Since the 1980s, there has been a change in the way reforestation is being carried out in the south of Sweden. Landowners have to an ever greater extent chosen to plant Norway spruce (Picea abies) independent of the fact that it would be better, due to local conditions, to plant Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris). The reason behind this is that Scots pine has a higher rate of game damage than Norway spruce. The damage is mainly caused by elk (Alces alces) and roe deer (Capreolus capreolus). Since there are ways to manage forests with a balance between wildlife and tree production, a collaboration was started between the forest industry and the Swedish Forest Agency (Skogsstyrelsen). It is called” More Scots pine” (Mera tall) and the aim is to change the attitudes of and to teach landowners what can be done to decrease game damage and how to succeed with reforestation when using Scots pine. This study is a comparison of regeneration areas that were harvested during the 2002/03 season and the 2012/13 season, to see if there is a change of landowners choice of plant species. The result of this study showed that there’s an increase of the proportion of Scots pine on regeneration sites, 19,5% in 2002/3 to 29,9% in 2012/13. There were also changes in site adaption in regeneration sites, 12,5 % adapted sites in 2002/03, to 28,6% in 2012/13. Game damage was measured in regeneration sites from season 2012/13 on 24 % of Scots pine plants treated with game repellent and on 35 % of the untreated plants. Game damage on spruce measured 11 % on treated plants and 47 % of untreated plants.

Cette recherche commence par examiner le contexte sociopolitique de la période postindépendance en Équateur. Elle évalue également la position singulière de Juan León Mera sur la scène politique ainsi que littéraire face aux questions de la construction de l'identité nationale et de l'incorporation de l'Indien. Ensuite, une analyse du roman Cumandá est entreprise afin de permettre une meilleure appréciation de sa valeur à la fois politique et poétique. Finalement, ce travail est suivi d'une traduction française des deux premiers chapitres de Cumandá ainsi que d'un commentaire sur les choix et difficultés de traduction. Ce projet a pour objet de redonner vie au premier roman nationaliste de l'Équateur à travers sa traduction et de montrer sa pertinence actuelle. This work begins by overlooking Ecuador's socio-political context during its period of post-independence. It also examines Juan León Mera's instrumental role as a politician as well as a writer in developing Ecuador's national identity and inclusion of its native population. Furthermore, a study of Mera's novel Cumandá is undertaken in order to illustrate the novel's political and poetic values. Lastly, this work is followed by a translation of the novel's first two chapters and a commentary discussing the difficulties encountered in rendering a French translation of this text and the choices made by the translator. The objective of this work is to revive Ecuador's first nationalistic novel through its translation and to demonstrate its relevance in today's society. / Translation Studies

On November 17, 1980, twenty Mormon women and one man were arrested on criminal trespassing charges after chaining themselves to the Bellevue, Washington LDS Temple gate. The news media extensively covered the event due to the shocking photos of middle-aged housewives, covered in large chains, holding protest signs and being escorted to police cars. These women were part of the group Mormons for the Equal Rights Amendment (MERA) and were protesting the LDS Church’s opposition to the ERA. The LDS Church actively opposed the ERA and played an important role in influencing the vote in key states leading to its eventual failure. However, ERA literature generally ignores the LDS Church and their influence, instead attributing the ERA’s failure to lack of appeal to lower class and minority women, the ratification process, and confusing messaging about the amendment. Literature that does discuss the LDS Church and its opposition to the ERA fails to tell the story of the small, but bold and attention grabbing group of Mormon women who organized a campaign in direct opposition to the position of their church. This thesis begins with an evaluation of MERA’s use of sacred space in protest, and their portrayal in the media. It then explores how MERA re-appropriated LDS hymns, rituals and language to assert their power and express discontent with the church’s position on ERA, and concludes with an evaluation of the institutional and social consequences MERA members faced as a result of their activism.
