Syftet med den här uppsatsen är att undersöka hur Dalregementets militärers giftermålsmönster såg ut under tidsperioden 1650?1799, samt hur dessa påverkades av externa omständigheter som krig, social status och förändrade försörjningsmöjligheter. Den teoretiska grunden har hämtats utifrån tidigare forskning om det västeuropeiska äktenskapsmönstret och olika samhällsgruppers äktenskapsstrategier. En demografisk studie av 221 giftermål har sammanställts från källmaterialet Dalregementets personhistoria I och II.Resultatet av detta har visat att Dalregementets befäls sammanlagda medelålder under tidsperioden 1650?1799 var vid första äktenskapet 31,1 för män och 25,8 för deras makor.

Modern forestry management may disadvantage some mykorrhiza forming fungi because; they are dependent on late successions and cannot survive the constantly recurring breaks in the continuity of their host tree. For this study the specie goliatmusseron (Tricholoma matsutake) was chosen to investigate this possibility. In Sweden T. matsutake is found in greatest amounts north of Örnsköldsvik on glacifluvial sandy soils in association with pine trees and reindeer lichens. Seventy two forest stands where the specie previously had been found were studied; 62 in the northern part of Sweden and ten in the southern. Several indicators were studied to find out if these stands have had a continuity of living trees.

Gunnebo House and Gardens was designed during the late 18th century by architect Carl Wilhelm Carlberg as a summer residence for the wealthy merchant John Hall Sr. and his family. The garden consists of formal garden, kitchen garden and English park. For the first two parts several original drawings have been preserved and here a lot of restoration work has been carried out. This paper aims to examine how the English park might have been implemented during John Hall Sr.?s time and to create a plant scheme for the area called ?Engelska kullen? (The English hill).

High-performance equine athletes have an energy requirement that often reaches twice the maintenance requirement. Horses are grazers and adapted to a grass diet, and diets high in grains and concentrates are associated with digestive upsets and behavioural disorders. It could therefore be of interest if the energy requirement of a high-performing horse could be met by forage. It is important that the forage have a high concentration of energy so that the horse is able to consume the whole amount of energy needed from the forage without exceeding the maximum voluntary intake. The purpose of this literature study was to investigate if the energy demand of a high-performance horse can be covered by forage produced under Northern Swedish climate conditions.

Syftet med denna uppsats är att med fokus på uppförandepraxis undersöka satserna ?Cujus animam gementem? och ?Vidit suum dulce natum? ur Giovanni Felice Sances och Giovanni Battista Pergolesis Stabat Mater och ta reda på hur de två tonsättarna utryckte samma textliga innehåll i ett recitativ respektive en aria. Under arbetets gång har jag fördjupat mig i den sakrala musikens utveckling i 16- och 1700-talets Italien för att sedan göra en analys som omfattar olika musikaliska och interpretatoriska verktyg. De slutsatser som jag kommer fram till är att den sakrala vokala musiken i 1600-talets Italien uttrycker dramatik med hjälp av text och den vokala sakrala musiken i 1700-talets Italien utrycker dramatik med hjälp av röstens musikaliska möjligheter. Arbetet resulterade i en inspelning av styckena på Musikhochschule für Künste i Bremen, Tyskland och på Musikhögskolan i Piteå, Sverige..

Convective snowbands is a weather phenomenon that is associated with heavy snowfall in a limited area. They are formed over ice-free parts of e.g. the Baltic Sea when there is a cold easterly airflow over relatively warm water. These convective snowbands can cause large amounts of snow along the Swedish east coast, often causing traffic hazards. Sometimes they can even paralyze an entire community.  In this study, convective snowbands that have formed over the Baltic Sea during the period 1980-2009 are examined, in order to find out how often they occur, what place they are most common and in what month they usually appear.

 The purpose of this essay is to study the republican and socialist Northern Ireland political party Sinn Féin and to examine its legitimacy in the eyes of the citizens of Northern Ireland. Is it possible to have a political agenda that includes violence and still maintain legitimacy? The Irish Republican Army?s (IRA) military struggle was for a long time a part of the party?s political agenda. This strategy has been described as to have a ballot paper in one hand and an Armalite in the other, and successfully made Sinn Féin one of the province?s largest political parties.

Acidification is a central concept in the environmental debate. The effect of acidification of the soil is a matter of a decreasing amount of cations and thereby a decreasing ability to resist a supply of hydrogen ions to the soil. Acidification has gradually increased in the O horizon in Västerbotten over a 30-year period from the 1970th to the 1990th. The aim of this study was from inventories of The Swedish National Forest Soil Survey and The Swedish National Forest Inventory explain and quantify the acidification that has occurred in the O horizon of two regions in the north of Sweden. Data from SMHI, The Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute, has also been used.

Syftet med uppsatsen är att analysera hur olika näringsområden i Nås socken, under perioden 1744-1764, skapade olika mönster i föräktenskaplig sexualitet och sedlighet. Materialet som undersökningen grundar sig på är domstolsprotokoll, lysnings- och vigselböcker och födelse- och dopböcker, för Nås socken och Säfsnäs församling. De undersökta områdena är Nås finnmark, vilken befolkades vid en senare tid än det andra undersökningsområdet, Nås svenskbygd, som bestod av självägande små¬bönder vilka varit boende i området under en mycket längre tid än finnmarkens in¬vånare. Resultatet uppvisar en högre frekvens av sedlighetsbrott i finnmarksområdet. Kvinnorna på finnmarken hade även oftare haft föräktenskapliga förbindelser, vilket har visat sig genom att de oftare hade ett utomäktenskapligt barn vid giftermålet.
