(2016)The purpose of this research was to study the modelling stages of leather bag patterns. The research approached the process of making leather bag patterns as explained by two pro-fessionals. The research was limited to study only the bags made out of leather, whereby the selection of the material is relevant already at the pattern modelling stage. Pattern modelling is a significant part of the making of the product. The pattern manufacturing process com-bines a number of factors and work stages. The knowledge related to modelling of bag pat-terns is personified and tacit knowledge. Of the modelling of leather bag patterns only mar-ginal written information can be found, and that is why it is essential. The research task was to gather information from professionals to create research data. This research data was the basis for separating premises, phases, and factors affecting to the bag pattern modelling. The research method followed qualitative and data-driven research method. The research data consisted of theme interviews made to two professional bag pattern modelers. The data was analyzed and classified by close reading method which formed the basis of the results of the research. The analysis of the research data indicated that both the interviewed approached pattern modelling with same methods. Based on the research results it was possible to define the working stages and starting points of pattern modelling. According to the research the model-ling of bag patterns starts at the bag’s front part and continues to the modelling of the side and bottom parts of the bag. Based on the data classification different factors affecting the pattern modelling were found. These factors were separated to direct and indirect factors depending on their effect on pattern modelling. The research proves that the modelling of leather bag patterns requires long-term professional dedication. The research also indicates that the modelling of leather bag patterns is a complex and spirally actualized process, but no straight conclusion on the topic can be drawn on the basis of this research.

”Näin me lähdetään taisteluun” : vanhemman sairastuminen ja kuolema 2000-luvun lasten kuvakirjoissa (2020)Kuolema-keskustelu on yhteiskunnassamme edelleen tabu ja asiasta puhumista vältellään etenkin lasten kanssa. Sairastuminen ja kuolema ovat harvinaisia aiheita etenkin lasten kuvakirjoissa, vaikka ne ovat luonnollinen osa jokaisen elämää. Keskustelu ja syventyminen näihin aiheisiin ei traumatisoi lapsia, vaan päinvastoin auttaa heitä ymmärtämään niitä paremmin. Tämän tutkielman tarkoituksena on selvittää, miten vanhemman sairastuminen ja kuolema kuvataan lasten kuvakirjoissa. Lisäksi pohdinnassa on se, miten lasten kuvakirjojen lapsipäähenkilöt reagoivat uutisiin vanhemman sairastumisesta ja millaista heidän elämänsä on vanhemman kuoleman jälkeen. Tässä tutkielmassa tarkastelen myös sitä, millainen lasten kuolemakäsitys on eri kehitysvaiheissa ja miten lasten kanssa tulisi keskustella kuolemasta. Tutkielma sisältää myös tietoa lastenkirjallisuudesta, sen kirjallisuusterapeuttisesta käytöstä sekä siitä, miten nämä aiheet ovat esiintyneet ennen ja miten ne esiintyvät nykyään lastenkirjallisuudessa. Tutkielmassa analysoin ja tulkitsen kahta erilaista 2000-luvun lasten kuvakirjaa lähiluku- menetelmällä: Tuula Sandströmin Santeri ja syöpäri: Ylösnousemuskuja 1 (2004) sekä Riitta Jalosen ja Kristiina Louhen Tyttö ja naakkapuu (2004). Tulkinnan pohjalta voi päätellä sen, että lapset reagoivat vanhempiensa sairastumiseen tai kuolemaan voimakkaasti ja laajasti, kuitenkin kaikki yksilöllisesti. Lapsia ei tulisi sulkea sairauden etenemisen vaiheista pois eikä myöskään jättää suruaikana yksin, vaan heitä tulisi tukea ja osallistaa heidän kehitystasonsa mukaisesti.

(2019)The subject of this thesis is the image of women in children´s literature. The study surveys gender in picture books. The aim of this study was to examine women are described in the Finnish picture books published in the 2010s. The study also wanted to find out what women are professional. According to previous studies women are described most often as mother or in stereotypical occupations of women in literature. Children’s literature transmits the image of society and culture to children. Using literature, a child builds his own identity. It would be important to write and publish children’s books which convey an image about the society that supports the diversity of people, gender equality and human individual-ity. Everyone should have the right to do life choices as an individual, no defined by one’s gender. The study data consists of 13 Finnish picture books which were published in the 2010s. The study de-scribes roles, appearance and agency of women through the descriptions of the texts in the books. The study is a qualitative research and the data is analyzed mainly by applying content analysis. Also content distribution specific to quantitative research was used to support content analysis. The results of research point out that women were described very often as mother in picture books. Mothers act in different operational environment together with their families. A woman as a mother was described making food to family or comforting and cuddling with a child. In picture books women described also working in their own professions. In addition to these, stories of independent women and their life were described in picture books. Overall, women were represented both in lead-ing and minor roles.
