The environmental aspect of corporate social responsibility (CSR) expressed through the process of the EMS implementation in the oil and gas companies is identified as the main subject of this research. In the theoretical part, the basic attention is paid to justification of a link between CSR and environmental management. The achievement of sustainable competitive advantage as a result of environmental capital growth and inclusion of the socially responsible activities in the corporate strategy is another issue that is of special significance here. Besides, two basic forms of environmental management systems (environmental decision support systems and environmental information management systems) are explored and their role in effective stakeholder interaction is tackled. The most crucial benefits of EMS are also analyzed to underline its importance as a source of sustainable development. Further research is based on the survey of 51 sampled oil and gas companies (both publicly owned and state owned ones) originated from different countries all over the world and providing reports on sustainability issues in the open access. To analyze their approach to sustainable development, a specifically designed evaluation matrix with 37 indicators developed in accordance with the General Reporting Initiative (GRI) guidelines for non-financial reporting was prepared. Additionally, the quality of environmental information disclosure was measured on the basis of a quality – quantity matrix. According to results of research, oil and gas companies prefer implementing reactive measures to the costly and knowledge-intensive proactive techniques for elimination of the negative environmental impacts. Besides, it was identified that the environmental performance disclosure is mostly rather limited, so that the quality of non-financial reporting can be judged as quite insufficient. In spite of the fact that most of the oil and gas companies in the sample claim the EMS to be embedded currently in their structure, they often do not provide any details for the process of their implementation. As a potential for the further development of EMS, author mentions possible integration of their different forms in a single entity, extension of existing structure on the basis of consolidation of the structural and strategic precautions as well as development of a unified certification standard instead of several ones that exist today in order to enhance control on the EMS implementation.

The aim of this master’s thesis is to study how Agile method (Scrum) and open source software are utilized to produce software for a flagship product in a complex production environment. The empirical case and the used artefacts are taken from the Nokia MeeGo N9 product program, and from the related software program, called as the Harmattan. The single research case is analysed by using a qualitative method. The Grounded Theory principles are utilized, first, to find out all the related concepts from artefacts. Second, these concepts are analysed, and finally categorized to a core category and six supported categories. The result is formulated as the operation of software practices conceivable in circumstances, where the accountable software development teams and related context accepts a open source software nature as a part of business vision and the whole organization supports the Agile methods.

Open source and open source software development have been interesting phenomena during the past decade. Traditional business models do not apply with open source, where the actual product is free. However, it is possible to make business with open source, even successfully, but the question is: how? The aim of this study is to find the key factors of successfully making business out of commercial open source software development. The task is achieved by finding the factors that influence open source projects, finding the relation between those factors, and find out why some factors explain the success more than others. The literature review concentrates first on background of open innovation, open source and open source software. Then business models, critical success factors and success measures are examined. Based on existing literature a framework was created. The framework contains categorized success factors that influence software projects in general as well as open source software projects. The main categories of success factors in software business are divided into community management, technology management, project management and market management. In order to find out which of the factors based on the existing literature are the most critical, empirical research was done by conducting unstructured personal interviews. The main finding based on the interviews is that the critical success factors in open source software business do not differ from those in traditional software business or in fact from those in any other business. Some factors in the framework came out in the interviews that can be considered as key factors: establishing and communicating hierarchy (community management), localization (technology management), good license know-how and IPR management (project management), and effective market management (market management). The critical success factors according to the interviewees are not listed in the framework: low price, good product and good business model development.

In this work, we present the solution of a class of linear inverse heat conduction problems for the estimation of unknown heat source terms, with no prior information of the functional forms of timewise and spatial dependence of the source strength, using the conjugate gradient method with an adjoint problem. After describing the mathematical formulation of a general direct problem and the procedure for the solution of the inverse problem, we show applications to three transient heat transfer problems: a one-dimensional cylindrical problem; a two-dimensional cylindrical problem; and a one-dimensional problem with two plates.

Hydrogen stratification and atmosphere mixing is a very important phenomenon in nuclear reactor containments when severe accidents are studied and simulated. Hydrogen generation, distribution and accumulation in certain parts of containment may pose a great risk to pressure increase induced by hydrogen combustion, and thus, challenge the integrity of NPP containment. The accurate prediction of hydrogen distribution is important with respect to the safety design of a NPP. Modelling methods typically used for containment analyses include both lumped parameter and field codes. The lumped parameter method is universally used in the containment codes, because its versatility, flexibility and simplicity. The lumped parameter method allows fast, full-scale simulations, where different containment geometries with relevant engineering safety features can be modelled. Lumped parameter gas stratification and mixing modelling methods are presented and discussed in this master’s thesis. Experimental research is widely used in containment analyses. The HM-2 experiment related to hydrogen stratification and mixing conducted at the THAI facility in Germany is calculated with the APROS lump parameter containment package and the APROS 6-equation thermal hydraulic model. The main purpose was to study, whether the convection term included in the momentum conservation equation of the 6-equation modelling gives some remarkable advantages compared to the simplified lumped parameter approach. Finally, a simple containment test case (high steam release to a narrow steam generator room inside a large dry containment) was calculated with both APROS models. In this case, the aim was to determine the extreme containment conditions, where the effect of convection term was supposed to be possibly high. Calculation results showed that both the APROS containment and the 6-equation model could model the hydrogen stratification in the THAI test well, if the vertical nodalisation was dense enough. However, in more complicated cases, the numerical diffusion may distort the results. Calculation of light gas stratification could be probably improved by applying the second order discretisation scheme for the modelling of gas flows. If the gas flows are relatively high, the convection term of the momentum equation is necessary to model the pressure differences between the adjacent nodes reasonably.

