Opinnäytetyön tarkoituksena oli selvittää haastattelun avulla, mikä saa mielenterveyskuntoutujan aloittamaan vapaaehtoistyön tekemisen, millainen merkitys vapaaehtoistoiminnalla on mielenterveyskuntoutujan arkeen, sekä miten taustaorganisaatio voi tukea vapaaehtoistoimijaa. Yhteistyötahona oli kolmannen sektorin toimija, Mielenterveysyhdistys Helmi ry. Helmi ry on matalan kynnyksen yhdistys, jonka toiminta tapahtuu pääsääntöisesti kahdella Helmi-talolla Helsingissä. Haastateltavat olivat mielenterveyskuntoutujia ja toimivat erilaisissa vapaaehtoistehtävissä Helmi-taloilla.
Opinnäytetyö oli laadullinen tutkimus ja se toteutettiin puolistrukturoidun teemahaastattelun avulla kolmena päivänä Pasilan, sekä Herttoniemen Helmi-taloilla. Haastatteluihin osallistui yhteensä kahdeksan (8) vastaajaa. Kukin haastattelu kesti tunnin. Nauhoitettu aineisto litteroitiin ja vastausten pääkohdat pelkistettiin sisällönanalyysin avulla. Tutkimuskysymykset olivat:
1. Mikä saa mielenterveyskuntoutujan aloittamaan vapaaehtoistoiminnan mielenterveysyhdistyksessä?
2. Mitä vapaaehtoistoiminta merkitsee mielenterveyskuntoutujalle?
3. Millä tavoin Helmi ry voi tukea vapaaehtoistoimijaa?
Tulosten mukaan vapaaehtoistoiminta ja Helmi ry:n toimintaan osallistuminen toimii suurena voimavarana monelle mielenterveyskuntoutujalle. Vapaaehtoistoiminta lisäsi yhteisöllisyyden tunnetta, sen myötävaikutuksesta vapaaehtoistoimija tunsi merkityksellisyyttä sekä sai tärkeitä onnistumisen kokemuksia. Helmi ry voi tukea vapaaehtoistoimijaa riittävällä tiedottamisella, joka tapahtuu erilaisten tiedotusvälineiden, kuten sosiaalisen median, tekstiviestien sekä perinteisen ilmoitustaulun kautta. Haastateltavat toivoivat Helmiltä konkreettista apua, kuten huolellista perehdyttämistä sekä virkistyspäiviä ja pieniä palkintoja työstään.

The aim of this thesis was to produce information about the factors that can motivate a mental health rehabilitator to start working as a volunteer. An interview was used to find out how volunteering affects the daily life of a volunteer and how the organisation can support their volunteers. The cooperation partner was a mental health organisation from the third sector called Helmi ry. Helmi ry offers low-threshold services that mainly take place in two locations in Helsinki, in Pasila and in Herttoniemi. All the interviewees for this thesis were mental health rehabilitators and they all worked as volunteers in Helmi ry.
This thesis was a qualitative research and the material was gathered using a semi-structured interview. The interviews were held on three days at Pasila and at Herttoniemi. Altogether eight (8) volunteers were interviewed. Each interview took an hour and the sessions were recorded. The recorded material was then transcribed and analysed into a simpler form using a content analysis. The main questions on this thesis were as follows:
1. What are the main factors that motivate a mental health rehabilitator to start working a as volunteer in a mental health organisation?
2. What is the meaning of volunteering for a mental health rehabilitator?
3. In which ways can Helmi ry support their volunteers?
According to the answers the conclusion is that volunteering and participating at Helmi ry is very empowering to many mental health rehabilitators. Volunteering added to the feeling of belonging to a community and through volunteering individuals felt important and needed. Volunteering also offered important experiences of succeeding in life. Helmi ry can support their volunteers by communicating efficiently via different news mediums such as social media, text messages and a notice board. The interviewees wished that the support from Helmi would be something concrete such as proper familiarisation, trips and small rewards.

Unveiling the past evolution of the progenitor of the Helmi streams
No full textWe aim to determine unique features that characterise the past evolution of
the progenitor of the Helmi streams through the analysis of star formation
histories (SFHs). From the 5D {\it Gaia} EDR3 dataset, we extracted local
samples of stars dominated by the Helmi streams, the Galactic (thick and thin)
disc, and the local retrograde halo. We did this by identifying regions in a
pseudo-Cartesian velocity space (obtained by setting line-of-sight velocities
to zero), where stars belonging to these components, as identified in samples
with 6D phase-space information, are predominantly found. We made use of an
updated absolute colour-magnitude diagram (CMD) fitting methodology to contrast
the SFHs of these samples to unveil distinct signatures of the past evolution
of a disrupted accreted system: the Helmi streams. To this end, special
attention was given to the correct characterisation of {\it Gaia} completeness
effects and observational errors on the CMD. We further investigated
alternative sample selections to improve the purity of our 5D Helmi stream
catalogues. We find that the progenitor of the Helmi streams experienced an
early star formation that was sustained for longer (until 7--9~Gyr ago) than
for the Milky Way halo (10--11~Gyr ago). As a consequence, half of its stellar
mass was in place ~0.7~Gyr later. The quenching of star formation in the
Helmi stream progenitor ~8~Gyr ago suggests it was accreted by the Milky
Way around this time, in concert with previous estimates based on the dynamics
of the streams.Comment: 6 pages (+1 in appendix), 4 figures (+1 in appendix), accepted for

