Efter ett förslag om förändring och modernisering av lotsverksamheten lades fram, där det föreslogs att landbaserad lotsning eventuellt införs i framtiden, beslutade vi att undersöka och jämföra åsikter från verksamma inom lotsväsendet. Det finns risk att man förlorar viktiga delar av en väldigt stor kunskapsbank, om man inte tar tillvara på denna genom att beakta lotsarnas synvinklar, vid ett utvecklande och moderniserande av lotssystemet. Syftet var att kartlägga och kategorisera vad det finns för möjligheter och begränsningar med dagens lotssystem i förhållande till landbaserad lotsning. Vi har gjort en kvalitativ, fenomenografisk undersökning, där vi använt oss av intervjuer med öppna frågeställningar. Det visade sig att det var lätt att se begränsningar med ett införande av landbaserad lotsning, främst på grund av att lotsarna inte anser sig kunna utföra sitt arbete på ett tillfredställande sätt.

There is a risk of losing important parts of a very large knowledge-base, if the pilots’ opinions are not taken into consideration, in the event of development of the pilot system. The purpose was to examine and categorize the possibilities and limitation with the pilot system of today in relation to shore-based pilotage. We have performed a qualitative, phenomenografic research, where we have used interviews with open questions. It was easy to find limitations if shore-based pilotage should be implemented, mostly because the pilots did not expect to be able to perform their work in a satisfactory way. The opinions regarding the economical profit differ, but the majority thought that the savings would be nonexistent.

The surface parking lot was a key element in the destruction of traditional public space. It fragmented the fabric of traditional cities, prompting the sprawl of twentieth century cities and suburbs. The automobile permitted the average individual, for the first time in history, to move through public space insulated in a private shell, shielded from strangers and protected from undesirables. Consequently, the role of the sidewalk dwindled. The automobile and the parking lot dominated the pedestrian and the sidewalk, whose diminished vitality further encouraged widespread automobile use. As a result, the parking lot became one of the defining features of the American city. In the United States parking lots are expected to be utilitarian, prevalent and free. Even as traditional public spaces disappeared, there was little demand for new public spaces, particularly not in the parking lot. Through investigations of parking history and public space, this thesis argues that parking lots, by virtue of their visual and physical accessibility, are contemporary public space. Although they are singular in their use, in contrast to the multifaceted street, parking lots are the settings for modern public life. This thesis further asserts that the simple landscape of the utilitarian parking lot can be transformed into complex public space, thereby enlivening the public realm.

Parking a vehicle can often lead to frustration, air pollution and congestion due to limited availability of parking spaces. With increasing population density this problem can certainly increase unless addressed. Parking lots occupy large areas of scarce land resource therefore it is necessary to identify the driving behaviour in a parking lot to improve it further. This Paper tries study the driving behaviour in the parking lot and for this endeavours it conducted direct observation in three parking lots and used GPS data that was collected prior to this study by the University of Dalarna. To evaluate the driving behaviour in the parking lot direct observation was conducted to obtain overall indices of the parking lot vehicles movement. The parking route taken by the driver was compared with the optimal path to identify the driving behaviour in parking lot in terms of distance. The collected data was evaluated, filtered and analysed to identify the route, the distance and the time the vehicle takes to find a parking space. The outcome of the study shows that driving behaviour in the parking lots varies significantly among the parking user where most of the observed vehicles took unnecessary long time to complete their parking. The study shows that 56% of the 430 observed vehicles demonstrated inefficient driving behaviour as they took long driving path rather the than the optimal path. The study trace this behaviour to two factors, first, the absent of parking guidance in the parking lots and the second is the selectivity of the drivers when choosing the parking space. The study also shows that the ability of GPS data to identify the driving behaviour in the parking lots varies based on the time interval and the type of the device that is being used. The small the time interval the more accurate the GPS data in detecting the driving behaviour in the parking lots.

Detta arbetet genomfördes med syftet att undersöka vad svenska hamnlotsar ansåg om kommunikationen med fartygets bryggteam och även utreda uppkomsten av eventuella kommunikationsbrister. I Sverige sker majoriteten av alla fartygsolyckor inom hamnområdet samt den största olyckskategorin är kommunikation. Arbetet genomfördes som en kvalitativ studie där datainsamlingen bestod av semistrukturerade intervjuer med sex svenska hamnlotsar från två olika lotsområden, för att ge en inblick om deras personliga uppfattning gällande kommunikationen med bryggteamet. Resultatet visar att respondenterna anser generellt att kommunikationen är fullt godkänt ombord på fartyg. Men det framgår även att i vissa fall kan språket vara så pass bristfällig att teckenspråk kan vara det enda sättet att kommunicera på. Arbetets slutsats är att språket ombord är den största bidragande faktorn till att kommunikationsbrister uppstår, därför krävs en förbättring.

