The Cerulean Warbler (Dendroica cerulea) is state-listed as threatened or as a species of special concern throughout most of its range, suffering from extensive loss of breeding habitat. Although the Cerulean Warbler has been classified as a species of high conservation concern, little is known about its life history. Conservation and management efforts directed toward protecting forested landscapes on the breeding and non-breeding grounds, with the specific habitat requirements that this species prefers, are paramount. Yet, there is little specific quantitative data in existence regarding the pertinent vegetation structure in which the Cerulean Warbler can successfully breed. During the two field seasons of this project (2000 and 2001), sixty-two territories were located, monitored, and mapped during the nesting season. To determine the habitat selection of Cerulean Warblers, twenty-seven habitat variables were measured within the center of mapped territories and random sites (0.04 ha circle). The size of territories (n = 59) ranged from 0.036 ha to 1.427 ha. The number of large trees (> 38 cm DBH) was significantly higher in territories, as was the total density of all trees than in random sites. Vertical stratification between 0 - < 2 m was also significantly higher in territories than in random sites. Territories were located significantly closer to water bodies, roads, and agricultural fields. The relative abundance of Cerulean Warblers differed greatly among study sites (O/km2-3.86/k m2). In all study sites containing at least two birds throughout the breeding season, territories exhibited a significantly clumped distribution. As expected, canopy gaps were present in all territories, and perch trees were significantly larger than average trees available to males within territories. This species was located almost exclusively along ridgetops and mesic slopes. The greatest number of birds occurred in study sites that were located within state forests that are currently being managed for timber harvest versus national forest. / School of Physical Education

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is becoming a more common diagnosis of younger children. In recent years the perception that some ingredients in our food may have a negative effect regarding the symptoms in children with ADHD has grown stronger. Children with ADHD often suffer from irritated bowel syndromes which affect their ability to digest food. This may result in malnutrition as well as a release of substances that are harmful.The purpose of this report is to compile and illustrate the knowledge of how special food, particular milk protein and gluten, may affect the symptoms of children with ADHD. Also, the report aims to evaluate if there should be changes made in Kindergarten to increase the well-being of these children. The report is a summary of research results on the effects milk protein and gluten have on children with ADHD.The majority of children with ADHD demonstrate decreased symptoms if they receive a diet without milk protein and gluten.If children with ADHD would be given a special diet excluding milk protein and gluten it is realistic to assume that their ADHD-symptoms might be reduced with a greater sense of well-being and quality of life as a result. / Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) är en allt mer vanligt förekommande diagnos hos förskolebarn. Uppfattningen om att en anpassad kosthållning kan lindra symtomen hos barn med ADHD har växt sig starkare de senaste åren. Barn med ADHD lider ofta av en irriterad tarm som har en störd matspjälkningsfunktion, vilket kan leda till att näringsämnen bryts ner ofullständigt och resulterar i näringsbrister och frisättning av ämnen som kan påverka oss negativt.Syftet med rapporten är att sammanställa och belysa kunskapen om hur kosten kan påverka symtomen hos barn med ADHD, med särskild inriktning på påverkan från mjölkprotein och gluten. Samt att belysa vilken nytta skolverksamheten kan ha av dagens forskning inom ämnet.Rapporten är en sammanställning av de forskningsresultat som finns inom ämnet ADHD-anpassad kost där mjölkprotein och gluten utesluts.Majoriteten av barn med ADHD påvisar en minskade symtom om de får en anpassad kost utan mjölkprotein och gluten.Om förskolan skulle erbjuda barn med ADHD en anpassad kost är det realistiskt att anta att deras ADHD-symtom skulle kunna minska med ett ökat välbefinnande som följd.

Dietary patterns has varied throughout history, both due to resource and cultural limitations. In this thesis, a study was conducted to establish the dietary patterns of eight individuals from an early Midieaval gravesite in Rambodal, Östergötland, in order to explain why they were buried there. This was done through stable isotope analysis on collagen extracted from bone and tooth on the buried individuals. The analysis showed that these indviduals had a diet that was mainly based on freshwater fish. This suggests that these people may have been christians, due to the fact that fish was not regarded as meat and therefore you did not have to abstain from it during periods of fasting. Fish also has a strong idealistic position in Christianity. However, the positions of the buried individulas does not correspond with catholic burial traditions. One explanation for this could be that these individuals were orthodox Christians, possibly from Finland or Russia.

