En plan för rättivsa - En studie om jämställdhet och mångfald i Lunds kommun
No full textThis essay investigates how issues about gender equality and diversity are understood in local government. The study is conducted in the municipality of Lund and is based on material such as equal opportunities programs and multiplicity plans. The author uses intersectionality theory to explore if these questions are seen as separated or interacted with each other. By using discourse analysis five different themes are found in the material. The themes are “What do the words gender equality and diversity really mean?”, “A question about equity”, “A question about profitability”, “The citizen perspective”, “Intersectionality”, “Gender equality and diversity – a question of priority?”. The results show that the word diversity is understood differently in the programs and plans. Diversity is associated with equity and profitability meanwhile gender equality is seen from a equity perspective. Many of the programs are referring to laws that don’t exist anymore, which can question the priority. The plans and programs does not include an intersectional understanding of discrimination
CCM majs och majsensilage i praktiken
No full textEn god hygienisk kvalité och ett bra näringsvärde i sitt foder är en viktig del i produktionen och för lönsamheten. Majsensilage blir allt vanligare i svenska foderstater
och något som är relativt nytt i Sverige är Corn Cob Mix, förkortas CCM-majs. En god kvalité kan uppnås genom rätt skördetidpunkt, sortval och motverka värmegång i
ensilaget genom rätt val av tillsatsmedel. Syftet med denna rapport var att jämföra den hygieniska kvalitén av CCM-majs, kärnmajs och majsensilage i synnerhet och öka
kunskapen om CCM-majs i allmänhet.
Ambitionen är att få ökad användning av CCM-majs och förbättra konkurrenskraften hos gris, mjölk- och nötköttsproducenter i Sverige. Under försöket samlades prover från majsensilage och CCM-majs in för analyser från både Sverige och Danmark. Under gårdsbesöken genomfördes intervjuer av lantbrukare med avseende skördemetod och
tillsatsmedel. Resultatet visar på en obefintlig halt (< log 2cfu/g) av mögelsvamp i CCM-majs och majsensilaget.
Resultatet visar att CCM-majsen har en låg halt av jästsvampar medan halterna var något förhöjda i majsensilaget. I resultatet finns ett samband av högre halter av mögelsvamp i ensilage utan tillsatsmedel, dessutom från gården i Henne som har använt
bakteriepreparatet ECO CORN from ECO SYL. Vidare ser vi fler samband som hög etanolhalt, vilket ger en följd av höga värden på estrarna, ethylacetat och ethyllactat.
Ensilage tar lättare värme om man inte använder tillsatsmedel, vilket kan vara en orsak till jästsvampar. Vi kan även se en högre halt av ammoniak i proverna som inte använt sig av tillsatsmedel.
Stärkelsehalten i CCM-majsen visar en väsentlig skillnad mot majsensilaget. Vi ser höga värden från CCM-majsen, vilket förklarar att man får en högre koncentration av
stärkelse när man bara skördar kolven. Kolhydraterna (fiber, stärkelse och socker) är de viktigaste energikällorna i majs. För att bestämma fiberhalten analyseras NDF.
Inlagringen av fiber sker i stjälken, och foder med höga NDF-halter finns främst i foder med en hög andel stjälk, som exempel majsensilage (Svensson, 2010). NDF-halten
minskar vid senare mognad, smältbarheten hos NDF minskar även vid senare mognad.
En hel del luckor finns i forskningen kring mykotoxiner, vilket gör att det inte varit helt lätt att tolka resultaten. Men inga höga värden har visats i resultaten, förutom gården i Henne som skiljde sig från de andra resultaten. En av orsakerna till varför mögelsvampar utvecklas och produceras toxiner kan vara att ensilaget tagit värme. Det innebär en minskad produktion och utnyttjande hos idisslare. Slutsatsen är att man bör
använda tillsatsmedel vid ensilering för att förhindra framförallt varmgång och höga värden på estrarna.A good hygienic quality and good nutrition in animal feed is an important component in dairy production. Maize silage is becoming more common in Swedish dairy cow feed
rations and something that is relatively new in Sweden is Corn Cob Mix, abbreviated CCM maize. A good feed quality can be achieved through proper harvest time, variety
selection, and the right choice of additive. The purpose of this report was to compare the hygienic quality of CCM maize and maize silage.
The ambition is to increase the use of CCM maize and improve the competitiveness of pig, dairy and beef producers in Sweden. During the investigation, samples were
collected from maize kernels, maize silage and CCM maize in for analyzes from both Sweden and Denmark. During the farm visits, farmers were interviewed about harvesting methods and additives. Since the analyzes are expensive, not more than 11 farms could be investigated.
Results show no molds in both CCM maize and corn silage. The investigated CCM maize had a low content of yeast while the levels were higher in corn silage. A conclusion of the results is higher levels of mold in silage without additives. As well from the farm in Henne who used bacterial treatment ECO CORN from ECO SYL.
Silage stores in heat if you do not use additives, which may be a cause of yeast. We can also see a higher concentration of ammonia in the samples that did not used any additives.
The starch content in CCM was higher than in the corn silage, because of the higher proportion of stem. The carbohydrates (fiber, starch and sugar) are important chemical components in maize. Deposition of fibers occurs in the stem, and feed with high NDF concentrations are found mainly in animal feed with a high proportion of stem, for example maize silage (Smith, 2010). NDF content decreases at later maturity, digestibility of NDF also decreases at later maturity. The formation of mykotoxins is not yet fully understood. Generally, mykotoxins were very low in the investigated maize.
On one farm, Henne, Mycotoxins was at a higher level in the CCM and corn kernels. Conclusion is that we should use additives when making maize silage
The influence of ICT on the activity patterns of children with physical disabilities outside school
No full textAim:To investigate the outside school activity patterns of children with physical disabilities, and specifically their information and communication technology (ICT) usage compared with that of non-disabled children. In addition, the aim was to investigate the children's opinions on computer use and the associations between their use of the Internet and their interaction with peers. Methods: Questionnaire on activities outside school, answered by 215 children and youths with physical disabilities, mean age 12 years 10 months, attending mainstream schools. For group comparisons with non-disabled children, data from the survey 'Kids and Media' were used. Results In the analysis, two sets of activity patterns were identified, depending on whether the child was disabled or not and on the gender of the child. A higher proportion of children with physical disabilities were engaged in ICT activities, while non-disabled children tended to be engaged in a broader range of activities outside school. The activity pattern was more uniform for boys and girls with disabilities than for their non-disabled peers. Use of the Internet was positively associated with peer interaction. Conclusion: Outside school, the activity patterns of children and youths with physical disabilities seem to be characterized by a focus on ICT activities, which enable children to compensate for their impairment because it suits all. In addition, digital skills developed outside school engage children with physical disabilities, giving them increased access to society and for educational purposes.</p
