Lämmitysjärjestelmän datankeruu ja analysointi
Get PDFTässä opinnäytetyössä käytiin läpi esineiden internetin perusteita ja kehitettiin sovellus prosessiarvojen tallentamiseen pilvipalveluun. Sovelluksen on tarkoitus tulla Pirkanmaan liiton rahoittamaan Tarkalla ohjauksella energiatehokkuutta -hankkeeseen. Työssä perehdyttiin nykyisiin viestintäprotokolliin ja niiden toimintaan esineiden internet sovelluksessa. Tämän lisäksi työssä käydään eri tietokantavaihtoehtoja ja niiden hyödyntämistä pilvipalveluissa. Työn tavoitteena oli luoda sovellus, jossa hyödynnetään pilvipalvelun esineiden internet sovelluksia.
Työn aikana kerättiin tietoa erilaisista esineiden internetissä käytettävistä viestintäprotokollista ja tietokantavaihtoehdoista. Työssä myös tutustuttiin erilaisiin pilvipalveluntarjoajiin, joista suurimmassa keskiössä oli Microsoft Azuren -pilvipalvelun konfigurointi ja sinne lähetettävän datan keräys tietokantaan.
Työssä kehitettiin sovellus, jossa lähetettiin dataa Microsoft Azuren -pilvipalveluun, jossa palvelussa sisäisesti data säilöttiin pilvipalvelun tietokantaan. Sovelluksen data lähettämiseen ja lukemiseen käytettiin hyödyksi Node-RED kehitysympäristöä, jonka avulla pystyttiin muodostamaan informaatiosivu, jossa luetusta datasta muodostettiin kuvaaja.In this Bachelor’s thesis project, the author examined the concept of The Internet of Things (IoT), and developed an application to storage process values to the cloud service.

Finland update on national report with the focus on men's violence
No full texti. This report focuses on violences, especially men’s interpersonal violences, in keeping with the main themes in the Co-ordination Action on Human Rights Violation.
ii. The gendered study of violence has not been a high priority in research in Finland until recently.
iii. The most important research initiative in relation to men’s violences has been the Academy of Finland “Targeted Call”: Gender, Power and Violence (2000-2004).
iv. Recent research has emphasised the gendered nature of violence, especially men’s violence to women; there appears to be an increase in approaches that bring together materialist and discursive analyses of these violences.
v. The most important policy intervention have been the National Programme for the Prevention of Prostitution and Violence Against Women (1998-2002, and a number of legal reforms in violence against women, sexual violence and trafficking, that have generally sought to increase safety

Get PDFAuthor: Atte Auvinen
Title of thesis: FINANCIAL MISMANAGEMENT IN THE FOOTBALL INDUSTRY – SOLUTIONS AND FUTURE BUSINESS OPERATIONS
Date: 5 April 2021
Degree: Bachelor of Science in Economics and Business Administration
Supervisor: Marta Zieba
Objectives
The main objective of this study was to identify areas of financial mismanagement in the football industry, introduce previous solutions, and discuss possible improvements and new solutions. Additionally, to create a basic understanding of the industry, a throughout introduction is made by identifying the business models, structure, and nature of football clubs.
Summary
The study was conducted through literature, official documents from the regulatory bodies (UEFA, Deloitte), and data from different databases (UEFA, transfermarkt.com). These were used to identify the areas of financial mismanagement, and to introduce the existing regulations, which were used as a base for further discussion on possible solutions.
Conclusions
Based on the literature and current financial situation of football clubs, it can be concluded that football clubs have to choose between sporting success and financial success, and live in a hypercompetitive environment, where they generate negligible profits and are always close to insolvency. Discussed solutions include the introduction of a legal body with control over the European football clubs, which creates the possibility for more coherent regulations, or even for a hard salary cap.

Text Analysis Methods for Misinformation–Related Research on Finnish Language Twitter
No full textThe dissemination of disinformation and fabricated content on social media is growing. Yet little is known of what the functional Twitter data analysis methods are for languages (such as Finnish) that include word formation with endings and word stems together with derivation and compounding. Furthermore, there is a need to understand which themes linked with misinformation—and the concepts related to it—manifest in different countries and language areas in Twitter discourse. To address this issue, this study explores misinformation and its related concepts: disinformation, fake news, and propaganda in Finnish language tweets. We utilized (1) word cloud clustering, (2) topic modeling, and (3) word count analysis and clustering to detect and analyze misinformation-related concepts and themes connected to those concepts in Finnish language Twitter discussions. Our results are two-fold: (1) those concerning the functional data analysis methods and (2) those about the themes connected in discourse to the misinformation-related concepts. We noticed that each utilized method individually has critical limitations, especially all the automated analysis methods processing for the Finnish language, yet when combined they bring value to the analysis. Moreover, we discovered that politics, both internal and external, are prominent in the Twitter discussions in connection with misinformation and its related concepts of disinformation, fake news, and propaganda
Converging corporate laws : development and framework of corporate takeover defensive tactics between United States and Finland
No full textDeveloped common-law jurisdictions have had better economic performance in comparison to continental European countries. An integral part of corporate risk management is defending against hostile takeover attempts. Hostile takeover activity is by majority represented in the countries with more widely dispersed share ownership, such as the United States and United Kingdom. One side suggests that ultimately corporate governance structures around the global economy will converge with the United States shareholder-oriented model.
This paper will focus on discussing whether the United States practices in mergers and acquisitions regarding hostile takeover defensive tactics have impacted the way regulators in Europe and Finland allow and apply similar takeover defense corporate governance mechanisms. The author will compare U.S. law and case law to the European Takeover Directive and later to the Finnish Limited Liability Companies Act and the Securities Markets Act. The research question is whether Finland as part of the EU is converging to the Anglo-American legal standard in terms of hostile takeover defense tactics.
The author finds that elements of U.S. corporate law has been transplanted to Finnish corporate laws and that similar tactics aimed at frustrating or defeating a hostile takeover can be used in Finland

Professional Social Media Usage : Work Engagement Perspective
Get PDFSocial media enables information sharing and social interaction within organization. This research aims to analyze how both work- and nonwork-related communication with colleagues and the work community on social media is associated with work engagement among Finnish professionals. A total of five Finnish professional organizations (N = 563) and a representative sample of the Finnish working population (N = 1817) contributed to the survey data, which was analyzed with structural equation modeling. We found a direct positive association between work-related communication and work engagement among Finnish working population, and a positive indirect associations between both work- and nonwork-related communication and work engagement via organizational identification and social support. Findings suggest that communication in social media supports work engagement via organizational identification and social support. Organizations should pay more attention to social media communication practices and provide opportunities to build organizational identification and receive social support in social media.Peer reviewe
