Lotsbroverket is the largest wastewater treatment plant on The Aland Islands and it isdesigned for handling wastewater from approximately 30 000 persons. In 2011,Lotsbroverket produced about 2800 m3 of dewatered sludge. The sewage sludge that isproduced is transported to a contractor where it is processed to eventually be used e.g.in the construction of green space. This study aims to investigate available applicationoptions in terms of the sewage sludge that is produced in Lotsbroverket. The main aimis to study the feasibility of using the produced sewage sludge as a fertilizer in theagriculture of The Aland Islands.The sludge already fulfills limit values for heavy metals in accordance with the Act"The Aland Government´s directive on the use of sewage sludge in agriculture." Inorder to clarify the sludge content of pharmaceutical and organic substances it isrequired that the substances are identified and a risk assessment is performed.

This is a study about how Swedish travel magazines write about tropical islands with a history of colonization. The study investigates how the islands of Mauritius, the Seychelles, Haiti, the Maldives, the Dominican Republic, Aruba, Zanzibar and Guadeloupe are being portrayed in four Swedish travel magazines.Travel articles published in the travel magazines Vagabond, Allt om Resor, Res and Escape 360° during the period January 2004 to December 2009 have been analyzed through critical discourse analysis.The study concludes that the travel magazines tend to idealize and aestheticize the tropical islands. The islands are being presented as paradises on earth. They are described as fairy tales, magical, dreams and as playgrounds for Westerners. The inhabitants of the tropical islands are being judged by how well they attend to the tourists? needs and wishes.

Hällaryd archipelago, consisiting of approx. 50 islands, islets and skerries, is situated east of Karlshamn city in Blekinge province. The archipelago has been shaped into a rift valley by volcanic activity, the inland ice and maritime climate.The archipelago is divided into seven main islands: Bockö, Västra Bokö, Ekö, Hallö, Joggesö, Mjöö and Tärnö. This essay will connect population changes with land use.

The purpose of this thesis is to describe and analyse the road towards a modern library in the southern archipelago of Gothenburg between the years 1943 and 1976. The archipelago consists of about thirty smaller and larger islands, of which seven are inhabited throughout the year. Styrsö and the surrounding islands composed a municipality of their own until 1973. In January 1974 it became a part of the municipality of Gothenburg, this is also the year when the only bridge in the archipelago was ready to be taken into use, between Donsö and Styrsö. There is no bridge between the mainland and the islands.

This paper deals with the early mesolithic sites in Gladö, a part of Hanveden situated south of Stockholm. It tries to explain the big amount of sites, why people came to these islands and what they were doing there. The large shore displacement together with the topography of the mesolithic islands resulted in a rapid change of suitible areas for camping. The prime occupation was sealhunting on the ice of the Ancylus lake in early spring. As the archipelago became larger other activities as fishing and birdhunting got more important and people stayed for longer periods..

Arbetet behandlar isländsk bibliotekshistoria, som tog sin början då den första läseföreningen bildades 1790. Målet var att köpa böcker kollektivt för cirkulation. Under 1800-talet växte läseföreningar upp för "vanligt folk" över hela Island. Amtsbiblioteket i Akureyri, 1827, grundades på danskt initiativ. Pliktleveranslag kom 1886, som omfattade Amtsbiblioteken och Nationalbiblioteket i Reykjavik.

Fornföreningen Fibula on The Aland Islands contacts the author because its members want to create a museum.The purpose of this two years master?s thesis in Archive, Library and Museum studies is to shed light on what a museum really is. The research question I have answered is ?what is a museum and is this what Fibula really wants in their reconstructed Viking village??. Based on interview material, ethnographic field studies, relevant research in the subject and documents from Fibula, I have answered the research question.

Roseroot (R. rosea L.) has gained more attention the last years, mainly because of its phy-topharmacologic properties. Even though many reports in roseroot have been published, only a few articles are dealt with the genetic diversity. The Nordic Genetic Resource Center has collected Roseroot material from Sweden, Greenland and Faroe Islands under different expeditions. The samples were analysed to study the genetic diversity study.

Uppsatsens syfte är att analysera de två vanligaste bänkböcker som ett antal flickor i år 5 tycker är bra. Genom litteraturanalyserna vill vi undersöka protagonisterna i de valda böckerna och hur protagonisternas personskildringar möjligtvis kan påverka de läsande flickornas genuskonstruktion, identitetsskapande och självbild. Utifrån syftet besvaras frågeställningarna Vilka är de två bänkböcker som flest flickor i vårt urval i år 5 tycker är bra? Vilka huvudkaraktärer förekommer i dessa böcker och hur skildras de? Hur kan personskildringarna möjligen uppfattas av flickorna och bidra till deras genuskonstruktion, identitetsutveckling och självbild?Frågeställningarna undersöks genom litteratur om genusteorier, teorier om identitetsskapande och självbild, litteratur om litteraturanalys och genom empiriskt material. Det empiriska materialet består av enkätundersökningar till klasslärare och flickor i år 5 samt litteraturanalyser av de två böcker som framkommit som resultat av enkätundersökningen till flickorna.I resultatet presenteras analyserna av böckerna kopplat till relevant litteratur.

There is a growing trend in the world, where cities compete with each other by building similar attraction to enhance the tourism at the destination. This competition often results in the opposite where the cities lose their authenticity. Stockholm on the other hand does have the possibility to offer its visitors Stockholm?s archipelago, which is a unique natural phenomenon that cannot be replicated. Stockholm is the most popular tourist destination in Sweden.

This essay has examined how the local community is involved with the tourism development on the San Blas islands and how it effects the destinations development. The method of choice has been a qualitative interview with an operator that offers trips to the destination. Also there has been made a literature study where previous research about the San Blas and the subjects of choice is being presented. During the writing process of this essay it has become obvious to us that the local community (Kuna Yala) is very much involved in everything that concerns the destination. We can thereby establish that the local community of San Blas can be placed on the top step of Arnsteins (1969) ?Ladder of Participation?.

One of the main reasons for the massive loss in plant species diversity is the fragmentation of habitats. In Europe, open pastures and meadows are the habitats going through the most changes during the 20th century, according to the agricultural changes. In this study vascular plants were invented at five different islands in the Lurö archipelago, Vänern, Sweden. The aim of the study was to sort out whether the diversity of plants has gone through any changes in abandoned managed grasslands compared to continuous managed grasslands. The aim was also to study if a change in the landscape has made any differences for the species development or decline.

SammanfattningUppsatsens syfte är att undersöka och analysera hur nyckelaktörer arbetar med att göra Stockholms skärgård till en exportmogen turistdestination. För att uppnå detta syfte har vi utgått från forskningsfrågan:·     Hur arbetar Stockholm skärgårds nyckelaktörer med destinationsutveckling och destinationsmarknadsföring för att attrahera fler internationella besökare?                                                                                                                        Sverige som turistdestination har ökat markant i attraktionsvärde under de senaste åren, och därför måste Sverige kunna leverera mer exportmogna destinationer, så vi kan möta de utländska besökarnas behov och krav. Stockholms skärgård består av nära 30 000 öar och etablerades som ett turistparadis redan i början av 1900-talet i Sverige. Än idag ses skärgården som en landsbygdsidyll och rekreationslandskap för många svenska fritidshusägare och turister.

The forests in the unique archipelago of the Baltic Sea is housing many and high values. For the resident population, which has a central role in sustaining a living archipelago, the forest can contribute to the outcome. The forest also contributes to turn the archipelago into one of Sweden?s most attractive recreational areas. Furthermore, these forests exhibit very high environmental values, and they are an element in the traditional cultural landscape.
