Travsporten i sociala medier
âSociala medier Ă€r ett monster.â Sociala medier Ă€r nutidens bĂ€sta sĂ€tt att marknadsföra sig pĂ„, det Ă€r gratis och lĂ€ttillgĂ€ngligt. Det Ă€r pĂ„ sociala medier vi hittar inspirationen och det Ă€r dĂ€r travsporten ska förmedla kĂ€nslan av hur kul det Ă€r med trav. Enligt en undersökning som gjorts gĂ„r det utlĂ€sa att mĂ€nniskor anvĂ€nder sina bĂ€rbara teknikprylar som telefon och Ipad för att till 40 procent följa sociala medier. Sociala medier Ă€r nĂ„got som bĂ„de pĂ„verkar, upprör och berör oss.
Studiens problemformulering Àr följande: Sociala medier Àr idag en del av vardagen i samhÀllet. Allt fler företag och organisationer vÀljer att marknadsföra sig via sociala medier. Var i detta flöde finns travsporten?
Studiens syfte Àr att skildra ett nulÀge för svensk travsports förhÄllande till att marknadsföra sig i sociala medier sett ur en publik synvinkel.
Kopplat till dagslÀget och problemlösningen Àr frÄgestÀllningen följande: Hur nÄr svensk travsport ut till ungdomar via sociala medier?
Studien genomfördes med en kvantitativ metod i form av enkĂ€tundersökningar. Litteraturstudier Ă€r ocksĂ„ gjorda för att klargöra vad sociala medier Ă€r och hur de anvĂ€nds i marknadsföringssyfte. Det Ă€r grundlĂ€ggande fakta för att kunna svara pĂ„ arbetets frĂ„gestĂ€llning. Ăven en skrivbordsstudie har gjorts som bestĂ„r i en kartlĂ€ggning av travbanornas aktivitet i sociala medier.
Resultatet visar att framkanten inte Àr nÄdd vad gÀller travsportens anvÀndande av sociala medier. Travsporten finns dÀr och den nÄr ut, men inte till alla och framförallt nÄr den inte ut till den grupp den helst vill nÄ ut till, ungdomarna. Av resultatet frÄn enkÀtundersökningen gÄr det tyda att det idag inte Àr den yngre Äldersgruppen som har mest kontakt med travsporten via sociala medier. Studien visar dock att det hos unga mÀnniskor finns ett intresse av att fÄ information om travsporten samt möta sportens profiler.
Svensk travsport finns i sociala medier men med en trubbig kant som behöver vÀssas. Det finns av resultatet att tyda en grupp som travsporten inte nÄr ut till. En grupp om Àr födda pÄ 90-talet och som vÀxt upp med sociala medier. En grupp som kan sociala medier men som inte hittat travsporten dÀr. Travsporten behöver tillsÀtta mer resurser för att nÄ ut till de ungdomar dem vill ska bli en del av sporten. Sporten mÄste nÄ ungdomarna om ungdomarna ska nÄ sporten
Artificial insemination in South American camelids and wild equids
An overview of the present status of the use of artificial insemination (AI) in South American camelids and wild equids is offered. Technical aspects of semen collection, dilution and cryopreservation have limited the development and use of AI in camelid and equid species. To-date, efficiency is low but progress has been made and viable offspring have been produced through the use of AI in domestic South American camelids using both fresh and frozen semen. The origin, composition, and function of the viscous component of camelid seminal plasma remain a mystery and an obvious area for future research. A better understanding of the normal constituents of seminal plasma will enable the rational design of semen extenders suitable for camelids. Post-thaw sperm viability is very low, and studies are needed to address questions of optimal freezing and thawing procedures as well as the insemination dose. The basis for differences in reported pregnancy rates with sexed and frozen semen in domestic equids, and the ultimate success of AI in wild equids will require continued research into the ââstallion effectââ, extenders and cryoprotectants, optimal volume and number of spermatozoa, temperatures during handling, processing an transport, and insemination techniques. In both camelids and equids, research on domestic species under controlled conditions provides and excellent opportunity to develop effective semen handling techniques for application in wild and endangered species of the respective families
Whatâs the VALUE of Information Literacy? Comparing Learning Community and Non-Learning Community Student Learning Outcomes
Using the Information Literacy VALUE Rubric provided by the AAC&U, this study compares thirty final capstone assignments in a research course in a learning community with thirty final assignments in from students not in learning communities. Results indicated higher performance of the non-learning community students; however, transfer skills were higher with the learning community students. Reasons for the findings are discussed, along with suggestions for future research. This article contributes to the growing literature about the role of librarians and information literacy in learning communities
Evidence to inform occupational therapy intervention with adults with intellectual disability: A scoping review
Importance: Occupational therapy practitioners use a range of habilitative and compensatory approaches to teach new skills or modify tasks and environments to address occupational performance among adults with intellectual disability (ID); therefore, they must identify and use available evidence to guide intervention planning. Objective: To summarize the scope of evidence that can inform occupational therapy intervention with adults with primary or comorbid ID. Data Sources: Articles published in peer-reviewed journals between January 2002 and January 2018 and indexed in PubMed, CINAHL, PsycINFO, and Scopus. Study Selection and Data Collection: A total of 159 articles met inclusion criteria and contained information on occupational therapy intervention with adults ages 18 yr or older with primary or coexisting ID. Findings: Fifty-seven of the 159 articles focused on intervention to address occupational performance outcomes (i.e., employment, self-care, leisure and social interaction, community participation). Conclusions and Relevance: A wide range of literature is available to support occupational therapy intervention with adults with ID. Occupational therapy practitioners may be less knowledgeable about this evidence because much of it is located in non-occupational therapy or international journals
The ovine hepatic mitochondrial proteome: understanding seasonal weight loss tolerance in two distinct breeds
Research ArticleSeasonal weight loss (SWL) is a primary constraint for farmers in the Mediterranean and
tropics. One cost-effective solution to SWL is utilizing breeds like the Damara sheep that
have adapted to deal with nutritional stress. Previous studies concluded that one of the
adaptation mechanisms of SWL is a specialized fatty acid metabolism. Accordingly,
hepatic-mitochondrial proteomes were compared across two different breeds (24 sheep
total, Merino, n = 12 and Damara, n = 12) and two different diets (restricted vs unrestricted
diet, 6 per breed, per diet, 24 total). Mitochondrial-proteins were isolated and relatively quantified
using Blue native PAGE / 2D-electrophoresis and then analyzed via mass spectrometry.
The tool ReviGO summarized the proteomesâ gene-ontology terms. A total of 50
proteins were identified with 7 changing significantly in abundance (ANOVA p-value<0.05).
Specific abundance patterns of corticosteroid and inflammatory response-associated proteins
such as annexin and glutamate dehydrogenase suggests that the Damara has an
unusual inflammation response when subjected to SWL in addition to its unique metabolism.
All significant proteins warrant further study; Annexin in particular shows promise as a
potentially useful biomarkerinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
