En landsomfattande försökserie anlades mellan 1984 - 1988 med 15 försöksblock i Sverige. Syftet var att studera den totala effekten på virkesproduktionen av tre olika intensiva skogsskötselalternativ. Inom varje block upprättades en extensiv behandling som innebar att ingen åtgärd efter avverkning vidtogs, en normal behandling som motsvarade markägarens normala skötselintensitet vid tiden när försöken anlades. Slutligen fanns en intensiv behandling där ambitionsnivån skulle vara högre än vad som kunde anses vara normalt. Mitt syfte var att studera hur fältskiktets täckningsgrad och artantal påverkats av de tre olika skogsskötselintensiteterna på de tre försöksblocken Bjurholm, Edefors och Harads i Norra Sverige. På dessa block inventerade jag markvegetationen med fokus på fältskiktet i månadsskiftet mellan Juni och Juli 2013.

This thesis aims at studying the development of the party cohesion and oligarchichaltendencies in the party groups of the Swedish national parliament, riksdagen, after theintroduction of two clear block coalitions during the years 2006-2010.The result of the cohesion during these years has been compared towards the years 1998-2006.The research method being used has been 18 semi structured interviews with member of the parliament during the examined years. The main findings show an increment of both the cohesion and the oligarchical tendencies after the block coalitions during the years 2006-2010. The result verified therefore also the two originally stated hypothesis..

In recent years, existing solutions for cooling personal computer CPUs have been supplemented by a new product category, factory sealed water cooling loops. These systems, consisting of a water block with an integrated pump, a fan and a radiator, perform well compared to the air cooling solutions but are less effective than larger, custom-built water cooling systems.This project aims to explore the most important aspects of a factory sealed system and to identify possible cost-effective enhancements of the performance.The most significant differences between the different groups of water cooling loops are the block design and the pumping power. The performance of both categories is also largely dependent on the fan power, but increasing fan power has a large negative impact on the noise level.Both radiator size and fan model choice appear, in tests, to be relatively unimportant, presuming that the noise level is kept constant. The position and direction of the fan, however, has significant impact on both the temperature and the sound level.Water blocks can be designed in several different ways, both regarding the heatsink design and the flow direction. In simulation, flow with the inlet centered above the heatsink result in considerably lower pressure drop and slightly higher temperatures than flow through the block, for heatsinks with fin arrays.Creating a competitive product in this product segment certainly seems possible, as there are performance-increasing changes to be made that seemingly has little impact on the production cost.

To reach objectives within EU?s Habitatdirective and the national environmental objectives, more information about semi-natural pastures is required. The expression semi-natural pasture is used for pastures that during the latest time are uncultivated and unfertilized. Semi-natural pastures are important in many respects for example to conserve the biodiversity and for our cultural history. The aim of my study was to compile and calculate the area of semi-natural pastures by use existing sources of information.

Jag har skrivit om barnen och deras situation i samhället. Min tanke är att barnen överöses av krav under hela sin uppväxt och att de sällan finner tid för att finna sig själv. Min tanke är att kyrkan skulle kunna hjälpa barnen att finna denna tid, men frågan kvarstår om ens de hinner med detta. I mitt första block tar jag upp dessa frågor i min inledning och har även en metoddel för att visa vilken litteratur jag tagit del av för att genomföra arbetet. Mitt andra block tar upp barnens situation idag, både inom den egna familjen och inom skolan samt det övriga samhället.

I denna fallstudie skapas förståelse för projektorganisationers organisering. Detta har gjorts genom att inledningsvis beskriva den organisatoriska utvecklingen, där byråkrati och postbyråkrati präglar introduktionen. Problemdiskussionen förstärks genom användning av dikotomi, där grekiska mytologins gudar gestaltar organiserandets utveckling. Syftet med studien är att bidra till en nyanserad bild av hur projektorganisationer organiserar sig och anmanar system. För att möjliggöra syftet angrips fallstudien med en abduktiv forskningsansats.

Eskilstuna Elektronikpartner (EEPAB) är ett elektronikföretag som tillverkar vinkelgivare till bland annat kranar som är monterade på lastbilsflak.För att EEPAB på ett intressant sätt ska kunna demonstrera sin produkt på mässor har en demonstrator tagits fram. Denna demonstrator består av en fjärrstyrd grävmaskin och en elektronikenhet, som hanterar den analoga signalen från vinkelgivaren. Resultatet, som är vinkelgivarens lutning i grader, presenteras på två sjusegmentdisplayer som är placerade på grävmaskinens bägge sidor. Vinkeln skickas även trådlöst från elektronikenheten, via Bluetooth, till en PC. Grävmaskinens batteri (7,2V) strömförsörjer all hårdvara, vilket gör att demonstratorn är helt portabel.Denna rapport beskriver block för block de olika programfunktioner samt hårdvara, som behövs till en färdig och fungerande demonstrator..

