Syftet med studien är att belysa frivillighetsorganisationers arbete med hemlöshet i Sverige, Polen och Kanada genom att, utföra en komparativ analys av deras tillvägagångsätt och metoder i relation till olika välfärdskontexter. Studien insamling av primärdata är gjord genom semistrukturerade intervjuer med tre nyckelrespondenter från respektive land. Intervjufrågorna är framtagna utifrån det syfte och frågeställningar som genomsyrar studien och för att få fram frivillighetsorganisationernas egna upplevelser om relationen till hemlöshet och välfärdsstaten. Materialet analyserades därefter utifrån en historisk och traditionell komparation av organisationernas ökade utrymme i den tillbakadragande välfärdsstaten. Slutsatsen i denna studie är att frivillighetsorganisationerna bör kräva mer utrymme i samhället, främst i Sverige och Polen.

The following thesis is a study of the forest history on the island of Ängsön-Marskär concentrating on the last three hundred years. The island is located in the administrative province of Stockholm, the local community of Haninge and it is situated approximately seven kilometres east of the island Ornö in the south of the Stockholm archipelago. The questions this thesis attempts to answer are: How where the natural resources on Ängsön-Marskär used through the centuries? How has the state of the forests developed since the 16th century? How will the nature develop onwards? The thesis is based on archival sources for Ängsön-Marskär and the surrounding areas. A field study was conducted where the entire island was investigated using an objective forest inventory method. The first map material existing over Ängsön-Marskär is from the year 1711.

The purpose of this report is to increase the awareness about the problem that occur when the waste hierarchy is applied to management of contaminated land. The work with remediation of contaminated land in Sweden is part of the efforts towards reaching the national environmental objectives. Therefore a subsidiary aim is to analyze how this influences the prospects of reaching the objectives. The work consists of two parts; a case study and a comparative literature study that focus on England, the Netherlands and Sweden. The case study is intended to provide a practical perspective through a comparison of the climate impact from two methods.

This paper deals with the question of neolithisation of Southern Scandinavia. The main goal is to give an overview of three theories regarding how agriculture and livestock breeding was introduced to the Southern Scandinavia. These are as follows: the immigration theory, the socio-economic theory and the historical explanation theory. Furthermore it is investigated which theory has the most probably support in material culture. There are obvious difficulties in interpreting the archaeological material.

Förhållandet mellan handel och miljö är kontroversiellt inom The World Trade Organization (WTO) och arbetet på området präglas av motsättningar. WTO-kritiker har pekat på ett antal tvister inom WTO där WTO:s tvistlösningsorgan beslutat till nackdel för det land som har infört handelshindrande åtgärder för att skydda miljön. Utfallet kan tolkas som att miljöintresset förlorade mot handelsintresset. Det är dock tveksamt om man kan dra några slutsatser enbart genom att se till utfallet. Denna uppsats syftar till att bringa mera klarhet i hur WTO-reglerna balanserar frihandelsintresset mot miljöintresset.

With the days DGPS-technology can a position of 5 centimetres decides. With this exactly position is the technology very interesting for the agriculture. I think this technology can come more and more in the future. You can also move the fact and information further to the spreader, sprayer and seeders. If the combine is equipped with harvest accounting, can you with help of the system make harvest maps.

Internationella företag världen över väljer att i allt större utsträckning förlägga sin forskning och utveckling, FoU, utomlands och Sverige är det land där utvecklingen går snabbast. Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka vad som förklarar internationaliseringen av FoU, samt vilka möjligheter och utmaningar utvecklingen medför för Sverige. För att besvara detta genomför vi en studie av Sveriges största internationella industrikoncerner. Resultaten tyder på att anpassning till lokal marknad och stöd till produktion är de dominerande motiven, vilket indikerar att verksamhet i utlandet snarare kompletterar än ersätter svensk FoU. Utvecklingen medför dels en möjlighet för Sverige att dra nytta av den kunskap företagen erhåller utomlands, och dels att svenska företag blir mer konkurrenskraftiga på utländska marknader.

The objective of this thesis was to get more knowledge before an alternation of generations. In theses I have chose to make two drawings, one for dairy cows and one for cattle rearing. The drawings are made for a future alternation of generations at my parental home in the province Dalarna. The results are made out of educational visits at different farms and literature investigations. Those dairy farms who I visited had different milking system at each farm and the cattle farm I visited had beef production. The farms are placed in the middle and south of Sweden. At 1998 the Swedish Board of Agriculture decided to change the stall breadth and stall length and the result of this is that many farmers had to rebuild their cattle- and dairy buildings or end farming..

