    Author : Ance Olina; Nevila Zaimi; [2018]
    Keywords : Vertical Sky Component; Daylight Factor; building typology; Radiance simulations; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : In 2017, 255 of Sweden's 290 municipalities reported a shortage of residential housing (Boverket, 2017). The answer is to build more. Due to urbanization pressure, concerns for saving valuable agricultural land, growing national and EU demands on energy-efficiency, there is an increasing number of new and dense urban developments.

  4. 18. Quantification of short chain fatty acids in serum and plasma

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Food Science

    Author : Jonna Skoglund; [2016]
    Keywords : short chain fatty acids; type 2 diabetes; GC-MS; dietary fibre; serum; plasma;

    Abstract : Type 2 diabetes (T2D) has become a major problem around the world. Current research has linked a high dietary fibre (DF)- intake with a number of health benefits and possible prevention of T2D. One proposed mechanism is via short chain fatty acids (SCFA), which are produced from fermentation of DF in the colon by the microflora. READ MORE

  5. 19. Lepidium cake as a feed stuff to pigs

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

    Author : Hagos Arefaine; [2016]
    Keywords : Lepidium cake; digestibility; growing pigs; feeding behaviour; glucosinolate; non-starch polysaccharides; blood profiles; sinalbin;

    Abstract : The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of different levels of lepidium cake (LC) on palatability, coefficient of total tract digestibility (CTTAD), blood parameters and feeding behaviour in growing pigs. A total of 8 female growing pigs ((Land race x Yorkshire) × Hampshire) with an average initial body weight of 26.5±2. READ MORE

  6. 20. Analysis of short chain fatty acids in faecal samples : development and validation of a new method

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Food Science

    Author : Nils Ewald; [2016]
    Keywords : short chain fatty acids; SCFA; faeces; dietary fibre; quantification; gas chromatography; flame ionization detector; GC-FID;

    Abstract : Short chain fatty acids (SCFA) are produced by the gut microflora following the intake of complex carbohydrates and have been suggested as a contributor for some of the health benefits associated with dietary fibre (DF) intake. For further research of the mechanisms and effects of SCFA, reliable and accurate methods for analysis of SCFA in different biological samples are needed. READ MORE
