Syfte och frågeställning Studiens syfte är att undersöka hur bilden och aktiveringen av friluftsliv ser ut hos dagens förstaårsstudenter vid idrottslärarprogrammen i Sverige och hur de upplevt sin egen friluftsundervisning under åren i skolan. Frågeställningarna som undersöks i studien är: Hur ser förstaårsstudenter på sitt eget friluftsliv? Vilka minnen har förstaårets idrottslärarstudenter av friluftsundervisningen från ungdomsskolan? Vilka drivkrafter påverkar lärande och utövande av friluftsliv för idrottlärarstudenter? Metod Studien har genomförts på förstaårsstudenter vid de nationella utbildningarna till idrottslärare. Där 90 studenter deltog i en kvantitativ enkätstudie för att ge en större bild över hur aktiveringen och den upplevda friluftsundervisningen var under skolåren. Vilket kompletterades med 6 stycken intervjuer, där en närmare bild kring motivet till friluftsliv undersöktes i form av upplevelser och känslor från både fritid och skolår. Resultat Resultatet från datainsamlingen visar att två tredjedelar introducerats till friluftsliv genom familj och det näst intill alla upplevde någon form av friluftsundervisning under sina skolår. Skogen är den dominerande platsen för skolans undervisning och aktiviteterna orientering, skridskor och skogsvandringar sker. Sett till eget friluftsutövande är det i skogen aktivering för friluftsutövande sker i form av vandringar och motion i elljusspår. Känslor kopplade till utövandet är lugn och harmoni tillsammans med drivkrafterna att få uppleva och tillhöra en gemenskap. Slutsats Resultatet tyder på att fortsatt utövande går i linje med positiva upplevelser, vilket återspeglas i formerna av naturmöten från skolan efterliknas i det egna utövandet. Studien pekar på att den främsta anknytningen till friluftsliv är skogen vilket även är den grad (till störst del) elever möter genom friluftsundervisningen i skolan. Motivet till utövandet är upplevelse genom positiva minnena och den harmoni, lugn och stresslindrande effekt naturen för fram. / Aim The purpose of this study is to investigate the depiction and activation of outdoor life looks like in today's first-year students at the sports teacher programs in Sweden and how they experienced their own outdoor education during their schoolyears. The issues that will be examined are: How do first-year students own vision of their outdoor life look like? What memories do first-year students have of outdoor education from their school years? What forces affect the learning and practice of outdoor life for physical education teacher students? Method The study was conducted on first-year students at the national educations for PE-teachers. Where 90 students conducted a quantitative questionnaire to provide a wide picture of how the own activation and the experienced outdoor education was during the school years. Which was supplemented with six interviews, where a closer look at the motive for outdoor life was examined in the form of experiences and feelings from both leisure and school years. Results The results from that data showed that two thirds were introduced to outdoor life through family and almost everyone experienced outdoor education during their school years. The forest is the dominant place in school and the activities orienteering, skating and hikes take place. In terms of own outdoor activities, it ́s the forest where most activation takes place through hiking and exercise. Emotions connected to the outdoor life are peace and harmony together with the driving forces to experience and belonging to a group. Conclusions This indicates that continued practice is in line with positive experiences, which is reflected in the fact that the forms of nature encounters from the school are imitated in one's own practice. The study indicates that the main connection to outdoor life is the forest, which is also what most students meet through outdoor education at school. Motive for outdoor life is experience through positive memories and the harmony, calm and stress-relieving effect nature bring.

For centuries, it has been known that nature has a positive impact on human health and well-being. Environmental goal number nine, Outdoor life for good public health, is one of the environmental goals that the Swedish government has decided on until 2020. The goal is to make the natural and cultural landscape more accessible to citizens and increase good public health. Mental illness is relatively common today at all ages, every individual can be affected. Feeling safe and having adapted accessibility in nature is a major significant factor in how the stay is experienced and how it affects the body's mental state. The right to public access we have in Sweden gives us the opportunity to, with respect, stay out in nature. The study's purpose is to develop the possibility of nature experiences in protected areas of Skåne County. Physical activity on prescription (FaR) uses nature walks in nature reserves as a method. The method of the study to get the result was using a checklist out in the feld. The study results show that there is significant development potential for FaR in protected areas of Skåne County.

This report presents the conceptual development of an off-road cargo trailer designed for usage in conjunction with bicycles when camping. The objective of the study is to address the limitations of existing cargo trailers and thereafter create a trailer that efficiently can navigate off-road terrains while carrying various types of cargo. The research includes collecting data regarding user behaviours and desired functions an optimal trailer should obtain and was translated into user requirements. The result demonstrates the successful development of an off-road cargo trailer on a conceptual level that offers innovative solutions and improved load-carrying capacity in comparison to the available market, while considering factors such as weight, manoeuvrability, and ease of use. This research contributes to the field by presenting data, which can be used in development and a comprehensive solution that expands the possibilities for bicycle-based cargo transportation in off-road environments. Future work can include further refinements to optimise the trailer’s performance and address additional user requirements based on the data presented.

