Adaptive meshes in computer graphics and model-based simulation

2006

Monet luonnonlait voidaan ilmaista matemaattisesti joko yhtenä yhtälönä tai yhtälöjärjestelmänä. Erityisesti differentiaaliyhtälöiden ratkaisu on tärkeä esimerkiksi mekaniikassa, biologiassa tai kemiassa esiin tuleva ongelma. Useimmissa tapauksissa ratkaisu tällaisiin yhtälöihin on tuntematon, joten se täytyy löytää käyttäen tietokonekoodia. Koska tietokoneet toimivat rajoitetulla tarkkuudella ja tietomäärällä, tietokoneella saatu ratkaisu on vain approksimaatio yhtälön ratkaisulle. Tämän epätarkan tiedon käyttö tietokoneavusteisessa tekniikassa voi johtaa laitteen toimintahäiriöihin. Onkin tärkeää saada kuva, kuinka hyvin tietokoneella saatu tulos edustaa tarkkaa ratkaisua.

Human Digital Twins in Acquiring Information About Human Mental Processes for Cognitive Mimetics

2022

Modern information technology makes it possible to redesign the ways people work. In the future, machines can carry out intelligence-requiring tasks, which previously were done by people. It is thus good to develop methodologies for designing intelligent systems. An example of such methods is cognitive mimetics, i.e. imitating human information processing. Today, machines cannot by themselves navigate in archipelagos. However, the fact that people can take care of ship steering and navigation means that there is an information process, which makes it possible to navigate ships. This information process takes place inside the minds of navigating people. If we are able to explicate the inform…

The “Seili-index” For The Prediction of Chlorophyll-α Levels In The Archipelago Sea of The Northern Baltic Sea, Southwest Finland

2021

AbstractTo build a forecasting tool for the state of eutrophication in the Archipelago Sea, we fitted a Generalized Additive Mixed Model (GAMM) to marine environmental monitoring data, which were collected over the years 2011–2019 by an automated profiling buoy at the Seili ODAS-station. The resulting “Seili-index” can be used to predict the chlorophyll-α (chl-a) concentration in the seawater a number of days ahead by using the temperature forecast as a covariate. An array of test predictions with two separate models on the 2019 data set showed that the index is adept at predicting the amount of chl-a especially in the upper water layer. The visualization with 10 days of chl-a level predict…

Wines and spirits in the comprehensive and economic trade agreement (CETA): an analysis

2021

Il saggio analizza l’accordo commerciale globale ed economico (CETA) tra l’Unione Europea e il Canada limitatamente al commercio di vino e spiriti. L’Accordo, avente l’obiettivo di rilanciare il commercio e aumentare la crescita del mercato e l’occupazione, nonostante sia stato ratificato dalla maggioranza dei Paesi dell’Unione, non è ancora stato ratificato dall’Italia. Si guarda, quindi, in modo critico alle modi che che il CETA ha apportato all’accordo CE – Canada del 2003 volto a creare condizioni più favorevoli per lo sviluppo armonioso del commercio di vino e bevande spiritose sulla base dei principi di uguaglianza e vantaggio reciproco. The paper analyzed the Annex dedicated to win…

(De)Stigmatization of Political Leadership : The Case of a Right-Wing Populist Presidential Candidate in the Finnish Media

2020

In this article, we examine the discursive practices of (de)stigmatizing right-wing populist party leaders. We draw on a recent example from Finland by examining how the female presidential candidate of a right-wing populist party was portrayed in the Finnish media during the 2018 presidential campaign season. We examine the stigmatization by the press media and the stigma-management tactics used by the presidential candidate to resist stigmatization. The media representation of the right-wing party leader is highly tensioned, and the media positions her political leadership within the duality of charisma and stigma. In our analysis, we extend earlier literature by unveiling the emotional t…

Internal resources as tools to increase the global competition: the Italian wine industry case

2017

Purpose The purpose of this paper is twofold: first, it identifies distinct organizational models in a sample of small and medium enterprises operating in the Sicilian wine industry; and second, it identifies the key factors enabling a superior export success. Design/methodology/approach Internal resources were analyzed theoretically in order to achieve the aims of the study. Subsequently the empirical investigation was carried out administering a questionnaire to a sample of 102 wineries in Sicily, Italy. A cluster analysis was performed in order to group these firms into homogeneous categories. Findings The findings show that success in the international market is more common among winer…

Crisis Communication Competence in Co-Producing Safety with Citizen Groups

2016

The aim of this article is to explore interpersonal communication competence needed by crisis communication and management experts when co-operating with citizen groups in response to emergencies. Moreover, the purpose is to understand how response organizations can further develop this crisis communication competence and so contribute to the functioning of response networks. The research task is approached qualitatively by eliciting crisis communication and management experts’ (n = 33) perceptions of the interpersonal communication competence response organizations needs when co-operating with citizen groups. The data were gathered via an international online questionnaire using a method r…

Data from the GIPEyOP online election poll for the 2015 Spanish General election.

2020

Abstract The general elections of 2015 in Spain took place in the middle of the Great Recession after several years of austerity economic policies. This election caused a political earthquake that shook the Spanish party system. During the campaign of that election, GIPEyOP (Elections and Public Opinion Research Group from University of Valencia) conducted a survey to collect relevant data about the electorate beliefs, intentions and motivations. This article describes the data set attained, which comprises 71 variables after removing, to ensure full anonymity, those variables that would potentially allow respondents to be identified. Respondents answered a self-administered online question…
