Det förebyggande arbetet för att unga inte ska falla offer för grooming i sociala medier : En kvalitativ intervjustudie med hälsokunskapslärare om hur grooming tas upp i finlandssvenska åk 7–9
No full textSyfte: Magisteravhandlingens syfte är att undersöka hur i synnerhet hälsokunskapsundervisningen men även skolkontexten i allmänhet kan öka ungas medvetenhet och kunskap gällande grooming som sker via sociala medier. Detta undersöks genom att intervjua hälsokunskapslärare i finlandssvenska åk 7–9 för att se på hur läroämnet hälsokunskap och den övriga skolkontexten kan fungera förebyggande mot att unga inte faller offer för grooming i sociala medier. Därtill undersöks vilken inverkan läraren har på undervisningen om grooming samt vilka faktorer som kan inverka på huruvida elever tar till sig denna undervisning.
Avhandlingens frågeställningar lyder som följande:
1. På vilket sätt integreras ämnet grooming riktat mot unga i sociala medier i hälsokunskapsundervisningen i åk 7–9?
2. Vilka faktorer kan påverka lärarens undervisning om grooming?
3. Vilka faktorer inverkar på hur eleverna tar emot undervisningen kring grooming?
4. Hur ser skolans roll ut i det förebyggande arbetet mot att unga inte ska falla offer för grooming i sociala medier?
Metod: I avhandlingen används en kvalitativ datainsamlingsmetod genom semistrukturerade intervjuer. Tio hälsokunskapslärare som undervisar i finlandssvenska åk 7–9 intervjuades utifrån en på förhand strukturerad intervjuguide.
Resultat: Avhandlingens resultat indikerar på att grooming integreras i hälsokunskapsundervisningen genom olika sätt att ta grooming till tals, främst i åk 7, genom olika undervisningsformer samt i interaktion med andra teman. Faktorer som kan påverka lärarens undervisning om grooming var lärarens ålder, lärarens eget intresse, lärarens syn på hur viktigt det är att tala om grooming, lärarens bekvämlighet att tala om grooming samt lärarens förmåga att ta stöd från kollegor. Påverkningsfaktorer hos elevernas mottaglighet till undervisningen om grooming kunde konstateras vara elevernas ålder, avsaknad av verklighetsförankring samt tidigare diskussion om grooming hemma. Skolans förebyggande roll kunde utgöras av att ordna temadagar eller temaveckor, ämnesövergripande undervisning, anordnande av samarbetsnätverk, elevers föräldrars engagemang samt möjlighet till fortbildning för lärarna.
Diskussion: Avhandlingens resultat diskuteras i förhållande till den teoretiska referensramen samt tidigare forskning
Adoption av finansiella ledningskontrollsystem i finska startups – En fallstudie av fem SaaS-företag
No full textThis thesis explores the adoption of financial Management Control Systems (MCS) in Finnish startups. The purpose of this study is to theoretically contribute to the knowledge of MCS research in startup context. Additional to the purpose, this thesis can be of value to entrepreneurs, managers, and other practitioners, as well as to the startup agenda of public interest and investors. The purpose is fulfilled by providing insight into the specifics of the adoption, design, and utilization of the financial MCS, by deepening the existing understanding of the contextual dynamics behind financial MCS adoption, and by shedding light on the interplay between financial MCS and other categories MCS adoption as well as on the financial MCS interplay with strategy.
The study was conducted as a qualitative multi-case study of five Finnish Software as a Service (SaaS) companies. The case companies chosen were in the same industry, had ambitious growth aspirations and had the possibility for fast growth. Furthermore, the case companies all had a founder in the CEO position. The similarities in context enabled data saturation and transferability of results. The primary research method was semi-constructed interview of the founder-CEOs. The theory of the study consists primarily of international academic journals on accounting and control with a focus on articles relating to MCS in startup context. The collected data was continuously reflected with theory throughout the interviews and processing of data. The empirical findings were analyzed in relation to the theory.
The results are in line with previous research. However, operating budget, the most adopted financial MCS in previous studies, has no operative importance in the case companies. Cash flow projections and sales projections are the most adopted financial MCS. Only basic financial MCS are utilized. This is explained by early life cycle stage of the case companies. The contextual factors effecting the adoption include growth and internationalization, private equity, founder-CEO, and culture of innovation. Previous research suggests there may be resistance to adopt formal controls. No evidence of this is present. As to interplay between financial MCS and other categories MCS adoption, this is modest end steered by practical needs. Financial MCS interplay with strategy is present in one case company and it is expressed between financial modelling and business model iteration. The case companies’ adoption of financial MCS resembles a shared narrative.
