Feasibility of Software-Based Duty Cycling of GPS for Trajectory-Based Services
No full textEnergy-efficient localization is increasingly important for many types of smartphone apps. The research community has argued that fixed duty cycling of GPS is not a good choice for trajectory-based services concerning route accuracy. In this paper, we describe the design and implementation of a highly accurate map matching and path construction algorithm. Furthermore, with thorough field experiments, we show that fixed duty cycling of a smartphone GPS receiver is a feasible approach for trajectory-based services, and it can achieve considerable energy conservation without sacrificing much route accuracy. When increasing the GPS sampling period beyond 120 seconds, it saves at least 78% energy in comparison to continuous GPS sampling, while the loss of route accuracy tends to be stable around 23%.Li, Xiaohan, Yuan, Fengpeng, & Lindqvist, Janne.

On My Way: Optimizing Driving Routes for Navigation Applications
No full textConventionally, the route recommendations given by GPS navigation applications have been considered as the optimal route search problem only between two locations - origin and destination. Sometimes people want to visit several intermediate locations prior to reaching their final destination. For example, travelers may want to visit a diner and a gas station before arriving at their vacation destination. Although there is likely to be many choices that are available along the route to the destination, only one place from each type should be chosen. Furthermore, in new emerging application domains, such as “physical-world crowdsourcing”, people may want to opportunistically visit some places in order to complete personal or work related tasks. Our work explores a design space where we try to reduce the amount of requests made to third-party map and route data providers. We explore the simple idea of using the Euclidean distance as a rough estimate for the optimal route between destinations with multiple waypoints. Our preliminary results indicate that with over 80% of test cases, this simple Euclidean distance estimator approach gives at least one optimal routing alternative.Yuan, Fengpeng, Song, Xueyuan & Lindqvist, Janne.

Vertikaalinen tuotteistaminen yli tuotteen elinkaaren : Yhteismarkkinointi yhteisen kaupallisen tuoteportfolion kautta
No full textAbstractCompanies are finding new ways to do business to survive in today’s competition. To meet their business objectives, companies can gain an access to resources and assets by cooperating with other companies. Co-marketing is a form of interorganisational cooperation in which companies combine their marketing resources to gain benefits they would not gain by themselves. However, the lack of understanding over the companies’ own product offerings is potentially hindering the success of co-marketing activities. Productisation over vertical product structure levels and product lifecycle phases may help in gaining the needed understanding.The main objective of this dissertation is to clarify the role of vertical productisation over product lifecycle in co-marketing through a joint commercial product portfolio. Co-marketing through a joint commercial product portfolio is introduced as a novel form of co-marketing. Qualitative research was conducted to study companies’ current practices on productisation and product portfolio management, clarify the role of productisation as a precondition for co-marketing through a joint commercial product portfolio, and construct an approach to productise a joint commercial product portfolio.The results indicate that companies should productise their independent offerings vertically over product structure levels and horizontally over lifecycle phases to gain an understanding over the sellable and deliverable offering in different product lifecycle phases. The vertical and horizontal productisation dimensions should be utilised also in product portfolio management target-setting to help in making decisions on products. Having a clear and up-to-date understanding of the companies’ current independent product portfolios acts as a prerequisite for maintaining an up-to-date joint commercial product portfolio. A common product structure logic should be utilised to productise a joint commercial product portfolio.Original papersOriginal papers are not included in the electronic version of the dissertation.Mustonen, E., Härkönen, J., & Haapasalo, H.

Companies are finding new ways to do business to survive in today’s competition. To meet their business objectives, companies can gain an access to resources and assets by cooperating with other companies. Co-marketing is a form of interorganisational cooperation in which companies combine their marketing resources to gain benefits they would not gain by themselves. However, the lack of understanding over the companies’ own product offerings is potentially hindering the success of co-marketing activities. Productisation over vertical product structure levels and product lifecycle phases may help in gaining the needed understanding.
The main objective of this dissertation is to clarify the role of vertical productisation over product lifecycle in co-marketing through a joint commercial product portfolio. Co-marketing through a joint commercial product portfolio is introduced as a novel form of co-marketing. Qualitative research was conducted to study companies’ current practices on productisation and product portfolio management, clarify the role of productisation as a precondition for co-marketing through a joint commercial product portfolio, and construct an approach to productise a joint commercial product portfolio.
The results indicate that companies should productise their independent offerings vertically over product structure levels and horizontally over lifecycle phases to gain an understanding over the sellable and deliverable offering in different product lifecycle phases. The vertical and horizontal productisation dimensions should be utilised also in product portfolio management target-setting to help in making decisions on products. Having a clear and up-to-date understanding of the companies’ current independent product portfolios acts as a prerequisite for maintaining an up-to-date joint commercial product portfolio. A common product structure logic should be utilised to productise a joint commercial product portfolio.Tiivistelmä