Brazilian sawn wood exports of tropical species between 2006 and 2011 was over 1.4 billion kilograms and generated a profit of more than US$1.08 billion. Researchers are concerned over regulation of forest tree seed trade. Therefore, were conducted a research to verify seed quality through secure and robust analysis methods aimed at evaluating normal and abnormal seedling sand dead seeds from the validation process for the germination analysis of six forest tree species. Pre - germination tests with species Anadenanthera macrocarpa, Cedrela fissilis, Cedrela odorata, Handroanthus impetiginosus, Peltophorum dubium and Schizolobium parahyba var. amazonicum were conducted in order to establish protocols based on samples of different quality (high, medium and low quality). Seeds were sent to at least six laboratories approved by the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Supply (MAPA) to execute the analysis of germination repeating the protocol method. The standard ISTA procedure was used for statistical analysis of seed germination (normal seedlings): outliers on variances; effects of labs and lots (ANOVA); average test for batch and laboratory (Tukey), repeatability, reproducibility, accuracy and robustness (Mandel h and k statistics). From these tests, effects of labs and lots and repeatability and reproducibility were done to check for abnormalities in seedlings. The dead seeds were observed in graphic scheme. Abnormal seedlings and dead seeds had discrepant results between and within laboratories. The abnormality result is probably due to the difficulty of the analyst to distinguish this characteristic and the dead seed result is probably due to heterogeneity within the plot itself and genetic and environmental variability. However, the methods proposed for testing the seeds of the six species were validated because they presented themselves precise, accurate and robust. / A exportação brasileira de madeira serrada de espécies tropicais entre 2006 e 2011 foi mais de 1,4 bilhões de quilogramas e o lucro, superior a US$ 1,08 bilhões. A preocupação de pesquisadores em regularizar o comércio de sementes de espécies florestais conduzindo pesquisas que informem a qualidade das sementes por meio de métodos de análise seguros e robustos objetivou a avaliação de plântulas normais, anormais e de sementes mortas do processo de validação para a análise da germinação de seis espécies. Pré-testes de germinação com as espécies Anadenanthera macrocarpa, Cedrela fissilis, Cedrela odorata, Handroanthus impetiginosus, Peltophorum dubium e Schizolobium parahyba var. amazonicum foram conduzidos com a finalidade de estabelecer protocolos com base em amostras de qualidade distintas (alta, intermediária e baixa qualidades). As sementes foram enviadas para, no mínimo, seis laboratórios credenciados ao Ministério da Agricultura Pecuária e Abastecimento (MAPA), para que executassem a análise de germinação, repetindo o método do protocolo. O procedimento padrão da ISTA foi usado para análise estatística da germinação das sementes (plântulas normais): outliers nas variâncias; efeitos de laboratórios e lotes (Análise de variância); teste de médias para lote e laboratório (Tukey); repetitividade, reprodutibilidade, exatidão e robustez (estatísticas h e k de Mandel). Desses testes, efeitos dos laboratórios e lotes, e repetitividade e reprodutibilidade foram verificados para anormalidade em plântulas. As sementes mortas foram observadas em esquema gráfico. Plântulas anormais e sementes mortas tiveram resultados discrepantes entre e dentro de laboratórios. Provavelmente esse resultado para anormalidade se deva à dificuldade do analista em distinguir essa característica e em sementes mortas pela heterogeneidade dentro do próprio lote devido à variabilidade genética e ambiental. No entanto, os métodos propostos para teste das sementes das seis espécies foram validadas, pois apresentaram precisão, exatidão e robustez. / Mestre em Agronomia

Este trabalho analisa o processo de expansão urbana do município de Campinas através dos condomínios e loteamentos fechados, a partir dos anos 1970, momento em que são introduzidos os loteamentos fechados em área rural e os condomínios fechados em área urbana, até 2005, quando é realizado um levantamento na Prefeitura Municipal: loteamentos rurais fechados (1974-1980), condomínios fechados (1976-2005) e loteamentos fechados em área urbana (1996-2000). Com base em pesquisa bibliográfica, documental e de anúncios em jornais, são abordadas as estratégias de localização, o respaldo legal e as contradições desse processo, destacando como esses empreendimentos interferem no processo de expansão urbana do município. São identificadas cinco áreas de concentração de condomínios e loteamentos fechados, que são caracterizadas a partir da análise do processo de ocupação e dos padrões sócio-econômicos da população. / This final paper analyse the urban expansion process of the Campinas city through closed condominiuns with private security and private use of public area, from 70\'s, when started up the private use of public area in rural areas and closed condominiuns in urban areas, untill 2005, when a research was done in Campinas Town Hall: private use of public area in rural area (1974-1980), closed condominiuns with private security in urban area (1976-2005) and private use of public area in urban area (1996-2000). Based on a bibliography research, documents and newspaper advertisings, location strategies are brought up, the legal considerations and the contradictions of this process, stressing how these undertakings can influence on the urban expansion process of this city. It was found five different areas of concentration of these undertakings, which are qualified by the ocupation process analyses and the population socio-economics factors.
