Tutkielman tavoitteena oli kuvata sekä rakentaa asuntosijoitusyhtiön hankintastrategia. Tavoitteena oli myös selvittää miten ostosalkkuanalyysiä voitaisiin hyödyntää asuntosijoitusyhtiön hankintastrategiassa. Näkökulmaksi valittiin transaktiokustannusteoria. Hankintastrategian muodostaminen kuvattiin esimerkkiyrityksen avulla. Tutkielmassa havaittiin, että hankintastrategian muodostaminen on yrityksille strategisesti tärkeä tehtävä. Sen muodostamiseksi ei ole olemassa yhtä oikeaa mallia, mutta monenlaisia apuvälineitä tähän löytyy. Hankintastrategian sisältö riippuu aina yrityksen omista tavoitteista. Kiinteistöalalla on vasta viimeaikoina ryhdytty panostamaan hankintatoimeen ja sen kehittämiseen. Kiinteistöalanhankintatoimi on suuresti kilpailutukseen perustuvaa hankintaa, vaikka alalla puhutaankin paljon kumppanuudesta. Kumppanuuden käsite tulkitaan alalla hyvin laajasti. Suuri osa alan hankinnoista on palveluiden hankintaa. Sopivan palveluntuottajan löytäminen on hankintatoimen suurimpia haasteita.

The aim of this research study was to find out guidelines for outsourcing of logistics processes. The study was outlined to spare parts and `business-to-business' (B2B) markets in metal industry. This study can be applied as a manual for outsourcing especially warehousing and transportation activities. The study also touches other important areas of spare part logistics like manufacturing, customer service, procurement, quality control, reverse and recycling logistics, logistics technologies and valueadded services. The method of study consisted of three areas. Firstly exchanging views with logistics experts in participating companies, and secondly compiling material based on author's practical experience in logistics business with several international and domestic logistics service providers and vendors. Thirdlythe study includes also references to literature material. Due to the fact thatthe outsourcing of logistics functions can be handled widely and from differentpoint of views, in this study it is concentrated mainly on giving general levelguidelines for defining logistics strategy, hints both for tendering process and implementation project, and not forgetting the aftercare of business partnership.

This thesis addresses the issue of the moving boundaries between family and friends' roles in personal networks, adopting a life-course perspective and using Switzerland as a case study. In a period of major changes in personal life happening in contemporary Western societies, understanding the organization of personal networks intertwined with the unfolding of individual life courses is of prime importance in facing new challenges with regard to social integration. The data stem from a representative national survey carried out in 2011 named Family tiMes, including 803 individuals born either in 1950-1955 or in 1970-1975. An innovative research design was adopted, combing cross-sectional ego-centered network data and retrospective longitudinal life-course data. The results show continuing boundaries between family and friends' roles and that family keeps a prominent role in personal networks despite the notable importance of friendship ties. One relationship stands out above all, that with the partner, followed quite a few steps behind by those with children. Regarding life courses, de-standardization tendencies were found in family formation and also a persistent gendering of occupational trajectories. Two kinds of life trajectories are particularly intertwined with personal networks, co-residence and partnership trajectories, both related to the unfolding of family life. In particular, transition to parenthood functions as a turning point in individuals' lives, deeply transforming their sociability. Finally, a twofold pluralization process was identified, affecting simultaneously the organization of personal networks and the unfolding of individual life courses. This thesis contributes to the literature on the sociology of family and personal life, and to fruitful interlinkage between the network approach and the life-course perspective.

La diffusion internationale des paiements pour services environnementaux (PSE) a été interprétée en 2010 par le gouvernement bolivien d'Evo Morales comme une réponse strictement néolibérale à la nécessité d'assurer une gestion durable des ressources naturelles. Supposée amener à terme à l'éviction de toute régulation autre que marchande - qu'elle s'applique à la nature ou aux rapports entre personnes -, la mise en place de PSE n'a pas été encouragée par les autorités nationales boliviennes. Des projets de PSE ont toutefois été lancés, dont les Acuerdos Reciprocos por el Agua (ARA), issus d'un partenariat public-privé dans le département de Santa Cruz. En analysant leur conception et leur fonctionnement au prisme du référentiel polanyien, nous montrons que, contrairement aux craintes gouvernementales, ces PSE ne font pas abstraction des logiques organisationnelles réciprocitaires et redistributives, ajustant au contexte local un objet global. The international dissemination of payments for ecosystem services (PES) has been interpreted in 2010 by the Bolivian government of Evo Morales as a strictly neo-liberal response to the need to ensure a sustainable management of natural resources. Supposed to contribute to the crowding-out of any other regulation than market - applied to the nature or the relationship between people - the implementation of PES was not encouraged by the Bolivian national authorities. However some PES projects stemming from a public-private partnership have been initiated at local level, as the Acuerdos Reciprocos por el Agua (ARA), in the department of Santa Cruz. Analysing their design and operating through the Polanyian framework, we show that, contrary to the government fears, these PES do not ignore the reciprocal and redistributive organisational logics, adjusting a global object to the local context.

