Tämän työn tarkoituksena oli selvittää miksi kohdeyrityksen erään avainkomponentin, kehäpyörän, kovasorvauksen vaiheajoissa on niin paljon vaihtelua ja kuinka sitä saataisiin vähennettyä. Samalla pyrittiin lyhentämään keskimääräisiä vaiheaikoja. Tutkimus aloitettiin tuotannon nykytilan kartoituksella, jossa selvitettiin yrityksen toimintatapoja ja tuotannon tehokkuutta heikentäviä ongelmia. Tämän jälkeen aloitettiin varsinainen kehitysprojekti, joka perustui Lean-ajatteluun. Lean-ajattelu on tuotannon kehittämiseen tähtäävä filosofia, jossa pyritään tekemään enemmän vähemmällä, poistamalla tuotannosta kaikki ylimääräinen arvoa lisäämätön toiminta. Tuotantoon pyritään saamaan aikaiseksi tuotteiden jatkuva virtaus tuotantoa tahdistamalla. Erinomaisuutta tavoitellaan jatkuvalla parantamisella. Kohdeyrityksen tuotannon ongelmien tarkemmaksi selvittämiseksi toteutettiin erilaisia seurantoja, niin paikan päällä tuotannossa, kuin automaattista tiedonkeruuohjelmistoa hyväksi käyttäen. Seurantojen tuloksena selvisi, että pääsyyt tuotannon vaiheaikojen vaihteluun löytyvät teknisen järjestelmän sijaan ihmisten asenteista ja osaamisesta. Kun kehitystyön tuloksena toteutetaan muutoksia, kohdataan usein muutosvastarintaa. Tällöin tarvitaan tehokasta muutosjohtamista. Muutostyössä on tärkeä hallita tietoa sen jakamisen lisäksi myös sen keräämisessä. Muutoksiin johtavan tiedon tulee olla aina relevanttia ja faktapohjaista. Muutosjohtamisen tavoitteena on saada aikaiseksi tietoa luova organisaatio, joka kestää itsekritiikkiä ja jolla on poisoppimisen taito. Työsuoritusten parantamiseksi toteutettiin pilottihanke, jossa testattiin tässä työssä kehitettyä palautejärjestelmää. Palaute perustui automaattisen tiedonkeruuohjelmiston keräämään dataan. Samalla selvitettiin työtä hidastaneita ongelmia yhteistyössä työntekijöiden kanssa. Pilottihankkeen tulokset ovat lupaavia, sillä seurannassa olleen kehäpyörämallin viikoittaisten vaiheaikojen keskiarvo laski 32,6 % ja kehäpyörän puolikkaiden kovasorvauksen vaiheaikojen vaihtelut vähenivät 18,1 ja 26,8 %. Tämän tutkimuksen tulosten perusteella päivittäisten työmäärien tarkempaa seurantaa kannattaa jatkaa ja palautejärjestelmää kehittää edelleen.

In this dissertation the main aim was to study the usability of aspen wood in the mechanical wood processes, especially the factors that affect the usability of aspen wood, which is dried at different temperature levels. The problematic of varying temperatures from level to another seem to have significant effects on distortions. According to the studies conducted, many practical solutions for drying of aspen timber can be made. European aspen sawn timber should be dried in relatively narrow widths, short lengths, edged and sawn pith free. The results achieved give an interesting view for the distortions of aspen wood between HT drying and heat treatment. The most significant result is that cupping seems to decrease when increasing temperature level from HT drying to heat treatment phase. The difference is significant. Other very obvious result is that bow and crook are increasing between these two temperature levels, bow significantly. Also the modelling gives a good background for this result since cupping is reduced by higher temperatures. It can also be assumed that these distortions can be affected for example by sorting out the timber used to different moisture levels before drying. This could be a very simple solution for practical purposes. From practical point of view, it was also noted during the drying tests performed that the discoloration seem to be no problem for aspen boards dried in temperatures under 150 °C. Altogether, this dissertation covers many interesting points of view of factors affecting distortions of wood in different temperature stages. Aspen as species in use of mechanical wood industries seems to be a species suitable for component production. According to the results, the best yield from aspen timber can be achieved in industry that can utilize relatively short components of sawn wood. Results achieved give a significant indication about the factors affecting distortions of wood at different temperature stages of drying, especially considering European aspen.

