The Role of Architecture Evaluations in ICT-companies
2008
First published in the Proceedings of the 11th International HAAMAHA Conference, July 9-12, 2007, Poznan, Poland Architecture evaluation is a way to get answers to organisation’s information needs and problems relating to its business and ICT. Companies’ needs to move towards business value driven ICT-development and pressures to improve the costeffectiveness of ICT are some of the reasons for the increasing interest in the evaluations and measurements of architectures. However, the role and the meaning which architecture evaluation may have in companies is not clearly identified or defined. For example, needs and triggers for architectural evaluations do not seem to be identified in previo…
Criteria for the evaluation of requirements management tools supporting distributed software product line engineering and management
2015
The development of software product lines (SPL) by geographically distributed teams increases the complexity of requirements management (RM) related tasks, making the support of a RM tool necessary. However, the selection of the most appropriate RM tool can be challenging, therefore the use of a comprehensive criteria list guiding the selection becomes essential. The goal of this research is to determine whether available criteria lists include comprehensive criteria for the evaluation of RM tools to be adopted in distributed SPL requirements management. This research answers the following research questions: (1) Do currently available criteria lists for RM tool evaluation allow the assessm…
Medical Software Needs Calm Compliance
2022
The promise of calm computing, a concept introduced by Mark Weiser more than 20 years ago, has been mostly realized today. For instance, as an end user, you expect to interact during your daily routine with a multitude of sophisticated services and applications without being aware of their technical implementation. All you need is a smartphone and an always-on Internet connection. peerReviewed
Optical quality of hyperopic and myopic phakic intraocular lenses
2013
Aims: To assess and compare the optical quality of the myopic and hyperopic implantable collamer lens (ICL) from its wavefront aberrations for different powers and pupil diameters. Settings and Design: Prospective study. Material and Methods: The wavefront aberrations of two myopic (−3 and −6 diopters (D)) and two hyperopic V4b ICLs (+3 and +6D) were measured in vitro . To assess and compare the optical quality of different powers of ICLs, we analyzed the root mean square (RMS) of total higher order aberrations (HOAs), trefoil, coma, tetrafoil, secondary astigmatism, and spherical aberration at 3- and 4.5-mm pupil. In addition, the point spread functions (PSFs) of each ICL evaluated were ca…
Results of a dental care protocol for mentally handicapped patients set in a primary health care area in Spain
2007
Objective: Disabled people have the same right as other people to receive the health care they need, but they sometimes have difficulties to achieve it. In Castilla y Leon it has come into effect a law to guarantee Primary and Secondary Care coordination to provide dental treatment under sedation or anaesthesia to mentally disabled people who need it. Our aim is to evaluate the results of the implementation of such a law through a specific protocol in our health setting. Study design: Descriptive, made in a Health Area over a year, on mentally disabled people who were sent to hospital for treatment under anaesthesia after Primary Dental Care Units assessment. It has been studied the age, ge…

Kieliasenteita on tutkittu maailmalla 1960-luvulta lähtien. Tutkimusmetodit koskien kieliasenteita ovat pysyneet suhteellisen samoina siitä lähtien kun Matched guise tekniikka kehittyi. Tästä lähtien tutkimusmetodologia keskittyi erilaisiin asteikkoihin ja ennalta määrättyihin vastausvaihtoehtoihin. Näitä tutkimusmenetelmiä on kritisoitu sekä kaavamaisuudesta että vastaajien huomiotta jättämisestä. Tämän tutkielman on tarkoitus määrittää suomalaisten englannin yliopisto-opiskelijoiden asenteita englannin kieltä kohtaan. Tutkielman toinen päätarkoitus on osoittaa vaihtoehtoisten tutkimusmenetelmien tarpeellisuus kieliasenteiden tutkimuksessa. Lähtökohtana tutkimuksessa on vastaajien todellis…
