- Management systems are widely used for creating order, minimising risks and for assuring performance. Management systems are in many occasions integrated since this has been found to be beneficial. In this paper a model for a fully integrated management system (IMS) based on the three axes of level, extent and scope of integration is tested for relevance. The studied system permits the integration of all relevant process dimensions. The research is only in a pilot stage, but the initial results are promising and indicate that there are advantages in using the process view as a base for identifying critical aspects to be managed. A review of the current situation for system integration is studied and the model is subjected to some tests using Sweden as a case. The background study shows that system integration still is limited, especially when comparing with a fully integrated IMS. The feedback from the organisations interviewed is positive and supports continued work with development of the model.

- Effective management in the globalized world requires an effective, efficient and flexible management system. Effective could be interpreted as addressing all relevant stakeholder concerns in a context of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). Efficient would mean that it does the job with low resource use. Flexibility requires that changed conditions and new requirements easily can be included. Many organizations are already working with Integrated Management Systems (IMS). Interesting questions are to what extent current integration covers the above mentioned needs and if not what changes are needed. This conceptual paper looks at the advantages and problems of integration. Possibilities for development of fully integrated management systems are studied from the perspective of managing stakeholder needs, with the forthcoming ISO 26000 – “Guidance on social responsibility”, as inspiration. Results show that there are advantages in integration, but that the scope and level of integration often is limited. A conceptual model for integrating all stakeholder needs in value networks is presented.

Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This longitudinal study focuses on the transition from higher education (HE) to worklife. Generally, the transition is considered to have become more complicated due to the changing conditions for work in a supercomplex society. More specifically, there is also still sparse knowledge about how students in PBL programmes cope with the transition process. Previous research on the topic has suggested that there is a need for more complex studies of the relationship between HE and work. The aim of the study is twofold, (i) to describe the way students experience their programme as seniors and later their work situation as novice workers, and (ii) if there are differences regarding these experiences in comparison between a PBL programme (psychology) and conventional progammes (mechanical engineering and political science). The transition from HE to worklife in the three programmes is analysed according to five dimensions; relation to space/areas of operation, identity/tracjectory, professional role characteristics, transition process and relationships between education and work. The results indicate that the PBL-programme is preparing for worklife in a rational way, both regarding generic skills and substantive knowledge. The conventional programmes stand out as preparing for worklife either by providing generic skills or by having a ritual character.

- Alloy 247LC is sensitive to cracking during laser beam powder bed fusion (PBF-LB) manufacturing. Post processing is thus required to close cracks and achieve desired properties. In this study, samples of Alloy 247LC were manufactured by PBF-LB and subsequently post processed by hot isostatic pressing (HIP), HIP + solution and ageing heat treatments. The microstructure was characterized. Results showed cracks in the as-built condition. Cracks were not detected after HIP. Bright microconstituents were observed in the region between the cells, mainly, because of the partitioning of Hf and Ta into the intercellular region, where they presumably form carbides. What is assumed to be oxides were prominent in the microstructure. Thermodynamic calculations showed rapid formation of ?’ precipitates in the alloy, due to the high total concentration of Al and Ta and this was linked to the high hardness values in the as-built condition. © 2019 MS&T19®

- The ESS Target Proton Beam Imaging Systems has the objective to image the 5 MW ESS proton beam as it entersthe spallation target. The imaging systems has to operate in a harsh radiation environment, leading to a number of challenges : development of radiation hard photon sources, long and aperture-restricted optical paths and fast electronics required to provide rapid information in case of beam anomalies. This paper outlines how main challenges of the imaging systems have been addressed, and the status of deployment as ESS gets closer to beam.

LEARNING AND QUALITY ASSURANCE IN THE SAME PACKAGE

- The critical need for organizations to learn and change is well known. “The ability to learn faster than your competitors is your only lasting competitive advantage” as put by a HR manager. Thus, knowledge is vital, both as a resource and a competitive advantage. The importance of life-long learning and distance education is clear, just as the role of higher education. The aim of this paper is to share academic experiences and lessons learnt concerning performing high quality assessment on-line and at the same time offering a learning opportunity for both teachers and students. This is a big challenge.We performed a case study in an on-going hybrid course. There were 10 students on the course, all professionals and employed and hence performing the course and working at the same time. We used the final course assessment as a case unit, which was performed as structured on-line dialogues between each student individual and the examiner. Data were collected by observations of three students performing and a deep follow-up interview with the examiner responsible. Each dialogue lasted about one hour. To be eligible to participate the student must have prepared a task based on two books and questions aiming to put the literature in comparison as well as in the context of their own employment. The examiner leads the dialogue based on graduate assessment criteria, developed by the examiner. The collected data were inductively analyzed.The analysis reveals advantages that oral individual assessments have concerning quality assurance and at the same time enable learning. The examiner has natural opportunities to ask follow-up questions to stimulate reflections and further learning. The examiner also has opportunities to ask questions that reveal the students’ knowledge and understanding related to the assessment criteria and the syllabus learning outcomes, which is a critical aspect not at least from the perspective of AI and chat-GPT. Since the dialogues are individual, the time perspective is a matter of fact that is often lift as an argument against this type of examination. According to the examiner, this is not a problem if you take all the steps in the examination process into consideration. The total time is more or less equal compared to traditional written examinations. Furthermore, the examiner emphasizes that this form of examination is much more fun.To achieve both quality assessment assurance and learning, the analysis also reveals the importance of a holistic approach, as for example putting the matter of course in the students´ reality as well as the critical interface between the task and the assessment dialogue. It also strengthens the importance of preparing for both the examiner and the student and emphasizes the importance of having a system for continuous follow-up and improvements. Finally, the follow-up interview with the examiner reveals the learning it means by having someone externally observing the performance and then asking relevant questions and having a dialogue afterwards. “It forced me to think and reflect on the work from new perspectives, which is critical for future improvements” as put by the examiner. One piece of advice from the examiner is to include this type of work in the quality assurance system for course development. To reflect on the work was an important input to further increase and develop the course.

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- The low completion rate and slow progress in PhD education have been highlighted in many studies. However, the interaction problems and communication gaps that PhD students encounter make this attempt even more challenging. The aim of this study is to investigate the peer interaction problems and ICT based solutions from PhD students’ perspectives. The data collection method was an online questionnaire and in-depth interviews were used to follow up. The target group for the survey was the PhD students in Computer Science at Stockholm University. The total number of respondents for the survey was 53 PhD students and eleven randomly selected PhD students for the interviews. The results reflected a lack of peer interaction as an important issue in the perspective of the students. Based on this, the study showed several ICT solutions that have the potential to reduce the interaction problems and thereby improve PhD students’ collaborative learning and research quality.
