The Scanian woodfences has been determined by two mainly elements: Scania's composition of tree species, with a large element of deciduous forest, and the local building tradition which has more in common with the European continent than the Swedish tradition. By examining responses from ethnological question lists deriving from the first half of the 1900s, combined with literature studies, I have been able to deepen and broaden the knowledge behind the various fencing design. In addition I ?ve constructed maps which could illustrate their historical geographic distribution.I have come to the conclusion that there was three main types of woodfences that was most common until the barbed wire was introduced in the early 1900s and later on replaced the elderly woodfences. Common for the three main types is that the base material was made out of Juniperus communis, this largely because of its durability against rot.

Examensarbete behandlar Piteås grönområden och vattenrum med fokus på Boverkets beskrivning av de sociala aspekterna, vilket menas hur vi människor använder stadens gröna rum. De ekologiska och kulturella aspekterna beskrivs dock även i examensarbetet, detta för att påvisa den samlade vikten av en stads gröna områden. Piteås grönområden har avgränsats till stadsnära rekreationsområden i form av stråk, motionsspår och friluftsområden samt vattenrum och parker. Examensarbetet innefattar även hur dessa ser ut och används vintertid. Genom inventering och analys av Piteås grönområden har det utkristalliserats vilka platser som bör få en ny utformning och nya användningsområden, nya förslag har därför utarbetats för dessa.

Med utgångspunkt från ett befintligt gestaltningsförslag och en tillhörande växtlista har jag i det här arbetet undersökt de aspekter som kan beaktas för en plantering med estetiska värden under hela året. Syftet med arbetet är att lyfta betydelsen för landskapsarkitekter men även andra läsare att lära känna sitt växtmaterial för att kunna göra dynamiska växtkompositioner. Detta kandidatexamensarbete är uppdelat i tre delar. Den första delen av arbetet består av en litteraturstudie där läsaren får insyn i aspekterna form, färg och komposition. Studien visade på att växtdynamik är mest intressant att ta hänsyn till då en komposition med estetiska värden under hela året eftersträvas. Med planering och förståelse för växterna kan växtsäsongen förlängas och de estetiska värdena i offentliga rum och privata trädgårdar förhöjas.

Sammanfattning: Liljebaggen, Lilioceris lilii (Scopoli) är den största skadegöraren på liljor tillhörande släktena Lilium och Fritillaria, och är ett problem i Sverige liksom i övriga Europa, Nord-Amerika och Asien. Skadan orsakas främst av larverna, men även av fullvuxna baggar, som äter på plantans blad, knoppar och blommor (Ernst, 2005). De kan orsaka allvarliga skador genom att äta upp alla blad på plantan (Gold et al., 2001; LeSage and Elliott, 2003). Biologisk bekämpning i Sverige verkar möjlig sen man har upptäckt parasitsteklar som attackerar liljebaggens ägg och larver i Europa. I de centrala delarna av Europa har Haye och Kenis (2004) funnit fyra arter av parasitsteklar som parasiterar liljebaggens larver, ichnemoniderna Lemophagus pulcher, Lemophagus errabundus, Diaparsis jucunda, och eulopiden Tetrastichus setifer. En äggparasit, mymariden Anaphes har också upptäckts, liksom hyperparasiten Mesochorus lilioceriphilus, en ichneumonid, som ofta parasiterar Lemophagus arterna. För att undersöka förekomsten av dessa steklar i Sverige gjordes insamlingar av liljebaggslarver under sommaren 2006 på olika platser i tre regioner, södra (Skåne), sydöstra (Småland och Öland) och mellersta (Stockholm) Sverige.

Our aim with this study has been to show the central factors that we consider have had animpact on public libraries in the "information society". We have studied two communities in the south of Sweden, Ronneby and Sölvesborg. These two communities have both started a development to the IT society, a society where information plays a great role, where the technique is the tool that supplies information.Ronneby community had early the aim to be the chief Swedish information center. A priority on information technology has therefore been obvious for them. Sölvesborg community has had another method and time schedule towards the IT society.We have been studying the documentation of aim and the strategy for IT development in different levels.

The purpose of this thesis project is to develop a set of interactive digital solutions designed to enhance the interest and knowledge intake of visitors at Skånes Djurpark (Zoo of Scania) in Höör. The project was carried out in collaboration with Skånes Djurpark and representatives from its visitors. Our thesis is based on academic works in the fields of interaction design, exhibit design and contextual learning. Ethnographical field studies have been conducted at Skånes Djurpark with additional field studies at Tropikariet in Helsingborg, Copenhagen Zoo and Regionmuseet Kristianstad. Existing information signs in Skånes Djurpark are primarily image- and textbased, forcing visitors to divert their attention from the different species of Nordic animals that inhabit the zoological park.

Projektet handlar om att i en förskolebyggnad sammanföra flera funktionersom. I byggnaden ryms förskoleverksamhet, ett så kallat nattis samt en restaurang med stort arbetskök. En kombinerad verksamhet sparar resurser fysiskt samt ekonomiskt. Restaurangen är öppen för allmänheten men är främst en del av förskoleverksamheten. Målsättningen är att skapa en byggnad som lever dygnet runt.

