OBJECTIVES: Different accelerometer cutpoints used by different researchers often yields vastly different estimates of moderate-to-vigorous intensity physical activity (MVPA). This is recognized as cutpoint non-equivalence (CNE), which reduces the ability to accurately compare youth MVPA across studies. The objective of this research is to develop a cutpoint conversion system that standardizes minutes of MVPA for six different sets of published cutpoints. DESIGN: Secondary data analysis. METHODS: Data from the International Children's Accelerometer Database (ICAD; Spring 2014) consisting of 43,112 Actigraph accelerometer data files from 21 worldwide studies (children 3-18 years, 61.5% female) were used to develop prediction equations for six sets of published cutpoints. Linear and non-linear modeling, using a leave one out cross-validation technique, was employed to develop equations to convert MVPA from one set of cutpoints into another. Bland Altman plots illustrate the agreement between actual MVPA and predicted MVPA values. RESULTS: Across the total sample, mean MVPA ranged from 29.7MVPAmind(-1) (Puyau) to 126.1MVPAmind(-1) (Freedson 3 METs). Across conversion equations, median absolute percent error was 12.6% (range: 1.3 to 30.1) and the proportion of variance explained ranged from 66.7% to 99.8%. Mean difference for the best performing prediction equation (VC from EV) was -0.110mind(-1) (limits of agreement (LOA), -2.623 to 2.402). The mean difference for the worst performing prediction equation (FR3 from PY) was 34.76mind(-1) (LOA, -60.392 to 129.910). CONCLUSIONS: For six different sets of published cutpoints, the use of this equating system can assist individuals attempting to synthesize the growing body of literature on Actigraph, accelerometry-derived MVPA.

Market orientation is the organizational culture that creates the necessary behaviors for continuous additional value for customers and thus continuous superior performance for the business. The field of market orientation has been studied repeatedly during the past two decades. Yet research has concentrated on large firms in large domestic markets creating a need for diversifying research. The master’s thesis at hand examined the general incidence of market orientation among SMEs from five different industries as well as its consequences on SME performance. The empirical part of the thesis was conducted with a web-based survey that resulted in 255 responses. The data of the survey was analyzed by statistical analysis. The incidence of market orientation varied among dimensions and market orientation did not show any direct effect on firm performance. Customer orientation was the only dimension that showed a direct (positive) effect. On the contrary, moderating effects were found which indicate that the effect of market orientation in SMEs is influenced by other factors that should receive further attention. Also industry specific differences were discovered and should be further examined.

Työ käsittelee vuonna 2007 puhjenneen finanssikriisin syitä, seurauksia ja ratkaisumalleja sekä vaikutuksia suomalaisiin vientiyrityksiin. Kriisin syynä ei voida yksistään pitää yhdysvaltalaisten pankkien antamia subprime-lainoja, vaan todellisuudessa kriisi syntyi useiden tapahtumien summana. Muita syitä ovat esimerkiksi valvonnan puutteellisuus, rahoitusmarkkinoiden muuttuminen globaaleiksi ja Yhdysvaltain keskuspankin harjoittama matalan koron politiikka. Finanssikriisin suoria vaikutuksia olivat rahoituksen saamisen vaikeutuminen ja luottamuksen katoaminen finanssimarkkinoilta. Epäsuoria vaikutuksia finanssikriisistä aiheutuu reaalitalouden ongelmien kautta. Näitä ovat esimerkiksi yritysten kysynnän ja tulosten heikkeneminen sekä lisääntyneet luottotappiot. Yksityishenkilöille seuraukset näkyvät irtisanomisten ja lomautusten kautta. Suomen vienti laskee jo pelkästään kysynnän heikkenemisen seurauksena, mutta lisäksi vaarana on protektionististen toimien vähentävän ulkomaankauppaa. Kriisin seurauksena voi myös aiheutua vaara, että yritysten omistus siirtyy ulkomaisille sijoittajille. Finanssikriisin ratkaisemiseksi tärkeät toimet ovat maailmanlaajuisen valvontajärjestelmän luominen ja sellaiset elvytystoimet, joilla saadaan kysyntä palaamaan kasvuun. Kaikkein tärkeintä on saada palautettua luottamus finanssimarkkinoille. Valtioiden tulee olla erittäin tarkkana, etteivät elvytystoimet vaaranna vapaata kilpailua ja näin ollen maailman vapaakauppaa.

Diplomityön tarkoituksena oli kehittää mikroprosessoriohjattu digitaalinen pölymittarituoteperhe vanhan analogisen hiukkasmittarin tilalle. Työssä käydään läpi mittarin teoreettista perustaa ja kehitysprojektin eri vaiheita sekä tutustutaan hiukkasmittauksen perusteisiin, lainsäädäntöön sekä hiukkasten terveysvaikutuksiin, joista saadaan motivaatiota sille, miksi hiukkasia yleensä kannattaa ja pitää mitata. Työssä tutustutaan myös lainsäädännön mittarilta vaatimiin hyväksyntöihin eri sovelluskohteissa, käytännön mittauksissa esiintyviin haasteisiin sekä käydään läpi hyväk-syntöjen läpäisemiseksi vaaditut testit. Diplomityön lopuksi tutustutaan mittarin kaupalliseen menestykseen, ehdotetaan kehi-tyskohteita ja tutustutaan tribosähköisen mittauksen tulevaisuuden mahdollisuuksiin.

The purpose of this Master’s thesis is to examine the IT Service Management (ITSM) capabilities of a large international company and develop a design for the IT Service Management of the company. The thesis consists of two parts: a literature review and a case study. The first part is the literature review. It examines different aspects of IT Service Management. The purpose of the literature review is to increase the credibility of the case study. In the case study, the IT Service Management of a large industrial company is assessed, and an improved design for IT Service Management is created. The services are limited to common IT services, and management is limited to operative management. To assess and develop the case company’s IT Service Management, the IT organization and its ITSM capabilities are analyzed, and on the basis of the analyses, an improved IT Service Management model is created. As a result of the analyses, it was found out that the management of the IT organization is function-oriented. Therefore, the organization needs a management model that breaks the functional borders and brings services to the center of management. The designed model aspires to achieve this by defining IT services and modeling management processes from the service perspective.

The purpose of the thesis is to analyze whether the returns of general stock market indices of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania follow the random walk hypothesis (RWH), and in addition, whether they are consistent with the weak-form efficiency criterion. Also the existence of the day-of-the-week anomaly is examined in the same regional markets. The data consists of daily closing quotes of the OMX Tallinn, Riga and Vilnius total return indices for the sample period from January 3, 2000 to August 28, 2009. Moreover, the full sample period is also divided into two sub-periods. The RWH is tested by applying three quantitative methods (i.e. the Augmented Dickey-Fuller unit root test, serial correlation test and non-parametric runs test). Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) regression with dummy variables is employed to detect the day-of-the-week anomalies. The random walk hypothesis (RWH) is rejected in the Estonian and Lithuanian stock markets. The Latvian stock market exhibits more efficient behaviour, although some evidence of inefficiency is also found, mostly during the first sub-period from 2000 to 2004. Day-of-the-week anomalies are detected on every stock market examined, though no longer during the later sub-period.
