Hanhundskastrering – Orsaker, förväntningar och resultat
Get PDFAtt välja att kastrera sin hanhund är ett vanligt beslut. Djurägare har ofta varierande anledningar till
att de vill kastrera sin hund och även olika förhoppningar, eller farhågor, kring vilken effekt
ingreppet kommer ha på hunden både fysiologiskt och beteendemässigt.
Enligt litteraturen rådfrågar större delen av alla djurägare personal inom djurhälsovården innan
kastrering vilket gör det viktigt att undersöka hur djurägaren upplever effekten av kastration.
Studiens syfte är att via en enkät undersöka varför djurägare väljer att kastrera sina friska
hanhundar kirurgiskt och vilka effekter de upplever att kastreringen faktiskt har haft på hundarnas
beteende, hälsa och välfärd. Detta jämförs sedan med den litteratur som finns på ämnet för att se hur
väl det stämmer överens med djurägarnas enkätsvar.
Enkäten publicerades i Facebookgrupper där författarna ansåg att den skulle nå ut till den
avsedda målgruppen: hundägare som kastrerat sina friska hanhundar kirurgiskt inom de två senaste
åren. Helt i linje med litteraturen angav 62% av respondenterna i detta arbete att de vänt sig till en
veterinär för råd angående kastrering. Av denna anledning anser författarna att det är högst relevant
att fördjupa sig i ämnet, och därmed bidra till ett underlag som gör att djurhälsopersonal ska kunna
ge djurägare mer samstämda och korrekta svar på frågor gällande ämnet.
Enligt vad respondenterna till enkäten angivit var den vanligaste anledningen till kastrering att
djurägarna ville komma till rätta med ett eller flera oönskade beteenden. Efter ingreppet var det
beteenden som stress när löptik var i närheten, överdriven urinmarkering och juckande, även kallat
humping, som flest djurägare sett en minskning av. Ett fåtal angav även att sidoeffekter såsom
viktuppgång, pälsförändringar och ökad hunger uppkommit efter kastreringen.
Sammantaget motsvarades majoriteten av djurägarnas förväntningar och 59% av respondenterna
ansåg att deras hundars hälsa och välfärd förbättrats. I jämförelsen mellan den aktuella studien och
den litteratur som finns på ämnet såg man samband mellan respondenternas upplevda förändring i
bland annat överdriven urinering och juckande och det litteraturen visade på. Flera källor angav att
dessa beteenden minskade efter kastration, vilket korrelerade med de svar som inkommit via
författarnas enkät. Många av kastreringens effekter, till exempel huruvida viktuppgång skulle vara
en sidoeffekt, råder det dock delade åsikter om beroende på vilken källa som används.It is a common decision to castrate your dog. Dog owners usually have varying reasons as to why
they want to castrate their dogs. They also have different anticipations, and fears, about the
physiological and behavioral effects from the surgery.
According to literature most dog owners turn to veterinary health care personnel for advice
regarding castration. This makes it important to investigate how animal owners perceive the effects
of castration.
The purpose of the study was to research why animal owners choose to castrate their healthy
male dogs and the perceived effects on their behavior, health, and welfare. For this a survey was
used. The results from the survey were compared to the already existing literature on the subject.
The survey was published in different Facebook-groups in which the writers believed it would reach
the intended target group. The target group consisted of dog owners who had surgically castrated
their healthy male dog within the last two years.
Consonant with literature on the subject 62% of the respondents answered that they turned to a
veterinarian for advice about castration. For this reason, it is a highly relevant subject to immerse
into, and thereby create a base which makes it easier for veterinary health care personnel to give
consistent and adequate advice regarding castration of the male dog
According to the respondents the most common reason for castrating their dog was that they had
some sort of unwanted behavior. After the surgery most dog owners saw a decrease in behaviors
like stress when around bitches in heat, excessive urine marking and humping. A few respondents
had seen an increase in weight, hunger, and a change in fur. Overall, the effects of the castration
corresponded with the expectations from the dog owners. In the survey 59% answered that the
castration had given their dog a better health and welfare. When comparing existing literature with
the information obtained from the survey a connection is seen regarding excessive urine marking
and humping. Several sources showed that these behaviors decreased after the surgery, which
correlated with the answers from the survey. Some people suggest gaining weight could be an effect
from castration and is a matter that is still discussed
The role of bed sediments for fractionation of phosphorus in remediated ditches in Sweden
Get PDFSweden’s environmental quality objectives “A varied agricultural landscape” and “Zero eutrophication”, aims to ensure food production while reducing negative impact from fertilizers on the environment. The input ceilings of nutrient concentrations in the Baltic Sea are still critical. A great part of the nutrient pressures on lakes and seas that can be seen today are historically caused by agriculture and have turned into legacy P (phosphorus). However, there are several management practices to improve the nutrient use efficiency in agriculture, e.g., improved drainage, buffer zones, wetlands, or two-stage ditches. A two-stage ditch is a ditch design with terraces, that aims to improve water quality and increase nutrient retention within the landscape. The terraces should even out high and low flow to reduce flooding and stabilize the ditch to reduce erosion.
