    OK Talk brings together designers, artists and theorists operating in Finland and Britain to talk about emerging questions in design philosophy and strategic design. The series of events started at Helsinki Design Week on September 4 Topics Making Places Making Places takes a fresh view on spatial practice. It studies both existing and imaginary places, looking at their creation, evolution and essence. The speakers for the two Making Places talks, one in Helsinki and another one in London, range from architects that build, design systems or make music to researchers and designers who create places through cultural activities or visual identities. Using Helsinki and London as starting points, we will encourage the discussion to revolve freely around placemaking in relation to day and night, the natural and the human-made, infrastructure and spirit of spaces, cities and citizens, or planning and spontaneity. Strategies of Participation Strategies of Participation explores the design of encounters, interactions and collaborations. Having used tools and methods such as intuition, friends, different media, travelling, coffee and the paper that you are holding in making OK Talk, we are keen on learning new ways to design participation. The panelists include creative professionals in the fields of interaction design and cultural production specialised in events, online platforms or exhibitions. They are invited to share their skills and insights on creating constructive collisions between people. Borderlands Borderlands explores the crossing of boundaries between design, art and other fields with an emphasis on collaborative practices. The idea of this talk is to look at the role of the designer in the increasingly interconnected world where we see the ambiguity of professional identity, often connected with varied locations, people and modes of practice, as an asset. What can working in between disciplines offer for creative professionals and the world at large? How are design processes changing? The speakers will tackle these questions through their backgrounds that vary from architecture and music to critical and experimental design, publishing and curating.

    Tämän opinnäytetyön tarkoituksena oli markkinointiviestinnän kehittäminen Ok Venepalvelu Oy:n toimeksiannosta. Työssä tutkittiin Ok Venepalvelu Oy:n asiakkaisiin kohdentamaa markkinointiviestintää asiakkaisiin kohdistuvan kyselylomakkeen muodossa ja annettiin tulosten perusteella markkinointiviestintään liittyviä kehitysehdotuksia. Tämän opinnäytetyön tutkimusmenetelmänä käytettiin kvalitatiivista eli laadullista tutkimusmenetelmää. Tiedonkeruu toteutettiin käsin täytettävänä asiakaskyselylomakkeena Ok Venepalvelu Oy:n toimitiloissa. Kysely rajattiin koskemaan Ok Venepalvelu Oy:n asiakaskuntaa ja Ok Venepalvelu Oy:n markkinointiviestintää. Kyselylomakkeita toimitettiin Ok Venepalvelu Oy:n toimitiloihin 15 kappaletta, joista 9 kappaletta palautettiin täytettynä. Kyselylomakkeen vastausajaksi määritettiin aikaväli 21.2.2025-21.3.2025. Vastausajan päättyessä kyselylomakkeet analysoitiin ja vastausten perusteella annettiin Ok Venepalvelu Oy:lle kehitysehdotuksia liittyen asiakkaisiin kohdistuvaan markkinointiviestintään. Kehitysehdotukset laadittiin palvelemaan mahdollisimman hyvin Ok Venepalvelu Oy:n tarpeita markkinointiviestinnän kehittämisessä, jotta nykyisiä ja potentiaalisia asiakkaita tavoitettaisiin paremmin. Kehitysehdotukset suunniteltiin Ok Venepalvelu Oy:lle helposti toteutettaviksi, ja mahdolliseksi myös soveltaa ehdotuksia yritykselle parhaaksi sopivalla tavalla. Tälle työlle löytyy monia jatkotutkimusmahdollisuuksia. Jatkotutkimusmahdollisuutena voisi olla esimerkiksi tässä työssä esitettyjen kehitysehdotusten käyttöönoton vaikutus, ja tutkimuksessa voisi selvittää onko asiakkaisiin kohdistuva markkinointiviestintä tehokkaampaa kuin ennen.The purpose of this thesis was to develop marketing communications on behalf of Ok Venepalvelu Oy. In the research, marketing communications targeted at customers by Ok Venepalvelu Oy were studied in the form of a customer questionnaire and based on the results, development proposals related to marketing communications were given. A qualitative research method was used as the research method for this thesis. The data collection was carried out as a manually completed customer questionnaire at Ok Venepalvelu Oy's premises. The survey was limited to Ok Venepalvelu Oy's customer base and Ok Venepalvelu Oy's marketing communications. 15 questionnaires were submitted to Ok Venepalvelu Oy's premises, of which 9 were returned filled in. The response time of the questionnaire was set to be between February 21. 2025 and March 21. 2025. At the end of the response period, the questionnaires were analysed and based on the responses, development proposals were given to Ok Venepalvelu Oy in relation to marketing communications to customers. The development proposals were prepared to serve the needs of Ok Venepalvelu Oy as well as possible in the development of marketing communications in order to reach better current and potential customers. The development proposals were designed to be easy for Ok Venepalvelu Oy to implement, and it was also possible to apply the proposals in a manner that best suits the company. There are many opportunities for further research for this work. Further research could include, for example, the impact of implementing the development proposals presented in this work, and the research could examine whether marketing communications to customers are more effective than before

    Antitumor effects of the combination chemotherapy with hemolytic streptococcus preparation, OK-432, and various anticancer agents were observed on experimental tumors and human cancers. Experimental studies revealed that combined use of OK-432 with Mitomycin C, Nitrogen mustard N-Oxide or Bleomycin was remarkably effective on rodent transplantable tumors such as Ehrlich carcinoma, sarcoma-lOO and rat ascitic hepatoma AH-66. As for the mode of action of OK-432, besides a direct action on cancer cells, a host-mediated action appears to be also involved. Clinical trials were made on 14 cases with various advanced cancers, and favorable response was obtained in 5 with lung cancer. Fever was the major side effect of OK-432 and there was no evidence of bone marrow suppression.</p
