Årsrapport för FN2 läsåret 2011 2(7)

1 Sammanfattning.

Vi har samlat nyckeltal och beskrivit kursutbudet inom institutionerna Kemiska institutionen, Kemiteknik, Livsmedelsteknik och Immunteknologi. Inom forskningsnämndens område har vi ca 150 doktorander och omsättningen är 27 studenter per år. I analysen av nyckeltalen finner vi att antalet doktorander per handledare varierar mellan 1-13. Den övre nivån (>6) finns bland några få handledare. Detta möjliggörs genom lokala arrangemang med medhandledare etc. Institutionerna bedömer överlag kursutbudet som tillräckligt. Livsmedelsteknik avser att gå igenom sin kursstrategi. Från forskningsnämndens sida ser vi det som viktigt att vi fortsätter att arbeta med utvecklingen av lärandemiljöerna avseende kurssystemen. ”Life science” programmet har en viktig roll för kursutbudet inom området. Internationaliseringen bedöms också av institutionerna som ett viktigt utvecklingsområde. Det finns problem med nollaktiva doktorander. Men detta är främst kopplat till industridoktorander och att de förutsättningar de studerar under inte alltid av olika skäl inte är fullt ut förutsägbara och att vårt administrativa system att avveckla dessa aktiviteter inte är helt effektivt. Vi tror inte att nollaktiva studenter återspeglar avgörande missförhållanden. Institutionerna redovisar ett aktivt program för att vidareutveckla doktorandutbildningen, med bland annat:

Utvecklingsprojekten för framtagandet av ett program för kvalitetssäkring av forskarutbildningen. Detta innefattar antagning, uppdatering av planering, planering av karriär efter disputation och konflikthantering. (Kemiska institutionen).

Aktivt arbete kring pedagogik och pedagogiska utmaningar för

forskarutbildningskurser (Immunteknologi).

Effektiviserat modell för hantering av de individuella studieplanerna (Kemiteknik).

Våra slutsatser för fakultetens arbete är:

Fakulteten bör begränsa mycket omfattande handledningsåtaganden. Någon form av deklaration om hur det arrangeras etc. bör initieras.

Det är viktigt att fakulteten tar ansvar för det gemensamma

kursutbudet. Kursdatabasen behöver tas i drift.


Fortsatt stöd för kursprogrammet ”Life Science” är viktigt för kursutbudet för doktorander inom FN2.

5.3 Läskurser för enstaka studenter

Finns i flertalet ämnen- beteckningar varierar beroende på de individuella studenternas behov.

5.4 Institutionens/forskningsnämndens analys av utbudet samt en beskrivning av hur kursutvärderingar sker.

Institutionerna betecknar generellt utbudet som gott. Institutionen för livsmedelsteknik ser ett behov att stärka profilen även om där också finns ett nationellt program som inte kommit med i enkätsvaren (LIFT). Många kurser inom FN2 område ges av ”Life science programmet” som har stor betydelse för att tillfredsställa behoven av kurser. Dessa utvärderas samtliga systematiskt. Kurser inom grundprogrammet utvärderas också. Immunteknologi har genomfört särskild utvärdering av KIM001F med en CEQ liknande modell. Kemiska institutionen använder regelmässigt anonym förenklad skriftlig kursutvärdering. Kemiteknik använder också enkätmodeller. Livsmedelsteknik har främst kurser på avancerad nivå i grundutbildningen och utvärderingen sker då med CEQ. En sak som materialet inte tillåter analys av är tillgänglighet av kurser i tillräcklig omfattning på engelska för internationella studenter.

6 Internationalisering Här redovisar institutionerna omfattningen av doktorandernas internationalisering.

Internationaliseringsnivån bedöms som god. Inom FN2 har vi ett stort antal doktorander i form av ”sandwich modellen” som tillbringar halva sin studietid vid sitt hemuniversitet och halva sin studietid här. Vi har också flera internationella program där studenterna får tillgång till kurser vid utländska lärosäten som bidrar till internationaliseringen.

Immunteknologi har en ambition att aktivt öka internationaliseringsgraden.

7 Introduktion av nyantagna

Kemiska institutionen har kurskrav (antingen LTHs kurs eller den egna introduktionskursen), en säkerhetskurs och en kurs i forskningsetik. Institutionerna för kemiteknik, immunteknologi och livsmedelsteknik


använder checklistor och Kemiska respektive LTHs introduktionskurser. Immunteknologi har också ett skriftligt material (pärm) som man tillhandahåller. Alla institutionerna har egna introduktionsprogram avseende arbetsmiljöfrågor. Introduktion tillhandahålles på engelska för internationella studenter, men den skriftliga dokumentationen kan vara ofullständig respektive föråldrad på engelska.

