Effektivare traktordemonstrationer : femtio lantbruksföretag svarar

The background to this paper is the fact that many products are demonstrated to show the consumer value of the product. This is generally the fact when it comes to agricultural products, such as tractors. The growing number of models makes this even more import for the retailer to perform a demonstration that really catches the interest of a prospect customer. One problem is that these demonstrations are expensive and many small retailers have difficulties to afford demonstrations of every model. Together with Åhmans Traktorcentrum AB a market investigation was conducted. The company has its primary sales area in the region of Östergötland and north part of Småland. Åhmans Traktorcentrum AB is a John Deere dealer.

A literature study on Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus pseudintermedius (MRSP) : classification, resistance mechanisms, risk factors and clonal distribution

The increased frequency of reported Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus pseudintermedius (MRSP) is of great concern to small animal healthcare due to limited options of antimicrobial therapy. The aim of this literature study is to investigate 1) characteristics and classification of S. pseudintermedius, 2) resistance mechanisms and emergence of MRSP, 3) risk factors for selection of MRSP, and 4) clonal distribution around the world. S. pseudintermedius is a skin and mucosal commensal in healthy dogs and cats, but can cause infections, including pyoderma. Beta-lactam antibiotics inhibit bacterial growth by binding to the penicillin binding protein (PBP), a vital enzyme in the synthesis of the bacterial cell wall.

Den europeiska identiteten : Komparativ studie mellan kommissionsordförande Barrosos syn på Europeisk identitet och EG/EU:s tidigare officiella hållning

What is the European Union (EU) and which countries should be part of it in the future?

Nevertheless EU continues to expand, recently to the East and non-European countries asTurkey are now on the ?waiting-list?.

Utvärdering av befintliga passivhus : En byggnadsfysikalisk bedömning och mätningar om temperatur, och fukt analys på ytterväggarna

Energy price are on the way up to a high level that will not diminish in the future make us to focus more on the sustainable development for a better solution of residential houses. Passive house or low energy housing are one of the solution to make residential more environment friendly, in same time it´s a financial security using less energy, and saving money. The last 10 years in Germany and all around Europe the concept of passive house been developed, and people aim to know more about these concept that leading the market more attractive for passive houses. A passive house is a well designed building highly insulated and air tight with mechanical ventilated system for the whole building envelope that minimizes the use of energy for heating [1].The housing company Mimer has chosen to invest in low energy consumption in every new housing project.  These future plan projects are decided to use less than 75 kwh per square meter annually in purchased energy [2].This thesis is about new constructed passive houses, and focuses on the evaluations of the temperature, and moisture condition for attic, external walls and joist.

Intryck som ger avtryck i en krympande värld : En kvantitativ undersökning om utrikesnyheternas fokus de senaste 30 åren

We have inquired into how the amount of foreign news has changed over the last 30 years in two major Swedish newspapers, which subjects and regions has dominated the content of the foreign news and what subjects dominate the reporting from certain regions. This was done with a quantitative analysis of subjects and regions written about in 1100 news texts during a week in each year of 1978, 1988, 1998 and 2008. To further broaden our study, we also charted with the analysis how the newspapers domesticate foreign news and how they use international news agencies. As a basis for our discussion we use Van Ginnekens theories of world news centres, Westerståhl & Johanssons and Galtung & Ruges theories of foreign news selection as well as the theories of Hjarvard and Biltereyst about the domestication of foreign news due to commercial pressures and objectives on the newspapers. Our result of the amount of foreign news in the two newspapers is also compared to several similar empirical studies by different researchers.

Effekt av skördetidpunkt och tillsatsmedel påkvalitet och lagringsstabilitet hos majsensilagelagrat under olika tidsperioder