Expedition Greenland 2019
No full textOpinnäytetyön aiheena on Expedition Greenland 2019-niminen projekti ja siihen sisältyvän retkikunnan tutkimusmatka Grönlantiin sekä tutkimusmatkan kuvaaminen ja dokumentointi. Tutkimusmatkan suunnittelu alkoi helmikuussa 2019 ja itse matka toteutettiin elokuussa 2019. Ennen varsinaista tutkimusmatkaa tehtiin useita harjoituksia, jotka dokumentoitiin kuvaamalla. Tämä mahdollisti kuvamateriaalin julkaisemisen ja tutkimusmatkan markkinoinnin sosiaalisessa mediassa jo ennen matkaa. Tutkimusmatkan tavoitteena oli viedä Grönlantiin joukko suomalaisia julkisuudenhenkilöitä perehtymään siihen, mitä ilmastonmuutos merkitsee Grönlannille. Toisaalta haluttiin tutkia ulkona luonnossa liikkumisen vaikutusta ihmisen palautumiseen henkisestä ja fyysisestä stressistä.
Opinnäytetyön tavoitteena on tehdä dokumentti ja havannollistaa dokumentin teossa sovellettujen ohjelmien Adobe Premiere ja Adobe After Effect käyttöä ja ominaisuukksia. Lisäksi tavoitteena on kuvailla ja havainnollistaa dokumentin tekemiseen, erityisesti editointiin, liittyviä työvaiheita.
Opinnäytetyö on suunnattu kaikille graaffisen alan opiskelijoille, harrastaille ja ammattilaisille. Opinnäytetyössä selitän havainnollisesti yllä mainittujen ohjelmien peruselementit, joten opinnäyte soveltuu myös sellaisille lukijoille, joilla ei ole aiempaa kokemusta dokumentoinnista ja editoinnista.
Projektin kuluessa korostui kuvauskäsikirjoituksen sekä kuvaajan ja editoijan välisen kommunikaation tärkeys. Projektin lopputuloksena syntyi 50 minuutin dokumentti retkikunnan matkasta, jonka aikana he tekivät ensinousun ennen nimeämättömälle vuorelle.Toimeksiantona oli dokumentoida tutkimusmatka Grönlantiin. Dokumentista tuli 50 minuuttia pitkä. Dokumentissa seurataan, kuinka retkikunta valmistautui matkaan ja miten matka sujui

Peter Pohls litterära projekt : en tematisk studie med utgångspunkt i debutromanen Janne, min vän
No full textIn his literary works, the Swedish author Peter Pohl (b. 1940) persistently deals with the issue of friendship which is described as a source of joy and consolation as well as a cause for difficulties and pain. Another common theme in his writing is vulnerability, especially that of children and adolescents, as he regards them as particularly exposed to violence and injustice. Pohl features the act of telling as an important instrument in the process of personal development on many different levels. Finally, his authorship shows that his purpose is to be a spokesman for those who cannot speak for themselves. These four topics which are visible in the main part of his production represent the most important aspects of Pohl's literary project which may be described as a desire to improve the conditions of less privileged groups of society. This thesis deals with the works by Pohl written between 1985 and 2007. In the first chapter, the author is presented. The second chapter is an analysis of his first novel Janne, min vän with a special focus on the above-mentioned themes. Chapter three deals with the novel Malins kung Gurra, a story for young readers that can be looked upon as second, but simpler version of Janne, min vän. In chapter four, the five novels Regnbågen har bara åtta färger, Medan regnbågen bleknar, Vi kallar honom Anna, Vilja växa and Klara papper är ett måste are analyzed and discussed. The last chapter is an attempt at dealing with the remaining books written by Pohl. The aim is to establish whether these works are compatible with the general picture given of Pohl’s literary project