Raportissa esitetään keinoja kysynnän vaihteluiden ehkäisemiseksi sekä vaihteluihin varautumiseksi metalliteollisuudessa alihankintayrityksessä. Keinot on jaoteltu sisäisiin ja ulkoisiin toimenpiteisiin. Sisäiset toimenpiteet on toteutettu yrityksen omassa tuotannossa ja niiden tarkoitus on kehittää valmistusprosesseja kokonaisuutena. Ulkoiset toimenpiteet on suunniteltu kehittämään kohdeyrityksen ja sen suurimman asiakkaan välistä yhteistyötä. Ratkaisukeinoja kehitettäessä raportissa tutustutaan prosessien merkitykseen toiminnan kuvaamisessa sekä ajan rooliin tilausohjautuvassa toiminnassa. Myös tilauksen kytkentäpisteen merkitystä toiminnan kehittämisessä pohditaan. Kysyntävaihteluiden perimmäisiä syitä analysoidaan ja esitellään toimintavaihtoehtoja kysyntävaihteluiden vähentämiseksi tai poistamiseksi. Kehitetyt toimenpiteet muodostavat kaksitasoisen ja kahdeksan pykäläisen ratkaisumallin. Ratkaisuista ulkoisia ovat toimintavastuiden uudelleenmäärittely, tilauskäytäntöjen kehittäminen, tiedon jakaminen sekä siirtyminen keskitettyihin toimitusratkaisuihin. Sisäiset ratkaisut ovat tuotantomuotojen uudelleenorganisointi, läpäisyajan parantaminen, resurssien tehokkaampi hyödyntäminen sekä prosessipohjaiset tuotannonohjausmenetelmät. Toimenpiteiden myötä kohdeyritys on tulevaisuudessa paremmin varautunut kohtaamaan vaihteluita kysynnässä. Yritys on sisäisesti joustavampi ja tehokkaampi ja omaa myös tehokkaita ulkoisia valmiuksia kysyntävaihteluiden varalle.

BACKGROUND: The past three decades have seen rapid improvements in the diagnosis and treatment of most cancers and the most important contributor has been research. Progress in rare cancers has been slower, not least because of the challenges of undertaking research. SETTINGS: The International Rare Cancers Initiative (IRCI) is a partnership which aims to stimulate and facilitate the development of international clinical trials for patients with rare cancers. It is focused on interventional--usually randomized--clinical trials with the clear goal of improving outcomes for patients. The key challenges are organisational and methodological. A multi-disciplinary workshop to review the methods used in ICRI portfolio trials was held in Amsterdam in September 2013. Other as-yet unrealised methods were also discussed. RESULTS: The IRCI trials are each presented to exemplify possible approaches to designing credible trials in rare cancers. Researchers may consider these for use in future trials and understand the choices made for each design. INTERPRETATION: Trials can be designed using a wide array of possibilities. There is no 'one size fits all' solution. In order to make progress in the rare diseases, decisions to change practice will have to be based on less direct evidence from clinical trials than in more common diseases.