Main finding of the study is the vast utilization of software systems in Finnish startups. The systems appear to have developed from a supporting role into taking the role of factual MCS. Several possibilities for further study relating to the findings are presented
Caring for Health, Bodies, and Development. Teaching New Spiritual Practices in the Church of Sweden
No full textOver the last fifty years a plethora of new spiritual practices has emerged in the Church of Sweden. Many fall within a category of holistic practices, aimed at engaging body, soul, and spirit. Among these, two categories are dominant: meditations and movement-based bodily practices. Some of these practices are contested by other Christians on a theological basis. The article asks: Who are the new ritual specialists teaching these practices? Why do they teach these practices? Why in the church? By using a bottom-up perspective and studying practices which lie outside the traditional Christian religious rites, which has been the focus in research on the Church of Sweden, we find that the holistic practices are framed in a culture of care, focusing on bodily and spiritual wellbeing. We suggest that the predominance of women in body-movement practices should be understood as a generational feature rather than as an expression of the feminization of the church. Many of the leaders are women who were part of new spiritual movements as well as body-mind practices and various forms of dance in gyms and yoga studios in the 1990s and early 2000s, finding an openness to bringing their knowledge into the church
Ledarens erfarenhet om stöd till vårdare som blivit “second victim”
No full textBakgrund: ”Second victim” är en vårdare som varit med om en traumatisk incident
och som efter detta känner emotionellt lidande samt obehag. Även om begreppet
har använts i drygt 20 år, är det fortfarande relativt okänt för vårdpersonal.
Syfte: Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka ledarens stöd till vårdare som
blivit ”second victim”.
Metod: I studien använde man den kvalitativa metoden. En enkätundersökning
gjordes bland biträdande avdelningsskötare och avdelningsskötare på Ålands hälso-
och sjukvård (ÅHS). Sedan tillämpades en kvalitativ innehållsanalys.
Resultat: Enkätundersökningen besvarades av 33.3%. Begreppet ”second victim”
var endast bekant för en av respondenterna. Ledarna får reda om någon i
sjukvårdspersonalen blivit utsatt för en traumatisk incident genom sitt
rapporteringssystem Flexite, av vårdaren själv, hens kollega eller på
avdelningsmöte. Trots att majoriteten av ledarna inte visste vad begreppet ”second
victim” betyder och inte har någon verksamhetsmodell som de kan ha som stöd
visste de flesta av dem hurdant stöd den utsatte behövde samt hur man följer upp
att stödet fås.
Konklusioner: Trots att begreppet ”second victim” använts i vården sedan år 2000
är det ännu okänt för många. Det skulle vara viktigt att redan i grundutbildningen
för blivande vårdare ta upp begreppet ”second victim” och förklara att då man
arbetar inom vården med människor kan det hända fel. Då det sker finns det hjälp
att få och man skall inte behöva bli ensam med upplevelsen. Därför rekommenderas
fortbildning åt ledarna på ÅHS

Modererar sexuell kommunikation sambandet mellan svartsjuka och parförhållandekvalitet? : En granskning av parförhållandekvalitet, sexuell kommunikation, svartsjuka och deras korrelat
No full textParrelationer av hög kvalitet är viktiga för vårt välbefinnande och vår psykiska hälsa. Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka parförhållandekvalitet, sexuell kommunikation, svartsjuka, och korrelaten kön, ålder och parförhållandelängd samt att undersöka huruvida sexuell kommunikation kunde moderera förhållandet mellan svartsjuka och parförhållandekvalitet. Studien gjordes med ett finskt, populationsbaserat sampel. Interaktionen och associationerna undersöktes med multipla regressionsanalyser. Sexuell kommunikation modererade förhållandet mellan svartsjuka och parförhållandekvalitet, så att sambandet mellan svartsjuka och parförhållandekvalitet var svagare bland deltagare som hade tryggare sexuell kommunikation. Både tryggare sexuell kommunikation och högre poäng på svartsjuka hade ett samband med högre parförhållandekvalitet. Gällande korrelaten, så hade kön samband med svartsjuka, så att kvinnor i genomsnitt hade högre svartsjukepoäng än män. Ålder hade ett negativt samband med parförhållandekvalitet och sexuell kommunikation och ett positivt samband med svartsjuka, medan parförhållandelängd hade ett positivt samband med parförhållandekvalitet och ett negativt samband med sexuell kommunikation. Resultaten tydde på att sexuell kommunikation kunde vara länkat med sambandet mellan svartsjuka och parförhållandekvalitet, att sexuell kommunikation och svartsjuka hade samband med högre parförhållandekvalitet och att sambanden mellan korrelaten på nyckelutfallsvariablerna är mångfacetterade. Implikationer av resultaten och förslag på framtida forskning diskuteras.High-quality romantic relationships are important for our well-being and mental health, and several factors may relate to them. The aims of this study were to examine relationship quality, sexual communication, jealousy, and the correlates gender, age, and relationship length as well as to investigate if sexual communication could moderate the relationship between jealousy and relationship quality. The study was conducted using a large, population-based Finnish sample. The interaction and the associations were examined using multilevel regression models. Sexual communication moderated the relationship between jealousy and relationship quality, so that the association between jealousy and relationship quality was weaker among participants with more comfortable sexual communication. Further, both more comfortable sexual communication and higher jealousy scores were associated with higher relationship quality. Regarding the correlates, gender was associated with jealousy, so that women had higher jealousy scores than men. Age was negatively related to relationship quality and sexual communication and positively related to jealousy, whereas relationship length was positively related to relationship quality and negatively related to sexual communication. The results indicated that sexual communication could relate to the association between jealousy and relationship quality, that sexual communication and jealousy were linked to higher relationship quality, and that the associations of the correlates on the key outcome variables are multifaceted . The implications of the findings and future research are addressed
GDPR Compliance through the Lens of Internal Marketing : A Novel Approach to Fostering Perceived Organizational Support in Finnish Higher Education
No full textThis study delves into how Finnish Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) navigate the challenges of complying with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). It examines how Internal Marketing (IM) strategies can effectively address these challenges, especially in light of GDPR's vast scope and HEI's intricate task of ensuring accountability, managing data breaches, and defining private data. A qualitative approach was employed to tackle the pressing demand for enhanced knowledge and awareness in compliance, incorporating comprehensive literature reviews and interviews with professors, Ph.D. students, and university lecturers. Despite constraints related to the sample size, this research yielded insightful findings.