The power system modelled in this thesis work has been developed for simulationwhen e.g. the production in some part of the power system is changed. The powersystem has been modelled according to the swing mass of the system, the frequencydependency of the load and the turbine governor. The model determines the systemfrequency, the period of regulation and the power exchange between the differentsubsystems in the Nordic synchronized system.In this model the system frequency is assumed to be the same in all different parts ofthe power system and the voltage conditions in the power system are neglected. Forthat reason power swings does not occur between different subsystems in the powersystem, which usually occur as a result of the swinging connection between thetransmissions line.

Passive houses are a relatively new concept in Sweden and by that it is meant a house without a traditional heating system. The most acknowledged passive house project is the terrace houses in Lindås, Gothenburg, which we have used as a reference. This project concerns a square apartment block. So far, no square apartment block has been built as a passive house in Sweden.The common opinion in the construction industry is that it is not economical to build extremely energy efficient houses. With Peab as commissioner our task was to investigate if that is true, if regarding the construction of a multi storey house as a passive houseMidroc, now owned by Peab, constructed in the block of Preussen in Jönköping during 2004-2005 four houses, with 132 apartments distributed on seven floors.

In this essay I will analyze how the poor relief was used in Eskilstuna during the years of 1883 to 1913. In the records over who took allowance from the authorities it will also be mention the year of birth, which block the person lived in, sometimes if that person had any children, and if the person was a women it was often written down what profession the (often dead) husband have had when he was alive, or as an alternative what the fathers profession had been and finally its notified how much the person had every month in allowance.I want to see how the poor relief changed over time. I will do four close checkups, i choose the years 1883, 1893, 1903 and 1913. I will read in the records and compare how many it was that needed the poor relief for that year and further on I will mark out where these people was living in Eskilstuna city. For that propose I will use a map from 1890 and mark out every block in town that received the allowance.

The trend in the transport sector is moving towards eco-friendly, fast and convenient transportation,this results in higher demands on railway transports. To meet the demand and quality requirements,the Swedish railway network will have to expand. The cheapest way is to expand little by little butwhat impact do these small steps actually have on the capacity?This thesis examines the interactions of different improvement for the capacity on a single-trackrailway. Through simulations in the software tool RailSys this report studies what effect block signals,extra meeting stations and rebuilding existing two track passing loops to three track loops have onthe capacity.

Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka skiftavlämning i tre kontrollrum på kärnkraftverket OKG utifrån attityder, tillit och procedurer. OKG beskriver sin säkerhetskultur som att all personal kan känna sig bekväma med att ifrågasätta och där hög tillit skall verka för att skapa ett öppet klimat. Tidigare forskning har visat att relationen mellan säkerhetsklimat och inställningen till avlämning är beroende av tillit (Kath et al., 2010). Studiens mål är att resultatet skall ge förslag till förbättringar eller förändringar till dagens arbetssätt kring skiftavlämning.Studien är genomförd som en fallstudie av explorativ samt jämförande karaktär och har en innesluten multipel enhets design. Datainsamlingen utfördes genom observationer samt semistrukturerade intervjuer.

The development in photogrammetry has created possibilities for new methods in aerial images acquisition. Remotely-controlled imaging from an unmanned helium zeppelin is a new and relatively unexplored acquisition. The purpose with this degree project is to evaluate the accuracy of this kind of low-height photographing system, a task given from the consultant company WSP, in Sweden. Landbadet in Uddevalla municipality was chosen as a test field for the zeppelin. Seventeen images distributed over three strips were acquired from the flying height of 80 m.

Background: Infectious Diseases Institute points out that the potential of various viraldiseases possibly can block each other. It is said that the virus that causes common cold,Rhinovirus, may have saved many people from the flu. If this assumption proves true, itwould explain why some viral diseases in some countries have been slow to take off and pointto a new way to struggle influenza. Objective: The main purpose of this study, based onreported cases of RSV and influenza type A, type B and H1N1, investigate whether viraldiseases can block each other, i.e. difficult season of flu may delay and / or mitigate thespread of RSV in Sweden.
