How to Write Ethical User Stories? : Impacts of the ECCOLA Method
2021
AbstractArtificial Intelligence (AI) systems are increasing in significance within software services. Unfortunately, these systems are not flawless. Their faults, failures and other systemic issues have emphasized the urgency for consideration of ethical standards and practices in AI engineering. Despite the growing number of studies in AI ethics, comparatively little attention has been placed on how ethical issues can be mitigated in software engineering (SE) practice. Currently understanding is lacking regarding the provision of useful tools that can help companies transform high-level ethical guidelines for AI ethics into the actual workflow of developers. In this paper, we explore the i…
A Dynamic Software Startup Competency Model
2019
Current literature suggests that engineering activities of software engineering and software startup engineering differ. Thus, there is the need to elicit competencies specific for software startup engineering. This paper proposes a model that provides the various types of competencies and their respective relevance at the various stages of software startup evolution. peerReviewed
Containers in Software Development: A Systematic Mapping Study
2019
Over the past decade, continuous software development has become a common place in the field of software engineering. Containers like Docker are a lightweight solution that developers can use to deploy and manage applications. Containers are used to build both component-based architectures and microservice architectures. Still, practitioners often view containers only as way to lower resource requirements compared to virtual machines. In this paper, we conducted a systematic mapping study to find information on what is known of how containers are used in software development. 56 primary studies were selected into this paper and they were categorized and mapped to identify the gaps in the cu…
Valmistalon evoluutio suomalaisen puutaloteollisuuden mainoskuvastoissa 1980-2000-luvuilla
2013
Tutkielman aiheena on suomalaisten puurakenteisten valmistalojen arkkitehtuuri ja kehitys 1980-luvulta 2000-luvulle. Koska aihetta ei ole tutkittu, tutkielman tavoitteena on saada ilmiöstä kokonaiskuva. Valmistalot ovat näkyvä osa suomalaista rakennettua ympäristöä, sillä teollisesti tuotetuista omakotitaloista tuli tutkittavana ajanjaksona suosituin omakotirakentamisen muoto. Tutkimusaineistoon kuuluu 45 talokuvastoa puutaloteollisuuden eri toimijoilta sekä kolme toimitettua talo-opasta. Tutkielma edustaa laadullista tutkimusta ja pyrkii ilmiön kokonaisvaltaiseen ymmärtämiseen. Analyysi tähtää valmistalojen julkisivuarkkitehtuurin piirteiden tunnistavaan ja nimeävään tarkasteluun sekä vaik…
Näkymänhallintatekniikat 3D-grafiikkamoottoreissa
2011
Tässä tutkielmassa käsittelen näkymänhallintatekniikoita 3D-grafiikkamoottoreissa. Näkymä muodostetaan monikulmiomalleista. Näkymänhallinta kuvaa algoritmit ja menetelmät, joiden tarkoituksena on valita kyseisen maailman kaikista monikulmioista ne, jotka pitää piirtää katsojan lokaation ja orientaation perusteella. Renderöitäessä satojatuhansia polygoneja käyttäen lukuisia efektejä käytettävä näkymänhallintatekniikka on tärkeässä asemassa. Tutkielmassa on tarkoitus esittää eri näkymänhallintatekniikoiden toteutuksia, osoittaa millaisille näkymille mikäkin menetelmä on paras ja verrata menetelmien suorituskykyä.
Utilizing User Stories to Bring AI Ethics into Practice in Software Engineering
2022
AI ethics is a research area characterized by a prominent gap between research and practice. With most studies in the area being conceptual in nature or focused on technical ML (Machine Learning) solutions, the link between AI (Artificial Intelligence) ethics and SE (Software Engineering) practice remains thin. Establishing this link, we argue, is vital going forward. While conceptual discussion is required to define AI ethics, much progress has already been made in this regard. Similarly, though technical ML solutions are also required for practical implementation, ML systems are ultimately still software, and thus SE cannot be forgotten. In this paper, we propose one way of bringing AI et…
Lisätty todellisuus vähittäiskaupan markkinointiviestinnässä
2017
Lisätty todellisuus eli AR (englanniksi augmented reality) lisää todellisuuteen virtuaalisen elementin. Vähittäiskaupan markkinointiviestinnässä lisättyä todellisuutta on käytetty useiden vuosien ajan vahvistamaan brändikokemusta. Lisätty todellisuus mahdollistaa mukaansatempaavan markkinoinnin ja lisää asiakkaiden uskollisuutta. Lisättyä todellisuutta voi hyödyntää neljän paradigman kautta, jotka ovat aktiiviset painotuotteet ja pakkaukset, virtuaalipeilit, virtuaali-ikkunat ja paikannusta käyttävät AR-sovellukset. Lisätyn todellisuuden sisältö, käyttäjät, kohdeyleisö, sivulliset ja taustatekijät ovat viisi asiaa, joiden pohjalta suunnitellaan optimaalinen AR-kampanja. Esimerkiksi vaatteid…
Factors related to the impact of antihypertensive treatment in antioxidant activities and oxidative stress by-products in human hypertension
2004
The objective was to study factors related to the changes induced by antihypertensive treatment on oxidative status, antioxidant activities, and reactive oxygen species by-products in whole blood and mononuclear peripheral cells. Eighty-nine hypertensive patients (mean age 46 years, 46 men, average 24-h blood pressure 139/88 mm Hg, body mass index 29) were included. After 3 months of nonrandomized allocation to antihypertensive treatment (20 nonpharmacologic, 36 beta-blockers, 33 angiotensin receptor blocker), oxidized/reduced glutathione ratio and malondialdehyde were significantly reduced, and the activity of superoxide dismutase, catalase, and glutathione peroxidase was significantly inc…
The effects of telmisartan alone or in combination with hydrochlorothiazide on morning home blood pressure control: The SURGE 2 practice-based study
2013
SURGE 2, a large-scale, practice-based study in 10 countries, evaluated the effects of telmisartan alone or with hydrochlorothiazide (HCTZ) on morning (06:00 – 11:59) home blood pressure (HBP) control. Hypertensive patients (clinic blood pressure [BP] 140/90 mmHg) received telmisartan 40 or 80 mg either alone or in combination with HCTZ 12.5 mg for 8 weeks. Treatment could be adjusted if clinic BP remained 140/90 mmHg. Clinic BP was measured in the morning prior to medication, and seated HBP monitoring was performed, three times per day, 2 days per week. A total of 25,882 patients were included (71% were previously using antihypertensives). There was a statistically signifi cant (all p 0.00…
Angiotensin II antagonists - an assessment of their acute toxicity.
2013
In Germany, increasing prescription rates of angiotensin II antagonists resulted in rising enquiries to Poisons Information Centres (PICs) during the last decade. Therefore, we aimed to assess their acute toxicity for deriving triage recommendations.An observational case series with data collected retrospectively from eight PICs in Austria, Germany and Switzerland. Inclusion criteria were monoexposure, defined dose, and documented follow-up.In total, 206 cases of exposures to angiotensin II antagonists were included (candesartan, 94; eprosartan, 3; irbesartan, 20; losartan, 26; olmesartan, 16; telmisartan, 18; and valsartan, 29). The median dose expressed as a multiple of their maximum dail…
