Sommario/riassunto

The book is a collection of extended papers which have been selected for presentation during the SIMHYDRO 2014 conference held in Sophia Antipolis in June 2014. The book focuses on the modeling and simulation of fast hydraulic transients, on 3D modeling, and on uncertainties and multiphase flows. The book explores both the limits and performances of actual models and also presents the most recent



developments based on new numerical schemes, high performance computing, multiphysics and multiscale, methods, and better interaction with field or scale models data. The book caters to practitioners, stakeholders, researchers and engineers in this field.

Sommario/riassunto

This book provides a fully-contextualised, multidisciplinary examination of bullying and violence in South Korean society. Bullying and violence has been a pressing societal issue since 2011, having been labelled as a 'social evil' to be eradicated by the government. However, the issue has been incorrectly confined to schools when in fact it is widespread in society and in professional settings, as Bax argues in this original new text. Through twenty in-depth case studies and original case material from a Juvenile Detention Centre, Bax examines the historical, cultural, political and social contexts of bullying and violence to better understand the nature of these crimes, the perpetrators, and how they come together in the broader cultural landscape within which the individual, the family, the school and the community are embedded.
