This master thesis covers the seasonal planning of a small scale hydropower system. The system in this study is owned and operated by Mälarenergi Vattenkraft AB. The total system consists of 4 different main rivers with 24 hydropower stations and several dams. The total installed power in the system is 43.75 MW. Most of the hydropower stations are regarded as small scale hydropower stations and thus entitled to green certificates.In this report the issue of planning is formulated as an optimization problem.

Examensarbetet Skärva - historiska spår och framtida möjligheter, inleds med en diskussion om vad ett hållbart stadsbyggande är och vad det kan innebära för landskapet som ligger strax utanför staden. Skärva är en sådan plats som ligger nära både Karlskrona och Nättraby. Det går att se en trend i att många flyttar utanför staden och bygger hus. I Karlskrona finns det i dagsläget områden som Verkö, Bastasjö, Skillingenäs och Skärva by där det byggs nytt. Människor vill ha närheten till naturen, men ändå jobbar få av dem som bor på landsbygden med traditionellt jordbruk.

Regional democratic problems that is discussed are the political responsibility and the power distribution between the political actors on the regional level. A solution of the problem could be to organize the regional society structure in accordance with one of the following organization models"Statligt regionalt ansvar","Kommuner i samverkan"or"Regionalt folkstyre".

Befolkningstillväxten i städerna har varit stor under 1900-talet. Det har inneburit att de gamla industriområden, som till en början låg utanför stadsgränsen nu har hamnat i stadens centrala delar. Dessa områden har på senare år tappat i attraktivitet som industriområde och söker nu nya användningar. Syftet i mitt examensarbete har dels varit att ta fram ett kunskapsunderlag kring tre viktiga frågor som är förknippade till denna typ av områden ? buller, barriärer och återanvändning av industrimiljöer.

Följande arbete undersöker hur regelverket angående byggnation i kulturhistoriskt värdefulla områden tolkas och vad utfallet blir av detta. Stumholmen har valts ut som fallstudie och den paragraf som undersöks är en del av 2 kap, 6§ PBL. Paragrafen talar om hur ny bebyggelse ska utformas och placeras och att ändringar och tillägg ska göras varsamt. Stumholmen har tidigare varit en sluten ö tillhörande militären. I början av 1980-talet beslutades att ön skulle öppnas upp och att en funktionsomvandling skulle genomföras. Ett omfattande arbete påbörjades från kommunens sida med områdesbestämmelser och detaljplaner.

Syftet med examensarbetet är att studera och analysera hur möten mellan olika människor och livsstilar sker på offentliga plaster och stråk i centrala Malmö. Examensarbetet belyser begreppen offentligt rum, möten, livsstil, identitet och försöker ge svar på varför det är viktigt att människor med olika bakgrund och kultur möts, och vad det kan få för konsekvenser om möten inte sker, samt hur stadens offentliga rum kan utformas för att gynna sådana möten. Examensarbetet baseras på litteraturstudier samt egna betraktelser och iakttagelser vid besök i Malmö. Arbetet inleds med en kortfattad beskrivning om industristaden Malmös förvandlig till kunskapsstad. Därefter följer en utveckling av teorier och begrepp kring möten, livsstil och rum. Vidare följer beskrivningar och analyser av två centrala områden i Malmö; Ribersborgsstranden - Västra hamnen - Stapelbäddsparken (område A) och Stortorget - Lilla torg - Gustav Adolfs torg ? Möllevångstorget - samt stråket mellan dessa platser (område B).

Generally in Macedonia keeping farm records and farm business planning is not often practiced like an ordinary activity in farming. Therefore one of the crucial things to do it is to comprise and continuously practice record keeping of farm data. The efficient and justified farm business planning should be based on farm records about the previous work of the farm, which will bring a structured approach for planning all the activities, as well as provide a good basis for attracting investors and creditors for the additional expansion of the business.Given that sheep breeding holds an important part of the livestock production in Macedonia, there is a need for adding analytical sheep enterprise budgets to support the farm business planning process at sheep farms.The aim of this research was to develop sheep enterprise budgets created on the best production practice for Macedonian conditions of breeding and test their applicability into the farm business plan model Agriwise Macedonia. The sheep budgets were composed with a process of data collecting consisted of direct farm data (for the cases), expert's consultation and relevant desk research, as well as a literature study. The aim of doing it was to attain more accurate calculations of the enterprise budgets, which will result in a more precise outcome in the farm business plan model Agriwise Macedonia.

