Bakgrund Forskning visar att utebliven omvårdnad är ett faktum på sjukhus i stora delar av världen. Detta medför en risk för vårdskador, onödigt lidande för patienter samt en ökad kostnad för samhället. Det kan även bidra till att sjuksköterskor upplever en sämre arbetsmiljö vilket kan leda till uppsägningar och brist på sjuksköterskor. Syfte Syftet är att beskriva faktorer som kan leda till utebliven omvårdnad på sjukhus. Metod Detta examensarbete är en strukturerad litteraturöversikt med inslag av den metodologi som används vid systematiska översikter. Femton vetenskapliga studier ligger till grund för resultatet och dessa har sökts fram från databaserna CINAHL och PubMed, studierna är publicerade mellan åren 2012 - 2022. Resultat Litteraturöversiktens resultat visar att såväl mänskliga/demografiska som organisatoriska faktorer bidrar till utebliven omvårdnad. Resultatet visar att otillräcklig bemanning, brist på materiella resurser, arbetsmiljöproblem och bristande kommunikation är faktorer som kan leda till utebliven omvårdnad. Förekomsten av utebliven omvårdnad har även visat sig variera beroende på personalens yrkeskategori. Slutsats Otillräcklig bemanning är den mest betydande faktorn i relation till utebliven omvårdnad under kategorin organisatoriska faktorer, brist på materiella resurser och negativa upplevelser av arbetsmiljön bidrar till fall av utebliven omvårdnad. Background Research shows that missed nursing care is a fact in hospitals in large parts of the world. This entails a risk of healthcare injuries and unnecessary suffering for patients as well as an increased cost to society. This can contribute to nurses experiencing a poorer working environment, which can lead to redundancies and a shortage of nurses. Aim The aim is to describe factors that can lead to missed nursing care in hospitals. Method This thesis is a structured literature review with elements of the methodology used in systematic reviews. Fifteen scientific articles are the basis for the results, and these have been retrieved from the database CINAHL and PubMed, the articles are published between the years 2012-2022 Results The results of this study show that both human/demographic and organizational factors that contributes to missed nursing care. The results show that insufficient staffing, lack of material resources, work environment problems and lack of communication are factors that can lead to missed nursing care. The incidence of missed nursing care has also been shown to vary depending on the occupational category of the staff. Conclusions Insufficient staffing is the most significant factor in relation to missed nursing care under the category of organizational factors, but also lack of material resources and a negative experience of the work environment contribute to cases of missed nursing care.

Photovoltaic solar power is an increasing source of energy and part of the renewable energy generation which is needed in the near future to achieve the set climate goals. When planning new photovoltaic installations, parameters which affect the design are both local conditions (e.g. weather) and system parameters such as tilt and azimuth angles. Commercial areas often have high loads during the day when solar power is available and are therefore interesting for photovoltaic installations. In order make a quick estimation of photovoltaic power potential in an area, a simulation tool which handles load profiles from multiple buildings would be desirable. The aim of this thesis project is therefore to create a tool which can simulate multiple photovoltaic systems and for each of them estimate system sizes, grid interactions, and area requirements. The simulation tool is based on Python programming with the aid of System Advisor Model, a simulation software for photovoltaic and other renewable energy tech-nologies. Optimization of orientation angles was made for clear sky with the goal of high load-generation match. Different system sizes were estimated and simulated based on different degrees of self-sufficiency, net-zero consumption, and the existing transfer capacity of the building in question. When the simulation result was compared to a detailed photovoltaic design project, some agreements between the results were found, as well as further development needs such as refining area estimation. To further develop the usability of the tool, a more user-friendly interface is needed. Other improvements could be to enable simulations of multiple direction systems and integration of the local grid structure and limitations.

A growing body of literature on the 2019 novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) is becoming available, but a synthesis of available data has not been conducted. We performed a scoping review of currently available clinical, epidemiological, laboratory, and chest imaging data related to the SARS-CoV-2 infection. We searched MEDLINE, Cochrane CENTRAL, EMBASE, Scopus and LILACS from 01 January 2019 to 24 February 2020. Study selection, data extraction and risk of bias assessment were performed by two independent reviewers. Qualitative synthesis and meta-analysis were conducted using the clinical and laboratory data, and random-effects models were applied to estimate pooled results. A total of 61 studies were included (59,254 patients). The most common disease-related symptoms were fever (82%, 95% confidence interval (CI) 56%–99%; n = 4410), cough (61%, 95% CI 39%–81%; n = 3985), muscle aches and/or fatigue (36%, 95% CI 18%–55%; n = 3778), dyspnea (26%, 95% CI 12%–41%; n = 3700), headache in 12% (95% CI 4%–23%, n = 3598 patients), sore throat in 10% (95% CI 5%–17%, n = 1387) and gastrointestinal symptoms in 9% (95% CI 3%–17%, n = 1744). Laboratory findings were described in a lower number of patients and revealed lymphopenia (0.93 × 109/L, 95% CI 0.83–1.03 × 109/L, n = 464) and abnormal C-reactive protein (33.72 mg/dL, 95% CI 21.54–45.91 mg/dL; n = 1637). Radiological findings varied, but mostly described ground-glass opacities and consolidation. Data on treatment options were limited. All-cause mortality was 0.3% (95% CI 0.0%–1.0%; n = 53,631). Epidemiological studies showed that mortality was higher in males and elderly patients. The majority of reported clinical symptoms and laboratory findings related to SARS-CoV-2 infection are non-specific. Clinical suspicion, accompanied by a relevant epidemiological history, should be followed by early imaging and virological assay.

