InDEx – Industrial Data Excellence

InDEx, the Industrial Data Excellence program, was created to investigate what industrial data can be collected, shared, and utilized for new intelligent services in high-performing, reliable and secure ways, and how to accomplish that in practice in the Finnish manufacturing industry.InDEx produced several insights into data in an industrial environment, collecting data, sharing data in the value chain and in the factory environment, and utilizing and manipulating data with artificial intelligence. Data has an important role in the future in an industrial context, but data sources and utilization mechanisms are more diverse than in cases related to consumer data. Experiences in the InDEx cases showed that there is great potential in data utili zation.Currently, successful business cases built on data sharing are either company-internal or utilize an existing value chain. The data market has not yet matured, and third-party offerings based on public and private data sources are rare. In this program, we tried out a framework that aimed to securely and in a controlled manner share data between organizations. We also worked to improve the contractual framework needed to support new business based on shared data, and we conducted a study of applicable business models. Based on this, we searched for new data-based opportunities within the project consortium. The vision of data as a tradeable good or of sharing with external partners is still to come true, but we believe that we have taken steps in the right direction.The program started in fall 2019 and ended in April 2022. The program faced restrictions caused by COVID-19, which had an effect on the intensity of the work during 2020 and 2021, and the program was extended by one year. Because of meeting restrictions, InDEx collaboration was realized through online meetings. We learned to work and collaborate using digital tools and environments. Despite the mentioned hindrances, and thanks to Business Finland’s flexibility, the extension time made it possible for most of the planned goals to be achieved.This report gives insights in the outcomes of the companies’ work within the InDEx program. DIMECC InDEx is the first finalized program by the members of the Finnish Advanced Manufacturing Network (FAMN, www.famn.fi).</p

Liikunnan vaikutukset ADHD-lasten oireisiin : opas 7-12-vuotiaiden ADHD-lasten kanssa toimiville aikuisille

Opinnäytetyön tarkoituksena oli luoda integroivan kirjallisuuskatsauksen pohjalta helppolukuinen opas, joka on suunniteltu ADHD-lasten kanssa toimiville aikuisille. Tavoitteena oli lisätä aikuisten tietoutta siitä, miten häiriö vaikuttaa lapsen toimintaan ja miten häiriökäytöstä voisi lääkkeettömästi liikunnan avulla lieventää. ADHD eli Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder on tarkkaavaisuuden ja aktiivisuuden häiriö. Oirekuvaan kuuluvat yleisimmin ylivilkkaus, impulsiivisuus ja tarkkaavaisuushäiriöt. Ajatus opinnäytetyön aiheesta muodostettiin yhdessä Voimisteluliiton projektipäällikön Jenni Tuomelan kanssa. Opas julkaistiin heidän verkkosivuillaan. Opinnäytetyö toteutettiin toiminnallisena opinnäytetyönä, jonka pohjana toimi integroivan ja systemaattisen kirjallisuuskatsauksen yhdistelmä. Aiheesta asetetut tutkimuskysymykset loivat opinnäytetyöhön viitekehykset. Tutkimusten tiedonhaku, valinta, analysointi ja johtopäätökset tehtiin tutkimuskysymysten pohjalta. Tiedonhaussa hyödynnettiin eri tietokantoja ja kirjallisuutta. Hakusanat muodostettiin tutkimuskysymysten perusteella. Hakua rajattiin tiettyyn ikäryhmään ja tutkimusten julkaisuvuoteen. Otsikoiden ja tiivistelmien perusteella valittiin tutkimukset, jotka täyttivät asetetut kriteerit. Lopulliseen sisältöanalyysiin valittiin 10 (n=10) tutkimusta. Tuloksissa keskeisiksi ADHD:ta lieventäviksi tekijöiksi nousi liikunnan intensiteetti, kesto ja tavoitteellisuus. Ilmeni, että ohjaamisella ja motivoinnilla on merkitystä liikuntaintervention onnistumisessa ja siten ADHD-oireiden lieventymisessä. Useimmissa tutkimuksissa aerobinen kohtuukuormitteinen liikunta näyttäytyi vaikuttavimpana keinona parantaa ADHD-lasten kognitiivista suorituskykyä. Kohtuukuormitteinen aerobinen liikunta soveltuu lääkkeettömäksi hoitomuodoksi lapsille, joilla on ADHD. Tulokset vahvistavat myös fysioterapian merkitystä hoitomuotona. Jatkotutkimuksena voisi selvittää, minkälainen aerobinen liikunta lievittää parhaiten ADHD-lasten oireita.ADHD stands for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. It is a medical condition that affects a person’s ability to maintain attention and impulse control, and it often manifests as hyperactivity. The aim of this study was to develop a guide-book for adults on the effects of exercise on children with ADHD. In this study integrative systematic review was used as a research method. The literature review process was based on the following research questions: What kind of a medical condition is ADHD? How does it affect the child’s performance? How can it be treated without the use of medication? How does exercise affect the symptoms? Is there any significance with regards to the type and intensity of the physical exercise? How is the content for the guidebook selected? Overall, 10 (n=10) researches were chosen for a more elaborate scaling. The results showed that moderate aerobic exercise mitigates the symptoms of children with ADHD the most. The duration should be around 15 - 90 minutes and the optimal heart rate would have to be 50 - 70 % of the maximum. Most importantly, physical exercise should be goal-directed. Based on the results physiotherapy is an effective treatment for ADHD. Furthermore, investigations on what kind of aerobic and/or physical exercise is most effective for children with ADHD, are required. More research on this topic should be conducted in the future

