Fondos estructurales y política regional en la Unión Europea
2000
The present work examines the reasons that gave rise to European Regional Policy and describes its principles and basic objectives, as well as the operational transformations it underwent from the 1988 Structural Fund reform till the approval of the Agenda 2000. Its ability to correct regional imbalances is subsequently compared with the limited ability of European Public Finance to carry out some of the functions performed by central governments in States with a federal political structure, which results in disparity between regional income levels and the corresponding tax balances. Finally, the achievements and limitations of European Regional Policy are assessed on a wide basis rather th…
Laadunvarmistus ketterissä ohjelmistokehitysmenetelmissä
2014
Kulju, Henri Laadunvarmistus ketterissä ohjelmistokehitysmenetelmissä Jyväskylä: Jyväskylän yliopisto, 2014, 26 s. Tietojärjestelmätiede, Kandidaatin tutkielma Ohjaaja: Makkonen, Pekka Tässä tutkielmassa tarkastellaan laadunvarmistusta ketterissä ohjelmistokehitysmenetelmissä. Ohjelmiston laadunvarmistus on tärkeässä roolissa koko ohjelmiston elinkaaren aikana ja sillä voi olla suuri vaikutus koko ohjelmistoprojektin onnistumiseen. Jos siihen ei kiinnitetä tarpeeksi huomiota, voi tuloksena olla aikataulun viivästyksiä, budjetin ylityksiä sekä huonolaatuista ohjelmistoa. Tutkielmassa esitellään ketteriä menetelmiä yleisellä tasolla, sekä tarkastellaan kahta menetelmää tarkemmin. Nämä menetel…
On the impact of computer science outreach events on K-12 students
2016
Many countries have begun to adopt computer science (CS) and computational thinking (CT) into national curricula of compulsory education and upper secondary education. It is argued that learning rigorous CS concepts not only secures a workforce for the future’s digital industries but also benefits all students by improving their problem-solving and logical reasoning skills. However, the popularity of CS as a university major declined in the beginning of the 21st century, resulting in the development of a range of student outreach activities to engage young students in the study of computing. This thesis originated from this need to attract and retain students in the CS field. The focus of thi…
Käytettävyyssuunnittelun asiantuntija- ja testausmenetelmien sisällyttäminen ketterään ohjelmistokehitykseen
2012
Tutkielmassa käsitellään käytettävyyssuunnittelun asiantuntija- ja testausmene-telmien sisällyttämistä ketterään ohjelmistokehitykseen. Aihetta on toistaiseksi tutkittu varsin vähän, mutta se on todettu tärkeäksi kehityssuunnaksi IT-alalla. Käytettävyyssuunnittelun ja ketterän ohjelmistokehityksen yhteneväiset tavoit-teet on todettu yhdeksi argumentiksi integroida menetelmät keskenään. Tutkielma käsittelee käytettävyyssuunnittelun yleisimmät asiantuntija- ja tes-tausmenetelmät, ketterän ohjelmistokehityksen filosofian sekä kaksi käytetyintä menetelmää, jotka ovat Scrum ja eXtreme Programming. Näiden ilmiöiden poh-jalta lähestytään käytettävyyssuunnittelun testaus- ja arviointimenetelmien si…
3D VIRTUAL CH INTERACTIVE INFORMATION SYSTEMS FOR A SMART WEB BROWSING EXPERIENCE FOR DESKTOP PCS AND MOBILE DEVICES
2018
Abstract. Recently, the diffusion of knowledge on Cultural Heritage (CH) has become an element of primary importance for its valorization. At the same time, the diffusion of surveys based on UAV Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) technologies and new methods of photogrammetric reconstruction have opened new possibilities for 3D CH representation. Furthermore the recent development of faster and more stable internet connections leads people to increase the use of mobile devices. In the light of all this, the importance of the development of Virtual Reality (VR) environments applied to CH is strategic for the diffusion of knowledge in a smart solution. In particular, the present work shows how, s…
GLOBE BASED 3D GIS SOLUTIONS FOR VIRTUAL HERITAGE
2018
Abstract. During the last years, many solutions have been proposed for 3D Virtual Heritage representations. Recently, also new technologies for online gaming evolved, based on javascript libraries (WebGL), used to create and publish virtual interactive environments. They are based on recent Web browser’s functionalities, surpassing some limitations of VRML technologies. On the side of geospatial information, technology has evolved from desktop GIS to 2D WebGIS and globe applications. The use of globe applications is, today, very diffused due to its immediate and at the same time impressive representation of the earth surface and territories. These technologies have been, also, applied to Vi…
SHINING 3D EINSCAN-PRO, application and validation in the field of Cultural Heritage, from the Chillida-Leku Museum to the Archaeological Museum of S…
2019
Abstract. The following contribution focuses on the low-cost Shining 3D EinScan-Pro scanner, above all the analysis of its precision and accuracy. The need to prove the functioning of this instrumentation in practical cases (the sculptures by Eduardo Chillida preserved in the Chillida-Leku Museum and along with some artefacts collected in the Archaeological Museum of Sarno), has led to the comparison and validation of the instrument through a methodology necessarily diversified from the guideline VDI/VDE 2634, part 2 and part 3, characteristics to the test the optical 3D measuring systems with planar measurement, which works according to the triangulation principle. In particular, two types…
PRACTICAL APPROACH FOR HYPERSPECTRAL IMAGE PROCESSING IN PYTHON
2018
Abstract. Python is a very popular programming language among data scientists around the world. Python can also be used in hyperspectral data analysis. There are some toolboxes designed for spectral imaging, such as Spectral Python and HyperSpy, but there is a need for analysis pipeline, which is easy to use and agile for different solutions. We propose a Python pipeline which is built on packages xarray, Holoviews and scikit-learn. We have developed some of own tools, MaskAccessor, VisualisorAccessor and a spectral index library. They also fulfill our goal of easy and agile data processing. In this paper we will present our processing pipeline and demonstrate it in practice.
Emotion Elicitation: A Comparison of Pictures and Films
2016
Abstract Pictures and film clips are widely used and accepted stimuli to elicit emotions. Based on theoretical arguments it is often assumed that the emotional effects of films exceed those of pictures, but to date this assumption has not been investigated directly. The aim of the present study was to compare pictures and films in terms of their capacity to induce emotions verified by means of explicit measures. Stimuli were (a) single pictures presented for 6 s, (b) a set of three consecutive pictures with emotionally congruent contents presented for 2 s each, (c) short film clips with a duration of 6 s. A total of 144 participants rated their emotion and arousal states following stimulus …
Analysis of the energy balance closure over a FLUXNET boreal forest in Finland
2010
Abstract. The imbalance in the surface energy budget, when using eddy-covariance techniques to measure turbulent fluxes, is still an unresolved problem. Important progresses have been reported in recent years identifying potential reasons for this lack of energy balance closure. In this paper we focus on the data collected in a FLUXNET boreal forest site in Sodankylä, Finland. Using one month half-hourly data, an average Energy Balance Ratio (EBR) of 0.72 is obtained. The inclusion of the heat storage terms in the energy budget yields an improvement of about 6% in the total closure. The sensitivity of the energy balance closure to the turbulence intensity is analysed in terms of the frictio…
