This essay concerns the Hill forts in Halland. The Hill forts in Halland haven?t been archaeologically examined and they haven?t been studied as well as Hill forts in other parts of Sweden. The focus of this essay is to determine the use of the Hill forts in Halland.  Comparative studies will be made between Halland?s Hill forts and the Hill forts of Bohuslän and the Hill forts of the Eastern part of Sweden.The results of the research have yielded that the Hill forts in Halland strongly reminiscent of the Hill forts in Bohuslän when it comes to the positioning in the landscape, as well as the general appearance of the Hill forts.

This paper deals with Hill-forts located on and directly south of Selaön, in the center of Mälardalen, Södermanland, dated to the late roman period and the migration period. Of special interest is differences and similarities between the forts when it comes to their morphology and the Hills where they were built. Furthermore, their landscape has been examined and I have tried to put the Hill-forts in relation to any iron age settlements..

The essay deals with the Hill-fort on the mountain Halleberg, Sweden, its wall design, functionality, dating and its possible function as a central location and a place of worship of the ancestors.The Halleberg Hill-fort consists of a 1500 meters long at times cohesive stonewalls which together blocked the mountain from its surroundings. Hallberg's natural vertical scree and cliffs along with the masonry blocked the whole mountain from the surroundings.The Hill-forts, with few exceptions are largely not investigated archaeologically and its functionality and role in the ancient society is based on outdated research on the subject. The current archaeological interpretation is that Hill-forts served as temporary defense in times of unrest or served as center of power for a social elite. The prevailing view in the archaeological sphere is that the Hill-forts had a variety of functions and that its functionality and role in ancient society has varied.Halleberg´s strongest wall sections are at the mountain's south-eastern part where the natural driveway, Storgårdsklev is located. Along with the massive masonry of the walls in Bokedalen Storgårdsklev functioned as the Hill-forts main entrance.

Uppsatsen behandlar Henry Moores skulptur Hill Arches, som är placerad på Karlsplatz i Wien. Frågeställningen rör sig kring på vilket sätt skulpturen konkretiserar platsen. Som teoretisk grund ligger Christian Norberg-Schulz arkitekturteori om genius loci, platsens själ. Verket i sig, konstnärens intentioner, platsen samt teorin redogörs för. Grunden för iakttagelser av plats och skulptur, samt deras samverkan, är upplevelseorienterad.

This paper deals with the question of when Hill forts ? or enclosed mountains ? were built and to what purpose, by examining two enclosed mountains (RAÄ 78 and 79) in Grödinge parish in the province of Södermanland. A phosphate analysis was conducted to trace anthropogenic activities. The analysis showed only a slight elevation of phosphate content in the soil. A histogram indicated that the elevations were not normally distributed, which could suggest that they were caused by anthropogenic activities.

What is located on the bottom in the water outside of Birka? Remains of a water palisade or jetties and other constructions.Birka a Viking Age town that existed between AD 750 and 975 was located on the northwestern part of the small island of Björkö, in the Mälar archipelago of the Baltic Sea in Sweden. The Town was protected onshore by a Hill fort and a town rampart. It is a widely spread assumption that Birka had a water palisade as a part of its defense. There are logs and other remnants on the bottom of the lake dating back to the Viking age.

Following the accident at the nuclear power plant in Chernobyl in 1986, great volumes of137Cs were distributed over large parts of the former Soviet Union and Europe. Over Scotland,radiocaesium was deposited as wet deposition. Due to the relatively long physical half-life of30 years, there are still measurable activity concentrations in the natural environment. Thisstudy was made on two organic soils, Knockandy Hill and Rora Moss, situated in the easternpart of the central highlands of Scotland. At these two sites, studies on migration and transferbetween soil and plants were conducted.

Det här arbetet undersöker om heuristik i en algoritm kan förbättra optimeringen av postdistributionsnätverk. Som optimeringsalgoritm används Hill climbing och heuristiken appliceras på mutationsoperatorn. För att utvärdera mutationsoperatorn skapas en förenklad modell av ett postdistribueringsnätverk. Ett befintligt postdistribueringsnätverk används som utgångspunkt för den förenklade modellen för att snabbt kunna få en bra och realistisk modell. Resultaten av undersökningen indikerar på att den heuristiska mutationsoperatorn sänker tiden det tar att hitta en bra lösning jämfört med att använda en slumpmässig mutationsoperator..

