1. Dairy To Be Great : Enhancing Dairy Farming Practices and Designing an Information Dashboard for Animal Health and Reproduction Data
Kandidat-uppsats, Linköpings universitet/Institutionen för datavetenskapSammanfattning : This thesis presents a comprehensive research study aimed at designing an information dashboard to address the specific information needs of dairy farmers in relation to animal health and reproduction data. The research focused on answering two key research questions: (1) How can we determine which factors are most relevant in terms of farms productivity and wellbeing of its animals? and (2) How can we visualize the data and farms history in a meaningful way so that the owner can make sense of it and therefore make better decisions for future planning?To answer these questions, extensive user research was conducted within the dairy farming community, involving interviews, literature review and surveys.

2. Phenotypic differences between plus-tree progenies of Sitka spruce (Picea sitchensis) and a comparison with Norway spruce (Picea abies)
Master-uppsats, SLU/Southern Swedish Forest Research CentreSammanfattning : Forest productivity and economic gains are two of the most important aspects to consider when managing forests these days. The performance of these depends on rotation periods and yields providing new opportunities to maximize earnings from the forest site and plant material. LÄS MER
3. The effect of temperature on productivity of birds in Sweden and Finland
Kandidat-uppsats, Linköpings universitet/BiologiSammanfattning : Anthropogenic climate change is one of the most important factors influencing population growth and survival. Therefore, to be able to predict the effect of climate change on ecosystem composition and function, it is important to understand its effect on demographic variables, such as productivity. LÄS MER
4. Clearcutting and the breeding productivity of golden eagles (Aquila chrysaetos) in Västerbotten County
Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Wildlife, Fish and Environmental StudiesSammanfattning : The golden eagle (Aquila chrysaetos) is red-listed as near threatened in Sweden, but there are many basic ecological and demographical parameters important for successful management and conservation that are unknown for the Swedish golden eagle population. Forestry, and especially clearcutting (or final cutting/felling or regeneration cutting/felling), the most common harvesting system in Sweden since the 1950’s, are likely important factors affecting the Swedish golden eagle population, but exactly how is largely unknown.

5. Future yield performance of ZS265 and ZS263 maize varieties and information dissemination for adaptation to climate change : a case of the Zimbabwean maize cropping system
Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of People and SocietySammanfattning : In an effort to design a sustainable maize cropping system in Zimbabwe, attain food security and build resilience against climate change, achievements in crop breeding are evident by the introduction of Drought Tolerant (DT) maize varieties. The study aims to analyze the impact of climate change on DT maize varieties that are characterized to be drought tolerant and yield productive under future climate conditions. LÄS MER
