Water logistics has long been a problem in order to effectively carry out stump treatment in both thinning and final felling. It is important that the stump treatment? equipment is configured as well as a sufficient amount of water is carried out on the harvester to get a cost? effective treatment. The flow control of the equipment has improved and water can be dispensed more efficient, but still the amount of water on the machine is a crucial factor in the total cost estimate. The knowledge of the tools available to bring water as well as the internal logistics of loading and transport to the felling site is deficient. Increased focus on "smart" solutions to manage water cost is of great importance in order to combat Hetrobasidion spp in both thinning and final felling. The purpose of the study is to describe and summarize different solutions of water logistics at stump treatment in final felling.

Östers IF var fram till 1988 föreningen som aldrig hade Ă„kt ur en serie och samlat pĂ„ sig fyra SM-guld och ett cup-guld. Idag Ă€r det föreningen som tvĂ„ gĂ„nger under 2000-talet har Ă„kt raka vĂ€gen frĂ„n Allsvenskan till division 1 pĂ„ tvĂ„ sĂ€songer. I denna studie, vars syfte Ă€r att utvĂ€rdera Östers IF och dess seniorverksamhet, har vi velat skapa en övergripande bild av hur föreningens kultur, organisation och identitet har pĂ„verkats av seniorverksamhetens sportsliga resultat genom Ă„ren. Vi har Ă€ven velat se vilka effekter detta har gett för föreningens strĂ€van efter att Ă„terigen stabilisera sig som ett svenskt elitfotbollslag. Vi har i vĂ„rt arbete anvĂ€nt oss av en kvalitativ studie med semistrukturerade intervjuer som metod.Resultatet visar att Östers IF under en lĂ„ng tid har verkat utan en röd trĂ„d och kontinuitet har saknats inom föreningen bĂ„de hos den administrativa organisationen och inom den sportsliga verksamheten. Det har gjort att Östers IF idag Ă€r en förening som kĂ€mpar med att hitta sin identitet. Det Ă€r oklart vad föreningen stĂ„r för och vilken vĂ€g den vill ta för att nĂ„ tillbaka till elitfotbollen.

Different methods for shelterwood cutting have been used in differ-ent parts of Europe since the middle ages. The use of shelter wood cutting in Norway spruce (Picea abies (L.) Karst.) forests in Sweden met a revival in the early 1990s as an alternative for the dominating clear-cutting system when silvicultural costs increased dramatically for the latter. Shelterwood cutting systems involve some possible problems but also a lot of positive effects. Among the problems are increased risk of wind throw and damage of the remaining shelter trees caused by the cutting operation. Positive effects are for example a valuable growth in the remaining trees and increased biological di-versity. This study is based on a total of 79 trees from 4 different treatments in a spruce shelterwood, cut in 1994, in the middle of Sweden (62,4Âș N).

För att möta vÀxande regioners efterfrÄgan pÄ bostÀder har förtÀtning i kollektivtrafiknÀra lÀgen lyfts fram som fördelaktigt ur hÄllbarhetssynpunkt. I Göteborgsregionen har sÀrskilt fokus lagts pÄ förtÀtning av orter lÀngs med de större kollektivtrafikstrÄken. I takt med att förtÀtning sker kan ocksÄ bilden av dessa orter förÀndras. Denna uppsats syftar till att under-söka mÀnniskors uppfattning av platsen efter en förtÀtning i en sÄdan ort. I en fallstudie har en förtÀtning av stationssamhÀllet Ytterby strax utanför Göteborg studerats.

Giannini presents women as confident individuals while the man is represented as feminized and androgynous in his appearance. .

In this report female farmers use of technical equipment is investigated. There is little research made on this subject in Sweden, therefore this report can be seen as an explorative study. Research makes it clear that machinery, throughout history and even today, has been seen as a male area. Heavy machines are often associated with the same attributes as masculinity. Force, power, efficiency and control are some examples.

The purpose of the study is to analyse the representations of Jewish festivals and how they affect the teaching in three textbooks for Religious Education 1 in Secondary Upper Education. The textbooks are Religion och livet (2007) written by Börge Ring, Religionskunskap för gymnasiet (2009) written by Lars-Göran Alm and Religion 1 för gymnasiet (2012) written by Lennart Göth, Katarina Lycken RĂŒter and Veronica Wirström. The basis for the study is the phenomenological perspective as described by Émile Durkheim and in particular Carl-Henrik Grenholm and Karl-Johan Illman. It tells that religion cannot purely be understood as a religious belief without its rituals. This phenomenological perspective on religion both the curriculum and syllabus encourages.
