My objective for this project was to create a short but thrilling 2D-animation intended as promotion for an online comic book. The purpose of the project was to learn more about animation and graphics, to further my artistic skills and to learn how to work in Adobe After Effects. I also wanted to learn more about scheduling, project methods and how to handle stress. During the ten weeks of the project I have created the story, the storyboard, the character design, the backgrounds and the animation. The voice over was recorded with the help of a fellow student who also made the music and the sound effects.

Different field tests are currently used in a wide extent in different levels of soccer teams. To be able to assess the players? physiological status the tests must have high validity, reliability and external validity. Many different tests have been developt, but currently only five of these tests are most commonly used: Yo-Yo intermittent recovery test (YIRT), Yo-Yo intermittent endurance test (YIET), Multi-sprint-test, Beep-test and Cooper-test. Presently there is no definitive conclusion regarding which of these tests is most suitable for soccer players.

To handle stress the nurses uses different coping strategies.Aim: The aim of the review was to gain a better understanding of how nurses deal with occupational stress.Method: A systematic literature overview study based on eleven articles, including both qualitative and quantitative studies.Results: Nurses deal with stress in different ways based on their own resources.

The purpose with our research in Varbergs Kurort is to study how persons that have been a part of the individual adjusted rehabilitation program First Step have found their stay during their program. The program holds a team of professionals that together work with the individual?s physical and mental health. In our study we have included eight women and to men in the age between 35-65 years who all suffered from a slight mentally illness. Out of a social psychological perspective we have based our study from the social and room environment and how their self-recovery has affected their wellbeing during their rehabilitation.

?Tollarsjuka? is a disease with a suspected immunopathological background seen in Nova Scotia duck tolling retrievers. Pyrexia, lameness, stiffness and joint- or musclepain are typical clinical signs. The purpose of this study is to describe case histories from dogs with a possible evidence of ?tollarsjuka?. 18 private dogs were included in this report. Generalised stiffness, lameness and fatigue were the most frequent manifestations of the disease.

Incident response plans are faced with new challenges as organisations expands to the cloud, this thesis aims to highlight these challenges and their potential solutions. Our work has focused on managing the incident response in contrast to earlier work that has been focusing on preventing them.As with any development, security is seldom prioritized. Instead the focus are often aimed towards usability and functionality, which means incident response plans are written, implemented, forgotten and finally becomes obsolete. This could result in an organization losing their ability to produce acceptable forensic images, avoid severe downtime, or prevent similar incidents in the future, which are all important parts of incident response.Traditional incident response plans does not address incidents in the cloud. Thus, an absence of guidelines for managing incidents in the cloud becomes apparent.

Bakgrund: Postoperativ återhämtning har stor betydelse för en individs upplevelse av ett kirurgiskt ingrepp. Begreppet återhämtning är ett komplext begrepp och innebörden skiljer sig mellan patienterna och även mellan vårdpersonal. Vid bedömning av postoperativ återhämtning är det viktigt att bedömaren använder sig av ett validerat instrument som täcker flera aspekter av återhämtningen.Syfte: Vårt syfte med studien var att i litteraturen identifiera bedömningsinstrument för uppföljning av patientens postoperativa återhämtning.Metod: För att besvara syftet gjordes, i denna pilotstudie, en systematisk litteraturstudie med sökning i databaserna Chinal och PubMed.Resultat: Denna pilotstudie resulterade i att 11 instrument kunde identifieras som på olika sätt bedömer patientens postoperativa återhämtning. Ur dessa bedömningsinstrument kunde 6 huvudkategorier med bedömningsfaktorer urskiljas. Dessa var; smärta, fysiologiska faktorer, fysisk aktivitet, emotionella faktorer, illamående/kräkning samt nutrition/elimination.Konklusion: De flesta instrumenten vänder sig direkt till patienterna.

The purpose of this paper is to find the true meaning to the Swedish word "sinnesträdgård" as a fenonomen. This paper concentrates on the Swedish use of the word, because the term has different definitions in other countries. Our choice was a phenomenological method after reading literature on, and in relevance with, the subject without finding an answer to the question. According to our six informants - a politician, a project manager, two landscape architects and scientists, and two occupational therapists, the concept has not yet been defined. The results show that a "sinnesträdgård" is complex and means several things, but the main purpose of the concept and place is to stimulate all senses. We have discussed how to distinguish the concepts "sinnesträdgård", design garden and health garden, from each other as they all stimulate the senses.

