För att förvalta en älgstam på ett bra sätt krävs information om älgstammens sammansättning. År 2012 infördes en ny älgförvaltning som är ekosystembaserad och adaptiv. För att få en överblick över älgstammens storlek finns olika metoder för basinventering, ex älgobservationer och spillningsinventering. Även utökad inventering som ålderstruktur och reproduktion hos skjutna älgar kan användas. Detta examensarbete är ett fördjupningsarbete om älgars reproduktion i den norra delen av Småland, fokuserat på hondjuren (älgkor och ? kvigor).

Inledning: Tidigare studier beskriver att karriärsutveckling handlar om vilken riktning en individ tar i sitt arbetsliv. Hur karriärsutveckling sker och vad som påverkar individen är olika för kvinnor och män. Tidigare studier visar att det finns både inre och yttre faktorer som påverkar en individs karriärsutveckling. Vidare visar tidigare studier också att familjesituation och homoSocial reproduktion även påverkar en individs karriärsutveckling. Studier visar att kvinnor har svårare än män att utvecklas i sina karriärer och orsakerna till att kvinnorna har svårigheter kan bland annat bero på glastaket.

Kvinnor har sedan länge tillbaka presterat bättre än män genom hela deras skolgång. Fler kvinnor än män börjar läsa på högskola/universitet och fler kvinnor avlägger examen. Denna studie är ett bidrag till tidigare forskning inom området genom att enbart studera Norrbottens län, som delvis har en annan struktur än andra län, samt studiet av relationen mellan social klass, genus, geografiskt område och attityder till högre utbildning. Syftet med studien är att undersöka vilken inställning ungdomar (15-19 år) i Norrbottens län har till högre studier och deras planer för att fortsätta studera efter gymnasiet. Studien avser att undersöka, ur ett genusperspektiv, om ungdomar i Norrbotten påverkas av deras sociala bakgrund och geografiska område, i deras val av högre utbildning efter avslutade gymnasiestudier.

This essay criticizes common theories within the three traditional perspectives, conflict management, conflict resolution and conflict transformation, for not being able to explain and/or generate solutions to the problems of fundamentalism and religious terrorism in a satisfying manner. This essay is trying to synthesize an alternative analytical framework that better can explaining these phenomena and generate potential solutions. The frameworks ontological ground is laid out using different readings of Foucault, thereby seeing the subject as formed by discourses, material processes and institutions. Fundamentalism and terrorism are seen as a violent resistance to repressed subjectivity, but the form of resistance depends on the discursive and non discursive surroundings. This gives rise to different forms of resistance; the production of discourses and founding of groups and the entry of marginalized people in these groups.

The chow-chow breed is considered to have a low fertility and this report is an in depth study of the reproductive functions of this breed in Sweden. Only 53 % of the Chow-chow matings results in litters. Previous studies of other breeds in commercial kennels shows mating results around 85-90 %, but this has not been investigated in hobby kennels and most Chow-chows which are bred from in Sweden, are kept as family pets. Contrary to most other breeds, Chow-chows show a seasonal reproductive pattern and most litters are born in the autumn. The influence of the month of mating on pregnancy rate and litter size was found to be not significant, but can be considered a trend. Thirty-nine females with previous known fertility problems where studied. Some of them had reached puberty extremely early, at an age between 4-5 months, and many of the bitches showed great fluctuations in intervals between oestrus cycles. Some of the females showed abnormalities such as very short oestrus intervals of only 2-3 months, probably without ovulating.

Det finns en välkänd koppling mellan social bakgrund och framgång i skolan. Tidigare forskning visar också på ett samband mellan tillgång till socialt kapital och skolresultat. Med ett fåtal undantag, har denna koppling dock inte studerats i svenska förhållanden. Syftet med denna studie är att fylla denna kunskapslucka, och samtidigt undersöka om tillgången till socialt kapital förstärker eller utjämnar skillnader mellan elever med olika social bakgrund. Utifrån de teorier som utvecklats av bland andra Pierre Bourdieu och Nan Lin definierar jag socialt kapital som de värdefulla resurser ? ekonomiska, kulturella, sociala eller andra ? som är tillgängliga för individen genom hennes relationer till andra.
