This master thesis is concerned with the choice of suitable data quality dimensions for a particular database of economy information and proposes and implements metrics for its assessment. The aim of this paper is to define the term data quality in the context of economy information database and possible ways to measure it. Based on dimensions suitable to observe, a list of metrics was created and subsequently implemented in SQL query language, alternatively in a procedural extension Transact SQL. These metrics were also tested with the use of real data and the results were provided with a commentary. The main asset of this work is its complex processing of the data quality topic, from theoretical term definition to particular implementation of individual metrics. Finally, this study offers a variety of both theoretical and practical directions fort this issue to be further researched.

Syftet med studien är att få en förståelse för vad kvalitet är i förskolan. Barnkonventionen säger att allt som rör barnet ska se till barnets bästa. Vi runt omkring barnet har olika erfarenheter och kunskaper, vilket gör att vi kan bidra med det bästa till barnet. Att kunna samarbeta med barnets vårdnadshavare, för att barnet ska kunna utvecklas rikt och mångsidigt, är viktigt för att vi ska kunna ge barnet rätt start i livet med de bästa förutsättningarna. Studien genomfördes genom en kvalitativ undersökning där empirin samlades in genom brevdata. Pedagoger, förskolechefer och vårdnadshavare fick svara på två öppna frågor om deras syn på vad kvalitet i förskolan är. Slutsatsen blev att kvalitet i förskolan är ett begrepp som inte går att slutgiltigt definiera. Kvalitet måste sättas i förhållande till något när man ska beskriva det, det måste ses från flera olika dimensioner. Det som definierar kvalitet beror på flera olika faktorer, däribland kulturella skillnader, normer och värden, kunskap om ämnet, vilken filosofi förskolan har, personalens kompetens och ekonomiska förutsättningar. / The purpose of the study is to get an understanding of what quality is in kindergarten. The Convention says that everything related to the child to see the child. We are around the child have different experiences and knowledge, which allows us to provide the best for the child. Being able to work with the child's guardian for the child to develop rich and diverse is important for us to give the child the right start in life with the best conditions. The study was conducted through a qualitative survey of the empirical data was gathered through letters data. Educators, preschool managers and guardians were asked to answer two open questions about what they considered to be quality in preschool. The conclusion was that quality in preschool is concepts that cannot be conclusively define. Quality must be in relation to something when describing it, then it must be viewed from several different dimensions. What defines quality depends on several factors, including cultural differences, norms and values, knowledge of the subject, the philosophy of pre-school, staff skills and economic conditions. / <p>Godkännandedatum: 2016-06-05</p>

This study aimed to explore existing quality improvement activities in primary health care setting in South Africa. Two sets of questionnaires were used to collect data from both patients and nurse managers. Findings indicated that clinics were generally acceptable and affordable to patients, but should operate for longer time-periods, that sorting of patients and long waiting times, coupled with short consultation time-periods, warranted immediate remedial actions. Only five of the fourteen listed quality initiatives were satisfactorily practised. It was concluded that despite many obstacles and difficulties as mentioned by respondents, the issue of quality-improvement in primary health care is receiving attention, but should still be improved to a greater extent. / Health Studies / M.A. (Advanced Nursing Sciences)
