Dynamic capabilities in small and medium manufacturing firms in rural Finland â role of social capital?
During the last decade, there has been wide agreement on the importance of dynamic capabilities on economic performance of firms. Simultaneously an increasing literature suggests that economic dynamics is embedded in social relations and social institutions. In this article, the determinants of dynamic capabilities of small manufacturing Finnish firms will be explored. Specifically we focus on the importance of social capital for firm dynamics. According to analysis, the most important antecedents of dynamic capabilities of firms are its strategy and social capital. Social capital as wide and active participation in network cooperation correlates statistically significantly with the firm dynamics. Social capital increases firm dynamics by enhancing communication and knowledge spillovers in corporate networks. Active networkers gain important information from their bridging and linking ties, such as other firms and public institutions. According to the analysis, the increase of trust in business relations does not correlate with the dynamic capabilities. Instead trust acts as a trigger factor when firms consider their network activities. Keywords: social capital, networks, trust, dynamic capabilities, small and medium sized enterprises

Omakotitalon suunnittelu ja lÀmmitysjÀrjestelmien vertailu
TÀmÀn opinnÀytetyön tavoitteena oli omakotitalon arkkitehtoninen suunnittelu ja miettiÀ siihen eri lÀmmitysjÀrjestelmÀvaihtoehtoja ja niiden mahdollisia yhdistelmiÀ. Työn tilaajilla oli valmiina 890m2 rinnetontti jÀrvinÀköalalla JyvÀskylÀn Pikku-Haukkalassa, jonne suunniteltu 1,5-kerroksinen omakotitalo tullaan myöhemmin rakentamaan. Talon haluttiin kuluttavan mahdollisimman vÀhÀn lÀmpöenergiaa ja hyvien rakenneratkaisujen lisÀksi mietittiin eri vaihtoehtoja lÀmpöenergianlÀhteiksi. Toiveena oli mahdollisimman ympÀristöystÀvÀllinen, edullinen ja helppohoitoinen lÀmmitysjÀrjestelmÀ. Työn lopputuloksena syntyi tilaajia miellyttÀvÀt ratkaisut niin rakennussuunnittelun kuin lÀmpöenergiajÀrjestelmienkin puolesta. Suunnitelmien pohjalta tullaan tekemÀÀn lopulliset rakennuslupapiirustukset ja hakemaan rakennuslupaa.The purpose of this thesis was to detached house architectural design and to con-sider the different heating options and their possible combinations. The client had 890 square metres of hillside with a lake view in a residential area of Pikku-Haukkala, JyvÀskylÀ, where the designed 1.5-storey house later was to be built. The client wished for the house to consume as little as possible of thermal energy and good design solutions too, different options for heat sources were also dis-cussed. The goal was to have a storey house that was affordable, a heating system that was easy to take care of and yet still as environmentally friendly as possible. The result was to find pleasing solutions in building design and thermal energy for the customer Plans will be made on the basis of the final construction drawings and apply for a building permit
Canonical analysis based on scatter matrices.
In this paper, the influence functions and limiting distributions of the canonical correlations and coefficients based on affine equivariant scatter matrices are developed for elliptically symmetric distributions. General formulas for limiting variances and covariances of the canonical correlations and canonical vectors based on scatter matrices are obtained. Also the use of the so called shape matrices in canonical analysis is investigated. The scatter and shape matrices based on the affine equivariant Sign Covariance Matrix as well as the Tyler's shape matrix are considered in more detail. Their finite sample and limiting efficiencies are compared to those of the Minimum Covariance Determinant estimator and S-estimates through theoretical and simulation studies. The theory is illustrated by an example.Canonical correlations; Canonical variables; Canonical vectors; Covariance; Covariance determinant estimator; Determinant estimator; Distribution; Efficiency; Estimator; Functions; Influence function; Matrix; Scatter; Shape matrix; Sign covariance mix; Simulation; Studies; Theory; Tyler's estimate;
''Lapsen etu on aina se ensisijainen, mitÀ me mietitÀÀn.'' : lapsen kasvun ja kehityksen tukeminen HÀmeenlinnan vankilan tutkintavankeuden perheosastolla
OpinnÀytetyömme aiheena oli lapsen kasvun ja kehityksen tukeminen HÀmeenlinnan vankilan tutkintavankeuden perheosastolla. OpinnÀytetyömme tavoitteena oli tuoda nÀkyvÀksi lapsen kasvun ja kehityksen tukeminen vankilan arjessa ja tutkia, kuinka sitÀ toteutetaan tutkintavankeuden perheosastolla. Tavoitteena oli myös tuoda nÀkyvÀksi perheosaston työntekijöiden yhteisiÀ nÀkemyksiÀ siitÀ, miten lapsen kasvua ja kehitystÀ tuetaan perheosastolla. OpinnÀytetyön tarkoituksena oli saada perheosaston työntekijÀt huomioimaan lapsen etua entisestÀÀn.