According to the latest estimations, the N (nitrogen) pressures in the Baltic Sea have slightly improved, but not the P pressures. Yet, the goals of nutrient concentrations and inputs in the Baltic Sea are still not achieved. P has two main pathways, either leaching in dissolved form, or absorbed to soil particles or incorporated in organic material. The P concentrations absorbed to particles are substantially higher than the P concentrations in dissolved form. There are also different types of bonds and bond strengths between P and soil particles.
The aim of this study was to investigate P dynamics in sediments of two-stage ditches, focusing on how hydrology, water chemistry and catchment properties affects P stocks.
In the study, sediments from 10 two-stage ditches in Sweden were sampled to analyse the P fractions: loosely bound P, Fe-P, Al-P, organic bound P and Ca-P, with a chemical extraction method. The P fractions and TP (total phosphorus) were then tested to see if any changes in concentration within and between the sampled two-stage ditches could be found. The P fractions and TP concentrations were also investigated with clay content, pH, DO (dissolved oxygen), BFI (baseflow index) and EPC0 to see if there were correlations that could explain observed patterns.
The results showed no significant changes for any P fractions or TP concentrations within same two-stage ditch or between the two-stage ditches. There were no significant correlations between the P fractions and TP and the characteristics of the catchment nor chemical and hydrological factors. However, patterns show that HCl-P (Ca-P), BD-P (Fe-P) and TP concentrations seem to be higher within the sediments of the channel rather than in the sediments of the terraces. HCl-P also seems to reside to a higher extent downstream within the sediments of the channels.
Higher P concentrations residing in the channels could indicate that two-stage ditches as a nutrient mitigation measure works as a P sink. Although there are risks of having large amount of P stored in sediments if any extreme weather events would occur and predicted future climate change is suggesting more frequent but intense weather events. Also, larger concentrations of P within stream sediments indicates that further research of P in sediments are needed to fully understand the P dynamics to tackle eutrophication problems and further evaluate two-stage ditches as a nutrient mitigation measure.
There are possible explanations to the varied results. E.g., features of the landscape, mineralogy, past or current agricultural practices, location of drainage pipes and dams, or legacy P could have affected the results.

Occurrence and causes of stifle problems in Boxer dogs
Get PDFUnder 1980-talet uppmärksammades problem med knälederna hos boxer och 1989 startades ett
hälsoprogram hos Svenska Kennelklubben (SKK) för boxerhundarnas knäleder som pågick fram till
år 2019. Syftet med boxerns hälsoprogram var att med hjälp av röntgen bedöma förekomst av
eventuella benpålagringar runt lederna.
Detta arbete har syftat till att undersöka förekomst, typer av och eventuell orsak till knäledsproblem hos hundrasen boxer på två sätt: en enklare enkätstudie riktad till boxerägare/-uppfödare
samt sökningar i Universitetsdjursjukhuset (UDS) journalsystem inklusive genomgång och bedömning av röntgenbilder.
Enkäten var anonym och framtogs av ansvarig student i samråd med två handledare. Den
distribuerades med hjälp av Boxerklubben samt via sociala medier. I sökningarna i UDS journalsystem valdes de boxrar som hade diagnoser relaterade till knäleden ut. För de av dessa boxrar där
röntgenbilder av knälederna fanns att tillgå gicks röntgenbilderna igenom av ansvarig student
tillsammans med båda handledarna. Röntgenbilderna bedömdes utefter fyra kategorier som
framtogs av studenten och handledarna: formen hos proximala trochlea femoris, tätheten hos kranioproximala tibia, osteofytära pålagringar runt knäleden samt mjukdelstäthet i leden.