Skilsmässor bland invandrare - "hon ville ha det på ett annat sätt och det var där det började"

The main purpose of this essay was to study immigrants and social assistants view on why immigrants go through divorce, and why so many marriages among immigrants end in divorce. Do immigrants seek help when they go through divorce? What kind of methods does the social assistants use when they try to help immigrants with marital problems? Is it possible that shortcomings in the professional methods may be conducive to divorce? What effect does powers structures within the family have on marital problems? What do the clients think of the help they receive, and what kind of understanding do the social assistants have for the immigrants' marital problems? We did a qualitative study, and interviewed seven people. Three are immigrants who are divorced, two work as family counsellors and two work as family law secretaries. We found that the different groups had a similar view on reasons for divorce among immigrants. All of them mentioned the women's increasing power as one cause for the high divorce numbers among immigrants. The main difference between the family counsellors and the family law secretaries was that the family counsellors were not inclined to talk about structural factors to the same extent that the family law secretaries were

Kohti kestävää hyvinvointia : Hyvinvointitaloudellinen näkökulma kansalliseen politiikkaohjaukseen Suomessa

Hyvinvointitalous on päätöksenteon lähestymistapa, jonka päämääränä on sosiaalisen, taloudellisen ja ekologisen kestävyyden nykyistä parempi tasapaino. Hyvinvointitaloudessa päätösten sosiaalisia, ekologisia ja taloudellisia vaikutuksia tarkastellaan vastavuoroisesti pyrkien hahmottamaan myös päätösten pitkäaikaiset vaikutukset ihmisten ja luonnon hyvinvointiin. Tässä työpaperissa kuvataan hyvinvointitaloudelliseen tarkasteluun soveltuva kestävän hyvinvoinnin viitekehys. Lisäksi kuvataan hyvinvointitaloudellisen ohjauksen toimeenpanon mahdollisuuksia osana valtionhallinnon keskeistä ohjausta. Työpaperi on tehty Suomen kestävän kasvun ohjelmassa (RRP). Terveyden ja hyvinvoinnin laitos on saanut rahoitusta Kestävän kasvun ohjelmaan EU:n kertaluonteisesta elpymisvälineestä (Next Generation EU)

Pathogenicity of Fusarium oxysporum and Fusarium proliferatum isolates from symptomless onions (Allium cepa) and onions with Fusarium basal rot

Several Fusarium species cause disease in onion (Allium cepa), resulting in significant yield losses. In this study, isolates of Fusarium oxysporum and Fusarium proliferatum from diseased and symptomless mature onion bulbs were tested for pathogenicity on onion seedlings and mature bulbs. For F. oxysporum isolates, the outcome of the test on mature bulbs correlated well with the symptom status of the original bulb, whereas for F. proliferatum, such a correlation was not seen, suggesting a different mechanism of symptom development. Those F. oxysporum isolates that carried the Secreted In Xylem (SIX) genes, CRX genes and C5 gene were significantly more aggressive on both seedlings and mature bulbs. However, the SIX-negative F. oxysporum isolates also significantly reduced the emergence of onion seedlings, and thus a division into pathogenic and nonpathogenic F. oxysporum isolates was not obvious. On mature bulbs, those SIX-negative isolates that carried the gene CRX2 were significantly more virulent than those without CRX2. The F. proliferatum isolates were all pathogenic to onion and carried one SIX2 gene homologue, SIX2-1. The majority of F. proliferatum isolates also carried another homologue, SIX2-2. Several isolates negative for SIX2-2 had another potential virulence gene, CRX2, suggesting that these two genes could encode overlapping functions. The SIX2-2 sequence was identical in all those isolates harbouring it, while SIX2-1 showed variation that agreed with the phylogeny based on the translation elongation factor 1-alpha sequence. This suggests that the two SIX2 genes of F. proliferatum might have been acquired separately.Peer reviewe
