Att ha en relativt låg personalomsättning är en väldigt viktig del av ett företags välmående, i ett säsongsbaserat turistföretag är det i mångt och mycket en grundpelare för fortsatt framgång. För att lyckas med att skapa en lägre personalomsättning måste företagens avdelningar arbeta mot samma mål. Ett steg i framgången är att fokusera sina strategiska val på rekryteringen och upplärningsprocessen för de nyanställda. Dock kan inte företag nöja sig med att göra långsiktiga planer för dessa delar utan måste även fokusera på personalens trivsel och välbefinnande på arbetsplatsen, det är detta som skapar en lägre personalomsättning i en långsiktig plan.Personalomsättning i stort är ett relativt välutforskat område och det har eskalerat sedan mitten på 1990-talet. Forskarna har kommit fram till att det är bra med en låg personalomsättning men vad som inte kommit fram är hur företag praktiskt ska göra för att minska den.

Water is a vital element and also enriches the experience of landscapes. It is naturally in constant movement and change but also exposed to the hands of man. In this paper two stretches of water is described through landscape and time in correlation between development and the experience of the watercourse Höje-å in the rural parts of southern Sweden. The intention is to investigate how Höje-å has changed over time and also how it is experienced in the surrounding landscape. With the help of literary studies the history of Höje-å have been described and through the course of field-studies the experience of two different areas along the watercourse.The biggest changes of Höje-å and its surrounding area have taken part during the last two centuries.

Evaluations of open Ditch status and function, with an assessment of suitability of a conversion to a two stage ditch as a low maintenance alternative. To illustrate Swedish drainage problems this work focused on two agricultural drainage associations assessed in detail with a new method called MADRAS (Minnesota Agricultural Ditch Reach Assessment for Stability). With the assessment of the MADRAS method estimates were made to conclude the ditches operating problems. This was made through measurements of sediment depths, mass bank failures etc. in order to quantify ditch problems and propose practical actions for improved ditch stability and water quality. The MADRAS surveys were conducted in two main ditches that drains 2900 hectares of land on the northern shores of Mälaren. In the study measurements of the ditch cross-sections were also conducted to compare actual profiles with the original map profiles. The evaluation showed that parts of the studied ditch sections were operatively poor; main reason was mass bank failure, undercut channel banks, sediment aggregations and narrowed ditches. The profile survey shows that a majority of the profiles 80 % has sediment accumulations there remains only 64 % of the original profile from the map.

The cattle production in the world has been questioned in Sweden due to its negative impacts on the environment. The use of imported soya bean meal as a protein feed for Swedish cattle results in the cutting of rainforest and an extensive use of pesticides in the countries were the soya beans are produced. As a consequence, the environmental impacts caused by cattle production increases. A production of protein feeds in Sweden would decrease the transportations and the cutting of rainforest. For organic beef producers the possibility to produce home-grown protein feeds is important since organic protein feeds can be difficult to obtain in another way.

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Kvävebelastningen på sjöar och hav har ökat markant de senaste tiotal åren. Jordbruket stårför ca 50 % av de svenska kväveutsläppen som människan bidrar till. En ökadkvävebelastning på haven kan leda till övergödning, vilket får en stor negativ effekt påvattenekosystemen. Ett sätt att minska övergödningsproblematiken är att öka vattnetsuppehållstid i landskapet genom att anlägga nya eller restaurera gamla våtmarker ijordbruksintensiva områden som t ex. Halland och Skåne.

The business mission of Norra Skogsägarna is to achieve a profitable forestry for the private forest owners. With this as a background it is of interest for the forest owner association to know how forest owners think about voluntary retentions, the methods of increasing production and quality and if there are differences between those who have chosen to certify their forest and those who haven?t. This kind of knowledge is of importance, to in an effectively and adjusted way, help the forest owners achieve a profitable forestry. The objective of this master thesis is to increase knowledge about private forest owners? opinions of the methods of increasing production and quality and to what extent these methods are used.