Denna rapport sammanfattar några av de viktigaste lärdomarna och underbyggande analyserna från forskningsprojektet ”Ekonomiskt bärkraftiga stadsterminaler som möjliggörare för energieffektivare stadsdistribution” (Dnr 2017-003184). Projektet har finansierats av Energimyndigheten och pågått från 1 juli 2017 till 31 augusti 2020. Projektets övergripande syfte har varit att stödja en utvecklad användning av stadsterminaler genom att fokusera hur lönsamheten kan stärkas genom olika tjänsteerbjudanden. Utifrån detta syfte formades sex detaljerade mål: Identifiera Kunder/kundgrupper som är mest centrala i avseendet att generera intäkter till stadsterminalen. Ge förslag på olika tjänster som stadsterminalen kan erbjuda för att stärka sin ekonomiska bärkraftighet Klargöra de ekonomiska potentialerna i olika tjänster Ta fram verktyg och modeller som kan stödja utvecklandet av nya intäktsgenererande tjänster. Visa på tjänsternas koppling till valet av transportlösning och drivmedelsval Samt visa på vilken potential för energieffektivisering som stadsterminaler kan medföra. Inom ramen för projektet har vi bland annat visat på stora potentialer att öka både den ekonomiska bärkraftigheten och energieffektiviserings-potentialen för stadsterminaler. Detta genom att bland annat identifiera en rad tjänster som en stadsterminal kan erbjuda, men även potentiella kunder.

Urban consolidation centers (UCCs) are presumed to provide more efficient goods distribution in cities and lead to decreased environmental impact and energy usage. There is, however, limited knowledge as to the actual performance of UCCs, and what roles and perspectives the involved actors have in the performance measurement. The overall aim of this paper is to investigate the roles and perspectives of involved actors when estimating and evaluating the performance of UCCs. The article is based on a study of one case that evaluates the performance of a UCC involving several actors. Interviews were triangulated with documents from the case. The results showed that actors have different roles in performance measurements and even if they share a mutual interest in conducting the measurements, they did not share opinions regarding factors such as system limits or performance indicators. The study provides a deeper understanding of the importance of inter-organizational interaction when conducting performance measurements. The study provides additional insights into the roles of the actors and their perspectives in logistics performance measurement that targets energy usage and environmental impact. These aspects are seldom addressed in less complex estimations or mathematical modelling estimations.

Researchers and practitioners alike need support in the challenges to develop sustainable logistics, and one cannot afford to have a limited view of what constitutes sustainable logistics innovation (SLI). In order to inspire researchers and practitioners to expand their mindset when addressing sustainable logistics, the purpose of this paper is to develop a framework for classifying sustainable logistics innovations, and by classifying some SLIs evaluating the applicability of the framework. The study is based on a literature review within logistics innovation, sustainable innovation, and sustainable logistics innovation, resulting in a framework. It contains three areas: softness, extent of change and scope, which in turn contain nine dimensions. Interviews in three retailers acting in Sweden were conducted. SLIs were illustrated and classified in the framework. By moving outside how research so far has studied SLIs, examples of SLIs in logistics activities other than transport were identified, in forms aside from technological solutions, and in industries outside of logistics service providers. It was found that it was possible to classify SLIs in all dimensions, with some difficulties in extent of change in output, which also shows the applicability of the framework. Using the framework, SLIs can be understood in a more concrete and applicable way, which can inspire practitioners to develop and expand their efforts towards sustainable logistics. Therefore the study has implications for research, practice and society. Several suggestions for future research are presented.

