Presentation1
The document describes three types of structures:
1) Solid structures which are made of a solid piece of material like cement pads, the earth, and trees.
2) Shell structures which have a solid outer surface and hollow inner area like styrofoam cups, snail shells, eggs, and helmets.
3) Frame structures which use a rigid arrangement of joined parts like frame structured buildings, tall buildings, and human skeletons.
Animals Shelter
Animals need shelter like humans to protect themselves from the elements. Many animals build their own shelters using materials like thorns, ropes, cotton and dried grass, while others live in shelters provided by humans, trees, or caves. Some animals like ants build structures like hills out of soil to store food and survive rainy seasons.
Animal Homes Focus Wall
Animal Homes discusses how different animals build homes to shelter themselves. Bees live together in hives, which are boxes they construct out of wax. Birds make intricate nests out of twigs, grass, and feathers to hold their eggs. Burrowing animals dig shallow underground tunnels for protection and to stay cool or warm.
Animal homes
The poem describes where different animals live - dogs in kennels, frogs in ponds, rabbits in burrows, and birds in nests in trees. While these animals live in their natural habitats, the speaker is happy living in their home made of bricks and stone.
Shell structures- advanced building construction
This document discusses different types of shell structures used in construction. It begins by defining shell structures as thin curved membranes or slabs, usually of reinforced concrete, that function as both structure and covering. It then describes various forms of curvature for shells including surfaces of revolution, translation, and ruled surfaces. It discusses developable and non-developable shells and provides examples of different shell structures like barrel vaults, domes, folded plates, and more. It also covers topics like suitable materials, centering, and construction of reinforced concrete barrel vaults.
Folded plate structure
Folded plate structures are assemblies of flat plates rigidly connected along edges to form a structure without additional beams. They were first used in 1923 for an aircraft hangar. The principle is inspired by folding in nature like leaves and wings. Structural behavior depends on folding pattern and connections. Types include folded plate surfaces, frames, and spatial structures made of materials like concrete, metal, wood, and glass. Applications include roofs, walls, floors, and steel sheet piles. Advantages are light construction and longer spans while disadvantages include complex formwork and labor. Examples are the Air Force Academy Chapel and Yokohama Passenger Terminal. The document recommends using folded plates for portable homeless shelters in Bangladesh.
FOLDED PLATES TYPES
This document provides information on various types of shell structures and folded plate structures. It discusses thin shell structures and the differences between shell structures and plate structures. It then describes various types of shell structures including barrel vaults, domes, folded plates, and intersection shells. It provides details on the design and analysis of these structures, including their elements, behaviors, and reinforcement.
Sin ttulo 1(2) (1)
There are several types of structures including frame, shell, arch, mass, and suspension structures. Frame structures are composed of long elements joined at the ends, shell structures use a thin outer layer to surround a volume, and arch structures use a semicircular shape. Mass structures are simply made of solid clumped materials while suspension structures hold elements with cables from tall columns. All structural elements must withstand various forces like tension, compression, shear, torsion, and bending to avoid collapsing.
T.d.c(tchn)
The document discusses different types of structures including frame structures, shell structures, arch structures, mass structures, and suspension structures. It also covers structural elements, types of unions between elements, and common forces acting on structural elements like tension, compression, shear, torsion, and bending.
structures
Solid structures rely on their own mass and have little internal space, while frame structures are made of connected parts and shell structures have a solid outer surface and hollow interior. Common bridge types include beam bridges which are flat and supported at the ends, arch bridges which use arches to distribute heavy loads, truss bridges made of triangular frames, and suspension bridges with cables anchored at tall towers on each end. Structural components like beams, columns, arches, and trusses are basic building blocks used in a variety of ways to construct strong yet lightweight structures.
Types of structures
The document describes 8 types of artificial structures: massive or lintelled, vaulted, lattice, triangulated, suspended or cable-stayed, pneumatic, rolled and plate, and geodesic. Massive or lintelled structures use a large amount of material and respond well to compression. Vaulted structures use arches and vaults to cover larger spaces. Lattice structures use foundations, floors, beams supported by pillars to transfer weight. Triangulated structures use trusses formed with bars in triangles. Suspended or cable-stayed structures use cables or tie rods, as in bridges. Pneumatic structures contain compressed air and are light. Rolled and plate structures are formed from curved metal/composite sheets
Types of structures
The document discusses different types of building structures including mass, vaulted, frame, shell, trusses, and suspension structures. It then shows pictures of examples of each type and asks the reader to identify which type of structure each picture represents.

