Humans have inhabited mountainous areas in northern Sweden since the end of the last glacial period, ca 8000 B.P., and their presence has marked the landscape in various ways. Older traces include the remains of hearths and dwelling sites, but there are also remains, such as culturally modified trees (CMT's), resulting from more recent activities in forested areas. This study aimed to document how people, both indigenous Sami's and Swedish settlers, have used an area northwest of Ammarnäs in Västerbotten, during the last 300 years, and what traces their activities have left in the area. I used historical records as well as an inventory of CMT's in the area to address this aim. Historical records of Sami activity are meagre, but it is clear that the people of the Ran and Gran Sami villages utilized the area long before 1500 A.D.

SUMMARYInventory of raw materials holds an important role in companies within the manufacturingsector. The inventory works as a buffer that secure the supply of materials to the productionunit.

En jämförelsestudiemellan teorins beskrivna effekter och upplevda effekter inom tillverkningsindustrin.Bakgrund: Den logistiska kedjan från producent till konsument blir alltmer komplexpå grund av att ett ständigt ökande antal artiklar tillverkas utifrån kundens behov ochönskemål. För att kunna tillgodose dessa behov och önskemål har företag historisktsett haft stora lager. VMI tar problemet med att hantera och utveckla effektiva lagertill en ny nivå.

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.

Introduction/Background: Economic evaluations help decision-makers to make informed decisions regarding resource allocation. Information generated from CEA can support evaluations of a new intervention with current praxis. The evaluations also provide information as to whether an intervention is cost-effective, both in economic terms and in health gains. Objective: The aim of this thesis is to investigate the use of economic evaluations in public health, with a focus on CEA. Use of economic evaluations is regarded as both a method for evaluation and as support for informed decisions.

Abstract:Title: Engelska (Svenska)Number of pages: 40 (47 including appendix)Author: Carl StrandTutor: Göran SvenssonCourse: Media and Communication Studies CPeriod: Fall 2005University: Division of Media and Communication, Department of Information Science, Uppsala UniversityPurpose/Aim: The purpose of this essay is to analyze how young people, in the ages 18 to 25, relate to the subject of file sharing, and what their attitudes to this phenomenon are. I aim to describe how they use file sharing, their knowledge about it, how their usage have changed due to the new copyright law, what their stands are on the question of resource control and management on the Internet, and what they think of the future of file sharing.Material/Method: The method being used is a qualitative focus group interview model, used to investigate how young people look at the subject of file sharing. The results of the interviews is then applied to a theoretical framework based on thoughts of Denis McQuail, Lawrence Lessig concerning creativity, copyright, resource management and file sharing on the InternetMain Results: My conclusion is that the widespread file sharing habits of young people is not only caused by the temptation of getting free stuff, but of the lack of commercial and legal alternatives. Youths are willing to pay for media if the distribution is superior to the illegal file sharing alternative. They are a generation of young people that has grown up in a society where the tendency in many fields has been to make everything faster and more effective.

Hälsopåverkan på grund av arbetslöshet är ett utbrett problem som påverkas av både samhälleliga och politiska faktorer. Brist på arbete medför många konsekvenser så som förlorad inkomst, ekonomisk sårbarhet och försämrad livskvalitet. Det finns ett klart samband mellan arbetslöshet och ohälsa med bemärkelse på psykisk ohälsa eftersom arbetslösa personer tenderar att ha sämre hälsa än arbetande personer. Coping handlar om hur individer reagerar på svåra eller stressande livssituationer. Hur en individ använder sig av olika copingstrategier påverkar hur denne hanterar den svåra livssituationen som arbetslöshet utgör.

This thesis explores strategic communication management within the non-profit sector. Communication models need to be adapted to the specific sector as different sectors require different approaches of strategic communication management. In the spring of 2013, the non-profit organization Save the Children Sweden initiated a communication model based on volunteer communicators. The following study explores how non-profit organizations can manage communications with a focus on volunteers as a communication resource. The applied research questions concern how volunteers may be integrated into communication activities, the opportunities and challenges connected to involving volunteer communicators and how this may affect the role of the organization's employed communicators.

Syfte: Att undersöka ledares tillvägagångssätt och möjligheter att ta tillvara mångfalden på arbetsplatsen i form av olika kompetenser, samt att se hur mångfaldspolicys på företagen kan utvecklas i framtiden. Problemformulering: Idag råder en ändrad syn på medarbetare. Från att ha setts som utbytbara enheter, ses de idag som ett viktigt konkurrensmedel med olika behov och drivkrafter som kan nyttjas till företagets lönsamhet. Detta ställer krav på ledaren i form av att kunna gå från ett företag där individerna ses som vilken produktionsresurs som helst, till ett företag där man lyfter fram mångfalden av individerna och skapar en insikt om att tillvaratagandet och utvecklandet av dessa kan vara förenligt med goda resultat. Metod: Kvalitativa forskningsintervjuer med platschefer och centrala chefer.

Det inträffar omkring 17 000 självmordsförsök i Sverige per år och hälften av dessa leder till psykiatrisk vård. Suicidriskbedömningar görs i psykiatrisk öppenvård av bland annat psykologer. Genom fem intervjuer undersökte vi ett i stort sett outforskat område: hur psykologer inom psykiatrisk öppenvård upplevde sitt arbete med suicidnära patienter. Vi använde tematisk analys för att analysera materialet vilket resulterade i två huvudteman: Att jobba på gränsen ? med undertemana Mellan liv och död, Mellan arbete och fritid och Mellan att vara psykolog och människa ? respektive Att balansera mellan acceptans och intervention ? med undertemana Förr eller senare så händer det samt Resurser och coping.

The aim of this paper was to study incoming complaints to The County Administrative Board in Västra Götaland during 2011 and examine if it was possible to see a connection between warranted and unwarranted complaints and informer, animal species and type of inadequate. In Västra Götaland, a complaint is classified as warranted if the inspection leads to a reprimand, whether it regards what was reported or not. Data were collected during three weeks through The County Administrative Board´s record system Platina and a total of 456 complaints were studied. The parameter ?complainant? was categorized into four groups according to The County Administrative Boards own division; public with the subgroups anonymous and non-anonymous, animal health staff and others.
