North Western Kungsholmen in Stockholm is confronting big changes and Stockholmsstad is planning that the area will be an extended part of the existing structure in centralStockholm. Dwellings and offi ces are built and the population increase heavily. Th isresult in a need to look at how public green areas can develop and be designed. Th epurpose is to design a proposal for a master plan of S:t Göranområdets public greenareas. Exploateringskontoret, Stockholm stad, who has initialized the task, claim thatthere is a need of clarifying and shield the qualities in the green areas of today and howto create new green structure.The problem formulations which are current in this master thesis are:? Is there a need of a distinct identity for the green areas of S:t Göransområdet? If so,how is this created?? How can the green parks and nature areas inside S:t Göransområdet be improved anddevelop?? How can the connections between the green areas inside S:t Göransområdet beclarifi ed and how can they connect to the surroundings?To get inspiration and information for the design this thesis include a study of theincluding parts in the design process.

Hemp is an ancient cultivated plant that came to Sweden in the 1st to 2nd Century and was particularly interesting for use for food, clothing and building materials. Over time, other applications have been developed for hemp, e.g. in energy and health products. Interesting new uses for hemp continue to be identified and this fascinating plant has incredibly versatile applications.In this project, seed production of industrial hemp in Sweden was studied and evaluated. Five different methods are described, four of which are proven under Swedish conditions.

Under år 2007 observerades dålig etablering och svag tillväxt hos blålupin i ett odlingssystemsförsök i Bollerup, Skåne. Förfrukten var hampa. I led med sockerbetor som förfrukt var blålupinetableringen god och visade inga tecken på försämrad uppkomst eller tillväxt. Samma iakttagelse gjordes år 2008. En misstanke väcktes då om att baljväxters etablering och tillväxt blir tillbakasatt av att odlas I en växtföljd med Industrihampa på grund av dess allelopatiska ämnen.

Hampan är en gammal kulturväxt som kom till Sverige på 200 till -300-talet och var framförallt intressant för användning till föda, kläder och byggnadsmaterial. Med tiden har det blivit intressant att även använda hampan till energi och hälsoprodukter. Jag tycker framförallt att det är intressant med de nya användningsområdena och det som fascinerar mig mest med växten är dess otroligt många användningsområden.Syftet med arbetet är att göra en undersökning och utvärdering av hur fröskörd av Industrihampa går till i Sverige. I arbetet har fem olika metoder beskrivits, varav fyra är beprövade under svenska förhållanden. Metoderna är beskrivna utifrån lantbrukarnas erfarenheter.

Hemp is an old agricultural plant and has been used for hundreds of years for making textiles, ropes and other fibre products. In the middle of the last century the Swedish government prohibited all growing of hemp. Natural fibres were replaced by syntetic fibres instead. Today there is a newly awakened interest for using natural fibres from renewable materials. Growing of industrial hemp for fiber is allowed in Sweden again. I want in my Paper give Swedish growers an insight of which harvesting methods that have been tried in Sweden and how they worked.

Hemp is an annual energy crop that fits very well in Swedish crop rotations. It is an interesting crop with many benefits, for example its ability to establish a large quantity of biomass in one year. Hemp is easy to grow and out-competes unwanted weeds through its aggressive growth pattern without the need for pesticides. Interest in growing hemp and other energy crops is currently decreasing, apparently because of high grain prices. These high prices give a higher net profit that we believe could partly cover the cost of hemp cultivation, while the hemp in turn would improve the crop rotation and thus repay its debts in the form of increased yields of other crops. The great disadvantage of hemp is the lack of knowledge about spring harvest of the crop.