The document discusses the San and Khoikhoi peoples who inhabited the Western Cape region of South Africa in the 16th century, prior to European colonization. It describes the San as the earliest inhabitants who lived as hunter-gatherers, while the Khoikhoi were also hunter-gatherers but supplemented their diet by herding livestock. As European settlers established colonies in the Cape in the 17th-18th centuries, they appropriated land from the Khoikhoi and San peoples, disrupting their way of life and forcing many into servitude on farms. Racial mixing occurred between European men and Khoikhoi/San women and slave women imported to the Cape, laying the foundations
Miscellaneous Structures

Thank you.
Space and shell structures
Shells are curved structures that can transmit loads in multiple directions and are constructed using thin materials like concrete or reinforced concrete. They distribute loads across their surfaces through compressive, tensile and shear stresses. Large spherical domes are often constructed using inflated membranes as forms which provide support during construction. Domes over 300 feet require a grid structure to provide sufficient stiffness while minimizing weight. Shells and folded plates are constructed as uniform thin surfaces rather than stacked discrete pieces like frames. Domes, vaults, and barrel shells are examples of shell structures used in building construction.

effect of gangs
Glasgow was branded the murder capital of western Europe due to high murder rates, with more than 170 gangs in the city and stabbings accounting for half of all murders in Scotland. Most deadly attacks in Glasgow are fueled by alcohol or drugs and involve stabbings, typically carried out by males aged 16 to 29 who know the victim. Crime rates in Glasgow are also higher than in New York City.
Gangs 3
Gangs engage in vandalism like graffiti by writing their names and tags on buildings. They also engage in violent crimes, especially in Scotland where knife attacks are common. Joining a gang means expected to fight with other gangs, which can result in injury or death. Gangs use social media and phones to organize fights with rival gangs.
Gangs 2
Gangs engage in antisocial and destructive behaviors like vandalism, fighting, and drug and alcohol abuse that negatively impact communities. Their activities destroy the local environment, scare residents who don't feel safe, and influence younger people to join gangs. Gangs organize fights through social media and when members are under the influence of drugs and alcohol. Their violence places a financial burden on health services and leaves families heartbroken by deaths from gang attacks.
Gangs
1. Gangs in Scotland typically use knives rather than guns in fights, and alcohol is usually involved in starting rivalries between gangs. Common drinks include Buckfast, cider, vodka, and cheap drinks.
2. The term "Ned" refers to stereotypical young working class males who engage in anti-social behavior like hooliganism, drinking, and petty crime. However, not all youths wearing tracksuits or Burberry should be labeled as such.
3. The most deprived areas in Scotland according to statistics are located in Glasgow and Edinburgh, with Glasgow having the highest rates of child poverty.
Crime 1
The document discusses several factors that contribute to gang violence and anti-social behavior in neighborhoods. It notes that gangs fight due to influences like alcohol, drugs, boredom, and seeking adrenaline rushes. They mark their territory through vandalism and graffiti with their gang logos. Older gang members encourage younger ones, perpetuating fighting across generations. Gangs communicate through websites, phone calls, texts, and chat rooms to organize fights. Their behavior stresses local residents, with one woman moving due to issues caused by youths in her area. Potential solutions proposed include creating youth clubs, more education, facilities, and increased police patrols.
Pass Modern Studies Higher
The document provides guidance for students taking the Modern Studies exam in Scotland. It outlines the format, timing, and requirements for Paper 1 and Paper 2. Paper 1 involves answering questions from different sections and choosing between two response models. Paper 2 involves a decision-making exercise using three sources of information. The document provides sample essay titles and advice on preparing responses, including using evidence, maintaining focus on the question, and time management. It emphasizes the importance of planning, using sources effectively, and demonstrating balanced analysis in Paper 2.
DME
The document provides guidance on how to tackle the Decision-Making Exercise (DME), which makes up Paper 2 of the Higher Grade exam. The DME tests the ability to evaluate complex source materials and make a decision. It has two parts: 1) answering evaluating questions about 3 sources and 2) writing a report to advise on a course of action using evidence from the sources. The summary focuses on the key steps for each part, including spending 20 minutes on part 1 and 55 minutes on planning and writing the report. Sources should be cross-referenced and background knowledge included to support the decision. Common mistakes to avoid are also outlined.
Health & Wealth
The document discusses several aspects of the UK healthcare system, including:
1) The NHS is publicly funded through national insurance, income tax and charges. It provides universal coverage for primary care through general practitioners and hospitals.
2) Private health insurance covers around 10 million people and provides an alternative to the NHS, but some argue it creates inequality and impacts the NHS.
3) There are inequalities in health outcomes based on factors like socioeconomic class, geography, gender and ethnicity. Improving lifestyle choices could help reduce these inequalities.
