This paper studies the fragmentation and reuse of early christian monuments ("eskilstunakistor") in churches in Östergötland during the medieval period. This is found to have been done in two stages. The first stage shows a collectivization of society. Within religion the change from ancestoral cult towards the saints' cult is important as the fragments are reused like relics. During the second stage the collectivization has been fulfilled, and the reuse is instead part of the christian churches' strategy for incorporating old powerful symbols from the landscape into their own church building..

 Saab Microwave Systems (SMW) is a business unit within Saab AB that manufactures and develops different types of radar- and sensor systems for naval, airborne and ground based forces as well as within the market for civil security. In addition to the manufacturing of radar and sensor systems they also provide different types of service concepts. The business unit has 50 years of experience within the area of developing radar systems and is considered to be one of the market leaders. When applying an assemble-to-order production strategy with products at this level of cost price the product lead-time is vital and becomes an important part of the strategy within marketing and sales. Within SMW there is a new department called Supply Management (SM) that provides the supply of incoming and outgoing material. Within SM there are four sub-departments working with activities such as planning, purchasing, receiving inspection, storage and distribution.

The dry period is usually 6-8 weeks and in this period the basis of the performance in the following lactation is settled. In an average herd about 15% of the cows are dry (Marcussen & Krog Laursen, 2008). In many herd the dry cows are set aside, that means setting aside 15% of your herd, at the time when they are preparing for their next lactation. The recommendation for number of groups differs depending on country traditions or reasons for grouping. If you look at recommendation for feeding, some companies selling feeding equipment advocates one group throughout the dry period, but the number differs from one to three.

According to the Swedish strategy for forest protection, additionally 40 000 ha productive forestland will be protected in the county of Västerbotten, between 1999 and 2010. A national project was carried out to distinguish the proportion of forest with a high biological value, in all counties. The project resulted in demarcation of small landscape areas or small ?biological value regions? (bvr), with higher concentrations of forests with conservation values and red listed species than the surroundings. In Västerbotten, 26 such bvr?s were identified and the Counties Agency and Forest Agency in Västerbotten developed a regional strategy for forest conservation to standardize the forest protection process.

Background and problem: In the last few years the threat against the environment and especially the emissions of carbon dioxide has become increasingly debated. The government have set up a goal to lower the emissions of carbon dioxide with 40 percent until 2020 compared to the level in 1990. The emissions in the transportation sector have, in contrast to the total emissions, increased since 1990 and will continue to increase unless powerful control measures are implemented. The lorry centres have to use strategies to answer to these external threats which lead us to the two questions of this thesis: - What methods do the lorry centres use actively and which do they consider as the most important methods for fuel saving? - Are there any differences which methods small, medium and large centres considers as important? Purpose: The main purpose of this thesis is to examine which methods lorry centres use actively and which they consider as important for fuel saving.

There are reasons to believe that recent changes in the Swedish academic library environment create new images of identity. New information technology, changed educational methods and increasing numbers of students in higher education heavily influence the professional basis for librarians. The purpose of this essay is to examine and describe how the images of identity are conceived and expressed by staff in two university colleges in Sweden, Malmö University and Södertörn University. We define identity as the images of what the library is, what it is aiming to be in the future, what it should do and how. In a qualitative study attitudes towards and opinions of the role of the library in the university environment are investigated.

Den omfattande miljöpåverkan som elproduktion bidrar till, har lett till starka påtryckningarfrån beslutsfattare organisationer och allmänhet att successivt övergå till förnybaraenergikällor vid produktion av el. Ett koncept som på senare år fått allt mer uppmärksamhet iSverige är att elanvändarna utöver att energieffektivisera och handla grön el deltar i dennaomställning genom att själva småskaligt producera förnybar el. Småskalig elproduktion i formav sol- och vindkraft har dock haft svårt att etablera sig på elmarknaden på grund av ettstorskaligt produktionssystem med få och stora aktörer. Detta gör att småskaligtegenproducerad el, som innebär en ny marknadsstruktur, uppfattas som en innovation av bådeenergibolag och elanvändare. Vid anammandet av en innovation är användarens attityd tillinnovationen helt avgörande, vilket innebär att elanvändarnas attityd till småskaligegenproducerad el spelar en central roll i den framtida spridningen av konceptet.Traditionellt sätt har småhusägare utgjort den typiska målgruppen för småskalig elproduktion,men i och med denna uppsats uppmärksammar författarna fastighetsbranschens roll ispridningen av konceptet.

Den här rapporten avhandlar arbetet med att ta fram ett förslag som förlänger Volvos kärnvärden - kvalitet, säkerhet och miljöhänsyn, ut i Utvecklingsverkstaden på Volvo Construction Equipment, Hauler Loader Business Line, i Eskilstuna. Förslaget är utformat som ett koncept, som ska kunna överföras till andra verkstadsmiljöer på Volvo, om så önskas. Idéförslaget har baserats på en studie av den befintliga Utvecklingsversktaden. En modell av verkstaden i skala 1:50 utformades som presentationsmedium.Vid examensarbetets slut har förslaget presenterats och utvärderats av målgruppen. Den primära målgruppen har varit de anställda på avdelningen.Slutsatserna av arbetet är att en informationsbärande interiör kan formges för att representera ett företags kärnvärden och visa på innovation och framtidstänk.

Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka hur miljöarbetet ser ut i två tillverkningsföretag och ett grossistföretag. Studien tar sin utgångspunkt i respektive företags miljöansvarigas definition av miljöarbete. Målet med undersökningen är ta reda på vilken strategi respektive företag har avseende miljöarbetet. Studien är gjord i samarbete med Interpares, en frivilligkedja samt inköpsorganisation av byggmaterial, som valt ut tre av företagets leverantörer till den här studien. Studien bygger på ett antal kvalitativa intervjuer med personer som har nyckelroller avseende miljöarbetet på de tre företagen: Festool, Thomée och Nordsjö. Resultatet av undersökningen visar att företagens miljöarbete har olika kännetecken och att de går att dela in i tre miljöstrategier.

Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka ifall formell utbildning bidrar till utveckling av lärandemiljö. Ett sekundärt syfte med detta arbete är att undersöka ifall innovations möjligheter ökar under befintlig lärandemiljöer.För att uppnå undersökningens syfte gjordes en enkätundersökning som besvarades av de inblandade företagens medarbetare. Målgruppen var anställda med olika poster inom de fem olika företagen. Kartläggning har genomförts med hjälp av tre olika enkäter som innehöll olika frågor som bland annat tog upp; företagsfakta, könsfördelning, kompetensutveckling, organisation, yrkesutveckling, förändringsarbete, utbildning och lärandemiljö.Studien framför även mer allmänna kortfattad information rörande EU projekt Sala Industrier samt övergripande beskrivning av deltagande företagen till exempel företagens storlek, arbetsuppgifter, spetskompetens och personalfakta. Därefter introduceras en teoretisk referensram där lärande, kompetensutveckling, information och kommunikation, formell och informell kunskap diskuteras som centrala tema i berörda organisationer, exempelvis redogörs i studien för olika drivkrafter mot ökad kompetensutveckling och lärande.Utifrån den teoretiska referensramen och en större datainsamling som genomfördes i form av enkäter och intervjuer, där förekom frågor som tog upp bl.a.