Tässä työssä on tutkittu OL1/OL2-ydinvoimalaitosten käytetyn polttoaineen siirrossa aiheutuvaa altistusta neutronisäteilylle. Käytetty polttoaine siirretään vedellä täytetyssä käytetyn polttoaineen siirtosäiliössä Castor TVO:ssa OL1/OL2-laitoksilta käytetyn polttoaineen varastolle. Siirtotyön aikana useat eri ammattiryhmiin kuuluvat henkilöt työskentelevät siirtosäiliön välittömässä läheisyydessä, altistuen käytetystä polttoaineesta emittoituvalle fotoni- ja neutronisäteilylle. Aikaisemmista neutronisäteilyannosten mittauksista on todettu, ettei jatkuvalle altistuksen seurannalle ole ollut tarvetta. Tämän työn tarkoitus on selvittää teoreettisilla laskelmilla siirtotyöhön osallistuvan henkilön mahdollisuus saada kirjausrajan ylittävä annos neutronisäteilyä. Neutronisäteilyn annosnopeudet siirtosäiliötä ympäröivässä tilassa on laskettu yhdysvaltalaisella Monte Carlo-menetelmään perustuvalla MCNP-ohjelmalla. MCNP:llä mallinnettiin siirtosäiliö, siirtosäiliön sisältämä polttoaine ja ympäröivä tila kolmella jäähtymisajalla ja kolmella keskimääräisellä maksimipoistopalamalla. Polttoainenippujen isotooppikonsentraatiot ja säteilylähteiden voimakkuudet on laskettu Studsvik SNF-ohjelmalla. Simuloinnin perusteella voidaan todeta, ettei neutronisäteilyannosten jatkuvalle seurannalle ole tarvetta käytetyn polttoaineen siirrossa. Vaikka neutronisäteilyn annosnopeudet voivat nousta siirtosäiliön läheisyydessä suhteellisen suuriksi, ovat siirtosäiliön lähellä tehtävät työt niin lyhytaikaisia, että kirjausrajan ylitystä voidaan pitää hyvin epätodennäköisenä. Johtopäätökset varmistetaan työssä suunnitellulla mittausjärjestelyllä.

Luettaessa uutisia lehdestä harvoin pohditaan sitä, onko toimituksellisessa työssä noudatettu lakia ja alan eettisiä ohjeita. Lukija luottaa siihen, että sääntöjä noudatetaan, mutta näin ei aina ole. Käytettäessä materiaalia toiselta lehdeltä jätetään alkuperäinen lähde usein mainitsematta. Tämän tutkielman tarkoituksena on selvittää keskeiset tekijänoikeuslain pykälät ja käytännössä kaikkein keskeisimmät Journalistin ohjeet sanomalehden toimittajan työssä ja miten nämä säännöt pääosin ilmenevät. Suoritetun kyselytutkimuksen perusteella tekijänoikeuslain pykälä oikeus uutisoida toisen lehden uutinen ja Journalistin ohjeista sääntö, jonka mukaan sisältöratkaisut on tehtävä journalistisin perustein, ovat keskeisimpiä sääntöjä käytännön työssä. Tutkimuksessa näitä sääntöjä käsitellään oikeusdogmaattisin menetelmin kieliopillisen tulkinnan kautta sekä toimittajan työn näkökulmasta. Tutkimuksen lainsäädännöllisen viitekehyksen muodostavat Suomen perustuslaki, laki sananvapauden käyttämisestä joukkoviestinnässä, kansallinen tekijänoikeuslaki ja Journalistin ohjeet. Tämän vuoksi tutkimuksessa on aiheellista tarkastella myös sananvapautta ja tekijänoikeuslakia toimituksellisessa työssä sekä näiden suhdetta toisiinsa ja myös median rakenteellista ja toiminnallista muutosta.

Can crowdsourcing solutions serve many masters? Can they be beneficial for both, for the layman or native speakers of minority languages on the one hand and serious linguistic research on the other? How did an infrastructure that was designed to support linguistics turn out to be a solution for raising awareness of native languages? Since 2012 the National Library of Finland has been developing the Digitisation Project for Kindred Languages, in which the key objective is to support a culture of openness and interaction in linguistic research, but also to promote crowdsourcing as a tool for participation of the language community in research. In the course of the project, over 1,200 monographs and nearly 111,000 pages of newspapers in Finno-Ugric languages will be digitised and made available in the Fenno-Ugrica digital collection. This material was published in the Soviet Union in the 1920s and 1930s, and users have had only sporadic access to the material. The publication of open-access and searchable materials from this period is a goldmine for researchers. Historians, social scientists and laymen with an interest in specific local publications can now find text materials pertinent to their studies. The linguistically-oriented population can also find writings to delight them: (1) lexical items specific to a given publication, and (2) orthographically-documented specifics of phonetics. In addition to the open access collection, we developed an open source code OCR editor that enables the editing of machine-encoded text for the benefit of linguistic research. This tool was necessary since these rare and peripheral prints often include already archaic characters, which are neglected by modern OCR software developers but belong to the historical context of kindred languages, and are thus an essential part of the linguistic heritage. When modelling the OCR editor, it was essential to consider both the needs of researchers and the capabilities of lay citizens, and to have them participate in the planning and execution of the project from the very beginning. By implementing the feedback iteratively from both groups, it was possible to transform the requested changes as tools for research that not only supported the work of linguistics but also encouraged the citizen scientists to face the challenge and work with the crowdsourcing tools for the benefit of research. This presentation will not only deal with the technical aspects, developments and achievements of the infrastructure but will highlight the way in which user groups, researchers and lay citizens were engaged in a process as an active and communicative group of users and how their contributions were made to mutual benefit.
