The only available broiler strain to use in organic chicken meat production, until recently, has been conventional fast growing broiler hybrids. The Rowan Ranger is a broiler strain that has a naturally slower growth rate which makes this strain suitable for organic farming, meeting the demands of KRAV without being subjected to a feed restriction. One of the farms in Sweden using Rowan Ranger in their organic production is Bosarp farm in Skåne County where they produce KRAV certified chickens and where the animals used in this study were raised. This study compared differences between a naturally slow growing strain of chicken to a fast growing strain to see whether there were differences in behaviour between the two, if one of the strains was more susceptive to stress than the other and whether they differed in outdoor use and activity level. Regardless of strain, chickens used the outdoor perimeter the same, although the Rowan Rangers did not range as far from the chicken house as Ross 308. Even so, they seem to be more suitable in an organic setting than Ross 308 due to the fact that they seem less hungry and more content, this based on the fact that they perform less feeding behaviour and spend more time laying down. Also, they grow nicely to slaughter weight with a good diet quality whereas Ross 308 need to be qualitative feed restricted to do the same, giving the Rowan Rangers better welfare.

Many of the colour images captured by different types of digital camera do not provide quality colour image according to human visual perception. In this study we explore technique for colour correction of the colour images from the Waikato Image Ranger. Colour images were captured using three different illuminants with the Waikato Image Ranger. The colour image formed from the ranger data do not have good quality because illuminants used do not match usual RGB standard illuminants. The spectral power distribution values of the illuminants were measured using spectroradiometer. To calculate tristimulus values the reflectance function of the scene is required. A mechanism of calculating the reflectance functions from the ranger data using genetic algorithm was explained. The reflectance functions are approximated using variable Gaussian basis functions, and fit to the ranger colour triplets by genetic algorithms. From the estimated reflectance functions standard CRT RGB values were calculated. It was found that the genetic algorithm approach was for too slow for practical purposes and produced images with far too much colour variation.

Introduktion: Att påverka de sensoriska egenskaperna hos kyckling genom att anpassa fodret kycklingarna får vid uppfödningen, är ett intressant koncept som kan leda till många möjligheter. På Bosarps gård utanför Blentarp i Skåne har man arbetat med ett sådant koncept genom att tillföra morötter och grönkål som ett komplement till basfodret.Syfte: Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka om morot och grönkål, som ett komplement till basfodret, påverkar kycklingköttets sensoriska egenskaper.Material och metod: För att ta reda på detta har två olika sensoriska skillnadstester använts, först ett duo-triotest och sedan ett partest.Resultat: Det fanns inga skillnader beträffande egenskaperna utseende och smak mellan kött från kycklingar som fötts upp med eller utan tillsats av morötter och grönkål i fodret, dock fanns det en signifikant skillnad avseende texturen. Morotskyckligen hade en fastare fibertextur.Slutsats: Det fanns en skillnad i texturen, som antingen kan förklaras av/bero på fodret, tillagningen, åldern på kycklingarna eller hanteringen av kycklingköttet efter slakt. / Introduction: Being able to influence the sensory properties of chicken by affecting the feed during breeding, is an interesting concept that can lead to many possibilities. At Bosarp's farm just outside of Blentarp in Skåne they have tried to execute this concept by adding carrots and kale as a complement to the chicken’s basic diet.Aim: The aim of this study is to investigate whether carrot and kale, as a complement to the basal diet, affect the sensory characteristics of the chicken meat.Material and method: To achieve the aim of this study two different sensory differences tests have been applied, first a duo trio test and then a two paired sample test.Results: There were no differences regarding the appearance and taste characteristics between the samples of meat from chickens bred with or without the addition of carrots and kale in the feed, but there was a significant difference regarding the texture.Conclusion: There was a difference in texture, which was either due to the feeding, the cooking, the age of the chicken or handling of the chicken meat after slaughter.

