Systemaattinen kirjallisuuskatsaus nuorten kokemuksista ja osallisuudesta lastensuojelussa

2014

Tutkimuksessa selvitän systemaattisen kirjallisuuskatsauksen avulla, miten nuorten kokemuksia lastensuojelusta on aikaisemmin tutkittu sekä millaisia kokemuksia nuorilla on lastensuojelusta ja osallisuudesta lastensuojelussa aikaisempien kansainvälisten tutkimusten perusteella. Tutkimuksessani olen halunnut keskittyä lastensuojelussa asiakkaina oleviin nuoriin. Nuoret ovat lastensuojelun tilastojen mukaan merkittävä asiakasryhmä. Heidän kanssaan työskentelyä pidetään usein kuitenkin haastavana eikä nuoria ole helppo tavoittaa lastensuojelun työskentelytavoilla. Systemaattisen kirjallisuuskatsaukseni aineistona on 18 englanninkielistä tutkimusta nuorten kokemuksista lastensuojelusta ja osall…

The Role of Small-Angle X-Ray Scattering and Molecular Simulations in 3D Structure Elucidation of a DNA Aptamer Against Lung Cancer

2021

Aptamers are short, single-stranded DNA or RNA oligonucleotide molecules that function as synthetic analogs of antibodies and bind to a target molecule with high specificity. Aptamer affinity entirely depends on its tertiary structure and charge distribution. Therefore, length and structure optimization are essential for increasing aptamer specificity and affinity. Here we present a general optimization procedure for finding most populated atomistic structures of DNA aptamers. Based on the existed aptamer LC-18 for lung adenocarcinoma, a new truncated aptamer LC-18t was developed. A three-dimensional shape of LC-18t was reported based on small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) experiments and m…

Nestriktās ekvivalences nestriktās klasterizācijas algoritmā

2022

Maģistra darba mērķis ir iepazīstināt lasītāju ar izstrādātu, ERAF projekta ietvaros, klasterizācijas metodi FERC, un parādīt tās priekšrocības salīdzinājumā ar nestrikto C-means. Projekta rezultāti tiks publicēti žurnālā Springer. FERC metodē, mēs ieviešam nestrīktās ekvivalences attiecības dažādiem objekta atribūtiem, un tad mēs agregējam šīs nestriktās ekvivalences attiecības vienā, lai noteiktu objekta piederības pakāpi kādam klasterim. Darbā tiek parādīts, ka klasterizācijas procesā, katram objekta atribūtam var uzdot tā nozīmīgumu, ieviešot atribūtu svarus. Līdz šim klasterizācijas procesā, atribūtu svari netika izmantoti. Kā arī darbā tiek parādīti ilustratīvi piemēri.

Spatially dynamic forest management to sustain biodiversity and economic returns.

2014

Production of marketed commodities and protection of biodiversity in natural systems often conflict and thus the continuously expanding human needs for more goods and benefits from global ecosystems urgently calls for strategies to resolve this conflict. In this paper, we addressed what is the potential of a forest landscape to simultaneously produce habitats for species and economic returns, and how the conflict between habitat availability and timber production varies among taxa. Secondly, we aimed at revealing an optimal combination of management regimes that maximizes habitat availability for given levels of economic returns. We used multi-objective optimization tools to analyze data fr…

Wastewater treatment: New insight provided by interactive multiobjective optimization

2011

In this paper, we describe a new interactive tool developed for wastewater treatment plant design. The tool is aimed at supporting the designer in designing new wastewater treatment plants as well as optimizing the performance of already available plants. The idea is to utilize interactive multiobjective optimization which enables the designer to consider the design with respect to several conflicting evaluation criteria simultaneously. This is more important than ever because the requirements for wastewater treatment plants are getting tighter and tighter from both environmental and economical reasons. By combining a process simulator to simulate wastewater treatment and an interactive mul…

Using Video Conferencing and Video Recordings for Upper Secondary Distance Teaching: Teachers' View Points

2016

In Finland the “Isoverstas” (formely ISOverkosto) network of schools coordinates the development of upper secondary distance learning services. The community actually is quite extensive with 65 member schools. In this paper we introduce the results related using synchronous and asynchronous online video resources for distance teaching. The topic is approached broadly at the level of schools and different support services as well as the pedagogical practices of individual teachers. The research data consists of wiki stories written by teachers, the interviews of selected teachers, and an online survey. Data-based content analysis was chosen as the main analysis method with the aim of highlig…

Supporting Institutional Awareness and Academic Advising using Clustered Study Profiles

2017

The purpose of academic advising is to help students with developing educational plans that support their academic career and personal goals, and to provide information and guidance on studies. Planning and management of the students’ study path is the main joint activity in advising. Based on a study log of passed courses, we propose to use robust, prototype-based clustering to identify a set of actual study path profiles. Such profiles identify groups of students with similar progress of studies, whose analysis and interpretation can be used for better institutional awareness and to support evidence-based academic advising. A model of automated academic advising system utilizing the possi…

Agricultural potential of anaerobically digested industrial orange waste with and without aerobic posttreatment

2012

The potential of anaerobically digested orange waste with (AAD) and without (AD) aerobic post-treatment for use in agriculture was evaluated through chemical analyses, short-term phytotoxicity and long-term plant assays. Chemical analyses showed that AD contained ammonia and organic acids, and aerobic post-treatment did not significantly remove these phytotoxins. The N:P2O5:K2O ratio in AD was 1:0.26:0.96 and aerobic post-treatment did not change the composition in AAD except for K2O (1:0.26:1.24). Heavy metal contents in AD and AAD were more or less the same and were below the upper limit recommended for non-sewage sludge application on agricultural soils. Short-term phytotoxicity tests sh…
