Modern milk production have come a long way when it comes to accommodating the nutritional and physiological needs of the animals, but unfortunately the behavioural and psychological needs of cows and heifers are often left unfulfilled. A long time for eating is beneficial for the digestion and also gives the cattle something to do and decreases the risks for developing abnormal behaviours. An important factor that influences eating- and ruminating time is the particle size of the roughage. The aim of the study was to find out if particle size influences the behaviour of dairy heifers, in particular with regard to eating behaviour and abnormal behaviours. The study was conducted at Uddetorp farm high school in Skara. Forty-two heifers of the breeds SR and SF were housed in 8 slatted floor pens.

The purpose of this study was to gather knowledge about the functioning of the rein tension meter and test it for future studies of match and mismatch between rider and horse. We looked specifically into the possibilities to use a rein-tension meter to determine the quality of cooperation between horse and rider.

Uppsatsen handlar om retoriken i tv-spel.

Narratologin menar att spel i grunden är berättande eller bär på berättande drag ? att en fotbollsmatch följer en överskådlig dramaturgi och berättande mönster.

Vägverket har ett önskemål om att distribuera trafikinformation till trafikanter. Vi fick uppdraget att undersöka om MMS skulle kunna användas i detta syfte. Eftersom MMS är en ny teknik med multimediala egenskaper som kan leverera stora textmängder, bild, ljud och video, beslöt vi oss för att koncentrera oss på de bilder som kommer från Vägverkets trafik- och väglagskameror som finns längs våra vägar.Det finns en stor mängd av möjliga tjänster som kan utvecklas, riktade till olika målgrupper och som strävar till att ge trafikanter ett beslutsunderlag vid val av färdsätt, färdväg eller starttid. Vi valde i arbetet en storstadspendlare som kan få en insikt om hur det ser ut längs vägen till arbetsplatsen. En annan tjänst är till landsvägspendlaren som kan beställa en bild från en känslig vägsträcka under vintertid.
