  • Göteborgsregionens Infarter
    Designprogram Göteborgsregionens infarter GÖTEBORGSREGIONENS INFARTER Ett samarbetsprojekt mellan Vägverket och de fem kommunerna Ale, Göteborg, Härryda, Mölndal och Partille. FÖRORD Denna bok ersätter den tidigare upplagan av Göteborgsregionens infarter ”Designprogram”. Boken presenterar resultatet av ett gränsöverskridande sam- arbete där ett stort antal aktörer satt sig tillsammans och tagit ansvaret för att förbättra trafikantens möjligheter till positiva upplevelser i den vägmiljö som går under namnet Göteborgsregionens infarter. Bakgrunden ligger bl a i ett princip- beslut att s.k. fula och störande miljöer ska åtgärdas. Dessa miljöer har inte alltid varit prioriterade i den allmänna vägplaneringen, trots att de har en väldigt stor betydelse för totalupplevelsen för bilföraren och dennes passagerare. Kunskaper om detta har under senare år medfört att man inom vägplaneringen mer och mer månar om att visa upp vackra och för orienterbarheten viktiga och betydelsefulla delar av stadslandskapet. Det har också inneburit att man i många projekt väljer att förbättra utformningen av den vägnära miljön. Ett antal personer har varit delaktiga i detta arbete med att diskutera och planera för mer attraktiva infarter. Denna bok är tänkt att tjäna som en vägledning och inspirationskälla, tillsammans med dess fem detaljstudier: Belysning, Rondeller, Bullerskydd, Portaler och Vägutrustning. De tar fasta på en helhet och ett försök till en arkitektonisk samordning mellan Göteborgsregionens infarter. Håkan Wennerström Vägdirektör Vägverket Region Väst

  • Onset of Luteal Activity in Non-Foaling Mares During the Early Breeding Season in Finland
    Acta vet. scand. 1991,32. 319-325 . Onset of Luteal Activity in Non-Foaling Mares during the Early Breeding Season in Finland By Erkki Koskinen and Terttu Katila Agricultural Research Centre, Equine Research Station, Ypiijii,and College of Veterinary Medicine, Department of Clinical Veterinary Sciences, Hautjiirvi, Finland. Koskinen, E. and T. Katila: Onset of luteal activity in non-foaling mares during the early breeding season in Finland. Acta vet. scand. 1991,32,319-325. - The luteal activity in mares was studied in the Equine Research Station (ERS) and in trotting stables (TS) in South-Finland. The mares were Standardbreeds in the TS and mainly Finnhorses in the ERS. Between January and June blood was collected once a week for serum progesterone determinations. The mares in the ERS were distributed in I of 3 groups: three-years old not yet in training (N = 38), brood mares (N =21) and mares in training (N =47). A 4th group was the mares in training in the trotting stables (N = 73). Every 5th mare in the ERS and every 4th mare in the trotting stables were cycling already at the beginning of the year. Onset of luteal activity in anoestrous mares was most common in the middle of May. Over 95 % of the mares were cycling at the beginning of June. In the ERS 40 % of the Finnhorse mares in training were cycling through the win­ ter. The three-years old and the brood mares were all anoestrous during winter. They started to cycle on average before the middle of May. Anoestrous training mares started before the middle of April.

  • Reproductive Behavior of the Stallion
    Behavior 0749-0739186 $00.00 + .20 Reproductive Behavior of the Stallion Sue McDonnell, Ph.D.* The article begins with a brief description of the reproductive behavior of semi-wild and feral horses, which is intended to provide a background on the reproductive patterns and the specific behavioral elements comprising courtship and mating in the horse. The remain- der of the article focuses on the domestic stallion. Various breeding conditions are described, including normal breeding performance. Fi- nally, considerable attention is devoted to sexual behavior problems. SEMI-WILD AND FERAL ENVIRONMENT Considerable observational information has amassed concerning the behavior of semi-wild and feral horses throughout the world. The following summary of reproductive behavior is based on descriptions of behavior of free-running horses in the Western United States and Canada, in the New Forest of Southern England, in Poland, and on islands off the coast of North America. 1, 5, 8, 10, 13, 21, 24, 25, 29, 30 Each of these populations, although free-running for most or all of the year, is subject to breeding or population management. Reproductive Patterns Free-running horses are polygynous, seasonal breeders with some overlap of the late spring to midsummer foaling and mating seasons. Breeding occurs within a harem group that generally consists of one stallion and several mares with their foals and yearling offspring. The harem group is a relatively stable social unit year-round. Most of the matings observed among the Pryor Mountain, Western Canadian, Pol- ish, and New Forest populations are between April and July. Although most harem mares will be bred by the harem stallion, younger mares may be bred by Syear-old colts that are occasionally tolerated as group members by a harem stallion.