BACKGROUND: Worldwide data for cancer survival are scarce. We aimed to initiate worldwide surveillance of cancer survival by central analysis of population-based registry data, as a metric of the effectiveness of health systems, and to inform global policy on cancer control. METHODS: Individual tumour records were submitted by 279 population-based cancer registries in 67 countries for 25·7 million adults (age 15-99 years) and 75 000 children (age 0-14 years) diagnosed with cancer during 1995-2009 and followed up to Dec 31, 2009, or later. We looked at cancers of the stomach, colon, rectum, liver, lung, breast (women), cervix, ovary, and prostate in adults, and adult and childhood leukaemia. Standardised quality control procedures were applied; errors were corrected by the registry concerned. We estimated 5-year net survival, adjusted for background mortality in every country or region by age (single year), sex, and calendar year, and by race or ethnic origin in some countries. Estimates were age-standardised with the International Cancer Survival Standard weights. FINDINGS: 5-year survival from colon, rectal, and breast cancers has increased steadily in most developed countries. For patients diagnosed during 2005-09, survival for colon and rectal cancer reached 60% or more in 22 countries around the world; for breast cancer, 5-year survival rose to 85% or higher in 17 countries worldwide. Liver and lung cancer remain lethal in all nations: for both cancers, 5-year survival is below 20% everywhere in Europe, in the range 15-19% in North America, and as low as 7-9% in Mongolia and Thailand. Striking rises in 5-year survival from prostate cancer have occurred in many countries: survival rose by 10-20% between 1995-99 and 2005-09 in 22 countries in South America, Asia, and Europe, but survival still varies widely around the world, from less than 60% in Bulgaria and Thailand to 95% or more in Brazil, Puerto Rico, and the USA. For cervical cancer, national estimates of 5-year survival range from less than 50% to more than 70%; regional variations are much wider, and improvements between 1995-99 and 2005-09 have generally been slight. For women diagnosed with ovarian cancer in 2005-09, 5-year survival was 40% or higher only in Ecuador, the USA, and 17 countries in Asia and Europe. 5-year survival for stomach cancer in 2005-09 was high (54-58%) in Japan and South Korea, compared with less than 40% in other countries. By contrast, 5-year survival from adult leukaemia in Japan and South Korea (18-23%) is lower than in most other countries. 5-year survival from childhood acute lymphoblastic leukaemia is less than 60% in several countries, but as high as 90% in Canada and four European countries, which suggests major deficiencies in the management of a largely curable disease. INTERPRETATION: International comparison of survival trends reveals very wide differences that are likely to be attributable to differences in access to early diagnosis and optimum treatment. Continuous worldwide surveillance of cancer survival should become an indispensable source of information for cancer patients and researchers and a stimulus for politicians to improve health policy and health-care systems.

Diplomityön tavoitteena oli tutkia yksityisrahoitusmallin soveltuvuutta julkisen sektorin palvelutuotantoon sekä kuvata yksityisrahoitteisen aluerakentamishankkeen sisältö ja liiketoimintaprosessin eteneminen hankkeen ideasta konsessiosopimuksen päättymiseen asti.Huoltosuhteen muuttumisen lisäksi muuttoliike kasvukeskuksiin lisää julkisen sektorin paineita tuottaa skandinaavisen hyvinvointiyhteiskuntamme vaatimusten mukaisia palveluita. Julkinen sektori onkin ajautunut tilanteeseen, jossa vaihtoehtoina ovat sen tuottamien palveluiden supistaminen ja maksullistaminen tai tuotantomuotojen kehittäminen.Työssä esitetty yksityisrahoitteinen aluerakentamismalli mahdollistaa laadukkaiden julkisten palveluiden tuottamisen oikea-aikaisesti ja kustannustehokkaasti. Tässä uudessa aluerakentamisen mallissa yksityinen sektori rahoittaisi, rakentaisi sekä operoisi ja ylläpitäisi määräajan perinteisesti kunnalle kuuluneita infrastruktuuri- ja palveluhankkeita.Tutkimuksen keskeinen tulos on yksityisrahoitteisen aluerakentamisen liiketoimintaprosessikaavio. Liiketoimintaprosessin kuvaus edesauttaa monimutkaisen prosessin ymmärtämistä ja mahdollistaa yksityisrahoitteisen aluerakentamismallin edelleen kehittämisen sekä sen markkinoinnin julkiselle ja yksityiselle sektorille. Liiketoimintaprosessikaaviossa kuvataan prosessin osapuolet ja prosessin eteneminen julkisen ja yksityisen sektorin tarpeesta ja YIT:n liikeideasta aina alueen rakentamiseen, operointiin, ylläpitoon ja palvelutuotannon siirtoon julkiselle ja yksityiselle sektorille