No. of bitstreams: 0 Previous issue date: 2007 / Contexto: Bruxismo do sono é uma atividade do sistema estomatognático caracterizada pelo ranger ou apertamento dos dentes durante o sono. Vários tratamentos para o bruxismo do sono têm sido propostos, entre eles o farmacológico, o psicológico e odontológico. Objetivo: Avaliar a efetividade das placas oclusais para o tratamento do bruxismo do sono comparada às intervenções alternativas ou ao não tratamento. Estratégia de pesquisa: Nós procuramos ensaios clínicos controlados randomizados (ECCRs) ou quasi-randomizados sobre tratamento de bruxismo nas seguintes bases de dados: COCHRANE-CENTRAL (vol.2, 2006), MEDLINE (1966 a 2006), EMBASE (1980 a 2006), LILACS (1982 a 2006), SciELO (1997-2006) BBO - Bibliografia Brasileira de Odontologia (1966 a 2006); resumos publicados nos congressos de medicina e odontologia do sono foram identificados manualmente; listas de referências foram checadas com os artigos originais, resumos, revisões, revisões sistemáticas para o tratamento do bruxismo do sono. Não houve restrições de idioma. Critérios de Seleção: Nós selecionamos todos os ECCRs ou quasirandomizados nos participantes com bruxismo do sono em que a terapia com a placa oclusal foi comparada ao não-tratamento ou a qualquer outra intervenção. Coleta de dados e análise: A extração de dados foi conduzida independentemente e em duplicata. Avaliação da validade dos estudos incluídos foi conduzida ao mesmo tempo em que a extração de dados. Discrepâncias foram discutidas e um terceiro revisor consultado. Os autores dos estudos incluídos foram consultados quando necessário. Principais resultados: Potencialmente 30 ECCRs foram identificados, mas apenas cinco foram incluídos. A placa oclusal foi comparada com placa palatal, aparelho de arco duplo (AAD), TENS (Transcutaneous Electrical Nervous Stimulation) e não-tratamento. Houve apenas um desfecho em comum (microdespertar/h) que permitiu a realização da metanálise. Na metanálise não foram encontradas diferenças estatisticamente significantes entre os grupos placas oclusal e palatal. Conclusões dos revisores: Não há evidência suficiente na literatura para se afirmar que as placas oclusais são efetivas para o tratamento do bruxismo do sono. Indicações do seu uso são questionáveis em relação aos desfechos do sono, mas pode ser que haja alguns benefícios com relação ao desgaste dentário. Esta revisão sistemática sugere maior preocupação na realização de futuros ECCRs: método de alocação, avaliação dos desfechos, tamanho da amostra e suficiente tempo de acompanhamento. Os desenhos dos estudos devem ser paralelos a fim de eliminar vieses decorrentes de estudos do tipo cross-over. Há necessidade de padronização dos desfechos para o tratamento do bruxismo do sono nos ECCRs. / Background: Sleep bruxism is an activity of the stomatognathic system characterized by teeth grinding or clenching during sleep. Several treatments for sleep bruxism have been proposed such as pharmacological, psychological, and dental. Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of occlusal splints for treatment of sleep bruxism as compared to alternative interventions or no treatment. Search strategy: We searched randomised or quasi-randomised controlled trials (RCTs) for the treatment of bruxism from the following data bases: COCHRANE-CENTRAL (vol.2, 2006), MEDLINE (1966 to 2006); EMBASE (1980 to 2006); LILACS (1982 to 2006); (Bibliografia Brasileira de Odontologia) (BBO) (1966 to 2006), SciELO (1997 to 2006); abstracts published in sleep odontology and medicine congress were hand- searched. Additional reports were identified from the reference lists of retrieved reports and from articles, abstracts, reviews, systematic reviews about treating sleep bruxism. There were no language restrictions. Selection criteria: We selected or quasi-randomised or RCTs, from participants with sleep bruxism, in which splint therapy was compared concurrently to no treatment or any other intervention. Data collection and analysis: Data extraction was carried out independently and in duplicate. Validity assessment of the included trials was carried out at the same time as data extraction. Discrepancies were discussed and a third reviewer consulted. The author of the primary study was contacted when necessary. Main results: Thirty potentially relevant RCTs were identified. Twenty-three trials were excluded leaving five RCTs for analysis. Splint occlusal was compared to:palatal splint, double arch device, TENS, and no treatment. There was just one common outcome (arousal index) which was combined in a meta-analysis. No significant differences between occlusal splint and control group were found in the meta-analyses. Reviewers' conclusions: There is not sufficient evidence to state that the occlusal splint is effective for treating sleep bruxism. Indication of its use is questionable with regard to the sleep outcomes, but it may be that there is some benefit with regard to tooth wear. This systematic review suggests the need for further investigation in more controlled RCTs that pay attention to method of allocation, outcome assessment, large sample size, and enough duration of follow-up. The study design must be parallel, in order to eliminate the bias provided by studies of cross-over type. A standardisation of the outcomes of the treatment of sleep bruxism should be established in the RCTs. / BV UNIFESP: Teses e dissertações

My thesis is a human intervention into the tranquil and natural environment of Pandapas Pond and the Jefferson National Forest. Although the form of the intervention embraces the landscape and natural land formations, its purpose is to take the visitor along a path that translates the experience from one of participation to that of observation of the parkâ s surroundings. This is both an investigation of an architectural integration with the site and a partial separation of the inhabiter from his/her natural surroundings. / Master of Architecture
