- PurposeThis paper aims to explore and develop knowledge about implementing and applying a quality management system (QMS) in the public sector.Design/methodology/approachA study was conducted including 16 qualitative in-depth interviews with 18 respondents, all working with QMSs in the Swedish public sector.FindingsThe study identified five main themes that are problematic in relation to the implementation of the statutory QMS in the public sector. The identified themes show that there exists a gap between theory and practice regarding how the statutory QMS needs to be implemented and applied.Practical implicationsBased on the analysis of the findings, the authors propose a model of core values and supporting elements for QMS in the public sector to bridge the gap between theory and practice.Originality/valueThe study identified problems when implementing statutory QMSs in the public sector and presents a model of improvement. Further research is needed regarding statutory QMS in the public sector.

- Aim: To describe and compare how occupational gaps were reported in everyday occupations in a rehabilitation group of people with musculoskeletal pain or stress-related ill health and in a reference group from the Swedish population.Method: Seventy-two persons with musculoskeletal pain or stress-related ill health and 261 people from the Swedish population were included. The Occupational Gaps Questionnaire, measuring to what extent individuals perceive a discrepancy between what they want to do and what they actually do, was completed by the participants. Descriptive statistics were used to analyse the data.Results: Occupational gaps were reported more often in the rehabilitation group. Leisure activities were the gaps reported most often. The occupational repertoire seemed to decrease over time as the number of activities was decreasing, particularly leisure and work-related activities. Instrumental ADL were more desirable as the length of sick leave extended.Conclusions: Being on sick leave appears to start a process towards occupational deprivation where the areas that remain in the occupational repertoire become more important. Our study highlights the need to emphasize the whole occupational repertoire in rehabilitation and to facilitate engagement in valued activities to create a sound base for the process of returning to work.

Crystal and magnetic structure of Mn3IrSi

- A new ternary Ir-Mn-Si phase with stoichiometry Mn3IrSi has been synthesized and found to crystallize in the cubic AlAu4-type structure, space group P213 with Z=4, which is an ordered form of the β-Mn structure. The unit cell dimension was determined by x-ray powder diffraction to a=6.4973(3)Å. In addition to the crystal structure, we have determined the magnetic structure and properties using superconducting quantum interference device magnetometry and Rietveld refinements of neutron powder diffraction data. A complex noncollinear magnetic structure is found, with magnetic moments of 2.97(4)μB at 10 K only on the Mn atoms. The crystal structure consists of a triangular network built up by Mn atoms, on which the moments are rotated 120° around the triangle axes. The magnetic unit cell is the same as the crystallographic and carries no net magnetic moment. The Néel temperature was determined to be 210 K. A first-principles study, based on density functional theory in a general noncollinear formulation, reproduces the experimental results with good agreement. The observed magnetic structure is argued to be the result of frustration of antiferromagnetic couplings by the triangular geometry.

- A new phase in the ternary Ir–Mn–Si system has been synthesised. From powder neutron diffraction data the crystal structure was determined to be of the AlAu4 type and to be described in the cubic space group P213 with the unit cell a=6.4973(3) Å. Susceptibility measurements using a SQUID-magnetometer showed a transition typical of antiferromagnetism, with TN=210 K. Low temperature antiferromagnetic order is confirmed by extra peaks in neutron diffractograms recorded at 10 and 80 K.

Cycloidal magnetic order in the compound IrMnSi

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- A new compound, IrMnSi, has been synthesized, and its crystal structure and magnetic properties have been investigated by means of neutron powder diffraction, magnetization measurements, and first-principles theory. The crystal structure is found to be of the TiNiSi type (ordered Co2P, space groupPnma). The Mn-projected electronic states are situated at the Fermi level, giving rise to metallic binding, whereas a certain degree of covalent character is observed for the chemical bond between the Ir and Si atoms. A cycloidal, i.e., noncollinear, magnetic structure was observed below 460 K, with the propagation vector q=[0,0,0.4530(5)] at 10 K. The magnetism is dominated by large moments on the Mn sites, 3.8μB∕atom from neutron diffraction. First-principles theory reproduces the propagation vector of the experimental magnetic structure as well as the angles between the Mn moments. The calculations further result in a magnetic moment of 3.2μB for the Mn atoms, whereas the Ir and Si moments are negligible, in agreement with observations. A calculation that more directly incorporates electron-electron interactions improves the agreement between the theoretical and experimental magnetic moments. A band mechanism is suggested to explain the observed magnetic order.

Magnetic properties of selected Mn-based transition metal compounds with β-Mn structure: Experiments and theory

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Two compounds, Mn3CoSi and Mn3CoGe have been synthesized and found to crystallize in the AlAu4 type structure, an ordered form of the β-Mn structure. The magnetic structure and properties have been studied by magnetometry and neutron powder diffraction and the theoretical work is based on first principles total energy calculations. Comparison is made with the magnetic properties of the isostructural compounds Mn3IrGe and Mn3IrSi. The solid solutions Mn3Ir1–yCoySi (0y1) and Mn3CoSi1–xGex (0x1) are also studied. A noncollinear antiferromagnetic structure is experimentally observed for y=0.20 as well as for x=0.50 and 1.0, similar to that of Mn3IrSi and Mn3IrGe, with 120° angles between magnetic moments on a triangular network of Mn atoms, and this finding is corroborated by theoretical calculations. For y=0.80–1.0 a transformation to a new type of magnetic structure takes place. The magnetic transition temperature decreases on decreasing unit cell dimension, with good qualitative agreement with the decay of the calculated interatomic exchange energy. Both theory and experiments find the magnitude of the Mn magnetic moment to decrease on decreasing unit cell volume, the same trend is found in calculations for β-Mn.

- The Structural and magnetic propertiesof a new ternary Ir-Mn-Ge phase, Mn3IrGe, as well as the solid solution Mn3Ir(Si1_xGex), O ordering is found below a critical temperature of about 225 K. The magnetic structure is noncollinear, as a result of frustrated magnetic interactions on a triangular network of Mn atoms, on which the moments rotate 120° around the triangle axes. The magnitude of the magnetic moment at 10 K is 3.39(4) µB for Mn3IrGe. The theoretical calculations reproduce with very good accuracy the magnitudes as well as the directions of the experimentally observed magnetic moments.