Totalt 474 personer, som tillsammans ägde minst 1609 boxrar, besvarade enkätstudien. Av dessa
hade 189 hundar (10–14 %) haft knäledsproblem. Journalstudien visade att 533 boxrar hade besökt
UDS mellan 2010 och 2020. Av dessa sökte 34 (2–10 %) av dem för knäledsproblem varav 25
genomgått röntgen.
I studien observerades på röntgenbilderna hos ett antal boxrar en formvariation av proximala
trochlea på femur i form av en inbuktning vid den kraniala aspekten av femurs distala tillväxtzon.
Formvariationen anses matcha beskrivningar av en förändring som observerades av veterinär Lars
Audell på 1980-talet. Hos ett fåtal boxrar observerades även en variation i tätheten hos kranioproximala tibia i form av ett fokalt område med nedsatt täthet kranialt i området för tibias proximala
tillväxtzon. Studien kunde inte visa något samband mellan formvariationen hos proximala trochlean
på femur och förekomst av osteofytära pålagringar, ökad mängd mjukdelstäthet i leden, nedsatt
täthet hos kranioproximala tibia eller diagnoserna osteoartrit eller korsbandsskada. Studien visade
heller inget samband mellan nedsatt täthet hos kranioproximala tibia och förekomsten av osteofytära
pålagringar.
Tidigare studier har visat att boxrar har högre risk att drabbas av knäledsproblem jämfört med
andra raser, även om svaren från respondenterna på enkäten i denna studie indikerade att majoriteten
av djurägarna inte hade någon uppfattning om huruvida så var fallet eller ej. Korsbandsskada och
osteoartrit var de två knäledssjukdomar som var vanligast förekommande både bland enkätsvaren
och som diagnos i UDS journaler, vilket överensstämmer med tidigare litteratur.
Studien får bedömas snarare indikativ än att den kan fastställa klara samband. För att öka
förståelsen kring orsaker till knäledsproblem hos boxer och kunna ge rekommendationer bör en
utökad och fördjupad analys av knäröntgenbilder hos boxerhundar göras. Detta kompletteras
lämpligen med att följa och röntga boxrar över längre tid. På så sätt kan samband mellan knäledsproblem och de variationer i form/utseende, som denna studie noterat, hos proximala trochlea och
kranioproximala tibia verifieras eller avskrivas.During the 1980s, there was an increased awareness of stifle problems in boxer dogs, and from 1989
until 2019 there was a Swedish Kennel Club (SKK) health program screening stifle joints in boxers.
The purpose of the Boxer's screening program was to assess, using radiographs, osteophyte
formation around the joints.
This study aims to investigate occurrence, types of and possible causes of stifle problems in
boxers in two ways: a simple survey aimed at boxer owners/breeders, and a search of the University
Animal Hospitals (UDS) medical record system including a review of radiographs.
The survey was anonymous and was developed by the student in consultation with two
supervisors. It was distributed with the help of the Boxer Club and via social media. In the searches
in the UDS journal system, the boxers who had diagnoses related to the knee joint were selected.
For those of these boxers where radiographs of the knee joints were available, the radiographs were
reviewed by the student together with both supervisors. The radiographs were assessed according to
four categories that were developed by the student and the supervisors: the shape of the proximal
trochlea, the opacity of the cranioproximal tibia, occurrence of osteophytes and stifle joint soft tissue
opacity size.
A total of 474 people, who owned at least 1609 boxers, answered the survey. Of these, 189 dogs
(10–14%) had stifle joint problems. The journal study showed that 533 boxers had visited UDS
between 2010 and 2020. Of these, 34 (2–10%) visited the clinic for stifle joint problems, of which
25 underwent radiographs.
