Weaving Futures. Family Transnationalism in the migration from Dominican Republic and Brazil to Spain

This article explores forms of migrant families’ reorganization within a (new) global economic crisis and the hardening of migration control in Europe; based on the cases of Dominican and Brazilian migration to Spain.Our goal is not to characterize the wholeness of strategies from these collectives, instead visualize its heterogeneity. Displacement of Dominican and Brazilian population to Spain shares the role of women as the first link of migration chains. In both cases women are the economic support of transnational families and they lead reunification's processes. Nevertheless, differences in the time spent in the destination country, migratory status, origin (rural-urban), level of education, class and labor insertion in destination country, affect differently, the planning and start up of migration projects, the organization of care and family reunification strategies. These findings question the predominant place granted to national origin in the study of international migration.

Performance Tuning of Fenix Logistic Systems

Työn tavoitteena oli selvittää Stora Enso Oyj:llä käytössä olevan Fenix myynnin- ja logistiikanhallintajärjestelmän logistiikkapalveluiden suorituskyky, tuottaa asiakasohjelmisto suorituskykymittauksista muodostuneen tiedon hallintaan sekä tuottaa toteuttamissuunnitelma suorituskyvyn parantamiseksi. Suorituskyky mitattiin käyttämällä TUXEDOn tarjoamia ominaisuuksia. Suorituskykymittausten tuloksien arviointia varten rakennettiin asiakasohjelmisto, jolla pystyttiin tuottamaan tarvittavat yhteenvetotiedot palveluiden kestoista ja rakenteista. Valmiita ratkaisuja ei ollut tarjolla, joten kaikki tarvittavat ohjelmistot on rakennettu osana tätä työtä. Kaikki komponenttiliittymät toteutettiin siten, että myös muitakin kuin logistiikkaan liittyviä palveluita voidaan tarvittaessa mitata. Mittausten tuloksena saatuja keskimääräisiä suoritusaikoja käytettiin hyväksi toteuttamissuunnitelmaa tehdessä. Toteutussuunnitelma sisältää useiden logistiikka-alueiden kehittämisideoita, joilla Fenixin logistiikkapalveluiden suorituskykyä voidaan tehostaa., ja nykyinen järjestelmän toimintanopeus pystytään säilyttämään tulevaisuudessa. Toteuttamissuunnitelmassa esitettyjä toimenpiteitä tullaan toteuttamaan TietoEnator Oyj:ssä vuoden 2003 aikana.
