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.

The aim of this study is to examine which factors in the receiving-country that have had an influence on three now adult unaccompanied refugee children. The method used in the study is qualitative interviews with the three above-mentioned participants. The results show that some factors are perceived as helpful, having a positive influence on the participants life while other factors are perceived as worsening, having a negative influence on their life. Depending on the context some factors such as age, the Swedish language and housing arrangements have had both positive and negative influences on their life. Positive factors are among other things: access to good treatment and support, help with processing trauma and bad mental health, help with understanding coherence, access to a social network, family reunification, resilience and other internal factors.

Den svenska välfärden finner stora problem p g a den höga andelen arbetsoförmögna och forskningen inom området är ansenlig. Fokus i dem traditionella, kvantitativa studierna ligger oftast på faktorer i arbetet som orsakar ohälsa utan att ta hänsyn till personlighetsrelaterade faktorer. I kontrast till det syftar föreliggande studie att undersöka personlighetens betydelse för individens copingstrategi samt upplevelse av psykosociala hälsoriskfaktorer på arbetsplatsen. Kvalitativa intervjuer genomfördes med 23 individer som samtliga arbetar inom tjänstemannasektorn, och både induktiv och deduktiv analys användes. Personlighet analyserades efter Big Five och förhållningssätten enligt problem- respektive emotionsfokuserad coping.

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.

Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka hur proffessionstillhörighet och antal copingstrategier respondenterna använder, påverkar skattad stress samt att studera hur arbetsfaktorer påverkar skattad stress. Totalt 84 personer, inom samma organisation, fördelade över två avdelningar med olika arbetsuppgifter - besvarade en enkätundersökning, om stress, coping och arbetsfaktorer. Resultatet av undersökningen visar på en tendens att de respondenter som använder sig av ett fåtal copingstrategier har en lägre skattad stressnivå, (borderline-signifikans), samt att avdelning inte påverkar antalet använda copingstrategier (dvs. ingen interaktionseffekt mellan antalet använda copingstrategier och avdelning). Resultatet visar även att arbetsfaktorerna, vilka delades upp i fyra kategorier; otydlig organisation och konflikter, individuella krav och engagemang, inflytande på arbetet samt konflikt mellan arbete och fritid, predicerar den skattade stressnivån och speciellt individuella krav och engagemang var den kategori som påverkade den skattade stressnivån.Nyckelord:.

This study is about children that have been forced to flee to another country, due to conflict, poverty or natural disasters, without their families. They are known as unaccompanied refugee children. The aim of the study is to, by focusing on individual children's feelings and experiences of being forced to flee create greater knowledge and understanding of what is hidden behind some of the statistic of migration.To answer the aim of the study, I used the following research questions: How is a child affected by being forced to leave home and to flee to a foreign country? How does an unaccompanied refugee child perceive the exodus? How do the unaccompanied refugee children handle their situation during the flight and at arrival in Sweden?The study is based on a qualitative method and consists in semi-structured interviews with five unaccompanied refugee children aged 17 to 21. The theoretical framework is based on three theoretical concepts; refugee crisis, identity and coping.The study results show that these children are a very vulnerable group, who were forced to be exposed to several losses and traumas.

Diabetes utgör idag ett växande globalt folkhälsoproblem. Antalet diabetiker beräknas vara 360 miljoner fram till år 2030 (WHO, 2005). Utvecklingen från ett traditionellt liv till en modern livsstil med stress, ökat födointag och mindre motion är några av nyckelfaktorerna i utvecklingen av diabetes typ 2. Sekundär preventiva åtgärder vid diabetes typ 2 är en hälsosam kost i kombination med motion, för att förebygga utvecklingen av komplikationer relaterade till sjukdomen. Syftet med studien var att undersöka vilka sekundära preventiva insatser som finns, för att få patienter med diabetes typ 2 att uppnå god metabol kontroll med fokus på kost och motion samt hur sjuksköterskan kan utnyttja detta i sitt omvårdnadsarbete.

The aim of this study was to investigate the individual meaning of experiences of migration and day-to day life experiences before and after migration, of women that had migrated from the Middle-east area to Sweden. This was to be done with a psychological health perspective looking for stressors and salutogenic factors. A phenomenological approach was used. Eleven women where interviewed with three open questions on a trajectory theme. The analysis was supported by software Sphinx Lexica and software MCA-Minerva.

The aim of this study was to reach an understanding of how young adults with permanent residence permit, who came to Sweden as unaccompanied asylum seeking minors, experience their confrontation with the Swedish society. Another purpose was to understand how these young adults view Sweden and its inhabitants, as well as the experience of starting a new life in Sweden. In order to investigate these questions, a qualitative method consisting of five interviews with five young men was conducted.The results showed that the respondents feared the meeting with the immigration board and that they feel that school is divided in two groups, Swedes and immigrants. People with nonethnic Swedish background who have lived in Sweden for a long time are seen as Swedes, and in that meaning assimilated. One important conclusion we made was that the division between Swedes and immigrants have a negative influence on the immigrants´ integration in the society.

Rampfeber är ett stort problem även för universitetsstudenter, som har valt en yrkesinriktning i vilken att stå på scen är ett vanligt inslag. Rampfeber kan medföra att individer väljer bort yrkesinriktningar som de annars är intresserade av och kan försämra prestationer och hälsa. Syftet med detta examensarbete är att undersöka om det föreligger någon skillnad mellan lärar- och civilingenjörsstudenter på LTU när det gäller rampfeber. En första hypotes är att rampfebern är lägre på det universitetsprogram, där publika framträdanden inträffar regelbundet och i det här fallet lärarprogrammen. En andra hypotes är att lärarstudenter tillämpar coping-strategier i lägre utsträckning och en tredje hypotes är att rampfebern är lägre hos män.

Syftet med föreliggande studie var att undersöka hur det kommer sig att vissa personer med ätstörningar väljer att starta en ätstörningsblogg samt hur de upplever sitt bloggande. Respondenterna bestod av fem kvinnor i åldrarna 23-35 år som bloggar om sina ätstörningar. En kvalitativ metod användes där semistrukturerade intervjuer genomfördes över telefon. Resultaten analyserades och tolkades med hjälp av känslan av sammanhang (KASAM) och copingteori. Resultaten visade att anledningarna till att starta en blogg var många, bl.a.

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.
