1. 1. Feeding Live or Dried Black Soldier Fly Larvae (Hermetia illucens) to laying hens – Effects on Immune Traits, Egg Quality, Feather Condition, Body and Organ Weights

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Animal Nutrition and Management

   Author : Adnan Aslam; [2023]
   Keywords : Black soldier fly; live larvae; dried larvae; immune response; egg quality; body weight; feather condition scoring;

   Abstract : Due to increasing prices and potential scarcity of soybean meal (SBM), there is growing demand for alternative and sustainable protein sources in poultry production. Black soldier fly larvae (BSFL) have proven to be a suitable alternative based on nutritional value and sustainable production. READ MORE

3. 2. Seasonal changes in clupeids maturation constrains the food quality of chicks of the common guillemot (Uria aalge) : A case study of a potential mismatch, from the perspective of the common guillemot chicks on Stora Karlsö, the Baltic Sea

   University essay from Stockholms universitet/Stockholm Resilience Centre

   Author : Emelie Delphin; [2018]
   Keywords : Common guillemot Uria aalge ; Sprat Sprattus sprattus ; Herring Clupea herengus ; Match-mismatch hypothesis; the Baltic Sea;

   Abstract : Background: Common guillemots are integral elements of the Baltic Sea marine ecosystem. They possess life-history characteristics such as relatively long lifespan, quite low fecundity resulting in only one egg per breeding season – characteristics that make them particularly vulnerable to even small changes in the environment.

   Keywords : GIS; well-being; multi-criteria evaluation; EU-28; physical geography and ecosystem analysis; UTCI; Tourism Climatic Index; Predicted Mean Vote; Analytic Hierarchy Process; Fuzzy membership; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Abstract : Both within the EU and within other regions/countries, there is a need to measure and monitor the well-being/Quality of Life (QoL) of people, in order to identify, anticipate, and address potential social or economic problems, at national and regional levels. This study presents a model to quantitatively estimate the spatial well-being (QoL) distribution across the EU-28 member states down to the municipal level, using tools offered by GIS. READ MORE

5. 4. Quality of Life Impacts from Type 1 Diabetes: Evidence from Two Studies in Northern Sweden

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Nationalekonomiska institutionen

   Author : David Wästlund; [2016]
   Keywords : Health-Related Quality of Life; Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus; EQ-5D; MONICA; Quality of Life Weights; Business and Economics;

   Abstract : Purpose: To estimate the impact upon Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQOL) associated with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM), both with and without associated diabetic complications, for enabling calculation of utility values – Quality of Life Weights (QLW) – for populations with T1DM. Method: Two cohorts from Northern Sweden, one of T1DM patients and one of a general population, were given surveys measuring their health quality, using the EQ-5D tool. READ MORE