In the study, the radiographs of a number of boxers showed a shape variation of proximal
trochlea on femur in the form of an indentation at the cranial aspect of the femoral distal physis. The
shape variation was considered to match descriptions of a change observed by veterinarian Lars
Audell in the 1980s. In a few boxers, a variation in the opacity of the cranioproximal tibia was also
observed in the form of a focal area with decreased opacity cranially in the region of the proximal
physis of the tibia. The study could not show any association between the shape variation on the
proximal trochlea on the femur and the presence of osteophytes, increased soft tissue opacity size in
the joint, reduced opacity cranioproximally in the tibia or the clinical diagnoses osteoarthritis or
cruciate ligament injury. The study also showed no association between reduced opacity in the
cranioproximal of the tibia and the presence of osteophytes.
Previous studies have shown that boxers are at a higher risk of developing stifle joint problems
compared to other breeds, although the answers from the respondents to the survey in this study
indicated that the majority of pet owners did not know whether this was the case or not. Cruciate
ligament injury and osteoarthritis were the two knee diseases that were most common both among
the questionnaire responses and in the UDS records, which is consistent with previous studies.
The study may be considered indicative rather than providing definite conclusions. To increase
the understanding of the causes of knee joint problems in boxers and to be able to give
recommendations, an expanded and in-depth analysis of radiographs should be done. Such a study
can be done by following and radiographing boxers over a longer period of time, so that an
association between knee joint problems and the variations in shape/appearance that this study noted
in proximal trochlea and cranioproximal tibia can be verified or refuted
Jordförbättring med biokol från separerad rötrest och svingödsel
Get PDFThe situation in and around the Baltic Sea, with large areas with hypoxia in the sea and areas in the watershed with a high concentration of animal farms, has led to a need to increase the nutrient recycling of animal manure. High levels of phosphorus (P) in the soil lead to leaching, and by reducing the P-level in organic fertilizers, this leaching can be reduced. By transporting P to areas with few animal farms, farmers’ use of organic fertilizers can increase. Through the process of mechanical separation, it is possible to create a solid fraction that is rich in P and dry matter (DM). Since it has low water content, it is easy to transport it to areas with a large need of P. Screw press separation is an easy method that is cheap and that can be implemented on a large scale for separation of both manure and digestate. Screw press solids can be turned into biochar through pyrolysis because of the low water content. The use of separated material is beneficial for the carbon (C) sequestration of the soil, and biochar causes further stabilization of the material, making it even better for C storage. Several different methods can increase C in the soil with for example organic amendments or biochar.
This project aimed to evaluate biochar produced from screw press separated material from digestate and pig manure with respect to C stability and nitrogen (N) release during 50 days after the incorporation in soil. Two different pyrolysis temperatures (400 and 550°C) were used to produce biochar, and the treatments were tested with and without the application of mineral N. The properties were studied in a laboratory study, where biochar and solids were incubated with soil in 15°C. Samples were removed during the incubation in order to follow the development of N, C, pH and DM. CO2-emission was measured using NaOH-traps to calculate C mineralization. Mineral-N was measured by the extraction of NH4+ and NO3- with KCl.
The screw press separation of digestate resulted in 25 % of the initial P in the solid fraction and 11 % of the initial N. When processing the materials, the concentration of nutrients increased, and the stability of C increased. The addition of mineral N to the treatments incorporated into the soil resulted in lower CO2-emission. The highest emission of CO2 came from manure solids, while biochar had very low emissions. This indicates that there was a good supply of C for microorganisms to degrade in the manure solids, and that the stability of C in biochar was high. From the added C, 37 % was lost in the form of CO2 from manure solids while the biochar lost <2 % of the total amount of C. “Biochar 550” seemed to produce higher CO2-emissions, but significant differences could only be found in one biochar. There were no differences in inorganic-N levels between the biochars. An addition of N caused Net N immobilization, while the biochar without N caused mineralization.