SammanfattningMajsensilage blir allt vanligare i svenska foderstater och då är det viktigt att ha ett branäringsinnehåll och en god hygienisk kvalitet. Det kan uppnås genom att skörda vid rätttidpunkt samt att motverka värmegång i ensilaget efter öppning av silon med hjälp avtillsatsmedel vid skörd. Syftet med detta projekt var att studera effekt av mognadsstadium vidskörd och tillsatsmedel på näringsinnehåll, hygienisk kvalitet och lagringsstabilitet hosmajsensilage lagrat under olika tidsperioder.Under försöket skördades majsen vid tre olika mognadsstadier R4 degmognad (28 % ts), R5dentmognad (37 % ts) och R6 fysiologisk mognad (41 % ts) och lagrades i 28 respektive 110dagar. Vid ensilering av grönmassa, som lagrades i 28 dagar, tillsattes två ensileringsmedel,Kofasil Majs N (saltpreparat med natriumbenzoat och kaliumsorbat, 2 liter/ton grönmassa,Addcon Europe GmbH, Bonn, Tyskland) och ProMyr® XR680, (syrapreparat med myrsyra,propionsyra och formiat i lösning, 4 liter/ton grönmassa, Perstorp AB, Perstorp, Sverige),vilka jämfördes med en obehandlad kontroll. Vid 110 dagars lagring provades ytterligare etttillsatsmedel, Kofasil Life ?M? (bakteriepreparat med heterofermentativa mjölksyrabakterienLactobacillus buchneri, 1*105cfu/g grönmassa, Addcon Europe, GmbH, Bonn, Tyskland).Tillsatsmedlens doseringar är rekommenderade doser från tillverkarna.

Investeringsstrategier för en bransch i motvind : Exempelbransch europeiska massa- och pappersindustrin

Bakgrund: Ofta ligger en hel branschs utveckling till grund för hur investerare värderar enskilda företag men bara för att en bransch presterar sämre än övriga aktiemarknaden behöver inte detta betyda att enskilda företag inom denna bransch inte kan generera överavkastning. Med detta resonemang i baktanke är det intressant att undersöka om man med hjälp av investeringsstrategier kan hitta potentiella ?guldkorn? och på så vis uppnå en högre avkastning än den övriga aktiemarknaden.Syfte: Studiens syfte är att undersöka om det med investeringsstrategier baserade på relativvärdering går att investera i företag inom den europeiska massa- och pappersindustrin och genom dessa skapa en högre avkastning än jämförelseindexet MSCI Europe, trots massa- och pappersindustrins historiskt svaga prestation i jämförelse med den europeiska aktiemarknaden.Metod: Studien bygger på en deduktiv forskningsprocess för att förklara sambandet mellan teori och praktik. Vidare har ett kvantitativt tillvägagångssätt används i studien där en stor mängd data enligt den deduktiva metoden analyserats och testats.Resultat: Studien visar på att det går att generera överavkastning gentemot index genom att följa investeringsstrategier. Den investeringsstrategi som i denna studie genererade den högsta avkastningen var investeringsstrategin baserad på EV/EBITDA justerat för biologiska tillgångar.

"It's about empowering the family": en deskriptiv studie med komparativa inslag om familjerådslag i Helsingborg, Höör och Belfast

In August 2007 we went to New Zealand for a placement at Child Youth and Family Services. There our interest in Family Group Conferences (FGC) took off. FGC is not near as common in Sweden as in New Zealand. Therefore the purpose of this study was to examine how the Social Services in Helsingborg and Höör in Sweden and Belfast in Northern Ireland work with FGC. We had the privilege to go to Belfast in Northern Ireland as part of the project Insight Europe.

Svenskt bistånds geografiska flöden - Landfokusering

This paper aims to describe the geographical changes of Swedish international aid politics since 2007, which was the year the new aid reform of decreasing collaborating countries, came up. To decrease the number of aid receiving countries due to efficiency is not a new idea within Swedish aid politics, but Sweden received criticism from the (DAC) Development Assistance Committee, saying Sweden was active in too many countries, and the government established a policy to decrease the amount of countries given aid. Despite the government?s recent work, science has shown on a failed country focusing. This is followed up in the paper trough examination of statistics to measure the extent of the reduction.

Rekryteringsstrategier för företag inom skogssektorn : en undersökning om hur skogsbrukande och träförädlande företag bygger sitt arbetsgivarvarumärke

The forest industry is anonymous among the young people of today. Many youngsters do not know what the forest industry has to offer. As a result of this, many schools and forest have a weak recruitment. This is not a problem for Sweden and the forest industry only, many other businesses companies suffer from in Sweden and other countries in Europe share the same image problem. The interest and values of young people drives them to look for opportunities in other betterknown sectors with better image and reputation. Many companies report having problems with recruiting the best and right employees and fear that the recruiting-problems will increase when the older generation born in the 1940?s will retire.
