The Nordic Council is a forum for co-operation between the Nordic parliaments and governments. The Council consists of 87 parliamentarians from the Nordic countries. The Nordic Council takes policy initiatives and monitors Nordic co-operation. Founded in 1952. The Nordic Council of Ministers is a forum for co-operation between the Nordic governments. The Nordic Council of Ministers implements Nordic co-operation. The prime ministers have the overall responsibility. Its activities are co-ordinated by the Nordic ministers for co-operation, the Nordic Committee for co-operation and portfolio ministers. Founded in 1971. Stockholm, Sweden 2004 Preface This report is a comparative study of economic renewal and demographic change on local labour markets in Nordic countries. Senior research fellow Lars Olof Persson at Nordregio has coordinated the project team consisting of researchers from Institute of Migration (Turku, Finland), Swedish Institute for Growth Policy Studies (Stockholm), University of Akureyri (Iceland), Institute for Border Studies (Aabenraa, Denmark) and Statistics Norway (Oslo). At Nordregio, research fellow Tomas Hanell, research fellow Jörg Neubauer and research assistants Moa Tunström and Fredrik Nyman have contributed to data collection, processing and map- making. The project is part of the second phase of the Nordic research programme Future Challenges and Institutional Preconditions for Regional Development Policy. The programme was commissioned by the Nordic Council of Ministers / Nordic Senior Officials Committee for Regional Policy (NERP). The pilot phase of the project was reported in 2000. The first phase of the programme (2000-2002) was reported through eight published studies in 2002. The reports from six separate projects in the second phase (2003-2004) of the programme will be published successively through the autumn of 2004 together with a summary of the programme. Nordregio wishes to thank the project team as well as the members of the Programme Steering Committee: Bue Nielsen (Denmark), Janne Antikainen (Finland), Kristin Nakken (Norway), Nicklas Liss-Larsson (Sweden), Kjartan Kristiansen (Faroe Islands), Bjarne Lindström (Åland Islands) and Hallgeir Aalbu (Nordregio).

Introduction Regional imbalances caused by and effecting demographic change are unevenly spread across the Nordic countries. A common emergent problem here is that of a future labour shortage, something which has already been experienced in certain sectors and in particular regions, and something that is forecast on a much broader scale in future. Moreover, the common characteristics of an ageing labour force, such as increasing rates of sickness leave, have important side effects, from a social and economic perspective, on the communities they blight. The differences in fertility rates between in particular Sweden, Finland and Denmark on the one hand, and Iceland and Norway on the other are complexly interrelated to differing economic performance levels and to national institutional structures. The sustainability, in economic and social

    Fladdermusfaunan i Dalarna Sammanställning av inventeringar åren 2008-2010 Fladdermusfaunan i Dalarna Sammanställning av inventeringar åren 2008-2010 Vattenfladdermus (Mytois daubentonii). Foto: MaryAnn Fargo Författare: MaryAnn Fargo Kontaktperson: Urban Gunnarsson 2 Förord Fladdermöss är en mytomspunnen djurgrupp som ofta associeras till allt från sagor och svart magi till hårdrock och vampyrer. Trots att en fjärdedel av Sveriges däggdjursarter är fladdermöss har informationen länge varit knapphändig, men kunskaperna om fladdermöss har ökat avsevärt under de senaste 20 åren. Detta beror till stor del på så kallade ultraljudsdetektorer, vilka omvandlar fladdermössens högfrekventa läten till för oss hörbara ljud. Fladdermöss är goda indikatorer på hur den biologiska mångfalden utvecklas i t.ex. jordbruks-, skogsbruk- och speciellt i kulturlandskapet eftersom sällsynta och hotade arter ofta finns i gamla hävdade marker och byar. Fladdermössen kan kopplas till miljömålsarbetet via flera miljömål t.ex. Ett rikt odlingslandskap, Myllrande våtmarker, Ett rikt växt- och djurliv, Levande skogar samt God bebyggd miljö. Syftet med inventeringarna i länet har varit att kartlägga vilka arter som finns, var de finns, samt att få kunskap om de värdefullaste områdena. Totalt har nio arter konstaterats i länet: nordisk fladdermus, mustaschfladdermus, brandts fladdermus, vattenfladdermus, långörad fladdermus, dvärgfladdermus, stor fladdermus, gråskimlig fladdermus och fransfladdermus. Fransfladdermusen är rödlistad som sårbar och Dalarnas län har ett särskilt ansvar att bevara arten. Inventeringarna, som ägt rum somrarna 2008, 2009 och 2010, har finansierats med medel från åtgärdsprogrammet för hotade arter. Inventeringarna har utförts av Sofia Gylje Blank och Henrick Blank från Noctula samt Alexander Eriksson och Emilie Nilsson från Ecocom.