This thesis focuses on the construction of drystone walls in the county of Sm?land, as well as their historical value and significance to the county. In Riksantikvarie?mbetets Plattform Kulturhistorisk v?rdering och urval, a directory for historical evaluations of buildings and objects, the first clause is to describe the object and its history. When trying to do this, the lack of literature focusing on the constructional elements of drystone walls and their history became an issue and is what prompted the writing of this thesis. With a study of different handbooks, a compilation of the constructional elements of the walls were put together.

Avsikten med uppsatsen är att undersöka vilka handelseffekter Sveriges inträde i EU 1994 har medfört på handeln av frukt och grönsaker. Vi har även undersökt hur inträdet har påverkat handeln med tredje land. Med hjälp av Trumans metod har vi analyserat frukt och grönsaker på aggregerad samt disaggregerad nivå. Analyserna samt diskussionerna som förs i uppsatsen utgår ifrån handelsomfördelning och handelsalstring, vilka är de två handelseffekter metodens sex olika utfall påvisar. Då vi studerade en tullunions uppkomst och dess konsekvenser på handeln förväntade vi oss en handelsalstring inom unionen samt en handelsomfördelning gentemot tredje land.

The survey describes a number of risks that Swedish farming companies are exposed to. The risk areas covered by the survey are currency risks, price risks and financial risks. The survey further describes why these risks have a great impact on the future development of the farming companies. The survey highlights the interrelation between the risks and the measures which can be used to minimize the risks, so-called financial instruments. The aim of the survey is to put focus on above mentioned risks and describe how these risks can be reduced to prevent the Swedish farming industry from stagnating in the future. The survey is a secondary survey whereby existing knowledge about risks and risk management is applied to farming companies. The written information on price risks and hedging is primarily derived from foreign sources.

Bark-stripping by red deer (Cervus elaphus) cause extensive damage to economically valuable spruce trees (Picea abies) in Swedish forests. The underlying causes for bark-stripping are not fully understood, and the frequency and severity of damage unpredictably differ between regions. In this study, I investigated if landscape structure (e.g. agricultural dominated landscape opposed to forest dominated landscape), forage availability, population density and disturbance (e.g. roads and settlements) affect bark-stripping frequency.

Finland präglades under efterkrigsdecennierna av både ekonomiska och politiska problem. Finland hade ekonomiska problem efter att de varit med i Andra Världskriget, de skulle betala ett stort krigsskadestånd till Sovjetunionen och det krävdes stora summor för att återuppbygga landet. Det var på grund av de ekonomiska problemen stor politisk instabilitet i landet, Finland hade mellan 1950 och 1959 tretton olika regeringar. Push and Pull teorin användes till denna uppsats, Finland var ett typiskt push-land, det vill säga ett land med negativa förhållanden med hög arbetslöshet och stor bostadsbrist. Medan Sverige var ett pull- land alltså ett land som har ekonomiska framgångar och hög arbetslöshet och var därmed ett land som människorna från ett push-land flyttar till. Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka bakomliggande faktorer till varför människorna ville flytta från Finland och varför de flyttade just till Sverige.

Hybrid aspen is a crossbreed between European and North American aspen. It is a fast growing tree species that has shown strong growth in the South of Sweden. The follow-ups that have been made on hybrid aspen stands, have mainly been done on plant material in the South of Sweden. In the North of Sweden, only occasional studies have been made, and the knowledge of Northern hybrid aspen stands is, thus, unsatisfactory.In the South of Norrland, land owners have planted hybrid aspen, but what kind of plants it is, and how well these stands have established, is not ascertained, since data has not been compiled on the subject.The objective of this study is to evaluate practical plantations of hybrid aspen in the South of Norrland regarding height growth, survival and damages. The ambition is to increase the knowledge about practical plantations regarding height growth, survival and damages, and from the conclusions thereof, give recommendations for future establishments of hybrid aspen in the area.For the study, eight hybrid aspen stands in the South of Norrland were localised.

The aim of this study is to with the help of my data, conduct statistic analyses about animal welfare mistakes and scarities, as a preventive measure for the public sector point of view and how farmers handle their animals in these cases, when and how these mistakes and scarities are likely to appear and in this way perhaps manage the existing problems. The aim of using judicial decisions of banning ownership and caretaking of animals according to the 29 § is that this judicial decision is the outermost fortification of animal welfare. In November 1938 the pro tempore investigator handed over a report with a proposition according the animal welfare legislation. Pro tempore proposed that the court should in some cases, be able to order a person guilty of cruelty against animals to a ban of owning or taking care of animals. This proposal unfortunately was turned down. The question about introduce a ban against owning or taking care of animals into the Swedish animal welfare legislation was again discussed in April 1967 at an interpellation debate in the parliaments second chamber.
