I Sverige amputeras årligen cirka 2500 personer, merparten av dessa är benamputationer. Traumatiska amputationer är en av de mest kostsamma skadorna idag. Syftet med studien var att beskriva upplevelsen av att bli traumatiskt amputerad i en olycka eller efter en operation. Studien genomfördes som en litteraturstudie där 11 artiklar analyserades. Resultatet kategoriserades utifrån Cullbergs faser; chockfasen, reaktionsfasen, bearbetningsfasen och nyorienteringsfasen.

The Swedish academic libraries have gone trough radical changes during the last decades. The development of information technology, the educational expansion and new pedagogical ways of learning within the higher educational system have changed the conditions, not only for the academic libraries, but also in many ways for the librarians. The aim of this Masters thesis is to examine how Swedish librarians experience their pedagogic role and task in the context of an academic library. The following four questions in this investigation were asked: How do the librarians experience the formal task that they have? How do the librarians experience the physical library environment? How do the librarians experience the co-operation with others involved in their work? How do the librarians experience their own pedagogic knowledge and competence in their daily practice? The study showed that these librarians believed the physical environment to be very important and is seen as a pedagogical tool in their daily work.

Background:Companies of today commonly search to gain competitive advantages throughout different forms of co-operation, one of which is referred to as Supply Chain Management. Although little research has been assigned to the topic of how to manage and control this type of relation, lately a growing number of academics has been arguing that ABC is an appropriate mean of controlling this type of relationships.Purpose:The purpose of this thesis is to investigate to what degree the ongoing debate on the use of ABC as a mean of control within SCM correspond to the present theories related to ABC and SCM respectively.Research method:The thesis takes it?s starting point within the literature, meaning that the empirical information consists of published articles in the ongoing debate. This information is put in relation to the original theories concerning both topics.Conclusions:The results shown in the thesis in some content agrees with the ongoing debate referring to the positive aspects that could result from using ABC as a mean of control within SCM. However the main result of the study is the discovery of a lack of discussion concerning the problems that implementing ABC within SCM might implicate, a fact that we believe contributes to the mainly positive view on using ABC within Supply Chain Management..

I detta arbete behandlas polisens verksamhetsstyrning och nya metoder att redovisa de faktiska arbetsinsatserna samt hur dessa metoder att styra och mäta polisens arbete uppfattas av poliser på ingripandeenheten i Sundsvalls närpolisområde. Arbetet bygger på genomförda intervjuer med poliser på ingripandeenheten. Under kapitlet förklaringsmodell sker en genomgång av hur polisen styrs samt förändringen av polisens verksamhetsstyrning och den nya modell som implementerats. Resultaten från intervjuerna visar på att många poliser uppfattar den nya verksamhetsstyrningen som något negativt och en produkt av chefer för chefer. Intervjuerna ger även en bild av att många poliser inte är insatta i det arbetssätt som bör tillämpas i enlighet med den nya modellen.

In this thesis a transport system is sought after thatif realised in the city of Uppsala could provide bothwell-being to all its inhabitants and sustainability,here jointly refered to as liveability. It is found thatthe car dominated transport system that is inoperation today provides two fundamental values,namely accessibility in both time and space, whichsets it apart from other transport solutions. Thesetwo values are of immense importance for theliveability in our modern world. On the other handthe car dominated system decreases the liveabilityof Uppsala in several different ways. Some of theseproblems, it is argued, could be solved within thecar system, through the adoption of moreenvironmentally friendly cars etc., but otherproblems are inherent in the car system and willremain no matter what changes are made.

Our Bachelor´s Thesis has been performed in co-operation with Bors Automation & Tool AB.Our task was to develop a servomotor powered tube cutting-machine with initial point fromtoday's hydraulic driven tube cutting machine Bors HYD 23. The purpose with the newconstruction was to achieve a more power-efficient tube cutting machine which could lowerthe power consumption, and also meet the market continued growing demand forenvironmental-conscious production.Bors Automation & Tool gave us relatively free hands in order to enable new thinking ideaswithout following their traditional constructional solutions.Our solution resulted in a construction based on a power source existing of a servomotordrivenrollerscrew, witch provides a more rational use of energy compared with the currentmethod.Bors Automation & Tool AB has decided to fabricate a prototype of Bors E 23 during theautumn of 2007, which they are planning to revile at the Tube 2008 exhibition in Düsseldorf,Germany.NOTE:Due to an agreement signed by the authors in the beginning of this project, no appendix is published at this time.If you want to wiew these documents, please contact the authors..