  • Meyer's Accent Contours Revisited
    TMH-QPSR Vol. 44 – Fonetik 2002 Meyer’s accent contours revisited Olle Engstrand1 and Gunnar Nyström2 1Department of Linguistics, Stockholm University 2Institute for Dialectology, Onomastics and Folklore Research (SOFI), Uppsala Abstract Do E.A. Meyer’s tonal word accents contours from the Swedish dialects provide a reliable basis for quantitative analysis? Measurements made on acute and grave tone-peaks in a number of dialects spoken in the province of Dalarna suggested that the timing of grave tonal peaks tended to vary systematically from south-east to north-west. The former dialects had relatively late and the latter relatively early tone-peaks. This finding suggests that Meyer’s accent data may be sufficiently accurate to reflect systematic variation within broad dialect areas. Implications for the historical development of the Dalarna dialects are discussed. Introduction Several decades ago, E.A. Meyer compiled his pioneering survey of tonal word accent contours in 100 Swedish dialects (Meyer 1937, 1954). Pitch curves were automatically generated using a pitch meter that Meyer himself had invented. The original pitch curves are thus likely to be quite accurate. To enhance the dialect-specific tonal characteristics, the original contours were time-normalized, averaged and smoothed by Figure 1. Tonal contours representing the eye. These schematized contours were arranged Central Swedish dialects (Stockholm, upper by province and displayed on charts. panel) and the Dalarna dialects (Leksand, lower The Meyer contours have proved useful in panel). establishing accent-based dialect typologies In this paper, the question is raised whether the (Gårding 1977, Bruce & Gårding 1978, Öhman Gårding and Bruce scheme can be elaborated to 1967).

  • Division IV, Dalarna
    Färnäs Sportklubb 1955-1956. (Text Lars Kjell, Dala-Demokraten. Gunnar Axelsson Dalarnas Fotbollsförbunds årsmötesprotokoll 1955). Lika oroande som IK Brages utgångsläge tedde sig våren 1955 lika betryggande ter det sig efter avverkad höstomgång i 1955-1956 års serie. Efter en segersvit som saknar motstycke i lagets historia leder Dalalaget division II Svealand med 20 poäng, 6 poäng före närmaste lag, IK City. IK Brages höstspel har endast medfört en förlorad match och det är nog inte att hänge sig åt någon överdriven optimism, att redan nu anse en plats säkrad för allsvenskt kval. Våromgången, den optimism vi hade anledning ge tillkänna i föregående årsberättelse, med anledning av IK Brages fina höstomgång i 1955-1956 års division II, visade sig välgrundad och Borlänge laget kunde utan att ha varit allt för allvarligt hotat hålla undan i tabellen och gå till allsvenskt kval. Spelordningen i kvalificeringsmatcherna fastställdes efter offentlig radiolottning, varvid IK Brage parades med segrarlaget i östra götalandsgruppen, IFK Malmö. Första matchen spelades på Domnarsvallen i Borlänge, där i runt tal 11 000 åskådare fick se skåningarna triumfera med matchens enda mål, till yttermera visso inspelat under tilläggsminut strax innan domarens pipa gick för full tid. Trots det snöpliga matchslutet – eller kanske tack vare – reste IK Brage till returmatchen med verklig segerglöd och drog sig inte för att på Idrottsparken i Malmö ta ledningen med 2-1. Bladet vände sig emellertid och när den anmärkningsvärt dramatiska matchen var till ända stod siffrorna 2-2, vilket innebar att rikets tredje stad med ett nödrop fått ett andra lag i högsta serien.
