Föreliggande rapport utgör underlag för Länsstyrelsen i Gotlands läns skogsvårdsfunktions skogliga länsprogram för perioden 2000-2010. Det skogliga länsprogrammet avser att belysa frågor som rör skogen och skogsnäringen i länet. En betydande del skall ägnas åt att beskriva skogsbrukets förutsättningar som sedan kommer att ligga till grund för formulering av ett antal målsättningar för den skogliga verksamheten. Gotland skiljer sig från övriga Sverige i många avseenden. Ur skoglig synvinkel är det främst det extremt maritima klimatet, den kalkrika berggnmden, det tunna jordtäcket och den låga mängden nederbörd under vegetationsperioden som drar till sig uppmärksamheten.

Sweden is a country that has made some progress in developing energy efficient solutions. The problem in Sweden is that many houses and apartment buildings are old and have inefficient ventilation- and heating systems. This energy is lost when systems are inefficient, which then results in huge economic costs. Luckily, more and more people are becoming aware of this, which means that Sweden is on track to become even better within energy efficiency.Energy use for the housing- and service sector amounts to 166 TWh of total use at 616 TWh. Without distribution and conversion losses, these figures show that the housing- and service sector accounts for almost 40 % of the country's total energy consumption.

This paper examines and compares several different sites in Sweden in addition to one in Mexico regarding whether the ecological requirements theses sites have had during planning and construction has affected the design in any way. Is it possible that, for different reasons, one thinks ?like nature? when one thinks of ecology and, if true, how does this reflect on the spatial and structural design? This paper tries to identify if some sort of general design expression is used in projects with requirements on ecological sustainability. In total, five projects have been compared in different areas such as choice of materials and their composition. These projects have an ecologically sustainable processing of water in common, although most also have ecological consideration in other areas as well.

Reporting harvested and forwarded volumes are important for the forest industry as it provides information of the size of the stock and facilitates logistics. Figures from Holmen Skog show low reporting frequency. The purpose of this study is to investigate the reason and find suggestions for improvement. A total of 17 machine operators were interviewed using a questionnaire combined with open questions. The results show that the majority of the machine operators find it simple to use the reporting system, although, some of them reports that it doesn?t always work as supposed to.

In each search task the online newspaper contained either a low quality ad or a high quality ad.

The most common reason for a horse owner to seek veterinary care for their horse is related to the musculoskeletal system. Assessment of the horse's movement pattern is essential in the equine veterinary work. How uniformly veterinarians evaluate the lame horse may have both diagnostic and prognostic significance, such as follow up examination by the same or different veterinarian. The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether there are between-veterinarian differences in assessing lameness in the same horse. In total 12 veterinarians evaluated 80 video sequences of 4 horses with induced lameness and made an evaluation of the affected limb as well as the degree of lameness.

SammanfattningSyfte och frågeställningarSyftet med den här studien var att undersöka självrapporterad fysisk aktivitet och stillasittande hos personer med olika aktivitetsnivå på arbetet.    Skiljer sig den fysiska aktiviteten i olika domäner (transport, hem och fritid) respektive den totala fysiska aktiviteten utöver arbetet beroende på aktivitetsnivå på arbetet?Skiljer sig tiden stillasittande beroende på aktivitetsnivå på arbetet?MetodFör att uppfylla syftet valdes en kvantitativ metod med tvärsnittsdesign. Data samlades in med hjälp av enkäten International Physical Activity Questionnaire (lång version), där frågorna om fysisk aktivitet är uppdelade i fyra domäner; arbete, transport, hem och fritid och berör intensitet, frekvens och duration. Frågorna om stillasittande är uppdelade för vardag och helg. Urvalet bestod av personer som arbetade heltid och flera olika yrken inkluderades i studien.

Studiens syfte var att undersöka tränares ledarskap och dess betydelse för elithandbollsspelares tävlingsoro samt om det finns skillnader mellan män och kvinnor. Undersökningsdeltagarna var 116 elithandbollsspelare med medelåldern 21,81 år (SD=3,54) och åtta elithandbollstränare med medelåldern 41,38 år (SD=5,83) från åtta olika klubbar. Undersökningsdeltagarna besvarade enkäter bestående av instrumenten Developmental Leadership Questionnaire (DLQ) och Competitive State Anxiety Inventory-2 (CSAI-2) vilka avsåg att mäta utvecklande ledarskap samt tävlingsoro. Resultaten indikerade att utvecklande ledarskap har en reducerande effekt på kognitiv-, somatisk- och total tävlingsoro samt att utvecklande ledarskap har starkast effekt på kvinnliga elithandbollspelare. Resultaten indikerade även att kvinnliga spelare har högre grad av alla tre kategorier av tävlingsoro oberoende av ledarstil.

Lekarbete/lek som specialpedagogisk metod används bland annat för att hjälpa splittrade, otrygga och okoncentrerade barn, barn i sorg och barn med negativ självuppfattning, genom att leka i närvaro av en intresserad vuxen i ett speciellt lekrum. Barn som upplever skilsmässa kan få dessa reaktioner som behöver bearbetas och vi ville ta reda på om det går att hjälpa dessa barn med lekarbete. Vi ville undersöka hur lekarbete kan stödja skilsmässobarn i åldern 4-7 år samt om lekpedagogernas förhållningssätt har betydelse för barnets bearbetning. Vi ville lyfta fram lekpedagogers erfarenheter och hur de upplever sitt förhållningssätt. Studien bygger på kvalitativa intervjuer av lekpedagoger. Studien visar att lekarbete är stödjande för barn i åldern 4-7 år som upplevt föräldrars skilsmässa. Barnet kan i lekarbete skapa förståelse och få ordning på sina tankar. Lekpedagogernas förhållningssätt har betydelse för barnets bearbetning eftersom de ger barnet total uppmärksamhet..
