Recreation land sales for cottaging have recently taken on a new form, that of marketing lots on a large scale in communities which incorporate on-site recreational and community facilities. The study examines those characteristics of the communities which could create a potential for permanent settlement to occur. Seventeen major developments in the Pacific Northwest were studied, together with a review of other surveys dealing with cottaging. It was found that lots had similar service levels to regular subdivisions, and that this plus the close proximity of commercial and social facilities supplying daily needs makes the communities amenable to permanent settlement. 29 percent of the homes in the communities are occupied permanently. A full assessment of the impacts such permanency would have on regional development is premature. Possible impacts are long term diseconomies, the establishment of new settlement nodes and the subsequent dispersal of government services. The provision of land for recreational cottaging has taken on a new aspect in recent years. The concept of marketing lots in large scale second home recreational communities has been introduced into the Pacific Northwest by major developers. The integration of recreation opportunity with the home follows changing life style trends in North America. The second home recreational community has been developed as a means of tapping a growing market. The marketing requirements of these large scale land sales operations determines in part the nature of the community, and this in turn attracts a different consumer than traditional cottaging does. The communities not only cater to ‘weekend’ recreational demands, but are also providing permanent home sites. This study examines the special features that contribute to a potential for permanent settlement. The impact on regional development is the guiding rationale for undertaking the study of the potential for permanency. Seventeen major communities in British Columbia, Washington and Oregon are investigated, with data gathered from interviews, mailed questionnaires, observation, publicity brochures and government filed prospectuses. In addition, a comparative survey of other cottaging studies was undertaken. Due to constraints of time and logistics, property owners were not contacted. Second home communities are characterized by the large number of lots, high levels of lot service and on site recreation and commercial facilities. It was found that the provision of services and lots similar to those of a regular subdivision, plus the close proximity of commercial and social facilities for everyday needs makes the communities amenable to permanent settlement. Furthermore, it was found that homes built in the communities are also similar to regular homes. 29 percent of homes built in the developments are occupied permanently, and it is estimated by developers that permanency is a growing force. An assessment of the impacts that such permanency would have on regional development is premature as nearly all the communities are less than two years old. The implications for regional planning are discussed briefly. They are the possible long range local diseconomies, the establishment of new settlement nodes and the subsequent dispersal of government services. Public policy alternatives and control measures are suggested, together with further research required. / Applied Science, Faculty of / Community and Regional Planning (SCARP), School of / Graduate

Under hösten 2020 och våren 2021 har jag fördjupat mig i mitt arbete att bli en bättre låtskrivare. Eftersom jag tidigare inte analyserat musik genom att ställa utförliga frågor och ta reda på information om en låtskrivares verk så ansåg jag detta arbete som ett tillfälle att ge mig fler redskap för mitt fortsatta låtskrivande.  Syftet med detta examensarbete är att fördjupa mitt arbete i låtskrivning, genom att analysera och försöka efterlikna musik av ett antal låtskrivare inom country- och americanagenren. Jag har under arbetet analyserat 20 låtar av fyra låtskrivare och artister inom countrygenren. Jag har valt att analysera alla artisters verk på samma sätt. Jag skrev en tabell för att fylla i information om deras, vad jag har valt att kalla; låt-ingredienser . Efter min analysprocess skrev jag tre låtar utifrån mina analyser som skulle representera vardera låtskrivare.  Arbetet har resulterat i tre låtar som representerar de fyra låtskrivarna. Jag har reflekterat kring mina tillvägagångssätt som lett till de klingande resultaten, genom att ifrågasätta min egen analysförmåga och även analyserat kring de element där jag utvecklats. I dag skriver jag mer utarbetade och genomtänkta låtar där den främsta utvecklingen varit ackord, historieberättande och vissa textmässiga redskap jag tidigare inte bemästrat, samt att jag har fått en bättre analysförmåga.

The objective of this study was to determine the influence of market type and sampling time on Salmonella and Listeria prevalence and microbiological quality of 540 beef, pork, and whole chicken samples collected in 6 supermarkets (SM), 6 indoor markets (IM), and 6 open markets (OM) at opening (T0) and 4 h after the opening (T4) in Vietnam. Salmonella and Listeria prevalence ranged from 30.4 to 71.0% and 56.6 to 99.9 %, respectively, in beef, pork, and chicken in Vietnam. Aerobic bacteria counts ranged from 10.5 to 11.6 log CFU/g, whereas, E. coli and coliform counts ranged from 7.2 to 11.4 log CFU/g in beef, pork, and chicken in Vietnam. E. coli counts were influenced by the interaction of market type and sampling time in beef and pork. Market characteristic data that were considered relevant to microbiological safety of fresh meat and poultry products were collected for individual samples.

Background. The use of mobile technology has become more prevalent within the delivery of healthcare (m-health) within the developing world. Its use is considered convenient and innovative, but little is known about its effectiveness. Although promising, there is a lack of literature pertaining to its overall effectiveness. Purpose. This study takes the perspectives of threes groups of key stakeholders to describe the m-health service and the perceived benefits of using the mobile health technology implemented by BRAC in the urban slums of Korail, within the capital city: Dhaka, Bangladesh. Methods. The study uses an exploratory descriptive case study design. The methodology includes demographic questionnaires, and semi-structured interviews. The sample included three groups: the BRAC developers, the community health workers (CHWs) and the villagers. Conclusion. This study described the perspectives of those involved with the service, defining the m-health service as well as highlighting four major themes: strengths and benefits, knowledge and awareness, challenges and barriers and areas of improvement. The emerging themes found in the study provide paradigms of what to expect when implementing pilot m-health innovation and suggests direction for growth and sustainability. / Thesis / Master of Science (MSc) / The purpose of the study is to understand the new mobile health (m-health) service started by BRAC in the urban slums of Dhaka Bangladesh. This is carried out by asking questions to the people who use the service the most: the BRAC developers, the community health workers (CHWs) and the villagers.
