An Information Systems Design Product Theory for Software Project Estimation and Measurement Systems
2009
There is relatively little research on software Project Estimation and Measurement Systems (PEMS). Commercial PEMS vary in functionality and effectiveness. Their intended users thus do not know what to expect from PEMS and how to evaluate them. This paper creates an information system design product theory for the class of PEMS that prescribes the meta-requirements, the meta-design, and applicable theories for all products within the class. Meta-requirements and the meta-design are derived from the project estimation and measurement literature, experiences obtained during more than ten years of empirical work in Finnish Software Measurement Association, and a commercially available PEMS.
How cyber breeds crime and criminals
2014
Understanding how cyber breeds novel crime and new criminals is a contribution to criminological models with significant applied value. It is highly important for law enforcement and particularly pivotal for preventive intervention. In this paper we propose a human rights-based crime definition, present explanatory models for cybercrime, and outline future arenas and drivers to suggest to the stakeholder community prevention focuses and priorities. The presented work ultimately aims towards supporting two crime preventive design initiatives, one targeted at accounting for and narrowing the cybercriminal space of means, opportunities, and motives; the other aiming at augmenting early and pro…
Future of the media : sights from the inside
2012
Journalists as workers and makers of news are a very important stakeholder group for news media companies. It is vital for organizations to acknowledge the needs and expectations of their stakeholders, because fulfilled expectations lead to stakeholder favor and good organizational reputation. Unmet expectations lead to loss of stakeholder trust and bad organizational reputation. The purpose of this master’s thesis was to map the expectations and experiences of journalists and freelancer journalists working for major Finnish media companies. The aim was to find out how journalists see the future of media and their own future roles as journalists, how social media has affected journalists’ w…
Effect of ozone and hydrogen peroxide on off-flavor compounds and water quality in a recirculating aquaculture system
2022
The recirculating aquaculture system (RAS) is an ever-developing technology for producing fish with a low environmental impact. However, off-flavors can be a major problem in RAS fish production. Off-flavor compounds are of microbial origin and are accumulated in fish flesh. They typically cause a musty and earthy taste and odor, which consumers find unacceptable. Here we hypothesized that oxidizing compounds such as ozone (O3), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), and their combinations, referred to as advanced oxidation processes (AOP)s, can remove or decrease these compounds in water and prevent their accumulation in fish. In this study, four different oxidative treatments (O3 low (0.4 mg O3 L−1), …
Otsoniaineiston analysointi lineaarisella tila-avaruusmallilla
2014
Tutkielma käsittelee yläilmakehän otsonimäärän mallintamista lineaarisella tila-avaruusmallilla. Ilmakehän otsonimäärä vaihtelee vuodenajan mukaan ja lisäksi tunnetaan joitakin luonnollisia tekijöitä, jotka vaikuttavat otsonimäärään. Tämän lisäksi erilaiset ihmisen toiminnan vuoksi ilmakehässä lisääntyneet aineet aiheuttavat muutoksia otsonimäärässä. Aiemmin otsonimäärää on mallinnettu yleistettyjen lineaaristen mallien avulla. Tila-avaruusmallit ovat kuitenkin huomattavasti monipuolisempia malleja, joilla voidaan hyvin mallintaa ajassa tapahtuvaa kehitystä. Mallin sovittamisessa käytetään modernia MCMC-algoritmia. Aineistona käytetään kahden eri satelliitti-instrumentin havaintoja otsonimä…
Kohti reflektiivistä katsomuskasvatusta
2023
Tässä artikkelissa käsitellään reflektiivisyyttä katsomuskasvatuksen kontekstissa filosofisista ja teoreettisista näkökulmista. Katsomuskasvatus tulkitaan tässä laajasti: se kattaa elämänkatsomustiedon ja uskontojen opetuksen lisäksi kaiken kasvatuksen, joka tukee katsomuksen muodostumista ja identiteettityötä. Reflektiivinen katsomuskasvatus asettuu vastakohdaksi indoktrinatiiviselle kasvatukselle, jossa pyritään iskostamaan tietynlaiseen oppiin tai uskomusjärjestelmään perustuva ajattelutapa oppilaiden mieliin. Reflektiivisen katsomuskasvatuksen tarkoitus on antaa lapselle ja nuorelle välineitä määritellä identiteettiään ja maailmankuvaansa. Artikkelissa esitetään uusi reflektiivisen kats…
Moral sensitivity in information security dilemmas
2019
Activities that undermine information security such as noncompliance with information security policies raise moral concerns since they can expose valuable information assets. Existing research shows that moral reflection could play an inhibitory role in one’s decision to undermine information security. However, it is not clear whether users interpret such decisions from a moral standpoint to engage in moral reflection in the first place. Users have to be morally sensitive before they engage in moral reflection. Moral sensitivity involves perceiving a situation as morally relevant, identifying the parties involved and perceiving possible courses of action. We examine moral sensitivity in se…

Intellectual property strategies and firm growth : evidence from Finnish small business data
2012
The goal of this study is to shed light on the relationship between intellectual property (IP) strategies and firm growth. In brief, IP strategies are means of capturing returns on innovation investments. Employment effects and sales growth effects of innovations have been studied extensively in both theoretical and empirical economic literature but prior research has seldom included IP strategies into the analysis. There is little knowledge, whether there exists growth rate differences among firms that use different IP strategies and do patenting firms effectively demonstrate stronger growth than their non-patenting counterparts. Present study considers IP strategies as potential firm grow…
The value-added internal audit in public administration in Latvia
2019
The quality of internal audit and the added value of internal audit are unanswered questions in many public institutions in Latvia and around the world. This research was aimed at determining the evaluation approach of internal audit in the public sector of Latvia and developing a list of added value or benefits of the internal audit in a local government. The monographic method and the survey method, an expert survey, were used in the paper. The author has developed a valuation approach of internal audit in local governments. The author offers applying the approach developed when carrying out external evaluations to the commission of the responsible ministry in the sector, the representati…
