Bonusregn över svenska storbanker : En studie om belöningssystemens utformande för legitimitet
The current financial crisis has left its mark. It has even hit the major Swedish banks who have shown large losses. The media has not been slow to take note of this, and the constant political debate about the bonus culture has been reinvigorated. Our aim is to find out how the major Swedish banks relate to the publicity and describe how and why senior executives are rewarded, and what strategies banks are using in the design of their reward system to maintain a legitimate behavior, and thus the confidence of its stakeholders.As a starting point to answer our purpose we have used the agency theory that describes our view of how various problems occurs and how incentives can be established in order to get senior executives to act for their owners' interests. Modern theories of reward systems are taken from a variety of authors, these theories give us an insight into how reward systems can be designed in banks.
Överrapportering från ambulanspersonal till sjuksköterska på akutmottagning ? en kvantitativ enkätundersökning
Bakgrund: Överrapportering från ambulanspersonal till mottagande sjuksköterska på akutmottagning är en viktig process som påverkar både den fortsatta vårdkvaliteten och patientsäkerheten. Den ideala överrapporteringen bör vara patientfokuserad med identifierbara problem klart formulerade, dessutom skall överrapporteringen till sitt utförande vara kort och koncis. Dock är överrapportering en process som inte alltid förlöper problemfritt varför behov om att undersöka detta närmare föreligger.Syfte: Syftet med denna studie var att beskriva i vilken utsträckning ambulanspersonal och sjuksköterskor på akutmottagning är tillfredsställda med den överrapportering som sker, samt redogöra för vad respektive personalgrupp anser vara viktig information.Metod: Samtliga anställda inom ambulanssjukvården i Jämtlands läns och samtliga sjuksköterskor på akutmottagningen vid Östersunds sjukhus tillfrågades om deltagande. Totalt kom 116 individer (71,6%) att delta. Datainsamlingen genomfördes med enkät bestående både av slutna frågor och av öppna frågor.Resultat: Resultatet visar på skillnader mellan de båda yrkeskategorierna både vad gäller vilken information man anser viktig och synen på överrapportering i stort.

Vetenskaplig publicering ? om publiceringsstrategier under 1800-talet med fokus på historieämnet
The aim of this master thesis is to show how the dissemination of scientific information took place and developed during the 19th century. The main focus is Lund University. Therefore I have formulated two questions: How did the five heads of the history department at Lund University publish their research findings in the 19th century? What factors in society influenced the scientific spreading of results in the 19th century? To assess the scientific reliability of the sources I have used a method based on source criticism and hermeneutics. The thesis covers important concepts such as the exchange of publications between the universities, commercium litterarium and Akademischer Tauschverein and also the development of Lund University yearbook.

Title: Change Communication within organizations ? How perceptions differ between managers and employees in an organizational changeAuthor: Emma Ender & Fanny TeschTutor: Anne-Marie MorhedPurpose: The purpose of this thesis was to study and compare different perceptions of change communication between managers and employees within two smaller organizations. We wanted to examine how the communication process within the change was carried out. We also aimed to compare the results with change communication models of Johansson & Heide (2008) and Lewin (1951), and also existing concepts, to see if our result differed from earlier research. Our key questions to answer were: How do managers communicate a change to the employees in two smaller companies? How do the managers think that the employees perceive the information about the change? How do the employees perceive the information about the change? How does change models from previous research correspond to, or differ from the change process?Method/Material: The material used in this thesis consists of a total of twelve interviews with both managers and employees at two small companies.Main results: The main results shows that communicating a change is complex, and that it is difficult to create models and theories for the phenomenon, as each change is unique.

Lärdom och fostran : En vägledning till skolarkiven på landsarkivet i Uppsala
The Regional State Archive in Uppsala [Landsarkivet i Uppsala] has several archives left from various types of educational institutions in the counties of Dalarna, Södermanland, Uppsala, Västmanland and Örebro. This archiv-al guide reveals the main content of some of the school archives. It goes through the archives of the elementary school, state secondary grammar schools and private secondary grammar schools. A few special schools for the blind and the deaf children are included. The essay also brings up records from community homes and reformato-ries for children and young adults who experienced certain difficulties and therefore could not adjust to the ordi-nary educational system.
Faktorer som kan ha betydelse för sjuksköterskans triagebedömning : En litteraturstudie
Bakgrund: Flera svenska sjukhus utvecklade under 1990-talet triageskalor för att prioritera och sortera patienter på akutmottagningar. En av anledningarna var att patientantalet ökade och resurser på tillgängliga doktorer var begränsade. Syfte: Att beskriva vilka faktorer som kan ha betydelse för sjuksköterskans triagebedömning på akutmottagningar och att beskriva vilka datainsamlingsmetoder de valda artiklarna har använt sig av.Metod: En litteraturstudie med deskriptiv design som baseras på 12 vetenskapliga artiklar med både kvalitativ och kvantitativ ansats. Sökningarna efter artiklar har skett i databaserna Cinahl, PubMed och Google Scholar.Resultat: Hög arbetsbelastning och brist på personal var faktorer som hade betydelse för sjuksköterskans arbete. En del sjuksköterskor ansåg att hög arbetsbelastning kunde leda till färre korrekta prioriteringar, att det är svårare att prioritera en patient när sjuksköterskan är stressad.

The analysis focused on four themes: 1) framing in the articles, 2) impersonation in the articles, 3) the democratic task of journalism and 4) the expectations of journalism in an election campaign.Main results: The main results showed that the difference between the two parties either was nonexistent or very small. The articles were sometimes framed in specific ways, but a big amount of the articles were not framed. Impersonation occurred in about half of the cases, concerning both parties.
Kommunikation vid triage och på akutmottagning : En litteraturstudie
Bakgrund: Syftet med triage på akutmottagningen är att säkerställa att patienter med störst behov av vård får det inom rimlig tid och på ett korrekt sätt. Triageprocessen inleds med att skapa en första kontakt mellan sjuksköterska och patient där kommunikationen är av stor betydelse. Att kunna delge andra människor information och dessutom kunna tolka och läsa av meddelanden är en del av kommunikationen samt att lyssna och ge svar på andra personers uttryck. Även icke-verbal kommunikation är en stor del av det som kommuniceras. Akutmottagningen är en stressig miljö och det finns mycket att lära angående vad som kan förbättra kommunikationen mellan sjuksköterska och patienter.

Två år av sorg Anhörigas livsberättelser om sin sorgeprocess
The study is based on a new approach on how Swedish healthcare is supposed to be controlled and organized. There is a renowned administration problem within Swedish healthcare, which seems to be an obstacle to exploit the resources to the fullest. The latest venture within the healthcare system is patient involvement, where the patients become co-producers of their own care, which aims to both improve and make healthcare more efficient. A few wards in Sweden have implemented this new approach whereupon the study intends to discuss the effectiveness and efficiency in some of these.The study is restricted to three wards, whereof two of these are inpatient wards and the other one is an outpatient ward, within the medical clinic in Jönköping County Council, which has implemented the patient involvement approach in their daily work. The methodology for this study is qualitative in its nature where a time study of personnel time allocation and supplementary interviews with managing nurses on the wards have been conducted.
