Varje år opereras flera miljoner människor för katarakt, vilken är en av världens vanligaste och mest framgångsrika operationer. Efter en kataraktoperation skall patienterna administrera ögondroppar i hemmet. Pilotstudiens syfte var att beskriva patientens erfarenheter av ögondroppsbehandling efter en kataraktoperation. Frågeställningen var vilka erfarenheter patienten hade av den erhållna informationen om ordinerad postoperativ ögondroppsbehandling samt administreringen av ögondroppar efter genomgången kataraktoperation. Pilotstudien utfördes som en intervjustudie med en beskrivande kvalitativ design med induktiv ansats.

The objective of this work was to introduce measures to reduce energy and water demand at Gävle Söder 17:10. To succeed, this energy audit has been made. The work is based on collected statistics from the property owner Norrporten, measurements, literature review and through consultation with experts in the field. Two models, one for each building, have been created in the simulation program BV2 to estimate the potential of energy measures based on the collected information. The models in BV2 have been verified against the statistics of the energy consumption.With the help of calculations and simulations, seven cost-effective measures have been identified.

Bakgrund: Tonsilloperation är den vanligaste kirurgin som utförs på barn och ungdomar. Operationen medför långvarig smärta samt hög frekvens av illamående. I Sverige år 2012 kontaktade nästan en fjärdedel av alla föräldrar till barn som genomgått tonsillkirurgi sjukvården p.g.a. ej acceptabel smärta.Syfte: Syftet var att i en nationell studie kartlägga farmakologiska rutiner och informationen i samband med tonsilloperation hos barn och ungdomar.Metod: Kvantitativ deskriptiv studie, vilket utfördes som en enkätstudie där populationen var 52 öron-näs hals-kliniker i Sverige. Respondenter var öronläkare, öronsjuksköterska, anestesiläkare och anestesisjuksköterska (totalt 163 enkäter).Resultat: Svarsfrekvensen var 88 % från totalt 47 kliniker.

Studiens syfte är att undersöka vilka erfarenheter patienter har av bemötande, integritet och miljö på en uppvakningsavdelning. Studien är kvantitativ med deskriptiv design och utgörs av en enkätundersökning som patienter vårdade på en uppvakningsavdelning, på ett länssjukhus i södra Sverige, har fått besvara. I bakgrunden beskrivs vad postoperativ vård innebär och vilka faktorer som påverkar patienten. Vidare beskrivs bemötande, integritet och miljö på uppvak-ningsavdelningar baserat på litteratur och tidigare forskning inom området. Den enkät som används i studien är utarbetad utifrån frågeformuläret KUPP (Kvalitet Ur Patientens Perspek-tiv) vilket anses vara väl beprövat.

SAMMANFATTNINGInledning: Brister i kommunikationen vårdpersonal emellan är en bidragande faktor tillmajoriteten av alla skador och missöden i vården. Anestesisjuksköterskan lämnar patienternatill en uppvakningsavdelning efter att anestesin har avslutats där hon ger en muntlig rapporttill intensivvårdssjuksköterska. Den muntliga överrapporteringen har som syfte attsäkerhetsställa kontinuiteten i vården. Anestesi- och intensivvårdssjuksköterskan är två olikaspecialistområden och ämnet kommer att beskrivas ur dessa två perspektiv.Syfte: Studiens syfte är att beskriva anestesi- och intensivvårdssjuksköterskor upplevelse avmuntlig postoperativ överrapportering.Metod: En pilotstudie utfördes med fyra semistrukturerade intervjuer; tvåanestesisjuksköterskor respektive två intensivvårdssjuksköterskor för att pröva studienshållbarhet. Resultatet av pilotstudien kommer att redovisas.

Total amount of words: 15 269.In this essay, the purpose is to examine the personalization of Swedish national coaches during international championships in the Swedish tabloids. Research shows that a leader nowadays is representative for her organization. Therefore it could be assumed that the way the national coach is portrayed can have some kind of effect on the public opinion about the team as a unit and their sport federation in total. This essay is a quantitative study of the sport tabloids Sportbladet och SPORT-Expressen during three international championships: Euro 2012 in football, WC 2013 in ice hockey and Euro 2014 in handball. We have studied the coverage of the national coaches Erik Hamrén, Pär Mårts and Ola Lindgren/Staffan Olsson in contrast to the coverage of their teams in total.The main results are that the national coaches are mentioned in every second article that is written about the national teams during the championships. They are mainly portrayed in a neutral way, even though the coverage of them is affected by the results in the matches.

