- 2008
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Denna rapport är en sammanfattning och en analys av kunskaperna vunna ur de aktiviteter som genomfördes inom Nationella träbyggnadsstrategins fortbildningsprogram mellan 2006 - 2008. Kunskaper och resultat har även vävts in från flera FoU program, riktat att stötta träbyggandet, som utfördes parallellt med Nationella träbyggnadsstrategin.Fortbildningsprogrammet var ett samverkansprojekt mellan: Luleå tekniska universitet, Växjö universitet, Högskolan Dalarna och SP Trätek.Rapportens olika delar är författad av skilda författare från samverkansparterna. I rapporten beskrivs:Den byggteknik- och kompetensutveckling som har skett inom träbyggandet.• I dag finns det tre typer av träbyggnadssystem (pelar-balk system, skivsystem av massivträ och regelsystem) som kan kombineras i tre olika byggmetoder (platsbygge, prefabricerade ytelement och prefabricerade volymer).• Under programmets gång genomfördes seminarier och kunskapsfördjupande workshops till uppskattningsvis 750 personer som representerade beställare/förvaltare, arkitekter, byggkonsulter och byggentreprenörer. Förutom de 15 byggprojekten som djupdokumenterats (se kapitel 3) så är bedömningen att ett tio-tal träbyggprojekt initierades som en följd av aktiviteterna inom fortbildningsprogrammet.Man kan också konstatera att fortbildningsprogrammet stöttade den pågående bildningen av starka akademiska miljöer med fokus på träbyggande.Systembeskrivningar av träbyggprojekt med fokus på de byggobjekten som uppfördes i Växjö, Falun och Skellefteå.• Detaljerade redogörelser beskriver: Planering, projektering och upphandling, byggnadsutformning, lösningar för brand, akustik och stabilisering. Detaljer för konstruktionselement (väggar och bjälklag) och erfarenheter från montage och logistik och förslag på förbättringsåtgärder.Vetenskapliga systembeskrivningar av industriellt träbyggande.• En karakterisering presenteras av byggsystemen (tekniken).• En beskrivning och analys av den industriella flerbostadsbranschens framväxt och potential samt dess lönsamhet.• Analyser av aktörsroller, affärsmodeller och definitionen av industriellt byggande (processen för industriellt byggande).Rapporten avslutas med en vägledning till byggandets aktörer: kommuner, arkitekter, leverantörer/entreprenörer.

Residents' Perceptions of Quality in Supported Housing for People with Psychiatric Disabilities
- 2019
-
Ingår i: Issues in Mental Health Nursing. - : Taylor & Francis. - 0161-2840 .- 1096-4673. ; 40:8, s. 697-705
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The residents' perspective of the quality of housing support for people with psychiatric disabilities living in congregate supported housing has been studied and a comparison has been made with the findings from those from a previous study in ordinary housing with outreach support. One-hundred and seventy-eight residents from 27 supported housing facilities in eight Swedish municipalities completed the Quality of Psychiatric Care-Housing (QPC-H) instrument. The highest quality ratings were found for: Secluded Environment, Encounter and Support, while Participation, Housing Specific and Secure Environment were rated at lower levels. Despite relatively high ratings, a majority of items did not attain the 80% cutoff point deemed as defining satisfactory quality of service. The residents in ordinary housing with outreach support rated higher levels for the majority of the QPC-H dimensions in comparison with those in supported housing. A conclusion is that the quality of care in supported housing facilities has a number of deficiencies that need to be addressed. Supported housing is generally rated as having a lower quality of care than in ordinary housing with outreach support. Suggestions for the content of staff training are made based on the results.

