Forestry and reindeer husbandry are entitled to use the same land for their operations. For this reason, conflicts occasionally arise between them. Soil scarification is a forestry operation which has a negative effect on the occurrence of reindeer lichen. Reindeer lichens are of crucial importance to reindeers and reindeer husbandry, especially in the winter when reindeers primarily feed on different lichen species (Cladina spp. and Cetraria spp.).

There are five endemic populations of migratory Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar, Salmonidae) and brown trout (Salmo trutta, Salmonidae) remaining in Lake Vänern, whereof two are salmon and three are trout. There is one population of each species in Klarälven, also one of each in Gullspångsälven and there is a population of trout still remaining in Tidan River. Since the beginning of the 20th century endemic populations of salmon and trout have either vanished or declined dramatically due to the construction of hydropower in the rivers around the lake, and still today the future of the remaining populations remains uncertain. To manage salmonid fishes effectively more knowledge of their ecology throughout their different life-stages is needed. A large part of the Lake Vänern salmonoids lives are spent in the lake, where a mayor mortality factor is recreational fishing, especially angling.

Mitt syfte är att undersöka och förstå hur man hanterar kulturell och etnisk mångfald inom den kommunala äldreomsorgen som organisation. Speciellt de problem som eventuellt kan uppstå när människor på grund av sin kultur eller sin religion har referensramar som går stick i stäv med organisationens riktlinjer. Mina frågeställningar är: Hur hanteras mångfaldsfrågor i organisationen? Vilka erfarenheter har man av konflikter som uppstått mellan organisationens riktlinjer och en personal eller arbetssökande som på grund av sin kultur eller religion haft andra referensramar samt hur har man hanterat dem när de uppstått?Metoden är kvalitativ intervjumetod. Jag har intervjuat fyra enhetschefer och två chefer högre upp i organisationshierarkin för att få reda på deras syn på mångfaldsfrågor och deras erfarenheter av krockar mellan personal/arbetssökandes referensramar och organisationens riktlinjer.

Social media provides a new position of power to the single individual within PR and marketing campaigns. When a company uses social media as a communication tool in their PR and marketing practice, they have to adapt themselves after the customers' needs and the new communication structure within social media. Communication in social medi is different from traditional media, which is more one-way communicative and visual in its interaction, rather than the digital media that are more two-way communicative av viral through dialogue. If a company creates PR and marketing campaigns within social media without adjusting to the new rules of communication through dialogue, and instead try to apply traditional one-way communication to their social campaigns, they put themselves and their brands in risk of public humiliation and loss of customers; the speed of the viral dialogue over social media can spread bad news fast, and with the newfound power of the single individual, the impliacations can thus be devastating for a company and its brand. If an organization does not respond and take part of the criticism that may be directed at them through the customers' comments, the negative dialogue among clients and the public within social media can quickly create a hazard enviorment for a company and its brand to be seen in. The public within these social media platforms are more independent and continuously conversing with each other on a local an global scale.

De flesta industrier har någon typ av kylsystem som betjänar industriella processer och komfortkyla. Funktion och effektivitet på systemen varierar och när kylproblematik uppstår på anläggningen kan anledningarna vara flera. Kylproblematiken kan bero på bristande kylkapacitet, felaktigt injusterade köldbärarflöden eller underdimensionering av distributionssystem samt cirkulationspump.Detta examensarbete har utförts i samarbete med Stora Enso Skoghall och syftet med studien är att kartlägga och analysera deras kylsystems kapacitet, både sett till producerad kyleffekt och möjligheter till distribution på anläggningen. Genom en ökad kännedom av systemets funktion kan optimeringsförslag arbetas fram för att minska risken för kylproblematik och kostsam produktionsbegränsning. Då distributionssystemet är äldre och påbyggt i etapper finns misstankar om att det även finns möjligheter att med modern teknik få systemet att bli mer energieffektivt.

Today we are living in a time were impulses from other places and cultures constantly grow and the contact over the boundary is getting bigger. We se satellites pictures over the world, we hear about worldwide ecological problems, we learn about other different lifestyles, we cock food that are inspired from the worlds many kitchens, we shop more and we can travel to different parts of the world. My problem was to find out how cultural phenomenon spreads to a greater extent global and how this transference take place, but also be able to se what factors that has a part in the cultural spread.What I found with help from my literature study was that trough improved communication and transports has gained mobility in the world and people can take part off others culture.The world is shrinking and this means that human beings identity is changing and this create a so-called hybrid mixture. Culture is what we human beings create. Culture can be seen as a community phenomenon for the most parts.

About 80 % of all Swedish dairy cows are kept in tie-stalls, but loose housing is increasing, probably because it is more profitable for the farmer. The design of the floors is of cruicial importance to the cows well-being. Traditionally, the most common type of floor in the alleys of a cubicle system still is a slatted manure-draining floor made of concrete. The typical Swedish design has 125-mm slats and 40-mm slots, maximally. With too wide slots, there is an increased risk of injuries to the claws when the cow makes a hasty move.

