Orthodontically guided bone transport in the treatment of alveolar cleft: A case report
2016
Introduction: Conventional treatments are sometimes not possible in certain alveolar cleft cases due to the severity of the gap which separates the fragments. Various management strategies have been proposed, including sequential surgical interventions or delaying treatment until adulthood to then carry out maxillary osteotomies. A further alternative approach has also been proposed, involving the application of bone transport techniques to mobilise the osseous fragments and thereby reduce the gap between lateral fragments and the premaxilla. Case Report: We introduce the case of a 10-year-old patient who presented with a bilateral alveolar cleft and a severe gap. Stable occlusion between t…
Gamifying the Escape from the Engineering Method Prison
2018
Software Engineering is an engineering discipline but lacks a solid theoretical foundation. One effort in remedying this situation has been the SEMAT Essence specification. Essence consists of a language for modeling Software Engineering (SE) practices and methods and a kernel containing what its authors describe as being elements that are present in every software development project. In practice, it is a method agnostic project management tool for SE Projects. Using the language of the specification, Essence can be used to model any software development method or practice. Thus, the specification can potentially be applied to any software development context, making it a powerful tool. Ho…

Innovation through implementation of a quality improvement method : A finnish public-sector case
2019
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to analyse the effectiveness of a quality improvement method in driving innovation in the public sector. The study expands on the concept of innovation and analyses the types and usefulness of the innovations observed. Design/methodology/approach The study utilizes an action research approach. The aim of the quality improvement method introduced is to generate innovations enhancing efficiency. An interventionist research method is required to produce the findings. Data collection methods include a preliminary question sheet, interview, workshops, observation and the examination of other material concerning the case organization. Findings The study suppo…
Esineiden internetin tiedonhallinnan ominaispiirteet
2017
Kandidaatintutkielma käsittelee esineiden internetin tiedonhallinnan ominaispiirteitä. Tutkielmassa määritellään esineiden internetin tiedonhallinnan erilaiset kokonaisuudet ja niihin liittyvät haasteet sekä arvioidaan esineiden internetin tiedonhallinnan mahdollistavia sovelluksia ja palveluita. Tiedonhallinnan eri ulottuvuuksia käsitellään tutkielmassa yhtenäisen viitekehyksen perusteella. Esineiden internetin tiedonhallinnan ominaispiirteitä arvioidaan tutkielmassa teknologisten ratkaisujen, havainnollistavien mallien sekä erilaisten kontekstien näkökulmista. Tutkimuksen tarkoituksena on muodostaa kokonaisvaltainen ja hyödyllinen käsitys esineiden internetin tiedonhallinnasta sekä siihen…
The Ghost of the Hawk: Top Predator Shaping Bird Communities in Space and Time
2021
Despite the wide recognition that strongly interacting species can influence distributions of other species, species interactions are often disregarded when assessing or projecting biodiversity distributions. In particular, it remains largely uncharted the extent to which the disappearance of a keystone species cast repercussions in the species composition of future communities. We tested whether an avian top predator can exert both positive and negative effects on spatial distribution of other species, and if these effects persist even after the predator disappeared. We acquired bird count data at different distances from occupied and non-occupied nests of Northern goshawks Accipiter genti…
