Technology Enabled Information Services Use in Tourism : An Ethnographic Study of Chinese Backpackers
2018
The purpose of this paper is to investigate the previously unexplored theoretical relationship between technology enabled information services (TEIS) and the value created by the use of such services. This paper presents a mixed virtual and multi-sited ethnography to provide a thick description of Chinese backpackers (CBs) use of TEIS. Participant observations and interviews of CBs in three different journeys within Europe were undertaken. Our findings illustrate that additional usage values occur when TEIS are used in a tourism context. Social influences and technical infrastructure play a stronger role than previous research presented. The study contributes to the literature by 1) providi…
A voyage to Vardø - A scientific account of an unscientific expedition
2013
After the “Venus Transit Conference” that took place at the University of Tromsø from June 2 to June 3, 2012, participants were given the opportunity to either stay in Tromsø until the night of June 5–6, or to participate in a voyage to Finnmark, where the historical sites Vardø, Hammerfest, and the North Cape were to be visited. This voyage culminated in the observation of the 2012 transit of Venus at Vardø. This paper gives a detailed account of this voyage that lasted from June 3 to June 6, and emphasizes the historical, scientific, philosophical, educational and cultural involvement of the participants of the voyage and of the local population. The paper concludes with reflections on th…
Performance of advanced transmission and reception algorithms for high speed downlink packet access
2008
Nykyisten kolmannen sukupolven (3G) matkaviestinverkkojen suorituskykyä voidaan parantaa huomattavasti käyttämällä erilaisia kehittyneitä tekniikoita tukiasemissa ja matkaviestimissä. Suorituskyvyn lisääminen on tarpeen langattoman liikenteen jatkuvasti kasvaessa. – Ihmisten liikkuvuus on huipussaan ja esimerkiksi työn sidonnaisuus yhteen paikkaan on vähentynyt. Tarve olla jatkuvasti yhteydessä tietoverkkoon on samalla lisääntynyt. Yhä useammalla on esimerkiksi ns. liikkuva laajakaista, jolla nopea Internet-yhteys on riippumaton paikasta, Nihtilä toteaa. Nihtilä tutki väitöskirjassaan erilaisten lähetin- ja vastaanotinalgoritmien suorituskykyä 3G-teknologia WCDMA:n (Wideband Code Division M…
The association of childhood commuting modes and physical activity in adult age
2022
Background Physically active lifestyle prevents and contributes to managing non-communicable diseases. Childhood physical activities have shown to associate with physically active lifestyle in adulthood. More research on which childhood physical activity modes associate with physical activity in later life is still needed. Within the present study, we examined how physically active commuting to school in childhood contributed to overall physical activity in adulhood. Methods The participants (N = 3596) were from the population-based, longitudinal Cardiovascular Risks in Young Finns Study. Questionnaires were used in assessing subjects' childhood (1980) and adulthood (2001-2018) physical act…

Experiencing Authenticity at Alvar Aalto’s Experimental House
2021
Experiences of authenticity are studied at Alvar Aalto’s Experimental House – today a modern house museum – which has gone through renovations and changes. Visitors were interviewed to find out how they feel about the authenticity of the place, if the changes affect their experience of authenticity, and if they share the same opinions. A review of the literature on the concept of authenticity is carried out and its implications for museum contexts is considered, and then the research questions are answered by analysing 30 interviews of visitors to the Experimental House.
Aresta uzlikšana pamatkapitāla daļām kriminālprocesā
2016
Pieaugošā kriminālprocesuālo mantisko jautājumu nozīme prasa mūsdienu apstākļiem atbilstošus risinājumus mantas aresta tiesiskajā reglamentācijā. Kriminālprocesa mērķa sasniegšanai nereti rodas nepieciešamība uzlikt arestu netipiskām lietu kategorijām, t. sk. pamatkapitāla daļām. Atšķirībā no ķermenisku lietu aresta, kad tiek ierobežotas īpašnieka tiesības uz taustāmu un vizuāli uztveramu lietu, uzliekot arestu pamatkapitāla daļām, tiek arestēta tāda abstrakta lietu kategorija kā tiesības. Kādas pamatkapitāla daļu īpašnieka tiesības ir nepieciešams ierobežot, lai sasniegtu mantas aresta mērķi? Un, kas nav mazsvarīgi, ciktāl sniedzas minēto tiesību ierobežošanas pieļaujamība? Darbā izpētīta …
The effect of an eco-label on the booking decisions of air passengers
2022
In the last few years there has been an increasing attempt to find solutions on how to mitigate the environmental impacts of air travel. Behavioral change has hereby been identified as the measure with the most significant impact. One way to encourage behavioral change is the use of eco-labels. Eco-labels have, to date, received scant attention in the aviation industry, and their effect on air travel behavior is still largely unknown. This study explores the effect of an eco-label on the booking decisions of passengers. We conduct a stated choice experiment with 553 air passengers. Our findings show that providing passengers with an eco-label leads to behavioral change, as the label makes t…
Design and evaluation of self-healing solutions for future wireless networks
2016
This doctoral dissertation is aimed at the creation of comprehensive and innovative Self-Organizing Networks (SON) solutions for the Network Management of future wireless networks. More specifically, the thesis focuses on the Self-Healing (SH) part of SON. Faults can appear at several functional areas of a complex cellular network. However, the most critical domain from a fault management viewpoint is the Radio Access Network (RAN). The fault management of network elements is not only difficult but also imposes high costs both in capital investment (CAPEX) and operational expenditures (OPEX). The SON concept has emerged with the goal to foster automation and to reduce human involvement in man…
