The dry period is usually 6-8 weeks and in this period the basis of the performance in the following lactation is settled. In an average herd about 15% of the cows are dry (Marcussen & Krog Laursen, 2008). In many herd the dry cows are set aside, that means setting aside 15% of your herd, at the time when they are preparing for their next lactation. The recommendation for number of groups differs depending on country traditions or reasons for grouping. If you look at recommendation for feeding, some companies selling feeding equipment advocates one group throughout the dry period, but the number differs from one to three.

The aim of the project was to study the effect of oral administration of glucose and leucin on the resynthesis of muscle glycogen after intense exercise in Standardbred trotters. In a crossover design, 11 Standardbred trotters performed a standardized exercise test on two occasions in order to deplete muscle glycogen. The exercise test comprised a warm up period, 7 repeated bouts of exercise on an uphill 500 m slope, and a recovery period. After the exercise test horses received: 1) a solution of glucose and leucine via a nasogastric tube at 0 minutes and at 240 minutes post exercise and a single bout of glucose at 120 minutes post exercise or 2) water (placebo) at 0, 120 and 240 minutes. Blood samples for measurement of glucose and insulin concentrations were collected at rest, when the horses returned to the stables directly after exercise and throughout the 6 hour recovery phase. During the first recovery hour, samples were collected every 15 minutes and then every 30 minutes over the next 5 hours.

We are living in a multicultural society where people from other countries and other cultures are coming to Sweden, including children. Regardless of reasons why these students have come to Sweden, it is common that they are newly arrived and have to learn a second language, in this case Swedish.

Denna kvalitativa studie unders?ker vilka motiv som ligger bakom gymnasieelevers val att l?sa ?mnet svenska som andraspr?k, sva, och vilka erfarenheter de har med flerspr?kighet i klassrummet. Studien har en fenomenologisk ansats d?r elevernas livsv?rldar och dess spr?kliga repertoarer anses p?verka elevernas beslut och f?rh?llnings?tt (Busch 2017). Detta inneb?r att elevernas uppfattning om ?mnet sva och deras inst?llning till flerspr?kighet p?verkas av deras tidigare erfarenheter.

Syfte: Med utg?ngspunkt i svensk nyhetsdebatt om barn och avancerad hudv?rd, syftar f?religgande uppsats till att synligg?ra och analysera hur barn (0?18 ?r) konstrueras diskursivt samt att unders?ka vem som tilldelas talutrymme i dessa diskussioner. Teori: Utifr?n ett diskursteoretiskt ramverk inspirerat av Foucault, bygger analysen p? utg?ngspunkten om spr?k som centralt och b?rare av diskursiva f?rest?llningar om hur n?got eller n?gon antas eller b?r vara. Det kombineras med barndomssociologiska teorier om barnsyn och att den r?dande synen p? barn ?r kontextuellt, kulturellt och historiskt betingad. Metod: Det empiriska materialet, best?ende av 19 nyhetsartiklar fr?n de svenska tidningarna Dagens Nyheter, Aftonbladet, Expressen, Svenska Dagbladet, G?teborgs-Posten, Svenska Dagbladet Junior och Kamratposten, har analyserats genom en kritisk inneh?llsanalys med en diskursanalytisk ansats inspirerad av Foucault f?r att synligg?ra diskursiva konstruktioner, diskurser samt de positioner och handlande som barn tillskrivs. Resultat: Av resultatet framg?r att barn konstrueras p? tre olika s?tt och att de olika konstruktionerna (o)m?jligg?r olika typer av handlande. Barn konstrueras genom spr?kliga mark?rer i artiklarna som konsumenter, som s?rbara och som kompetenta.

I dag finns forskning som visar att ADHD-symptom, oftast uppt?cks av v?rdnadshavare framf?r allt f?r flickor.

Sweden had in the early 1930's the lowest birth rate in the world. Population Commission which was established in 1935 concluded that one of the biggest social problems was the working women?s heavy workload.

This thesis work is a 30hp D-level assignment in design as a co-operation between MälardalenUniversity and Scania CV AB in Södertälje. The purpose was to develope a close fitted catwalk.The market has seen an increasing value for these types of applications and have the ambition to keep up with the rest of the competitors. The catwalks of todays standards shall be estetical attractive, have a non slippery surface and be costefficient.While working with this project I have spent a lot of time with the concept proposals and with the evaluation of the concepts, resulting in a final CAD model and a approximation of the cost estimate. The new catwalk fulfils all the new recommendations and rules as sharp edges, ADR, the height of the stepup and a non slippery surface with built in drainage..

This study was conducted on a property with a thinning machine team. The purpose was to investigate in which machine, the harvester or the forwarder, that caused most damage to the trees in six different stands. Different factors, related to the damage frequency in the stands, were checked out. For example: basal area per hectare, thinning strength, tree diameter and the rate of production. The harvester drivers were also interviewed about how, when and why stem damages occur and how to minimize them. The study stated that 4.3 percent of the trees were damaged. Out of these 88 percent was caused by the harvester and the rest, 12 percent, by the forwarder..
