Within the next five years about 15 % of the Swedish forest owners that will undergo a succession of ownership. Presently the most common way to acquire a forest estate in Sweden is to acquire it within the family. To decide to let go after a whole life as a forest owner and manager of your own land is for many people a hard decision to make and often requires a long process. The complex process that a succession of ownership often is includes both questions about economy, legal aspects and regulations, taxes and questions of more personal nature, often called soft issues. These personal aspects or soft issues are important and can if handled poorly or not at all negatively affect relationships in the family for a very long time.

It is important to have knowledge of the social workers expectations of leaders, their opinions of work and the leaders influence. It is also interesting to see if different generations have similarities or if they have different opinions.

I arbetet undersöker jag de diskurser som asexualitet - utifrån en kontext som menas påtala och kritisera heteronormativa antaganden - inträder i. Genom en ständigt närvarande disciplinering görs asexualitet till ett föremål för tal, och därmed föremål för diskurser. Utifrån villkor och antaganden om var och hur ?rätt? tal formuleras görs asexualitet till ett motsägelsefullt element att ordna in i framförandet av identitet. Asexualitet förhandlas i materialet gentemot exempelvis medicinska, psykologiska och sociala effekter. Genom fortlöpande diskursiva erkännanden och misskännanden konstrueras ?de asexuella? som autentiska individer med en konstant och stabil livshistoria.

The primary goal of this study was to investigate how the radial growth of retained trees responds after thinning-from-above. The National Board of Forestry which initiated this study, was interested in whether there were differences in the growth-response between the tree species Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) and Norway spruce (Picea abies (L.) Karst.). Another question of issue was if there were differences in the growth response between trees of different sizes. It is within the framework of the National Board of Forestry?s, Continuous Forests Project that these urgent questions are to be answered.

The Swedish photographer and artist Eva Klasson, based in Paris in the 1970s, gained attention for her series of black-and-white photography of her own naked body, which opened up for an international artistic career in the late 1970s. Despite a promising career she however abandoned photography and disappeared from the artistic sphere only a few years after her debut. There has been a renewed interest in Klasson?s work in Sweden the last decade where she has been exhibited at museums and galleries. Today she is represented at art museums and institutions including Moderna Museet, The Modern Museum of Art, in Stockholm.

This thesis explores how the Swedish magazine Morgonbris depicted women's new roles in the workforce during World War I and whether these depictions challenged or upheld contemporary gender structures. The study addresses two main questions, how Morgonbris portrayed women's new roles in the workforce and how this portrayal challenged or upheld contemporary gender structures. And also how the magazine integrated the ideal of respectability to engage and mobilize female workers, analyzed through Ronny Ambj?rnsson's descriptions of respectability ideals. Using Hirdman's gender system theory, which examines the maintenance of gender power structures through separation and hierarchy, and Ambj?rnsson's work on respectability ideals, the study employs a qualitative content analysis of articles from Morgonbris during the war years. By identifying and analyzing expressions of class and respectability ideals, the research uncovers strategies used to engage and mobilize female workers. The results show that Morgonbris portrayed women's entry into traditionally male-dominated labor sectors as a significant shift that challenged established gender roles.

Recording and analyses of superovulation results and fertility records at the nucleus herd Viken The development of different reproductive technologies aim at increasing the number of progeny per individual parent, and in that improving the possibility of genetic progress. One technique, embryo transfer, have facilitated genetic dissemination and shortened the generation interval also in females. Nötcenter Viken is a company that run embryo collection and embryo transfer in the breeds Swedish Red and Swedish Holstein. It is located outside Falköping. Information is continuously gathered about cows tested at the nucleus herd.

Companies today face more and more demands from society and stakeholders. It is no longer about just satisfying shareholders, sales and making a profit. Consumers are becoming more aware of products effects and the consequences it has on humans, our environment and the generation ahead of us. NGO:s and society request that companies take responsibility and actions toward a more sustainable business. Many investors analyze companies? sustainability regarding social and environmental issues when it comes to choosing a company to invest in.

In the middle of Australia there is a city called Alice Springs. The city has one of the highest amounts of daily sunshine hours and sun irradiation in the world. The Australian Government runs a project called Solar Cities, and Alice Springs is one of the participators. The main part of the goal with the Solar Cities project is to increase the amount of electricity generated by solar power and by doing that lower the impact on the environment. This thesis examines the possibilities for construction of a large scale solar power plant in Alice Springs. This is done to determine the potential of creating a more sustainable energy system in the city.

På en konkurrensutsatt arbetsmarknad måste både arbetsgivare och arbetstagare gynnas för attkunna skapa en hållbar arbetsplats. Detta tror vi kan formas med hjälp av ett strategiskt HRarbetesom jobbar internt med employer branding i samspel med de anställdas psykosocialaarbetsmiljö men även externt mot andra aktörer för att kunna vara attraktiva som arbetsgivare.Arbetskraften inom teknikbranschen utgörs idag till stor del av generation X och Y, somlockas och engageras av helt andra faktorer i arbetet så som frihet, kreativitet ochmeningsfullhet till skillnad från tidigare generationer (Parment & Dyhre 2009). Dessaförväntningar ställer andra krav på arbetsgivare för att skapa en god arbetsmiljö men även föratt bygga ett attraktivt employer branding-arbete.Syftet med vår uppsats är att förstå sambandet mellan psykosocial arbetsmiljö och employerbranding i en public service-organisation. Vår studie genomförs på en av organisationensdivisioner. Genom att kartlägga divisionens psykosociala arbetsmiljö samt sammanställakännetecknen för den psykosociala arbetsmiljön och employer branding-arbetet undersöker vihur dessa två områden kan kopplas samman med varandra.Tidigare forskning där dessa två områden förs samman är begränsad.

Den här uppsatsen har som syfte att se om det finns skillnader i hur föräldrar och barn uppfattar datorspelande men även om pojkar och flickor ser datorspelande på olika sätt. Datorspelande finns i många former och har blivit en stor del av vardagen, speciellt när det gäller dagens generation som är uppvuxna i ett konsumtionssamhälle där media ofta vänder sig till de unga konsumenterna. För att undersöka om det skiljer sig i hur barn och deras föräldrar upplever datorspelande har en enkätundersökning genomförts på en skolklass i årskurs 7 samt deras föräldrar, samtliga 25 elever och 18 av de 25 tillfrågade föräldrarna svarade på enkäten, svaren samt den tidigare forskningen som redovisas ligger till grund för materialet i den här studien. Då studien stötte på en del problem som ledde till ett byte från kvalitativ till kvantitativ metod kommer konsekvenserna det hade för studien att redovisas mer ingående i metod delen. Resultaten i studien berör huruvida barn och föräldrar ser olika eller lika i fråga om datorspelade.

?Mechanical debridment ? A studie in irrigation optimization? is a final thesis which was executed by Fredrick Ekman, in close collaboration with the other group member Mikael Johansson, during the spring 2012. The thesis was carried out through Karlstad University Faculty of Technology and Science in the study program of Innovation and Design Engineering (180 ECTS credits). The client of the project was Medilink AB located in Lindesberg, and the contact person was Nils-Erik Söderström, Chief Executive Officer. The project was supervised by lecturer, Lennart Wihk, and examined by lecturer and professor Fredrik Thuvander at Karlstad University.
