På Arkitekturskolans innergård pågick under vintern och våren ett fullskaligt experiment med byggställningar som råmaterial. Undersökandet gick ut på att hitta alternativa metoder att tolka och översätta idéer och föreställningar till arkitektur. Skaparna har med egna händer uppfört och transformerat alla de strukturer som engagerat och interagerat med Arkitekturskolans invånare. All your base are belong to us handlar om att ta i besittning sin vardagliga fysiska miljö. .

In a time when concern for the environment is a topic that is met with both love and hatred, organic goods and services become increasingly common on the market. Communication efforts with the purpose of increasing the proportion of organic products consumed are being conducted by both private and public actors. However, achieving attitudinal and behavioral change within complex areas such as this comes with many difficulties.Within public opinion change, a common way of achieving a change in behavior is to use fear appeals and scare tactics. Earlier studies have shown that messages prompting a low level of fear can be more effective than messages prompting a high level of fear, since a high level of fear tends to raise defense mechanisms in the consumer. The purpose of this essay is to examine whether fear and defense mechanisms is a problem when it comes to making consumers choose organic products, as well as studying whether messages prompting low levels of fear are more effective than those prompting high levels of fear.This quantitative study is conducted in the form of a questionnaire-based experiment, comparing the effectiveness of two messages prompting different levels of fear.

The author is active as a musician in the field of historically informed performance practice (HIP) which emanated from the 20th century early music movement. Studying of historical sources has a central role, but the problem of how interpretation and selection of source material is affected by art and music ideals of our time, is commonly acknowledged. Georg Joseph Vogler shows in a series of articles in "Betrachtungen der Mannheimer Tonschule" (1778-1781) how Stabat Mater by Pergolesi could, and in his opininon, should be improved. The purpose of this thesis is to investigate how this source can be used from the standpoint of a performing musician: How can I use Vogler?s methods in my playing?The introduction problematizes Vogler?s action in relation to his time, and to ours.

Hemoglobin is built up from protein and heme groups which give the blood its red colour . Hemoglobin transports oxygen and carbon dioxide between the lungs and other tissues in the body. Normally, a piglet has a hemoglobin value of 130-150 gram per liter blood, and the lower limit before anaemia appears is 80 grams per liter blood. The immune defense is also dependent upon the presence of iron in hemoglobin, since iron participates in different enzyme systems. When the piglet develops anaemia, it becomes pale and thicker around the neck.

To investigate the possibilities for effective soil tillage, that could imply lower costs, lower negative environmental impact and in addition a meaningful occupation for foraging pigs, a field experiment was carried out in Gränna, Småland, during growing season 2006. The experiment contained two treatments that were repeated three times and were carried out on a couch grass-infected fallow on a light soil close to Sweden?s second largest lake, Vättern. Ploughing was one treatment and pig rooting followed by ploughing, was the other. The experiment was conducted according to the guidelines of organic growing and seedbed preparation was done the same way in the two treatments. The pigs, three groups of five half-year old Linderödssvin (an old Swedish breed), was encouraged to perform an even tillage by strip-grazing, i.e.

Arbetsmarknaden förändras ständigt i hopp om ökad konkurrenskraft, vilket påvisar högre krav på de anställda, osäkra kontrakt och en mindre stabil arbetsmiljö (Cooper, 1999). Enligt Härenstam (2005) resulterar förändringarna i en ökad stress och ett mindre välbefinnande på arbetsplatserna.Arbetsmiljön är den miljö en arbetare vistas mest regelbundet i och har stor inverkan på individens välbefinnande. Arbetsmiljön innefattar fysiska och psykosociala faktorer där de psykosociala faktorerna anses påverka arbetares välbefinnande i hög grad (Levi & Petterson, 1995). Syftet med studien är att undersöka den psykosociala arbetsmiljöns påverkan på kontorsarbetares välbefinnande genom ett experiment med arbetsmiljöbyten.En kvalitativ fallstudie på Älvkarleby kommun har varit den huvudsakliga forsknings-strategin där data insamlats med hjälp av ett experiment och intervjuer. Experimentet har innefattat minst ett arbetsmiljöbyte som arbetaren individuellt fått välja.

Peat litter is a soft material with high absorbency. About hundred years ago many farmers in Sweden used peat litter to their dairy cows. After the World War II the use of peat litter decreased and the farmers used more straw. Nowadays (year 2007), when it is harder to find straw and sawdust to buy, peat litter is advancing again. The purpose with this study is to investigate peat as a litter to dairy cows.

