It is often challenging to create a new enrichment program for any animal. This is especially true with the additional challenge that I wanted to use only naturalistic enrichment, and I?m working with animals some of which are nocturnal. Even with a many hurdles, a little bit of enrichment can do a big difference and make a big difference in activity levels of the animals. Eskilstuna parkens zoo have a house called the MUSeum housing four kinds of rodents.
The genetic background of oxytocin and its importance for maternal behaviour of sows
Oxytocin is today widely spoken of as a "feel good" hormone. Recent research has increased interest in the hormone and its role in social and sexual interactions, as well as its importance for complex behavioral patterns. There is evidence that oxytocin is released during physical contact and is said to suppress anxiety and stress. In animals and humans, oxytocin, which is a neuropeptide and likewise a hormone, is necessary for parturition and lactation. Synthesis of oxytocin occurs in brain neurons and in specific organs involved in reproduction.

Stärkelsenedbrytningens betydelse för mjölkkors konsumtionsmönster och mjölkproduktion :
Feed intake in dairy cows is regulated by a variety of factors influencing hunger and satiety.
One of the regulation systems includes the short chain fatty acids produced during feed
degradation in the rumen. Starch can be digested either in the rumen where short chain fatty
acids are produced or in the small intestine where glucose is the end product. Since glucose
does not have the same effect on satiety that short chain fatty acids have, the site of starch
digestion might be an important factor that affects feed intake and milk production. The aim
of this study was to investigate the effects of site of starch digestion on feeding behaviour
(feed intake, consumption time, and eating frequency) and milk production.
Because feeding behaviour is closely connected to the cows? environment, the study also
included observations of behaviour.
Three different feed rations were compared.
Inuti den svarta lådan: En studie av beslutsprocesserna bakom EU:s gemensamma handelspolitik
Trade was assigned as a Community responsibility at the founding of the European Community in 1957. It was then recognized that Europe would achieve a greater international influence if it were to negotiate trade deals with one voice. Since then, the basic rule has been that the European Commission negotiates agreements on behalf of the EC, and presents the agreements negotiated for approval in the European Council. Today, the 25-member European Union is the largest trading power in the world, and most member states have decades of experience of coordinating their national trade interests into a common position. However, partly as a result of the complex nature of the trade decision-making processes it is sometimes problematic to identify who or what really influences EU trade policy.
Unga vuxnas upplevelser av Internet Communities : En studie om hur virtuell gemenskap kan utveckla socialt kapital och lärande
Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka vilka upplevelser unga vuxna har beträffande den virtuella gemenskapen på Internet communities och hur det påverkar deras hälsa och lärande. Studien grundar sig på folkhälsopedagogiskt perspektiv och bygger på en kvalitativ studie. Under genomförandet av arbetet har åtta individer deltagit i individuella intervjuer. I bakgrunden belyser jag hur den teknologiska utvecklingen förändrar det sociala samspelet i samhället. Ökande kommunikation via Internet communities har bidragit till att människor kan ha större sociala nätvärk utan fysiska hinder.
Samsyn, samarbete, samvaro eller sammanträde? Några lärares syn på ämnesgruppers arbete och organisation
The aim of this study is to examine the attitude among teachers towards working in subjectspecific groups, so called professional learning communities. The questions being asked arewhat the teachers want to acquire from working in them and how they consider them to beorganised.Previous research show that professional learning communities are means of strengtheningteachers and their teaching from criticism from outside stakeholders such as local politicians,but also parents. They are also means of developing the teaching and the individualteachers at schools.A qualitative study has been made at a Swedish secondary school and is reported in thisstudy. It was done in a hermeneutic discourse and when analysing the results four categoriesof answers appeared. It showed that the teachers working in professional learning communitieswanted to acquire a qualitative discussion regarding what should be taught and in whatway that should be assessed.
Socialt kapital : en skörd från den urbana odlingen
Hur kan urban odling skapa nya sociala nätverk mellan människor och få dem att mötas i staden?