Bakgrund: Dagkirurgi, att opereras och gå hem samma dag, är en vårdform som har ökat markant i Sverige senaste åren. Tidigare studier har visat att många patienter som genomgår dagkirurgi upplever oro inför operation, vilket orsakar lidande för individen men också ökat behov av sömnmedel och ökad risk för postoperativ smärta och oro. För att kunna genomföra omvårdnadsåtgärder för att minska oro måste den först identifieras, vilket framförallt är anestesisjuksköterskans uppgift i mötet med patienten. Syfte: Att undersöka patienters skattning av sin oro vid ankomst till operationsavdelningen vid dagkirurgi samt hur väl anestesisjuksköterskans skattning av patientens oro överensstämmer med patientens egen skattning. Metod: En kvantitativ enkätstudie som genomfördes på två operationsavdelningar i Uppsala län under en veckas tid, totalt inkluderades 88 patienter och 60 anestesisjuksköterskebedömningar.

This thesis reports on a case study of two different organisational forms in the Swedish forest industry; the geographic and the functional organisation. The work in the geographic organisation is carried out within districts under the supervision of an overall responible district manager, where as in the functional organisation the work has been divided into functions headed by function managers. Forest magement, logging and wood purchases are examples of such functions. The general idea of the functional organisation is having the functions working over a larger geographic unit, without subdividing district boundaries of the region. Also a third organisational form of current interest for the forest industry; the process orientated organisation, is analyzed in the case study. Here, a company outside the forest industry has been analyzed, since no forest company was considered to have made as much progress of changing organisation to process orientation. In the report I present the results from qualitative interviews, where I give the reader a picture of the motives behind each organisational form, what the form implies for some of the company?s interested parties and the organisations? views on future organisational development.

Patienterna på en intensivvårdsavdelning ligger i riskzonen för oavsiktlig hypotermi. De tidigare identifierade riskgrupperna är bland annat förekomst av kontinuerlig hemodialys, vissa sederande läkemedel, stor mängd intravenös vätska samt kirurgiska ingrepp i generell anestesi. Hypotermi har negativa konsekvenser för patienterna som ökad blödningsrisk, försämrad sårläkning samt kardiologisk påverkan. Syftet med studien var att undersöka förekomsten av hypotermi hos intensivvårdade patienter. En retrospektiv deskriptiv studie på 583 vuxna patienter som vårdades på en intensivvårdsavdelning någon gång under 2009 genomfördes.

The purpose of this study is to examine the situation of the school for boys 15-21 years of age lacking compulsory school attendance and is being located at five residential care units from the pedagogues? point of view. The study was conducted by interviewing four pedagogical leaders and two teachers. The results demonstrate that the boys can choose the subjects they study as well as the amount of time they spend on studying each week. The teachers include non-learning activities during their lessons.

Executive SummaryThis final thesis has examined the effects of an increased centralization and better coord­in­ation of the distribution logistics at ABB in Västerås. The company is today strongly decent­ralized and there is a minimum of collaboration between the 20 business units. This is why the questions were raised; how could the business units coordinate outbound logistic activities and what effects would that provide. The obj­ect­ive of this final thesis is to provide basic data for a future decision-making which desc­r­ibe these effects.The report has mapped out the factors that are important to ABB in an evaluation of their logistic activities and how the outbound logistics work today. The four factors are cost efficiency, delivery service, environmental impact and logistics capability.

The use of mobile devices has increased dramatically in recent years and the development of newtechnologies has made it difficult for developers to know what screen size and device the visitor isusing. This has resulted in the fact that today there is a problem with the interface for web pages onmobile devices. They are not adapted to the flexibility required for the interfaces to be recognizedon various mobile devices. Instead of developing two separate web pages, where one is designed formobile devices and one for desktop and keep them both continously updated, responsive webdesign simplifies the work process. Responsive web design is a flexible and dynamic interface thatadapts to mobile device and screen sizes.
