Det sĂ€gs att infanteriet vinner striden men artilleriet vinner kriget trots det har svenska armĂ©n kanske ett utav vĂ€rldens svagaste bataljonsunderstöd i sina slagkraftigaste bataljoner. Även om riksrevisionen konstaterat att granatkastare m/41 Ă€r förĂ„ldrad, icke effektiv och personalkrĂ€vande finns den fortfarande kvar i tjĂ€nst i Försvarsmakten.I arbetet kommer det genomföras en kvalitativ komparativ studie av granatkastare m/41, 2s4 och M224 utifrĂ„n de grundlĂ€ggande förmĂ„gorna.Undersökningen fann att granatkastare m/41 i vissa avseenden visar vissa tecken pĂ„ att vara omodern och relativt personalkrĂ€vande i jĂ€mförelse med 2s4 och M224. Undersökningen visar dĂ€remot Ă€ven att m/41 har en hög total effekt och full god kapacitet till verkan. .

Previous research in the area of leadership and stress has shown that the leader plays an important role but in what way is still an issue to explore. A qualitative approach was used in this study to develop an increased understanding of the leader's experience of stress using four themes; leadership, stress, control and organizational factors. A total of 12 semi-structured and un-structured interviews were carried out with 6 leaders, three females and three males. The data was transcribed and thematic as well as narrative analysis was conducted.The results indicates that leadership stress is caused by a lack of control and that factors intrinsic to the role as a leader both facilitates and complicates the leaders situation when facing stress..

This thesis was carried out to give some background information to a report of SLU (Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences) for the Swedish National Rail Administration (Banverket). The requested information was to provide basic data for an environmental impact assessment of the construction of the tunnel through HallandsÄs. The aim with the thesis work was to discuss and quantify the leaching of nitrate and the emission of nitrous oxide from the soil at the groundwater level established through the tunnel project. The nitrogen related processes that could be affected were described and discussed. The different areas where a decreased groundwater level can cause changes in the nitrogen processes are the wet and moist areas.

Due to excess precipitation that cause runoff, all soils in Sweden naturally leaches nitrogen.High leaching from arable land is an environmental problem when the runoff reacheswaters. In the international agreement, Baltic Sea Action Plan, the aim is to reduce therunoff of nutrients. Sweden has agreed to reduce its load of e.g. nitrogen to the Baltic Sea.One of the proposed measures is an increased use of site-specific N-fertilization, which hasbeen shown to increase nitrogen use efficiency and therefore also reduce the nitrogen runoff.Either yields are increased with the same total amount of nitrogen, or the total quantityof nitrogen is reduced with preserved yield levels, which is profitable for the farmers.The dynamics of nitrogen leaching differs between top dressing applications above orbelow the economical optimum. There is a consensus about a difference in the dynamics,but not about its magnitude.

This paper presents a study that evaluates the performance of stock recommendations issued on Swedish stocks during 2003. The selection of recommendations in this paper originates from banks, major brokerage firms and financial press located in Sweden. The total of 171 recommendations consisted of 99 buy recommendations and 72 sell recommendations. Forecast revisions presented in this paper suggest that Investment managers have no ability to predict performance winners, nor do their forecasts in general have any significant impact on stock prices. A mere 50 percent of the recommendations in this revision had a weak ability to outperform their benchmark indexes as in other similar revisions.

The paint market of today is a jungle whit an enormous range of different paint types; there all has different properties and different compositions, some with big influence on the environment and some whit less influence on the environment. It could even be difficult for an expert to always know what should be used on which surface and what would be the best out of the environmental point of view.This work is not intended as a total review of all the manufactures range of colours; only as a deeper dissertation about distemper paint in general, in particular Falu Red Paint. Whit focuses on the environmental issues.The work is especially for those who are ready to paint but don?t know what paint they should chose and people that has a interest in paint and environment, perhaps it also could be of interest for professional painters even when there probably isn?t any big news for them. The information is compiled from the Internet and downloaded brochures from the Internet..

Generally in Macedonia keeping farm records and farm business planning is not often practiced like an ordinary activity in farming. Therefore one of the crucial things to do it is to comprise and continuously practice record keeping of farm data. The efficient and justified farm business planning should be based on farm records about the previous work of the farm, which will bring a structured approach for planning all the activities, as well as provide a good basis for attracting investors and creditors for the additional expansion of the business.Given that sheep breeding holds an important part of the livestock production in Macedonia, there is a need for adding analytical sheep enterprise budgets to support the farm business planning process at sheep farms.The aim of this research was to develop sheep enterprise budgets created on the best production practice for Macedonian conditions of breeding and test their applicability into the farm business plan model Agriwise Macedonia. The sheep budgets were composed with a process of data collecting consisted of direct farm data (for the cases), expert's consultation and relevant desk research, as well as a literature study. The aim of doing it was to attain more accurate calculations of the enterprise budgets, which will result in a more precise outcome in the farm business plan model Agriwise Macedonia.