Litteraturstudien har till syfte att undersöka vilka studier som gjorts kring urban odling och socialt
kapital, med fokus på överbryggande socialt kapital. Begrepp som community garden, community,
kolonilott samt socialt kapital förklaras inledningsvis för att skapa ett ramverk till litteraturstudien.
Socialt kapital kan förklaras som nätverk och sociala kopplingar mellan människor, och överbryggande
socialt kapital är då sådana nätverk mellan människor från olika grupper i samhället. En historisk återblick ges kring hur socialt kapital, med fokus på överbryggande socialt kapital, har skapats både i Sverige genom kolonirörelsen och i USA genom olika stadsodlingsprogram från slutet av 1800-talet och fram till idag. Därefter refereras ett antal studier som undersökt kopplingar mellan socialt kapital och
kollektiv odling, samt ett antal studier som beskriver kollektiv och urban odling kopplat till nätverk och
möten, utan att använda begreppet socialt kapital.
En publik i förändring : En kvalitativ studie om det individualiserade tittandet i relation till användandet av VoD-tjänster
Purpose: The purpose of the study is to gain a deeper understanding of influencing behaviours concerning individualized viewing in relation to VoD-services (Video on Demand), and how this reflects the perceived viewing behaviour in terms of habits, content and social actions.Theory: The theory that primarily underpins this study is Jacob Bjur?s thesis Transforming Audiences. Bjur?s thesis provides an analytical model of individualized viewing behaviour that has been used in this study case. The model is founded on three central tenet areas of individualization, Habitualness that ensures habits, Socialness that refers to the social space and Referential space that ensures content/selection and viewership as a referential act.Method/Material: The study is based on a qualitative research method underpinned by focus groups interviews.Results: The research demonstrates strong tendencies towards an individualised viewing behaviour in the use of VoD-services.
Generell arbetsrelaterad identitet: En orsak till det frivilliga arbetsrelaterade beteendet?
Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka om hög respektive låg Generell Arbetsrelaterad Identitet (AI) hade effekter på Organizational Citizenship Behavior (OCB). Totalt 147 personer inom offentlig sektor, fördelade över två organisationer, deltog i en enkätundersökning om identitet och frivilligt organisationsbeteende.Resultatet visade på signifikanta effekter för hög och låg AI på OCB, associerat med fyra av de fem deldimensionerna av OCB (altruism, samvetsgrannhet, hövlighet, och delaktighet). Försöksdeltagare med hög jämfört med låg AI skattade OCB högre (p < .01, ?2= .16). Generellt indikerar resultatet att organisationer potentiellt kan öka anställdas OCB genom att främja AI. .
Va?rdeskapande pa? varuma?rkescommunities : Fo?retagsna?rvarons pa?verkan pa? konsumenternas va?rdeskapande
Modern teori kring marknadsfo?ring har skiftat fokus fra?n en varudominerande logik gentemot en tja?nstedominerande da?r va?rdeskapande, och mer specifikt samskapandet av va?rde mellan producent och konsument a?r centrala byggstenar. Tidigare studier har presenterat praktiker som anva?ndare i varuma?rkescommunities anva?nder fo?r att skapa va?rde, ofta pa? fanbaserade communities da?r anva?ndarna a?r beundrare av ett specifikt varuma?rke. Denna uppsats syftar till att utro?na hur va?rdeskapandet fo?r konsumenten skapas pa? de internetbaserade communities da?r ba?de konsument och producent na?rvarar, och avviker da?rfo?r ifra?n rent fanbaserade och konsumentstyrda communities.

Captureteorin : Regleringar och konsten att fånga politiska beslut i den demokratiska processen tillämpad på den svenska läkemedelsmarknaden
The Capturetheory wants to give an alternative explanation for the need of regulation. From this point if view the government does not have enough information to make an optimal regulation. There is a possibility for different interest groups to take advantage of the political arena by rent- seeking behaviour. An industry may be willing to be regulated to protect itself from competition. The objective of this paper is to account for the pros and cons of the theory of regulatory capture and also if it can be applied to the Swedish market of pharmaceuticals.
