Summary The leaf beetles, Lilioceris lilii and L. merdigera have existed in Asia, Europe and in North Africa for a long time, but have become much more abundant the last twenty-five years. Even North America has been affected during the last years. The purpose of this investigation of Lilioceris species in Sweden, is to give advice to gardeners, which type of control measures is the most effective in order to restrict their damage to lilies. Lilioceris species overwinter normally as pupae in the soil under the host or close by. Literature and contact with advisors have described the life cycle and spreading of Lilioceris. Under favourable conditions these leaf beetles have two Generations/year in the south of Sweden. Both the adults and the larva eat the foliage, and by strong attacks even flowers can be eaten and only the stem is remaining. My own observations include different treatments of both lily foliage and of the leaf beetle.

People born 1940-1949 will be more demanding regarding help from the elder care than previous Generations.

Denna uppsats handlar om hur jag arbetat med att ta fram två spelbara karaktärer, en så historiskt korrekt samuraj som möjligt och en 2-årig pojke, som skulle kunna vara hans son. Båda ska uppfylla kraven för nästa Generations dataspel. Jag har skrivit om arbetsprocessen, och om de svårigheter jag stött på. De flesta problemen har jag lyckats lösa, men några har jag valt att kringgå. Det finns också en reflekterande text, som tar upp det allmänna intresset just nu för japansk kultur och historia, och där jag bl a försöker förklara varför jag valt att skapa dessa två karaktärer.

AbstractAuthor: Josefine KostinTitle: A succesful work of integration? ? a case study of the integration work within the Botkyrka municipalityThe last decades, Sweden has become more ethnic heterogenetic.

This essay is investigating what type of sources we trust, depending on how the information in these sources is created and provided. To exemplify, the sources Wikipedia and Nationalencyklopedin (the Swedish National Encyclopedia) were used, each one representing different approaches. The first is a representation of the collective intelligence, where anyone can contribute with their knowledge to the public ? freedom under responsibility. The latter represents peer-reviewed knowledge, desirable enough to have people paying for it? true and unaffected.Based on theories of source criticism, collective intelligence, expertise and the different Generations of digital natives and digital immigrants, two focus groups were conducted and analysed.

Arbetsmarknaden står inför ett Generations- och paradigmskifte, när den äldre generationen går i pension och de yngre förväntas ta över. Samtidigt ökar den psykiska ohälsan och sjukskrivningen främst bland de yngre och stress rapporteras vara den stora bakomliggande orsaken; känslan av otillräcklighet och svårighet att få balans i livspusslet. Undersökningar poängterar att förebyggande arbete och tidiga insatser gynnar såväl medarbetares hälsa och arbetsplatsens ekonomi. Studiens syfte är att undersöka om samtalsstöd som ett nytt subventionerat friskvårdsalternativ uppfattas positivt, i synnerhet av Generation Y (födda 1982-1999). Resultatet av enkätundersökningen, genomförd på ett kommunkontor med 76 deltagare visade att 60% skulle boka samtal idag om det erbjöds som ett friskvårdsalternativ.

Today is one of the goals with zoos to conserve endangered species and some animals may also become reintroduced. But behaviours can change in Generations of captive animals because of environments that differ from the wild.

På grund av stora pensionsavgångar står arbetsmarknaden inför en Generationsväxling. Detta kommer att påverka dagens chefspositioner, och innebär att när äldre chefer pensioneras blir behovet av nya chefer allt större. Syftet med den här studien var dels att undersöka hur nästa Generations arbetskraftser på att i framtiden inta en chefsposition och även om det finns vissa delar av chefskapet som de är mer positivt respektive negativt inställda till. Studien baserades på en enkätstudie där studenter från personalvetarprogrammet och civilingenjörsprogrammet vid Umeå universitet fick skatta ett antal påstående gällande chefskap. Resultatet visade att chefsattityden generellt sett var positiv för respondenterna, dock ville endast ett fåtal bli chef så snart som möjligt av sin karriär.
