A literature study and a field trial have been carried out in order to investigate the physiological response of potato plants to different soil moisture levels. Higher yield, quality and number of tubers can according to the literature be obtained if constant high soil moisture is kept during major parts of the growing season. A field trial was set up where drip irrigation was used as an alternative to conventional irrigation techniques to maintain high and constant soil moisture. The application of water in the drip irrigated Area was monitored and adjusted on a daily basis so that the soil moisture stayed as close as possible to the recommended level. The sprinkle irrigated Area was irrigated according to traditional practices with approximately 35 mm every 7th to 10th day depending on the whether.

The Swedish industrial society has left several Areas with contaminated soil and water which today is of danger for the environment and human health. One of these Areas with contaminated soil and water is the region where the former Glava glassworks operated during 1859 to 1939. The main object in this study has been to study the responsibility for the contaminations according to the Environmental Code. The method used is a qualitative content analysis of relevant literature to answer the following questions:What types of contaminations can be found in the Area of Glava glasswork and what health issues can these cause?What kind of activity has been conducted in the Area that have caused the contaminations in soil and water?According to law, what are the responsibilities for the contaminations in soil and water at Glava glassworks?The contamination in the region has been confirmed to originate from the glasswork due to the environmental engineering survey made in the Area in 2009.

Statistics Sweden is an administrative agency that delimits built-up Areas and produces statistics regarding them. The statistics provide information about the Area of the built-up Areas, their population number, number of gainfully employees working in the built-up Areas, and of buildings. Now Statistics Sweden wishes to extend such statistics by producing a measure regarding how well developed the service is in each built-up Area.This study is a contribution to this statistical improvement work and the purpose is to ? by employing geographical information systems and cluster analysis ? classify the Swedish built-up Areas according to 1) service width and 2) service degree. A particular built-up Area has a high service width if it has many different service functions, such as pharmacies, schools and grocery stores.

AbstractWorking as a lawyer demands not only legal skills, but also ethical ones due to the involvement with humans. The Area of ethics is far from as regulated as the Area of law is. The reasons for this are both historical ? as the Area of ethics is, in comparison with the practice of law, a relatively new Area, especially combined with the traditional work of lawyers ? and technical, since ethics is an Area that seems difficult to regulate due to its adopting skills. Ethics looks different depending on which work Area it addresses; who you ask; and in what situation it shall be enlightened.

The purpose of this report is to compile and examine the cost of renovation of moisture-damaged bathrooms, to derive a target price. The target price can then be used by insurance companies to estimate the ultimate cost of future bathroom renovations.       The method is based on the compilation and comparison of the cost of repairs of previous water damage in bathrooms. The calculations compiled based on repair estimates for different insurance losses from one of the leading insurance companies in Sweden.       The result shows the average price per square meter of floor Area for different sizes of bathrooms. The average price is the basis for the estimate of future renovation costs of bathrooms. The results further show that the bathroom finishes, Area and the distance between the entrepreneur and the location of the renovation have great impact on the final repairing cost.

Coastal Areas are popular for housing, both for permanent living and holiday houses. At the same time, thin sediments and small storage capacity in the bedrock makes the ground water resources limited. The limited ground water resources combined with too large withdrawals of ground water makes salt water intrusion a problem in many coastal Areas. This study examine the risk of salt water intrusion in drinking water supplying wells on the island Södra Finnö in S:t Anna archipelago, Östergötland, Sweden. A calculation of the relation between ground water recharge and withdrawal is obtained to analyze the ground water balance in the Area.

In Dar es Salaam, as in many cities in developing countries, green Areas are decreasing due to the fact that the growth of buildings, infrastructure and services has become a priority. As the population increases more buildings and infrastructure are needed and much of the building activity takes the form of uncontrolled settlements, which encroaches the public green space. Dar es Salaam has approximately three million inhabitants, of which about 70 percent are living in informal settlements. The aim with this study is to make a design proposal for a park and recreation Area where the Msimbazi river basin in the centre of Dar es Salaam is today. The basin consist of a few playing fields, footpaths and some urban farming, but apart from this it mostly consists of unused grasslands, swamps and forests. Because it is an unsafe place and badly connected to the rest of the city infrastructure, it has become a barrier. The annual flood combined with the constant still shallow water creates a good breading ground for malaria mosquitoes.

AbstractThe purpose of this paper is to examine how the population living in Christiania considers their residential Area in relation to the surrounding society, and why you as an individual choose to live there. We have used the qualitative method and we have performed interviews with a total of six persons. We have used Tönnies two notions regarding gemeinschaft and gesellschaft, and Goffmans theory about stigma. We choose these theories because we thought that they were most relevant for our study. Our question at issue is: Why does a person seek to live in an alternative society, with different norms in comparison to the majority society? Through our interview persons we learned their stories and their opinions considering their residential Area and we concluded that Christiania differs from the remaining society in several ways.

Due to the climate change natural disasters expects to increase and in some Areas the conditions for dissemination of hazardous pollutants from contaminated Areas could be affected. Different inventories and mapping has been made to identify Areas of risk for flood or avalanche around the country. At the same time inventory and treatment of potential polluted Areas (MIFO objects) is progressing. In Ljungans run of Area in Västernorrlands county is a exposed Area due to the amount of clay and silt in the ground that are sensitive in the context avalanche. The Area has also a lot of MIFO objects and risks of flood.This essay aims to investigate what data material that is available regarding MIFO objects, flood- and avalanche risks in Ljungans run of Area in Västernorrlands county.

Modern forest owners are very familiar with forest management and forest economics. Therefore they have high demands for quality in forest operations. Guarantee of quality in the shape of self-checking activities is an important tool to guarantee a well managed forestry operation. To meet the forest owners? demands on guarantee of quality and the entrepreneurs wish of an easy method for self-checking, the forest owners association, Södra skogsägarna, has developed a new method for thinning inventory. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the method that is used for self-checking and to find ways to develop and improve of the method. The data has been collected by inventory in a number of stands with circle-Area survey and with strip survey, which is method that is used for self-checking. The results show that the strip survey does not diverge more than ±10 % in measuring values of basal Area, number of stems, roads share, thinning quotient, outtake of basal Area and total volume compared to circle-Area survey.
