Open Resources as the Educational Basis for a Bachelor-level Project-Based Course

2015

This article presents an innovation-based course concept for project-based learning. In this course, student groups are asked to ideate and implement a software product based on Open Data and Open API releases. By emphasizing students’ own product ideation, the course requires and enhances self-directed learning skills and prompts the students to see the unlimited possibilities in becoming and being a practitioner of the computing discipline. Relatedly, the course provides a tool to improve student self-efficacy, as the students, coached through challenges, come to know that they are able to produce software using various open interfaces.

Introduction to Integrating Knowledge and Learning Processes Minitrack

2013

This minitrack discusses knowledge management (KM) from an integrated perspective, i.e., the integration of KM, learning, and business processes. It mainly focuses on two issues: a) how can knowledge, learning and business processes integrated, and b) how can the related systems be integrated to enable an efficient workflow. Currently, even less learning environments take context and environment into account. Using mobile and ubiquitous technologies can lead to a paradigm shift in the construction of such learning environments: from static to highly contextualized knowledge and learning experiences. Based on the integration of knowledge and learning systems into social networks and social m…

Research literature clustering using diffusion maps

2013

We apply the knowledge discovery process to the mapping of current topics in a particular field of science. We are interested in how articles form clusters and what are the contents of the found clusters. A framework involving web scraping, keyword extraction, dimensionality reduction and clustering using the diffusion map algorithm is presented. We use publicly available information about articles in high-impact journals. The method should be of use to practitioners or scientists who want to overview recent research in a field of science. As a case study, we map the topics in data mining literature in the year 2011. peerReviewed

How news affect the trading behavior of different categories of investors in a financial market

2015

We investigate the trading behavior of a large set of single investors trading the highly liquid Nokia stock over the period 2003-2008 with the aim of determining the relative role of endogenous and exogenous factors that may affect their behavior. As endogenous factors we consider returns and volatility, whereas the exogenous factors we use are the total daily number of news and a semantic variable based on a sentiment analysis of news. Linear regression and partial correlation analysis of data show that different categories of investors are differently correlated to these factors. Governmental and non profit organizations are weakly sensitive to news and returns or volatility, and, typica…

A moral economy of patents: case of Finnish research universities' patent policies

2013

The primary objective of this paper is to demonstrate the usefulness of the concept of moral economy for higher education studies through a study of Finnish research universities' patent policies. Patent policies not only stimulate the commercialization of research, they also set norms for behavior and aim to clarify how to distribute rights and responsibilities during the commercialization of research results. My main research finding is that even though institutionalized university patenting is a very recent phenomenon in Finland, policies regulating it have significant similarities to the US case. The main conclusion of this paper is that the question of university patent policies should…

Somali Associations’ Trajectories in Italy and in Finland: Leaders building trust and finding legitimisation

2013

Previous research on migrant associations has explained their formation and maintenance by highlighting migrant groups' cultural characteristics or the political opportunity structures (POS) available in the countries of settlement. Past research has also focused on associations in relation to migrants' political participation in the countries of settlement, applying the notion of social capital. The aim of this article is to enrich the debate on migrant associations by analysing their trajectories. This analysis will also make use of the concepts of POS and social capital. The article analyses Somali associations' developmental trajectories over time in two different settlement-country con…

Itsemurhan taide : itsemurhan roolit modernissa ja jälkimodernissa taiteessa

2011

Tutkielma kartoittaa itsemurhan esiintyvyyttä modernissa ja jälkimodernissa taiteessa ja pyrkii luomaan typologian niistä erinäisistä rooleista, joissa itsemurhan representaatio tällä reilun sadan vuoden aikajanalla esiintyy. Itsemurhan näkyvyydestä taiteessa tehty aiempi tutkimus on vähäistä ja painottuu modernismia edeltäneeseen taiteeseen, joten tutkielma pyrkii muodostamaan kokonaiskuvaa niukasti tutkitusta aihepiiristä. Tutkimuksen taustalla on ajatus siitä, että taide mahdollistaa itsemurhan kaltaisen tabun käsittelyn tavalla, jota arkikieli ei tue. Siten "itsemurhan taidetta" tarkastelemalla olisi mahdollista nähdä myös itsemurhaan liitettyjä merkityssisältöjä laajemmassakin, kulttuu…
