A medium scale map of the vegetation-types and their distribution in the Kärkevagge valley, located in the northern Lapland has been made based on photo-interpretation of aerial infra-red colour photographs (scale l : 60 000). Following vegetation types have been identified: High altitude vegetation, two types of wind heaths: Dryas octopetala and Empetrum hermaphroditum respectively. Three main ty

In this study, physical properties of a small glacier in Kebnekaise Mountains, northern Sweden, are investigated in order to evaluate its erosionai capacity. By definition, glacial cirques are cut out by erosion by cirque glaciers. In areas characterized by low precipitation and pemafrost, small glaciers have very low erosional capacity. Is it possible that a small glacier can excavate a cirque fo

Efter ett förslag från Norsk Polarinstitutt (NPRI) utvecklades en ankrad, uppåttittande sonar (ULS) av Christian Michelsen Institut i Bergen. Genom att kombinera istjockleksdata från detta instrument med isdriftsdata, vanligtvis från ett par satellitbilder, kan man få en uppskattning av isvolymtransporten, inom ett lokalt område. Denna rapport beskriver den allmänna bakgrunden, verktyg och en metoOn a suggestion from the Norwegian Polar Research Institute (NPRI) a moored upward looking sonar (ULS) has been developed by the Christian Michelsen Institute in Bergen, Norway. Ice draft data from this instrument combined with ice drift vector data, normally from a pair of satellite images, can give an estimate of the ice volume transport in a local area. This report describes the general backgro

Stranderosion har länge utgjort ett stort problem vid många av Skånes sandiga kuster. Erosionen har varit speciellt svår vid Löderups strandbad. Det undersökta området består av en 2.6 km lång kustremsa. I de västra delarna där samhället ligger har stränderna varit skyddade av strandskoningar sedan mitten av 1970-talet. Trots dessa skydd har flera hus blivit förstörda under stormar de senaste deceSevere beach erosion has for long been a great problem for the house owners at Löderup seaside resort in Scania, south Sweden. Several houses have been destroyed during storms the last decades, despite constructions of sea walls. The aim of the investigation has been to describe the status and changes of the coastline during one year from April 1991 to April 1992, to determine the extent of the co

This is a survey of the environmental impact of the eight major waste disposal sites in Malmöhus län, Sweden, as viewed from a hydrogeological perspective.

The use of business intelligence is getting more and more widespread. The next step in many cases is to enable a vast amount of employees to utilize this information and tools. This approach is generally described as business intelligence for the masses. By doing so, problems arise when casual users, who are not familiar with advanced business intelligence tools, are supposed to use these in their

Infiltration capacity was measured with a double ring infiltrometer at 50 locations in two drainage basins in southern Zimbabwe. The infiltration capacity was tested against various factors recorded at each location to find relevant factors to use for mapping purposes. The factors recorded were land use, biotope, bedrock, landform, siteposition, ground cover, slope, aspect, organic content and tex

A 3m ground-based optical telescope, with active and adaptive optics, is a powerful and versatile research tool. This type of telescopes is affordable and manageable also for communities with limited previous telescope experience. While there are many scientific and technical reports regarding modern 3m class telescopes, there is no document giving a comprehensive description. This paper is an att

This thesis begins in the view of AG Geelhoed about the right for the States to allocate the right to tax between them and that discrimination resulting from this does not fall with in scope of the free movement provisions of the Treaty. In an article by the CFE in 2006 a conclusion is drawn that the ECJ is starting to fall in line with Geelhoed’s reasoning. The aim of this thesis is to see if the

The purpose of this study is to explore how authentic online brands are created when the actual brand building process can lead to an inauthentic product.

A fundamental freedom in the European Union is the freedom of establishment. As part of the development of the internal market, it is essential to simplify the possibilities for EU-citizens who wish to establish their business within the internal market. Cross-border balancing within group companies is a way of helping companies to use the internal markets full potential in a more effective way. T

Om en varumärkesinnehavare har intresse av att upprätthålla registreringen av sitt varumärke måste detta användas på ett vis, vilket uppfyller det så kallade användningstvångets krav. Dessa krav är i huvudsak desamma oavsett om varumärkesanvändning bedöms mot bakgrund av EU:s varumärkesdirektiv eller EU:s varumärkesförordning. Syftet är att i denna uppsats ge läsaren insikt i hur en varumärkesinneIf a proprietor of a trade mark has an interest in maintaining the registration of its trade mark, the proprietor must use the trade mark in such a manner that it constitutes genuine use. It should be noted that the requirements of use are essentially the same regardless of whether the assessment of use is done in light of the EU trade mark directive or the EU regulation concerning Community trade

I många år har massmediala fenomen såsom modetidningar haft oerhörd läsarpopularitet. Särkilt i kretsar om yngre kvinnor ser man ideligen att just modetidningar är väldigt eftertraktade. Mina ambitioner med den här utredningen var främst att titta närmare på orsaker som ligger bakom denna popularitet, och dessutom att försöka belysa hur en konsument påverkas genom att läsa tidningar av den här typ
