The Swedish industrial society has left several areas with contaminated soil and water which today is of danger for the environment and human health. One of these areas with contaminated soil and water is the region where the former Glava glassworks operated during 1859 to 1939. The main object in this study has been to study the responsibility for the contaminations according to the Environmental Code. The method used is a qualitative content analysis of relevant literature to answer the following questions:What types of contaminations can be found in the area of Glava glasswork and what health issues can these cause?What kind of activity has been conducted in the area that have caused the contaminations in soil and water?According to law, what are the responsibilities for the contaminations in soil and water at Glava glassworks?The contamination in the region has been confirmed to originate from the glasswork due to the environmental engineering survey made in the area in 2009.
Metaller i dagvatten - Effekter i recipient : En analys av koppar, kdamium och zink i dagvatten från en parkering i Halmstad, Sverige
When stormwater occurs near human activity the water gets polluted. The purity and composition vary widely depending on the types of activities in the area, the type of surface the water comes in contact with, precipitation and many more parameters. It has long been known that stormwater quality can affect both human health and the environment as stormwater is a major contributor to pollution of receiving waters.A human activity that has an impact on the environment in several different ways is traffic and stormwater is no exception. Airborne gases that react with precipitation, oil leaks and fuel systems that drops down on the ground, metals from brake linings and rubber particles from tire wear are some of the aspects you have to take into account when categorizing the relationship between traffic and polluted stormwater.In this project, stormwater samples from a parking lot in Halmstad, Sweden were collected and analyzed with an atomic spectrophotometer. The presence and relationship between copper, cadmium and zinc with different rainfall parameters have been studied.
Effect of vortex-processed water on tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) plants
This pilot study examined whether treatment with Vortex Process Technology (VPT) of the irrigation
water used on tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) plants had any effect on plant growth. In a block
experiment, with two blocks comprising 12 vases containing 1 L water and two tomato plantlets,
treatment in which, nutrient solution was based on Vortex-treated water was compared with an control
using untreated water. All vases were kept in a static aerated culture system in a daylight chamber for
four weeks. The results showed that the effect of the two blocks exceeded the effect of vortex
treatment in terms of leaf area and weight of fresh and dry matter. Plant height, stem width and
internodal length were significantly different in tomato plants grown in Vortex-processed water
compared with the untreated control.
"Annan finansiell verksamhet" - En tolkning i ljuset av CFC-lagstiftningen : En tolkning i ljuset av CFC-lagstiftningen
The initial provisions concerning CFC-legislation were introduced 1990 and has since been subject to several revisions and adaptations. The fundamental purpose of the CFC-legislation is to prohibit and prevent tax evasion undertaken by such companies that own other foreign companies where generated income is subject to low rates of taxation. The CFC-legislation aims to provide the Swedish government with an op-portunity to tax this income. This is important in order to prevent tax avoidance and preserve the integrity of the system of taxation within Sweden. In order for the CFC-legislation to be as effective as possible there must exist a clear way of defining which activity that is to be regulated within its scope.
Vattenanläggningar som gestaltningselement i offentliga miljöer :
Water constructions - as a design element in public spaces is the title of this Master thesis, with a focus on waters function and meaning in the urban environment.
By way of introduction, mans relationship to places is described and the factors that contribute to the reality that we prefer some places more than others. A good place to stay is open but well defined, gives protection, offers a good view and is varying in topography and vegetation, together with contents of single landscape elements like visible water.
This study then continues to discuss mans relationship to water and its means for our wellbeing. Despite the fact that people have a different relations to water due to personality, background and age, it?s an element that raises positive feelings, interest and aesthetic pleasure for most people.

Bildskapande : En undersökning i hur pedagogerna på en förskoleavdelning ser på och bemöter barns bildskapande
This report describes a study of how educationalists, from one preschool group, approach to and respond to children ?s creative activity in preschool. To answer the survey ?s purpose I used four research questions, which is the following:-What function do the educationalists give the creative activity in the working?-How do they see the importance of thecreative activity for thechild and its development?-How doeducationalists considerthat theyrespond to the child's creative activity?-Is thereany norms surrounding creative activity in preschool?The theoretical base of the study is rooted in the sociocultural perspective, where creative activity and visual arts can be seen as mediating cultural tools. The method is a qualitative interview of five preschooleducationalists.