Studien undersökte om det fanns nÄgot samband mellan Ärstid och resultat pÄ ett antal test för fertilitetsfaktorer. Att försöka förutse ett handjurs fertilitet Àr komplext, inte minst dÄ spermieegenskaperna skiljer sig Ät mellan hingstar och Àven mellan ejakulat frÄn samma hingst. Det finns mÄnga funktioner som mÄste analyseras för att sÀkert bedöma en oprövad hingsts fruktsamhet. Forskningen pÄ omrÄdet Àr begrÀnsad och bestÄr ofta av studier med litet underlag eller retrospektiva studier dÀr skötselfaktorer och stoegenskaper kan inverka. Som fertilitetsmÄtt anvÀnds ofta drÀktighetsprocent men detta vÀrde krÀver stort underlag för att kompensera för eventuella fertilitetsstörningar hos de ston som anvÀnds och eventuell bristande gynekologisk diagnostik. Mer kontrollerade studier som fortfarande Àr representativa för populationen Àr svÄra att genomföra dÄ det Àr svÄrt att standardisera levnadsförhÄllanden för sporthÀstar.

Most studies regarding wolf (Canis lupus) predation on moose (Alces alces) have focused on the total annual consumption of moose within a wolf territory but few have tried to describe the spatial impact of wolf predation on a local scale. In this study I have analyzed wolf movement data, wolf predation, moose hunting statistics and moose hunter observations to investigate how wolf predation affects the human harvest of moose in Scandinavia. Since wolves prey on mostly juvenile moose during summer, analysis of their summer movement patterns is crucial to understand its impact on the human harvest later during autumn. In this study both reproducing (n = 45) and non-reproducing wolves (n = 12) reduced their movement range during summer to 66% and 67% of their annual movement range, respectively. Reproducing wolves increased their movement range from early to late summer while non reproducing wolves did not.

Sammanfattning Titel: LÄgkonjunktur ? En studie i vilka skillnader som finns för variationen i antal anstÀllda inom IT- respektive industribranschen Författare: Emilio Nilsson, Oscar Kacprzak Handledare: Emil Numminen Institution: Blekinge Tekniska Högskola Kurs: Kandidatarbete i Företagsekonomi Syfte: Syftet med uppsatsen Àr att undersöka och analysera för hur företagets ekonomiska data för den relativt unga IT-sektorn förklarar antal anstÀllda gentemot hur företagets ekonomiska data förklarar nyckeltalet för en Àldre mer erfaren bransch som industrisektorn. Metod: Vi har samlat ihop kvartalsrapporter frÄn 1999 Ärs första kvartal till 2009 Ärs första kvartal för totalt 10 stycken företag som vi bedömt lÀmpliga för studien, 5 företag frÄn IT-branschen samt 5 företag frÄn industribranschen. Vi har dÀrefter fört regressionsanalyser med antal anstÀllda som Y-variabel och totala intÀkter, aktienivÄ, rörelsekostnader samt rörelseresultat som X-variabler för att finna korrelationen dÀremellan. Slutsats: De framkomna resultaten frÄn regressionsanalyserna pekar pÄ att det finns skillnader branscherna emellan.

Pine twisting rust (Melampsora pinitorqua) is a parasitic rust fungus found all across Sweden causing damage resulting in lower quality and reduced tree growth in pine stands. In Sweden, the fungus is dependent on two alternate hosts; European aspen (Populus tremula) and Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris). Pine twisting rust has five different spore stages, two of them (uredinio- and teliospores) on the leaves of aspen. Injures on aspen caused by pine twisting rust is not extensive. On the other hand, when it infects the annual shoots of Scots pine it often results in a bent steam or even a top shoot breakage.

The purpose of this thesis is to ascertain the main determinable factors of Swedish SMEs capital structure decisions and to investigate whether existing capital structure theories are applicable on Swedish SME financing. We have used panel data to run regressions of various capital structure determinants on three measures of capital structure; short- term debt, long-term debt and total debt. We found that growth opportunities, profitability and age are the most important capitalstructures determinants for our sample. Firm size shows a small explanatory result but the effective tax rate and the asset tangibility do not seem to explain the capital structure at all. Thematurity matching principle is considered significant..
