Vad krävs för att ta sig ur ett missbruk av alkohol och droger?

Forskning har visat att det är flera faktorer som har betydelse när en person vill förändra sitt liv och avbryta ett missbruk av alkohol och droger, dels faktorer i personens omgivning dels hos individen själv. Syftet med denna studie var att finna de faktorer i privata livet eller behandling som får en person att vilja lämna ett missbruk av alkohol och droger, samt belysa hur en sådan process ser ut.Undersökningen baseras på tre intervjuer. Det insamlade materialet tolkades och jämfördes med tidigare forskning. Resultatet i studien visar att negativa konsekvenser tillsammans med att man som missbrukare har nått en personlig botten är viktiga faktorer för att komma till beslut och vilja lämna ett missbruk. Relationer, dvs. stödet från betydelsefulla personer i nätverket är en annan betydelsefull faktor för att kunna bryta upp från missbruket, samt att flytta från hemstaden och bryta med gamla vänner. Vidare har en inre förändring och ett nytt synsätt på livet varit betydelsefullt.

Den lilla kemifabriken : En studie för att undersöka om nyttan av skogsrester kan ökas i norra Sveriges inland

The background of this work is to suggest ways to take care of branches and tops of trees that today are left out in the north of Sweden after logging because it has to low value to be worth transporting. A solution to this is to place small chemical factories in the sparsely populated areas in the inland of Norrland that can take care of the forest residues and break it into valuable chemicals directly in the forest an then transport it to a market. The aim of this work was to find out if it´s a good idea to invest in these small chemical factories in the north of Sweden. This study has been carried out using literature study and interviews of key people. The largest part of the result comes from the interviews. The results of this study show that the small chemical factory is a good idea. Forest residues contains many valuable substances that should be greater used today. The results section of the report describes various factor that are crucial for the small chemical factory and these are: the products that can be produced, what technology that is suitable, if there is an market, who should be taking care of the factory and how the inland endurance will be affected. The conclusions that can be drawn from the study is that the small chemical factory should produce high-grade-sary chemicals directed at the chemical market. It may also be noted that there is existing technology that can be used in the factories, what has been done in the laboratories today can be implemented in the factory. The market will obviously depend on which product that will be produces, but finding a suitable market should not be impossible. The inland endurance will be positively impacted, among other things, the social endurance is enhances when these small chemical factories creates job opportunities in the inland and it can lead to decreasing the emigration.

Värdeflödesanalys och Data Envelopment Analysis : En fallstudie för att värdera effektiviteten hos ett logistikföretag

Companies face new challenges almost every day. In order to stay competitive, it is important that companies strive for continuous development and improvement. By describing companies through their processes it is possible to get a clear overview of the entire operation, which can contribute, to a well-established overall understanding of the company. This is a case study based on Stort AB which is a small logistics company specialized in international transportation and logistics solutions. The purpose of this study is to perform value stream mapping in order to create a more efficient production process and propose possible improvements in order to reduce processing time. After performing value stream mapping, data envelopment analysis is used to calculate how lean Stort AB is today and how lean the company can become by implementing the proposed improvements. The results show that the production process can improve efficiency by minimizing waste produced by a bad workplace layout and over-processing. The authors suggested solution is to introduce standardized processes and invest in technical instruments in order to automate the process to reduce process time. According to data envelopment analysis the business is 41 percent lean at present and may soon become 55 percent lean and finally reach an optimum 100 percent lean mode if the process is automated.
