Governing at the frontier of the European Commission : the case of seconded national officials
2005
Studies of executive institutions have largely dealt separately with national and international executive institutions (IEIs). This study unpacks and repacks four conflicting decision-making dynamics that unfolds at the frontier of IEIs – that is, at the institutional rim where national and international executive institutions meet, interact and collide. The empirical laboratory utilised is seconded national experts in the European Commission. The survey and interview data presented demonstrates that the decision-making behaviour of seconded national experts includes a mix of departmental (portfolio), epistemic (expert) and supranational behaviour. The suspicion early voiced by Coombes (197…
’Green’ strategies and approaches. A contribution from the off-site and upcycling of discarded shipping containers
2021
La Terra versa oggi in una condizione di vulnerabilità che gran parte degli studiosi attribuisce a un modello di crescita infinita inseguita su un pianeta con risorse limitate. In relazione a questo contesto ambientale critico il contributo si propone di stimolare nuove prassi per il settore delle costruzioni suggerendo una visione sistemica che faccia ricorso contemporaneamente a più approcci sostenibili e circolari e che, combinando tecniche e tecnologie tradizionali e innovative, consenta l’eliminazione di scarti e rifiuti. In particolare, l’articolo illustra le potenzialità della prefabbricazione nel contenimento degli impatti ambientali diretti e indiretti rispetto a un’equivalente cos…
ECOPLUS: Ipotesi di sviluppo sostenibile di un territorio
2002
Il progetto di ricerca “Ipotesi di sviluppo sostenibile di un territorio – progetto Eco-Plus “ è stato impostato con un approccio multidisciplinare e multisettoriale. Hanno fatto parte del gruppo di ricerca Architetti, Ingegneri, Economisti, Pianificatori territoriali, Storici dell’Architettura, Paesaggisti. Siamo convinti che un progetto inerente una ipotesi di sviluppo sostenibile di un territorio debba necessariamente studiare, conoscere, approfondire, far risaltare tutte le risorse, tutte le specificità e le pecularietà dello stesso. Occorrono quindi competenze diverse e specifiche ma occorrono anche approcci diversi alle problematiche e alle soluzioni da prospettare. Siamo peraltro con…
'REOFUT' as an Observation Tool for Tactical Analysis on Offensive Performance in Soccer: Mixed Method Perspective
2019
Performance analysis in complex sports like soccer requires the study of the influence of the interaction between both teams during the game on final performance. The mixed methods approach involves the collection, analysis, and interpretation of qualitative and quantitative data for the same purpose and within the framework of the same study. To build certain observation tools, mixed methods are necessary in order to take advantage of integration between qualitative and quantitative elements. The aim of this study was to develop a new no standard observation tool to analyze soccer offensive performance considering not only the observed team but also some aspects of the opponent behavior, a…
Formatiivinen arviointitutkimus ympäristöjärjestelmän vaikutuksista - Green Office Viikin kampuksella
2014
Ympäristöjärjestelmät ovat 2000-luvulla yleistyneet muiden organisaatioiden ohella myös suomalaisissa korkeakouluissa. Järjestelmien yleistyessä kysymykset niiden vaikuttavuudesta nousevat esiin yhä useammin, eivätkä aihetta koskevat tutkimukset ole onnistuneet antamaan niihin yksiselitteistä vastausta. WWF:n Green Office -järjestelmä on ollut käytössä Helsingin yliopiston Viikin kampuksella vuodesta 2011 lähtien. Järjestelmän vaikutuksista haluttiin saada tarkempaa tietoa, josta olisi hyöytä paitsi järjestelmän kehittämiseen Viikissä, myös yleisemmin järjestelmää soveltaville ja sen käyttöönottoa harkitseville tahoille. Green Officen vaikutuksia Viikissä lähestyttiin kolmesta näkökulmasta:…
A Gestalt music analysis : philosophical theory, method, and analysis of Iegor Reznikoff's compositions
2005
Jaana Utriainen on väitöskirjassaan luonut hahmofilosofisen musiikkianalyysiteorian ja –metodin GMAn (A Gestalt Music Analysis) ja soveltanut sitä ranskalaisen Iégor Reznikoffin neljään laulusävellykseen.- Etsin vastauksia väitteelle, jonka mukaan sävellyksistä on analysoitavissa ja tulkittavissa säveltäjän luova musiikillinen hahmoprosessi eli säveltäjän sisäinen musiikillinen hahmo. Lisäksi muodostin analyysimallin, jonka avulla musiikin hahmon laatu (Gestalt Quality) voidaan analysoida ja tulkita, Utriainen kertoo.Tutkimus kuuluu kognitiivisen musiikkitieteen, musiikin filosofian ja estetiikan tieteenaloihin. Monialaisen tutkimuksen päätuloksena on, että tutkimuksen väite: musiikin hahmo…
Is My Office 365 GDPR Compliant? : Security Issues in Authentication and Administration
2018
The General Data Protection Regulation, commonly referred as GDPR, will be enforced in all European Union countries in May 2018. GDPR sets requirements for processing EU citizens’ personal data regardless of the physical location of the organisation processing the data. Over 40 percent of European organisations are using Office 365. Microsoft claims that Office 365 service is GDPR compliant, and has provided tools to help Office 365 customers to ensure their GDPR compliancy. In this paper, we present some security issues related to the very foundation of Office 365 service, namely Azure Active Directory and administrative tools, and assess their GDPR compliancy. Our findings reveal that per…
E-NAUTILUS: A decision support system for complex multiobjective optimization problems based on the NAUTILUS method
2015
Interactive multiobjective optimization methods cannot necessarily be easily used when (industrial) multiobjective optimization problems are involved. There are at least two important factors to be considered with any interactive method: computationally expensive functions and aspects of human behavior. In this paper, we propose a method based on the existing NAUTILUS method and call it the Enhanced NAUTILUS (E-NAUTILUS) method. This method borrows the motivation of NAUTILUS along with the human aspects related to avoiding trading-off and anchoring bias and extends its applicability for computationally expensive multiobjective optimization problems. In the E-NAUTILUS method, a set of Pareto…
An Information Systems Design Product Theory for Integrated Requirements, Test and Defect Management Systems
2012
Software companies need to develop high-quality products fast and with low cost. Development activities are typically distributed in different places and involve multiple stakeholders in different countries. Testing is an important way to ensure product quality but it is costly and takes ample time and resources. Sourcing testing services from specialized service providers is often the most viable option for software businesses. Flexible and effective test process management is especially vital to support the testing life-cycle when external testing service providers are involved. Yet, the extant literature provides little theoretical guidance for managing the testing life-cycle, including …
