Bakgrund: Idag finns ett tydligt behov av att minska utsläpp av växthusgaser. Hoten mot miljön innebär att det är bråttom att utveckla hållbara system för livsmedelsproduktion. Utvecklingen ska tillgodose dagens behov utan att äventyra kommande generationers möjligheter att tillgodose sina behov, och där har konsumenter samt jordbruket en viktig roll att spela. Det debatteras idag om huruvida ekologiskt eller konventionellt jordbruk är det bästa alternativet för en hållbar livsmedelsproduktion. Då studenter ofta har en begränsad budget är det intressant att undersöka deras inställning till hållbar livsmedelsproduktion och hur det påverkar deras livsmedelsval.Syfte: Syftet med den här uppsatsen är att undersöka studenters förhållningssätt till hållbar livsmedelskonsumtion och produktion samt vilka konsekvenser dessa får för deras livsmedelsval.Metod: En webbaserad enkätstudie utfördes där deltagarna, studenter vid Uppsala universitet och SLU i Uppsala, nåddes via www.facebook.com.

Under 1940-talet rådde stor bostadsbrist i hela Sverige och även i Uppsala. Området Tunabackar i Uppsala byggdes 1947 och är en del av den stora utbyggnaden av bostäder som skedde efter andra världskriget och decennierna därefter. Tunabackar planerades av dåvarande stadsarkitekt Gunnar Leche. Området byggdes med tre- till fyravåningshus placerade i vinkel och inrymde 628 lägenheter. Kvarteren var slutet mot norr och öppet mot söder. Byggnaderna bildade skyddade gårdsrum i söderläge. Syftet med den här uppsatsen var att dokumentera skillnaderna mellan funktionerna på en bostadsgård i Tunabackar idag och när samma bostadsgård byggdes 1947.

Sedan 1983 har revisionen varit lagstyrd. Alla aktiebolag är skyldiga att utse en revisor för att godkänna bolagets räkenskaper. Dock har revisionens nytta gentemot dess kostnader på senare tid börjat ifrågasättas. Regeringen har därför år 2006 utsett en utredning för att mäta nyttan av revisionen för de mindre aktiebolagen, Utredningen om revisorer och revisorns uppdrag. Ett avskaffande av revisionsplikten kan komma att förändra aktiebolagens efterfrågan av tjänster från revisionsbyråerna, vilket kan leda till en ny arbetssituation för dagens revisorer.

This study sets out to investigate the social significance and political use of three historical places, from the theoretical starting points of landscape, objects, society and rituals. The Teutoburger Forest in North Germany has had an international effect, being a german national icon during the reformation and through two world wars, Old Uppsala is a place of great importance for the creation and reproduction of Swedish national identity during several hundred years, and Eketorp ring fort on Öland in Sweden is of more regional importance. All these places have been used for social and political reasons through history. History can be used in a constructive or a destructive way. This study stresses the importance of a critical scientific tradition..

There is a mutual dependency between the business world and the country?s municipalities. The municipalities are dependent on the companies to create work and tax income while the companies are dependent on the municipalities they are located in to provide good infrastructure among other things.Apart from this the municipalities can work activly with creating a strong brand in the eyes of the companies and many researchers in marketing agree that marketing of places will be more common in the future. Marketing of municipalities is however still a rather new and unexplored area and it is uncertain how and to what extent the municipalities work with this.The thesis is formulated:How are the municipalities working to market towards companies and is it possible to make out any positive change from these marketing efforts?The goal of this study is:Our goal is to examine how the view of marketing of places differs from different municipalities in the Stockholm region, how some of these municipalities work with this and how far they have come in this work.

This essay is from a student at the cultural science program in Karlstad University. The essay in Culture studies deals about the history use and about the cultural-historical values on buildings. The buildings are from a certain area called the neighborhood Almen and have in the past been threatening many times of demolition. The neighborhood Almen buildings survived a huge city fire back in the 19th century. Since then the buildings has been known as a memory and by the inhabitants and as the oldest part of the city left.

The population of Grey Partridge is decreasing worldwide as a result of anthropogenic activities. Increased agricultural production, requiring homogenous farming landscapes and increased use of pesticides are believed to be the main factor causing population declines in the Grey Partridge. Actions to enhance Grey Partridge populations are available; however, those actions are vain if the acceptance to conduct them is low. To gather information about acceptance among farmers, hunters and the County Administrative Board towards 18 available actions enhancing the Grey Partridge population, nine face-to face interviews were conducted as an exploratory case study. The results showed that willingness to conduct enhancing actions differ between and within the groups of stakeholders.

