Localization of Multi-Class On-Road and Aerial Targets Using mmWave FMCW Radar
2021
mmWave radars play a vital role in autonomous systems, such as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), unmanned surface vehicles (USVs), ground station control and monitoring systems. The challenging task when using mmWave radars is to estimate the accurate angle of arrival (AoA) of the targets, due to the limited number of receivers. In this paper, we present a novel AoA estimation technique, using mmWave FMCW radars operating in the frequency range 77–81 GHz by utilizing the mechanical rotation. Rotating the radar also increases the field of view in both azimuth and elevation. The proposed method estimates the AoA of the targets, using only a single transmitter and receiver. The measurements are…
Spatial Cognition 2020/1: Book of abstracts : August 2-4, 2021, University of Latvia
2021
Spatial Cognition is concerned with the acquisition, development, representation, organization, and use of knowledge about spatial objects in real, virtual or hybrid environments and processed by human or artificial agents. Spatial Cognition includes research from different fields insofar as they are concerned with cognitive agents and space, such as cognitive and developmental psychology, linguistics, computer science, geography, cartography, philosophy, neuroscience, and education. Research issues in the field range from the investigation of human spatial cognition to mobile robot navigation, including topics such as wayfinding, spatial planning, spatial learning, internal and external re…
Koulun kahlitsemat - arjen selviytyjät : näkökulmia kielen oppimiseen
2003
This article discusses written narratives about foreign language learning. The stories were collected in a contest organised by KVS Foundation (Kansanvalistusseura), a Finnish organisation for adult education. Over 500 texts were sent for the contest, representing writers of both sexes, various language backgrounds and many professions. The age of writers varied from 8 to 80. In this article we discuss the nature of the data and the creation of a data base. Some preliminary observations are reported and a case study discussed. The relation between the academic and everyday views of language learning is also dealt with. peerReviewed
Targeting the tumor mutanome for personalized vaccination therapy
2012
Next generation sequencing enables identification of immunogenic tumor mutations targetable by individualized vaccines. In the B16F10 melanoma system as pre-clinical proof-of-concept model, we found a total of 563 non-synonymous expressed somatic mutations. Of the mutations we tested, one third were immunogenic. Immunization conferred in vivo tumor control, qualifying mutated epitopes as source for effective vaccines.

Suullisen kielitaidon testaaminen on ollut monien vuosien ajan tapetilla Suomen lukio-opetuksen parissa. Keskusteluja eri tahojen välillä on käyty tiheään ja varsinkin viime vuosina suullisen kokeen lisääminen osaksi ylioppilastutkintoa on noussut keskeiseksi keskustelunaiheeksi. Tätä prosessia on kiihdyttänyt erityisesti elokuussa 2016 käyttöönotettu uusi opetussuunnitelma, joka vahvasti painottaa tavoitteissaan suullisen kommunikaation taitoja elämän eri osa-alueilla. Suulliselle kielitaidolle on suuri kysyntä työelämässä ja täten kirjallisten taitojen on tehtävä tilaa suulliselle kielitaidolle. Tämän tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli selvittää oppilaiden näkökulmasta, miten englannin kielen …
Perspectiva diacrónico-contrastiva del paisaje lingüístico de la migración en el barrio de Ruzafa de Valencia
2019
Este trabajo tiene como principal objetivo conocer el grado de presencia de las lenguas de inmigración en el paisaje lingüístico (PL) de Ruzafa en los años 2008 y 2018 desde un planteamiento diacrónico y contrastivo, así como explorar las consecuencias que ha tenido el proceso de gentrificación sobre el paisaje lingüístico de la migración en el barrio. Para ello se ha elaborado un corpus de un total de 212 signos del PL a partir de capturas de pantalla de las imágenes de Google Street View, las cuales pertenecen los años 2008 y 2018 y muestran los rótulos y signos de algunos comercios privados del barrio. En el análisis se han tenido en cuenta las lenguas que aparecen en los signos, el tipo…
The troubled identities in relationship between peers and the role of the viewer
2012
10 th Conference of the European Sociological Association – ESA Social relations in turbulent times GENEVA September 2011 Globalization has dispersed along several different lines of action the historical concepts of war and enemy. Yet globalization has also changed the way in which victims are figuratively and symbolically produced. In other words, both ways of dealing with violence today are dramatically changed, especially in intimate and peer relationship. Today it is instead an ever more worrisome in the dynamics of inner life and redefines the boundaries of each other’s identity and the weights that social actors have in their private life. One of the most striking aspects of these tu…
Information Security Risk Assessments following Cybersecurity Breaches : The Mediating Role of Top Management Attention to Cybersecurity
2023
Information Systems (IS) research on managerial response to cybersecurity breaches has largely focused on externally oriented actions such as customer redressal and crisis response. Within the firm itself, a breach may be a symptom of systematic problems, and a narrow, siloed focus on only fixing immediate issues through technical fixes and controls might preclude other managerial actions to ensure future cybersecurity. Towards this end, Information Security Risk Assessments (ISRA) can help surface other vulnerabilities following a breach. While the role of governance in such exercises is emphasized in standards, it is undertheorized in IS research and lacks empirical evidence. We draw on t…
Uppoudun ja tukehdun: Häpeästä kuolemantoiveeseen ja itsemurhaan Aleksis Kiven teksteissä
2015
The shame-born figures of drowning and suffocation illustrate death wish and suicide in the texts of the 19th century Finnish author Aleksis Kivi. Suffocations by drowning or hanging attract his characters throughout his fictional oeuvre. In tragedies, deviant lives sometimes end in suicide and as forms of death wish, drowning and suffocation also herald other kinds of suicides. The figure of suffocation connects Kivi’s texts to the tradition of western literature. Suicidal tendencies form anomalies to life and lead to textual incoherences. Death wish and suicide challenge delightful trends and interpretations. Death wish during homecoming questions the endurance of hope and joy. From a psy…
Development of silent reading fluency and reading comprehension across grades 1 to 9 : unidirectional or bidirectional effects between the two skills?
2022
Purpose This study examines the developmental interplay between silent reading fluency and reading comprehension from Grade 1 to Grade 9 (age 7 to 15) in a large Finnish sample (N = 2,518). Of particular interest was whether the associations are bidirectional or unidirectional. Methods Children’s silent reading fluency and reading comprehension skills were assessed using group-administered tests, at seven time points, in Grades 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, and 9. A random intercept cross-lagged panel model with latent factors was used to identify between- and within-person associations between silent reading fluency and reading comprehension. The use of latent factors allowed for the controlling of me…
