Syftet med detta arbete var att undersöka vad en erfaren improvisationsmusiker, Joakim Milder, anser vara betydelsefullt för att bli en god musiker och improvisatör. Resultaten kopplas till relevant litteratur och egna erfarenheter inom området. Arbetet grundas på en kvalitativ intervju med Joakim Milder och tar upp praktiska, mentala och andliga aspekter. Jag har kommit fram till att det handlar om att inte stå i vägen för musiken, det vill säga: målet är att uppnå en sådan nivå musikaliskt, teoretiskt, gehörsmässigt och mentalt, att man upplever total frihet att uttrycka sig konstnärligt på det sätt man önskar. En öppen, nyfiken attityd och ett intresse för improvisation underlättar lärandet.

Objectives: The purpose of the study was to examine if a pre- and post-operative difference could be seen in self-reported pain disability and self-efficacy among patients undergoing surgery as treatment for spinal disc herniation in order to improve process of rehabilitation.Method: A quantitative and descriptive design was used. 10 patients awaiting surgical treatment for spinal disc herniation were included at Akademiska sjukhuset (The Academic Hospital) in Uppsala. Participation was voluntary and the selection was made by convenience. Data was collected using The Pain Disability Index and Self-Efficacy Scale by which the patient would estimate how hindered they felt because of their pain in everyday activities and their self-efficacy to perform everyday activities. This was done the day before surgery and two weeks after surgery.

The purpose of this paper is to examine information sharing in a hospital organization that is undergoing reorganization. The aiming is to make all employees at all levels actively involved in business development in order to create a smooth and, from a patient?s perspective, adequate emergency care. The paper suggests that the theory of social capital can explain the complexity of what motivate and what promote individuals to share information. The method used in the paper is the case study, focusing on detecting, interpreting and gaining insight on how information shares in an emergency department.

This study is a formative evaluation of a prototypecollaboratory for sharing data collection instruments inlibrary and information science (LIS). The aims were to findout: how the study participants, five hospital librarians,experienced the interaction with the prototype while workingwith predetermined tasks; and their views on the differentfunctions of the prototype collaboratory.Methods used for data collection was as a survey; followedby a think-aloud session where the participant verbalisedhis/her thoughts during the interaction with the prototype;and finally a semistructured interview. The survey wasanalysed with a frequency distribution, while the data fromthe other methods were analysed qualitatively by extractingthemes from the transcribed sessions.The results show that although the librarians expresseddifferent problems while working with the interface, mainlyrelated to the language in the prototype collaboratory anddifficulties with the page for applying metadata, all of themwere confident in being able to learn the system after using itfor a while. The librarians had a positive attitude towardssharing data collection instruments as well as comments inthe prototype collaboratory. At the same time, they wereaware that students and researchers might have differentabilities or incentives to work and share information.

Inledning: I Sverige drabbas årligen ca 10 000 personer av hjärtstopp, av dem överlever ca 300 personer. Under 2005- 2008 drabbades 2973 personer av hjärtstopp på sjukhus, av dessa kunde endast 30 % skrivas ut levande. Bakgrund: De första fallen av närståendes närvaro vid återupplivning inträffade vid Foote Hospital i Michigan, USA, 1982. Personalen blev då tvungna att ifrågasätta sina egna riktlinjer som uteslöt närstående vid återupplivning. Internationella riktlinjer för hjärt- lungräddning (HLR) rekommenderar att närstående bör få närvara vid återupplivning.

 Inner resistanceThe aim of this study was to investigate the existence of an internal resistance to a work-related change in people who are long-term sick, and if this is related to an identification as ?long-term sick?. A second purpose to the study was to research in which way this internal resistance to a work-related change manifests and point to possible solutions. A qualitative study was conducted with interviews of experts and people on sick leave to illuminate the subject. The main result was divided into interviewed groups.

This paper examines and analyzes effects of the introduction of a new management control system tool within a Swedish public health organization, the Södra Älvsborg hospital, and its possible effect on organizational change. The new management control system tool, known as the SÄS-model, has been widely criticized for being too costly and with too small positive effects to be shown. Our approach has with that as a background been to examine whether the implementation of the SÄS-model and its balanced scorecard has been able to result in effects regarding organizational change. We have through a case study aimed to analyze how a management control system, much alike one that is typically used within foremost private organizations, can promote organizational change. Our results suggest that the implementation of the SÄS-model and the balanced scorecard has given the organization clearer visions and goals.

As people grow older, physical and mental changes occur that can make the use of cars more complicated. The possibility to travel by car is important for many people to keep the connection with the society and to feel independent.

SUMMARYPrevious research has shown that there is a connection between the doorways and postoperative wound infections. Despite recommendations from Socialstyrelsen and the individual hospitals' PM there is still high traffic in the operating theatres. In a hybrid theatre environment combined X-ray techniques of surgery, resulting in it being further two categories inside the operating theatre. This may generate an increase in traffic flow. The study is a prospective, non-participant observation study conducted in the spring of 2013 at a university hospital in western Sweden.

Proaktivitet innebär att aktivt försöka forma sitt liv och sin miljö. Syftet med denna kvalitativa studie var att undersöka proaktivitet utifrån proaktiva människors egna tankar och känslor. Av resultatet på ett proaktivitetstest valdes de sju deltagarna med de högsta värdena på proaktivitet ut för intervjuer. Datamaterialet bearbetades sedan med en kombination av deduktiv och induktiv tematisk analys. Deltagarna ansåg sig ha en proaktiv disposition; de beskrev sig som nyfikna; som entreprenörstyper som stimulerades av problemlösning; som envisa; de utgick från målbilder och genomgick en mental planeringsfas innan handling; de betonade eget ansvar; kontroll var viktigt för dem; och de associerade aktivitet med positiva känslor.
