SCA has today almost 300 000 hectares of their forest land planted with lodgepole pine(Pinus contorta var. latifolia). Due to initial extensive planting in the 1970ies the area oflodgepole pine forests in the thinning age has grown rapidly from the end of the 1990ies.During the years 1996-2005 first commercial thinning of lodgepole pine at SCA took place.The goal of the hereby presented study was to investigate the growth and stability in thosefirstly-thinned lodgepole pine stands a few years after thinning. Furthermore, the objectivewas to investigate the relationship between stand stability and different stand parameters.Additionally, lodgepole pine stem quality was estimated.The study is mainly based on the data collected during an inventory project carried out atSCA in 2008. Altogether 91 lodgepole pine stands in northern Sweden were measured afterthe first thinning.

The following report describes an exploratory work about Furillen,an island that belongs to the area Rute, in northern Gotland. Theproject is a result of a selection of texts taken from the author ClasEngström - my grandfather. He wrote, among other things, about theinhabitants of Rute and their experience and ways of dealing with thedevelopment of their society. Through the use of graphic design I havetried to update the content of some of these texts.Much have changed since my grandfather wrote about Rute, whichgave me further reason to update the topic.In addition to the research, I looked at graphic design?s importancefor interpreting the literary content.

I mina intervjuer visade det sig att samtliga personer utom två inte var rädda för döden. Arlebrink skriver om psykologiska försvarsmekanismer och förnekande. Att döden inte kommer att drabba just mig, är ett exempel på en sådan mekanism.Det är tydligt att vi ser olika på döden beroende på vilken generation vi tillhör men också beroende på vilken erfarenhet vi har av att vara nära döden. Den yngsta intervjupersonen säger att ju yngre vi är desto odödligare tror vi att vi är. Hon tror också att oron blir större när man fått barn, en tankegång som Arlebrink skriver om.

Vattendrag och stränder graderades under 1700-1800-talet mycket lågt (impediment) då marken inte var odlingsbar. Samma mark är idag eftertraktad av människor för fritids- eller permanentboende i en lugn miljö. Problem kan idag uppstå vid gränssättningen av strandfastigheter som nybildas. Problemen är vanligen kopplade till var gränserna verkligen är belägna och var fastighetsägarna anser att gränserna borde vara belägna. För att bestämma var gränserna går måste lantmätaren gå tillbaka till ursprungshandlingarna för stamfastigheten och utföra en grundlig arkivforskning.Syftet är att undersöka hur gränssättningen utförs idag.

Allén förklaras som en väg eller gata med planterade träd på båda sidor, vanligen i enkla rader men även flerdubbla led. Allén är en anläggning som innehåller minst 7 träd.?Alléerna anlades förr ofta för att genom hamling ge bonden djurfoder och bränsle?Alléerna anlades för att hindra jordflykt på skånska slätten.?Alléerna anlades för att ge en park eller ett slott en gedigen och praktfull utsmyckning som i sin tur visade makt och rikedom på 1600-1700-talet.?Alléerna anlades för att rama in vägen och ge resande en linje att hålla sig till vid dålig sikt men också att ge skugga och återhämtning för resande. Det kunde vara i en hälsopark på 1800-talet eller då man färdades på landsvägen med häst och vagn.?Alléerna anlades som en tydlig in/utfartslinje till en stad. Det har tydligt framkommit i litteraturen att allén delas upp i landsvägsalléer och parkalléer.

In central Jönköping, on Munksjöns northern waterside a shopping centre will be built, on the block Atollen. The construction will begin in autumn of 2007 and will be finished according to plan in 2009. Atollens goal is to counteract the competition from external retailers and strengthen the retail trade in the city centre, leading to more attractive and competitive city centre.Atollen will not be a shopping centre in traditional style and design, it will be focused on shopping and experience. The shopping centre shall be a natural venue with a wide and exclusive store mix, concentrated against trend conscious customers. This will be created with the help of a futuristic design and architecture, with light, open and transparent spaces.

Promoters are genetic elements that facilitate the transcription of a gene and they have been found in front of non-coding RNA (ncRNA) genes in different organ-isms, e.g. the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana. A similar element, DUSE, has been found in front of ncRNAs in the social amoeba Dictyostelium discoideum and a part of this project has been to analyze the function of this putative promoter element through cloning and expression studies. A construct to analyze the func-tion of DUSE was successfully designed and introduced into D. discoideum but full expression studies were not finished because of shortage of time.

