Objective: The out-of-hospital cardiac-arrest incidence in Sweden averages about 10 000 a year. Whether the victim will survive or not is dependent upon rapid actions according to the chain of survival ? early alarm, early CPR, early defibrillation and early medical treatment. While waiting for the ambulance the victim is completely dependent on immediate help from any bystander, because early CPR improves survival rates by two-three folds. Unfortunately not all bystanders start CPR because of different reasons.

I den här uppsatsen försöker jag undersöka huruvida Internet kan användas för att fördjupa detdemokratiska deltagandet, d.v.s. möjligheterna för en s.k. ?Internetdemokrati?. Mer direktundersöker jag Webb 2.0 utifrån ett demokratiskt perspektiv och kopplar det till en empiriskundersökning av de demokratiska behoven i Lunds kommun.

BackgroundMalnutrition in hospitalized patients has a high prevalence. This led to an action plan against malnutrition that was conducted in 2012 at Enköpings hospital. This paper investigated the nursing staff perceptions of this project on nutrition and nutrient intake in two different departments, and whether these perceptions differ between departments. MethodAn inductive approach with semi-structured interview was used in interviews with eight persons from the staff of the two departments of the hospital in Enköping involved in the project. Interviews were recorded, transcribed and analyzed by content analysis. ResultsIn the interview material four categories were identified as well as six different subcategories. The different categories were: "Attitude", "Knowledge", "Procedures" and "Workload".

Inledning: Alkohol har en stor betydelse för folkhälsan och är den femte största riskfaktorn. Efter Sveriges inträde i Europeiska unionen i mitten av 1990 - talet med nya införselkvoter för alkohol ökade alkoholkonsumtionen i Sverige från 6 liter ren alkohol per capita till mer än 11 liter 2002/2003. Det elfte svenska folkhälsopolitiska målet berör tobak, alkohol, narkotika, dopning och spel. Alkoholkonsumtionen ökar mest i Skåne. Lunds befolkning har Sveriges högsta alkoholkonsumtion och har den mest tillåtna attityden till alkohol.

This is a study of the importance of culture for persons who are in their terminal stage of life. The purpose of my study is to find out if culture, particularly literature, can be a comfort for persons who are about to die. The study is based on interviews with people who are working in the palliative team at Norra Älvsborgs Länssjukhus (NÄL) in Trollhättan. It is also based on study of literature. It is literature about hospital library, culture in hospital treatment, palliative care, bibliotherapy and ?own stories? from dying persons.

Bakgrund: Medarbetarsamtal har sina rötter från 1800-talet och används idag ute i organisationerna som ett redskap för att påverka både medarbetarnas och organisationens utveckling. Då jag själv aldrig har haft ett medarbetarsamtal finner jag det intressant att undersöka detta närmare.Syfte: Är att belysa föreställningar kring medarbetarsamtal ur så väl ett individuellt som ett organisatoriskt perspektiv samt om dessa föreställningar kan bidra till medarbetarnas utveckling.Metod: För att uppnå syftet har nio kvalitativa intervjuer genomförts med två chefer och sju medarbetare på Lunds kommun. Vid intervjuerna har jag använt mig av intervjuguider, en vid intervjuerna med cheferna och en när medarbetarna intervjuades. Urvalet till respondenterna har gjorts med hjälp av två kontaktpersoner på kommunen.Resultat: Jag har fått en god inblick kring medarbetarnas och chefernas föreställningar om medarbetarsamtal. Jag har funnit ett par likheter och skillnader.

Databases are an easy way of storing information kept together and accessible and can save time by finding the information easier. Cochleaimplant could be seen as a form of advanced hearing aid, this product consists of two parts, an external part that recieves sound and sends signals to the internal part through electromagnetism. The internal part is the implant itself and is surgically placed in to the cochlea. Örebro University hospital has just started working within the field of Cochleaimplants and are therefore in need of a database to store patient related information.The database problem was solved using Microsoft Access 2003 combined with the built-in support for Visual Basic, which is a sort of programming language. The result of the thesis work was a fully functioning database according to the given specification and is now being used at Örebro University hospital..

The purpose of this study is to find out how and to what extent doctors use the hospital library?s collection of print and electronic medical journals. Major changes have the last years occurred in the journal collection. The journals are very costly and little is known about the user satisfaction with them. Therefore it?s important to examine how satisfied the users are with the collection and how they utilize it.

