Care of older people in the future : about generations experiences and conceptions
No full textAuthor: Nancy Haglund & Liselotte Ivarsson Title: Care of older people in the future, about generations experiences and conceptions [Translated title]. Assessor: Jan Petersson This study examine generations in three different age–attitudes towards elderly care in the future. Today there is an ongoing debate in Sweden concerning the care of older people. The main focus in the debate is that there is cut down on personnel and resources in the care of the elderly. We have focused on the Kalmar region, since our intention is not to compare with other regions. The study is based on individual experiences and conceptions of the people that participated in this examine, in order to link it to differences and similarities from a generational perspective. To carry out this task, we used a qualitative approach with semi-structured individual interviews. The result is our complied themes from the interviews. The shared beliefs of all participants were that they felt concerned about the factors that can influence the future of their elderly´s care and wellbeing. Key words: Care of older people, generations, differences, similarities

The Impact of Tourism on Curacao's Economy: A Scenario Approach
No full textCuraçao is an autonomous countrywithin the Kingdom of the Netherlands. The governmentwants to support tourism development. However,various development strategies are possible. This articlepresents four scenarios of marketing and investmentstrategies that will affect the number of tourists fromThe Netherlands and North America (USA and Canada)in different ways. A multiplier model was used to calculatethe economic impacts of the four scenarios. Bydoing so, this article shows how the government’s decisionto support particular marketing and investmentstrategies may have certain outcomes for the number ofjobs in Curaçao’s tourism industry
Landscape genetics: applications to the agricultural habitat
No full textThis thesis describes the work I have done during my Ph.D. studies at the Department of Bioscience, Aarhus University, under the supervision of Volker Loeschcke and Liselotte Wesley Andersen. This project is part of a larger project (REFUGIA project) aiming at understanding the effect of pesticide use and agricultural intensity in Denmark on a variety of species using genetic, ecological and simulation tools. The main aim of my part of this project was the investigation of the effects of pesticide use and agricultural intensity on wild animal species in the agricultural landscape, with particular focus on testing the hypothesis that organic fields act as genetic reservoirs for the re-colonization of organic fields
Effects of Land Management Strategies on the Dispersal Pattern of a Beneficial Arthropod
No full textSeveral arthropods are known to be highly beneficial to agricultural production. Consequently it is of great relevance to study the importance of land management and land composition for the conservation of beneficial aphid-predator arthropod species in agricultural areas. Therefore our study focusing on the beneficial arthropod Bembidion lampros had two main purposes: I) identifying the physical barriers to the species’ dispersal in the agricultural landscape, and II) assessing the effect of different land management strategies (i.e. use of pesticides and intensiveness) on the dispersal patterns. The study was conducted using genetic analysis (microsatellite markers) applied to samples from two agricultural areas (in Denmark) with different agricultural intensity. Land management effects on dispersal patterns were investigated with particular focus on: physical barriers, use of pesticide and intensity of cultivation. The results showed that Bembidion lampros disperse preferably through hedges rather than fields, which act as physical barriers to gene flow. Moreover the results support the hypothesis that organic fields act as reservoirs for the re-colonization of conventional fields, but only when cultivation intensity is low. These results show the importance of non-cultivated areas and of low intensity organic managed areas within the agricultural landscape as corridors for dispersal (also for a species typically found within fields). Hence, the hypothesis that pesticide use cannot be used as the sole predictor of agriculture’s effect on wild species is supported as land structure and agricultural intensity can be just as important