4) Community care aims to allow the elderly to remain independent at home but is underfunded and standards of care homes vary, while informal carers receive little support.
Health Inequalities
There are many factors that influence health inequalities in the UK, including geographical area, racial group, gender, and social class, with social class having a strong link to poverty. While health has improved overall, gaps between higher and lower social classes persist and may be widening. Approaches to solving health inequalities debate whether the focus should be on collective government action to address root social and economic causes, or more individualistic approaches emphasizing personal responsibility and lifestyle changes. Current thinking in the UK and Scotland incorporates elements of both, with a greater emphasis on prevention through social inclusion and poverty reduction policies.
Original aims of the NHS
The original aims of the UK's National Health Service were to provide universal healthcare that was free at the point of use, financed collectively through taxes and national insurance, and comprehensive from cradle to grave. While the NHS has increased life expectancy and access to services, it has only partially achieved its aims as regional differences remain, social class gaps in health persist, and waiting lists require prioritizing access to care.
Health & Social Class
The document discusses how social class is related to health in the UK, with three main points. Wealthier people tend to have better health due to factors like education, lifestyle, and living environment. Lower social classes have less access to healthy, nutritious foods and are more likely to develop cancer and other diseases from occupational hazards or unhealthy behaviors. Geography also plays a role, as those living in more impoverished areas face greater health risks. Overall, the data shows that people in lower social classes in the UK are much more likely to suffer from poor health outcomes.
Inequalities - Health Care Provision
There are significant inequalities in health outcomes and healthcare spending across different regions of the UK. Mortality rates are highest in Scotland, yet Scotland receives the highest funding per capita for healthcare. However, more funding does not necessarily correlate with better health outcomes, as areas within countries also show inequalities. Factors like deprivation, rurality, and access to services may better explain the health differences between regions.
Inequalities in health - social class
1) Numerous studies over many years have found a link between socioeconomic status and health inequalities in the UK, with those in lower social classes experiencing worse health outcomes.
2) The Black Report of 1980 and subsequent reports like the Acheson Report of 1998 found that factors like low income, unemployment, poor housing and education were key causes of health inequalities and that the gap between social classes was widening.
3) These reports recommended policies to reduce poverty and increase spending on health education to prevent illness, but UK governments were often critical of the findings and reluctant to implement the recommendations.
Inequalities in health - lifestyle
Lifestyle factors such as diet, obesity, smoking, and lack of exercise have a significant effect on health. Poor diet and lack of exercise are the main causes of rising obesity levels in the UK, where over half of adults are overweight. Obesity rates are higher among lower social classes and have increased health costs. Improving diet and increasing exercise levels are important for addressing health inequalities.
Inequalities in health care
The report studied health inequalities across the UK and found a widening gap between northern and southern areas. The six worst health areas were located in Glasgow, Scotland. People living in poorer areas had higher rates of poverty, infant mortality, and preventable death. The report concluded that reducing health inequalities required government action to tackle the underlying causes of poverty.
Health and wealth
Wealth in the UK is measured based on assets like housing, pensions, savings, and income sources like employment, benefits, and self-employment. While the UK has a GDP per capita of £17,300, making it the 19th richest in the OECD and 24th richest country globally, relative and absolute poverty remain issues, with relative poverty defined as lacking necessities and absolute poverty as being deprived of basic needs. Poverty levels grew in the 1980s when the richest 10% saw income rise 65% while the poorest saw a 13% drop, and have remained high, with 1 in 4 people and 1 in 3 children living in poverty. Recent trends show fewer poor families with children or pensioners,
Health comparison
The document discusses health inequalities in the UK based on findings from several government reports since 1842. It shows a strong link between poverty and poor health, though overall health has improved. Two nearby areas, Drumchapel and Bearsden, are compared, showing Drumchapel residents are much more likely to die young from common causes like heart disease. Recommendations are sought for reducing the health divide in West Dunbartonshire, particularly for young people.
voter behaviour
Social class is no longer the dominant factor in shaping political attitudes and voting behavior. While some residual class loyalty remains, factors like personality, policy issues, media influence, and regional differences now play a larger role in how people vote. Voters are also more volatile and willing to change their party alignments. With more floating voters, political parties must now appeal to a wider range of demographic groups and policy priorities to attract votes.
Wealth and Health
The document discusses causes of inequalities in wealth and health such as unemployment, low income, age, gender, and race. It outlines UK government strategies to reduce these inequalities, including legislation, directing resources to the old and children, advertising campaigns, welfare-to-work programs, and promoting individual responsibility and social inclusion. The government has had mixed success in meeting its targets to improve wealth, health, and reduce inequalities, but overall progress has been more positive than negative.
