The study tour was a real experience of its own. Especially Russia was so different from what we know here in Western Europe. I am still amazed about finding chemicals stored in plastic bottles next to new technology equipment. After Russia Finland was a real contrast. A bit more like at home but still different .We learned for example that the passion of Finnish people for sauna was not just a legend. It was picked up enthusiastically by the study tour participants who really enjoyed this part of the Finnish culture. I would like to thank all the people that gave us such a warm welcome in Finland and Russia. Thanks for answering all of our many, many questions so patiently. I think that I can say that we all learned a lot on this trip and from the people that we met. This amazing trip would not have been possible without the people who supported us. I would like to thank our sponsors and the departments who gave us case studies for the financial support that made this study tour possible. I would also like to thank our two supervisors Lutgarde Buydens en Wilbert Boelens for going on this trip with us. Last but not least, I would like to thank all the participants and my fellow committee members for a great study tour. Barbara Ridder Chairwoman 4 Scientific staff Scientific staff Already at the departure on Monday 4 April early in the morning the code of conduct, that would remain preserved during the entire trip, was set: an organization team that arranged and was in control of every little detail and that demanded the same discipline of all participants. This approach was the key to a very successful, fascinating and enjoyable study trip. Saint Petersburg was a cultural surprise. Its history, totally different from ours, has resulted in a quite interesting city. Her Oriental culture origin, the hallucinatory richness of the Czars dynasty, the subsequent Soviet era and later Western influences have all left their marks and created of Saint Petersburg a city where we fell from one surprise into another. Highlights were definitely the visit to the immense Hermitage museum where some of us got an instructive tour behind the scenes, in the laboratories where works of art are restored and analyzed. Also the museum of Mendeleev, in the Technical University, the place where he lived and worked for many years was a unique experience. A visit to the Aurora, the submarine, from where the 1917 revolution was launched with a cannon shot, was for many a not to miss event on the agenda. The city also protrudes of an incredible number of impressive Orthodox churches, each in itself worth a visit. The Church of the Savior on the Blood, by the students very aptly called the “sweets Church” defies all imagination. The Interior consisting of hundreds of square meters of beautiful mosaic work beats the lot of unexpected greatness. Also a walk on the frozen sea was a unique experience. The visits to the universities, however, left us with mixed feelings. On the one hand, we were impressed by the performances of the past, with big names like Sakharov and Mendeleev. The Chemistry show, brought to us by a scientific son of Sakharov confronted us, however, with the present-day reality of those universities. A distressing lack of money and of people makes it very difficult to do advanced research. Yet the visit to the biophysical Department was a pleasant surprise where biological oriented research started to flourish. A Russian variant of the TGV brought us to Finland. The difference with the advanced high- tech biological research at the University of Helsinki could hardly be greater. A visit to the "Finnish institute for verification of chemical weapons convention", Verifin, reminded us of the fragility of today’s peace. ECHA (European chemicals Agency), on the other hand, showed us that, thanks to new ambitious European regulations for registration of chemicals (REACH), we are able to make of the world a place where it is a bit better livable. The trip to the maritime fortress, Suomenlinna, also known as the "Gibraltar of the North ' was a worthy end of our trip. Suomenlinna is the icon of the turbulent power swings in this part of the world and is therefore a UNESCO World Heritage site. It is obvious that the study tour 2011 was an unforgettable, breathtaking, interesting trip. The pleasant and friendly atmosphere in a group, where everyone conscientiously takes up his or her responsibility together with the outstanding travel organization has certainly been an important part of the success. Wilbert Boelens en Lutgarde Buydens 5 Scientific staff Prof. dr. Lutgarde Buydens Background: Lutgarde Maria Celina Buydens has studied pharmacy and informatics at the Brussels Free University (Belgium). She obtained her PhD in 1986 at the same University on the subject "Structure activity relationships: contributions of gas chromatography and study of neuroleptics". In 1992 she was presented the 'Elsevier Chemometrics Award' for noteworthy accomplishments in the field of chemometrics by younger scientists. Currently, she is the head of the Analytical Chemistry department of the Radboud University. Dr. Wilbert Boelens Background: Wilbert Boelens has studied chemistry in Nijmegen. He graduated in 1988, after which he did a PhD at the Department of Biochemistry of Professor Van Venrooij with the subject: Interactions between U-snRNP proteins and their associated RNAs. In 1992 he went to the EMBL in Heidelberg and has worked in the lab of Ian Mattaj. Since 1994 he has worked at the Department of Biomolecular Chemistry, where he studies the function of the small stress proteins and the cross-linking enzyme transglutaminase. 6 Case studies Case studies A large part of the income of the study tour was the concept of case studies. These studies were carried out by participants and can best be defined as doing some work for a research department, independent institution or company. This work would consist of about 50 hours of work, equal to the amount of time participants need to spend in order to receive European Credits (EC, ‘study points’) for the study tour. Next to that, the study tour committee receives a fee from said departments for the work that was done by the participants. This makes the case study a valuable asset for both the committee and the participants. Here, the abstracts of the case studies that were carried out by some of the participants are listed. This will give you an impression of the great diversity between these case studies and the work that went into them. Alinda Alfring and Rianne Hommersom SynAffix The aim of our case study was to design a booklet for the spin-off company SynAffix. This is a spin-off of the Radboud University in Nijmegen that was started in early 2010. SynAffix’ expertise lies in the synthesis of molecules that affix. The company’s main focus is the development and application of molecules for catalyst- and reagent-free cycloaddition. SynAffix’ molecules undergo highly efficient ligation, applicable in life science, medical imaging, material sciences and other areas of interest that require a clean and efficient conjugation reaction. (http://www.synaffix.com) The overall assignment included: - Obtaining pictures for use in the booklet as well as on the website, by shooting photos of the staff and equipment in the laboratory, and subsequent imaging with Adobe Photoshop Lightroom®. - The graphic design of the brochure itself, using programs like Adobe InDesign and Adobe Photoshop. - Designing the company’s own writing paper. Since we both had no prior experience working with either one of these programs, there was a lot for us to learn. Luckily, a ‘pro’

