Iskvalitet i ishallar. En tillämpningsstudie i Åby ishall
I en ishall ägnar man sig åt olika aktiviteter; konståkning, ishockey, curling men även ren rekreationsåkning. Vid alla dessa aktiviteter används isen på olika sätt och detta ställer därför olika krav på hur isen bör vara. Hockeyspelare och curlingspelare föredrar en hård is, medan konståkare istället föredrar en mjukare is. För vanliga fritidsåkare duger även en ännu mjukare is än för konståkare.En litteraturstudie har genomförts för att belysa hur en bra iskvalitet på ishallen kan uppnås och hur en ishall bör utformas med dess tekniska system för att skapa bra förutsättningar för en tillfredsställande iskvalité och vistelsemiljö. Till de tekniska systemen som beskrivits hör kylmaskinen med dess köldbärare och distributionsrör i ispisten, ventilationsaggregatet med återluftsföring och avfuktningsaggregatet i ishallen.Huvudsyftet med detta examensarbete var att studera iskvaliteten i en ishall och hur denna påverkas av det omgivande lufttillståndet i hallen.
Jaktens betydelse för Södermanlands landskap : Hur viltvård kan påverka variationen av lövträd och buskar
The fragmentation and reduction of deciduous forests in Sweden is threatening many species. Particularity worrying is the loss of broad-leaf trees, since a diversity of species is often associated to them. Today many deciduous trees are situated along the border between forested and open areas, and these small fragments can be important for biodiversity.The aim of this study is to analyze if wildlife management can affect the variation of deciduous trees and bushes in the landscape. In brochures and literature Svenska Jägareförbundet (the Swedish Association for Hunting and Wildlife Management) recommend hunters and landowners to promote deciduous trees ? often broad-leaf trees ? as wildlife management measures, while the Swedish forestry laws can be sensed as unclear regarding the treatment of these trees.Five properties in Södermanland, Sweden, were chosen as study areas and inventoried in respect of trees and bushes in September 2013.
Factors affecting crop insurance decision : a survey among Swedish farmers
Farmers are constantly facing changes, and the exposure to risk requires monitoring these changes. Financial risks, institutional risks, market risks and production risks are the different risk categories that the farmers face. Production risks stems from factors the farmer cannot affect or is beyond his control. The crop?s output is the basis for the primary income of agricultural operations, which is why it is important for farmer to manage their production risk.
A tool to reduce the consequences of production risks is crop insurance.
Riktlinjer för modellering av reaktorkylpumpar i TRACE
Examensarbetet är utfört vid Ringhals AB och riktar in sig på reaktorkylpumparna på reaktor tre vid Ringhals kärnkraftverk (R3). R3an är en tryckvattenreaktor och reaktorkylpumparna är vertikala enstegs centrifugalpumpar som tillverkats av Westinghouse.Bakgrunden till detta examensarbete är att Vattenfall AB vill öka kunskapen inom modellering av LOCA (Loss-of-coolant Accident) och har startat ett projekt för modelleringen av detta i den termohydrauliska koden TRACE. En viktig del i modelleringen av LOCA är hur reaktorkylpumparna beter sig när dom får hantera ett tvåfasflöde och då främst hur försvagad deras pumpförmåga blir.För att kunna göra en korrekt modell av pumparna i TRACE behövs pumpkurvor för samtliga pumpregimer för både enfasflöde och fullt försvagat tvåfasflöde samt en kurva för hur pumpen reagerar på olika ånghalter. För de pumpar som finns på R3 finns bara kurvor för fyra pumpregimer för enfasflöde, så i dagsläget är det svårt att göra korrekta analyser av pumpförmågan.Syftet med arbetet är att få fördjupad förståelse hur reaktorkylpumparna beter sig vid ett tvåfasflöde och hur detta på bästa sätt kan modelleras för R3s pumpar och målet är att analysera och ge modelleringsförslag på bästa sättet att modellera reaktorkylpumparna i samband med tvåfasflöde.Examensarbetet har delats upp i två delar. En litteraturstudie för att utreda vilka pumpdata som skall användas för att på bästa sätt efterlikna pumparna på R3 och vad som gör att pumparna försvagas.
Timmersorteringens inverkan på sågverksekonomin :
Modern sawmills are using the raw-material and the production-capacity more efficiently
today, due to rising raw-material prices and higher production costs. Log sweepness has a
negative effect on the sawn yield, for sawmills with straight-sawing. It is desirable that these logs could be sorted based on more criteria, if it increases value-yield and consequently the utilization of raw-material.
Bow-heights over 1 cm have a negative effect on sawn yield, since the surface of the
mantle cuts down in the sawn pattern. Some of these small bow-heights reduce the logs yield of value which affects the production planning negatively. Nearly half of all the Swedish logs have a bow-height over 1 cm.
Riskbedömning vid Saltvikens kopparverk
AbstractAt Saltvikens copperindustry, which is located in the municipality of Oskarshamn, copper was refined from sulphiteore some hundred years ago. The ore underwent several steps in the process before the final product was received. These steps all had an influence on the environment through discharge of heavy metals. The area where the copper industry was located is today considered to be of specific national interest due to its valuable nature and cultural values, as well as its value for recreational outdoor activities. Therefore, it is important to determine the present level of contamination and if any transport of contaminants have occurred, and to identify the risks that are associated with the site both at present and in a longer time perspective.Thirtynine soil samples and 16 sediment samples have been analyzed.
Frigörelse av fosfor från färskt, fryst och torkat växtmaterial : ett laboratorieförsök för att öka förståelsen för fosfordynamiken inom växtodlingen
Phosphorus is the single most potent contributor to eutrophication of freshwater and has also been shown to contribute to the toxic algae blooms in the Baltic sea. The
dynamics and paths of losses of phosphorus from arable lands are not fully understood.