Hos äldre som vårdas på sjukhus efter en operation är delirium en vanlig komplikation. Tidigare studier visar att postoperativt delirium resulterar i förlängd sjukhusvistelse och ökad mortalitet. Syftet med studien var att beskriva omvårdnad i samband med postoperativt delirium. Metoden var en litteraturstudie byggd på 17 artiklar ur databaserna CINAHL och Medline. Studien genomfördes enligt en modifierad version av Polit och Becks (2012) modell för litteraturstudier.

XML och JSON är två populära självbeskrivande format för dataöverföring på Internet. För att minska kostnader i form av tid och energi vid dataöverföring används ofta komprimering. På webben används generella komprimeringsalgoritmer för att minska storleken på data i självbeskrivande format. Ett sätt att i vissa fall minska storleken ytterligare är att strukturera om datamängden så att redundansen minskar men semantiken behålls intakt. I detta arbete undersöks förhållandet mellan den ökade tidsåtgången för databehandling som en omstrukturering innebär och den minskade överföringstid som uppstår tack vare den reducerade datastorleken.

Syftet med studien var att undersöka hur patienterna på en ortopedisk avdelning uppfattade sin postoperativa smärtbehandling och tillfredsställelse med vården. Metod: En enkätstudie med konsekutivt urval gjordes under hösten 2010 på en ortopedisk avdelning på ett sjukhus i Mellansverige. Urvalet bestod av 47 ortopediska patienter, både män och kvinnor, som genomgått operation och enkäten, som berörde hela den postoperativa vårdtiden, lämnades ut postoperativ dag tre. Åldrarna varierade mellan 23 och 82 år. Resultat: Majoriteten av patienterna ansåg sig nöjda med smärtbehandlingen och sin tid på avdelningen.

In this master thesis, which is made in a qualitative manner, we have as purpose to investigate the nurses' estimation of the hospital welfare officer. We find it interesting to take a closer look at their opinion, because of our earlier, bachelor thesis, based on the same subject, only then in the welfare officer´s perspective on themselves. We have interviewed ten nurses and our questions at issue were the following four: Where in the hospital´s hierarchy do the nurses place the welfare officer? In what way do the nurses look at themselves and on the fact that they are leagally authorized? How do the nurses define the welfare officer´s occupational sphere and his part of the medical care? Which opinion do the nurses have on the co-operation with the hospital welfare officer? The primary information, together with two maintheories and a collection of litterature on the subject have helped us to answer the four questions of issue. We have found that the results we see, in some ways are compareable to our first investigation.

Bakgrund: Korsbandsruptur är en vanlig skada både hos människor och hundar. I de flesta fall krävs operation och eferföljande rehabilitering. Inom veterinärmedicinen finns inga standardiserade funktionella tester att tillgå vid utvärdering efter korsbandsrehabilitering, vilket har efterfrågats. Syfte: Syftet med studien har varit att utforma, utveckla och utvärdera en enkät med ändamål att fungera som ett utvärderingsinstrument i samband med sjukgymnastisk rehabilitering av korsbandsopererade hundar. Metod: Enkäten har utformats utifrån WOMAC Osteoarthritis Index.

ABSTRACT (english)Introduction: The possibility to transplant an organ is an important part of the health care system, which demands great resources and a well functioning organization with a level of high competence. The work with organ donation is complex and brings forward a great amount of different emotions for the operation room nurse. Aim: The aim with the study is to illustrate the operating room nurses experience when the organ donor is brain dead. Method: Data collection has been performed with semi-structured interviews, which have been interpreted by qualitative manifest analysis. The design of the study is pilot towards a study in full scale.

This thesis treats the subject of a complete steady state and dynamic model of the VSC-HVDC covering both the AC and DC system-side of the converter. The topology of the model is recreated after the scheduled transmission line in the south of Sweden, called SydVa?stla?nken. The topology covers both a simple two terminal connection as well as a multi-terminal one. This model is to be implemented in the power system simulation program ARISTO.

This report is the final step in the Bachelor of Science program in Building Construction Engineering, Department of Engineering Sciences, Uppsala University.The purpose of this study is to highlight the difficulties and possibilities that could involve the introduction of new energy efficient technologies and changing work around this technology. This study focuses on energy use at a construction site or other temporary workplace where so-called portacabins are in place to address the need for temporary facilities.The method for obtaining knowledge on the subject was mainly interviews with site managers working in Svevia AB's various activities. In conjunction with the interviews I visited construction sites and portacabins if it was possible.My most important suggestion to Svevia AB concerns a better organization in order to make poratacabins more efficient on energy and costs. The company should also evaluate and monitor the energy efficient portacabins that are in operation.Expected energy savings of new technology may not materialize if there are gaps in information, education, technical services and technical maintenance. It is very important to utilize the experiences of new technology.
