Over the last few decades, the tendency toward entrepreneurship in nursing has increased due to social and economic factors. In South Africa, there are increased opportunities for nurses to develop their own businesses with the implementation of the National Health Insurance (NHI). To respond to the communities’ needs and implementation methods of the NHI, nurse specialists need to redefine their roles from purely hospital-based employees to business owners who work in the community and function as nurse entrepreneurs in different domains of care. In order to develop and nurture nursing entrepreneurship, a systemic approach is required that consists of enabling legal frameworks, socio-economic, professional and personal support, and educational preparation of nurses for this independent role. Higher education in general and nursing programmes specifically have not been focused or designed toward developing entrepreneurial competencies and mindsets toward self-employment. There is a need for the inclusion of entrepreneurship education in the postgraduate diploma in nursing at a specific university to improve nurse specialists’ interest in self-employment and promote positive attitudes toward entrepreneurship. The purpose of the project-based thesis was to develop an embedded entrepreneurship module for nursing students studying toward a speciality in clinical nursing in the postgraduate diploma in nursing offered by a nursing department at a specific university in South Africa. In order to achieve the purpose of the study, the following objectives were set: − Explore and describe the relevant content and education process to be included in an entrepreneurship module for clinical nurse specialists. − Develop and describe the education module in business practice and entrepreneurship for clinical nurse specialists. − Evaluate the education module and implement recommendations for improvement of the education module. A three-phase module design process was followed. Phase 1 entailed a literature review on entrepreneurship education and expert consultation. The information in phase 1 led to the development of a conceptual framework. A module map and design outline were created based on the conceptual framework and the guideline documents by the regulatory bodies and legislation, after which the module descriptor was designed. Phase 3 entailed the evaluation of the module with final corrections implemented.
In recent years, there has been a lot of talk about aviation emissions and the impact of reducing emissions, especially when it is estimated that flying will continue to grow. Globalization has increased business travelling, which is contradiction with climate objectives. However, the coronavirus epidemic of spring 2020 has forced many people to transfer work to the network and due to this almost completely stopped business travelling in certain industries, both domestically and abroad. The thesis investigated how the aviation industry and the government can influence the reduction of the consumer’s carbon footprint and how the consumer can influence the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions through his or her own choices. The thesis also investigated how the coronavirus epidemic has affected flying and working habits. The thesis contains a four-employee perspective on business travel and airplane emissions. Employees’ airplane emissions were calculated in the study, the results obtained using different calculators and the emissions were compared with the greenhouse gas emissions from remote meetings. Employees were asked about their remote work experiences during the coronavirus epidemic. The material of the thesis has been collected from various internet publications, such as theses, news and blog posts. The survey and inquiries were sent to four employees via email. ICAO, Finnair and SAS emission calculators were used to calculate carbon dioxide emissions. The results of the surveys showed that respondents believe that business traveling by air is declining due to the popularity of remote working, but they do not believe that remote work will completely replace business travelling by air. A physical meeting is considered more effective than a remote meeting. However, a remote meeting could reduce emissions from aviation by more than 95%.
Developing mobile applications can be challenging, especially with so many ways to build the application and different technologies existing. The objective of this thesis was to introduce one option for developing a full-stack cross-platform mobile application using React Native, Express, and MongoDB. The objective was achieved through a case study of an application that makes it possible for women to send their location information quickly via text messages to pre-saved phone numbers whenever they do not feel safe. This type of mobile application is especially significant in Finland because there do not exist any viable mobile apps regarding women’s safety that are available in Finnish. As a result, a first prototype of the application was created. The user can create credentials and use them to log in, save and delete contacts to and from the app, and send their location data through text messages to multiple contacts simultaneously. The functions worked as anticipated, and the used technologies can be an excellent choice for a modern mobile application. However, it is critical to assess what the requirements for the application being developed are and whether this particular solution is right for it.
Endometrios drabbar nästan en av tio kvinnor. Sjukdomen orsakar smärta och alla känner inte till den. Syftet med studien är att utveckla kunskapen om hur livssituationen för personer med endometriosrelaterad smärta är och hur det påverkar vardagen. Studiens resultat kan användas av vårdpersonal för att ge bättre vård och kunna sätta sig in i patienters livssituationer. Frågeställningen är: Vad är kvinnors upplevelser av endometriosrelaterad smärta på diskussionsforum?. Den teoretiska referensramen är Katie Erikssons teori om lidande och har varit grunden i arbetet. Sjukdomslidande, vårdlidande och livslidande orsakat av endometriosrelaterad smärta tas upp. Arbetet ingår i projektet Digitalt hälsobeteende som handlar om att människor söker upp sina problem på internet istället för att få professionell hjälp. Diskussionsforum och sociala medier kan bli en användbar plats för vårdpersonal att få information från men först behövs mera forskning i ämnet. Studien är gjord som en kvalitativ netnografisk studie där 47 inlägg och kommentarer från diskussionsforum har använts. Resultatet presenterades enligt olika återkommande kategorier av smärta, frågor, upplevelser och vård som beskrivs på diskussionsforumet. I varje kategori ges exempel. Studiens resultat visar att kvinnors upplevelser av endometriosrelaterad smärta är negativa. Smärtan påverkar vardagen, orsakar oro för framtiden och sjukfrånvaro. Kvinnor upplever ensamhet i sjukdomen och att de är begränsande av den.
