HÀstar har transporterats lÀngre strÀckor i Ärhundraden, först med bÄt och tÄg och dÀrefter pÄ vÀg och med flyg. Antalet hÀstar som transporteras pÄ vÀg har ökat i takt med att antalet hÀsttÀvlingar har ökat. Syftet med denna litteraturstudie var att ta reda pÄ vad som kan göras för att förhindra och ÄtgÀrda de störningar som kan uppkomma i vÀtske- och saltbalansen i samband med transport genom bland annat utfodring och bra rutiner. I studien ingÄr Àven en presentation av gÀllande regler för transport av hÀst. Hur hÀsten ska transporteras Àr reglerat i djurskyddslagen (SJVFS 2000:133). Transporttiden fÄr högst vara Ätta timmar dÀrefter mÄste hÀsten vila.

 We have chosen to write our thesis within a transport company. The work was carried out at DHL activities in Uppsala. DHL is one of the leading transport companies worldwide. Our interest lies in more efficient and advanced transportation and terminals, as globalization and new trends require effective solutions.The aim of our work is to explain the need for information technology applications in road haulage and associated terminal operations. Furthermore, we analyses terminal and applied information technology.

In Sweden, there an increasing need for transport and this leads directly to fuel demand of the transport sector is expected to increase. Both politicians and industry believes that renewable fuels are a realistic and significant method to reduce the transport sector's environmental impact. This study aims to document the Swedish haulage contractor?s attitude to biodiesel. Also to document the strengths and weaknesses of biodiesel, based on opinions from the ultimate consumers.

En patentlicens Àr en nyttjanderÀtt till patent som ofta, liksom patent, kan representera stora ekonomiska vÀrden. En patenthavare kan nyttja det vÀrde ett patent representerar som sÀkerhetsunderlag för en kredit genom att pantsÀtta patentet. Huruvida en patentlicens kan pantsÀttas, i vart fall med sakrÀttsligt giltig verkan, Àr dock oklart eftersom lagstiftning pÄ omrÄdet saknas och Àmnet berörts mycket sparsamt i doktrin. Syftet med denna uppsats har dÀrför varit att utreda om, och under vilka förutsÀttningar, en patentlicens kan pantsÀttas med obligationsrÀttslig och sakrÀttslig giltig verkan. Jag har kommit fram till att en pantsÀttning av en patentlicens kan bli obligationsrÀttsligt giltig utan nÄgra större svÄrigheter.

The Swedish Transport Agency has for a long time collected data on a monthly basis for different variables that are used to make predictions, short projections as well as longer projections. They have used SAS for producing statistical models in air transport. The model with the largest value of coefficient of determination is the method that has been used for a long time. The Swedish Transport Agency felt it was time for an evaluation of their models and methods of how projections is estimated, they would also explore the possibilities to use different, completely new models for forecasting air travel. This Bachelor thesis examines how the Holt-Winters method does compare with SARIMA, error terms such as RMSE, MAPE, R2, AIC and BIC  will be compared between the methods. The results which have been produced showing that there may be a risk that the Holt-Winters models adepts a bit too well in a few variables in which Holt-Winters method has been adapted.

The stability of railway embankment is essential for safe transport. In order to ensure safe transport, water should be allowed to freely drain. Furthermore, as the engine driver has to be able to see signs, and people working on the embankment are supposed to easily see flaws on the rails to ensure safety for the passing trains, plants should not be allowed to grow on the embankment. In Sweden there are 12 000 kilometers of railway tracks and 25?30 % of them are treated for weed control every year.

At the end of 70s and the beginning of 80s, 18 terminals was built and used for chipping wood residue from clear cuttings. Most of the terminals was terminated before the 2000s but with the high oil- and energy prices that we can see today there might be a place for these terminals again. The goal with the study was to analyze and compare economical differences between 5 different logistical systems, collected data was used with a set of formulas. The systems include long range transport of slash, chips and bundles. Three of the systems include transport by lorry to industry the last two includes a terminal with access to train transport.

Generally, the economic health of Swedish roundwood truck transport companies has not been good. Profitability is important for maintaining the stability in the transport business, which is a condition for long-term transport planning in the forestry sector. The scope of this study was to identify probable factors influencing the profitability of roundwood truck transport companies and quantify the influence of these factors on economic results. The study was carried out at a major roundwood truck transport organisation in mid-Sweden and was implemented in four steps. In the first step economic results from the haulage contractors were collected and a random sample was taken from accounted net margin for the account year 2005/2006. In the second step hauliers were interviewed to identify probable success factors. At the third step data for identified factors were gathered through a questionnaire.

Transportation of pigs might be a welfare problem. Stress during and after transportation can negatively affect the meat quality or cause carcass damages, which leads to major economic losses every year. The transportation chain can be divided into several stages; loading, transport and unloading. This literature review focuses on unloading of pigs from a transport. When arriving at an abattoir pigs can be fatigued and need to be as smoothly unloaded as possible.

This study was made for the round wood transport company MT Transport AB. Time studies were made in order to analyze time consumption on the mill site for timber trucks delivering round wood at the Södra Cell Mörrum mill. The most interesting was to see how much of the time spent at the factory that was waiting time. In three weeks the study was going on and the drivers were clocking it themselves..

Den hÀr uppsatsen innehÄller en undersökning av skillnader mellan tidningarna Bulletinen och Allt om Mat som Àr inriktad pÄ hur texter ur tidningarna ger upphov till ideologiska effekter och skapar modellÀsare. Den analysmetod som tillÀmpas Àr en ideologikritisk analys. Efter genomförd analys kan undersökningen konstatera att de bÄda tidningarna ger upphov till ideologier som i relation till konsumtionskulturen skiljer dem Ät. Samtidigt framtrÀder ett flertal likheter mellan de bÄda texternas sprÄkliga verkan som kan kopplas till intertextualitet och gemensamma diskurser..

Transportation represents 10-15 % of wood supply costs. It is therefore important to improve efficiency in the transport system to decrease these costs. The aim of this study is to map the timber vehicle routing processes used by a sample of timber hauling contractors and to identify possible links between the vehicle routing process and service and economic variables. The study was carried out at Södra Skog in autumn 2008. 15 timber hauling contractors were sampled and interviewed about their work with timber transports.

Stressful routines for animal handling can reduce immune function and productivity of animals. If stakeholders are handling animals aversively, animals will show increased expressions of fear for humans and higher stress levels which lead to the compromise of animals? welfare. In Ethiopia, there are no legislations to protect animals from suffering or discomfort. The main objective of this study was therefore to analyse welfare of cattle on animal markets in Ethiopia and map out supply chains of animals to these markets.