The aim of this study was to investigate which situations haemodialysis patients consider as the hardest for avoiding fluid intake. The data collection was performed with a questionnaire which was distributed to haemodialysis patients who fulfilled the inclusioncriteria. Of 158 haemodialysis patients 103 haemodialysis patients chose to participate in the study. The participants were chosen from different dialysis centres (n=12) in north and south of sweden, excluding the middle of Sweden. The questionnaire that was given out consisted of 32 situations, the response format included nine alternatives, that included different kind of difficultes.

Mitt mål var att skapa västra söders identitet och samlingsplats, vilken helt saknas idag. Utmaningen var också att transformera Hornsbruksgatan från en baksida till en tillgänglig plats. Högalidsparken förlängs ner till gatunivå - Hornsbruksgatan blir en blandning av park/ torg genom ett specifikt grönt plattsystem. Nya stråk och ramper binder ihop nuvarande gatu- och parknivån. Bebyggelsen är småskalig och nätt, ändå är programmet större än förslagit proram.

This essay aims to investigate the use of an origin-ID within the Beaker Complex, as defined by John C. Barrett, seen through their different expressions of use in ceramic form and ornamentation, architecture and landscape through time and space with special emphasis on the late Neolihtics in the South of England. The analytic vehicle "the reinforcing circle" is used as a new diffusion model suggested by Stuart Needham, and the analytic tool "incubation" is used to structure the process the Beaker-cultures may have used to reach cultural hegemony. Id est, that the Beaker-cultures socially invites already existing cultures, offering within family and trading the results of new technolo­gies. And/or, occupy the space and use the authority needed by re-writing the narrative as seen in the grave use and grave deposits.

During the spring semester of 2009 I have participated in what was to become the project The Allotment Plot; a collaboration between the Swedish University of Agriculture and the Wanås Foundation. As one of six students in landscape architecture I have experienced a group based learning process with the point of departure in the designing of an organic and experimental kitchen garden at Wanås, a sculpture park for contemporary art. The project came out as neither us nor any other of the people engaged could have guessed. What was meant to be a garden turned out to become an entire cultivation movement. As students, we have gained a lot of experience through praxis; experience that will be valuable for our future profession. The project has also opened up the possibility to question and reflect upon what our profession and education could or should be about. This thesis focuses on the role of communication and the production of communicative tools in design processes and landscape architectural practice. It discusses how communication may be used in an exploratory and ?un-securing? way, and how this may dislocate the professional role, especially in situations where the design action, as in the case of this study, demands a high degree of transdisciplinarity and collaboration. .

ABSTRACTBjelkenbrant, Pernilla, 2006: ANC-galan i Göteborg 1985: en analys av sången Soweto som politisk mobilisering (The ANC gala in Gothenburg in 1985: an analysis of the song Soweto as a means of political mobilisation)The political scientists Abdul Karim Bangura, Ove Nordenmark and Tor Sellström, all believe that there, during the 1980s, existed a strong and unified ?Swedish? attitude against the South African apartheid system, and Sellström points out that this position had a strong anchorage in the ANC gala in Gothenburg in 1985. Over the past few years, singing has been identified as playing a crucial role in the struggle against apartheid. The aim of this study is twofold: firstly it presents a comprehensive discussion on how song is generally considered a tool of political mobilisation, secondly it discusses how that process can be applied to the ANC-gala. Consequently, the theoretical discussion constitutes the initial part of the study.

Do teachers? expectations of their pupils become a part in the judgement of which grade a pupil will receive in the end?Several of the polical parties in Sweden have recently been argueing that teachers should be able to give pupils a grade in how they behave in school. Several newspapers also have reported that pupils today have gotten lower results for the last few years and more pupils do not get approved in all subjects. Because many of the studies about pupils results focus on the pupils? skills, I deciced to focus on the teachers part in how a pupil get a better grade or not.In the study I have been looking at a small community in the south of Sweden.

Uppsatsens syfte är att söka förklara politiska våldet i Indien utrifrån tre perspektiv; territoriell odelbarhet, nationalism och fundamentalism. Avgränsningen är de etniska minoriteterna; assameser, bodo, kashmirer, muslimer, naga, sikher, tripura och ursprungsstammar. Åren som uppsatsen har fokus på är 1985-2000. Uppsatsen är en fallstudie av Indien där åtta olika etniska minoriteter är studieobjekt. Maryland Universitys MAR-databas, Uppsala universitets UCDP-databas samt South Asia Terrorism Portal (SATP-databasen) fungerar som huvudsakliga källor.Resultatet visar att den territoriella odelbarheten har stark förklaringskraft i de flesta av fallen (sju av åtta) i Indien.

The Swedish school reflects the society that we have today, a society with many different ethnical and cultural backgrounds. The purpose of this investigation is to study how the school is working with children that recently immigrated to Sweden. What kind of methods are they using at school, to get the best development as possible? Do the teachers manage to be concerned of the students in the school? What kind of reception do these children get in the school? What methods are the teachers using? And are these methods really the best to use to enhance the language and cognitive development of these students?The methods I have been using to examine these questions have been qualitative. I have interviewed three teachers about their everyday work in a multiethnic school south of Stockholm.