8 Utvecklingssamtal/individuella studieplaner Alla institutionerna inom FN2 arbetar aktivt med individuella studieplaner. Kemiska institutionen har ämnesföreträdare med vid studieplanesamtalen. Kemiteknik har modifierat den allmänna modellen till en förenklad modell med diskreta steg som beskriver progressionen.

9 Lärandemiljöer, resurser och stöd till doktorander Samtliga doktorander vid FN2 institutioner har tillgång till kontorsarbetsplats, labplats och relevant infrastruktur. Institutionen för kemiteknik har delvis uppmärksammat behoven av karriärservice.

10 Institutionens/forskningsnämndens analys I analysen av nyckeltalen finner vi att antalet doktorander per handledare varierar alltför mycket. Detta möjliggörs genom lokala arrangemang med medhandledare etc. Institutionerna bedömer överlag kursutbudet som tillräckligt. Immunteknologi framhåller att en bättre utannonsering skulle öka tillgängligheten. Kemiteknik skulle önska fler kurser men pekar på det outvecklade finansieringssystemet för doktorandkurser som en hemsko. Livsmedelsteknik avser att gå igenom sin kursstrategi. Från forskningsnämndens sida ser vi det som viktigt att vi fortsätter att arbeta med utvecklingen av lärandemiljöerna avseende kurssystemen. Det är viktigt att vi också fullföljer stödet till Life science programmet. Internationaliseringen bedöms också av institutionerna som ett viktigt utvecklingsområde. Det finns problem med nollaktiva doktorander. Men detta är främst kopplat till industridoktorander och att de förutsättningar de studerar under inte alltid av olika skäl inte är fullt ut förutsägbara och att vårt administrativa


system att avveckla dessa aktiviteter inte är helt effektivt. Vi tror inte att nollaktiva studenter återspeglar avgörande missförhållanden.

11 Forskningsnämndens analys av doktorandenkät (Januari 2011)

Här redovisas forskningsnämndens analys utifrån genomförd doktorandenkät från januari 2011.

12 Utvecklingsplan

12.1 Arbete på institutionsnivå Institutionen för Kemi Har en arbetsgrupp för forskarutbildningsfrågor. Ett av utvecklingsprojekten är framtagandet av ett program för kvalitetssäkring av forskarutbildningen. Detta innefattar antagning, uppdatering av planering, planering av karriär efter disputation och konflikthantering. Översättning av för doktorander viktiga dokument till engelska. Immunteknologi Arbetar med pedagogik kring forskarutbildningskurser. Kemiteknik Implementerar det nya systemet för individuella studieplaner. Livsmedelsteknik Avser att skapa doktorandkurser.

12.2 Arbete på forskningsnämndsnivå Nämnden skall fortsätta att arbeta med samordningen av kursutbudet.


12.3 Arbete på LTH-nivå Fakulteten bör begränsa mycket omfattande handledningsåtaganden. Någon form av deklaration om hur det arrangeras etc. bör initieras. Det är viktigt att fakulteten tar ansvar för det gemensamma kursutbudet. Kursdatabasen behöver tas i drift. Ett bättre stöd för de individuella studieplanerna är viktigt. Detta skulle också kunna underlätta sammanställningen av årsrapporterna. Fortsatt stöd för kursprogrammet ”Life Science” är viktigt för kursutbudet för doktorander inom FN2.

This Privacy Policy provides our policies and procedures for collecting, using, and disclosing your information. Users can access the Dropbox service (the “Service”) through our website www.dropbox.com, applications on Devices, through APIs, and through third-parties. A “Device” is any computer used to access the Dropbox Service, including without limitation a desktop, laptop, mobile phone, tablet, or other consumer electronic device. This Privacy Policy governs your access of the Dropbox Service, regardless of how you access it, and by using our Services you consent to the collection, transfer, processing, storage, disclosure and other uses described in this Privacy Policy. All of the different forms of data, content, and information described below are collectively referred to as “information.”

1. The Information We Collect And Store

We may collect and store the following information when running the Dropbox Service:

Information You Provide. When you register an account, we collect some personal information, such as your name, phone number, credit card or other billing information, email address and home and business postal addresses. You may also ask us to import your contacts by giving us access to your third party services (for example, your email account) or to use your social networking information if you give us access to your account on social network connection services. When you invite others to join Dropbox by using our referral page, we send them a one-time email for that referral. You may also provide us with your contacts’ email addresses when sharing folders or files with them. We may also receive Personal Information (for example, your email address) through other users, for example if they have tried to share something with you or tried to refer Dropbox to you.