Using screw press is a good option when treating materials such as digestate and manure. There are methods that are more effective when separating P and DM but that cost more. In our study, we found that in the short term, biochar might be able to mineralize N and increase the availability to the plant, but the total amount was very low. Biochar would be a good option for organic amendments since the loss of C is much lower than for amendments from the solid material that biochar was derived from. The application rate was equivalent to 25 000 kg/ha. Other studies have seen differences in performance in the soil and on crop yield between biochars, but in this study, the biochars were very similar when looking at CO2-emissions and N mineralization. Biochar shows potential in decreased C losses compared to their corresponding solids, and the addition of mineral N has a positive effect on CO2-emission, is which are reduced
Methane mitigating feed additives in future dairy production : consumer and producer attitudes and potential effects on dairy products
Get PDFEnteric methane emitted from ruminant metabolism is the most prominent greenhouse gas produced in livestock production. Mitigation strategies in the form of different types of methane reducing feed additives are approaching the market in near future. The effects of implementing the feed additives into the dairy sector was evaluated in this study. The chemical synthesized compound 3-Nitrooxypropanol and the algae Asparagopsis taxiformis are the most prominent methane reducing feed additives with the potential of reducing enteric methane production up to 30% without reducing milk yield or nutrient utilization. Effects on volatile fatty acids, protein profile, and fatty acid composition observed encourage further studies on milk quality to ensure that dairy products are not affected. The concentration of different fatty acids and protein shifted, while the total concentration of fat and protein in the milk was unaffected. Compounds deriving from methane mitigating additives in the form of bromoform and nitrites have known health concerns in larger quantities. Accumulation and excretion of these compounds is an area of research needed to ensure a safe long-term usage. The possibility of economic foundation, and survey results showing optimism amongst both consumers and producers support further studies for implementation of methane reducing feed additives into the dairy production.Metan som bildas och släpps ut från idisslarens metabolism är den mest framträdande växthusgasen som produceras i nötkreaturproduktion. En ny strategi för att minska metanutsläpp är i form av metanreducerande fodertillsatser som i olika form närmar sig marknaden inom en snar framtid. Effekterna av att införa fodertillsatserna i mejerisektorn utvärderades i denna studie. Den kemiskt syntetiserade föreningen 3-Nitrooxipropanol och algen Asparagopsis taxiformis är de mest framträdande metanreducerande fodertillskotten med potential att minska metanproduktion med upp till 30 % utan att minska mjölkutbytet eller näringsutnyttjandet. Effekter på flyktiga fettsyror, proteinprofil och fettsyrasammansättning har observerats och uppmuntrar ytterligare studier på mjölkkvalitet för att säkerställa att mejeriproduktionen inte påverkas. Koncentrationen av olika fettsyror och protein skiftade, medan den totala koncentrationen av fett och protein i mjölken var opåverkad. Föreningar som härrör från metanreducerande tillsatser i form av bromoform och nitriter har kända hälsoproblem i större mängder. Ackumulering och utsöndring av dessa föreningar är ett fortsatt forskningsområde som behövs för att säkerställa en säker långtidsanvändning. Möjligheten till ekonomiskt stöd för dessa tillskott samt enkätresultat som visar optimism bland både konsumenter och producenter stödjer ytterligare studier för införande av metanreducerande tillsatser i mejeriproduktionen
Reactive dogs in Sweden : a survey to dog owners with reactive dogs
Get PDFReactivity can be explained as an animal’s sensitivity to environmental stimuli. Characteristics for reactivity in dogs are quick and intense reaction to different stimuli. The behaviours can be shown as aggression, fear, and excitement, such as barking, lunges and withdrawal. Reactivity is a personality in the dog and is strongly paired with fear. Many different factors may have an impact on the reactive behaviours in dogs. The aim of this study was to investigate some of them. Some of these are inadequate early socialisation, the owners experience and knowledge, their use of different training methods and previous experiences in the dogs. A big issue of reactivity in dogs are stress, which have a negative impact on dogs’ welfare. It is also stressful for the owners to have a dog that react in a problematic manner since they are often misunderstood by the general public. The lack of understanding may make some owners feel isolated.
The study was done by an online questionnaire and 162 complete questionnaires were collected where the owners perceived their dog as reactive. Forty-two percent perceived their dog as ”moderate reactive” and 43% considered that the reactivity was due to fear/insecurity. Many of the respondents had no knowledge about their dog’s socialization at an early age since many of the dogs were rehomed or adopted. Fifty-seven percent of the dogs had experienced some kind of traumatic event, such as dog attacks, rough handle or abuse. As a source of information, the internet was most indicated, together with social media and different social platforms. Increased knowledge about reactivity in dogs, causes and symptoms, can help prevent reactive behaviours and will promote welfare in dogs
Feed consumption and live weight gain of dairy heifers fed biorefined grass-clover silage pulp
Get PDFBioraffinering är en process där ensilage eller grönmassa, med hjälp av en skruvpress, delas upp i en presskaka och en pressjuice. Presskakan kan utfodras till idisslare och pressjuicen kan utfodras till grisar, bioraffinering möjliggör därför utfodring av vall till grisar i större utsträckning och ger på så vis vallen ett bredare användningsområde. Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka utfodring av presskaka från ensilage till mjölkraskvigor och utvärdera foderåtgång, tillväxt och hull.
