The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between sleep, photoperiod, milk yield and hormones connected to milk formation. Variations of prolactin (PRL) and Insulin-Like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) in plasma were measured during two different light programs. The light programs consisted of either 24 hours of light (L24:D0) or four hours of light and 20 hours of darkness (L4:D20). Five cows of the Swedish Red breed were used in a cross-over experiment and each light program consisted of five days. Milk yield was measured at every milking and milk samples were analyzed with regard to fat, lactose and protein.

The Landscape Architecture Program at SLU, Ultuna provide several design courses. Within these courses, students are mainly introduced to one type of design process, a process based on the specific site and its conditions, known as Genius Loci. This report presents a course and a design methodology from Cornell University which aims to provide students with tools for a more conceptual way of thinking about design and architecture. The design method is presented in two stages. First an introduction to the course description and objectives.

Costs of maintenance on agriculture machines is something that many farmers has a low knowledge of, it can depend on low interest or that the farmer don?t have enough time. To make it easier for the farmers they can use many computer programs which are available on the market. In this program they can calculate their costs of maintaince on their agriculture machines, for example STANK and JTI machine calculation program. Most of this program is using Svensson (1987) costs model whish was made in Sweden in the middle of 80 decade in a large study.

The aim of this study is to examine if and how the diagnosis of ADHD is important for the social practice delimitation to obtain an understanding of how the sorting and categorization of clients affects the distribution of resources. In a qualitative approach, the study is based on eight semi-structured interviews in five different social practices. Young adults diagnosed with ADHD who need society's help and support, constituted our focus in the study. The selection is based on gaining an understanding of how the client process proceeds. The interviews were supplemented with documents, such as legal and internal methodological support.

Anledningen till att jag valde att skriva om valet till gymnasiet är att jag blev nyfiken på vad som påverkar elevernas beslut och vad det är som tilll slut gör att de väljer som de gör. Nyfikenheten uppkom efter att jag själv varit i valet och kvalet när jag skulle välja program på gymnasiet. Mitt syfte är att genom en enkätundersökning och efterföljande intervjuer försöka få vetskap om vad som påverkar elevernas val till gymnasiet. Jag vill även försöka undersöka överhuvudtaget varför man väljer som man väljer. Jag har valt att koncentrera mig extra på det Naturvetenskapliga programmet och är därmed nyfiken på vad högstadieeleverna tror krävs av dem som väljer detta program.Jag vill även ta reda på vad för slags information om detta program man fått och från vem denna har kommit.

Sweden is the country that has got the largest amount of elderly in the adult population in the world. The physical activity level decreases as we grow old and we experience muscle mass loss and a bone density reduction. This leads to an increased risk for falls and subsequent fractures. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether an exercise program could affect muscle function and balance ability to prevent falls. 17 women (age 64-79) participated in this study and was assigned to a control group (n=7) and an intervention group (n=10).

The aim of this study was to identify possible reasons for non-attendance related to mammographic screening. Using qualitative methods, sex women underwent a semi-structured interview on the following themes: social background, medical history, mammographic screening, invitation, and final decision.Social background was described using the "life-form theory". The concepts of illness, disease, and sickness were used in order to investigate medical conditions and their impact. The process of non-attendance was studied using a model by Zovko, balancing different needs affecting decisions and final action.According to their decision, and final action, women were defined as "participants", "passive non-attenders" or "active non-attenders". Most women belonged to the life-form "paid work" and had children.

Elever i årskurs nio står inför ett val då de ska söka till gymnasiet. De blir informerade, av studie- och yrkesvägledarna och även av rektorerna på gymnasieskolorna, om de program som det finns att välja på i deras närhet. Vi har bestämt oss för att titta närmare på den här informationen, hur den ser ut och om alla program får lika mycket uppmärksamhet. Vi har valt att inrikta oss på det individuella programmet. Detta har lett följande frågeställningar: ? Vilken information får högstadieeleverna om individuella programmet? ? Hur presenteras informationen för eleverna på högstadiet? ? Vilka attityder har studie- och yrkesvägledare på högstadiet och rektorerna på gymnasieskolan till individuella programmet? För att nå fram till ett resultat har vi använt oss av viss litteraturgenomgång men främst av de intervjuer som vi har genomfört med sex stycken studie- och yrkesvägledare och två rektorer.

