Syftet med studien var att undersöka och beskriva vilka som använder spelapplikationen Turf i sin smart phone, hur de använder applikationen, samt om den kan stimulera till fysisk aktivitet bland användarna. Turf är ett spel där det gäller att erövra virtuella utomhuszoner med hjälp av telefonens GPSoch som kan ses som en blandning av orientering och ?herre på täppan? i digital form. En kvantitativ metod användes för att få svar på frågeställningarna och en e-postenkät skapades och användes i datainsamlingen. Resultatet från de 49 undersökta Turfanvändarna visade att de återfanns i ett brett ålderspann.

In Sweden today many municipalities and sport clubs chooses to build artificial Turfs becauseof the increased period of using the Turfs during the year and less maintenance requirementsthan for natural grass fields. What could be problematic with artificial Turfs is the rubbergranules used as infill material in the Turf matt. The rubber granules are often made fromrecycled tires, which may contain for the human health and the environment, harmful substances.This was the reason why the Swedish Chemicals Agency commissioned a statusreport in 2006 which, among other things, concluded that the environmental and health risksassociated with granules made from recycled tiers in artificial Turf fields were small, but thatthere could be a local environmental hazard. The purpose and objective of the risk assessmentwas to identify how artificial Turf plans granules can affect recipients in the area closeto the pitches and provide input to reduce the spread of metals and substances harmful forboth human health and the surrounding environment. The work was divided into three parts:(1) the construction of artificial Turf pitches and their material content, the spread of granulatesoutside the fields and disposal of artificial Turf pitches.

For Skattkärr IF a Turf field with warming has been projected to increase field?s utilization hours and to have a longer period for athletes to perform their activities outdoors. The technique chosen to heat the plan is a type of a geothermal heating system without a heat pump. The brine, which is water with 30% ethanol, collects heat from the borehole and discharges it to a coil in the field. There is at position 11 boreholes but it is planned to increase the number to 31, which is the design for the facility.

Even if the main purpose is to decide if the companies profitability and financial position is a determining factor for its growth, the purpose is to determine if there are any differences between big and small companies in there economical positions then they grow, in the selected industry. This thesis is mainly a quantitative study. The selected industry for the study is extraction of Turf. The financial measurement that most clearly differ the growing companies from the not growing companies or the companies that didn?t change there amount of employees was the returns of the companies own capital.

Employers are becoming more and more aware of that the internal communication between employees is the reason why organizations are being held alive and also what impact the office environment has on employees work performances and their communication. The aim of our study was to gain an understanding of what significance an office's spatial design has for the communication between employees and managers in the workplace. We have through qualitative interviews with managers and employees from different business cases gotten a perception of their ways of communicating with each other. The results showed that employees and leaders thought that they shared the same picture of what their communication was like in reality, how they thought their ways of marking their territory in the office was understood and respected and what their opinions and expectations of how the communication between them and their leaders should be like. These results were then analyzed in consideration with relevant theory and previous research in the disciplines of office environment and communication studies.The main conclusions that have been drawn from the analysis are that the work environment's design can be both positive and negative at the same time and that what should be focused on is the leaders' communication. The leaders and their employees have to communicate more about their communication between them so thart misunderstandings can be avoided in the office environment - and therefore become more effective..

I och med de klimatförutsättningar som råder i Sverige har konstgräs som underlag inom elitfotbollen fått allt större betydelse. För att kunna garantera en god spelkvalitet och värna om både spelarnas upplevelsekänsla och säkerhet är det inte längre naturgräs som är det bästa alternativet på en del håll i landet. Vilka är de övergripande skillnaderna underlagen emellan vad gäller anläggning, skötsel, upplevelsekänsla och skaderisk? Examensarbetet består av två delar, en inledande litteraturstudie där anläggnings- och skötselaspekterna tas upp samt en mer personlig del där de allsvenska spelarna bidrar med sina åsikter om spel och upplevelsekänsla på naturgräs respektive konstgräs. Resultatet visar att det är svårt att fastställa en specifik ekonomisk skillnad både ur anläggningsavseende och ur skötselavseende då det är så många olika faktorer som spelar in.

De stora fotbollsligorna i Europa spelar höst till vår, medan vi i Sverige spelar vår till höst. Då vi i Sverige kan se problematik med låg täckningsgrad och slitna gräsmattor under vår säsong, vad händer om vi skulle spela mellan höst till vår? UEFA ställer krav på att fotbollsplanen skall vara spelbar för alla matcher under säsongen. Problematiken på svenska fotbollsarenor under vintern är den låga temperaturen och dålig ljustillgång kombinerat med mekaniskt slitage. Syftet är då att belysa problematiken med att upprätthålla en tillfredställande spelkvalitet på naturgräs i fotbollsarenor. Uppsatsen avgränsar sig genom att behandla problematiken i Skandinavien och främst södra Sverige. Ekonomi, konstgräsbanor, dränering och värmetillförsel berörs endast ytligt.
