The purpose with the study was to find a pattern in the behaviour of dairy cows which could be related to their social rank. A behavioural study was conducted at the University Cattle Research Centre (KungsÀngen) in Uppsala, Sweden. The study included 12 lactating dairy cows, 6 high ranked and 6 low ranked. The cows were housed in a loose housing barn with an automatic milking system (AMS) to which they had access 24 hours a day. During the experiment the total number of cows in the barn was 46.

Idag anva?nds den smarta telefonen i allt sto?rre utstra?ckning fo?r att surfa pa? Internet. Problemet med att surfa i den smarta telefonen a?r att den mindre ska?rmytan ger begra?nsade mo?jligheter att rymma alla funktioner hos funktionsrika tja?nster. Fo?r att lo?sa detta utvecklas det flera lo?sningar fo?r en och samma tja?nst.

Background: The real estate market has previously been subsidized by the government. The construction has been characterized by standardization and large scale complex. In the current situation there are other conditions on the real estate market, subsidies do not occur at the same degree and the market is more competitive. Customer influence has also changed.

Introduction: More and more children and young people get the diagnosis celiac disease established. Celiac is a life-long disease, which means that the child during the rest of its life has to be on a strictly gluten-free diet. There are few studies so far, which have examined how children having a life-long disease with food treatment and increasing prevalence really experience their health related quality of life (HRQoL).Purpose: The purpose of the study was to examine how children (8 ? 18 years old) suffering from celiac valued their HRQoL and to illustrate as well whether the age of the child and its extent of disease when it was taken ill affected the child?s evaluation of HRQoL later in life. The purpose was also to compare whether the children?s parents valued the HRQoL of their children to the same extent as the children did.Method: 160 children, 54 boys and 102 girls were included in the study.

Under 1990-talet kom Kaplan och Norton fram med styrningsfilosofin balanserat styrkort som innebÀr att managers uppmanas att inte enbart ta hÀnsyn till finansiella mÄtt utan bör anvÀnda sig av bÄde finansiella och icke-finansiella mÄtt för att kunna styra företag. Det hÀr konceptet med balanserat styrkort har sedan det togs fram utvecklas och i början av 2000-talet finns den tredje versionen av balanserat styrkort som tillsammans med avancerad teknologi bildar konceptet business performance management. Det innebÀr att den information som ligger till grund för de rapporter som bestÄr av finansiella och icke-finansiella mÄtt hÀmtas frÄn en central databas i det verksamhetsöverskridande business performance management systemet. En anledning till det Àr att business performance management knyter samman balanserat styrkort med avancerad teknologi som möjliggör att managers dÀrmed har möjlighet att fÄ tillgÄng till en gemensam version av verkligheten, det vill sÀga en gemensam mental bild hur företaget presterar. Dessutom möjliggör den avancerade teknologin att managers oavsett om beslut tas som Àr strategiska, taktiska eller operativa att de har tillgÄng till den information som beslutsunderlagen baseras pÄ i rÀtt tid.Den information som beslutsunderlagen baseras pÄ mÄste bestÄ av en tillfredstÀllande god kvalitet för att möjliggöra att managers tar korrekta och optimala beslut.

Denna uppsats har syftat till att o?ka fo?rsta?elsen fo?r hur omsta?llningen till att planera fo?r mer ha?llbart resande upplevs och kan hanteras av tja?nstema?n pa? stadsbyggnadskontoret i Ta?by kommun. Genom en kvalitativ studie har tja?nstema?n i projektgruppen fo?r Va?stra Roslags-Na?sby liksom konsulter inriktade mot mobility management intervjuats. Utifra?n begrepp som ha?llbar mobilitet, resilienta institutioner, mobility management och livsva?rldsperspektiv har respondenternas upplevelser och erfarenheter av att arbeta med ha?llbart resande i stadsbyggnadsprocessen studerats.

