Comparative housing research is hindered by attempts to provide broad empirical categorisations of types of Housing Regimes and their equivalents and sweeping cross-country generalisations about their effects. Regime theory is right to recognise the housing provision is and can be organised in different ways but proselytises too strongly. Real issues and policy debates in countries are instead embedded in the existence of specific, tenure related, networks of housing provision and they widely differ across the world. Taking that on board can lead to more fruitful understandings.
This article presents the numerical modelling of hydrodynamics and sediment transport processes in the seasonal Pathri Rao River, which flows in the Northern part of India. Modelling is made by the coupled application of the hydrodynamic model called TELEMAC-2D and the morphodynamic model called SediMorph. The hydrodynamic model results are validated with the observed data and it has been found that the present model provides reasonable predictions. Likewise, the validation of the morphodynamic model is also presented. For this purpose, the suspended and bed load transport modules are validated separately for four runoff events observed during the investigations. The validation of the former is approached by comparing the depth-averaged suspended transport concentrations against experimental measurements made at the make-shift gauging station and subsequent comparison against experimental measurements. On the other hand, due to non-availability of the observed values on bed load sediment transport, the bed load sediment transport and bed evolution numerical results could not be validated quantitatively and was approached only on qualitative basis. In general, both validations present an acceptable agreement with measurements and scientific facts. Further, this study demonstrates that the coupled TELEMAC-2D/SediMorph system could be used with confidence for practical applications in the Pathri Rao River. and Príspevok obsahuje výsledky numerického modelovania hydrodynamických javov a transportu sedimentov v občasnom toku Pathri Rao, v severnej časti Indie. Procesy boli modelované zdvojenou aplikáciou hydrodynamického modelu TELEMAC-2D a morfodynamického modelu SediMorph. Výsledky modelovania hydrodynamickým modelom boli verifikované s využitím pozorovaných hodnôt; bolo zistené, že model dáva akceptovateľné výsledky. Prezentuje sa tiež verifikácia morfodynamického modelu. Počas epizód odtoku bol transport suspendovaných častíc a častíc transportovaných po dne toku verifikovaný osobitne. Verifikácia transportu suspendovaných častíc bola uskutočnená porovnaním hĺbkovo spriemerovanými koncentráciami suspendovaných častíc s meranými hodnotami na prietokomerných staniciach. Pre nedostatok pozorovaných údajov o dnovom transporte, údaje o ňom a o zmenách morfológie toku mohli byť verifikované len kvalitatívne. Záverom, obe verifikácie dali akceptovateľnú zhodu s výsledkami meraní a existujúcimi vedeckými poznatkami. Okrem toho výsledky štúdie demonštrujú schopnosť zdvojených modelov TELEMAC-2D/SediMorph získavať spoľahlivé výsledky pri aplikácii na rieke Pathri Rao.
The essential attribute of socio-cultural anthropology and ethnography – fieldwork – is a process that interferes in the intimate lives of the population under observation, and that of the researcher as well. This study reconceptualises the issue of sexuality and gender, as they are for the individual the primary characteristic which determines a researcher’s position in field. The article highlights the discrepancy between the way fieldwork techniques are taught, and the real practice of fieldwork. One solution could entail relaxing methodological formalism, which may be in practice unachievable, and the removal of the taboo surrounding the whole issue. Different strategies for dealing with the researchers’ own sexuality and gender in the field, and their accompanying adaptation to the situation, are considered. Attention is paid to the issue of sexual violence in fieldwork., Gabriela Fatková., and Obsahuje bibliografii
