Tämä opinnäytetyö on tehty SkinnAir Oy:lle, ja se käsittelee pientalojen LVI-teknistä suunnittelua pienen suunnitteluyrityksen näkökulmasta. Nykyinen kiivas rakentamistyyli, kasvaneet asumisviihtyvyydenvaatimukset, asennusammattilaisten puute sekä jatkuvasti kohoavat vaatimukset rakennusten energiatehokkuuden parantamiseksi vaativat yhä parempia ja laadukkaampia suunnitelmia pientalojen LVI-teknisten ratkaisujen toteuttamiseksi. Suunnittelusta saatavan heikon tuottavuuden johdosta monet suunnittelutoimistot eivät ole kiinnostuneita pientalojen LVI-suunnittelusta. Tässä työssä pyritään etsimään niitä menetelmiä, joilla erityisesti pieni suunnitteluyritys kykenee parantamaankannattavuuttaan ja nostamaan palvelun laatua kyseisellä suunnittelun osa-alueella. Työ on toteutettu perehtymällä yksityiskohtaisesti suunnitteluprosessin eri vaiheisiin sekä analysoimalla näistä vaiheista saadut tulokset Työssä tunnistetaan erilaiset asiakastyypit sekä heidän tarpeensa. Asiakastarpeiden perusteellasaadaan määritettyä oikeat lähtötiedot kohteen LVI-suunnittelua varten. Työn keskeinen osa on suunnitteluprosessin etenemisen sekä suunnittelutyöhön kuuluvien tehtävien tarkastelu. Tämän tarkastelun avulla pyritään löytämään keinot, joillakyetään tehostamaan suunnitteluprosessin eri vaiheisiin liittyviä toimintoja, parantamaan palvelun laatua sekä lisäksi minimoimaan suunnitteluprosessin aikaisia kustannuksia yrityksen kannattavuuden parantamiseksi. LVI-suunnittelutyön eteneminen painottuu asiakas- ja lähtötietojen keräämiseen sekä eri välivaiheiden hyväksyttämiseen tilaajalla. Suunnittelutyöhön vaikuttavat tekijät saadaan selville jatkuvassa, ennalta hyvin aikataulutetussa asiakaskontaktissa. Asiakkaan huomioiminen suunnitteluprosessin eri vaiheissa parantaa kokonaisvaltaista asiakaspalvelua. Näin asiakkaan saama vastine rahoilleen kasvaa. Suunnittelijan kannalta turhat muutostyöt vähenevät, koska asiakas on selvillä suunnittelutyön etenemisestä. Johtopäätöksenä voidaan todeta, että hyvän suunnitteluprosessin edellytyksenä on yksityiskohtaisten lähdetietojen käyttö. Työn tuloksena ilmeni, että valmiiden, ennalta hyvin laadittujen lomakkeiden käyttäminen parantaa selkeästi suunnittelutyön tehokkuutta. Lopputuloksena syntyi jatkokehittelyä vaativa lomakepohja asiakastarpeisiin perustuvalle lähtötietolomakkeelle. Lisäksi yrityksen käyttöön on tarkoitus laatia tarvittavat tietokannat sekä valmiit asennuspiirrokset. Lopullinen tavoite on rakentaa tässä työssä kuvatuista menetelmistä kattava tietotekninen järjestelmä parantamaan sekä yrityksen kannattavuutta että suunnittelutyön laatua. Lisäksi voidaan todeta, että rakennettava järjestelmä mahdollistaa myös vaativan suunnittelutyön tuotteistamisen.

The second scientific meeting of the European systems genetics network for the study of complex genetic human disease using genetic reference populations (SYSGENET) took place at the Center for Cooperative Research in Biosciences in Bilbao, Spain, December 10-12, 2012. SYSGENET is funded by the European Cooperation in the Field of Scientific and Technological Research (COST) and represents a network of scientists in Europe that use mouse genetic reference populations (GRPs) to identify complex genetic factors influencing disease phenotypes (Schughart, Mamm Genome 21:331-336, 2010). About 50 researchers working in the field of systems genetics attended the meeting, which consisted of 27 oral presentations, a poster session, and a management committee meeting. Participants exchanged results, set up future collaborations, and shared phenotyping and data analysis methodologies. This meeting was particularly instrumental for conveying the current status of the US, Israeli, and Australian Collaborative Cross (CC) mouse GRP. The CC is an open source project initiated nearly a decade ago by members of the Complex Trait Consortium to aid the mapping of multigenetic traits (Threadgill, Mamm Genome 13:175-178, 2002). In addition, representatives of the International Mouse Phenotyping Consortium were invited to exchange ongoing activities between the knockout and complex genetics communities and to discuss and explore potential fields for future interactions.

