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..

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.

Bakgrund: Kompetensf?rs?rjningen ?r en stor utmaning f?r den svenska sjukv?rden, i samtliga av landets regioner saknas specialistsjuksk?terskor och det ?r brist p? erfaren personal. Kompetensbristen kan utg?ra ett hot mot patients?kerheten. Trots att satsningar g?rs f?r att fler sjuksk?terskor ska specialistutbilda sig ?r det inte tillr?ckligt m?nga som g?r det. Syfte: Att unders?ka grundutbildade sjuksk?terskors inst?llning till att specialistutbilda sig inom kirurgisk v?rd. Metod: En fokusgruppsstudie med 16 grundutbildade sjuksk?terskor fr?n kirurgiska avdelningar p? ett universitetssjukhus i Sverige.

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.

Bakgrund: Idrottsskador ?r vanliga i lagidrotter som handboll och innebandy. Trots att skadepreventionstr?ning ?r effektiv ?r f?ljsamheten ofta l?g. Spelbaserad tr?ning har visat positiva effekter p? motivation och engagemang i andra sammanhang, men hur idrottare uppfattar spelbaserad skadeprevention ?r inte unders?kt.

Mental trötthet (eng. fatigue) efter en lindrig traumatisk hjärnskada (mTBI) innebär stora handikapp i vardagen för drabbade individer. En koppling mellan den subjektiva upplevelsen av mental trötthet och relaterade kognitiva områden har dock visat sig svårt att finna. Syftet var att undersöka om det förelåg en prestationsnedsättning i IVA+plus (ett test för kontinuerlig prestation som mäter bibehållen uppmärksamhet och inhiberingsförmåga) och högt självskattad trötthet hos en patientgrupp diagnosticerad med mTBI. Vidare var syftet att undersöka huruvida det fanns ett samband mellan dessa mått.

Alien plants that have intentionally been introduced to an area for cultivation in public or private gardens constitute the primary pathway of introduction for invasive alien species that spread into nature. Garden owners want species that have satisfying characteristics, these characteristics are often also linked to plant invasiveness. Thus, the horticulture industry plays an important role by making scientifically based decisions and phasing out invasive plants and replacing them with alternative species with satisfying characteristics, but low risks of becoming invasive. This thesis aimed to examine the sale of and the attitudes towards alien plants in the horticulture industry in Sweden. Alien terrestrial plants identified to have a severe risk, high risk or potentially high risk of spreading and becoming invasive according to ArtDatabankens assessment, were examined to see if they were for sale.

The aim with this project was to describe how nursing staff working in the home care environment perceive their level of knowledge regarding mental ill health and if this level of knowledge is sufficient / insufficient in their dealings with mentally ill patients. The study is empirical and a qualitative method has been used. Questionaires have been used and interviews have been carried out with nurses working in the home care system and data has also been collected from previous research in this area. Result The result show that home care nurses consider that they have inadequate knowledge of treating patients with mental ill health and they seek more training, guidance and collaboration with psychiatric nurses. Conclusion Increased knowledge of mental health care and continuous guidance would make home care nurses more confident in their dealings with patients suffering from mental ill health.

Background:Mental illness has increased in Sweden and the individuals seeking care expect to be met with respect. The way patients perceive themselves to be treated by health care professionals plays a central part to care and treatment of patients, and the patients experience will decide how future care will proceed. The majority of complaints from patients with mental illness suggest that the way they are treated in health care is inadequate. For people with mental illness it is crucial how they perceive themselves to be treated since poor treatment can lead to reluctance in seeking future help. Aim: The purpose of this study was to describe how people with mental illness perceive themselves to be treated in primary health care.
