In this thesis, two negatively valenced emotions are approached as reflecting children’s self-consciousness, namely guilt and shame. Despite the notable role of emotions in the psychological research, empirical research findings on the links between guilt, shame, and children’s social behavior – and particularly aggression – have been modest, inconsistent, and sometimes contradictory. This thesis contains four studies on the associations of guilt, shame, emotion regulation, and social cognitions with children’s social behavior. The longitudinal material of the thesis was collected as a survey among a relatively large amount of Finnish preadolescents. In Study I, the distinctiveness of guilt and shame in children’s social behavior were investigated. The more specific links of emotions and aggressive behavior were explored in Study II, in which emotion regulation and negative emotionality were treated as the moderators between guilt, shame, and children’s aggressive behavior. The role of emotion management was further evaluated in Study III, in which effortful control and anger were treated as the moderators between domain-specific aggressive cognitions and children’s aggressive behavior. In the light of the results from the Studies II and III, it seems that for children with poor emotion management the effects of emotions and social cognitions on aggressive behavior are straight-forward, whereas effective emotion management allows for reframing the situation. Finally, in Study IV, context effects on children’s anticipated emotions were evaluated, such that children were presented a series of hypothetical vignettes, in which the child was acting as the aggressor. Furthermore, the identity of the witnesses and victim’s reactions were systematically manipulated. Children anticipated the most shame in situations, in which all of the class was witnessing the aggressive act, whereas both guilt and shame were anticipated the most in the situations, in which the victim was reacting with sadness. Girls and low-aggressive children were more sensitive to contextual cues than boys and high-aggressive children. Overall, the results of this thesis suggest that the influences of guilt, shame, and social cognition on preadolescents’ aggressive behavior depend significantly on the nature of individual emotion regulation, as well as situational contexts. Both theoretical and practical implications of this study highlight a need to acknowledge effective emotion management as enabling the justification of one’s own immoral behavior.

In recent decades, industrial activity growth and increasing water usage worldwide have led to the release of various pollutants, such as toxic heavy metals and nutrients, into the aquatic environment. Modified nanocellulose and microcellulose-based adsorption materials have the potential to remove these contaminants from aqueous solutions. The present research consisted of the preparation of five different nano/microcellulose-based adsorbents, their characterization, the study of adsorption kinetics and isotherms, the determination of adsorption mechanisms, and an evaluation of adsorbents’ regeneration properties. The same well known reactions and modification methods that were used for modifying conventional cellulose also worked for microfibrillated cellulose (MFC). The use of succinic anhydride modified mercerized nanocellulose, and aminosilane and hydroxyapatite modified nanostructured MFC for the removal of heavy metals from aqueous solutions exhibited promising results. Aminosilane, epoxy and hydroxyapatite modified MFC could be used as a promising alternative for H2S removal from aqueous solutions. In addition, new knowledge about the adsorption properties of carbonated hydroxyapatite modified MFC as multifunctional adsorbent for the removal of both cations and anions ions from water was obtained. The maghemite nanoparticles (Fe3O4) modified MFC was found to be a highly promising adsorbent for the removal of As(V) from aqueous solutions due to its magnetic properties, high surface area, and high adsorption capacity . The maximum removal efficiencies of each adsorbent were studied in batch mode. The results of adsorption kinetics indicated very fast removal rates for all the studied pollutants. Modeling of adsorption isotherms and adsorption kinetics using various theoretical models provided information about the adsorbent’s surface properties and the adsorption mechanisms. This knowledge is important for instance, in designing water treatment units/plants. Furthermore, the correspondence between the theory behind the model and properties of the adsorbent as well as adsorption mechanisms were also discussed. On the whole, both the experimental results and theoretical considerations supported the potential applicability of the studied nano/microcellulose-based adsorbents in water treatment applications.

Customer knowledge management (CKM) practices enable organizations to create customer competence with systematic use of customer information that is integrated throughout the organization. Nonetheless, organizations are not able to fully exploit the vast amount of data available. Previous research on use of customer information is limited especially in a multichannel environment. The aim of this study was to identify the main obstacles for utilizing customer information efficiently across multiple sales channels. The study was conducted as a single case study in order to gain deeper understanding of the research problem. The empirical findings indicate that lack of CKM practices and a common goal are major challenges obstructing effective utilization of customer information. Furthermore, decentralized organizational structure and insufficient analytical skills create obstacles for information sharing and capabilities to process information and create new knowledge. The implications of the study suggest that in order to create customer competence organizations should shift their focus from technology to the organizational factors affecting use of information and implement CKM practices throughout the organization.