Den strategiska planeringen har kommit att fa? allt sto?rre fa?ste inom den svenska planeringen, och den nya PBL fra?n 2011 betonar att o?versiktsplanen ska inta en mer strategisk roll. I detta har visionen som verktyg kommit att va?xa och bli ett allt vanligare element i o?versiktsplanerna. Begreppet vision kan tyckas ha blivit trendigt.

A large part of research about libraries and library buildings in Sweden has been focused on how the building looks not how it functions with the library. The aim with this master?s thesis is to study how a library building is functioning and how its users are experiencing it. This is studied in three libraries, Kungliga tekniska högskolans bibliotek, Sambiblioteket in Härnösand and Vitterhetsakademiens bibliotek. With the questions of how they were planed, what did the libraries want from the new building and which of these demands were realized.

This report is a result of a diplomawork in construction engineering.The goal of this thesis is to highlighthow the work with planning andperformance management is done in theprojects at the Swedish buildingcontractor Skanska Väg & anläggning,region Stockholm/Mälardalen, districtMark Stockholm North, compared toSkanska?s policies.The comparison was made with focus onfive tools for productivity. The toolsare as follow: broken-down schedule,work sets, visual control, performancemanagement/progress monitoring and bestpractice.The study showed that the usage of thedifferent tools varied both within andbetween the different projects.Practically none of the projects whereusing the tools progress monitoring andbest practice, mostly due to fewoperations being applicable. The worksets are now mostly documented, but theyare rarely followed up. Performancemanagement is somewhat inconsequentialfor the moment, but during 2011 targetsheets will be introduced, withtemplates for setting up targets.Scheduling is one of the most importantworks regarding planning.

Orsa Besparingsskog has an aim to take nature considerations in relation to the harvested volume and area of the annual felling. Around 15 percent of the acreage and 10 percent of the volume should be set aside. It is important to keep close to those figures to avoid future negative effects on the long-term harvesting planning. The purpose of this study was to use laser scanning data to estimate those proportions. The result showed that the proportion of conservation considerations in the ten selected objects in the study was significantly higher than the target of 15 percent of the acreage and 10 percent of the volume. The result showed a setting aside of 19 percent of the acreage and 17 percent of the volume.

In 1998 a new regional development policy was introduced by the Swedish government. A central feature in the policy was the formation of partnerships at the regional level. The partnerships were meant to consist of local and regional stakeholders, representing a great variety of interests, who would collaborate in order to improve regional development. The new policy was promoted, besides being more efficient, as a way to broaden political participation and to break male-dominated structures.This thesis discusses whether the regional partnership actually favours ?women's interests?, in terms of how the relationship of power between women and men is constituted by the model.

 This study aims to deepen the understanding of which opinions and perceptions the teachers in the study have about the national goals, as well as local, when they plan their lessons in science studies for the younger ages. We wish to illustrate which goals these teachers find most important, their opinions on how they use these and how the different goals affect their design of teaching. The study also aims to examine which syllabuses, national or local, the teachers believe have an effect on their planning. Data were collected by interviews with four teachers, combined with questionnaires sent to 25 teachers teaching in science studies in forms 1-6. To analyse the data, key terms from Vygotsky and a sociocultural theory was used, such as situated learning, artifacts, the zone of proximal development, thinking in group and mediation. The data was also interpreted and examined by recent studies regarding this subject. The results show that the teachers find their own knowledge, the national syllabus and their colleagues as most important for their planning.

De externa köpcentrumen har haft en stark utveckling i storstäderna och framförallt har de externa köpcentrumen utvecklats ännu bättre i de mindre städer. Under 1990-talet har externhandeln vuxit med hela 85 procent i Sverige. Att handeln har samlats till färre platser, mest till externa köpcentrum, beror dels på att det skett en urbanisering och dels på att bilanvändningen har ökat. Förr byggdes städerna vid åmynningar, där handelsleder korsades och så småningom vid järnvägsknutar. Numera utvecklas bostäder och service oberoende av varandra.
