Organisationen British Dyslexia Association (BDA) har utifrån olika kriterier skapat ett register,Council for the Registration of Schools Teaching Dyslexic Pupils (Crested). Utifrån kriterierna kan enskola ansöka om att bli en certifierad dyslexiskola. Ett av syftena med organisationen och registret äratt hjälpa elever och föräldrar att hitta en skola som når upp till Crested:s standard samt att förbättrakvaliteten på skolor som undervisar dyslektiska elever. Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka hurnågra lärare upplever att deras skolor uppfyller en certifiering utifrån Crested:s kriterier för enDyslexia Specialist Provision School (DSP). Det teoretiska perspektivet är pragmatismen och dessholistiska synsätt på skola och utbildning. Uppsatsen tar vidare sin utgångspunkt från densamhällsvetenskapliga synen på dyslexi. Underlaget baseras på 24 lärare, som undervisar i svenska iårskurserna 4-6, vilka representerar 12 skolor och 6 kommuner. Resultaten i enkäten visar att gradenav uppfyllelse för de olika kriterierna skiftar mycket. Exempelvis förefaller lärarens utbildningsnivåinom dyslexi vara begränsad. Vidare var kriterier för lärarnas kunskaper inom digitala hjälpmedelsvårare att uppnå i jämfört med elevernas tillgång till läromedel. Utifrån Crested:s kriterier fanns detingen skola av de studerade som skulle nå upp till en godkänd nivå i samtliga kriterier. Faktorer somdiskuteras i studien och som kan ha påverkat den låga uppfyllelsegraden är vissa strukturella faktorerså som bl a decentraliseringen av skolan på 90-talet, speciallärarutbildningens borttagning frånuniversiteten samt det sena införandet av IT och bristen på utbildning om det i svenska skolor. Vidareidentifieras en obekant faktor som hindrar tillgång till hjälpmedel trots en god kunskap hos lärarna.För att skapa en positiv förändring i Sverige, skulle vi initialt behöva något som liknar Crested:skriterier som skolorna kan förhålla sig till. Man bör dock betänka att det är en resurskrävande insatssom inte med lätthet kommer att kunna hanteras av motsvarande svenska intresseorganisationer. Trotsen resurskrävande insats finns skäl att tro att vinsten kan långsiktigt bli stor.

To differ from the usually applied Eulerian method for describing the motion of fluid, the governing equations complete in the Lagrangian form for describing three-dimensional progressive and short-crested waves system are derived in this paper. A systematical ordering expansion by an appropriate perturbation approximation is developed, and the exactly satisfactory solutions in a form of functional, up to third-order progressive waves and up to second-order short-crested waves, are obtained. The kinematic properties of the waves, including the surface profile, pressure, the paths of fluid particles, and the mass transport velocity, are then described directly. The obtained solution for the short-crested waves system is successfully verified by reducing to two special cases, one is the two-dimensional simple progressive waves, and the other is the two-dimensional standing waves. Also, the analytical results are compared with experimental data including the surface profiles, the pressures and the paths of fluid particles for validation.

