The objective of this work was to compare the environmentally gentle soil scarification technique Huminmix (with possibilities to do track-grinding/HMMspår, long-scraping/HMMlångfläck and mounding/HMMhög) with conventional disc trencher, concerning seedling establishment and growth of direct seeded and planted Scots pine seedlings. Inventories were made during June and July 2005, in 34 seeded and 6 planted stands from 2000 ? 2004 (1- 5 years old) of lichen- and myrtillus/vaccinum-type in Holmen Skog AB´s district Norsjö in Västerbotten. The Huminmix-technique had been used for HMMspår in the seeded stands and for HMMhög in the planted stands (HMMlångfläck has been used from the year 2006 for direct seeding). The studied stands had been seeded with the same amount of seeds according to stand data.

I Närke ligger Kumla stad, en liten stad med stor vilja att växa sig större. Som en del i den utvecklingen har man nu bestämt sig för att anlägga en stadspark, Kumla Sjöpark. Sjöparken ska vara en del i stadsutvecklingen och göra staden mer attraktiv för redan boende Kumlabor samt locka till nyinflyttningar. Parken började anläggas vintern 2009-2010 med grävningen av sjöarna. Ett förslag till parkens utformning är gjort av Rolf Pettersson, Landskapsarkitekt, WSP.

Kontinuitetsskog är ett brett begrepp som täcker in många olika skogstyper. Gemensamt för dessa skogstyper är att de ofta har eller kan utveckla höga naturvärden knutna till kontinuitet. Skogsstyrelsen har gjort en grov skattning av arealen kontinuitetsskog i Sverige och arealen bedöms vara mellan 1,7 och 1,8 miljoner hektar. Stora delar av denna areal är eller planeras att skyddas men en areal om 200 000 till 400 000 hektar kommer troligtvis inte att skyddas utan brukas i det moderna skogsbruket. Ett behov av utprövade metoder för bruk av kontinuitetsskogar har därför uppstått.

The goal of this work has been to search historical materials, to identify the park's historical development, to prepare proposals on measures and that work should be the basis for further research. The aim has been to train us in searching for and use of materials and to gain an understanding of the process of work with older plants. In the process we have sought and found materials in archives, through literary and oral sources, and email contacts. Because of its excellent location perched on an islet in the low landscape Näsbyholm was long a fortress. The old castle on Näsbyholm was from the late 1400s but the site was fortified much earlier. The islet was at this time completely surrounded by water and there was a drawbridge over the narrow waterline. The owners are liable since the late 1200s.

I denna studie analyseras skriftspråksutvecklingen hos sex elever i riskzonen för läs- och skrivsvårigheter. Syftet med studien är att klarlägga vilken roll specialpedagogiska insatser spelar för elevers skrift-språkliga utveckling. Har innehållet i stödet någon betydelse för elevernas utveckling och vad händer när stödet uteblir? Studien fokuserar på tidig kontra sen identifiering av elevernas läs- och skrivsvårigheter samt påföljande insatser. I detta sammanhang analyseras också hur dessa insatser påverkar elevernas självförtroende och motivation för skolarbetet.

Under senare år har intresset för ett alternativ till kalhyggesbruk vuxit sig starkare i både Sverige och andra länder i Europa. I Sverige ses skärmskogsbruk och blädning i granskogar som två högst intressanta alternativ till kalhyggesbruk. De båda alternativen utgör dock mycket komplexa skogsskötselsystem och kräver god kunskap och gott om tid för att lyckas. På fuktiga marker där det kan vara svårt att föryngra skog eller områden med höga naturvärden kan de dock utgöra ett mycket bra alternativ till det konventionella kalhyggesbruket. En högskärm av gran används ofta på fuktiga och känsliga marker där markberedning kan vara svår eller kostsam.

The subject of this project focuses on how Landscape Architects by their profession can explore and directly make a difference in the cityscape. This paper documents the process of art - based research practice. The purpose of installing temporary activities is to encourage people in the city to discover, participate and invite people to be more playful in the city. My experience of interaction in public spaces comes primarily from the education within landscape architecture, from site-specific art installations I have performed in different cities and from observations of landscape architecture, street art and urban life in the cities of Vienna, Berlin and Linköping. It is fascinating and inspiring to see how the urban space can invite and allow visitors to participate and therefore feel invited to the open space. As a landscape architect I wish to create urban spaces that are useful and inspiring for their visitors. The projects main question: How can you make temporary landscapes that encourage outdoorinspired activities at selected locations in the city? is answered by practice based research, an approach in which theoretical research are developed through practical experiments in the designing- and implementation process.

SUMMARYFor thousands of years horses have been at people's side. They have been used for transportation at war, to save time, manpower and money. For practical reason, man has forced the horses into narrow spaces. Stabling includes factors as feeding and bedding. In the boxes the bedding materials must be kept clean and maintain good hygiene.
