To investigate this, a basic sow feed mix was prepared and divided in 60 jars with 250 g in each. In 30 of the jars 0 to 15 g fish oil were added and in the other 30 jars 0 to 21 g AkoFeed were added. 2/

Individer med ett kriminellt förflutet har svårare att få ett jobb än individer som inte tidigare blivit dömda. Trots detta är arbetet viktigt för att före detta kriminella ska komma ur de kriminella banorna. Handelsbranschen är en bransch som sällan anställer individer med ett kriminellt förflutet medan byggbranschen oftare gör det. Syftet med den här studien var därför att jämföra ifall det finnIndividuals with a criminal record have more difficulties getting a job than individuals with no previous conviction. For ex-convicts however, work is essential for their chances to get off the criminal path. Ex-offenders have a good chance of getting a job in the building industry, but not so good chances in getting a job in the commerce industry. Therefore the aim of this study is to compare if
