Handling, loading, Transport time and unloading in connection to Transport of farm animals affect animal welfare. Induced effects include both psychological and physiological stress responses in animals. The physiological parameters may be measured through blood analysis while behavioural changes often manifest themselves through increased vocalisation, escape attempts and apathy. Physiological parameters are additional parameters of importance when measuring animal stress responses. The handlers behavior during Transport has been shown to have major impact on animal welfare and the quality of meat. Animal friendly handling and driving of animals create a more manageable work environment for the handlers. To further increase animal welfare in connection to Transport, stables should be built with well adapted drift passage and ramps on the Transport vehicle.

The need for roundwood Transport capacity vary throughout the year. The need during a period is influenced mainly by the volume Transported the period, the number of days during which Transport can be carried out, seasonal variations in road conditions and the weight of the roundwood, and the origin of the wood (private forest owners/ forest companies). The need for Transport capacity generally increase during the winter and in spring, after thawing. Lack of logging trucks combined with a lack of drivers for these trucks make it hard to hire extra help during periods of increased Transport capacity needs. It is also very expensive to keep logging trucks for use only during these periods. In this thesis, two new concepts based on the partial Transport by truck tractors have been examined, to find out the possibility for increased performance and flexibility.

Transportation constitutes a large part of the forest industry's raw material costs. Transport also contributes a significant proportion of the carbon dioxide emissions. In order to reduce both the cost and environmental impact different types of decision support are required. These, in turn, require extensive information about the road network and correct information on road path selection and Transport distances. In the development of national road data base for forestry (SNVDB) a road selection application has been included.

?ÄTA-work? (Changes, Supplementary and Retiring works) is more or less common in all construction projects whether it is about houses, roads or railways, in the planning stage, or in the construction stage. For the Swedish Transport Administration, which is the largest purchaser of infrastructure in Sweden, ÄTA-work is a hotter topic than ever.Economists and managers want to draw conclusions on the projects share ÄTA-work, while the project manager is concerned about whether it is possible to draw any conclusions at all as each project is unique in itself and has its own merits. There is a big variation in the amount of ÄTA-work in different geographic districts in the Swedish Transport Administration.This study shows that the Swedish Transport Administration does not have a unanimous approach regarding the management of ?ÄTA-work?.

Kan man förhöja hela upplevelsen av att resa kollektivt genom att förändra textilierna i denna miljö? Hur anpassar man sin estetik till en miljö som är så hårt utsatt för smuts, slitage och skadegörelse? Kan man genom att förändra textilien skapa en bättre relation mellan passageraren och sätet?Textile design for public Transport..

During the Transportation of logging residues (LR) the material´s low density is a problem that results in low use of pay-load capacity. Comminution or compression of LR are possible methods to increase pay-loads. In the present thesis studied a bundling machine which was mounted on a truck chassis, and the subsequent Transport and crushing. The truck bundler created bundles that were larger and longer than other bundling equipment on the market. The objectives were to determine the total time consumption and its allocation over work element and machinery, to measure dry matter (DM) content of green and brown LR-bundles.

ABSTRACT: Commercial swab Transport systems are used for collection and Transporting of fecal and other microbiological samples. This system must maintain viability and contribute to survival of microorganisms during Transport to the laboratory. Four swab Transport systems have been compared, eSwab, ?- Transwab and fecalSwab, all three with flocked swabs, and Copan Venturi Transystem with rayon swabs. The study followed the recommendations from the Clinical Laboratory Standard Institute; document M40-A for recovery of Samonella, Shigella, Yersinia and Neisseria gonorrhoeae after storage for 0, 6, 24, 48 and 72 h at room- (22-25°C) and refrigerated (2-8ºC) temperature.

Hästar har Transporterats längre sträckor i århundraden, först med båt och tåg och därefter på väg och med flyg. Antalet hästar som Transporteras på väg har ökat i takt med att antalet hästtävlingar har ökat. Syftet med denna litteraturstudie var att ta reda på vad som kan göras för att förhindra och åtgärda de störningar som kan uppkomma i vätske- och saltbalansen i samband med Transport genom bland annat utfodring och bra rutiner. I studien ingår även en presentation av gällande regler för Transport av häst. Hur hästen ska Transporteras är reglerat i djurskyddslagen (SJVFS 2000:133). Transporttiden får högst vara åtta timmar därefter måste hästen vila.

 We have chosen to write our thesis within a Transport company. The work was carried out at DHL activities in Uppsala. DHL is one of the leading Transport companies worldwide. Our interest lies in more efficient and advanced Transportation and terminals, as globalization and new trends require effective solutions.The aim of our work is to explain the need for information technology applications in road haulage and associated terminal operations. Furthermore, we analyses terminal and applied information technology.

In Sweden, there an increasing need for Transport and this leads directly to fuel demand of the Transport sector is expected to increase. Both politicians and industry believes that renewable fuels are a realistic and significant method to reduce the Transport sector's environmental impact. This study aims to document the Swedish haulage contractor?s attitude to biodiesel. Also to document the strengths and weaknesses of biodiesel, based on opinions from the ultimate consumers.

The Swedish Transport Agency has for a long time collected data on a monthly basis for different variables that are used to make predictions, short projections as well as longer projections. They have used SAS for producing statistical models in air Transport. The model with the largest value of coefficient of determination is the method that has been used for a long time. The Swedish Transport Agency felt it was time for an evaluation of their models and methods of how projections is estimated, they would also explore the possibilities to use different, completely new models for forecasting air travel. This Bachelor thesis examines how the Holt-Winters method does compare with SARIMA, error terms such as RMSE, MAPE, R2, AIC and BIC  will be compared between the methods. The results which have been produced showing that there may be a risk that the Holt-Winters models adepts a bit too well in a few variables in which Holt-Winters method has been adapted.

The stability of railway embankment is essential for safe Transport. In order to ensure safe Transport, water should be allowed to freely drain. Furthermore, as the engine driver has to be able to see signs, and people working on the embankment are supposed to easily see flaws on the rails to ensure safety for the passing trains, plants should not be allowed to grow on the embankment. In Sweden there are 12 000 kilometers of railway tracks and 25?30 % of them are treated for weed control every year.

At the end of 70s and the beginning of 80s, 18 terminals was built and used for chipping wood residue from clear cuttings. Most of the terminals was terminated before the 2000s but with the high oil- and energy prices that we can see today there might be a place for these terminals again. The goal with the study was to analyze and compare economical differences between 5 different logistical systems, collected data was used with a set of formulas. The systems include long range Transport of slash, chips and bundles. Three of the systems include Transport by lorry to industry the last two includes a terminal with access to train Transport.

Generally, the economic health of Swedish roundwood truck Transport companies has not been good. Profitability is important for maintaining the stability in the Transport business, which is a condition for long-term Transport planning in the forestry sector. The scope of this study was to identify probable factors influencing the profitability of roundwood truck Transport companies and quantify the influence of these factors on economic results. The study was carried out at a major roundwood truck Transport organisation in mid-Sweden and was implemented in four steps. In the first step economic results from the haulage contractors were collected and a random sample was taken from accounted net margin for the account year 2005/2006. In the second step hauliers were interviewed to identify probable success factors. At the third step data for identified factors were gathered through a questionnaire.

Transportation of pigs might be a welfare problem. Stress during and after Transportation can negatively affect the meat quality or cause carcass damages, which leads to major economic losses every year. The Transportation chain can be divided into several stages; loading, Transport and unloading. This literature review focuses on unloading of pigs from a Transport. When arriving at an abattoir pigs can be fatigued and need to be as smoothly unloaded as possible.