The study found a notable disparity in GDPR awareness among faculty, underscoring a need for HEIs to deploy targeted communication and customized educational initiatives. These IM strategies have shown promise in enhancing the institution's perceived organizational support (POS), thus ensuring that faculty across all knowledge levels are informed and actively participating in GDPR compliance efforts.
Moreover, the study sheds light on the transformative potential of embedding GDPR compliance into an institution's culture. Establishing a culture that prioritizes data protection not only aids in achieving compliance but also significantly reduces the risk of data breaches. Strategic IM practices could become essential tools in this endeavor, guiding HEIs through the intricate landscape of GDPR compliance and beyond.
In wrapping up, the study acknowledges the inherent challenges in conducting such research, particularly the constraints posed by our sample size. Nevertheless, the result of the analysis strongly advocates the novel application of IM practices as a crucial strategy for bolstering GDPR compliance among Finnish HEIs. There is a compelling case for further exploration into the implementation and impact of specific IM strategies across different educational settings. Such efforts will deepen the comprehension of GDPR compliance within the academic sphere

Challenges Regarding the Concept of Competent Authority in Incident Management
This article examines the concept of competent authority from the perspective of incident management and seeks to contribute to leadership research from a perspective that has not been examined before. The aim of this research is to describe how a competent authority is defined in an abnormal incident that produces effects in multiple authorities’ areas of competency and demands immediate management and coordination measures. The data was gathered from legislation related to incident management, as well as guidelines and reports produced by authorities. The results indicate how defining a competent authority in an abnormal incident is challenging and unstructured, and why having a definition is necessary for fulfilling management responsibility in an environment that emphasizes comprehensive security
Machine learning base tissue probability attenuation correction for neurological PET/MR
No full textPositron Emission Tomography - Magnetic Resonance Imaging (PET-MR) is a promising imaging modality for neurological disorders, offering valuable insights into brain function and structure simultaneously. However, accurate attenuation correction remains a crucial challenge in PET-MR imaging due to the absence of direct measures of attenuation coefficients within the Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) image. The method Tissue Probability-based Attenuation Correction (TPBAC) has shown promise in addressing this issue by integrating high-resolution anatomical information from brain MRI with tissue probability maps derived from segmentation techniques.
To validate the machine learning-based TPBAC (ML-TPBAC) method, a study is conducted using data acquired from Philips MR-RT System using the same imaging protocol (DIXON). The repeatability of ML-TPBAC is assessed by analyzing variations the created pseudo-CT (pCT) images. Additionally, quantitative measures are computed to evaluate ML-TPBAC's performance against gold-standard CT. Finally, improvements to the current pipeline are evaluated and proposed.
In this study we explore the effectiveness of the MRAC when utilizing the sinus region information as a separate input to the model. The result would help us to improve the model and make the pipeline simpler and more effective. It is also studied the model with single input, distinct from the traditional DIXON in phase and out phase image approach to check the feasibility and effectiveness of the single input.
Erasing the sinus information from the modeling process increased the efficiency of the method, which resulted in an increase of the prediction accuracy from the model of the skull structures. With this the MRAC pipeline was set to perfection. Not only that, using the pipeline with either In-phase images (IP) or Out-phase images (OP) resulted in the best accuracy for IP images which demonstrated the importance of image choice. On the other hand, investigations of the MRAC volumes showed that it was with the IP-only images that higher bone volumes were captured, which give evidence that they are superior in representing the structures of bones