The fourth "Melanoma Bridge Meeting" took place in Naples, December 3-6th, 2014. The four topics discussed at this meeting were: Molecular and Immunological Advances, Combination Therapies, News in Immunotherapy, and Tumor Microenvironment and Biomarkers. Until recently systemic therapy for metastatic melanoma patients was ineffective, but recent advances in tumor biology and immunology have led to the development of new targeted and immunotherapeutic agents that prolong progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). New therapies, such as mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway inhibitors as well as other signaling pathway inhibitors, are being tested in patients with metastatic melanoma either as monotherapy or in combination, and all have yielded promising results. These include inhibitors of receptor tyrosine kinases (BRAF, MEK, and VEGFR), the phosphatidylinositol 3 kinase (PI3K) pathway [PI3K, AKT, mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR)], activators of apoptotic pathway, and the cell cycle inhibitors (CDK4/6). Various locoregional interventions including radiotherapy and surgery are still valid approaches in treatment of advanced melanoma that can be integrated with novel therapies. Intrinsic, adaptive and acquired resistance occur with targeted therapy such as BRAF inhibitors, where most responses are short-lived. Given that the reactivation of the MAPK pathway through several distinct mechanisms is responsible for the majority of acquired resistance, it is logical to combine BRAF inhibitors with inhibitors of targets downstream in the MAPK pathway. For example, combination of BRAF/MEK inhibitors (e.g., dabrafenib/trametinib) have been demonstrated to improve survival compared to monotherapy. Application of novel technologies such sequencing have proven useful as a tool for identification of MAPK pathway-alternative resistance mechanism and designing other combinatorial therapies such as those between BRAF and AKT inhibitors. Improved survival rates have also been observed with immune-targeted therapy for patients with metastatic melanoma. Immune-modulating antibodies came to the forefront with anti-CTLA-4, programmed cell death-1 (PD-1) and PD-1 ligand 1 (PD-L1) pathway blocking antibodies that result in durable responses in a subset of melanoma patients. Agents targeting other immune inhibitory (e.g., Tim-3) or immune stimulating (e.g., CD137) receptors and other approaches such as adoptive cell transfer demonstrate clinical benefit in patients with melanoma as well. These agents are being studied in combination with targeted therapies in attempt to produce longer-term responses than those more typically seen with targeted therapy. Other combinations with cytotoxic chemotherapy and inhibitors of angiogenesis are changing the evolving landscape of therapeutic options and are being evaluated to prevent or delay resistance and to further improve survival rates for this patient population. This meeting's specific focus was on advances in combination of targeted therapy and immunotherapy. Both combination targeted therapy approaches and different immunotherapies were discussed. Similarly to the previous meetings, the importance of biomarkers for clinical application as markers for diagnosis, prognosis and prediction of treatment response was an integral part of the meeting. The overall emphasis on biomarkers supports novel concepts toward integrating biomarkers into contemporary clinical management of patients with melanoma across the entire spectrum of disease stage. Translation of the knowledge gained from the biology of tumor microenvironment across different tumors represents a bridge to impact on prognosis and response to therapy in melanoma.

The theoretical research of the study concentrated on finding theoretical frameworks to optimize the amount of needed stock keeping units (SKUs) in manufacturing industry. The goal was to find ways for a company to acquire an optimal collection of stock keeping units needed for manufacturing needed amount of end products. The research follows constructive research approach leaning towards practical problem solving. In the empirical part of this study, a recipe search tool was developed to an existing database used in the target company. The purpose of the tools was to find all the recipes meeting the EUPS performance standard and put the recipes in a ranking order using the data available in the database. The ranking of the recipes was formed from the combination of the performance measures and price of the recipes. In addition, the tool researched what kind of paper SKUs were needed to manufacture the best performing recipes. The tool developed during this process meets the requirements. It eases and makes it much faster to search for all the recipes meeting the EUPS standard. Furthermore, many future development possibilities for the tool were discovered while writing the thesis.