Three experiments were conducted to determine the effects of source (experiment 1), frequency, and level (experiments 2 and 3) of energy supplementation on performance, forage utilization and intake, productivity, rumen fermentation, and nutrient digestibility of growing beef cattle fed stockpiled forage. In experiment 1 (EXP1) and experiment 2 (EXP2), 45 cross bred yearling steers were managed on stockpiled crested wheatgrass pasture over 70 days during summer/fall of 2011 and 2012. Steers were stratified by IBW (EXP1 = 334±1.2 kg; EXP2 = 358±1.8 kg) and allocated randomly to 1 of 9 crested wheatgrass pastures (5 steers/pasture). Each pasture was randomly assigned to 1 of 3 replicated (n = 3) treatments. In EXP1, two isonitrogenous and isocaloric by-product feed pellets that differed in starch and degradable fiber content were used in one of three supplementation strategies: 1) no supplement (CON), or supplemented at 0.6 % of BW with 2) low starch/high fibre (LS/HF) pellet (40.3% starch; 29.5% NDF DM basis) pellet, or 3) high starch/low fibre (HS/LF; 48.6% starch; 22.8% NDF DM basis) pellet. In EXP2 a by-product feed pellet was formulated to provide ruminal and post-ruminal energy (30.3 % NDF; 32.0 % starch; 7.2 % fat) supplementation strategies included: 1) daily (DLY) supplementation at 0.6 % of BW, 2) low-alternate (LA) supplementation at 0.9 % of BW, and 3) high-alternate (HA) supplementation at 1.2 % of BW. There was no effect (P > 0.05) of treatment on forage utilization in either experiment. In EXP 1, final BW and ADG were not different (P > 0.05) between LS/HF (435 kg; 1.4 kg d-1) and HS/LF (439 kg; 1.5 kg d-1). However, supplemented cattle had higher (P < 0.05) final BW and ADG than CON cattle (402 kg; 1.0 kg d-1). Supplementation increased production costs by 450 %. In EXP 2, no difference (P > 0.05) was observed for final BW and ADG among DLY (435 kg; 1.1 kg d-1), LA (424 kg; 0.9 kg d-1), and HA (428 kg; 1.0 kg d-1). Production costs were reduced by 23 % with alternate supplementation and LA had 19 % less production costs than HA. In experiment three (EXP 3), four ruminally cannulated beef heifers were individually fed a stockpiled grass hay and offered the same pelleted supplement as in EXP2. Treatments consisted of 4 supplementation strategies: 1) no supplement (CON), 2) daily (DLY) supplementation at 0.6% BW, 3) low-alternate (LA) supplementation at 0.9 % of BW, and 4) high-alternate (HA) supplementation at 1.2 % of BW. Forage intake, rumen fermentation parameters, and apparent total tract digestibility were measured. Three data sets were analyzed: 1) overall (average of all collection days), 2) day of supplementation (DS) and 3) non-supplementation day (NSD) for alternating treatments. Overall, hay DMI (kg d-1) was lower (P = 0.04) for DLY (7.1) vs. CON (8.1), but no different (P ≥ 0.11) for DLY vs. LA (6.9), or vs. HA (6.4). On DS, hay DMI (kg d-1) of DLY (7.3) differed (P < 0.05) vs. HA (6.0), but was not different (P = 0.16) vs. LA (6.4). On NSD, hay DMI (kg d-1) of DLY (7.0) was not different (P ≥ 0.48) to those of LA (7.3) and HA (6.9). Overall, total VFA concentration (mM) was lower (P < 0.01) for CON (69.2) vs. DLY (77.1); but not different (P ≥ 0.45) for DLY vs. LA (75.8) or HA (75.1). Rumen NH3 (mg/dL) was lower (P < 0.01) for CON (3.4) and higher (P < 0.01) for LA (5.8) vs. DLY (4.6), but not different (P = 0.37) for DLY vs. HA (4.3). Overall, ruminal pH was lower (P ≤ 0.04) for DLY (6.65) vs. CON (6.75) and HA (6.72), but similar (P = 0.18) for DLY vs. LA (6.70). On DS, ruminal pH was lower (P = 0.04) for HA (6.59) vs. DLY (6.64), but higher (P < 0.01) on NSD for HA (6.85) vs. DLY (6.67). Apparent DM, OM and GE digestibility coefficients were lower (P ≤ 0.03) for CON and LA vs. DLY, but no difference (P ≥ 0.36) for DLY vs. HA. These results indicate that beef steers grazing stockpiled crested wheatgrass were limited in energy intake and that supplementation of metabolizable energy improved animal performance regardless of the source of energy. Reducing the frequency of energy supplementation and level offered on alternate days do not affect animal performance and reduces the production costs of the system. Negative effects of alternate day supplementation on forage intake and rumen fermentation are reduced when a lower level is offered relative to simply doubling the daily amount of supplement.
