  • Comparative Economic Value Estimation of Matsutake Mushroom and Timber Production in Swedish Scots Pine Forest
    Comparative economic value estimation of matsutake mushroom and timber production in Swedish Scots pine forest Kenji Nagasaka Supervisors: Anders Dahlberg, SLU Niclas Bergius, Västmanland County Administrative Board Ing-Marie Gren, SLU Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences Master Thesis no. 218 Southern Swedish Forest Research Centre Alnarp 2013 Comparative economic value estimation of matsutake mushroom and timber production in Swedish Scots pine forest Kenji Nagasaka Supervisors: Anders Dahlberg, SLU Niclas Bergius, Västmanland County Administrative Board Ing-Marie Gren, SLU Examiner: Eric Agestam Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences Master Thesis no. 218 Southern Swedish Forest Research Centre Alnarp 2013 MSc Thesis in Forest Management – SUFONAMA, 30 ECTS, Advanced level (A2E), SLU course code EX0630 Abstract The economic value of Swedish forests is largely linked to the production of timber and pulp. Non-timber forest products such as berries and wild mushrooms have yet been considered commercially less valuable than what the trees produce. In 1990s, DNA analyses revealed that matsutake (Tricholoma matsutake), the most expensive edible wild mushroom in Japan, did also occur in Sweden. As a result, commercial matsutake picking in Sweden started in 1998 and since then, small scale export of it to Japan have been taken place. The main objective of this study is to estimate the economic value of Swedish matsutake in comparison with that of Scots pine timber production to figure out how matsutake could potentially contribute to forest management. Cost-benefit analysis is applied as a method. Regarding matsutake production, input data for calculating net present value (NPV) is collected from the matsutake sporocarp inventory survey conducted in between 1998-2012 and a questionnaire was sent to the pickers in 2013.

  • The King's Choice – 10Th of April 1940 Alf R. Jacobsen
    The King’s Choice – 10th of April 1940 Alf R. Jacobsen DISCLAIMER: This is a non-professional translation, done purely for the love of the subject matter. Some strange wording is to be expected, since sentence structure is not always alike in English or Norwegian. I'm also not a military nut after 1500, so some officer ranks, division names and the like may be different than expected because of my perhaps too-literal translation. Any notes of my own will be marked in red. This book is more of a political drama and a personal story for the royal family than a military book, but it has its moments of that as well. And it is a treasure trove of personal notes, unpublished stories and reports from those who were in the thick of it. The author has hunted down all the first-hand material he could get, from archives, private collections and family histories of those involved. Many quotes are taken from unpublished diaries and family sagas. The movie based on this book – by the same name, is also good. The movie makers were advised by both veterans who were present and the royal family for the sequences containing them. Chapter 1 The Attack Schleswig Land, Northern Germany The blackout made the darkness seem deeper when major Erich Walther mustered the two paratrooper companies on the staging ground. Fog swirled over the frozen ground, but a red glare in the horizon announced the coming of morning. The dull roar of tens of BMW engines came from the runway, who coughed and spluttered before starting up.

  • Concerning the Kensington Rune Stone
    CONCERNING THE KENSINGTON RUNE STONE When the Kensington stone was found in 1898, the credi­ bility of its inscription seemed so doubtful, not only because the stone was found so far inland, but because of its contents, that it was condemned as a fraud by all. Photographs of the inscription were sent to many scholars both in Europe and America. Among the chief arguments of these scholars against Its authenticity were the following: First, the in­ scription shows that the rune master was ignorant of the proper numerals and substituted a system of his own in­ vention. Second, he tells of an expedition in which two national groups, Goths and Norwegians, participated — an unthinkable mixture in personnel. Third, the expedition is said to have taken place about 1362 — a time more than three hundred years removed from the known period of the early Norse voyages to America. These, and objections about linguistic and runic forms, were quite enough to con­ sign the Inscription to oblivion, and for many years it lay forgotten. But about ten years later the inscription had a resurrec­ tion, and shortly after this it was conclusively shown that It was the critics — and not the inscription — who were in error about the three objections cited above. They have not since been presented against it. In like manner other objections were met, and the belief in the truth of the in­ scription has been gaining ground. In 1932 my book on the Kensington stone was published. It met with a kind reception; nearly all the fifty-odd reviews, in fact, expressed views favorable to the authenticity of the inscription.
