An efficient cluster-based outdoor user positioning using LTE and WLAN signal strengths

2015

In this paper we propose a novel cluster-based RF fingerprinting method for outdoor user-equipment (UE) positioning using both LTE and WLAN signals. It uses a simple cost effective agglomerative hierarchical clustering with Davies-Bouldin criterion to select the optimal cluster number. The positioning method does not require training signature formation prior to UE position estimation phase. It is capable of reducing the search space for clustering operation by using LTE cell-ID searching criteria. This enables the method to estimate UE positioning in short time with less computational expense. To validate the cluster-based positioning real-time field measurements were collected using readi…

Convolutional neural networks in skin cancer detection using spatial and spectral domain

2019

Skin cancers are world wide deathly health problem, where significant life and cost savings could be achieved if detection of cancer can be done in early phase. Hypespectral imaging is prominent tool for non-invasive screening. In this study we compare how use of both spectral and spatial domain increase classification performance of convolutional neural networks. We compare five different neural network architectures for real patient data. Our models gain same or slightly better positive predictive value as clinicians. Towards more general and reliable model more data is needed and collection of training data should be systematic. peerReviewed

Recommending Serendipitous Items using Transfer Learning

2018

Most recommender algorithms are designed to suggest relevant items, but suggesting these items does not always result in user satisfaction. Therefore, the efforts in recommender systems recently shifted towards serendipity, but generating serendipitous recommendations is difficult due to the lack of training data. To the best of our knowledge, there are many large datasets containing relevance scores (relevance oriented) and only one publicly available dataset containing a relatively small number of serendipity scores (serendipity oriented). This limits the learning capabilities of serendipity oriented algorithms. Therefore, in the absence of any known deep learning algorithms for recommend…

How do rural areas profile in the futures dreams by the Finnish youth?

2016

Abstract Demographic trends do not give much hope for rural regions in developed economies. Many studies prescribe rural futures as manifestations of consumption of the countryside by an urban majority. However, many of these macro-images and typologies lack explicit micro-agency. This article illustrates what are the expectations from personal futures in rural areas, where specifically and by whom. The respondents of a national survey represented the Finnish youth, who described their dream future in 2030 in terms of livelihood, accommodation and lifestyle recipe. Analysis of the dreams resulted in distinct regional profiles. Urban-adjacent rural areas are profiled as places for a cosy lif…

Agentic perspective on fostering work-related learning

2017

Despite the increased recognition of the role that professional agency plays in work-related learning, little is known about what supports it. Based on current theoretical notions, the first purpose of this paper is to show that professional agency is closely intertwined with work-related learning. The second purpose is to introduce some main principles that promote professional agency and describe three work-related training settings that are aimed at fostering learning by taking into account agentic perspectives. These complementary settings include an identity coaching programme, a leadership coaching programme, and a work conference. Based on the qualitative meta-synthesis, the paper fu…

Riconfigurare i territori metroplitani. Forme di urbanizzazione e fenomeni di pressione insediativa sui sistemi di interesse naturale in Sicilia

2018

The consumption of the soil due to urbanization it is a phenomena already for many years under observations, but of which only the scientific environment has noticed the elevated environmental impact progress. From a disciplinary point of view, is possible to identify a line of research focusing on the analysis and identification of new morphologies of urbanization and on the interaction among different settlement patterns coexisting in a specific context. This reading complements with the scientific production about the forms of settlement pressure on environmental systems, producing change and deterioration on natural ecosystems and loss of biodiversity. A necessary reference for this lin…

Terremoti e ricostruzioni tra XVII e XVIII secolo

2012

Il volume è relativo agli atti dei Seminari internazionali tenuti a Lisbona (10 ottobre) e a Noto (24 ottobre)nel 2008. In particolare l'opera contiene saggi di autori nazionali e internazionali inerenti ricerche sulle ricostruzioni dopo i terremoti avvenuti tra Seicento e Settecento in Sicilia e a Malta (1693 Val di Noto; 1726 Palermo; Messina 1783) e a Lisbona (1755)

The sculpture of tick-borne diseases media coverage in the United States and China

2017

Media’s ability to enhance the salience of certain topics for the public and affect governmental policy-setting processes is widely recognized.  This is particularly evident in health communication, where newspapers are one of the most important sources of health information. This study compares media depictions of tick-borne disease in the United States and China, attempting to enhance newspaper influence in health information delivery in both countries. The United States and China are experiencing an increase in tick-borne diseases and have vastly different media landscapes.  To investigate US and Chinese newspaper coverage of tick-borne diseases, a content analysis was conducted of four …

Diritto del lavoro e Terzo settore. Occupazione e welfare partenariale dopo il d.lgs. n. 117/2017

2020

La riforma del Terzo settore –di cui il d.lgs. 3 luglio 2017, n. 117 costituisce il baricentro – ha segnato un netto punto di discontinuità rispetto alla tradizionale considerazione delle iniziative solidaristiche della società civile come fenomeno residuale rispetto all’intervento dello Stato e del mercato. La codificazione di un nuovo diritto degli Enti del Terzo settore, finalmente dotato di linee di disciplina autonome e uniformi, ha infatti fornito una precisa identità giuridica ad una realtàche per molti anni ha disposto di una matrice definitoria soltanto sul piano socio-culturale. Lo studio esamina le innovazioni legislative nella prospettiva lavoristica, con l’obiettivo di verifica…