Utfodringsförsöket ägde rum på naturbruksskolan Sötåsen i Töreboda. Mjölkkobesättningen är ekologisk och består av cirka 70 mjölkande kor och rekrytering. Försöket började 24 november 2021 och avslutades 5 maj 2022, i min uppsats ingår data fram till den 6 april 2022. I försöket ingick totalt 36 kvigor varav 18 utfodrades med ensilage och 18 utfodrades med presskaka från ensilaget. Samtliga fodermängder registrerades och foderprov togs en gång i veckan. Foderresterna från varje grupp vägdes och registrerades varje morgon. Kvigorna vägdes och hullbedömdes en gång i månaden så att vikt och hull registrerades på individnivå. Därefter justerades foderstaterna efter medelvikten för varje grupp. Resultatet av utfodringsförsöket visade att foderåtgång, tillväxt och hull inte påverkades negativt när presskaka från gräs/klöverensilage i stället för ensilage utfodrades till mjölkraskvigor.Biorefining is a process where silage or fresh grass is pressed through a biorefinery, resulting in two fractions of the silage or the fresh grass, the silage pulp, which can be fed to ruminants and the liquid phase, which can be fed to pigs. Biorefining makes it therefore possible to feed silage to pigs to a greater extent and gives the forage a wider range of applications. The aim of this study was to evaluate feed consumption, live weight gain and body condition score of dairy heifers fed grass-clover silage pulp.
The feeding experiment was conducted at the agricultural high school Sötåsen in Töreboda. The dairy cow herd was organic and consisted of about 70 lactating dairy cows and replacement heifers. The experiment started November 24, 2021 and ended May 5, 2022. Data until April 6 are included in my BcS thesis. The experiment included a total of 36 heifers, of which 18 were fed silage and the other 18 heifers were fed silage pulp. Every feed weight was recorded and sampled once a week. The feed residues from each group were weighed and recorded every morning. The heifers were weighed, and body condition scored once a month. Weight and body condition score were recorded at an individual level and feed rations were adjusted by the average weight of each group. Results from the feeding experiment showed that feed consumption, live weight gain and body condition score were not negatively affected when fibre pulp from the grass-clover silage instead of the grass-clover silage was fed to dairy heifers
Integrating nature in urban areas : how natural structures and features in urban spaces contribute to human health and well-being as well as biodiversity
Get PDFNature has shown to have many positive effects on our health and well-being as it benefi ts
both our physical and mental health. Still, it has seldom been included in development processes in urban areas, which has led green spaces to become fragmented, resulting in decreasing the diversity of species. Urban biodiversity today, in contrast to the natural landscape,
mainly consists of generalist species that are able to adapt to urban conditions and human
disturbances. This makes it important to preserve biodiversity in urban areas, as it can benefi t
humans as well. This study has through the means of a literature study examined how nature
can be integrated in urban areas and at the same time promote both human needs and
biodiversity by looking at the natural landscape. It has further looked into how urban green
spaces can help mitigate the negative effect on the climate.
The results suggest that the needs of biodiversity in urban areas can have many synergies
with human needs, it can also raise confl icts affecting the relationship between humans and
biodiversity. Further, it has also been shown that urbanization itself is often in confl ict with
both human needs and biodiversity, a confl ict that can be solved through strategic designing.
The structures and features found in the urban landscape do not help to mitigate the negative climate effects, but that the natural structures do help to mitigate them. The present
study has also shown that to integrate nature in urban areas and still attend to human needs,
urban inhabitants need to have knowledge of nature — how it works and its benefi ts. This is
because the literature has shown that knowledge about nature changes humans preferences
and attitude towards it. Because it is only when we understand the contributions nature
provides us and our needs that we can fully integrate nature to further promote biodiversity
in urban areas
Hur ska man utveckla en begravningsplats i stadsmiljö för att främja insekter? : fallstudie gällande Fredentorp i Lund
Get PDFAvsikten med detta arbete är att undersöka begravningsplatsen i Fredentorp och att se vilka
fördelar platsen har för den biologiska mångfalden. Samt undersöka om området kräver förbättring
för att gynna pollinatörer. I dagsläget känner inte många till begravningsplatsen i Fredentorp. Det
innebär att platsen ännu är till stor del okänd för allmänheten. Det finns mycket få undersökningar
angående hur platsen bidrar till den biologiska mångfalden.
