70 % of all implementations of Balanced Scorecard fail. In this essay, we look into which difficulties that exist when implementing a Balanced Scorecard. We have chosen the general hospital of Ängelholm for our case and we have made qualitative interviews with key persons in the organization to explain these difficulties. The most difficult problem the hospital faced was to make the employees motivated for the change. It is important that the management is encouraging and is taking an active interest in the implementation as well as experience, patience and having a long term focus.

The aim of this study was to determine the self-perceived learning needs in patients with Coronary Heart Disease (CHD). CHD is the leading cause of death worldwide. Poor compliance is one of the causes of rehospitalisation. Patients suffering from CHD need education in order to manage their disease and prevent readmission to hospital. As hospital stays diminish the time available for patient education is limited.

Denna uppsats syftar till att finna förklaringsfaktorer till varför inflytandeforum för unga inte fungerar i vissa svenska kommuner men fungerar i andra. Metoden som har valts är en jämförande fallstudie. De kommuner som valts ut är Kalmar och Lunds kommun, där Kalmar kommun representerar den kommun där inflytandeforumet för unga har fått läggas ner och Lunds kommun representerar den kommun som har ett fungerande inflytandeforum för unga. Uppsatsen har sin teoretiska grund i demokrati- och maktteori. Undersökningens material bygger mestadels på samtalsintervjuer, där en politiker, en kontaktperson (tjänsteman) och en ungdom från varje kommun har intervjuats.Resultatet visar att det kring inflytandeforumens startande råder ganska lika förhållanden, de har ungefär samma syften och mål, initiativtagare har i båda fallen varit ungdomarna och engagemanget från politiker och ungdomar har varit liknande.

The main purpose of this essay is to analyze the late medieval shirt found in the cathedral of Lund. It has been preserved in the church and later on exhibited in the museum of Lunds cathedral. The most interesting thing about this shirt is probably its close connection to the secular world, as well as to the church. At first sight it appears to be a liturgical garment, it seams to be far too big for a regular, profane smock or shirt, but in a letter received by the church of Lund from Christian I of Denmark this shirt is mentioned as a chemise, or smock. The questions I aim to answer on the following pages goes, what characterizes the chemise or smock? What characterizes the mass shirt or alba? How can you use this type of analyse to examine the shirt from the cathedral of Lund?.

This thesis analyses how a radiology department at the largest hospital in Sweden, Karolinska University Hospital, most profitably could expand its capacity for investigating cancer patients using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The queues today for patients waiting to be scanned are long, which delays the start of cancer treatments. Meanwhile the hospital has a budget deficit of half a billion SEK, which make any expansion hard. In this thesis we evaluate the alternatives of investing in new machinery; utilize the current machinery better by using them more days annually or through a shift work system. Finally we evaluate a combination of these.

Denna uppsats söker förstå beslutsprocessen som resulterade i att Lunds och Frederiksbergs kommun fattade beslutet om att samarbeta. Beslutsprocessen resulterade i ett informellt samarbete, och söks förstås med hjälp av Cohen, March och Olsens Garbage Can-modell, och Kingdons window of opportuntity (möjlighetsfönster). Garbage Can-modellen består av fyra flöden, som innehåller beslutstillfällen, problem, lösningar och deltagare. Dessa flöden kan kopplas samman då möjlighetsfönster uppstår, vilket sker vid opinions- eller känsloförändringar bland befolkning och politiker.Vi har kommit fram till att beslutsprocessen bör förstås som att lösningen informellt samarbete mellan Lund och Frederiksberg, kopplades till problem relaterade till att vilja vara en del av Öresundsregionen, och beslutstillfällen såsom Öresundskommittén. Deltagare drev lösningarna och identifierade problemen.

The main aim of this study is to determine whether the monastery in Ny Varberg has been used as a hospital during its active years. The second aim has been to investigate weather the buried individuals at the monastery at Ny Varberg exclusively are deceased monks. Only individuals from the monastery's active years has been included in this study. A total of 16 inhumated individuals was analysed.

