  • Koulun vastuu nettikiusaamisessa : toimintamallit nettikiusaamiseen puuttumiseen 
    Keinänen, Tuulia (2020)
    The aim of this study was to find out teachers’ and guardians’ perceptions of cyberbullying intervention strategies and the school’s responsibility. Besides the intent was to examine their views about the intervention programs gathered by the Ministry of Education and Culture. Previous research has shown that school officials intervene more easily in physical bullying as they do not notice the cyberbullying incidents and more guidance and intervention programs are needed. The purpose of this study was to provide information to school officials and guardians about the operative factors linked to cyberbullying interventions, to point out the intervention procedures and programs that are regarded as being practical and to determine the responsibility of school based on the views of teachers and guardians. Four guardians and three teachers participated in the study. The data was collected in two focus group discussions, one with teachers and the other one with guardians. The material was analyzed by using qualitative content analysis. The analysis was partly led by the theoretical framework and partly the themes that came up in the discussions. The results showed that teachers applied the same methods than in traditional bullying such as discussions, agreements and positive pedagogy while emphasizing also the responsibility of the guardians. However, the guardians felt that the pre-adolescents had not received enough guidance and support from the school and they were reluctant to report cyberbullying. According to the focus groups the responsibility of school to intervene in the cyberbullying occurred at school depends on the school policies, legislation, multi-professional collaboration, anonymity and the case in question. When it happens outside the school the responsibility is easier to specify – teachers are not obligated to intervene excluding the incidents that are linked to school or appear also in there. As to the intervention programs the guardians considered the peer mediation program VERSO to be the most functional while the teachers found it to be more suitable for small disputes. The teachers liked the KiVa program the most based on their good experiences and they especially high-lighted a case-by-case approach. Likewise the guardians gave good feedback on the KiVa program.
  • Puunkorjuuresurssien tehokas käyttö : Metsäkoneyritysten toimintaympäristö ja operatiiviset toimintamallit 
    Mäkelä, Timo (2017)
    The wood procurement companies and the forest industry are linked in both economical and operational perspective. Therefore, the success of one is dependent on another. In Finland, the procurement volumes are to increase, so efficient performance of procurement operations is vital. In this study, the operational environment and operative practices of the chosen 12 procurement companies were studied by analyzing procurement data of three years’ period, by interviewing the entrepreneurs and by assessing their operative practices with a cost analysis model. The results point out considerable variation in the procured volume and productive machine hours. Common problems were related to timber reception at mills and difficulties in resource utilization planning due to varying amount of harvesting work. Entrepreneurs hoped for larger forest stand inventory and more systematic planning in acquisition of stands to optimize logistics and harvesting. Variation in the worksite preparation performance of the employees of the customers requires improvement and entrepreneurs have development to do in performance monitoring and attitudes towards it. Variation in tools used for monitoring and resources dedicated to it was notable. Limitations of management resources appeared in middle-size companies and hiring supervisor-level personnel is a high threshold. Unit costs for harvesting varied considerably, but in general higher productive machine hours decrease the unit cost. Decrease of the annual standstill-time and transit distances and adequate worksite volume and machinery utilization rate are key factors, that can affect the unit cost by up to several per cent. On national scale, the cost decrement can be from millions of euros to tens of millions only by small improvements Notable variation in productive machine hours and harvested volumes tells about possibilities for improvements. These can be found by developing the operational environment together with customers and by assessing own practices and attitudes openly and critically. Wood procurement companies in general have the will to improve and develop and together with the forest industry’s increasing need for timber, this provides improvement possibilities for the whole chain of wood procurement.
