Icelandic horses are increasingly popular in Sweden and Norway. Their strength lies in their unique gaits, however, in lame horses this trait becomes a weakness. Evaluating not only lameness but also the leg of origin for lameness in any gait other than trot is exceptionally challenging. Today, we lack the most basic knowledge of how Icelandic horses move in the different gaits and how these gaits change in the event of lameness. Biomechanical research on lameness has excelled due to the use of automatic computerized sensor analysis. However, such analysis is currently limited to use during trot.The aim of this project is to study how Icelandic horses move in the different gaits; develop new algorithms for automatic classification and coding of these gaits; as well as identify sensitive symmetry variables to detect not only lameness but also origin of lameness in the different gaits. These findings can also be used to quantify gait traits for genetic studies as well as a breeding tool.
Islandshästar blir allt mer populära i Skandinavien. Deras unika gångarter gör dem mycket framgångsrika men gångarterna är också en svaghet, om de blir halta. Att utvärdera hälta och var hältan kommer ifrån är mycket svårt i andra gångarter än trav. Idag saknar vi den mest grundläggande kunskapen om hur islandshästar rör sig i de olika gångarterna och hur de förändrar sitt rörelsemönster när de blir halta. Den biomekaniska forskningen har kommit långt med att mäta hälta och automatisera dataanalysen för kliniskt bruk men dessa analyser förutsätter dock att hästen travar. Syftet med det här projektet är att studera hur islandshästar rör sig i de olika gångarterna, utveckla nya algoritmer för automatisk klassificering av gångarter samt identifiera känsliga symmetrivariabler för att detektera om hästen är halt samt var hältan kommer ifrån i de olika gångarterna. Kunskapen kan även användas för att kvantifiera gångartsegenskaper i genetiska studier samt i avelsarbetet.

The goal is models for translating satellite data from the time of supplementary fertilisation directly to nitrogen (N) recommendation maps. The crops are winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and malting barley (Hordeum vulgare L.). A new multispectral camera for drones, with nine bands of the same …

Humus is an important indicator of soil quality and soil organic carbon (SOC) sequestration is a cost-effective measure to reduce the climatic impact of food production systems. The national soil-monitoring program (SMP) show an upward trend in SOC during the past 20 years, mostly attributed to an …

Conventional technology is virtually unable to measure complete GHG budgets of drained organic soils, which may provide misleading results. So, global estimates of GHG emissions are based on coarse assumptions that don’t take into account the complexity of agroecosystems. Better data are needed for …