Abstract The overall aim of this paper is to examine the impact of ideologies and norms on a legal system. Against a background of a description of the hierarchy of norms in Swedish labour law and in European Union law, respectively, the paper aims to specifically demonstrate the problems caused by the different hierarchies of norms when implementing EU directives in Swedish labor law. The research question examines how the trade unions? right to industrial action towards an undertaker providing transnational services by posting of workers, is affected by the implementation of the Directive 96/71/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 December 1996 concerning the posting of workers in the framework of the provision of services. The paper answers the question under what conditions the Swedish trade unions have the right to take industrial action in situations of posting of workers. Through the study of sources of law and adhering to traditional jurisprudence, this paper investigates the legislation regarding trade unions? rights to take industrial action in situations of posting of workers. In addition to the jurisprudential research, a glance at the history of ideologies is provided.

The capability to know what knowledge there is and where it resides within an organization is becoming increasingly important in the new knowledge-based economy. This paper takes on a practise-based view of knowledge in order to decide on a course of action for how to successfully implement knowledge management within a knowledge-based company. By considering all knowledge as more or less contextual and socially constructed, knowledge is divided into three dimensions depending on the degree to which it is tacit, namely: information, knowledge and skills. The paper then discusses inhibitors and enablers for transferring knowledge via these three dimensions respectively. The empirical findings are based upon a case study of Faveo. It is shown that Faveo, like most organizations, has til now focused on the collection of codified knowledge, i.e.

Syftet med denna rapport var att undersöka hur gymnasieelever ser på nyttan med matematiken och den gjordes som en jämförelse mellan två olika program. Vi använde oss av den kvantitativa metoden enkät för att få reda på omfattningen av elevernas uppfattning av nyttan. Därefter genomfördes elevintervjuer för att få en bredare bild av deras nytto-upplevelse. Samtal med lärare kompletterade vår bakgrundsförståelse för matematiken i de olika programmen. Vid enkätundersökningen kom vi fram till att eleverna i stort tror att de behöver matematiken men under intervjun hade de svårt att komma med exempel på vilken nytta de har haft eller kommer att ha av matematiken.

Syftet med min studie var att undersöka om problemlösning i matematik gick att förena med användandet av digitala hjälpmedel/program ur ett elev- och lärarperspektiv. Mina frågeställningar rörde hur digitala program som verktyg påverkade matematikundervisningen och hur elever och lärare såg på att arbeta på detta sätt. Det har visat sig i olika rapporter och bland forskare att skolan i Sverige generellt är dålig på att använda digitala verktyg i matematikundervisningen. I skolans styrdokument står det tydligt att moderna verktyg ska användas i undervisningen. Vidare visar rapporter på att matematikundervisningen fortfarande tenderar att vara tyst räkning. Forskare menar att om man använder sig av digitala verktyg leder detta till samspel.

Solid State Diskar (SSD) är relativt nya och mycket om dem är okänt. Detta examensarbete fokuserar på att läsa forensiskt viktig information från både lagringsutrymmet och reservutrymmet. Detta har försökts genom att ett program har byggts i C++, detta program använder ATA kommandon för att läsa information från disken. Även om programmet aldrig blev färdigt kunde det skicka och ta emot data från en SSD, dock inte reservutrymmet vilket var fokus i detta examensarbete..

The reindeer are kept in extensive pasture systems where the conditions are similar to thosefor wild reindeer. Since the reindeer have special demands on their pasture, it is difficult tokeep them in intensive production systems where they cannot graze selectively. Too manyreindeer on a small area will also facilitate spread of diseases. A selection program forreindeer needs special qualifications according to several different reasons. The purpose withthis literature review is to summarize the factors needed for a reindeer selection program andthe problems and possibilities included.Reindeer grazing right has a special meaning to the Sami and are reserved for them accordingto immemorial rights.

In many European countries there is an increasing concern about the occasionally high concentrations of nitrate and pesticides in drinking water. The advent of the EU Water Framework Directive particularly highlights this. The directive states that all large drinking water sources should be identified and protected from pollution before 2009 and that by 2015 all water bodies should reach a 'good status'. In Sweden about 60 percent of the drinking water sources have protection areas. This means that about 700 new water protection areas need to be designated before 2009. This will affect many farmers, restricting their farming practices. The purpose of this study was to investigate which methods are used in other countries concerning nitrate and pesticide pollution from agriculture. From this, the expectation was to generate ideas on what could be undertaken in Sweden when designating new protection areas.