Research on inter-organizational supply chain interaction (IOSCI) for sustainability can be described as fast-growing and fragmented. It is uncertain to what extent logistics and supply chain management (SCM) literature has been able to close research gaps regarding e.g., empirical scope and sustainability dimensions addressed. A systematic literature review (SLR) is carried out to synthesize the existing knowledge and ongoing trends, and to propose a research agenda. The trend analysis shows that the gap between the environmental and social dimension is increasing, that Asian studies grow nearly exponentially, and that the focal firm perspective gains more ground. The research agenda calls for participatory studies of multiple actors and for studies addressing, e.g., the invisible logistics service providers. This study provides an important complement to existing literature reviews on sustainable supply chain interaction, primarily by its focus on the development over time, the empirical scope, the focus on publications in logistics/SCM journals, and its narrow focus on the interaction among firms in supply chains.

Objective: The aim of this study was to assess information literacy performance of students doing their master thesis at 5th year the Medical Degree Programme, Lund University, Sweden. The study investigates if there is a difference in performance between library class participants and non-participants. Method: A case-control approach with rubrics assessment was used to assess students’ information literacy performance in 26 selected master theses. 13 theses were selected from class participant group, and 13 theses from the non-participant group in a blinded process. The rubrics were based on the formal assessment rubrics of the course. Rubrics related to information literacy learning objectives and class content was further developed with more detailed indicators. The Mann-Whitney U-test was used for statistical analysis. Result: The case group usually outperformed the control group, with a few exceptions (p=0,650). The use of original articles and presenting all references in the reference list was equal among the groups. In using adequate number of references, using sources relevant to aim, using evidence hierarchy, synthesizing references with results and using Vancouver style correctly the case group performed better. In using references for method description and using previous references in the discussion the control group performed better. Conclusion: Students need more support in selecting high quality references, using references to describe methods, the importance of referring to all sources and to use the Vancouver style correctly. The results of the study will be used to develop the library instructional classes further.

Denna rapport är en slutredovisning för det Vinnova finansierade utvecklingsprojektet ”Affärsmodell för logistiksystem för överskottslivsmedel - På väg mot en cirkulär ekonomi för matsvinn”. Projektet genomfördes från oktober 2017 till augusti 2018 i samarbete mellan Stockholms Stadsmission, Linköpings universitet och Bring Frigo. Syftet med detta projekt har varit att framta koncept och affärsmodell för ett nationellt logistiksystem för redistribution av funktionellt livsmedelssvinn. Utvecklingen har skett i nära dialog med systemets användare: sociala organisationer, livsmedelsbranschen och transportsektorn. En affärsmodell är en förutsättning för att möjliggöra långsiktig hållbarhet för en storskalig och effektiv lösning för överskottslivsmedel i Sverige. Vi vill rikta ett stort tack till alla de företag och organisationer som under projektets gång bidragit med input och feedback: Aon, Arla, Arvid Nordquist, Atria, Axfood, Bergendahls, Brave Business 2030, Coop, CSCMP, Elvenite, Findus, Food2Change, Frälsningsarmén, GS1, Hela Människan, Know IT, Kronfågel, Lantmännen, Länsförsäkringar, Lidl, Martin & Servera, Menigo, Polar Cape, PostNord, Räddningsmissionen, PwC, Svensk Dagligvaruhandel, Svenska Retursystem, Sveriges Stadsmissioner, Värmestugan Helsingborg och Unilever. Vidare vill vi tacka forskare och examensarbetare vid Linköpings Universitet som medverkat inom ramen för projektet och som bl.a. medverkat vid arbetsmöten, stöttat med kunskap kring uppbyggnad av affärsmodeller, samt hjälpt till i framtagande av olika former av information. Vi vill också tacka anställda inom Stockholms Stadsmission som har bidragit med information och kunskap om befintlig redistribution, kommunikations stöd, inputs på möten och workshops samt praktiskt hjälp i samband med dessa.

För att möta trender såsom ökad internationell konkurrens måste framtida transportsystem inte bara vara ekonomiskt utan även socialt och miljömässigt hållbara. CSR-arbetet måste lyftas till en affärsmässighet där hållbara transportsatsningar blir en integrerad del av affärsutvecklingen och stödjer näringslivets långsiktiga och hållbara konkurrenskraft. För detta krävs nytänkande och innovationskraft. Kunskapen kring hur CSR-arbete kan göras företagsekonomiskt intressant är starkt begränsad. Det saknas kunskap kring hur företagsekonomiskt intressanta tjänster och processer kan utformas som stödjer en utveckling mot satta transportpolitiska mål och miljömål, och som stöds av mätning och uppföljning. Fokus i detta projekt har legat på att identifiera, beskriva och analysera innovationer som kan medföra att transportrelaterat CSR-arbete ger effektivare verksamheter och/eller kundservice. Transportutövare och transportköpare (här handelsföretag) har fokuserats. Handelsföretag kan i sin roll som länk mellan kunder och producenter och med sin ofta starka förhandlingskraft påverka CSR-arbetet även utanför företagsgränserna. De stora potentialer som finns i gränssnitten mellan transportsystemets aktörer har därmed lyfts fram.
