To identify the underlying forces behind a product hype is difficult and the findings often seem random and unclear. To create a better understanding behind the affecting mechanisms would consequently be a valuable addition to the surrounding research area. The purpose of this paper is to understand if there exist common denominators between different product hypes and in such a case, which these are and how they function. By conducting a case-study on four products which have enjoyed immense sale success on the Swedish market, the possible presence of structural resemblance will be analyzed. From the study we can conclude common denominators such as the presence of an underlying trend and an overbalance of indirect decision basis do exist.

Abstract Tutor - Anders Richtnér History - Theories suggest that Lean Product Development strategies dramatically increase a company's performance through enabling faster T-T-M, Quality and Costs of Product Development. Purpose - The purpose of this paper is therefore to investigate whether the implementation of LPD actually affect corporate performance measurements T-T-M, Quality and Cost, in a positive way. Methodology - This Bachelor thesis is an exploratory investigation of the concept of Lean Product Development within a global IT- company, performed through four case studies, interviews and complementing corporate performance data. Findings - With empirical data and subsequent analyzes in mind, we note the following; it is clear that the project that produced the best results, in terms of T-T-M, Quality and Cost, also was the one furthest in the process of implementing Lean Product Development..

The purpose with this study was to elucidate the pros and the cons with a sale support system. This has been narrowed down into two questions: ?What are the pros and cons for a company that have a sale support system? and what are the pros and cons for a company that does not yet have a system?? Configurator that is a sale support system has been studied. It is a system that presents products by accepting different functions, qualities or parts that are possible to match. It can be used in business-to-business or business-to-consumer situations, through different sale channels, namely direct sale, indirect sale and online sale.

During the last years, meticillin resistant Staphylococcus pseudintermedius (MRSP) have caused an increasing number of infections in Swedish dogs. MRSP is resistant against a majority of the antimicrobials available for dogs in Sweden, making it difficult to treat the infection. Our knowledge of the bacterium is limited, making it hard to handle infected dogs in a proper way. The aim of this study was to investigate for how long time dogs, who have an infection caused by MRSP, become carriers of the bacterium. Other factors like treatment with antimicrobials, the correlation between clinical symptoms and carriage, common diagnoses and institutionalization where also looked upon.

Detta projekt har varit ett första försök för studenten att använda sig av tjänstedesign i ett verkligt projekt. Problemet har varit att i sjukvården idag finns stora problem med att bakterier och virus som vinterkräksjukan slår ut hela avdelningar som tvingas stänga till stora kostnader. Vinterkräksjukan a?r högst smittsamt och det räcker med att någon glömmer tvätta händerna ordentligt fo?r att det ska sprida sig på en avdelning.I detta arbete har tjänstedesign metodik använts för ta reda på varför det förekommer smitta på ortopedkliniken på Centralsjukhuset i Karlstad och vad som kan göras för att förbättra handhygienen och minska risken för smittspridning på ortopedkliniken.Observationer genomfördes på kliniken ur patienters, sjuksköterskors samt läkares perspektiv. Tjänstedesignmetoder som customer journeys och desktop walkthrough användes fo?r att visualisera patienters resor genom kliniken och skapa lösningar ihop med läkare och sjuksköterskor fo?r att skapa möjligheter till bättre handhygien.Resultatet blev ett koncept som ökar synligheten av de handspritstationer som finns samt ett förslag på hur dessa stationer ska placeras ut på kliniken fo?r att ge bästa lättillgänglighet för sjukhuspersonal, patienter och besökare.Namnet ?Att göra en Albin? myntades efter att en fältstudie genomförts på ortopedkliniken utav en av projektets kontaktpersoner pa? landstinget i Värmland.Litteraturstudier gjordes också på hur tjänstedesign använts i vårdutveckling, både nationellt och internationellt, och hur tjänstedesign kan bidra till en bättre vård.Uppdragsgivare har varit Tomas Edman på Innovationsslussen Vivan.Arbetet har gjorts i kursen Examensarbete för högskoleingenjörsexamen i Innovationsteknik och design (MSGC12) på Karlstads universitet.

Bakgrund: Årligen drabbas miljoner patienter världen över av vårdrelaterade infektioner, vilket representerar ett folkhälsoproblem och ett hotmot patientsäkerheten. Enligt WHO måste varje land därför vidta och fokusera på åtgärder som att förbättra hygienrutiner hos vårdpersonalen, för att minska andelen vårdrelaterade infektioner.Syfte: Att få insyn, förståelse och fördjupad kunskap i hur chefer på ett akutsjukhus i Stockholm arbetar för patientsäkerhet genom följsamhet till hand-, kläd-och hygienrutiner. Hur upplevsföljsamhet till hygienrutinerna vara, ses svårigheter, hur ser praxis för ansvar och uppföljning av följsamheten till hygienrutinernaut?Målet är att kunna ge förslag och inspiration till hur följsamhet till hygienrutiner kan optimeras på det sjukhus där studien utförts, även som inspiration till andra vårdgivare.Metod: 41 chefer på olika nivåer intervjuades. Kvalitativ forskningsansats valdes och manifest kvalitativ innehållsanalys användes som analysmetod.Resultat: Chefer upplever att följsamheten till hygienrutiner generellt är god, men kan skilja sig åt mellan yrkeskategorier.

According to modern theory, PR is seen as something that creates value for majority of products. The art market is a market that is characterized by several actors in different value chains, where transparency is low and art critics, or PR creators, have a certain amount of impact on the view of art, at least had so historically. But how does PR vs. art galleries´ own marketing (art brochure) affect the view and price consideration of art and artists for non-expert art spectators? After performing a large quantitative study, we can conclude that PR has negative to no affect on the view of art and the artist compared to the case when the spectator did not receive any information prior to viewing an art piece.

Introduktion: Vårdrelaterade infektioner (VRI) utgör ett omfattande problem. Omkring en tredjedel av alla VRI anges möjliga att förhindra och lösningen består i hygienrutiner. Undersökningar visade att följsamheten till dessa var långtifrån tillfredsställande. Syftet med denna litteraturstudie var att klargöra några tänkbara smittvägar och identifiera faktorer som påverkar sjuksköterskans följsamhet till hygienrutiner samt se effekter av försök att öka följsamheten. Metod: Resultaten baseras på 17 vetenskapliga artiklar.