The park at Svaneholm is a place, the history of which is very little known today and the needfor better knowledge has been the cause of this investigation. The essay is primarily limited tothe time from late 17th century up to the end of the 18th century and takes stand on profoundinvestigations in accessible map-and archive material. The results presented show a manorHill, which during the course of a hundred years was subject to several changes and in bigparts consisted in other than park/garden.Burman related to the manor Hill containing a cowshed, a large dam and a parterre garden isix quarters and it is plausible to think, that this establishment generally was built as producedon the plate.In the 18th century the construction is being changed, they go on building at the cowshed andin 1707 there are totally 268 livestock on the farm. In 1723 the garden is represented in amuch bigger scale than on the plate from the 1680:s, but it is not possible to tell, whether it isnew or not.Parts of the parterre garden is remaining during the whole of the 18th century, for the leastuntil it is being squared, but on two of the squares there was built a riding-groundMoreover the cowshed burnt down and was only partially reconstructed.The image given by the archive material is at the same time variegated. The inventory list ongarden tools from 1726 gives an image of gardening more directed to growing and pathshuffling, while the possibilities of keeping the parterres were fewer (e.g.

The ancient site of Skårby, situated about twenty kilometres south of Stockholm, includes one very large cairn enclosured by a stone wall with a small cairn attached to it. Cairns are originally thought of as graves, but resent research shows that they are more likely to have been religious objects. The constructions are seated on a small Hill with a view over the lake Bornsjön which used to be a bay of the lake Mälaren. This place has been the object of worship throughout the whole Bronze Age. Over the years the manifestation of the worship changed, but the place for it stayed the same..

Den 26 maj 1982 påbörjas anfallet mot samhällena Darwin och Goose Green. Anfallande styrka är brittiska, 2 Paras, på plats och försvarsgrupperade är Taskforce Mercedes. Britterna vinner slutligen över en numerärt överlägsen och försvarsgrupperad argentinsk styrka. Hur kommer det sig att detta kan ske? Jag kommer, för att kunna besvara mina frågeställningar, i det här självständiga arbetet att med utgång i de grundläggande förmågorna, ledning, verkan, skydd, rörlighet, uthållighet och und/info, analysera slaget.

Syfte: Målet med detta projekt var att implementera musklerna på de nedre extremiteterna, i den fullskaliga,virtuella humanmodellen (THUMS) i finita element-programmet LS-Dyna. Modellen ska kunna användas isimuleringar av pre-crash scenarior varför musklerna ska vara aktiva och generera krafter mycket nära verkligheten.Metod: Projektet fokuserade på de musklerna som styr flexion och extensionsrörelserna i knä- och höftleden.Musklerna modellerades som endimensionella Hill-element som syftar till att vara en god approximation avhur muskler fungerar. Varje muskel modellerades som minst ett Hill-element där muskler med större utbredningdelades upp i flera element för att förbättra approximationen med endimensionella element. För att fåalla muskler att dra åt rätt håll modifierades knä- och höftled. Muskeldata för hur mycket kraft musklernagenererar erhölls genom att skriva ett program i MATLAB som genererade kurvor för hur kraften varierarberoende på längd och hastighet (s.k.

This thesis concerns the Gotlandic Hill-forts (sw. fornborg) situated on a cliff or in an elevated position and which traditionally have been referred to as cliff-forts (sw. klintborg/höjdborg). The study derives from the notion that these monuments, diverse in size and shape, by archaeologists have been viewed and treated as a homogeneous category of ancient remains. The author?s key aim is to challenge this perception by identifying various subcategories from the 28 cliff-forts on the island.Ever since the archaeological discipline initiated the study of cliff-forts in the late 1800s and more or less to present day, the interpretations have been almost solely dominated by explanations of the military and defendable nature of them.

Det svenska samhället omvandlades under 1800-talet från hushållsbaserade marknadsekonomiska metoder till kapitalistiska marknadsekonomiska metoder. Parallellt med detta omvandlades och moderniserades den svenska eliten från att utgjorts av en jordägande aristokrati till att i stället utgöras av en förmögen högborgerlighet. Denna uppsats handlar om hur en representant ur den nya svenska eliten i form av Axel Adelswärd tänkte och handlade när han mötte ett USA på 1850-talet där den kapitalistiska marknadsekonomin hade slagit igenom. Jag vill också visa hur en omvandling skedde av en gammal elit till att inta ett nytt kapitalistisk marknadsekonomiskt tänkande..
