IoT -based adversarial attack's effect on cloud data platform services in a smart building context
2020
IoT sensors and sensor networks are widely employed in businesses. The common problem is a remarkable number of IoT device transactions are unencrypted. Lack of correctly implemented and robust defense leaves the organization's IoT devices vulnerable to numerous cyber threats, such as adversarial and man-in-the-middle attacks or malware infections. A perpetrator can utilize adversarial examples when attacking machine learning (ML) models, such as convolutional neural networks (CNN) or deep neural networks (DNN) used, e.g., in DaaS cloud data platform service of smart buildings. DaaS cloud data platform's function in this study is to connect data from multiple IoT sensors, databases, private…
Pilvipalveluiden käyttö
2017
Tämä tutkielma perehtyy pilvipalveluihin, niiden käyttäjäryhmiin sekä syihin, miksi pilvipalveluita käytetään. Pilvipalvelut ovat internetin yli tarjottavia laitteita ja ohjelmistoja, joihin on samanaikainen pääsy eri puolilta maailmaa. Kaikilla on mahdollisuus hyödyntää pilvipalveluiden tuomia etuja niin teknisesti kuin taloudellisestikin. Mobiililaitteiden ja langattoman nettiyhteyden lisääntyvän suosion sekä koko ajan kasvavan datamäärän myötä myös pilvipalveluiden käyttö on laajentunut viime vuosina paljon. Pilvipalvelut tuovat paljon hyötyjä, jotka houkuttelevat lisää käyttäjiä. Toisaalta pilvipalveluiden varjopuolena on turvallisuus, joka mietityttää monia käyttäjiä. The usage of clou…
El alertador fiable como notificador de contenido ¿ilícito? en la red
2021
La actual Comisión Europea quiere una “Europa adaptada a la era digital” en esta década. Y para alcanzar esta plena integración digital, se quiere situar la tecnología al servicio de las personas, lograr una economía digital justa y competitiva, y obtener una sociedad más abierta, democrática y sostenible. Con base en los dos últimos puntos, el pasado el 15 de diciembre de 2020 se presentaron sendas propuestas legislativas, que abordan cuestiones que interactúan entre sí y actualizan el marco regulatorio de las reglas de internet. En particular, se trata de la Propuesta de Reglamento del Parlamento Europeo y del Consejo sobre mercados disputables y equitativos en el sector digital (Ley de M…
Public-service provision in clientelist political settlements: Lessons from Ghana's urban water sector
2015
The politics of public-service delivery continues to be neglected under the supposedly more context-sensitive post-Washington Consensus. Using interviews and documentary evidence from Ghana, this article provides an account of the networks of political interference and informal practices in Ghana's public water utility. It argues that, in order to understand why private-sector participation succeeds or fails and why similar arrangements have different outcomes across developing countries, we need to examine the effects of the informal institutional context, particularly the country-specific political settlement in which public-service provision operates.
L'accès des ménages aux services dans l'espace périurbain francilien
2008
The access of populations to services, out of the dense urban centres, is marked by the retreat of the services of proximity to which populations and local councillors appear particularly attached. However, in peri-urban spaces, this remote setting of the resources compared to the populations is the result of the generalized adoption of the automobile standard for mobility and accessibility. That has two effects: first a disintegration of the local offer, then a disintegration of the modal alternatives to the private car, because of relocalizations of services and populations which privilege car for their accessibility and call into question their access by other modes like public transport…

Wpływ programu 500+ na poziom życia gospodarstw domowych wychowujących dzieci i jego samoocenę w Polsce w 2016 roku
2018
W artykule przedstawiono wyniki badań gospodarstw domowych w Polsce dotyczących wybranych uwarunkowań samooceny ich sytuacji materialnej. W szczególności uwzględniono wprowadzone w kwietniu 2016 roku świadczenie wychowawcze w ramach programu Rodzina 500+. W tym celu przeprowadzono analizę porównawczą relacji między samooceną a dochodami, wydatkami konsumpcyjnymi i wybranymi charakterystykami gospodarstw zaliczanych do grupy wychowujących dzieci. Analiza wykazała, że istnieje silna zależność oceny własnej sytuacji ekonomicznej gospodarstw zarówno od uzyskiwanych dochodów, jak i wydatków konsumpcyjnych. Dochody z tytułu świadczenia wychowawczego okazały się istotnym czynnikiem poprawy sytuacj…

Principals’ views on changes in the provision of support for learning and schooling in Finland after educational reform
2019
Recently, the large-scale reforms of special education have been carried out in many countries. This study focuses on the latest Finnish reform of special education in compulsory education. As principals lead educational reforms in schools, their role in the implementation of reform is significant. The study explores principals’ views on the changes in support arrangements after the educational reform. We used latent class analysis to identify the subgroups of principals who share similar views. In addition, we examined the relationship between the subgroups and individual, school, and municipal level factors using multinomial logistic regression analysis. Four subgroups were identified: im…
Business models, small firms, and performance in knowledge-intensive based services. A study in the private health sector
2020
During the last years, and due to social and economic changes, the demand for private health services (PHS) is growing. A more significant number of companies appeared under different business model formulas. Besides the traditionally independent professionals, other types of entrepreneurs appeared under associated business. As a result of these changes, there are differences in how these services are provided and their performance. OBJECTIVES: This work is proposed to study the business model effect on small private health service companies' activity and analyze institutions’ and intellectual capital's role in their performance. METHODOLOGY: A qualitative-quantitative mixed method was desi…
