Tietoturvallisuuden hallintajärjestelmät terveydenhuollon organisaatiossa

Tietoturvallisuuden hallintajärjestelmä on organisaation laatujärjestelmän osa, joka keskittyy tietoturvallisuuteen liittyvien riskien hallintaan. Tässä työssä esitellään erityisesti terveydenhuoltoalaan liittyviä tietoturvavaatimuksia ja vertaillaan kuutta tietoturvallisuuden hallintajärjestelmämallia. Työssä tutkitaan millaisia eroja tietoturvallisuuden hallintajärjestelmien rakenteessa ja kattavuudessa on ja miten ne kykenevät vastaamaan terveydenhuoltoalan tietoturvaan liittyviin erityistarpeisiin. Lopputuloksena valitaan parhaiten soveltuva tietoturvallisuuden hallintajärjestelmä esimerkkiorganisaatiolle, joka on julkisomisteinen kuntoutusyhtiö. Arvioitavia hallintajärjestelmämalleja ovat TCSEC, ITSEC, Common Criteria, SOGP, VAHTI-ohjeet sekä ISO/IEC 27001 -standardiperhe. Tietoturvallisuuden hallintajärjestelmämalleja verrataan kahdesta aiemmasta tutkimuksesta sovellettujen vertailumallien pohjalta. Vertailun perusteella todetaan TCSEC, ITSEC ja Common Criteria –standardien olevan muita arvioituja hallintajärjestelmämalleja suppeampia ja soveltuvan parhaiten tekniseen tuotekehitystoimintaan. Laajempia SOGP-, VAHTI- ja ISO/IEC 27001 –malleja verrataan vielä erikseen terveydenhuollon sekä esimerkkiyrityksen erityistarpeisiin nähden ja lopputuloksena päädytään valitsemaan esimerkkiyritykselle parhaiten soveltuvaksi hallintajärjestelmämalliksi ISO/IEC 27001.

Ympäristö- ja turvallisuustoiminnan kehittäminen kemikaaleja käyttävissä konepajoissa

Tämä diplomityö tehtiin Sampo-Rosenlewin Porin tehtaan toimeksiannosta. Työn tavoitteena oli kehittää ympäristö- ja turvallisuustoimintaa tehtaalla. Ympäristö- ja turvallisuustoimintaa kehitettiin luomalla toimintajärjestelmä sekä valitsemalla riskienhallintamenetelmä POA. Uusien työkalujen tuonti mukaan toimintakulttuuriin todettiin haastavaksi, sillä turvallisuus- ja ympäristökulttuuri on vielä matalalla tasolla. Ympäristö- ja turvallisuustoiminnan tasoa ja hallintakeinoja tutkittiin benchmarkkaamalla kolmea saman kokoluokan teollisuusyritystä ja keräämällä hyväksi todettuja metodeja toimintajärjestelmään. Sampo-Rosenlew on Porissa sijaitseva konepaja, joka valmistaa leikkuupuimureita ja metsäkoneita. Sampo-Rosenlew käyttää konepajana paljon kemikaaleja johtuen kolmesta maalaamostaan. Työn tavoitteena oli parantaa Sampo-Rosenlewin ympäristö- ja turvallisuusasioiden nykyistä tilaa erilaisten työkalujen avulla, joita yritykselle luotiin. Työssä kehitettiin Sampo-Rosenlewille toimintajärjestelmä ISO 14001 ympäristöjärjestelmästandardia ja OHSAS 18001 TTT- järjestelmästandardia mukaillen. Luotu toimintajärjestelmä on tulevaisuudessa tavoitteena sertifioida. Valittua riskianalyysimenetelmä POA:aa tullaan pilottivaiheessa testaamaan aluksi yrityksen maalaamoissa. Toimintajärjestelmä ja riskienhallintamenetelmä pyrittiin luomaan mahdollisimman yksinkertaiseksi, selkeäksi ja helpoksi kehittää. Näiden menetelmien käyttöönoton onnistumiseen vaikuttavat nykyinen toimintakulttuuri ja ylimmän johdon sitoutuminen asiaan. Järjestelmän käyttöönoton myötä on tavoitteena Sampo-Rosenlewin dokumentoinnin tason parantaminen ja kilpailukyvyn tehostaminen.

