Mobila informationssystem ställer höga krav på användarkontext då det kontinuerligt förändrar sig och därmed även styr systemets användarkrav. Dessa krav sätts under ytterligare press då det mobila informationssystemet tillämpas inom mobila verksamheter vars arbetsuppgifter är av kritisk karaktär, till exempel inom kårverksamheter. För att realisera en lyckad tillämpning av mobila informationssystem inom mobila verksamheter vars arbete är av kritisk karaktär är det viktigt att undersöka vilka kritiska faktorer som ska ligga till grund för systemet med avseende på dess användbarhet. En orsak till varför en sådan undersökning är viktig är på grund av att mobila informationssystem ofta designas efter stationära principer och designriktlinjer vilket är olyckligt då användarkraven skiljer sig markant mellan mobila och stationära system. För att ta reda på dessa kritiska användarkrav har en enkätundersökning genomförts inom den kommunala räddningstjänsten i Skövde.

According to statistics, a significant increase in sickness has occurred in the public sector in recent decades in Sweden.

Proliferative enteropathy (PE) caused by Lawsonia intracellularis has been reported in horses in the USA, Canada, Australia and Great Britain. Diarrhoea caused by Brachyspira antigen-containing spirochaetes has been diagnosed in a horse in Japan. The presence of Lawsonia intracellularis or Brachyspira spp. have neither been investigated in healthy nor in sick horses in Sweden. The purpose of this study was to survey the occurrence of the two bacteria in Swedish horses. Faecal samples were gathered from 108 foals without any clinical signs of illness in the age of four to eight months.

Sickness absence is a measure of health and is therefore an important issue. To get a complete picture it´s important to also include in the discussion sickness presenteeism, working while ill, and voluntary absence, staying at home without illness. Working conditions have been proven to play a role for the three aspects which is why this study aims to further investigate the connections between them. The method used was secondary processing on interview data collected from two home care teams, one having a low and the other a high sickness absence. The results showed that there were big differences concerning working conditions, where the group with the high sickness absence perceived more stress, less control and less support from colleagues and superiors.

Denna rapport är resultatet av examensarbetet som utförts i samarbete med Swedavia Swedish airports och Luleå tekniska universitet. Bakgrund och målsättning Flygplatsen strävar efter att automatisera arbetsmoment som innehar arbetsmiljöproblem samt kräver resurser. Idag finns väl utbyggda automatiska sorteringsanläggningar för bagage vilka har krav på dimensioner och vikt. Bagage som inte klarar dessa krav klassas som specialbagage och kräver extra manuell hantering både vid inlämning samt i sorteringsskedet. Bedömning av vilka bagage som är specialbagage görs subjektivt av personal.

Syftet med studien var att genom intervjuer med personal inom socialpsykiatrin ta reda på deras upplevelser av stigmatiseringstendenser och mediabild i relation till personer med psykisk ohälsa och till sig själva som yrkespersoner. Tidigare forskning visar på stigmatisering, diskriminering och mediapåverkan i samband med psykisk ohälsa. En meningskategorisering av insamlat intervjumaterial fann mönster i intervjuerna beträffande individsyn, stigmatiseringsuttryck, mediapåverkan samt generell okunskap om psykisk ohälsa. Resultatet bekräftar tidigare studier om okunskap och mediapåverkan samt motsäger delvis tidigare forskning gällande diskriminering av psykiatripersonal. Resultatet visar även hur personalen inom socialpsykiatrin upplever att stigmatiseringen kan minskas utifrån ökad kunskap om psykisk ohälsa och medvetenhet om varje människas värde..

The Intensive Care Unit (ICU) is a special unit for patients who is in the need for emergency life-sustaining measures and every patient has complex medical- technical equipment. The experiences of a critical illness and the needs of critical care are experienced in different ways. The purpose of this study was to describe the experiences from patients in the ICU and how this experience has an influence on the patients. The method was a study of literature with a qualitative inception based on eight scientific articles and the analysis of content has been inspired by Graneheim and Lundman (2003). The result of the study is presented by four categories: to loose the ability to make themselves understood, to be forced to adjust to the environment of caring, to have the lack of connection with reality and to be in an intensive care environment, The results showed that patients in the ICU are affected by the attitude from the staff, the equipment around them as well as the sounds and lights in the environment there.