This thesis is a systematic review of the Swedish healthcare and hospital-library?s authorities on the consumer health information. The goal is to evaluate the strengths and weaknesses that are inherited in two professions (medical and LiS) with two completely different perspectives on mediating information.The method used is a mix between conceptual analysis of the Swedish term ?patient information? and a Critical conceptual analysis, according to Fairclough, of published native theses and international professional journals.Conclusion of the thesis is that although the nursing and medical staff has the necessary medical expertise it does not, in many cases have either the time or skill to completely satisfy a patient or his/her next of kin´s information needs when exposed in a uneasy situation as when in need of treatment or help in any kind.The hospital librarian on the other hand does have the intermediating skills and most often the time to explain complex treatments or medical procedures, but the lack in medical or nursing expertise.In a perfect setting there is an inter-professional cooperation which brings a lot of positive results. The problem today is often to overcome the gap in awareness of one and other that exists in a modern Swedish hospital..

Bakgrund: Sömnstörningar är ett vanligt förekommande problem med konsekvenser för hälsa och arbetsförmåga. Flera studier har visat att kognitiv beteendeterapi (KBT) kan vara en effektiv behandling för insomni. KBT innebär att kopplingen mellan sömnproblem och sängläge bryts genom kortare sovtid (sömnrestriktion) och undvikande av vaken tid i sängen (stimuluskontroll), parallellt med medvetandegörande och förändring av negativa tankar. Syfte: Syftet med denna studie var att utvärdera effekten av den 7-veckors KBT-behandling mot insomni som beteendevetare och företagsläkare på FHV i Lunds Kommun utförde i tre gruppomgångar under 2007-2008 för anställda i Lunds Kommun.Metod: 13 anställda med insomni behandlades för insomni med KBT. Samtliga deltagare var kvinnor med en medelålder på 48 år.

This bachelor thesis aimed to explore, in a qualitative manner, the relationship and the interaction between the hospital welfare officer and the rest of the nursing staff. We chose this subject because we wanted to explain the phenomena of being a medical outsider in the nursing team. Our questions at issue were the following three: How does the hospital welfare officer define his occupational sphere and how do the rest of the nursing staff define it, according to the welfare officer himself? Is the welfare officer's relation to his own professional role and to the rest of the nursing staff affected by where his office is placed - secluded from or within the clinic? How does the welfare officer himself value his profession in relation to the rest of the nursing crew? To answer these questions we interviewed eight welfare officers, placed in two different hospitals. We used three different theories to explain the primary information.

This thesis deals with the information-seeking behaviour of occupational therapists. Focus was on three different aspects of information-seeking behaviour. The purpose was to investigate how occupational therapists conceive of work-related information needs, their choice and use of formal and informal information sources and their use of the hospital library. Twelve interviews with occupational therapists were conducted at a rehabilitation clinic in a hospital. The theoretical frame consists of a general model of the information-seeking of professionals by Leckie, Pettigrew and Sylvain.

Lund är beläget i ett högintensivt jordbruksområde i sydvästra Skåne och andelen allemansrättslig mark i det tätortsnära landskapet är liten. För att tillgodose stadsinvånarnas behov av rekreation är tydliga strategier för grönstrukturplanering i kommunen viktigt. Ett verktyg i arbetet med tillgängligörandet av åkerlandskapet utanför staden är så kallade beträdor. Beträdor är smala strängar av insått vallgräs som lämnas obrukad längs åkerkanter och kan fungera som gångstråk ut i landskapet. Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka hur Lunds kommun, med hjälp av beträdor, arbetar med tillgängliggörandet av det stadsnära jordbrukslandskapet för dess invånare. Studier av Lunds översiktsplan och Grönstruktur- och naturvårdsprogram gjordes för att utreda vilka intentioner och strategier kommunen har med grönstrukturplaneringen och vilken roll beträdor spelar i planeringsarbetet.

At the moment, democracy enhancing projects can be seen everywhere on the municipal level. The purpose of this thesis is to explain how the city of Lund takes on this challenge, why they have chosen to carry out citizen councils and if these are a good way to intensify democracy and open communication channels between citizens, the administration and the elected officials.The theoretical framework consists of seven arguments for gaining citizen influence on policy, and as a counterweight three critical arguments that opponents of participatory democracy often use are added.After a survey over both the Swedish national trends in municipal renewal and the last years work in Lund, the analysis goes on showing that most of the arguments point to the disadvantage of the citizen councils. Even though legitimacy possibly is enhanced by the project, there are probably better ways to open up for more communication and intensify democracy in the local community..