The pathogenic fungus Rhizoctonia solani causes major economic losses for potato producers in Sweden. The producers, as well as advisors, have reported possible increases in severity of R. solani when free-living plant parasitic nematodes are present and active. There are several examples in the literature of interactions between pathogens where one, or both species, support or increase the damage made by the other organism. These complexes are important to investigate and to be able to forecast, since even low incidences of fungi or nematodes may result in an interaction of significance.

Background: Domestic violence is a major social problem both nationally and internationally. Around the world 35% of the women say that they have experienced physical and/or sexual violence. In most cases it is the woman's partner who subjected her to violence. Every year, 12,000 -14,000 women in Sweden seek medical help as a result of injury incurred of domestic violence. The healthcare in Sweden has a responsibility when it comes to detecting, treating and documenting, but also to prevent violence and its consequences.Aim: To examine the extent to which nurses and midwives asking women about domestic violence, barriers for asking the question and making visible steps to increase the ability to ask the question.Method: A literature review, were included articles reviewed and quality determined.

Magnesium is an essential mineral that is important for several physiologic and biochemical processes in the body. Deficiency of magnesium is mainly associated with grass tetany, but can also appear in cows during the indoor period. Since long it is known that potassium has a negative effect on the absorption of magnesium. Due to the fact that potassium fertilisation leads to a higher potassium content in forage, it is of interest to study interactions of potassium on the magnesium balance in dairy cows. There are few studies about magnesium feeding to dairy cows in Sweden and the purpose of this study was to investigate how much magnesium and from which feed-sources dairy cows in Sweden get their magnesium. Data was collected from seven farms in the northern part of Uppland and from seven farms in Skaraborg in Sweden.

With this essay we want to describe the transformation process that the real estate owner has to go through to sell the current rented flats to tenant. We also want to provide an understanding how the valuation is performed in the transformation process and highlight the issues that affects the price in the valuations. In the essay we would like to see if the valuation and the transformation process differ in a public real estate company compared to a private real estate company. Based on this we have asked us the following question to answer: -Is there any differences in how real estate?s are valued in the transformation process between public real estate companies and private real estate companies? We have used a qualitative approach to keep our main question.

?En del tycker att den fria företagsamheten är en tiger som borde skjutas, andra menar att den är en ko som ska mjölkas, i själva verket är det hästen som drar hela lasset?. ?Den fria företagsamheten, mitt och ditt engagemang, och alla människors engagemang är ju det som gör att samhället utvecklas?.*Det är vad denna uppsats handlar om, företag och deras möjligheter att bli framgångsrika. Det finns inget givet recept eller sätt för ett företag att lyckas, utan för några går det bra och för andra mindre bra.

Målet med uppsatsen var att utforska och resonera kring hur en parkanläggning, i detta fall Stowe Landscape Gardens i Buckinghamshire, England, kan få en viss betydelse och värderas högt av eftervärlden. Frågorna som uppsatsen utgått från är: - Vad är Stowe? - Hur beskrivs Stowe? - Vilken betydelse har Stowe och varför? Stowe verkar vara betydelsefull för landskapsarkitekter att känna till, och uppsatsen kan komma att utgöra ett underlag för en diskussion kring hur olika anläggningar framställs i trädgårdshistorien, och hur man som landskapsarkitekt kan förhålla sig till det. Genom litteraturstudier och en intervju med Barry Smith, Head Gardener på Stowe, har en undersökning av hur Stowe omnämns i olika typer av litteratur genomförts, för att se hur Stowe representeras. Uppslagsverk, undervisningslitteratur för landskapsarkitekt-programmet på SLU Alnarp, litteratur från The National Trust (organisationen som äger och förvaltar Stowe idag1) och resonerande trädgårdskonstteori har utgjort underlags-material. Resultatet i tabellsammanställningen tyder på att Stowe har en stor betydelse i träd-gårdshistorien, eftersom den anses vara mycket tidstypisk för landskapsparkernas tids-period, med stöd av de studerade källorna.