Distribution Channel Structure and Integration : Contingency variables in the sawmill industry
- 2010
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Purpose; The purpose of this paper is to identify and characterize structures and integration levels of distribution channels in the sawmill industry, as well as to discuss these characteristics and their association with different contingency variables.Design / methodology / approach; Multiple case studyFindings: There is a variety of distribution channel structures and levels of integration in the sawmill industry: one extreme is small, one-unit firms delivering ex-works to export agents with unintegrated distribution channel processes and the other extreme is large, multi-unit firms with network flow structures delivering from their own stock on a market to clients with integrated distribution channel processes By studying these contingency variables, a pattern of sawmill categories emerges; the first category, in which production is focused, are the small single sawmills (with a cost leadership or focus strategy) which aim to deliver their products to independent actors ex-works; the sawmills which comply to this category do not consider logistics or IT as important, neither do they take integration into consideration. The second category consists of larger multi-unit sawmills with a downstream focus, which strive to integrate and control the distribution channel (in the most extreme cases acquire strategic actors) in order to achieve stable presence on strategic markets. Sawmills included in this category regard logistics and IT as important.Research limitations / implications;This research is an exploratory pre-study based on five case studies implicating a limited possibility to draw general conclusions.Practical implications:This paper illustrates situations in which the distribution channel requires to be focused to higher degree which is important for strategic decisions for the actors in the industry.What is original/value of paper:This paper illustrates the variety of channel structures and integration levels within a single industry, and connects the variation with a number of contingency variables.

Erfarenheter av logistik- och montageprocessen vid byggandet av höga flerbostadshus med trästomme : Del 2 : Faktorer som påverkat tidseffektiviteten vid projekt Limologen, Växjö 2007
- 2008
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Föreliggande rapport är den andra av tre avrapporteringar kring erfarenheter av att bygga höga flerbostadshus med trästomme. Forskningsprojektet har sin empiriska bas i Midroc´s bygge av fyra åttavåningars hus för bostadsrätter vid Trummens strand i Växjö.Data samlades in under 2007 och analys och diskussion är gjord på detta material. De problem och förbättringsbehov som identifierats hänför sig alltså till det system som användes under 2007 och som i huvudsak kommer att användas för de efterföljande byggnaderna i kvarteret Limnologen. Erfarenheterna som gjorts under byggtiden har lett till att leverantören för kommande byggprojekt vidareutvecklat byggsystemet främst avseende en högre prefabriceringsnivå och ett effektivare och flexiblare system för väderskydd och traverslyft.Projektet är en del av insatser från Nationella Träbyggstrategin och Centrum för Byggande och Boende med Trä (CBBT) för att öka kunskapen om modernt stort träbyggande.Projektet har finansierats av Nationella Träbyggstrategin, CBBT, Växjö universitet och SP Trätek.

- 2010
-
Ingår i: Presented at SSFE 2010.
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Purpose; The purpose of this study is to identify distribution channel research needs given the variety of distribution channel challenges among Swedish sawmill companies.Design / methodology / approach; Explorative case study researchFindings: The paper proposes a typology of sawmill distribution channel challenges, as well as aligns research needs with distribution channel type. The typology is based on i) number of sawmill units within the firm, in combination with ii) distribution channel heterogeneity. Significant management decisions and research needs are identified for the different types.Research limitations / implications; This research makes tentative statements regarding typology of sawmill distribution channel challenges and potential research needs in the Swedish sawmill industry with regards to the respective typology. However, further research is needed in order to validate these results.What is original/value of paper: This paper focus on the sawmill industry distribution channels, which is a neglected but important area for sawmill’s competitive advantage. The paper also contributes to research by applying contingency theory and typology as an approach to deal with the variety of sawmills distribution channel challenges.Keywords; Typology, distribution channel challenges, research needs, and Swedish sawmill industry