Begravningsplatsen i Fredentorp är lokaliserad i Lunds norra del och har fått namnet ”Den nya
begravningsplatsen i Lund”. Begravningsplatsen uppges ha en omfattning på 36 ha och blir större i
takt med lundabornas behov av nya gravytor (Nathell 2021). I området finner man förhistoriska
gravar från bronsåldern, som medför höga förhistoriska värden (Svenska kyrkan 2019). Det finns
möjlighet i dagsläget för både kistbegravning och urnsättning i Fredentorps begravningsplats
(Nathell 2021).
Syftet med arbetet har varit att lyfta fram vilka habitat som är möjliga att uppfylla på en
begravningsplats och hur skötsel och förvaltning kan arbeta för att främja dessa. För att kunna
klarlägga varför biologisk mångfald behövs inleddes arbetet med en litteraturstudie. För vidare
utveckla arbetet har intervjuer och platsbesök gjorts som ligger till grund för en fallstudie för
Fredentorps begravningsplats. Det har gjorts jämförelser av Fredentorps olika kvarter för att ta
reda på eventuella skillnader för den biologiska mångfalden.
Begravningsplatser har i dagsläget en väldigt intensiv skötsel som innebär att ytorna förmedlar ett
mycket städat uttryck. Resultatet visar att skötseln i kvarter med gravanläggning görs mindre
intensiv kommer Fredentorps biologiska mångfald att öka.The purpose of this work is to investigate the cemetery in Fredentorp and to see what benefits the
cemetery has for biodiversity. At present, not many people know about the cemetery in
Fredentorp. This means that the cemetery is still largely unknown to the public. There are very few
studies on the contribution of the cemetries to biodiversity.
The Fredentorp cemetery is located in the northern part of Lund and has been named "The new
cemetery in Lund". The cemetery is reported to have a size of 36 ha and is growing in size as
Lunders need new burial sites (Nathell 2021). Prehistoric graves from the Bronze Age are found in
the area, which imply high prehistoric values (Church of Sweden 2019). There are currently
possibilities for both coffin burial and urn burials at the cemetary (Nathell 2021).
The conclusion is that if the management in blocks with burials is made less intensive,
Fredentorp's biodiversity will increase.
The aim of the work has been to highlight the habitats that can be met in a cemetery and how
management and administration can work to promote these. In order to clarify why biodiversity is needed, the work began with a literature review. To further develop the work, interviews and site
visits were conducted which formed the basis of a case study for Fredentorp Cemetery.
Comparisons were made between the different blocks of Fredentorp to identify any differences in
biodiversity.
Cemeteries are currently very intensively managed, which means that the surfaces convey a very
tidy appearance. The results show that if the management of the burial blocks is made less
intensive, the biodiversity of Fredentorp will increase
The impact of personality in the profession as a riding teacher
Get PDFVarje person är unik och varje person som undervisar gör det utifrån sin egen personlighet. I sin yrkesutövning möter ridläraren människor i olika åldrar och med olika kunskap vilket skapar pedagogiska utmaningar. Hur en ridlärare tar sig an dessa utmaningar och undervisar sina elever påverkas av ridlärarens personlighet, egna erfarenheter och personliga mognad. Fördjupade kunskaper om personlighetens betydelse i yrket som ridlärare ökar förutsättningarna för framtida ridlärare att skapa goda relationer. Bra relationer skapar goda förutsättningar för lärande. Syftet med studien var att undersöka om ridlärares personlighet påverkade dem i rollen som ridlärare. Frågeställningarna arbetet utgick ifrån var: Hur uppfattar ridlärare sin yrkesroll? Hur upplever ridlärare att deras personlighet framträder i yrkesrollen? Hur definierar ridlärarna den egna personlighetens påverkan på yrkesrollen? Frågeställningarna besvarades genom att sju ridlärare intervjuades och fick genomföra personlighetstest.