A systematic averaging procedure has been derived in order to obtain an integral form of conservation equations for dispersed multiphase flow, especially applicable to fluidized beds. A similar averaging method is applied further to formulate macroscopic integral equations, which can be used in one-dimensional and macroscopic multi dimensional models. Circulating fluid bed hydrodynamics has been studied experimentally and both macroscopic and microscopic flow profiles have been measured in a cold model. As an application of the theory, the one dimensional model has been used to study mass and momentum conservation of gas and solid in a circulating fluid bed. Axial solid mixing has also been modelled by the one dimensional model and mixing parameters have been evaluated.

The research assesses the skills of upper comprehensive school pupils in history. The focus is on locating personal motives, assessing wider reasons hidden in historical sources and evaluating source reliability. The research also questions how a wide use of multiple sources affects pupils’ holistic understanding of historical phenomena. The participants were a multicultural group of pupils. The origins of their cultures can be traced to the Balkan, the Middle East, Asia and Europe. The number of native Finnish speakers and pupils speaking Finnish as their second language was almost equal. The multicultural composition provides opportunities to assess how culturally responsive learning history from sources is. The intercultural approach to learning in a multicultural setting emphasizes equality as a precondition for learning. In order to set assignments at least to some extent match with all participants only those answers were taken into account which were produced by pupils who had studied history for a similar period of time in the Finnish comprehensive school system. Due to the small number of participants (41), the study avoids wide generalizations. Nevertheless, possible cultural blueprints in pupils’ way of thinking are noted. The first test examined the skills of pupils to find motives for emigration. The results showed that for 7th graders finding reasons is not a problematic task. However, the number of reasons noticed and justifications varied. In addition, the way the pupils explained their choices was a distinguishing factor. Some pupils interpreted source material making use of previous knowledge on the issue, while other pupils based their analysis solely on the text handed and did not try to add their own knowledge. Answers were divided into three categories: historical, explanatory and stating. Historical answers combined smoothly previously learned historical knowledge to one’s own source analysis; explanatory answers often ignored a wider frame, although they were effective when explaining e.g. historical concepts. The stating answers only noticed motives from the sources and made no attempts to explain them historically. Was the first test culturally responsive? All pupils representing different cultures tackled the first source exam successfully, but there were some signs of how historical concepts are understood in a slightly different way if the pupil’s personal history has no linkage to the concepts under scrutiny. The second test focused on the history of Native Americans. The test first required pupils to recognize whether short source extracts (5) were written by Indians or Caucasians. Based on what they had already learned from North American history, the pupils did not find it hard to distinguish between the sources. The analysis of multiphase causes and consequences of the disputes between Native Americans and white Americans caused dispersion among pupils. Using two historical sources and combining historical knowledge from both of them simultaneously was cumbersome for many. The explanations of consequences can be divided into two groups: the ones emphasizing short term consequences and those placing emphasis on long term consequences. The short term approach was mainly followed by boys in every group. The girls mainly paid attention to long term consequences. The result suggests that historical knowledge in sources is at least to some extent read through role and gender lenses. The third test required pupils to explain in their own words how the three sources given differed in their account of living conditions in Nazi Germany, which turned out to be demanding for many pupils. The pupils’ stronghold was rather the assessment of source reliability and accounts why the sources approached the same events differently. All participants wrote critical and justified comments on reliability and aspects that might have affected the content of the sources. The pupils felt that the main reasons that affected source reliability were the authors’ ethnic background, nationality and profession. The assessment showed that pupils were well aware that position in a historical situation has an impact on historical accounts, but in certain cases the victim’s account was seen as a historical truth. The account of events by a historian was chosen most often as the most reliable source, but it was often justified leniently with an indication to professionalism rather than with clear ideas of how historians conduct accounts based on sources. In brief, the last source test demonstrates that pupils have a strong idea that the ethnicity or nationalism determines how people explained events of the past. It is also an implication that pupils understand how historical knowledge is interpretative. The results also imply that history can be analyzed from a neutral perspective. One’s own membership in an ethnical or religious group does not automatically mean that a person’s cultural identity excludes historical explanations if something in them contradicts with his or her identity. The second method of extracting knowledge of pupils’ historical thinking was an essay analysis. The analysis shows that an analytical account of complicated political issues, which often include a great number of complicated political concepts, leads more likely to an inconsistent structure in the written work of pupils. The material also demonstrates that pupils have a strong tendency to take a critical stance when assessing history. Historical empathy in particular is shown if history somehow has a linkage to young people, children or minorities. Some topics can also awake strong feelings, especially among pupils with emigrant background, if there is a linkage between one’s own personal history and that of the school; and occasionally a student’s historical experience or thoughts replaced school history. Using sources during history lessons at school seems to have many advantages. It enhances the reasoning skills of pupils and their skills to assess the nature of historical knowledge. Thus one of the main aims and a great benefit of source work is to encourage pupils to express their own ideas and opinions. To conclude, when assessing the skills of adolescents in history - their work with sources, comments on history, historical knowledge and finally their historical thinking - one should be cautious and avoid cut off score evaluations. One purpose of pursuing history with sources is to encourage pupils to think independently, which is a useful tool for further identity construction. The idea that pupils have the right to conduct their own interpretations of history can be partially understood as part of a wider learning process, justification to study history comes from extrinsic reasons. The intrinsic reason is history itself; in order to understand history one should have a basic understanding of history as a specific domain of knowledge. Using sources does not mean that knowing history is of secondary importance. Only a balance between knowing the contextual history, understanding basic key concepts and working with sources is a solid base to improve pupils’ historical understanding.

