Att köpa ekologiskt är ingen ny företeelse, men i takt med att både e-handel och efterfrågan på ekologiska varor konstant ökar så behövs det stöd för designers för att kunna möta dessa utmaningar. För att kunna designa e-handelswebbsidor med ekologiska valmöjligheter krävs förståelse för användaren och dess behov. Genomatt kartlägga målinriktade beteenden går det att påvisa när en användare är mottaglig för ett ekologiskt val på en e-handelswebbsida. En mental modell byggs utifrån användares målinriktade beteende och denna kan användas som stöd av designers för att förstå när en användare är mer mottaglig för ekologiska val på en e-handelswebbsida. Denna studie resulterar i en identifiering och kartläggning över när en användare är mer öppen för ekologiska val..

We were interested in when and why social workers choose to use mindfulness with their clients. Our prior research has revolved around development and use of methods in social work, and on the human reaction to stress.We conducted seven semi-structured interviews, which incorporated four comprehensive questions:1. Why has the mindfulness method become established in the social work field and in the culture in general?2.

Subsurface Scattering är nu för tiden väldigt populärt inom datorgrafik och används inom de flesta filmer och spel, men det är ingen enkel process för att uppnå ett bra resultat. Därmed kommer forskningen och utvecklingen fokuseras på subsurface scattering i verkligheten och inom Autodesk Maya med inbyggda renderingsmotorn mental ray. Subsurface scattering via mental ray kan lösas på flera olika sätt och nödvändig information om subsurface scattering shaders och andra noder kommer att förklaras för de metoder som känns till som lightmaps och photon maps. Det kommer även finnas en tredje metod som fokuserar på passrendering av en lightmap shader. Metoderna bevisar sedan vilken metod som anses vara den bästa för situationen man befinner sig i..

The aim of the thesis was to identify whether, and if so how, aspects of sexual health (reproductive health and cohabitation) are compiled in the National Quality Register and identify reasons for this. A quantitative method has been applied to go through the registers annual reports.

Mitt arbeta handlar om mental träning för elever som känner sig stressade inför prov. Då mina erfarenheter var begränsade inom området, valde jag att anpassa ett redan utformat material inom idrotten, Integrerad mental träning (IMT, 1996), skriven av Lars-Eric Unesthål. Här ändrade jag endast på vissa formuleringar för att materialet skulle passa in på skolan. Arbetet består av en teoretisk del utifrån idrotten och en teoretisk del där jag visar på vad mental träning kan åstadkomma i skolan. Till sist finns en praktisk del, med ett utarbetat åtgärdsprogram för arbete med mental träning i skolan.

Abstract Integrated mental training is a method that entails a systematic and long-term training of mental processes (thoughts, images, emotions) that aims to enhance performance as well as gratify feelings and improve thought processes. This training develops an alternative system of control by using substitute state of consciousness and self-hypnosis. The method is concerned with both mindfulness and performance approaches, which is crucial in order to feel and function better. The intent of this study is to highlight the experience of the different steps of integrated mental training to gain an understanding of how, where, and when changes occur. To achieve the objective of this study, a qualitative empirical method was used.