Foramutilizadas 12 ninhadas de ratos da linhagem Wistar (Rattus novergicus). Os animais foram alojados em gaiolas individuais, sob condi??es padr?es (umidade natural; temperatura de 23 ?C ? 2; e ciclo claro/escuro de 12 horas). Os ratos machos de cada ninhada formaram, da lacta??o at? a fase adulta, osgrupos: Controle (C) ?receberamra??o padr?o e?guaadlibitum(n = 24);Cafeteria (CAF)?receberam dieta de cafeteria e ?gua ad libitum (n = 24); Restri??o (R) ?receberam 50%dara??oconsumidapelo grupoControle e ?guaadlibitum (n = 24). Entre o 113? e o 117? dia de vida, os animais foram subdividos (n = 12) para receberemo tratamento com salina (C, CAF e R) ou efedrina (C-E, CAF-E e R-E) e realizarem os testes comportamentais. No 118? foram anestesiados e eutanasiados por exsanguina??o. Foram avaliados: o peso corporal, ganho de peso, consumo de ra??o, ingest?o cal?rica, coeficiente de efici?ncia alimentar, comprimento naso-anal e ?ndice de massa corporal; peso dos ?rg?os e tecido adiposo abdominal; comprimento do f?mur e t?bia, e teor de minerais totais; teores de colesterol total e fra??es, triacilglicerol e glicemia do soro; teor de lip?dios, colesterol total e triacilglicerol do f?gado; e os efeitos no comportamento pelos testes Labirinto em Cruz Elevado (LCE) eCampo Aberto. O grupo CAF demonstrou maior ingest?o cal?rica, configurando em maior CEA e ac?mulo de tecido adiposo abdominal, al?m de uma tend?ncia em aumento do peso e do IMC. Ademais, CAF obteve eleva??o dos n?veis de triacilglicerol plasm?tico e hep?tico, que possivelmente foram fatores respons?veis pelo aumento do tecido adiposo. Ao mesmo tempo, houve uma rela??o ruim entre as fra??es do colesterol plasm?tico (HDL-c, LDL-c e VLDL-c), com desenvolvimento de dislipidemia. Portanto, a dieta de cafeteria foi capaz de reproduzir um modelo de obesidade humana e de s?ndrome metab?lica em CAF. Os animais de dieta de restri??o obtiveram menor peso corporal e dos ?rg?os, apresentando ainda retardo no crescimento (menor CNA, da t?bia e do f?mur), e menores valores de IMC. O quadro nutricional desse grupo de animais indica que foi poss?vel desenvolver um modelo de desnutri??o. O grupo CAF obteve maior n?mero de entradas nos bra?os fechados do LCE e uma tend?ncia em atravessar maior n?mero de quadrantes no in?cio do teste de Campo Aberto, sugerindoaumento da locomo??o. A efedrina proporcionou: maior n?mero de entradas nos bra?os fechados; de entradas e tempo de perman?ncia nos bra?os abertos do LCE; maior n?mero de entradas, tempo de perman?ncia no centro do e n?mero de quadrantes atravessados no campo aberto; para ambos os tratamentos (CAF-E e R-E), sugerindo um efeito ansiol?tico e de aumento da locomo??o. As altera??es no comportamento frente ? efedrina indicam que os animais CAF e R possuem uma altera??o no sistema dopamin?rgico, que culmina com aumento do efeito ansiol?tico e de locomo??o da droga. / Disserta??o (Mestrado) ? Programa de P?s-gradua??o em Ci?ncias Farmac?uticas, Universidade Federal dos Vales do Jequitinhonha e Mucuri, [2016]. / The objective of this work was to evaluate the effects of ephedrine on the behavior of rats treated with standard (commercial) chow, cafeteria diet or caloric restriction diet since lactation. Twelve litters of Wistar rats (Rattus novergicus) were used. The animals were housed in individual cages under standard conditions (natural humidity, temperature of 23 ? C ? 2 and light / dark cycle of 12 hours). The male rats of each litter formed, from lactation to adulthood, the following groups: Control (C) - received standard chow and water ad libitum (n = 24); Cafeteria (CAF) - received cafeteria diet and water ad libitum (n = 24); Restriction (R) - received 50% of the chow consumed by the Control group and water ad libitum (n = 24). Between the 113th and 117th days of life, the animals were subdivided (n = 12) to receive treatment with saline (C, CAF and R) or ephedrine (C-E, CAF-E and R-E) and perform behavioral tests. At 118th, they were anesthetized and euthanized by exsanguination. Body weight, weight gain, feed intake, caloric intake, food efficiency coefficient, naso-anal length and body mass index; weight of organs and abdominal adipose tissue; Length of femur and tibia, and total mineral content; levels of total cholesterol and fractions, triacylglycerol and serum glycemia; lipid content, total cholesterol and triacylglycerol of the liver; and effects on behavior through the Elevated Plus Maze (EPM) and Open Field tests were evaluated. The CAF group demonstrated a higher caloric intake, resulting in an increased CEA and abdominal adipose tissue accumulation, in addition to an increasing tendency of weight and BMI. In addition, CAF obtained an elevation in plasma and hepatic triacylglycerol levels, which were possibly responsible for the increase in adipose tissue. At the same time, there was a great relationship between fractions of plasma cholesterol (HDL-c, LDL-c and VLDL-c), with development of dyslipidemia. Therefore, the cafeteria diet was able to reproduce a model of human obesity and metabolic syndrome in CAF. Restriction diet animals had lower body and organ weight, with slower growth (lower CNA, tibia and femur), and lower BMI values. The nutritional picture of this group of animals indicates that it was possible to develop a model of malnutrition. The CAF group had a higher number of entries in the closed arms of the EPM and a tendency to cross more quadrants at the beginning of the Open Field test, suggesting an increase in locomotion. Ephedrine provided: high number of entries in the closed arms; entries and length of stay in the open arms of the EPM; high number of entries, length of stay in the center and number of quadrants crossed in the open field; for both treatments (CAF-E and R-E), suggesting an anxiolytic effect and increased locomotion. Changes in the behavior against ephedrine indicate that the CAF and R animals have a change in the dopaminergic system, which culminates with aniological increase and locomotion of the drug.

The diploma thesis deals with the diet during the diabetes mellitus type 2 disease and with possibilities of enriching the diabetic?s diet. The theoretical part of the thesis is focused on the description of this disease and the topic of the diet therapy ? what diets can be followed by diabetes patients and whether the diet is appropriate. The practical part of the thesis is dealing with the enrichment of the diabetic diets. Results of the questionnaire shown which meals are missed by the diabetics and for some of them were designed the recipes. According to the recipes were cooked diabetic dishes which were after that given to tasting and rating. Based on the statistic test and results of the rating dishes were evaluated to decide which are preferred to put in diabetic diet and which are not. I also prepared one exemplary menu including mentioned dishes.
