The Importance of Engaging Local People in Landscape Management – Experiences from an EU Project
2018
“Bull by the Horns” -project initiated landscape management and promoted biodiversity associated with diminishing High Nature Value farmland habitats in Finland. A specific focus was on grazed semi-natural grasslands and wood-pastures which are collectively referred to as traditional rural biotopes (TRBs). Collaboration among project workers, non-farming landowners, and cattle owners reintroduced grazing to abandoned pastures, and management was financed through agri-environmental payments. Using adaptive co-management principles, the project enabled collective definition of integrated site-specific management objectives. A better understanding of contemporary challenges and opportunities t…
Do Randomized Algorithms Improve the Efficiency of Minimal Learning Machine?
2020
Minimal Learning Machine (MLM) is a recently popularized supervised learning method, which is composed of distance-regression and multilateration steps. The computational complexity of MLM is dominated by the solution of an ordinary least-squares problem. Several different solvers can be applied to the resulting linear problem. In this paper, a thorough comparison of possible and recently proposed, especially randomized, algorithms is carried out for this problem with a representative set of regression datasets. In addition, we compare MLM with shallow and deep feedforward neural network models and study the effects of the number of observations and the number of features with a special dat…
Ensuring Diverse User Experiences and Accessibility While Developing the TeSLA e-Assessment System
2019
The TeSLA project, with its new, innovative approaches for e-assessment, offers a great possibility for increasing the educational equality and making higher education studies available for all. It has been estimated that 10–15% of students in higher education institutions have some disabilities or special educational needs. At online universities or in online programmes, the number is even higher. These numbers emphasise the importance of the universal design for learning as a leading principle while developing the digital learning environments and e-assessment procedures. In this chapter, we describe the key elements of ensuring the accessibility of the TeSLA e-assessment system during th…

Project-based learning in the Chinese heritage language course/class in Finnish comprehensive education
2023
With the trend of global mobility and immigration, the Finnish government has been promoting integration and multiculturality since 1990. According to the Finnish National Agency for Education (FNAE), Heritage Language (oma äidinkieli) lessons aim to protect and develop immigrant students’ competencies in their heritage languages and cultures. This article shares a pilot 4-week PBL (Project-based Learning) module for a group of advanced Chinese language learners. It discusses the opportunities and challenges during the PBL and suggests possible improvements. nonPeerReviewed

Chebyshev’s Method on Projective Fluids
2020
We demonstrate the acceleration potential of the Chebyshev semi-iterative approach for fluid simulations in Projective Dynamics. The Chebyshev approach has been successfully tested for deformable bodies, where the dynamical system behaves relatively linearly, even though Projective Dynamics, in general, is fundamentally nonlinear. The results for more complex constraints, like fluids, with a particular nonlinear dynamical system, remained unknown so far. We follow a method describing particle-based fluids in Projective Dynamics while replacing the Conjugate Gradient solver with Chebyshev’s method. Our results show that Chebyshev’s method can be successfully applied to fluids and potentially…
LEAN principu pielietošana IT uzņēmumos darījumprocesu uzlabošanai
2017
Bakalaura darbā “LEAN principu pielietošana IT uzņēmumos darījumprocesu uzlabošanai” tiek apskatīta LEAN principu pielietošana IT uzņēmumos, galvenie ieguvumi no to pielietošanas, un cik būtiski tie ietekmē darījumprocesus un projektu sekmību. Darba mērķis ir izpētīt populārākas metodes, kas tiek izmantotas IT projektos, lai sekmētu efektīvu programmatūras izstrādes procesu, noteikt to priekšrocības un trūkumus, izpētīt LEAN pieejas principus, tās priekšrocības un iespējamus trūkumus, tās popularitāti, pielietot tās principus IT uzņēmumā, lai noteiktu kā tie ietekmē uzņēmuma darbu un darījumprocesus. Izpētītie LEAN principi tika pielietoti Latvijas IT uzņēmumā, izpētot uzņēmuma darbu un dar…
