Corporate social responsibility (CSR) is one of the ways through which companies gain legitimacy. However, CSR actions themselves are subject to public skepticism because of increased public awareness of greenwashing and scandalous corporate behavior. Legitimacy of CSR actions is indeed influenced by the actions of the company but also is rooted in the basic cultural values of a society and in the ideologies of evaluators. This study examines the legitimacy of CSR actions of publicly traded forest products companies as compared to family-owned forest products companies. Results indicate a lower legitimacy for CSR actions of publicly traded companies than for family-owned companies. The study also examines the effect of social responsibility orientation (SRO) of evaluators on the legitimacy accorded to companies’ CSR actions. We found that SRO was negatively associated with legitimacy, especially for women. Perceived profitability of companies was negatively associated with legitimacy of CSR actions for publicly traded but not for family-owned companies.

En studie ble gjennomført i to kommuner, Sandnes og Sarpsborg, for å se på omfang og plassering av arealbruksendringer over tid. De viktigste drivkreftene bak endringene er tettstedsutvikling i form av boligbygging, infrastruktur og næringsutvikling. I den undersøkte perioden fra 1970/80-tallet til 2003 var jordkvalitet ikke en viktig faktor som ble tatt hensyn til under nedbygging og nydyrking.

Four chapters follow in this book: Background, Challenges, Foresight, and Conclusion – What’s Next. The first chapter, Background, takes stock of land monitoring practices in European countries. The second chapter, Challenges, relates a range of issues encountered with land monitoring as it is currently practised and how such matters can be better resolved through improved collaboration. Building upon these findings, the third chapter, Foresight, outlines the HELM (Harmonised European Land Monitoring) roadmap towards a mature, integrated pan-European land monitoring system based upon aggregated national data which are supplemented by centrally produced base data. The concluding chapter, What’s Next, sets the HELM project and its recommendations in context.

Wood protection by means of electro pulsing Electric fields have been evaluated for the protection of wood against attack by wood-destroying fungi. We could show that a low-pulsed electric field (PLEOT) had an inhibiting effect on wood destroying fungi compared with the tested reference power sources alternating and direct current. The study examined the suitability of PLEOT for use in wood preservation and evaluated the use of different wood and fungi species, different wood dimensions, the use in ground contact, as well as the test setup in the laboratory and the installation of the technology in the field. Different wood species could be protected by means of PLEOT against degradation by white and brown rot. Additionally, the degradation of wood could be stopped after four weeks establishment of the fungi. The use of PLEOT in ground contact resulted in lower weight loss of PLEOT-protected samples compared with untreated samples.

Vårt klima er under endring, og granas mistrivsel enkelte steder er et tydelig tegn. Bjørk kan mange plasser være et svært aktuelt treslag som erstatning for gran, fordi vi finner bjørk over hele landet, omløpstiden er kort, produksjonen er stor på høye boniteter, og sluttproduktet har stor verdi. Bjørk er et både nyttig og vakkert materiale som har stått og fortsatt står menneskene nær.