The purpose of this essay is to examine how the adventure is accomplished as a project, and how this is vindicated, through science or by other means. The scientists of today are not seen as adventurers or heroes, at least not as they used to, but this image lives on as a sort of role or social institution, that can be used by anyone and in any purpose. These roles could be seen as a type of rules for the modern adventurer, and act both as a limit or a possibility. This essay compares two North Pole travelers, Ola Skinnarmo and Salomon August Andrée. / Denna uppsats syfte är att undersöka hur man genomför äventyret som ett projekt och hur detta legitimeras, genom vetenskap eller på annat sätt. Vetenskapsmännen ses idag inte som äventyrare eller hjältar, i alla fall inte på samma sätt som förr, men den bilden lever kvar i form av en "rollbeskrivning" eller en sorts "social institution" som kan användas av vem som helst och i alla möjliga syften. Dessa"rollbeskrivningar"skulle kunna ses som en sorts "spelregler" för dagens moderna äventyrare och verka både begränsande och möjliggörande. I uppsatsen jämförs två polarfarare, Ola Skinnarmo och Salomon August Andrée, och deras respektive expeditioner.

I denna studie har glampingkonceptet studerats utifrån ett ekologiskt hållbarhetsperspektiv som fördjupat sig i svenska glampingföretags praktiska arbetsstrategier för att värna om miljön som glampingen äger rum i, samt hur hållbarhet är framträdande i aktörernas marknadsföring. Vårt intresse till studiens ämne baserades på nyfikenhet kring naturturismens ökande efterfrågan och hur det kommer att påverka den svenska naturen. Vi valde därför att fokusera på det naturbaserade turismfenomenet glamping, som förespås bli en efterfrågad produkt. Vi genomförde semistrukturerade intervjuer med etablerade glampingaktörer i Sverige för att samla kunskap om hur de arbetar för att driva en hållbar turismprodukt utan att överexploatera naturens miljö. Vidare studerades också hur hållbarhet framställs i aktörernas marknadsföring då tidigare forskare har konstaterat att glamping är en hållbar variant av naturturism. För att studera likheter och skillnader mellan aktörernas marknadsföring utfördes strukturerade observationer av varje företags Instagram och webbplats. Studien genererade ett resultat som påvisade att de intervjuade aktörerna använde likartade metoder för att värna om platserna som glamping utövas på. Däremot fanns det skillnader i företagens marknadsföring och hur de använde och framställde hållbarhet. / In this study, the glamping concept has been studied from an ecological sustainability perspective, focusing on Swedish glamping companies’ practical strategies to protect the environment in which glamping takes place, and how sustainability is prominent in their marketing. Our interest in this subject was based on curiosity about the growing demand of nature-based tourism and how it will affect the Swedish nature. Therefore, we chose to focus on the nature-based tourism phenomenon glamping, which researchers say will become a high-demand product. We interviewed established glamping companies in Sweden to gather knowledge about how they work to run a sustainable tourism product without over-exploiting the nature and environment. We also studied whether and how sustainability is produced in the marketing as previous researchers have found that glamping is a sustainable alternative of natural tourism. In order to study similarities and differences between the companies marketing, observations were made of each company’s Instagram and website. The study generated a result that demonstrated that the companies used similar methods and strategies to safeguard the environment were glamping is practiced. However, there were differences in the companies’ marketing and how they used and produced sustainability.

This study will trace the history and development of a new idea in recreation, that of the Junior Sportsmen’s Club. This program was first worked out by the writer ar Lodi, California, while he was employed by the Lodi Recreation Department, and has in a few short years spread throughout the United States. The writer feels the inasmuch as the project has been an actual field experiment, his study should be of value to other communities or to other leaders in recreation. This provides the reason as well as the justification for this study.

Syftet med studien är att undersöka hur TencelTM och merinoull bäst kombineras i en stickad frottéstruktur ämnad för en lager-2 produkt. Den stickade strukturen har funktionella krav gällande god fukttransport, nötningsbeständighet och antipilling. Funktionskraven kommer att prövas med standardiserade tester. Ytterligare kommer studien undersöka om hållbarheten för lager-2-tyg skulle kunna förbättras. En design research method används för att skapa tre frottéstickade trikåstrukturer, alla med olika kombinationer av lyocell och merinoull. Resultaten visade att alla strukturer hade relativt goda förmåga att transportera fukt, dock stod S-M-T ut som bäst, tätt följt av T-M. Bra nötningsbeständighet utmärktes i M-T och T-M, medan S-M-T presterade sämst. Slutligen visade ett pillingstest ett jämnt resultat mellan alla stickade strukturer, T-M fick dock ett något högre snitt än de andra två. Resultaten i relation till hållbarhet visade att ingen av de stickade strukturerna var ensamt signifikant bättre än de andra. Däremot ger studien ett förslag för framtida forskning när det gäller att samspunna garnet placeras på ena sidan, medan merinoull på den andra. / This study aims to investigate how TencelTM and merino wool are best combined in a knitted terry structure modified for layer-2. The knitted structure has functional requirements, which are in regards to good moisture transport (wicking) capacity, abrasion resistances and anti-pilling. The functional requirements will be tested and with the help of the result the study will further investigate if the sustainability of layer-2 fabric could improve. A design research method is applied to create three terry knitted fabric structures, all with different combinations of lyocell and merino wool. The three fabric structures are then assets for the functional requirements through ISO Standards and AATCC tests. The results showed that all structures had relatively good wicking properties, however S-M-T stood out as the best, closely followed by T-M. Good abrasion resistance was noticeable mostly in M-T and T-M, whereas S-M-T performed worst. Lastly, a pilling test showed an even result between all knitted structures, T-M received however a slightly higher average than the other two. The results in relation to sustainability showed that none of the knitted structures were significantly better than the others alone. However, a suggestion for future research is made in regards to the co-spun yarn being placed on one side, while merino wool on the other.