Biogas is a gaseous fuel, rich in methane, produced through a biological route in an anaerobic digester. A gas engine generates combined heat and power, which can be used at the farm to reduce energy cost. The process also generates a digestate, with better utilization of nutrient compared to cattle manure. The aim of this study is to analyze the profitability of a farm-scale biogas plant for combined heat and power (CHP) at Wapnö. Wapnö is an agriculture company located in the southern part of Sweden.

Australia is one of the largest producers and consumers of fossil fuels in the world. In a society where the effects of fossil fuels on global warming are constantly discussed, the nation?s production and consumption are subject to debate. Problems arise when negative aspects of consumption, such as emissions of greenhouse gases, are put in relation to an increased need of energy and economic growth. However, it is important to distinguish between different types of fossil fuels when it comes to their individual impact on the environment and to analyze the possibilities to increase the more environmental friendly ones.

I detta arbete sa? vill jag studera hur praktisk fysikundervisning och bedo?mning i na?grasvenska gymnasieskolor o?verenssta?mmer med modern forskning om fysikpedagogik.Denna forskning spa?nner o?ver ett brett spektrum av metoder och teorier, varav jag harfokuserat pa? om la?rarnas undervisning kan beskrivas som-elevaktiv eller inte,-mer eller mindre baserad pa? bokstudier,-inriktad pa? konceptuell fo?rsta?else eller mer fo?rma?gan att ra?kna specifika uppgifter.Dessa aspekter diskuteras a?ven i relation till de inblandade la?rarnas utbildning.Fo?r att kunna ja?mfo?ra de olika klasserna och la?rarna har jag anva?nt ett test avkonceptuell fo?rsta?else (FCI, se sektion 3.2) samt enka?ter till la?rare och elever. Ur etttyva?rr skevt urval av klasser och la?rare framga?r att det finns stora skillnader pa? hurla?rarna ser pa? undervisningen och vilka undervisningsmetoder de anva?nder, samt hurstyrt de upplever sitt arbete. Korrelationerna mellan elevernas resultat pa? FCI och pa?ordinarie prov pa? motsvarande mekanik a?r sma?, vilket tyder pa? att regulja?ra provma?ter konceptuell fo?rsta?else i liten utstra?ckning.

People have used forest resources in northern Sweden for different purposes. Before the 20th century the forest was used for many different reasons, but during the past 200 years it has become an industrial raw material. The presence of people in the forest has left different kinds of traces in the forests. One example is culturally modified trees (CMTŽs). The aim of this study was to study and document how people have used the forest resources during the last centuries in BrÀnnlidens nature reserve, and what kind of traces this land use has left.

The purpose of this study was to gain a deeper understanding of teacherÂŽs motives to engage in outdoor education in their teaching. A qualitative approach through interviews was used and a total of eight teachers were interviewed. The result showed that there were several motives to engage in outdoor education. These motives were divided into three main categories which were: to engage in outdoor education from teacher`s interest, to engage in outdoor education based on teacher`s perceptions of children's needs and to engage in outdoor education based on external factors..

Our purpose with this research is to highlight that there is a scope for increased value creation in the experience room during concerts, and how value-enhancing strategies can be a competitive advantage for different venues. In our investigation of this we have worded the following research question: How is the perceived customer value affected during a concert in the experience room and its physical environment? With the background in this question we have identified three key concepts that we believe are the influence of the total concert experience which are; sensory experiences, interaction and identity. From these concepts we have drafted a number of propositions to test the reality by our empirical data collection. .

In today's society there are a lot of offers towards consumers, where they actively have to choose the most appealing offer. In order for an offer to be attractive it must add value in line with the customers demand. Also, it requires that the offer provides a sufficient level of attraction so that the customer selects the particular product/service over another. Furthermore, each offer must exceed the expectations of the visitors to an event, so they feel that the event is something "extraordinary". We have chosen to study how LHC (Linkoping Hockey Club) works with marketing in order to improve the overall customer experience.