It is known that phosphorus can be lost directly from plant material to water.
In studies where plant material has been subjected to several freeze-thaw cycles, large amounts of phosphorus have been lost. Most studies have been conducted
under field conditions, with many factors effecting the measured losses of phosphorus, such as weather and type of soil. This study was performed in a controlled environment without the presence of soil. Instead of soil, small glass beads were mixed with the plant materials in vessels, to make possible homogeneous leaching with water through the mixture of glass beads and plant materials.
In this study, clover, ryegrass and dry straw were cut to pieces, approximately 2 cm long.
Webbutiker ? Hur hanteras frånvaron av det fysiska rummet för kommunikation?
Online shopping is growing and its turnover increases each year. Internet hastherefore become an important retail location for companies. Web shops lack thephysical room for marketing as well as face-to-face interaction between customer andsalesperson. Therefore there is a need to develop marketing and customercommunication methods for this way of shopping. In physical shops the customer hasthe ability to try on the garments and be pampered by the staff.
Prefabricerade Passivhus
European Union has made a new decision that all new built houses by 2020 shallbe near-zero energy houses. Boverket?s definition of near-zero energy housesintends buildings with good energy performance in which a proportion of theamount of energy that must be added to the building is made of renewable energy.Passive House is a set of requirements from FEBY designed to build energyefficient buildings. This is achieved by reducing loss of heat through the buildingenvelope and to take advantage of the passive heat from solar radiation,installation and heat sources like people living in the house.This project has been made with help of Anebyhus and one of their model houseshave been examined from the report?s issues, including Anebyhus?s energyperformance, requirements for the manufacturing and assembly, how theenvelope must be improved to fulfill the requirements for the Passive House andwhat energy calculation programs are available on the market.The report aims to provide solutions for energy efficient houses that are adaptedfor production of house building.Two visits to Anebyhus has been done to study their manufacture and assemblyof building elements.
Privata skogsägares inställning till frivilliga naturvårdsavsättningar samt kvalitets- och tillväxthöjande skogsskötselåtgärder :
The business mission of Norra Skogsägarna is to achieve a profitable forestry for the private forest owners. With this as a background it is of interest for the forest owner association to know how forest owners think about voluntary retentions, the methods of increasing production and quality and if there are differences between those who have chosen to certify their forest and those who haven?t. This kind of knowledge is of importance, to in an effectively and adjusted way, help the forest owners achieve a profitable forestry.
The objective of this master thesis is to increase knowledge about private forest owners? opinions of the methods of increasing production and quality and to what extent these methods are used.
Effekter av en idrottspsykologisk utbildningsintervention för friidrottstränare : med fokus på tränares förhållningssätt och ungdomars motivation och upplevelse av tävlingsnervositet
Abstract Aim: Since there is a lack of research based educational interventions concerning the relationship between coaches and young athletes, the aim of this study was to implement and examine the effects of sport psychology intervention for coaches in a track and field club. The research questions were: What are the effects of an educational intervention for coaches, with focus on a motivational climate, on: A) the coaches´ coaching approach B) their athletes´ goal orientation and C) their athletes´ perceived competitive anxiety?Method: The coach education stretched over two months and consisted of four two-hour lessons with focus on motivational climate, goal orientation and sport anxiety. Six coaches (three females, three males), aged 38-52 (M=44.33 years, SD=4.84) and their 59 athletes (27 males and 32 females) aged 12-14 (M=13.10 years, SD=0.82), participated in the study. A control group of 35 athletes (10 males and 25 females), of the same age (M=13.46 years, SD=0.70) and with similar demographic data, was also recruited.
"Medan detta nya fruktansvärda hände i Kramfors, stod mamma i köket och putsade prästgårdssilvret" : hushållssysslor som hemmets rumsliga praktiker. Thorvall, Johansson och Sandberg
This thesis is a study of spatial practice and literary depictions of homes in novels by Elsie Johansson, Kerstin Thorvall and Kristina Sandberg. The theoretical perspective is based on Henri Lefebvre´s view on social space, and on the concept of spatial practice. Research questions are: What homes are depicted? How does spatial practice function in the texts? How does the depictedspatial practice relate to norms and ideals?The novels, published 1993-2014, depict an interesting period in Swedish history (cirka 1920-1970) when politics and society at large was deeply involved in reshaping the homes and lives of Swedish citizens. The aim was to turn the citizens into new, healthy and rational parts of the new and rational society.
Alla vill beta men ingen vill bränna : skogshistoria inom Särna-Idre besparingsskog i nordvästra Dalarna
In this work I have tried to reconstruct the forest history within Särna-Idre forest common in northern Dalarna from the 19th century until present time.
The Särna-Idre region has been an extensively used landscape for a long time. Pollen which indicates grazing has been found in samples orginating from the 10th century. Early travellers from the 18th and 19th centuries seem to have been passing trough a "used" landscape. Burned forests on naked ground are described as common. Also large areas are mentioned as undisturbed with lots of large trees, snags and dead wood.
Ersättning för lidande enligt frihetsberövandelagen : En analys av hur grunden för frihetsberövandet påverkar ersättningens bestämmande
The purpose of this study is to investigate a group of female converters and their subsequent experiences when transitioning to islam by bearing hijab. The study analyzes how this religious conversion has shaped and influenced the identity of mentioned women, as well as their attitude and relationship to the social environment prior to and after converting. This means that in accordance with the purpose of this study, an attempt to reveal the everyday life of these women will be performed. In order to make this study possible, three different methods will be put to use. A narrative method that touches upon the time leading up to and after the final converting and the impact of the conversion.
