Kalvens utveckling från födsel till produktion

Syfte med detta arbete är att få reda på vilken skötsel som är bäst för kalvens utveckling och hälsa. I arbetet beskrivs olika faktorer som påverkar hurudan mjölkko det blir av kalven. Målet med detta arbete är att få fram de bästa sätten att sköta om kalvar. I arbetet beskrivs kalvens utveckling, utfodring, utrymmes krav, vanligaste sjukdomarna hos kalvar och när kalven blir en kviga. Av dessa faktorer skall det kunna beskriva vilken slags skötsel som är bäst för kalven. För att nå målet i arbetet används kvalitativ forskning och intervju med fyra olika ladugårdsföretagare. Från intervjuerna får man olika synpunkter av fyra olika personer. I arbetet kommer det fram att bra mjölkkor får man av välskötta kalvar. Om kalven har bra utfodring och bra skötsel har den en bra chans att bli en bra mjölkande ko. Det beskrivs också vilka metoder som är mindre bra med tanke på kalvens utveckling och hälsa.Tämän opinnäytetyön tarkoituksena on selvittää, mikä hoito on paras vasikan kehitykselle ja terveydelle. Työssä otetaan huomioon erilaisia tekijöitä, jotka vaikuttavat siihen millainen lehmä vasikasta tulee. Lopputyön tarkoituksena on löytää parhaimpia tapoja hoitaa vasikoita. Siinä kerrotaan vasikan ruokinnasta, tilavaatimuksista, vasikoiden yleisimmistä sairauksista ja milloin vasikasta tulee hieho. Edellä mainittujen aiheiden käsittelystä on tarkoitus saada kuva siitä, minkälainen hoito on vasikalle parasta. Tavoitteen saavuttamiseksi työssä käytetään kvalitatiivista tutkimustapaa ja haastattelu neljän karjanomistajan kanssa. Haastatteluista saadaan selville erilaisia näkemyksiä neljältä eri ihmiseltä. Opinnäytetyöstä selviää, että hyvän lypsylehmän saa hyvin hoidetusta vasikasta. Jos vasikka on hyvin ruokittu ja saanut parasta mahdollista hoitoa, on sillä mahdollisuus tulla hyväksi lypsylehmäksi. Tekstissä kerrotaan myös mitkä hoitotavat johtavat huonon vasikan kehittymiseen.The purpose of this work is to find out which care is best for the calf’s development and health. The work describes various factors that affect what kind of cow you get from the calf. The aim of this work is to find out the best way to handle calves. The work describes calf development, feeding, space requirements, common diseases among calves and describes how a calf becomes a heifer. These factors should describe what care the calf needs. In order to achieve this works goals, qualitative research and interviews will be used in the work. From these interviews, from the interviews you received views from four different people.

Estimation of confidence limits for descriptive indexes derived from autoregressive analysis of time series: Methods and application to heart rate variability

The growing interest in personalized medicine requires making inferences from descriptive indexes estimated from individual recordings of physiological signals, with statistical analyses focused on individual differences between/within subjects, rather than comparing supposedly homogeneous cohorts. To this end, methods to compute confidence limits of individual estimates of descriptive indexes are needed. This study introduces numerical methods to compute such confidence limits and perform statistical comparisons between indexes derived from autoregressive (AR) modeling of individual time series. Analytical approaches are generally not viable, because the indexes are usually nonlinear functions of the AR parameters. We exploit Monte Carlo (MC) and Bootstrap (BS) methods to reproduce the sampling distribution of the AR parameters and indexes computed from them. Here, these methods are implemented for spectral and information-theoretic indexes of heart-rate variability (HRV) estimated from AR models of heart-period time series. First, the MS and BC methods are tested in a wide range of synthetic HRV time series, showing good agreement with a gold-standard approach (i.e. multiple realizations of the "true" process driving the simulation). Then, real HRV time series measured from volunteers performing cognitive tasks are considered, documenting (i) the strong variability of confidence limits\ue2\u80\u99 width across recordings, (ii) the diversity of individual responses to the same task, and (iii) frequent disagreement between the cohort-average response and that of many individuals. We conclude that MC and BS methods are robust in estimating confidence limits of these AR-based indexes and thus recommended for short-term HRV analysis. Moreover, the strong inter-individual differences in the response to tasks shown by AR-based indexes evidence the need of individual-by-individual assessments of HRV features. Given their generality, MC and BS methods are promising for applications in biomedical signal processing and beyond, providing a powerful new tool for assessing the confidence limits of indexes estimated from individual recordings