Every year many dogs in Sweden are bitten by the adder, a venomous snake (Vipera berus). Despite the fact that adder bites are so common in dogs there have been few investigations made that study the effects of treatment with glucocorticoids, a drug that is commonly used. We have carried out a literature study concerning adder bites in dogs and a prospective study where case history, clinical signs and treatment have been recorded in dogs that were presented at two veterinary hospitals after a confirmed or suspected adder bite. Fifty three dogs were included in the study out of which 22 were treated with glucocorticoids. In our study, the group of dogs treated with glucocorticoids was compared with the group of dogs that did not receive glucocorticoid treatment by the owner or on arrival at the clinic.

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. Both men, women and children was shown to be present, as well as wide spread of children and adults.

The aim of this case study was to investigate the role of leadership and interpersonal relations among staff during implementation of lean at a University Hospital in Sweden. The 15 respondents were leaders and staff members from different wards and clinics, who had started working according to lean principles. One of the methods used was explorative, low structured interviews. Other methods used for gathering information about the case was attending lectures about lean healthcare at the hospital, part-taking in the lean game and reading articles about lean and the implementation in both daily press and on the intranet of the hospital. The results showed that an open and accessible leader that coaches his/her staff and supports their work, helps the staff to develop a lean identity.

As the ability to computerize processes and tasks increase, the proliferation of complex systems in our society continues. How these systems are deployed in the organizations where they are meant to be utilized has been shown to have a large impact on how well they function.In January of 2011 the Enköping hospital initiated the deployment of an IT-support for drug management, a module in the general health care system Cambio COSMIC. Other health care providers in the county, and in the rest of Sweden, have had mixed feelings toward the module. Some have outright refused the module, claiming that it is detrimental to patient safety. One of the arguments for deploying the module in Enköping, however, was that it was needed to improve patient safety.The Enköping hospital is considered to be a well organized institution with good leadership and earlier good experiences regarding IT-systems.

Många invandrare i Sverige tycks uppleva sin bakgrund som ett hinder i arbetsrekryteringen. Emellertid är det relativt okänt huruvida den andra parten dvs. de som beslutar i anställningsärenden också anser att den arbetssökandes etniska bakgrund utgör ett hinder för anställning. Därför är tanken med denna uppsats att undersöka hur personer med ansvar för rekrytering inom akademin tenderar att resonera kring olika aspekter på etnicitet vid rekrytering. Min empiri grundar sig på ett kvalitativt tillvägagångssätt med halvstrukturerade intervjuer och med spår av kvantitativt beskådande i form av statistiska mätningar.

Introduction: In Sweden the definition of ambulance nursing is the examination and treatment of sick or injured people done by ambulance nurses during transport.  This means not only focus on the illness or injury but also the human being treated. The paramedic service must be based on the presumption that the medical needs of the patients are guaranteed, and that the expectations and demands of the public are satisfied. Competence and availability are basic terms for a well-functional paramedic service. There is a lot of pressure put on the people working with pre-hospital nursing. One mistake can lead to serious consequences for the patient.

Rese- och turistindustrin är en av världens mest expansiva näringar. Även upplevelseindustrinär på stark tillväxt. Det kan tyckas att nöjesparken Gröna Lund borde gynnas av detta, menunder de senaste sju åren har antalet besökare till Gröna Lund minskat. Med tanke på denkraftiga ökningen i turistindustrin vore det lönsamt för Gröna Lund att göra en medveten satsningpå att locka fler turister att besöka nöjesparken.Det första steget för Gröna Lund, om de vill locka dit fler inresande turister, är att se över sittsätt att nå ut till turisterna. En viktig del i detta arbete är att få insikt i hur de inresande turisternasöker information om sevärdheter, det vill säga hur deras process för informationssökningfungerar, och därefter arbeta för att anpassa Gröna Lunds marknadsföring utifrån detta.Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka inresande Stockholmsturisters process för informationssökning.Utifrån denna har vi sedan givit förslag på hur Gröna Lund bör anpassa sinmarknadsföring för att överensstämma med denna sökprocess och därmed nå ut till fler inresandeStockholmsturister.Vi har satt samman en modell över turisternas process för informationssökning utifrån modellerskapade av Blackwell, Miniard och Engel samt Gursoy och McCleary.
