Amazon's initiative transforming a non-contact society : Digital disruption leads the way to stakeholder capitalization
2021
Contrary to the decisive role of R&D centered on information and communication technology (ICT) in the digital economy, its excessive expansion has resulted in declining productivity due to the two-faced nature of ICT. Consequently, the novel concept emerges of innovation that maintains sustainable growth by harnessing the vigor of soft innovation resources (SIRs). Pioneering endeavors can be observed at the forefront of the global ICT leaders. World R&D leader Amazon has been harnessing the power of users that seek SIRs. This functions as a virtuous cycle, leading to the transformation of R&D by fusing a unique R&D system with a sophisticated financing system. With this orchestration, Amaz…
Mobilās tehnoloģijas 2. tipa diabēta ārstēšanas procesa efektīvitātes pārraudzībai
2020
Bakalaura darba tēma: 2. tipa diabēta pacientu medikamentozas ārstēšanas procesa digitāla pārraudzība. Otrā tipa diabēts ir hroniska saslimšana, kam raksturīga insulīna neefektīva darbība un hiperglikēmija. 2. tipa diabēta slimnieku skaits pasaulē mērāms simtos miljonos (2019. gadā - 463 miljoni), un skaitlis turpina pieaugt. Nosakot pacientiem medikamentozo ārstēšanu, ir jāveic regulāra, multimodālā pārraudzība, izvērtējot subjektīvo un objektīvo faktoru kopumu ar mērķi noteikt, vai pacientam ir aizdomas par medikamentu blakņu rašanu, ārstēšanas efektivitātes pazemināšanu un komplikāciju veidošanu. Šāda digitāla sistēma spētu ne tikai noteikt šos faktorus, atvieglot ārstēšanu, bet arī nodr…
A New Perspective on the Textile and Apparel Industry in the Digital Transformation Era
2022
The textile and apparel (fashion) industry has been influenced by developments in societal socio-cultural and economic structures. Due to a change in people’s preferences from economic functionality to supra-functionality beyond economic value, the fashion industry is at the forefront of digitalization. The growing digitalization in the fashion industry corresponds to digital fashion, which can satisfy the rapid shift in consumers’ preferences. This paper explores the evolving con-cept of innovations in digital fashion in the textile and apparel industry. Specifically, it centers on the evaluation of Amazon’s digital fashion initiatives, which have made the platform the Un…
Digikehitysjohtajan tehtävissä tarvittavat kompetenssit : laadullinen tutkimus
2017
Tämän tutkimuksen tarkoituksena on selvittää kirjallisuuskatsauksen ja empiirisen tutkimuksen avulla: mitä kompetensseja digikehitysjohtajan (eng. Chief Digital Officer, CDO) tehtävissä tarvitaan? Digitalisaatio on Mooren lain aikaansaama teknologian kehittymisen ilmiö, joka saa aikaan muutoksia, niin yksilö-, yritys- kuin yhteiskuntatasoilla. Yritysten näkökulmasta siihen liittyy keskeisesti digitaalinen transformaatio, jossa teknologian mahdollisuuksia pyritään hyödyntämään yrityksessä digitalisoinnin avulla. Digitaalinen transformaatio vaikuttaa yrityksiin monella tavalla, ja sen hyödyt ovat parhaiten nähtä-vissä asiakaskokemuksessa, prosesseissa ja liiketoimintamalleissa. Transformaatio…
Lipodepsipeptides from Pseudomonas syringae are partially proteolyzed and are not absorbed by humans: An in vitro study
2008
There are some concerns about the use of Pseudomonas-based products as biocontrol agents because of the hemolytic activity shown by their metabolites. The effects of Pseudomonas lipodepsipeptides (LDPs) on mammals via ingestion and the LDP degradation during the digestion and intestinal permeability have not been evaluated. In this research, the susceptibility of different LDPs to degradation was assayed with enzymatic gastrointestinal digestion, and intestinal permeability to LDPs was investigated in an in vitro system based on an intestinal cell layer system. Results demonstrated that trypsin and chymotrypsin hydrolyze up to 50% of the various LDPs, and that proteolysis was further increa…
Bridging the Gaps: Literacy, Media Literacy Education, and Critical Digital Social Work
2021
Drawing from literacy studies and research in media literacy education, this article contends that a series of conceptual gaps need to be bridged in order to have a better understanding of how these traditions can contribute to redefining the field of digital social work. The field of digital social work should move towards a more critical-oriented dimension so that digital media and the internet should not simply be considered (as is often the case), as mere tools to improve the professionality of social workers, but rather as life environments and systems of representation shaping individuals’ identities and social relationships.
Development of ultrasound-assisted digestion methods for the determination of toxic element concentrations in ash samples by ICP-OES
2011
The present thesis introduces several ultrasound-assisted digestion methods developed for the determination of toxic element concentrations in ash samples by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES). Ultrasound-assisted digestion is a quite new technique used for sample pre-treatment purposes, especially in difficult sample matrixes. Elements determined are As, Ba, Co, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb, Sb, Sr, V, and Zn. Most of the elements determined exist at a trace or ultra trace level in ashes and most are potential risks in the environment or human body even at low concentrations. Most of the selected elements can be determined directly by ICP-OES, but for the determination of…
The balanced digitalization and digital security : Case of regional authorities
2019
The emerging digital infrastructure enables the public authorities to shape their processes and to create attractive digital services for the citizens and the business actors. The public processes, services and infrastructure, however, engage with global and local public and private digital infrastructure and service providers. The complex comprehensiveness of the digital infrastructure and the services challenges the public authorities and create new types of security risks. The achieving of the benefits of the digitalization of public processes and services without increasing security risks requires the adopting of novel approaches to digital security. The paper refers to a framework that…
Human Digital Twins in Acquiring Information About Human Mental Processes for Cognitive Mimetics
2022
Modern information technology makes it possible to redesign the ways people work. In the future, machines can carry out intelligence-requiring tasks, which previously were done by people. It is thus good to develop methodologies for designing intelligent systems. An example of such methods is cognitive mimetics, i.e. imitating human information processing. Today, machines cannot by themselves navigate in archipelagos. However, the fact that people can take care of ship steering and navigation means that there is an information process, which makes it possible to navigate ships. This information process takes place inside the minds of navigating people. If we are able to explicate the inform…
