Kalvens utveckling från födsel till produktion

Syfte med detta arbete är att få reda på vilken skötsel som är bäst för kalvens utveckling och hälsa. I arbetet beskrivs olika faktorer som påverkar hurudan mjölkko det blir av kalven. Målet med detta arbete är att få fram de bästa sätten att sköta om kalvar. I arbetet beskrivs kalvens utveckling, utfodring, utrymmes krav, vanligaste sjukdomarna hos kalvar och när kalven blir en kviga. Av dessa faktorer skall det kunna beskriva vilken slags skötsel som är bäst för kalven. För att nå målet i arbetet används kvalitativ forskning och intervju med fyra olika ladugårdsföretagare. Från intervjuerna får man olika synpunkter av fyra olika personer. I arbetet kommer det fram att bra mjölkkor får man av välskötta kalvar. Om kalven har bra utfodring och bra skötsel har den en bra chans att bli en bra mjölkande ko. Det beskrivs också vilka metoder som är mindre bra med tanke på kalvens utveckling och hälsa.Tämän opinnäytetyön tarkoituksena on selvittää, mikä hoito on paras vasikan kehitykselle ja terveydelle. Työssä otetaan huomioon erilaisia tekijöitä, jotka vaikuttavat siihen millainen lehmä vasikasta tulee. Lopputyön tarkoituksena on löytää parhaimpia tapoja hoitaa vasikoita. Siinä kerrotaan vasikan ruokinnasta, tilavaatimuksista, vasikoiden yleisimmistä sairauksista ja milloin vasikasta tulee hieho. Edellä mainittujen aiheiden käsittelystä on tarkoitus saada kuva siitä, minkälainen hoito on vasikalle parasta. Tavoitteen saavuttamiseksi työssä käytetään kvalitatiivista tutkimustapaa ja haastattelu neljän karjanomistajan kanssa. Haastatteluista saadaan selville erilaisia näkemyksiä neljältä eri ihmiseltä. Opinnäytetyöstä selviää, että hyvän lypsylehmän saa hyvin hoidetusta vasikasta. Jos vasikka on hyvin ruokittu ja saanut parasta mahdollista hoitoa, on sillä mahdollisuus tulla hyväksi lypsylehmäksi. Tekstissä kerrotaan myös mitkä hoitotavat johtavat huonon vasikan kehittymiseen.The purpose of this work is to find out which care is best for the calf’s development and health.

The results showed that: (1) There is a correlation between the achievement variable and the learning environment with the learning discipline control variable obtained a relationship of 0.546 (strong) with a sig probability of 0.000, meaning that the relationship is significant. The calculation results show that the t value for the interpretation coefficient for β0 = 0.615 provides a significant value at α = 0.05 (it can be seen that the t value = 5.349 with 59 degrees of freedom is greater than t table = 2.576 or Sig = 0.000); for β1 = 0.438 provides a significant value at α = 0.05 (it can be seen that the t value = 3.863 with 59 degrees of freedom is greater than t table = 2.576 or Sig = 0.000), meaning that learning achievement can be influenced by learning discipline by 0.438 (meaning that if learning discipline increases by 1% it will affect the increase in learning achievement by 0.437%, if the learning environment is constant), (2) There is an influence of the learning environment on the learning achievement of social studies students in class VIII SMPK Yos Sudarso Ende). Likewise, learning achievement can be influenced by the learning environment by 0.481 (meaning that if the learning environment increases by 1%, it will affect the increase in learning achievement by 0.481%, if the learning discipline is constant). Thus it can be suggested, (1) To the School. It is recommended that the school pay attention to the student learning environment because the results of the study prove that there is a significant influence between learning achievement and the learning environment, (2) To Parents. Parents of students are advised to create a conducive learning environment for children at home so that children can learn well

International business networks through social media : case study of a cleantech SME

The extensive use of digital technology, especially social media have fundamentally transformed the way we communicate, collaborate, consume, create, and share information. Social media are no longer platform used by individuals and consumers but also used by big, medium- as well as small-sized companies worldwide. Social media are nowadays a part of companies internationalization strategy because it allows companies to perform several business functions. However, there is a lack of research on understanding how SMEs can utilize social media in internationalization. Thus the objective of this research is to explore the importance of SM in SMEs' internationalization process. More specifically, the objective of the thesis is to examine how social media can be used as a network building channel or tool in SME's internationalization process. The objectives of the research will be achieved through an intensive single case study research of an international cleantech Finnish SME. The empirical research was conducted through semi-structured interviews. Altogether seven semi-structured interviews were conducted in the case company in December 2019. The interviewees consisted of managers and employees. An inductive approach was adopted in the research, and the data were analyzed based on the thematic analysis. The study reveals that social media can be used as a supportive tool for SMEs to build and maintain international business networks. Also, the research reveals that there are three different mechanisms, which show in practical how social media enable SMEs to build new international business networks and what these, in turn, bring to the SME. Based on the findings, a model was created that combines both the micro and macro levels of a company. The results of the study, as well as the model developed, will help SMEs to use social media more effectively for maintaining and forming international network relations
