Den multivariata variabeln trädslagsfördelning beskriver volymsförhållandet mellan tall, gran och löv i ett skogsbestånd. Ofta är variabeln skattad med subjektiva metoder vilket resulterar i två typer av fel, systematiska och slumpmässiga. Subjektivt värde = Sant värde + systematiskt fel + slumpmässigt fel De slumpmässiga felen är omöjliga att justera, men de systematiska går att åtgärda genom kalibrering. Målet med arbetet har varit att finna lämpliga metoder att kalibrera trädslags­ fördelningen i subjektivt skattade register för att eliminera det systematiska felet. Kalibreringar har gjorts med fyra olika regressionsmodeller och ett neuralt nätverk.

The purpose of this study was to investigate and expand the knowledge of how bereaved spouses in palliative care handled their grief. Attempts were also made to distinguish common patterns among the experiences that the bereaved spouses expressed.  Furthermore the study aimed to understand how the bereaved spouses handled their grief, and to understand what helped them to move on.

The result was analyzed by using Antonovsky?s theory; a feeling of coherence, Lazarus? coping theory combined with Folkman?s revised coping theory.

AbstractTrendanalys av rapporterade störningar vid de svenskakärnkraftverkenAnalysis of trends in reported safety-related events atSwedish nuclear power plantsSafdar KargarThis degree project was conducted at the Swedish Radiation Safety Authority (SSM)as part of the bachelors program in Nuclear Engineering at Uppsala University duringthe spring of 2011.The Swedish Radiation Safety Authority (SSM) has developed a Windows baseddatabase called ?ASKEN? during later years. In this database more than 12 000 eventreports are stored sorted in three categories, category 1, 2 and 3. The databasecontains events from the start of Oskarshamn 1 in 1972 till present time.All nuclear power plants in Sweden are obliged to report any deficiency in theirbarriers and/or the defense in depth in obedience to SSMFS 2008:1.When a failure is detected or there is reasonable suspicion of a deficiency, the eventreport should be classified as a deficiency of category -1, 2 or 3 [1].The event reports are logged and archived in the register of SSM. The SSM task forceAnalys av Störningar på elproducerande Kärnkraftverk (the ASK-group), evaluates allincoming event reports and categorizes them according to established criteria.The aim of the project is to study and analyze the event reports in the database andidentity interesting observations and trends which should be investigated morethoroughly by deeper analysis to establish any positive or negative trends of reportedevents. .

Rock singing - five vocal teachers´ experience of the female voice.The purpose of this study is to find out what different vocal teachers have to say about rock singing and the female singing voice. The method I have used to gather information is a phenomenographically inspired qualitative interview. The study begins with a few thoughts about my interest in rock singing, followed by a short overview about other research and literature that has been published on the subject. I have interviewed five vocal teachers in this study. All of them with many years experience of singing, both singing themselves and teaching professionally.

Permanent identitetsmärkning måste utföras på hundar, men är ej obligatorisk på katter. Hundars ägare måste dessutom enligt lag registreras hos Jordbruksverket, men många väljer att också registrera ägarskapet i andra register, vilket ökar möjligheterna för att en bortsprungen hund ska kunna återförenas med sin ägare. Detta arbete beskriver hur märkning med mikrochip och tångmärkning går till. Mikrochipmärkning får göras av den som genomgått en särskild utbildning, men tångmärkning måste göras av djursjukvårdspersonal. Vidare nämns också de största registren för hund och katt i Sverige.

Det saknas formkrav för erhållande av sakrättsligt skydd vid pantsättning av bostadsrätter varför det i praxis har utvecklats att föreningen ska underrättas, denuntieras, i analogi med 31§ SkbrL. Det saknas även formkrav på denuntiationens utformning, vem som är behörig att motta den eller krav på formell prövning av pantsättningens giltighet. Föreningen har endast ett lagstadgat krav enlig BRL att anteckna pantsättningen i föreningens lägenhetsförteckning. Varje förening har en egen lägenhetsförteckning vilket innebär att det saknas ett enhetligt och tillförlitligt register över samtliga bostadsrätter så som finns för fast egendom. Hanteringen av pantsättningar av bostadsrätter handläggs således många gånger av personer på ideell basis och med skiftande kompetens, dessutom hanteras varje denuntiation manuellt.

The purpose with this study is to find out how much dead wood we can expect us to find in a Russian reference river and compare with studies from Swedish streams. Dead wood are an important structure for the biodiversity in forest streams, studies have shown that population of trout can increase with up to 300 % when the amount of dead wood are increasing from 0 to 8 ? 16 LWD (Large woody debris)/100 m2. Dead wood are also an important structure for the stream character, formations of dams and pools which are important habitats and reproduction areas for salmon and brown trout. The study where taken place in tributaries to the Russian river Varzuga in the North West part of Russia outside Murmansk. Varzuga has low impact of human activity and is considered to be a reference river to rivers in northern Sweden.

ABSTRACT TITLE: Oil price shocks impact on the British and the Swedish stock markets SEMINAR DATE: 2007-06-07 COURSE: Bachelor thesis in Business Administration and Economics, 10 Swedish credits (15 ECTS) AUTHORS: Carl Hersaeus, Sven Piehl Trygg ADVISORS: Hossein Asgharian, Göran Andersson KEY WORDS: Dummy Variables, United Kingdom, Oil Price, OLS, Regressions, Stock Markets, and Sweden PURPOSE: The purpose of this paper is to study whether, and how, oil price shocks have an impact on British and Swedish stock markets. METHODOLOGY: Our paper is based on secondary data, focused on historical spot prices on Brent oil and stock indices from Sweden and UK. We construct dummy variables to register positive and negative disturbances in the oil price. Furthermore we try to find a relation between the price disturbances and the different stock indices. THEORY: We take off from earlier studies, which prove that there is a relation between oil prices and stock markets.

The subject of sms-loans is examined by using primary and secondary sources?. This form of credit is formally independent from other obligations with a very short credit period and the amount of the loan is low. This form of credits is applied by mobile phones and on the internet by several companies, some of them are presented in this essay. These type of creditors do not come under any sanctions from the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority as is customary for other creditors, they only need to register.

When SKL (Swedish National Laboratory of Forensic Science) gets images to analyse, the task often is to identify a person or an object. In that work it?s important to find features. Unfortunately images from camera surveillances often contain a lot of noise, so details can be hard to discern.A simple method to improve an image from a sequence is to compute the mean of some of the images. However, the part of interest in the image has to be in the same position in all images.