Yritysten ympäristönsuojelua ohjailevat kansalliset lait ja asetukset kuten ympäristönsuojelulaki (86/2000) ja jätelaki (646/2011) sekä Euroopan unionin lainsäädäntö. Ympäristönsuojelu on yrityksille yhä tärkeämpi osa liiketoimintaa. Tähän ovat vaikuttaneet yhä enemmän kiristynyt lainsäädäntö ja taloudellisen hyödyn tavoittelu ympäristöasioiden hyvän hoidon seurauksena sekä sidosryhmien lisääntynyt kiinnostus yritysten ympäristöasioista. Diplomityön tavoitteena oli perehtyä uuden jätelain tuomiin muutoksiin sahateollisuuden osalta, selvittää sahateollisuuden jätteiden hyötykäyttö mahdollisuuksia yleisesti sekä kehittää viranomaisraportointia jätteiden osalta. Diplomityössä analysoidaan Kiteen sahan jätevirtoja ja niiden käsittelyä, sekä hyötykäyttöä. Tarkoituksena on pyrkiä tilanteeseen, jossa syntyvät jätteet käsiteltäisiin siten, että jätteiden käsittelystä aiheutuvat kustannukset pienenisivät ja kaatopaikalle sijoitettavan jätteen määrä vähenisi ilman investointien tarvetta. Työssä vertaillaan muiden Stora Enson Suomen sahojen jätevirtoja ja niiden hyötykäyttöä Kiteen sahan tilanteeseen. Tavoitteena on löytää sellaisia jätteiden hyötykäyttömahdollisuuksia, jotka olisivat hyödynnettävissä kaikilla Stora Enson Suomen sahoilla.

TIIVISTELMÄ Tekijä: Urpalainen, Mika Tutkielman nimi: Miten kehittää ketjuliiketoimintaa rautakaupassa Case: Rautanet Tiedekunta: Kauppatieteellinen tiedekunta Pääaine / Maisteriohjelma: Kansainvälinen markkinointi Vuosi: 2014 Pro gradu – tutkielma: Lappeenrannan teknillinen yliopisto, 129 sivua, 28 kuvaa, 15 taulukkoa ja kaksi liitettä Tarkastajat: prof. Olli Kuivalainen, prof. Sanna-Katriina Asikainen Hakusanat: ketjutoiminta, Rautanet-ketju, sitoutuminen, markkinointi Keywords: Chain business, Rautanet-chain, commitment, marketing Rautanet-ketju on heterogeeninen, vapaaehtoisuuteen perustuva rautakauppaketju, joka on perustettu vuonna 1998. Tämän tutkimuksen tarkoituksena on selvittää Rautanet-kauppiaille ja koko ketjuorganisaatiolle ketjutoiminnan etuja, haasteita sekä kauppiaskunnan näkemyksiä ketjutoiminnasta tänä päivänä. Tutkimusmenetelmä oli kvalitatiivinen ja kvantitatiivinen, se perustui kauppiaille lähetettyyn kyselylomakkeeseen, joka sisälsi Likert-asteikollisia kysymyksiä 36 ja 3 kysymystä joihin vastattiin kirjallisesti. Kysymykset sisälsivät aiheita mm. Sitoutumisesta, markkinoinnista, sidosryhmistä jne. Tutkimusjoukkona oli Rautanet-kauppiaat. Kokonaisuutena arvioiden kauppiaat ovat tyytyväisiä ketjun toimintaan. Suurimmat edut ovat markkinointituki kuvastojen avulla ja ketjun voima, jonka kauppiaat tekevät yhdessä. Etuna voidaan pitää myös kauppiaiden sitoutumishalukkuutta ketjuun. Suurimpana haasteena on ehkä itsenäisyyden menettämisen pelko. Rautanet-ketjun toiminta on hyvällä tasolla. Kilpailun kiristyessä myös Rautanet-ketjun kauppiaiden sitoutumishalukkuutta on pidettävä yllä. Ketjuorganisaation on kunnioitettava kauppiaan itsenäisyyttä ja kuunneltava jatkossakin kauppiaita. Ketjun ja kauppiaiden selkeä yhteinen päämäärä, rakentaa vahva ketju, joka pystyy vastaamaan kilpailijoiden haasteisiin, on hyvin paljon riippuvainen yhdessä tekemisen halusta.