Based on laboratory studies with lysimeters, the concentrations of dissolved reactive phosphorus(DRP) and particulate phosphorus, which is the main part of other P (OVRP), has been studied inpercolating water. The experiment was conducted through irrigation of small soil columnscontaining clay topsoil from an experimental field in Västergötland. Three rain simulations wereconsecutively performed. DRP concentrations in the percolating water ranged between 0.2 - 0.3mg·Lclearly related to the phosphorus concentration in the soil, measured in a soil extract ofammonium lactate (P-AL). Concentrations of OVRP were relatively low and ranged between0.12 and 0.16 mg·Lwas not proven and the experiment may reflect how a relatively slow percolation of water mayrelease DRP.

In this thesis, three separate experiments have been performed on different aspects of the interaction between the causal agent of clubroot, Plasmodiophora brassicae, and its hosts. In the first experiment the pathotype of the P. brassicae single spore isolate, which is currently used to construct a reference genome, has been classified using the ECD bioassay. The disease severity of infected plants was scored according to two different scales and the pathotype was determined according to three previously published guidelines. The results were compared to previous published studies describing the e3 isolate. The life cycle of P. brassicae is not well understood.

Arbetet syftar till att ge exempel på hur konstruktivismen kan användas praktiskt genom olika arbetssätt inom fysikundervisningen i den svenska gymnasieskolan. Arbetssätten som tas upp är demonstrationsexperimentet, den induktiva och den deduktiva klassrumslaborationen, hemlaborationen samt problemlösningen. För vart och ett av dessa arbetssätt ges ett exempel i konstruktivistisk anda, som så vitt upphovsmännen vet, inte tidigare har använts i detta sammanhang. Några av arbetssätten har testats i undervisning av upphovsmännen och därefter utvärderats..

The aim of this project was for me to write two complete songs and to get to know my creative process better. I wrote two songs, made musical arrangements for them, transcribed the music in Sibelius, rehearsed the material with two musicians and at last recorded it in a studio. Throughout this I kept track of my own creative process. The project resulted in two complete songs with arrangement. I learned that I have some difficulty handling adversities in my songwriting, and that it was not so easy to get to know my own creative process as I thought.

The use of combi-drilling during spring tillage has become very common in southern Sweden in recent years. Combi-drilling leads to fewer passes on the field and better plant nutrient utilisation. An example of a combi-drill is the Väderstad Rapid, which is very widely used in spring tillage in southern Sweden. The Rapid has separate fertiliser and seed coulters, which means that the draught requirement is relatively high. It thus requires large, heavy tractors, which compact the soil and are comparatively expensive to buy and run. A few years ago the Finnish combi-drill Tume Nova Combi came onto the Swedish market.

Samhällets behov av naturvetenskapliga problemlösningar när de rör kemin ökar mer och mer, men ungdomars kunskaper och intresse för kemi har minskat det sista decenniet. Den kemididaktiska forskningen pekar ofta på brister och även om lärarens praktik har en avgörande betydelse för elevernas lärande är det väldigt lite av lärarens praktiska undervisnings metoder som kommer till tals. Syftet med denna studie är att sammanställa och lyfta fram det positiva i det praktiska arbetssättet som några yrkesverksamma lärare använder sig av för att uppfylla något eller delar av kursmålen i kemi för årskurs 5. Resultatet kan förhoppningsvis användas för att få fler lärare att våga undervisa i kemi i grundskolans tidigare år. Studien genomfördes genom djupintervjuer.Genom att välja en flexibel undervisning där elevernas intresse och förmåga var i fokus kunde lärarna genomföra en undervisning som bidrog till att delar av de beskrivna målen skulle kunna uppfyllas.

Syftet med arbetet var att undersöka hur min improvisation påverkades av olika förutbestämda parametrar och förutsättningar, både musikaliska och kreativa.Jag gjorde fem olika experiment där jag, genom att applicera olika parametrar på min improvisation, undersökte hur jag påverkades och vad som hände. Jag spelade även in referensimprovisationer för att ge en bild av hur jag improviserade vid tiden för examensarbetet. I improvisationsexperiment 1 undersökte jag sus2- och sus4ackord och kvartsackord/kvartsstaplingar. Improvisationsexperiment 2 bestod av att jag skulle improvisera horisontellt/visuellt över klaviaturen och alternera mina fraser uppifrån respektive nerifrån samt improvisera med korta/långa fraser och toner. Till mitt tredje experiment hade jag förutbestämda rytmer som jag skulle improvisera med.

Uranium (U) is a naturally occurring component in bedrock and under the "right" conditions it can dissolve and move into the ground water. Since many people in Sweden depend on drilled wells as their main drinking water supply, they may be exposed to the uranium in the water. Radioactive radiation is not the major concern associated with naturally occurring uranium. It is rather the chemical properties of uranium that make it a potential danger to human health. Uranium is proven to have toxic effects with respect to the functioning of the kidneys.