Att säga att man har ?en nationalitet? är för många något man känner när man är född i och har vuxit upp i ett land. Men hur kan det vara om man av någon anledning tvingats lämna sitt hemland? Hur är det att inte känna sig hemma i sitt värdland, men att heller inte känna sig hemma i det land man en gång tvingats lämna? Hur är det att befinna sig i ett mellanrum? Jag har valt att undersöka ett material som jag själv har filmat från Kosovo sommaren 2005. Jag har också analyserat en intervju jag gjorde tillsammans med Nexhat, våren 2006.

Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a complex, often lifelong allergic disease affecting around 10 % of both dogs and humans. The hallmark symptom is severe pruritus, causing a lowered quality of life. Mast cells (MCs) are known to play an important part of the immunopathogenesis, promoting a faulty T helper cell type 2 (Th-2) response which follows by a production of specific immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies towards environmental allergens (Ag). To further investigate the role of MCs and its mediators in the progression of AD, a low-calcemic vitamin D3 analog (MC903) was used to induce AD-like symptoms locally on the ears of two different knock-out (KO) mouse strains. The first strain was Wsh-/- mice deficient in MCs.

Studiens övergripande syfte är att undersöka institutionen folkskolans syn på finska krigsbarn i Alvestabygden åren 1941-1945.Utifrån en strukturalistisk institutionsteori analyseras folkskolans behandling av de finska krigsbarnen, såsom det ger sig uttryck i källmaterialet. Källmaterialet består av examenskataloger från 30 folkskolor och material från Hjälpkommittén för Finlands barns arkiv.Folkskolans syn på krigsbarnen är intressant då folkskolan är den stora offentliga socialisationsagenten. Under perioden behöll fortfarande den Herbartska pedagogiken sitt grepp om skolan. De Herbartska idéerna fick tillsammans med en auktoritär skolkultur som resultat en skola med en disciplinerande funktion.En av studiens frågeställningar grundar sig på Bergs teori om utbildningssociologiska funktioner. Skolans funktioner är enligt den att reproducera en kunskapsbas/samhällsstruktur, kvalificera/sortera barnen för vuxenlivet, socialisera dem och förvara dem.Ur de 30 folkskolornas cirka 400 examenskataloger har 51 examenskataloger med spår av misstänkta krigsbarn sorterats ut.

Outdoor housing of horses? best fulfils the horses? need for physical activity and it is an alternative to the more cost and energy demanding indoor housing in stables. Furthermore, if outdoor housed horses have access to shelter they can generally cope well with adverse weather conditions such as high or low ambient temperature, heavy rain or strong winds. In this study, the daytime shelter-seeking behaviour of three groups of horses housed outdoors was studied during the summer. The aim was to evaluate whether shelter use is related to weather variables (e.g., ambient temperature and wind speed) and insect harassment. The shelter-seeking behaviour was studied for three different groups of horses: Group 1) eight individually housed horses in paddocks that had access to three different shelter types (C: closed on three sides with roof, R: open on three sides with roof, W: closed on three sides without roof), Group 2) 25 group housed mares with foals on pasture with access to shelters C, and Group 3) ten mares without foals on pasture without access to shelter. Each group was studied for eight days.

In this project, we are studying the material flow and the information flow of sample materials and the appurtenant report of deviation for the purpose to be able to suggest better solutions. The sample material, which is to be analysed, is to be continuously taken from the production flow. The purpose is to navigate the process by the results found by the analysis. Because of this, it's very important that both methods of analysis are ensured and that the sample material is representative for the production flow. However, even more importantly, is that activities and transportations, combined with both flows, must perform in a quick and correct way in order to maintain or improve Höganäs AB's competitive strength.According to reports are about 20 products per day not available, for loading, at the time of delivery.

Whiplash is a bodily injury, where the person that is injured is subjected to force towards the neck, mainly in traffic accidents. Even low speed accidents can cause severe damage due to the complicated muscle and nerve structure of the neck. Symptoms range from neck aches and headaches to numb fingers and this makes the Whiplash injury difficult to diagnose. Whiplash is also a treacherous injury due to the fact that the symptoms can not be objectively verified. The principal symptom of the injury is pain, which is to its nature highly subjective.

Since the late 50th century, the automobile has been normative in the Swedish society (Lundin 2008). This has led to an urban environment deeply characterized by the motor vehicle and its necessities, while other means of transportation, such as train and bicycle, have been ignored and put aside. However, over the past decades, a new trend has been seen in urban planning as a consequence of the increasing knowledge of the negative qualities caused by the car. As a result, the bicycle is seen as a conceivable transport mode.This thesis examines cycling on four issues:- Why is there a need of more cyclists? - How can the total number of cyclists as well as the number of satisfied cyclists increase? - Which factors affect the choice of transport mode? - Which factors affect the choice of route?The first two questions are discussed from a literature study that was conducted at the beginning of the thesis.

Eftersom det pågår en migration av människor till olika länder är integrationsarbetet alltid aktuellt. Anledningen till att det är viktigt med integrationsarbete är att det finns tendenser att personer med utländsk bakgrund inte har samma möjligheter och rättigheter i samhället. För att uppnå integration måste politiker på lokal nivå skapa olika åtgärder för att det ska bli möjligt. Undersökningen har studerat en sådan åtgärd och beskrivit vad som påverkat dess utformning. Åtgärden som studerats är Göteborgs Stads styrkort för integration och det är ett balanserat styrkort och kom i användning i stadens verksamheter i och med Göteborgs Stads budget 2011.
