Lisättyyn todellisuuteen perustuvien ohjelmistojen liiketoimintamallit
2017
Lisätty todellisuus (englanniksi 'Augmented Reality', usein lyhennettynä 'AR') on paljon potentiaalia omaava teknologia, minkä uskotaan yleistyvän lähitulevaisuudessa. Tämä tutkielma luo kirjallisuuteen perustuen katsauksen lisätyn todellisuuden liiketoiminnan näkökulmasta. Päämielenkiinto on lisättyyn todellisuuteen perustuvien ohjelmistojen liiketoimintamalleissa. Lisättyä todellisuutta tarkastellaan erinäisten määritelmien avulla. Tässä tutkielmassa lisätyllä todellisuudella tarkoitetaan tapauksia, joissa oikeaa kolmiulotteista ympäristöä täydennetään virtuaalisilla elementeillä oikeaan paikkaan ja aikaan sijoitettuina. Tämä on mahdollista toteuttaa erinäisten järjestelmien avulla, muun …
Study on the effects of chemical cleaning on pinaceae resin-based varnishes from panel and canvas paintings using pyrolysis-gas chromatography/mass s…
2006
Abstract Cleaning of varnish coatings is one of the most critical steps in the restoration treatment of paintings and characterization of physical and chemical processes involved in this practical procedure has attracted interest of scientists in the field of conservation. Evaluation of chemical cleaning methods based on the application of organic solvents and detergents on Pinaceae resin-based varnishes from panel and canvas paintings has been successfully carried out using pyrolysis-gas chromatograpy/mass spectrometry (Py-GC/MS). The proposed method includes the on-line derivatization of the diterpenoid resin using hexamethyldisilazane (HMDS). Analyses performed on a series of model varni…
Business Model Canvas Should Pay More Attention to the Software Startup Team
2020
Business Model Canvas (BMC) is a tool widely used to describe startup business models. Despite the various business aspects described, BMC pays a little emphasis on team- related factors. The importance of team-related factors in software development has been acknowledged widely in literature. While not as extensively studied, the importance of teams in software startups is also known in both literature and among practitioners. In this paper, we propose potential changes to BMC to have the tool better reflect the importance of the team, especially in a software startup environment. Based on a literature review, we identify various components related to the team, which we then further suppor…
Business models of FinTechs – Difference in similarity?
2021
Abstract The FinTech industry is gradually maturing and offers a wide range of financial services on the global stage. Still, the understanding of FinTech business models remains at its infancy with a shortage of cross-country comparisons. This paper aims to determine the differences in business model attributes of FinTechs in five rapidly emerging FinTech hotspots in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE). Survey results from Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, and Russia, accompanied by cluster analysis, enable us to provide unique in-depth evidence on FinTech business models. Across the selected countries, we observe significant differences in the attributes of FinTech business models: key act…
Analytical study of canvas painting collection from the Basilica de la Virgen de los Desamparados using SEM/EDX, FT-IR, GC and electrochemical techni…
2001
A new method, based on the combined use of scanning electron microscopy-x-ray microanalysis, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, gas chromatography and differential pulse voltammetry, is proposed which permits a parallel investigation of organic and inorganic materials and the characterization of the artistic technique employed in canvas painting. The proposed method has led to analyze succesfully the canvas painting collection exhibited in the Basílica de la Virgen de los Desamparados (Valencia, Spain) which includes art works from 17th to 20th century.
A multi-analytical non-invasive and micro-invasive approach to canvas oil paintings. General considerations from a specific case
2017
Abstract The investigation of artwork to understand story, state of conservation and to know about the composing materials is an issue that is getting growing attention in specialized literature. From a methodological point of view the scientific community is trying to reach a common proposal that could contribute to define a Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) for the application of portable non-invasive and microinvasive techniques for in-situ analyses. In this paper the oil painting on canvas “St. Girolamo nello studio” by Nicolo Buttafoco was investigated to known the materials and techniques used by the artist as well as to evaluate its preservation status. The survey has been conducted…
Restrictions on data-driven political micro-targeting in Germany
2017
The revitalisation of canvassing in recent elections is strongly related to campaigns´ growing possibilities for analysing voter data to gain knowledge about their constituents, identifying their most likely voters and serving up personalised messages through individual conversations. The research literature about political micro-targeting hardly ever focusses on campaigns in parliamentary democracies with strict data protection laws. Based on in-depth expert interviews we introduce a framework of constraints in strategic political communication and reveal several restrictions on the macro, meso and micro levels which hinder the implementation of sophisticated data strategies in Germany. We…
SCIENTIFIC INVESTIGATIONS FOR THE RESTORATION OF SANTA CHIARA FROM THE SANTA CATERINA D’ALESSANDRIA MONASTERY IN PALERMO, ITALY
2022
The aim of this research was to assess the techniques and the materials used to realize the canvas painting Santa Chiara, from the Santa Caterina d’Alessandria Monastery and to verify the state of preservation, the possible decay processes and previous restorations. Consequently, an integrated analytical approach based on the use of non-invasive (diffused, indirect and ultraviolet light investigations) and micro-invasive techniques (optical microscopy, OM, scanning electron microscopy, SEM-EDX, Fourier- transform infrared spectroscopy FT-IR spectroscopy) were used. The oil painting on canvas dated XVI century: data suggests traditional painting technique, characterized by two priming prepar…
Conceptualizing Innovative Business Planning Frameworks to Improving New Venture Strategy Communication and Performance. A Preliminary Analysis of th…
2017
Business planning is a fundamental activity that start-up entrepreneurs are called to carry out in order to attract new investors, business angels, and venture capitalists, to subsidize a new business idea. The key-tool universally used to communicate a new venture strategy to these players, as well as to other stakeholders, is the business plan, i.e. a framework including the business idea description, the product(s), the market sector(s), the core-assets, the budget, the business sustainability and profitability, and so on. As such, a major success factor for drawing up a business plan is the capability to clearly and synthetically communicate the business strategy. Among the others, one …