Managing timber procurement in Nordic purchasing sawmills
- 2006
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Procurement of sawlogs to purchasing sawmills represents a basic strategic business process. The properties of inbound sawlogs are decisive for the output of sawn products and the cost of raw material contributes substantially to the cost of the final product. Increasing customer orientation and new demands from powerful customers in the building and retail sectors entail new or accentuated demands on management of procurement. Managing raw material procurement and communicating needs to suppliers and logging machine operators are vital issues for sawmills in order to be competitive.The purpose of the thesis is to explore how purchasing sawmills manage procurement of sawlogs. The results are based on 46 in-depth interviews with people involved in the procurement process at seven softwood sawmills in Denmark, Finland and Sweden. The thesis identifies various types of supply uncertainties as well as process improvement and buffer activities that reduce uncertainties. However, the major obstacle in the procurement process is the power/dependence balance in the relationships with suppliers. Beyond doubt, it restricts the manageability of procurement and particularly bucking. The results suggest that there are a number of ways to improve management of procurement, which are currently not fully employed. The thesis provides four key strategic dimensions of the procurement process and suggests a general conceptual model of wood procurement to purchasing sawmills.Further research within the subject can usefully explore the link between procurement management and procurement strategy as well as the relation to other functions' strategies and the corporate strategy. The importance of the identified strategic dimensions of the procurement process needs to be quantified in order to provide normative suggestions.

Influence of mental health service provision on the perceived quality of life among psychiatric outpatients : associations and mediating factors
- 2024
-
Ingår i: Frontiers in Psychiatry. - : Frontiers Media S.A.. - 1664-0640. ; 14

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Objective To investigate the relationship between perceived mental health service provision and quality of life (QoL) as perceived by patients in psychiatric outpatient care.Methods A total of 373 adult patients registered at 15 psychiatric outpatient clinics in three regions in central and southern Sweden were included in the study. Survey data were collected using a questionnaire on mental health service provision, symptom severity, recovery, clinical diagnosis, sociodemographics (serving as independent variables) and QoL (serving as the dependent variable). Three aspects of mental health service provision were used: patients' perceived quality of care, perceived staff-patient interaction, and patient reported psychiatric treatments. Structural equation modelling was used to model the relationship among the variables.Results Variables in mental health service provision showed few direct associations with patients' perceived QoL. Instead, the associations of mental health service provision on QoL were mainly mediated through symptom severity and recovery. These relationships were retained after adjusting for sociodemographic variables and clinical diagnoses. The final model achieved excellent goodness of fit (chi 2 = 49.502, p = 0.230, RMSEA = 0.020, CFI = 0.997 and a SRMR = 0.024).Conclusion This study shows that mental health service provision is associated with patients' perceived QoL; however, this association is mostly indirect and mediated by reduced symptom severity and increased recovery. This finding can help inform the design of future interventions to enhance service provision to improve patients' QoL.

Measuring quality in community based housing support : the QPC-H instrument
- 2016
-
Ingår i: International Journal of Health Care Quality Assurance. - : Emerald Group Publishing Limited. - 0952-6862 .- 1758-6542. ; 29:3, s. 267-275

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to test the psychometric properties and dimensionality of the instrument Quality in Psychiatric Care-Housing (QPC-H) and briefly describe the residents’ perception of quality of housing support. Design/methodology/approach – A sample of 174 residents from 22 housing support services in nine Swedish municipalities participated in the study. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) revealed that the QPC-H consisted of six dimensions and had a factor structure largely corresponding to that found among other instruments in the Quality in Psychiatric Care (QPC) family of instruments. Findings – CFA revealed that the QPC-H consisted of six dimensions and had a factor structure largely corresponding to that found among other instruments in the QPC family of instruments. The internal consistency of the factors was acceptable except in the case of secure and secluded environment, probably due to few numbers of items. With this exception, the QPC-H shows adequate psychometric properties. Social implications – The residents’ ratings of quality of housing service were generally high; the highest rating was for secluded environment and the lowest for participation. This dimension would thus seem to indicate an important area for improvement. Originality/value – The QPC-H includes important aspects of residents’ assessment of quality of housing service and offers a simple and inexpensive way to evaluate housing support services from the residents’ perspective. © 2016, © Emerald Group Publishing Limited.