Files. We collect and store the files you upload, download, or access with the Dropbox Service (“Files”). If you add a file to your Dropbox that has been previously uploaded by you or another user, we may associate all or a portion of the previous file with your account rather than storing a duplicate.

Log Data. When you use the Service, we automatically record information from your Device, its software, and your activity using the Services. This may include the Device’s Internet Protocol (“IP”) address, browser type, the web page visited before you came to our website, information you search for on our website, locale preferences, identification numbers associated with your Devices, your mobile carrier, date and time stamps associated with transactions, system configuration information, metadata concerning your Files, and other interactions with the Service.

Cookies. We also use “cookies” to collect information and improve our Services. A cookie is a small data file that we transfer to your Device. We may use “persistent cookies” to save your registration ID and login password for future logins to the Service. We may use “session ID cookies” to enable certain features of the Service, to better understand how you interact with the Service and to monitor aggregate usage and web traffic routing on the Service. You can instruct your browser, by changing its options, to stop accepting cookies or to prompt you

before accepting a cookie from the websites you visit. If you do not accept cookies, however, you may not be able to use all aspects of the Service.

These third parties may have access to your information only for purposes of performing these tasks on our behalf and under obligations similar to those in this Privacy Policy. As of the date this policy went into effect, we use Amazon’s S3 storage service to store some of your information (for example, your Files). You can find more information on Amazon's data security from the S3 site or, read more about how Dropbox and Amazon securely store data.

Third-Party Applications. We may share your information with a third party application with your consent, for example when you choose to access our Services through such an application. We are not responsible for what those parties do with your information, so you should make sure you trust the application and that it has a privacy policy acceptable to you.

Compliance with Laws and Law Enforcement Requests; Protection of Dropbox's Rights. We may disclose to parties outside Dropbox files stored in your Dropbox and information about you that we collect when we have a good faith belief that disclosure is reasonably necessary to (a) comply with a law, regulation or compulsory legal request; (b) protect the safety of any person from death or serious bodily injury; (c) prevent fraud or abuse of Dropbox or its users; or (d) to protect Dropbox’s property rights. If we provide your Dropbox files to a law enforcement agency as set forth above, we will remove Dropbox’s encryption from the files before providing them to law enforcement. However, Dropbox will not be able to decrypt any files that you encrypted prior to storing them on Dropbox.

If you are using the Services on behalf of an organization, you are agreeing to these Terms for that organization and promising to Box that you have the authority to bind that organization to these Terms (in which event, "you" and "your" will refer to that organization) unless that organization has a separate paid contract in effect with us, in which event the terms of that contract will govern your use of the Service. You may use the Services only in compliance with these Terms and only if you have the power to form a contract with Box and are not barred under any applicable laws from doing so. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS, YOU MUST NOT USE THE SERVICE. Should you have any questions concerning this Agreement, please contact [email protected].

If payment is not received by Box on the due date, user's account will be frozen, inaccessible, and all shared links will be turned off until all outstanding payments have been processed by Box. Users retain the responsibility for settling all outstanding balances in a timely manner and maintaining updated billing information. If not complied with, at the end of 90 days, user's account will be deactivated and all files will no longer be retrievable.

Unless we notify you otherwise, if you're participating in any trial period offer, you must cancel the Service by the end of the trial period to avoid incurring new charges. If you do not cancel your Service and we have told you the Service will convert to a paid subscription at the end of the trial period, you authorize us to charge your payment method for the Service.

Except as specifically set forth in this section, all Services are prepaid for the period selected (monthly, yearly or otherwise) and are non-refundable. This includes accounts that are renewed.

If you are currently on our free 14-day trial, you may cancel or downgrade your account, free of charge, at any time until fourteen (14) days after your account was created. (The day of creation constitutes the first day of the 14-day trial.)

If you are a non-trial user (such as a Personal, Business, Enterprise, or legacy plans such as Individual, Pro, Premium and Plus) you will not be issued a refund for your most recent (or any previous) billing, unless you are a NON-TRIAL annual subscriber, in which event you may obtain a refund for a renewal fee only if you do so within 30 days of the day on which you were charged for the renewal of your account; in such an event, only a partial refund equivalent to 80% of the annual renewal fee will be returned. All cancellations and downgrades are processed automatically. To cancel or downgrade, please log into the administrative screen for your account and click the link that says "Click here to cancel your account" and follow the instructions.

Except as prohibited by law, we may assess a late charge if you do not pay on time. You must pay these late charges when we bill you for them. The late charge will be the lesser of 1 percent of the unpaid amount each month or the maximum rate permitted by law. We may use a third party to collect past due amounts. You must pay for all reasonable costs we incur to collect any past due amounts, including reasonable attorneys' fees and other legal fees and costs. We may suspend or cancel your Service if you fail to pay in full on time.