Standardized electrical tests for electrical equipment in road vehicles Case: Visedo Oy PowerMASTER M-frame

Electrical road vehicles were common at the begin of the 20th century but internal combustion engines took a victory from electrical motors in road vehicles. The acknowledgement of the environment, and the price and the availability of the crude oil are reasons for the comeback of the electrical vehicles. Advancement in industrial technology and political atmosphere in EU as the directive 20--20--20, which consists of reducing fossil emission, increasing renewable energy and increasing the energy efficiency, have made the electrification popular again. In this thesis tests based on standard ISO 16750--2 electrical loads for electrical equipment in road vehicles are made for Visedo Oy's PowerMASTER M-frame power electronics device. This device is designed for mainly drive trains in mobile work machines and marine vessels but can be used in other application in its power range which also includes road vehicles. The functionality of the device is tested with preliminary tests which act as a framework for the tests based on standards.

Interoperability for IoT Health Systems Using HL7 Standard

Internet of Things or IoT is revolutionizing the world we are living in, similarly the way Internet and the web did few decades ago. It is changing how we interact with the things surrounding us. Electronic health and remote patient monitoring are the ways of utilizing these technological improvements towards the healthcare. There are many applications of IoT in eHealth such as, it will open the gate to provide healthcare to the remote areas of the world, where healthcare through traditional hospital systems cannot be provided. To connect these new eHealth IoT systems with the existing healthcare information systems, we can use the existing interoperability standards commonly used in healthcare information systems. In this thesis we implemented an eHealth IoT system based on Health Level 7 interoperability standard for continuous data transmission. There is not much previous work done in implementing the HL7 for continuous sensor data transmission. Some of the previous work was limited to sensors which are not continuous in nature and some of it is only theatrical architecture. This thesis aims to prove that it is possible to implement an eHealth IoT system by using sensors which require continues data transmission, such as respiratory sensors, and to connect it with the existing eHealth information system semantically by using HL7 interoperability standard. This system will be beneficial in implementing eHealth IoT systems for those patients, who requires continuous healthcare personal monitoring. This includes elderly people and patients, whose health need to be monitored constantly. To implement the architecture, HL7 v2.5 is selected due to its ease of implementation and low size. We selected some open source technologies because of their open licenses and large developer community. We will also review the most efficient technology available in every layer of eHealth IoT system and will propose an efficient system.

Armourstone revetments : will standard design criteria prevent failure? /

Bank stabilization structures are used to prevent the loss of valuable land within the urban environment and the decision for the type of structure used depends on the properties of the stream. In the urban areas of Southern Ontario there is a preference for the use of armourstone blocks as bank stabilization. The armourstone revetment is a free standing stone structure with large blocks of stone layered vertically and offset from one another. During fieldwork at Forty Mile Creek in Grimsby, Ontario armourstone failure was identified by the removal of two stones within one column from the wall. Since the footer stones were still in place, toe scour was eliminated as a cause of failure. Through theoretical, field, and experimental work the process of suction has been identified as a mode of failure for the armourstone wall and the process of suction works similarly to quarrying large blocks of rock off bedrock streambeds. The theory of lateral suction has previously not been taken into consideration for the design of these walls. The physical and hydraulic evidence found in the field and studied during experimental work indicate that the armourstone wall is vulnerable to the process of suction. The forces exerted by the flow and the resistance of the block determine the stability of the armourstone block within the wall. The design of the armourstone wall, high surface velocities, and short pulses of faster flowing water within the profile could contribute to armourstone failure by providing the forces needed for suction to occur, therefore adjustments to the design of the wall should be made in order to limit the effect.

St. Catharines Standard fonds, 1970, 1974, 1988-1991, n.d.

The St. Catharines Standard started publication in 1891 under W.B. Burgoyne. It was subsequently purchased by Southam Newspapers, then Canwest Global Communications. Osprey Media took over the publication until June 1, 2007 when Quebecor acquired the company. The St. Catharines Standard celebrated its centennial in 1991 with mobile displays, a centennial logo and slogan, a Christmas card, an advertising campaign, a video and a centennial theme to regular promotions. As part of the activities, the Standard commissioned Brock University to produce a history of St. Catharines. This book entitled St. Catharines Canada’s Canal City is a popular book rather than an academic text. The authors have woven together stories of the past and present to showcase the character and personality of St. Catharines. The book is full of maps and photographs, many of which had not been seen in print before this time.
