Till f?ljd av klimatf?r?ndringarna ?kar b?de temperaturen och nederb?rden i Arktis, vilket f?rv?ntas f? stora konsekvenser f?r vegetationen som finns d?r. F?r?ndringar i sammans?ttningen av funktionella v?xttyper kan vara en viktig faktor till f?r?ndringar i kolbalansen och bidra till att avg?ra om Arktis f?rblir en kols?nka snarare ?n en kolk?lla. Detta ?r av stor global betydelse d? tundraekosystemen lagrar ungef?r h?lften av jordens marklagrade kol.

The Energy Performance Certification in Sweden was developed as a tool to achieve the Government's target to reduce Sweden's energy consumption by 20 percent by 2020. The Energy Performance Certificate has previously received some criticism for not fulfilling its purpose. Questions that formed the basis for this report is how the energy performance certification provides support to buyers of single-family houses and if the energy performance improved in terms of reliability. The report begins with a background description that describes how the energy declaration works and some of the findings of previous evaluations and surveys. A survey to investigate the broker's position to energy performance have been conducted as well as interviews with buyers and sellers of houses. An investigation whether the energy performance can vary between different calculation programs, depending on various assumptions made by the energy declarant, has been made.Brokers and sellers have proved negative attitudes towards energy performance, particularly brokers.

Detta kandidatarbete i geologi underso?ker berggrunden pa? Uto?s nordo?stra udde i Stockholms ska?rga?rd, med ma?let att faststa?lla metamorfa tryck-, temperatur- och fluid-XCO2-fo?rha?llanden. Uto?s berggrund metamorfoserades ca 1,87-1,78 Ga na?r en o?ba?ge kolliderade med den arkeiska kratonen. Tidigare deponerade karbonater, vulkaniter och gra?vackor blev metamorfoserade i samband med kollision och senare exstensionell kollaps.

The purpose of this paper is to investigate how social workers, working in a management position in the health care system, perceive the encounter of the medical and social perspective. With seven qualitative interviews, the study tries to conclude whether or not social workers are accepted at managerial positions within the health care sector. The social worker is, as a manager in health care, a leader but at the same time in a professional alienation from the medical caregivers. Organizations in the health care sector are often multi professional and have their own long standing tradition, history and culture. The results show that the conditions for social workers, working in a management position in health care appear to be agreeable.

The content of the following report is the summarized result of three students thesis at Blekinge Institute of Technology in co-operation with Water Jet Sweden AB. This report will give the reader a description of principles how to measure the abrasive mass flow in a waterjet cutting system. The work began with a visit to Water Jet Sweden AB to get a closer look at the problem. When the analysis of the problem was done the criteria were defined in the form of demands and desires. The main task of the criteria was to guide the search for the solution. The work proceeded with an extensive search for abrasive flow meters along with obtaining information about flow measurement in general. When the search for abrasive flow meters resulted in nothing all the efforts were concentrated on finding a principle of measurement that could cope with the criteria.

I have worked with Bergum in different courses on the IntegratedConservation of Built Environments program and I thought it was a veryinteresting subject. This is the main reason why I chosen to write mybachelor paper about Bergum.In 1650s Bergum was situated on the border between Sweden and Norway,because of that it occurred some war conflicts.Today Bergum is a socioeconomic border and is situated in an areabetween the city?s concrete suburb and the countryside.The difference between the city?s concrete suburb and the countryside mayfeel like two different worlds, were the social contact is fractional.With this paper, I will indicate a countryside area on the boundary to the citythrough time and try to survey the building history. I will also try todemonstrate the socioeconomic differences between the areas.I will demonstrate Bergum history from prehistory to present time, were I willdiscuss the agriculture history, Vättlefjäll?s forest history and also thedeforestation and replanting.

Dagens samhällsutveckling innebär att länder, regioner, kommuner och städer idag väljer att satsa på nya näringar för att få en stadig inkomst och tillväxt. Karlstad är inget undantag i detta då staden hälsar så väl invånare, besökare som företag Varmt Välkomna med varumärket ?Grader Karlstad?. Våra frågeställningar för detta arbete handlar om hur Karlstad framställs som evenemangsstad av Visit Karlstad och lokala evenemangsbolag samt vilka satsningar som kan göras i framtiden för att Karlstad ska bli en ännu mer framgångsrik evenemangsstad. Vårt syfte med arbetet är att titta på hur Karlstad framställs som evenemangsstad och vilken roll platsvarumärket ?Grader Karlstad? spelar i den framställningen.

Introduction: Our lifestyle habits affect our health and unhealthy habits are a contributing factor to disease. Health care is an arena that should work with health promotion. MI (motivational interviewing) is a method used in various forms of care to work with lifestyle. Aim: To map methods with intention to be used in Swedish primary care, to work with the lifestyle habits diet, physical activity, alcohol and tobacco. Method: This is a literature based study.

The viscosity of air buildings is a hot topic within the construction performers, which the industry feel they have too little knowledge about. This study is mainly aimed against air density in apartment buildings and airflow measurement. The study consists of a theoretical reference, educational visit, interviews and a survey conducted among construction workers at Magistratshagen in Linkoping.Earlier requirement in terms of air leakage through the climate screen was removed and today there are only energy requirement for a dwelling in Boverkets Building Regulations. The difference between a passive and a typical air tight construction is that the passive house have a maximum requirement of 0.3 l /s m2 of air leakage through the building climate screen. The requirement imposed on passive houses is to minimize the supply of power and energy for heating the building.Air tight constructions have heavy demands on the performance and accuracy of everyone involved with the project. The client must specify their requirements and also be prepared to pay for any additional costs. The architect and building planners have to design the building with regard to air tightness. Finally, the construction workers are required to do a careful work in order to get all the connections in the building air tight.The study suggests that an air tight building is a closed system where no forced ventilation exists. There are no reasons not to build too tight as long as there is a functioning ventilation. In this study the authors ask themselves how an air tight building changes over time. No theoretical information has been found on these changes, but the respondents assume that air density decreases with time. The deterioration is mainly assumed to be caused by construction materials changes over time. The study shows that construction workers knowledge of air tight construction is mixed, which they themselves admit in the survey..

Metod: Sex idrottare (4 m?n, 2 kvinnor, snitt?lder 17,5 ?r) fr?n RIG/NIU deltog i VO?max-test p? l?pband eller cykel. Testen f?ljde standardiserade protokoll och m?tte objektiva v?rden som laktat, puls och RPE.

The Swedish government has declared the year of 2006 a special Year ofMulitculture. This has inspired me to look for similarities and differences allover the world, especially the use of rug carpets.During travelling to Indonesia and a visit to the sister of the Sultan ofYogyakarta, I experienced a pleasant moment drinking chilled lemonade. Wewere all sitting on carpets on the floor. To sit on, and get together around acarpet, is an excellent function which we don?t do in the western world.
