I det här arbetet presenteras en studie från ett projekt som ägde rum i Kolmården djurpark sommaren och hösten år 2003. Projektet bygger på ett uppdrag från jordbruksdepartementet. Det handlade om huruvida grävlingar i fångenskap reagerar i olika stressande situationer. För att kunna undersöka detta har grävlingarnas naturliga beteende studerats under fyra perioder från juni till september samma år. Det som studerats under perioden är grävlingarnas olika beteenden, lokationen i grävlingshägnet samt fysiologiska parametrar så som hjärtfrekvens och kroppstemperatur hos grävlingarna.

Title: Festivalernas Intåg ? Korröfestivalen- en bordunstämmas resa genom festivaliseringenThe Korrö festival- The establishment of a Swedish Folk Music Festival.This thesis describes how folk music festivals have been escalating during the past few and how they have influenced Swedish folk music.

The bordoon movement gathered a couple of days in the summer at what they called the ?Korrö bordunstämma? to build instruments and play folk music.

Syftet med denna studie var att få ökad kunskap och förståelse för hur det är att leva med funktionshindret dyslexi/ läs- och skrivsvårigheter och hur funktionshindret präglar personens självkänsla och relationer till andra. Våra problemställningar var följande: Hur påverkas skoltiden av funktionshindret dyslexi? Hur påverkas självkänslan och självbilden av att en individ har funktionshindret dyslexi? Hur påverkas och formas relationer till andra hos individer som har funktionshindret dyslexi? Studiens utformning var av kvalitativ design och grundade sig på djupintervjuer som gjordes enligt en temaindelad intervjuguide. Intervjuerna genomfördes med tre kvinnor och en man som vid vuxen ålder studerar vid Stockholm universitet. Vi använde oss även av en heuristisk metod, självobservationer, som en beskrivning av våra egna erfarenheter av funktionshindret, dyslexi.

AimThe aim of the study was to develop a method for the survey of play movement demands and temporal patterns in order to enable a descriptive study of the defensive players in American Football. The overall aim was to  improve the understanding of how American Football is played to create opportunities for enhancement of current or developing new training methods to better suit football.MethodFifty plays from a Division 3 college football game on video from 2005 was divided into sequences of action for one player each from the defensive line, linebackers and defensive backs and analyzed with the video analyzing software cSwing. Every players sequence of action was recorded in a spreadsheet and noted on a scaled football field where distances were measured and together with time stamps from cSwing velocity was calculated.ResultsUsing this method it was possible to describe the play movement demands and temporal patterns which was the main task of the study. The defensive end worked on an average 4.61 seconds per play, the distance was 12.4 meters and average speed 2.5 m×s-1. The linebacker worked on an average 4.35 s per play, 13.7 m and at a mean speed of 3.0 m×s-1.

I will likewise go through with two deep-going interviews with people well familiar with the subject to increase and strengthen the validity of my study.

This essay is a study that contributes to the larger research question ?Why do farms shut down?? The subject was chosen because it is a relevant problem that needs to be studied more. This study's boundary is to investigate the reasons for decisions leading to the farms at the Torstuna community, Fjärdhundra, changes in any activity scale or the outlook of the entire farm. When a decision is made, there are usually several reasons behind it and it is these reasons which this essay is aiming to study. The question "What are the reasons for the elderly to live on the farm even though the farm is not cultivated by them?" is also covered in the study.