Toimeksiantajamme oli Kanta-HÀmeen perhetyö ry, joka yllÀpitÀÀ HÀmeenlinnan tutkintavankeuden perheosastoa. Perheosasto on lastensuojeluyksikkö, jonka perustehtÀvÀnÀ on tukea ja turvata lapsen tarpeita vastaava kasvu ja kehitys sekÀ tukea lapsen ja vanhemman vÀlistÀ vuorovaikutusta vanhemman vankeuden aikana. Rajasimme lapsen kasvun ja kehityksen kÀsittelemisen kolmeen ensimmÀiseen ikÀvuoteen, sillÀ tutkintavankeuteen sijoitetun lapsen tulee olla sijoittamishetkellÀ alle kaksivuotias, ja hÀn voi olla korkeintaan kolmevuotiaaksi asti sijoitettuna.
OpinnĂ€ytetyö toteutettiin laadullisena tutkimuksena haastattelemalla viittĂ€ perheosaston työntekijÀÀ. TutkimusmenetelmĂ€nĂ€ oli teemahaastattelu. Haastattelun teemat olivat lapsen arki perheosastolla, lastensuojelun rooli lapsen sijoittamisessa vankilaan sekĂ€ vanhemman tukeminen lapsen kasvatuksessa. Tuloksista voidaan pÀÀtellĂ€, ettĂ€ lapsen kasvua ja kehitystĂ€ on turvaamassa moni asia. Perheosastolla toimitaan lapsen rytmien mukaan ja lapsi yksilöllisesti huomioiden. Lapsen edun toteutumista arvioidaan koko osastojakson ajan, ja lastensuojeluun ollaan yhteydessĂ€, jos huolta herÀÀ. Myös vanhemman tukeminen on tĂ€rkeÀÀ, jotta hĂ€n jaksaa vastata lapsensa tarpeisiin.The subject of this thesis was the child's growth and development orientation in HĂ€meenlinnaâs Prison for pre-trial detention. The aim of our study was to bring visible in everyday life childâs growth and development to support the prison and explore how it is carried out in pre-trial detention ward. The aim was also to bring the common views to the family department employees on how a child's growth and development are taken into account to support the family unit. The purpose of this study was to get the family department employees take into account the child's interests even better.
Our thesis was commissioned by the Kanta-HĂ€me Family Work Association, which maintains the family department HĂ€meenlinnaâs pre-trial detention. Family Department child protection unitâs basic task is to support and secure the corresponding needs of the childâs growth and development, and to support the interaction between child and parent during the parent's imprisonment. Our thesis was limited to a child's growth and development processing of the first three years of age, because the invested custody of the child must be less than two years old when the child is placed and he can be placed for up to three years.
The thesis was carried out as a qualitative research by interviewing five family department employees. The research method was a theme interview. The themes of the interview were the child's everyday family department, the role of the child welfare placement of the child in prison, and supporting parent's upbringing. From the results, it can be concluded that the child's growth and development secures a lot of things. The work in the family department is done according to the child's rhythms and childâs individuality. Assessment of the child's interest is made throughout the department period, and the Child Welfare organization will be contacted if concern arises. Supporting mothers is also important, so that they can respond to the needs of their children