Origin of the system of globular clusters in the Milky Way
No full textContext . The assembly history experienced by the Milky Way is currently being unveiled thanks to the data provided by the Gaia mission. It is likely that the globular cluster system of our Galaxy has followed a similarly intricate formation path. Aims . To constrain this formation path, we explore the link between the globular clusters and the known merging events that the Milky Way has experienced. Methods . To this end, we combined the kinematic information provided by Gaia for almost all Galactic clusters, with the largest sample of cluster ages available after carefully correcting for systematic errors. To identify clusters with a common origin we analysed their dynamical properties, particularly in the space of integrals of motion. Results . We find that about 40% of the clusters likely formed in situ. A similarly large fraction, 35%, appear to be possibly associated to known merger events, in particular to Gaia -Enceladus (19%), the Sagittarius dwarf galaxy (5%), the progenitor of the Helmi streams (6%), and to the Sequoia galaxy (5%), although some uncertainty remains due to the degree of overlap in their dynamical characteristics. Of the remaining clusters, 16% are tentatively associated to a group with high binding energy, while the rest are all on loosely bound orbits and likely have a more heterogeneous origin. The resulting age–metallicity relations are remarkably tight and differ in their detailed properties depending on the progenitor, providing further confidence on the associations made. Conclusions . We provide a table listing the likely associations. Improved kinematic data by future Gaia data releases and especially a larger, systematic error-free sample of cluster ages would help to further solidify our conclusions
Precise Asteroseismic Ages for the Helmi Streams
No full textThe Helmi streams are remnants of a dwarf galaxy that was accreted by the Milky Way and whose stars now form a distinct kinematic and chemical substructure in the Galactic halo. Precisely age-dating these typically faint stars of extragalactic origin has been notoriously difficult due to the limitations of using only spectroscopic data, interferometry, or coarse asteroseismic measurements. Using observations from NASA’s Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite, we report detailed asteroseismic modeling results for two of the brightest red giants within the Helmi streams, HD 175305 and HD 128279. By modeling the individual oscillation mode frequencies and the spectroscopic properties of both stars, we determine their fundamental properties including mass, radius, and age (τ). We report τ = 11.16 ± 0.91 Gyr for HD 175305 and τ = 12.52 ± 1.05 Gyr for HD 128279, consistent with previously inferred star formation histories for the Helmi streams and the differential chemical abundances between the two stars. With precise ages for individual stream members, our results reinforce the hypothesis that the Helmi streams’ progenitor must have existed at least 12 Gyr ago. Our results also highlight that the ages of metal-poor, α-enhanced red giants can be severely underestimated when inferred using global asteroseismic parameters instead of individual mode frequencies.</p

Characterization and history of the Helmi streams with Gaia DR2
No full textContext. The halo of the Milky Way has long been hypothesized to harbour significant amounts of merger debris. For more than a decade this view has been supported by wide-field photometric surveys which have revealed the outer halo to be lumpy. Aims. The recent release of Gaia DR2 is allowing us to establish that mergers also have been important and possibly built up the majority of the inner halo. In this work we focus on the Helmi streams, a group of streams crossing the solar vicinity and known for almost two decades. We characterize their properties and relevance for the build-up of the Milky Way's halo. Methods. We identify new members of the Helmi streams in an unprecedented dataset with full phase-space information combining Gaia DR2, and the APOGEE DR2, RAVE DR5, and LAMOST DR4 spectroscopic surveys. Based on the orbital properties of the stars, we find new stream members up to a distance of 5 kpc from the Sun, which we characterized using photometry and metallicity information. We also perform N-body experiments to constrain the time of accretion and properties of the progenitor of the streams. Results. We find nearly 600 new members of the Helmi streams. Their HR diagram reveals a broad age range, from ≈ 11 to 13 Gyr, while their metallicity distribution goes from -2.3 to -1.0, and peaks at [Fe/H] ∼ -1.5. These findings confirm that the streams originate in a dwarf galaxy. Furthermore, we find seven globular clusters to be likely associated, and which follow a well-defined age-metallicity sequence whose properties suggest a relatively massive progenitor object. Our N-body simulations favour a system with a stellar mass of ∼10 8 M 1 accreted 5-8 Gyr ago. Conclusions. The debris from the Helmi streams is an important donor to the Milky Way halo, contributing ≈ 15% of its mass in field stars and 10% of its globular clusters