It's an everyday experience shared by many that nature can be of help in relieving pain, reducing stress, support mental recovery etc. In the last three decades or so this experience has also found support in a large number of scientific investigations. Among other things the experience of nature has been shown to reduce stress and pain in patients and to boost concentration and reduce impulsive behavior in children. Most of this research however has mainly been concerned with the visual modality. In this thesis the aim has been to focus on the auditory modality in this context by trying to reveal some effects on people from the exposure of nature sounds played indoors in three different environments: a grammar school class room, a kindergarten play room and a post-surgery wake up room at an intensive care unit.

This thesis for the Master of Science degree was performed at Solectron Corporation in Norrköping. The background for the thesis was a need to develop and build two test fixtures to automatize testing and adjusting of transmitter modules (TX-fixture) and receiver modules (RX-fixture) which are head devices in DWDM-systems. The basic elements for the test fixtures are: Test board, switch board and DC/DC board. The main function of the test board is to handle communication between the transmitter and receiver modules and supply voltage to these modules. The test board was insufficient and modified with a microprocessor to handle the communication between the PC and the receiver module.

Syfte:Syftet med denna uppsats är att utreda hur organisationer kan arbeta för att tillgodose förutsättningar att det gränslösa arbetslivet på ett tillfredsställande sätt ska fungera för att reducera påverkan på anställdas hälsa. Den syftar även till att undersöka hur organisationer kan skapa en hållbar grund för anställda att kunna prestera på arbetet när man jobbar under gränslösa förhållanden                       Metod:                            En tvärsnittsstudie som behandlar fenomenet tillgänglighet och gränslöst arbetsliv med en induktiv ansats. Datainsamlingen har skett kvalitativt genom ostrukturerade intervjuer.                                              Slutsats:                          Studien har visat att de negativa aspekter som kopplas till det gränslösa arbetslivet i hög grad kan hanteras genom organisationella insatser. Organisationer kan medvetandegöra problematiken till sina anställda genom t.ex kurser inom stresshantering eller prioritering.

Utifrån tidigare forskning påvisas att den psykosociala ohälsan inom arbetslivet har ökat. En förklaring till detta kan vara att det mer flexibla arbetslivet gör att arbetstagarens gränser mellan arbete och fritid suddas ut. Arbetsrelaterat överengagemang, work over-commitment (WOC), har vid tidigare studier visats ha en negativ inverkan på den psykosociala arbetsmiljön. Brist på återhämtning är en faktor som oftare nämns i samband med psykosocial ohälsa. Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka samband mellan arbetsrelaterat överengagemang och återhämtning samt om det skiljer sig åt gällande respondenter i privat respektive offentlig verksamhet.

In this study we have examined in which way the horse is used in Equine Assisted Therapy, and what effects the treatment staff experience and describes that the interaction with horses has on girls who self-harms. Our Empirical data was collected through qualitative methods such as interviews, participant observation and informal interviews with a total of six different informants, from five different activities with Equine Assisted Therapy for girls who self-harms. In the analysis we have assumed symbolic interactionism, a theory focusing on the human as a social being, where the self-image alters in the social interaction with other human beings. We interwove this theory with the Biophilia hypothesis, an explanatory model concerning human?s relationship to animals and nature.The conclusions we have found in the results are:Equine Assisted Therapy is a complementary treatment comprises both horseback riding and exercises which is not based on the horsebackEquine Assisted Therapy almost always involves three parts, the therapist, the client and the horse.

The aim of this study was to examine how two integrating social enterprises relate to and combines social, ecological and economic sustainability and how they work with sustainable development in the field of social work. The study has been focusing on three questions: What are the values underpinning ?Macken? and ?Vägen uts? approach to sustainable development? What motivates these companies to work with ecological sustainability in the creation of new jobs? How do these companies combine social, ecological and economic sustainability? To answer our questions we have been interviewing nine employees through semi-structured interviews combined with observations and this study was analysed through a symbolic perspective. The conclusion of this study showed that these companies worked with specific themes to reach social sustainability. Recurring themes in the study was empowerment, recovery and the employee?s own experience of exclusion.

Background: Sleep is the most important human recovery process and research supports assumptions that sleep is an important component in the healing process. Lack of sleep can be the onset of certain diseases such as diabetes, hypertension and cardiovascular disease. Sleep is an integral part of basic nursing. It is important for nurses in hospitals to form a correct understanding of the patients? sleep since they among other things are responsible for administering ad lib hypnotic medication.