Modellstudie av föroreningsretention i Bäckaslövs våtmark : Tillämpning av modellverktygen MIKE SHE WET och MIKE 21
During the nineties, ecological handling of urban storm water became very popular in Sweden. Together with Chalmers University of Technology and two Swedish communities, DHI Water and Environment has been doing research of storm water ponds and constructed wetlands. This thesis work is a part of that research project. The work has been applied at the Bäckaslöv storm water treatment plant in Växjö, Sweden. The plant consists of one storm water pond and a downstream constructed wetland.
Vilken preferens har tjockskalig målarmussla (Unio crassus) för bottensubstrat och vattenhastighet i Storån, Östergötland?
The thick shelled river mussel (Unio crassus) has a fragmented distribution in southern Sweden. It is a threatened and protected species. In both the Swedish red list and the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species Unio crassus is classified as Endangered (EN). Causes for this classification are for instance differentiated bottom substrate and deterioration in water quality. In this study, habitat preferences of Unio crassus were investigated to assist in future restoration work.
Bevattning av lagrat virke vid svensk skogsindustri : omfattning och miljökonsekvenser
Most of the saw and pulp industries have stored wood nearby their production, the main
reason is to have a continuous wood flow to the production. Wet storage of wood is of great importance to keep the wood quality. Without water sprinkling the risk of drying outand decomposition through biological activity increases significantly and will result in a negative effect on future production and quality.
One drawback of wet storage of wood is the leaching of chemical substances into the
surrounding recipient. The log yard run-off contains phosphorus, nitrogen, phenols and
organic substances. These substances can cause problems for the surrounding environment.
The main objective of this project is to gain an understanding of the wet storage used by the Swedish wood industry and estimate the environmental consequences that run-off water will have on the recipient.

To get answers on the question of issue was a questionnaire handed out. 82 % answered, which means that 45 of totally 55 employed in both primary care units answered the questinnaire.Results44 of 45 asked reported that they give verbal advice about physical activity to their patients today.
Activity-based management : En begreppsprecisering
Background: In the eighties the debate concerning the declining relevance of the traditional calculation started. The reason was that the method of calculating not had been changed despite that the costs and manufacturing had changed in many companies. This led to the development of activity-based costing. Management by means of activity information is called activity-based management, but there is no general accepted definition of what the term com- prises. Neither are there any studies which describe within which areas activity information is used as a base for decisions.
Miljökonsekvensbeskrivning för en utökning av befintlig djurhållning :
In the last few years the environment becomes more watchful, even for us farmers.
All agricultural enterprises that exceed 200 animal units must be tested according to
regulation of environment. A farm business with 200 animal units and more is classed
?environmentally hazardous activities? and has to make an environmental impact
assessment for the business you have today, and the activity after expansion.
Before you can construct a building and expand the numbers of animals is a lot of
applications to make. I have in this project restricted me to establish a environmental
impact assessment and a consultation foundation.
To make a environmental impact assessment is the big part of the application. The
environmental impact assessment take a lot of time and you need skills for all the rules
in the environmental code to be abele to make an environmental impact assessment
approved.
The environment codes purposes (1 kap 1 § Miljöbalken) is to rule the laws.
The purpose of the environment code is to promote sustainable development which will
assure a healthy and sound environment for present and future generations.
Definitions of a ?environmentally hazardous activities? 9 kap 1§ Miljöbalken) shall
mean the discharges of wastewater, solid matter or gas from land, buildings or structures
onto land or into water areas or ground water.
Monitoring and pest control of Fruit flies in Thailand : new knowledge for integrated pest management
Fruit flies (Tephritidae) are serious pests that cause enormous losses for farmers in many countries. The frequent use of insecticides in controlling fruit flies in fruits and vegetable has not resulted in sustainable management of the pest. Problems associated with this complete reliance on chemical control are many residues of insecticides in crops, health problems for farmers, contamination of water and soil, insecticide resistance development and decrease in natural enemy populations. The implementation of control measures that do not imply an added burden to the environment and/or the farmers is urgent. More knowledge about the ecology of fruit flies is the basis for finding new and better ways to control this pest.
Koldioxidavgång vid ekologisk odling på organogen jord
The background of this work is the media discussion about the effect of cultivation on peatsoils on greenhouse gas emissions. It has been argued that row sown and intensivelycultivated crops such as carrots are more likely to emit carbon dioxide than for example grassleys. The association KRAV (an association promoting organic farming) shall, from this yearadapt their environmental policy to be more climate smart and have asked the question if thecultivation of some crops is more climate smart than others? Carbon dioxide emissions fromsoil are due to degradation of organic material and the rate is controlled by microbial activity.The microbial activity is determined by a variety of factors such as temperature, soil organicmatter quality and water content. I have measured the carbon dioxide emission from fourdifferent crops at two different farms.
