Gender equality hand in hand with gender research The middle managers come from twelve of Fiber Optic Valley’s member organisations in the region between Sundsvall and Gävle with its centre in Hudiksvall. The region is characterised by the hard- working community spirit of its former ironworking heritage, with traditional organisational patterns and few women in management positions. This is also a region which lacks highly-educated employ- ees. If you then ignore 50 percent, you are halving your potential recruitment pool.

  • Fibre Optic Valley: High-Speed Networking for Northern Sweden
    Fibre Optic Valley: high-speed networking for northern Sweden Norra, Sweden SYNTHESIS Fibre Optic-Valley1 is a cluster, or arena2, for the development and testing of products and services based on fibre optics technologies. It is situated on the north-east coast of Sweden between Gävle and Sundsvall, with its centre in the town of Hudiksval. Launched in 2000, and co-funded by the European Regional Development Fund, a Swedish cluster programme, and regional public and private sponsors, the cluster rapidly made a name for itself at both national and European levels. By the end of 2006, 230 new jobs had been created in the region, and about 500 nationally thanks to the activities of Fibre Optic Valley. Until the end of the 1990s, Ericsson Network Technologies with other large companies in the region had helped to create a favourable climate for optic fibre development. However, a severe reduction in market demand led the companies lay people off and put their development projects on hold. In order to maintain the fibre optic expertise and resources within the region, the municipality of Hudiksvall, the regional university Mitthögskolan and the local trade and industry organisation Via Futura joined forces and attracted the research institute Acreo to the region. This led to the launch of the InfoCom project in 1999, which was later renamed Fibre Optic Valley. The overall objective of Fibre Optic Valley is to create a world-class 'breeding climate' in this technology field for researchers, innovators and entrepreneurs, thus attracting knowledge and actors to the region in order to create synergies and benefits for all involved.

  • Prospects for Biodiesel in Gävleborg County
    No 5 Prospects for biodiesel in Gävleborg County Feedstocks and production Pontus Norell © Pontus Norell 2019 Research Report No. 5 urn:nbn:se:hig:diva-29659 Distribution: Gävle University Press SE-801 76 Gävle, Sweden [email protected] Prospects for biodiesel in Gävleborg County: Feedstocks and production Pontus Norell Faculty of Engineering and Sustainable Development Department of Building Engineering, Energy Systems and Sustainability Science Executive summary The increasing emissions from the transport sector have become a global concern as these emis- sions contribute to climate change. One way to reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from the transport sector is to replace fossil fuels with biofuels. The diesel engine is important for transports in society, especially since it is more efficient and more powerful compared with the gasoline engine. Therefore, replacing fossil diesel with biodiesel is one feasible option for achieving short and long-term emission targets. Fatty acid methyl esters (FAME) and hydrotreated vegetable oils (HVO) are the two kinds of biodiesel being used in Sweden. The raw materials are vegetable and animal oils and fats and the production method is esterification for FAME and hydrotreatment for HVO. HVO is more similar to fossil diesel and higher blends can be used in existing diesel en- gines if the vehicle manufacturer has approved it whereas FAME requires vehicle modifications when used in higher blends. Both HVO and FAME can be used as drop-in fuel with fossil diesel, but only up to 7% for FAME according to regulations. The Swedish consumption of HVO has increased rapidly in recent years. In 2017 it was more than 20% of the total globally produced HVO that year.

  • Nature and Culture Excursions in Gästrikland and Hälsingland
    OUT AND ABOUT Nature and culture excursions in Gästrikland and Hälsingland Haller's Apple-Moss Foreword The countryside offers us something for all the senses; aromas, sounds, beauty, the feeling of the wind on the skin and – not least – movement for the body. Relaxation and recuperation or action and adrenalin! Regardless of whether you are picking mushrooms, hiking, canoeing or cycling. The county of Gävleborg offers an exciting natural environment with primeval forests, impressive mountains and twittering lake bird habitats. A glimpse of the sea in the distance. And our cultural offering is just as varied with hospitable Hälsingland farming villages, iron age burial sites and rustic industrial areas. Our county houses 190 nature and culture reserves and two national parks. We have made a selection from these and tried to find the most special excursions. Most of the excursions in this guide are adapted for visitors. So if you are a nature novice you can begin with visits to areas with signposted trails, ready-made shelter from the elements and rest areas. If, on the other hand you want to experience more untouched, inaccessible countryside, we have also selected some reserves for the more experienced traveller. With OUT AND ABOUT we want to show that there are many excellent areas to encounter nature, very close to where you are. So, pack your lunch box and get out there tomorrow! Hopefully you will have a day filled with experiences you will remember for a long time.

  • West, East Or South, Which Railwaystation in Hudiksvall Is
    West, East or South, which Railway Station in Hudiksvall is Preferable? A Predictive Study of Future Climate Scenarios from an Accessibility Perspective Sofia Moberg Master Thesis Spatial planning and development, Umeå university Spring 2021 Author: Sofia Moberg Contact: [email protected] Master thesis (30 ects) Program: Master in Spatial Planning and Development Department of Geography Umeå University Supervisor: Magnus Strömgren Abstract in English An expansion of the railway, East Coast Line is essential in order to ensure transportation of passenger and goods back and forth to Northern Sweden. The preliminary studies of the planned expansion to a double track have identified vulnerabilities linked to how our climate changes. Because of these risks and vulnerabilities, the railway station in Hudiksvall needs to be relocated or the Current station needs to be adapted to potential future climate scenarios. Furthermore, social sustainability and the aspect of accessibility is also a vital perspective to consider during the development of railway infrastructure. This study compares the three different station locations from an accessibility perspective and from different climate scenarios through Network Analyst in ArcGIS Pro. To visualize future climate scenarios, two RCP-scenarios (Representative Concentration Pathways) are considered, which is RCP 4.5 and RCP8.5. Additionally, the GTFS specification in ArcGIS Pro is used to model public transit to these railway stations in an accessibility perspective. Because one strategy when developing the East Coast Line is to increase the active transportation in comparison to car transportation. Results from this study indicates that the Current station, which is located in a coastal area will be worst affected of potential future climate scenarios from an accessibility perspective.
