For a few decades, the wild boars are established over large areas in southern and centralSweden. Where they cause problems in terms of damage to crops in the agriculturelandscape, where rooting, browsing and trampling, but also damage to the crop when wildboars chosen daily rest in the cultivated fields. Along with the growing number of wildboars the rate of car accident with wild boars has also increased.Here I examined the daily rests of wild boar (Sus scrofa) sows in southern Sweden, todetermine the factors which the wild boars sows choose for daily rest. By determining whatfactors are important in this selection of daily rests, we may be able to make managementmeasures to reduce the damage wild boars make in the agriculture landscape by attractingthem to places where they do less economic damage and accidents on roads.In this study I have examined 123 daily rest positions from 14 different individual wildboar sows fitted with GPS collared in Southern Sweden, Skåne County in Christinehof,Högestad Kronovalls estate. Data was collared over the years 2004-2006 during the periodfrom June 1 to September 30.

This report discusses the development of lessons based on laborations for middle and high school.The purpose of the project was to research the possibility to affect students' attitude towards physicsthrough well-planned stimulating lessons. The lessons were based on the Light and Lasers OutreachKit, a teaching package made by the organisation Laser Classroom, and have been adapted for physicsin middle and high school. The lessons were developed on a pedagogical and didactical ground andwere improved with surveys and peer and self assessment. The lessons were based on laser light and itsproperties. One lesson covered the topic of single-slit diffraction, while the other treated geometricaloptics.

Kritiker anklagar ständigt Disney och deras verk då de hävdar att dessa innehåller stereotypa skildringar gällande bland annat genus och etnicitet, som i sin tur skapar negativ inverkan hos barn. Syftet med denna studie har därför fokus på att undersöka om Disneys sagor innehåller några stereotypa skildringar gällande könsroller, mansbild, kvinnobild, onda karaktärer samt raser/etnicitet och hur pass frekvent dessa i så fall förekommer. De problempreciseringar som studien tar sin utgångspunkt ur är: Förekommer det frekvent tydliga stereotypa skildringar i Disneys sagor, och i så fall vilka?, Hur skildras Disneys figurer då och nu, finns det några skillnader och/eller likheter? samt Hur påverkas barn av dessa, eventuella, stereotypa skildringar? Den empiriska forskningsdelen grundar sig på både en kvantitativ samt kvalitativ studie där slutligen 17 sagor, innehållande i huvudsak mänskligt skildrade karaktärer, från Disneys klassiker har granskats, dokumenterats och tolkats av oss. Studien har utmynnat i ett resultat där det tydligt framkommer att Disneys verk innehåller stereotypa skildringar av olika slag och att dessa, i stort, inte förändrats märkbart över tid.

January 1, 1999, a new sex purchase law was introduced in Sweden, Lag (1998: 408). The law implies that in a sex trade a crime is committed only by the consumer in the sex trade. The majority of consumers in prostitution are men and the suppliers are women. When prostitution is problematized it's usually from the woman's point of view and the perspective of the man is often overlooked. The new law has shed light on the consumer and made the male more visible in the public debate.

The purpose of this study was to compare normal electroretinographies (ERGs) from three different canine breeds in order to evaluate if there were any marked similarities or differences between these breeds as to ERG responses. It is known that healthy dogs from different breeds but also dogs within the same breed but in different age categories may have different appearances of their ERG responses. This may be a problem when evaluating if an ERG is normal or not from a dog within a breed not previously examined. Because of this it is important to obtain normal values for each breed and age group in order to be able to use these for later comparisons of ERGs obtained from individuals affected with various retinal diseases. In this study we have chosen to examine dogs within the three breeds: Labrador Retriever (LR), English Springer Spaniel (ESS) and Chinese Crested Dog (CCD). All of these breeds may be affected with hereditary retinal diseases such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (PRA). It is possible that ERG-responses vary due to a number of different factors.

The purpose of this thesis is to collect knowledge of techniques and materials for planning roofgardens. Gardens built on top of buildings is not a new phenomenon, already in the beginning of the century architects were experimenting with roofgardens. During the Modern Era roofgardens appeared as a part of the design and worked well together with flat roofs and the ideas of light, air and greenery. Today the most common kind of roofgarden is on a ground-level joist that hides parking or other underground functions. The most important difference between planning a roofgarden and a garden on the ground is the limitation of the load of the roofgarden. Plants, paving-material and equipment must be chosen with this in mind. A light and thin layer of soil demands plants with small needs for water and nutrition.

The effects of Reindeer mechanical damages on the planted regeneration of Pinus sylvestris and Pinus contorta. Semi-domesticated reindeer can damage young trees. In late winter reindeer rub their antlers against young trees. The aim of this study was to quantify those damages. This study covered planted objects from three different areas in northeastern Sweden.

SammanfattningBakgrund: Fotboll är världens största lagidrott med ca 240 miljoner utövare runtom i väldren. Av dessa 240 miljoner är ca 20 miljoner kvinnor och 80% av dessa kvinnor är ungdomar eller juniorer. Accelerationshastighet anses vara en av de viktigaste fysiska egenskaperna hos fotbollsspelare.Syfte: Syftet med denna studie var att designa, genomföra och utvärdera ett träningsprogram för unga fotbollsspelande tjejer med syfte att öka accelerationshastigheten.Metod: 22 stycken tjejer (14,61 ± 1,03 år, 50,33 ± 5,05 kg, 160,16 ± 3,04 cm) tillhörande 2 olika fotbollslag delades in i 2 grupper, en testgrupp (TG) (n=8) och en kontrollgrupp (KG) (n=14). Träningsmängden för båda grupperna var 3 pass/vecka i 12 veckor. Ett pass/vecka var designat i syfte att öka accelerationshastigheten för TG.

One of ABB Power Systems´s business areas is HVDC (High Voltage Direct Current) technology. HVDC is used for transmissions for both short and long distances. One of Power Systems?s products is called HVDC Light. HVDC Light is a relatively new technology for power transmission, but have before only been used for motor drives applications.

Det nya betygssystemet och betygssättningen från och med årskurs sex börjar tillämpas i full skala i den svenska grundskolan från och med läsåret 2012/13. Denna studie har som syfte att undersöka lärares uppfattningar om denna förändring under en period när den faktiska betygssättningen av sjätteklassare ännu inte har ägt rum. Fyra skolor och 38 lärare deltog i undersökningen. Det teoretiska ramverket var ursprungligen framför allt nyinstitutionellt men även teori och forskning kring betyg och bedömning tas upp. Under undersökningens gång dök det också upp andra intressanta fynd. Att arbetssättet för lärare redan har påverkats i så stor utsträckning var oväntat och att så pass många lärare ändå uttryckte att deras elever i sexan, eller ännu tidigare upplevde så pass mycket stress, var också något oväntat. Dessa fynd analyseras och diskuteras också. Sammanfattningsvis tonar det fram en ganska problemfylld bild av den tidigarelagda betygssättningen i denna undersökning.
