How to apply privacy by design in osint and big data analytics?
2019
In a world where technology grows exponentially, more information is available to us every day. States and their governments have collected information on their citizens for a long time now. On the other hand, people give out more and more personal information voluntarily through social media. Information available on the Internet is easier to analyze with modern technologies and the original source of information is also easier to track down. Information is available to all of us and that information can be used to investigate personal data, defeat competitors in a corporate world, solve crimes or even win wars. This study analyses open source intelligence (OSINT) and big data analytics (B…
An IPMSM torque/weight and torque/moment of inertia ratio optimization
2014
In this paper, a torque/weight and torque/moment of inertia ratio optimization procedure for interior permanent magnet syncronous motors (IPMSMs) is presented. More in detail, a performance comparison between several IPMSM rotor structures has been carried out in order to determine the optimum geometry that can maximize the torque/weight and torque/moment of inertia ratios. A commercial motor, with known electrical and mechanical characteristics, has been taken as reference. Its rotor structure has been modified several times, obtaining different rotor geometries and, therefore, many IPMSM models with different electrical and mechanical characteristics. The finite element method (FEM) analy…
Assessment of Knowledge, Attitudes, and Propensity towards HPV Vaccine of Young Adult Students in Italy
2020
Background: Human Papillomavirus (HPV) is a common sexually transmitted infection (STI), representing the main cause of genital warts and cervical cancer. This cross-sectional study evaluated knowledge and attitudes about HPV infection, related diseases, and prevention and propensity towards HPV vaccine among undergraduate students. Methods: An online and written survey about HPV and its prevention, targeted to young adults of both genders, was addressed to students attending health sciences and other schools at Universities of Genoa and Bari. Results: The overall median knowledge and attitude scores were 56.3% (25&ndash
Reflecting on Work Values with Young Unemployed Adults in Finland
2019
In this article, we explore the internal conversations about the work values of young unemployed adults in Finland. We draw on the theoretical concept of internal conversation by Margaret Archer in order to shift the focus from the individual work values to the interplay between subjective concerns and structural circumstances. The data consist of six group interviews conducted among 29 young unemployed adults. We argue that the internal conversations on work values of young unemployed adults constitute five significant concerns: self-realization and opportunity to contribute to society; sufficient income to live independently; social expectations; challenges of finding employment; and unsu…
Longitudinal associations among cardiorespiratory fitness and objectively measured moderate-to-vigorous physical activity of Finnish schoolchildren
2022
Children and adolescents' engagement in physical activity has decreased in most Western countries across the previous three decades. Therefore, increasing number of researchers are investigating antecedents of physical activity engagement in childhood and adolescence. This longitudinal study investigated if cardiorespiratory fitness measured at Grade 5 explained objectively measured moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) at grade 7. nonPeerReviewed
Measuring Performance in the Luxury Industry: Is there a Difference in Performance Between the top and Bottom Players in the Industry?
2021
Abstract This paper presents a methodology that consists of a Z-score function applied on a set of indicators for the luxury industry and then standardized to obtain a ranking of the companies on a scale between 10 and 100. To measure the performance for the top 5 LVMH, Estee Lauder, Richemont, Kering, Essilor Luxottica, and bottom 5 Aeffe, Tribhovandas, Van de Velde, Mulberry, Trinity companies (based on Deloitte global ranking in 2019) in the luxury industry and to unveil which are the performance drivers. By applying this methodology it can be made a comparison in performance between the top and the bottom companies in the luxury industry. The performance score is calculated for ten year…

Oglekļa krājumu ģeogrāfiskās izplatības raksturojums augsnes virskārtā lauksaimniecībā izmantojamās zemēs Latvijā, LUCAS 2009 projekta piemērā
2016
Sauszemes sistēmā augsne ir pasaulē lielākā oglekļa krātuve, kam ir liela nozīme augsnes kvalitātes nodrošināšanā un pārtikas ražošanā. Organiskā oglekļa samazināšanās ir viens no augsnes degradācijas riskiem. Turklāt oglekļa piesaiste augsnei ir ļoti nozīmīga loma klimata mainības mazināšanā, tādēļ ir nozīmīgi noskaidrot, kādi ir organiskā oglekļa krājumi un dinamika. Maģistra darbā veiktais pētījums ir aktuāls, jo Latvijā līdz šim nav analizēti un raksturoti augsnes organiskā oglekļa krājumi, to izplatības ietekmējošie faktori augsnes virskārtā lauksaimniecībā izmantojamās zemēs, turklāt darba ietvaros izstrādātie metodiskie risinājumi sniedz iespējas nākotnē modelēt augsnes organiskā ogl…
Latvijas ekosistēmas analīze, izmantojot satelītu spektrālo informāciju
2020
Lai novērotu izmaiņas zemes virsmas ekosistēmās un veiktu to analīzi reālajā laikā, jāiegulda daudz laika un darba, kā arī, manuāli šāda analīze nav iespējama pilnīgi visai Latvijas teritorijai. Šī maģistra darba “Latvijas ekosistēmas analīze, izmantojot satelītu spektrālo informāciju” mērķis, ir izpētīt vai un kā ar satelītu spektru sniegto informāciju iespējams veikt automatizētu zemes virsmas kartēšanu un ekosistēmu analīzi. Darba ietvaros izpētīts pieejamo brīvpieejas datu satelītu klāsts, izpētīti un analizēti citi, līdzīgu problēmu risinoši nozares pētījumi, veikta zemes virsmas indeksu un spektru apvienojumu praktiska analīze un izstrādāts veiksmīgs prototips algoritmiem Latvijas ter…
