Projektet har bedrivits på GE Healthcares fabrik i Umeå där system för främst proteinrening/kromatografi tillverkas. Fabriken monterar en rad olika modeller tillverkningsmetoden är i första hand manuell montering. Syftet med examensarbetet är att kartlägga och optimera produktionsflöden i fabriken samt ta fram förslag på ny produktionslayout för hela fabriken samt en mer detaljerad layout för produktionsgruppen StandardÄKTA. Projektet har bedrivits enligt principen för Ranhagens (1995) projektspiral där samtliga faser arbetas igenom ett antal gånger men fokus flyttas för varje varv. Vidare har stort fokus legat på beskrivningen av nuläget, noggranna tidsstudier har utförts vilket både gav underlag för analyser såväl som skapade en större förståelse för arbetet och var den största utvecklingspotentialen finns.

The study was conducted in Jönköping County Chamber of fibrillation and is about change and improvement of process modeling technology. The process for treating patients with fibrillation is in the need to evolve and improve. In order to develop the care they needed a current state description which usually is made with the traditional process modeling tool.Many scientists and health professionals is in the opinion that this technology gives a too rigid image to describe the care processes. It also does not sufficiently take into account the human aspects. This reasoning suggests that the process modeling technology in healthcare is in the need to develop multiple perspectives.

Att sluta eller inte sluta? En litteraturstudie om tobaksavvänjningsmetoder Bjellman, K. Tobaksbruket har en lång historia, och de tobaksrelaterade sjukdomarna kostar samhället miljarder i sjukvårdskostnader och produktionsbortfall varje år. Andelen rökare minskar stadigt i Sverige, idag röker ca 15 procent av befolkningen. Resultaten från olika metoder för tobaksavvänjning är tämligen blygsamma, och ugefär nittio procent av de som slutar röka gör det på egen hand.

Since the early 1940s in Sweden, subsidies have been a recurring feature in housing politics.Throughout history, these have been used as a management measure to control theconstruction of housing and to promote the Swedish welfare state. The political parties aretoday disagreeing on how much responsibility the state should carry for citizens housing. Tosolve the conflict, the dwelling has to be defined. Is the dwelling to be considered a socialright, like education and healthcare or is the dwelling to be considered a product for the freemarket, driven by supply and demand?The positive population growth in Stockholm has lead to an increased demand for dwellings.The supply of dwellings has not been growing at the same rate, which has implied higherhousing prices and longer wait for rented apartments.

This thesis, in the field of healthcare logistics, has been carried out at Hjärt- och Medicincentrum (HMC) at the University Hospital in Linköping during the fall and spring of 2012/2013. The thesis is done by two students at Linköping University at master?s level within the framework of Industrial Engineering and Management.As Sweden's county councils should not make a profit or loss, it is important that the councils are aware of how much care processes cost. Kardiologiska kliniken at HMC in Östergötland?s county council is one of the clinics that are profitable.

Den här studien undersöker hur 3D-visualisering underlättar arbetet med brukare i produktbestämningsskedet. Den fokuserar på hur 3D-visualisering kan förbättra kommunikationen mellan projektaktörer och vårdverksamhet. Undersökningen gjordes på Centralsjukhuset i Karlstad med Landstinget i Värmland som uppdragsgivare och ByggDialog AB som handledare. I detta projekt som är benämnt CSK 2013 användes byggnadsinformationsmodellering, BIM. Främst i form av en gemensam objektbaserade 3D-modell där alla tekniska discipliners ritningar ingår.Problemet som ligger till grund för studien är hur kommunikationen med verksamheten och deras förståelse för utformningen kan stärkas.

Authorities, municipalities and county councils have great opportunities to pave the way to a sustainable society. In the public sector, the tax revenue is used and therefore it is important that both employees and societal stakeholders feel that they participate in the sector?s decisions and fields of application. Municipalities and county councils are primarily service organisations. The employees? commitment is necessary to be able to reach set goals, to develop procedures and policies that support the overall political goals, in other words, to be successful in the environmental work.

Det är uppenbart för alla inom sjukvården i Gävle att de ligger på gränsen till vad de kan hantera. Landstingen bestämmer inte bara vad sjukvården skall producera, utan även vad det får kosta. Det går ibland inte ihop, vilket föder frustration och vanmakt hos berörda avdelningar och personal. Behovet av sjukvård kommer troligen att öka ytterligare i framtiden, och vi verkar ha kommit till vägens ände vad gäller nuvarande arbetssätt. Syfte och mål med detta examensarbete är att genomföra en förstudie till att implementera och arbeta med lean på Gävle sjukhus och ortopedavdelningen.

Veterinary hospital care and advanced veterinary services are rapidly growing industries. As of January 1, 2010, veterinary nursing became a licensed vocation, the title of veterinary nurse became protected, and the act regulating competence among the professions of the veterinary field was extended. These changes, along with increased demands and expectations from owners, have given rise to greater demands on the staff's qualifications and have increased the need for well-educated staff with expertise in several different areas. The aim of this study was to find out what the licensed veterinary nurse can do in terms of rehabilitation for the hospitalized equine patient suffering from orthopedic injury. This has been carried out through qualitative interviews with veterinary surgeons experienced in treating such patients, and also by reviewing the relevant literature.

AbstractThis report has been developed in cooperation with Peab Region Bostad Göteborg, mentor at Krook& Tjäder (through Chalmers), and examiner at Chalmers University of Technology. The report is the result of a research of a building project, constructed by Peab. The report is investigating and it means to identify and evaluate qualities in the dwelling and its surroundings. Its purpose is to evaluate how the residents in a chosen housing cooperative enjoy living there. It shall, with help of chosen quality aspects, identify what expectations the residents had before moving in, how they experience the dwelling and its surroundings today, and what hopes they have for the future planning of the area.

Vårt språk lär vi oss tidigt i livet men den största delen av vår kommunikation sker ickeverbalt genom kroppsspråk, mimik och gester utan att vi reflekterar över det. Detta utgör cirka 80-95 procent av den dagliga kommunikationen och är av stor vikt i klientkontakten inom vården. Denna litteraturstudie tar upp vikten av medveten grundläggande kommunikation inom vårdyrken, såväl på humansidan som i arbetet med djur. Studien syftar till att ta reda på hur djurhälsopersonalen kan bli bättre på att kommunicera med djurägare och därigenom uppnå en högre följsamhet. För att effektivisera kontakten mellan klienter och vårdpersonal har modeller som The Four Habit Approach och CRAFT tagits fram, vilka ska öka samarbetsmöjligheter, följsamhet och vårdkvalitet. I den internationella litteraturen används de olika begreppen compliance, adherence och concordance för att beskriva just följsamhet.