The purpose of our study is to interpret and understand the collaborative process around a regional model that is based on state developed guidelines for people with dementia. We have chosen to focus on the importance of interaction and have therefore interviewed participants in the project's steering committee. This group participates in efforts to develop a model for dementia care in Halland.The project work in Halland, to develop a joint model for people with dementia and their families was initiated in the spring of 2011 and is due to finish at the end of 2012. The Halland model has been named ?Annas led? and is about Anna and her husband Lars and living with dementia.

The purpose of this study was to map the distribution of till-covered eskers in the inland of Västerbotten County in northern Sweden. The top layers of big eskers along the valleys of Öre River, Ume River and Vindel River were investigated through shallow digging. Findings were investigated through field assessment and soil analysis and many locations with till-covered eskers have been identified in Västerbotten's inland in this survey. The till covering the eskers has probably been transported only short distances and has its origins in glacifluvial material. The pattern is not consistent and there are areas where till does not cover the eskers.

Due to deficiency in dementia care, the government has commissioned the National Board of Health and Welfare to develop national guidelines for health care services to people with dementia and support for their relatives. It has been allocated stimulus funds that may be applied for to work on improvements in dementia care. In August 2010 these guidelines formed the basis for a decision made that collaboration would take place between the county and the municipalities regarding dementia care in Halland, named Anna's path. The aim of this study is to investigate, analyse and describe how our respondents in the project Anna?s path are planning and preparing for the implementation of the registry of quality BPSD - Behavioural and Psychological Symptoms of Dementia.

Städernas gator har länge utformats utifrån bilisternas behov. Men tiderna har ändrats och idag är det allt vanligare att gatumiljöer utformas för att främja cyklister och fotgängare. Det beror delvis på vår strävan efter ett hållbart samhälle. I detta examensarbete kombineras två aspekter som bidrar till ett hållbart samhälle: hållbar dagvattenhantering i gatumiljöer och goda fotgängarmiljöer. Syftet är dels att undersöka hur hållbar dagvattenhantering kan användas för att utforma en gata som är inbjudande för fotgängare och dels att undersöka hur dagvattnets estetiska egenskaper kan lyftas fram på ett hållbart sätt längs en gata.

The concerning issue of declining number of hunters in North America is also apparent in Europe and Sweden. When the bulk of research found on human dimensions and hunting participation has almost exclusively been done in the United States, this report seeks to add to the needed knowledge on a national level focusing on the causes of hunter declines related to social factors within Sweden. Using hunter data reaching from commune, county to National level, this report describes the correlation between a number of variables and the hunting participation in Sweden.The typical Swedish hunter lives in an area with low population density, the person usually has higher education, the living situation is stable with no recent moving and there is relatively good access to forest land. Persons with weaker connection to the Swedish culture such as foreign citizens, people with foreign background and people born outside ?the Nordic countries? are less likely to start hunt or participate in hunting.A strong relationship was found between the favorite game, moose (Alces alces), and the amount of hunters participating in the hunting.

För att locka nya invånare och turister strävar många städer efter att ge staden en positiv och tydlig profil. I arbetet har jag undersökt vilken roll stadens parker kan spela för stadens identitet genom att intervjua invånare i Uppsala och företrädare för trädgårdar och parker i staden. Parken är betydelsefull för stadens identitet genom att den spelar en roll som stadsbyggnadselement och ger karaktär åt staden. Parken har även betydelse för individens upplevelse av staden beroende på hennes föreställningar om parken. Detta kan bero på parkens tillgänglighet och attraktivitet och även på hur stor kunskap om platsen man har.

Two post milkning teat dips (PMTD´s) were compared in an automatic milking system at Kungsängen Research Farm, owned by SLU (Swedish University of Agriculture) in Uppsala. In the experiment an evaluation system was used where teat condition regarding skin and teat ends was graded according to a scale where 1 was the best score and 5 the worst. The evaluation period was almost six months in total devided into four minor experimental periods. The technician scoring the teats did not know which PMTD that was currently used. Statistical analysis showed a significant difference between the two PMTD´s regarding teat skin condition, but not regarding teat ends.

95% of the productive forest land in Sweden are now being exploited for forestry. The new Forestry Act of 1993 equate the goal of production and the environmental goal which means that the objective for forestry is a sustainable yield, while the biological diversity must be preserved. Recent years results from the inventories of the Board of Forestry show declining trends in how nature conservation aspects taken into consideration at the felling sites.The aim of this study is to investigate what happends with the nature consideration taken at felling sites in the long run. 20 final fellings in the county of Östergötland were re-inventoried 7-9 years after final felling. These felling sites had previously been inventoried before final felling (P0) and one year after final felling (P1) in the inventory Polytax by the Board of Forestry.