Tutkimukseni aiheena on Tuija Lehtisen tyttökirjasarja Mirkka, ja siinä esiintyvä poikatyttöhahmo Masa. Tarkastelen miten käsitys sukupuolesta Mirkka-sarjassa konstruoidaan ja millaisten käytänteiden kautta tämä sukupuolen ”tuottaminen” tapahtuu. Oman tulkintani mukaan Masa on poikatyttöytensä takia keskeinen hahmo jäljitettäessä niitä mekanismeja, joiden avulla kirjasarjan esittämä kuva sukupuolesta ja seksuaalisuudesta rakentuu. Poikatyttöhahmoja on esiintynyt niin nuorten kuin aikuistenkin kirjallisuudessa jo 1800-luvulta lähtien. Poikatytön hahmoon voidaan liittää naiselle sopimaton ja maskuliininen käytös, pojan vaatteiden käyttäminen, poikana esiintyminen, androgyynisyys ja se voidaan nähdä myös osana trans- tai lesboidentiteettiä. Kysyn tässä tutkimuksessa mitä tämä pojaksi ”tekeytyminen” esimerkiksi Masan hahmon kohdalla tarkoittaa, ja mitä merkityksiä feminiinisyys ja maskuliinisuus saavat poikatytön hahmossa. Mitkä tekijät mahdollistavat sen, että voidaan ylipäänsä puhua sellaisesta hahmosta kuin poikatyttö, ja millä tavalla hahmo toimii nuortenkirjallisuudessa sekä binaarisen sukupuolikäsityksen osoittajana että myös sen purkajana. Käsittelen edellä mainittuja tutkimuskysymyksiä neljän pääteeman kautta: 1) Miten Masan poikatyttöys rakentuu suhteessa Mirkka-sarjan tyttö- ja poikarepresentaatioihin. 2) Mirkkasarjan heteronormatiivinen parisuhdeihanne tyttökirjan kontekstissa 3) Poikatyttöhahmon sukupuolitettu toimijuus 4) Millä tavoin Masan hahmoa ja poikatyttöä olisi mahdollista lukea queer-lapsen kuvauksena. Mirkka-sarjassa keskeisimmät sukupuolikategorioita tuottavat ja ylläpitävät diskurssit ovat heteronormatiivinen käsitys sukupuolesta sekä heteroseksuaalinen parisuhdeihanne. Olen työni kuluessa päätynyt siihen, että Masan poikatyttöys on tilanteesta riippuva strategia sukupuoleensa kohdistuvia odotuksia ja velvoitteita vastaan. Se suhteutuu yhtäältä tyttökirjan ja poikatytön hahmon traditioon ja toisaalta sukupuoli- ja queer-tutkimuksen kontekstiin. Teoreettisena viitekehyksenäni on feminististen ja queer-teorioiden ne lähestymistavat, joissa sukupuoli ymmärretään butlerilaisittain performatiivisten toistojen kautta tuotettuna sosiaalisena ja kulttuurisena konstruktiona. Lisäksi paikannan itseni nuortenkirjallisuuden tutkimuksen kontekstiin ja erityisesti tyttökirjallisuuden genren traditioon.