  • Nokia | Smartphone
    Nokia Rise and Fall EMSE 6005.10 – Organizational Behavior For The Engineering Managers Professor Andy Sakka Abhishek Thakur Akshat Amrut Oswal Nokia history: Nokia was founded by Fredrik Idestam, a mining engineer in 1865. The name Nokia was decided in 1871 when he opened his second paper mill on the bank of Nokianvirta river. Nokia started out with making paper which incidentally was one of the very first technologies used for communications. Fredrik Idestam was the chairman of the company till 1896 when he retired, and Leo Mechelin took over as the chairman. Under Mechelin, Nokia started a new business unit of electricity generation. In 1898, Eduard Polon founded the Finnish Rubber Works, which later became Nokia’s rubber business. They were making everything from galoshes to tires. In 1912, Finnish Cable Works was established by Arvid Wickstrom, which later became Nokia’s cable and electronic business. In 1967, all three of these jointly owned companies came together to form the Nokia corporation. Nokia’s first thrust in telecommunications came when they began developing radio telephones for the army and emergency services. During this period, the company was involved in many businesses including paper products, tire manufacturing, footwears, communication cables, televisions , electricity generation machinery, robotics , chemicals, plastics and many more. By 1987,, Nokia became one of the leading manufacturers of TV in Europe. By 1990, Nokia decided to concentrate its efforts on the fastest growing business of telecommunications & leave all other companies behind. They sold out all other business divisions. An Era of Communication Nokia was not a new player in telecommunication field when they started concentrating on it in 1990’s.

The Role of Professors in the Formation of Finnish Parliamentary Life: The Struggle between Two Conceptions of Parliament Abstract The Frankfurt Parliament (1848–49) was subsequently dismissively referred to as the “Professors’ Parliament” due to its heavy representation of scholars and the academic style of its lengthy discussions. Professors have played a prominent role in the deliberations and development of other European assemblies, too. This article examines the role of professors in the formation of Finnish parliamentary life. It moreover underlines the close relationship between the academia and national politics in late nineteenth-century Finland, starting from the European revolutions of 1848.

Furthermore, it positions the procedural discussions of the peripheral Finnish Diet within a wider European debate on parliaments and parliamentarism. While parliamentary government and the dissolution of Europe’slastfour- estate representation were largely out of the question in the Finnish Grand Duchy of the Russian Empire, revisions and innovations on Diet rules and practices formed an essential means to introduce elements of modern parliaments within the obsolete estate system. By analysing Finnish Diet and press discussions, the article re-examines the significance and reception of the Swedish Riksdag institution of plenum plenorum, the joint discussion of all four estates, in Finland.

    Preface Dear readers, we have started edristi English edition as well since August, 2015. We are hopeful that it will help us to connect to the broader audience and amplify our personal bonding with each other. While presenting Day-to-day current affairs, we are very cautious on choosing the right topics to make sure only those get the place which are useful for competitive exams perspective, not to increase unnecessary burden on the readers by putting useless materials.Secondly, we have also provided the reference links to ensure its credibility which is our foremost priority.You can always refer the links to validate its authenticity We will try to present the current affairs topics as quickly as possible but its authenticity is given higher priority over its turnaround time. Therefore it could happen that we publish the incident one or two days later in the website. Our plan will be to publish our monthly PDF on very first day of every month with making appropriate modifications of day-to-day events. In general, the events happened till 28th day will be given place in the PDFs. The necessity of this is to ensure the contents factual authenticity. Reader’s satisfaction is our utmost priority so requesting you to provide your valuable feedback to us. We will warmly welcome your appreciation/criticism given to us.It will surely show us the right direction to improve the content quality. Hopefully the current affairs PDF (from 1st March to 31st March) will benefit our beloved readers. Current affairs data will be useless if it couldn’t originate any competitive exam questions.