Long term accuracy of fluorescence polarization immunoassays for gentamicin, tobramycin, netilmicin and vancomycin

External quality control was performed during six years to determine the accuracy over time of the Abbott TDx fluorescence polarization system for assaying antibiotics. Unknown spiked serum samples of gentamicin, tobramycin, netilmicin and vancomycin were provided monthly by the British national external quality assessment scheme. Comparison of the 209 assay results with the target concentrations showed good correlations in all four assays. No significant deviations from linearity, from slope 1·0, and from intercept 0·0 were detected by regression analysis. Relative deviations were <10% and <15% for 78% and 90% of all specimens, respectively. On an average the same calibration curves could be used over a period of 19 weeks . Fluorescence polarization immunoassays provided rapid and reliable results over the entire study perio

Ateriarytmi, suola ja sokeri : Tahdon Voimaa painonhallinta - projekti

Tämän opinnäytetyön tarkoitus oli selvittää ateriarytmin, suolan ja sokerin vaikutuksia aikuisten painonhallintaan ja kokonaisvaltaiseen hyvinvointiin. Perehdyimme myös motivoivaan elintapaohjaukseen ryhmässä, jonka pohjalta suunnittelimme kattavan, mielekkään ja opinnäytetyön aihetta koskevan ohjaustilaisuuden. Annoimme tietoa Tahdon Voimaa painonhallintaan –kohderyhmälle ryhmänohjauksen muodossa omassa ohjaustilaisuudessamme. Kurssin myötä fyysisen aktiivisuuden, terveellisen ruokavalion ja psyykkisen hyvinvoinnin painonhallinnan näkökulmasta toivottiin saavan pysyvä jalansija ryhmäläisten arjessa. Tahdon Voimaa painonhallintaan –projekti sijoittui syksylle 2016 ja kesti yhteensä seitsemän viikkoa. Projektiin ilmoittautui 25 ihmistä viidestä eri liitosta. Projektin aikana toteutettiin yhteensä seitsemän erilaista ohjaustilaisuutta painonhallinnan eri näkökulmista, viikon jokaisena maanantaina. Alkumittaukseen osallistui 23 ihmistä ja loppumittaukseen 13 ihmistä. Mittauksissa otettiin huomioon sukupuoli, ikä, pituus, paino, verenpaine, pulssi, vyötärönympärys ja painoindeksi. Projektin viimeisellä ohjauskerralla kohderyhmäläiset antoivat palautetta kurssin toteutuksesta palautelomakkeella, jonka avulla saimme selville heidän omia tuntemuksiaan projektista ja sitoutumisesta painonhallintaan. Opinnäytetyön johtopäätöksenä voidaan todeta, että ryhmäläiset olivat tyytyväisiä Tahdon Voimaa painonhallintaan –projektiin, ohjaukseen ja kokivat sen vastanneen odotuksia. Tuloksissa tulee kuitenkin huomioida ryhmäkoon pieneneminen projektin edetessä. Loppumittaukseen osallistuneita oli kymmenen vähemmän kuin alkumittauksessa.The purpose of this thesis was to find out the effects of meal rhythm, salt, and sugar on adults’ weight management and overall well-being. We also concentrated on motivational lifestyle guidance in a group. Based on these theories we designed a comprehensive and meaningful group control time which was regarded in the topics of our thesis. We provided information for Will Power to weight management target group in our own group control time. Rate the physical activity, healthy eating and mental well-being of a weight management point of view. Our purpose was to receive a permanent foothold in the everyday lives of group members. Will Power to weight management -project was held in Autumn of 2016 and it lasted seven weeks overall. The project enrolled 25 people from five different unions. During the project, a total of seven kinds of opportunity to control different aspects of weight management was held on every Monday. 23 people took part in initial measurement and 13 people took part in the final measure-ment. The measurements included gender, age, height, weight, blood pressure, pulse, waist cir-cumference and body mass index. In the last group control time, the members of the group had the opportunity to give feedback about the course in a questionnaire. In this way, we were able to get information on their own feelings about the project and how dedicated they were in weight management. The conclusion of the thesis would be that the group members were satisfied with Will Power to weight management -project. It seemed to met their expectations. Although we must take into account the truth that the group size decreased during the project. There were ten fewer group members that took part in final measurements that there were in initial measurements
