When Norway spruce is planted with large initial spacing and grows on highly productive sites in southern Sweden, a high proportion of the stems gets broad annual rings. The thinning programme carried out at the estate of Trolleholm aims to extract stems with too broad ring width. The 3-4 first thinnings are carried out as thinning from above, where only the thickest trees are removed. The internal distance may not fall below 5-7 meters depending on the number of thinning (short distance in young stands). The aim of this study was to examine the thinning model that is carried out at the estate of Trolleholm. A volume table is calculated to describe the model, and data is collected on temporary plots.

This study's main objective was to identify adolescents participation in alternative sport activities and which kind of physical activity that was preferred by adolescents who didn't had any earlier experience of sport clubs. The study combined interviews and surveys with the purpose to get both adolescents and sport leaders perspective. A total of five interviews were performed and fifty-four surveys was collected. The results showed that adolescents already physical active were those who participated in alternative sport activities. Who participate in alternative sport activities can depend on habitus, comprehended capital forms and in which social field the sport activities exists..

District heating covers around 80 % of the heating demand in apartment buildings and 10 % in single-family homes in Sweden. In the year 2010 the total input of energy to the Swedish district heating grids was about 70 TWh, which corresponds to 11 % of the total energy input to the whole energy system in the country. Through the combined production of heat and power the CHP-plants often reaches an efficiency of 90 % from energy in the fuel to produced heat and power. In order to keep the efficiency high it is important for the owners of the plant to have good knowledge about the plants performance at different operation points. StrÀngnÀs Energi AB initiated this diploma work together with FVB Sverige ab in order to come up with a program for short term planning of the production of heat and power at the companyŽs CHP-plant.The work consists of three main parts.

HÄllbar turism anses frÀmst vara smÄskalig och naturnÀra och ses gÀrna ur ett lokalt perspektiv. Kvalitet pÄ turism anses ocksÄ den vara kopplad till den lokala ?naturliga? miljön pÄ platsen varför det pÄstÄs att den lokala synen pÄ kvalitet förstÀrker den hÄllbara turismens lokala förankring. Principer för TQM kan möjligen bidra till ett förbÀttrat arbete med hÄllbar turism bland annat genom dess fokusering pÄ processer, engagemang, allas delaktighet och stÀndiga förbÀttringar..

AimThe purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between physical strain and recovery in dancers at The Ballet Academy in Stockholm, Sweden. Research questions used to guide the study were: How great is the dancers experience of physical strain? Do any of the dancers show mental or physical signs of overtraining syndrome?MethodPhysical strain was studied by letting the dancers fill out a booklet catloging their intensity during practice. Utilizing a questionnaire, data was gathered regarding preceding year. To give more nuance to the data gathered, The Profile of Mood States was used to detect possible mood disturbance.

Deicing fluids based on Propylene glycol are used at Stockholm Arlanda airport to remove or prevent ice on aircrafts. The high oxygen demand of propylene glycol can cause oxygen depletion in rivers downstream from the airport if not collected. Mass balance calculations made by Swedavia indicate that the actual amount of gathered propylene glycol is underestimated. Suspicions that propylene glycol is degraded in the stormwatersystem designed to collect deicingfluids, called the B-glycolsystem, have to be investigated in order to establish with certainty that no propylene glycol in other ways leaves the B-glycol system.The purpose of this study was to determine if degradation of propylene glycol is present in the B-glycol system and also to estimate the extent of the degradation. Propylene glycols high biological oxygen demand can cause oxygen depletion in waters downstream from Stockholm Arlanda airport if not collected.

Tidigare forskning kring utomhuspedagogik studerar i stor utstrÀckning fördelar och nackdelar. I denna studie lyfts frÄgor om hur förskollÀrare nyttjar tiden och miljön i utomhusvistelsen. Studien jÀmför hur mycket tid det lÀggs pÄ planerade pedagogiska aktiviteter utomhus jÀmfört med hur mycket total utomhusvistelse förskolorna har. VÄr upplevelse Àr att nÀstan all tid man vistas utomhus Àr förlagd till fri lek och orsakerna till detta Àr nÄgot vi undersöker i denna studie. Fyra förskolor medverkar i studien och enskilda intervjuer har gjorts med Ätta utbildade förskollÀrare.Studien visar att miljön har betydelse för hur mycket lÀrandetid det Àr som lÀggs utomhus.

The study will examine whether marketsurveys measuring consumer?s attitudes, is a good method for predicting a purchasing decisionsregarding certified coffee.Method: To study consumer attitudes towards certified coffee, we have implemented a web-basedsurvey at Facebook. A total of 108 responses were recorded. To complement the Facebook study wehave conducted three surveys on persons who are customers at ICA.

Horses are by nature herbivores, specialized on grass, and graze during the main part of the day. The horse has neither changed this basic behaviour nor the function of gastro-intestinal tract, when the horse was domesticated by man. A horse on pasture has an even production of saliva and gastric acids. The buffering effect of the saliva makes the pH in the stomach above four throughout most of the day. With abnormal long breaks of eating, the pH may decrease, causing an increased risk of gastric ulcer.

De flesta individer pa?verkas dagligen av belo?ningar, motivation och ra?ttvisa i sa?va?l privatlivet som arbetslivet. Uppsatsens syfte har varit att underso?ka hur belo?ningar pa?verkar medarbetares, mellanchefers och ho?gre chefers arbetsmotivation inom en specifik organisation. Syftet har a?ven varit att underso?ka eventuella skillnader mellan olika organisatoriska niva?er och om upplevd ra?ttvisa a?r viktigt fo?r motivationen.Inom omra?det finns en mycket omfattande och variationsrik kunskapsbas.

Den svenska skolan innefattar i dagens globaliserade samha?lle elever fra?n alla va?rldens ho?rn och i den svenska grundskolan talas det idag cirka 200 olika spra?k. Mitt intresse fo?r skolan ligger framfo?rallt i hur skolan ska kunna anpassa sig efter en alltmer globaliserad va?rld da?r olika spra?k, kulturer och kunskaper ma?ste samsas och hitta en gemensam grund att sta? pa?. Men fra?gan a?r om synen pa? spra?k och kunskap ha?nger med i globaliseringstanken eller om kunskapen fortfarande i stor utstra?ckning a?r kopplat till vad vi i Sverige anser vara den ?ra?tta? kunskapen.

I Sverige a?r fo?ra?ldrar och elever sedan bo?rjan pa? nittiotalet fria att sja?lva va?lja vilken skola de vill. I vilken utstra?ckning det fria skolvalet utnyttjas skiljer sig emellertid mellan olika samha?llsgrupper. Enligt tidigare forskning verkar ho?g socioekonomisk status och utbildningsniva? vara en bidragande faktor bakom ett aktivt skolvalsdeltagande.
