Tämä seikka on usein unohdettu suomalaisissa ruumishautauksissa, joista löytyy eläinluita. Vain vainajan yhteydestä löytyneille eläintenluille on pohdittu rituaalisia merkityksiä. Haudan täytemaasta, joka on osa hautausta, löytyneet eläintenluut on aikaisemmassa tutkimuksessa jätetty usein huomioimatta. Tässä opinnäytteessä pohditaan eläinluiden funktiota ja tulkintamalleja hautauksissa. Lähtökohtana on kuusi eriaikaista kohdetta.

    FINNISH LOCAL V IEW ON THE FACTORS ACCOUNTING FOR THE COSTS OF W EATHER-RELATED DISASTERS (SPECIFICALLY, FLOODS AND STORMS) IN RECENT DECADES AND IMPLICATIONS OF UNDERSTANDING THESE FOR BOTH RESEARCH AND POLICY Jaakko Helminen Finnish Meteorological Institute P.O. Box 503 FI-00101 Helsinki, Finland email: [email protected] 1. Introduction s the factors accounting for the costs of weather-related disasters (specifically, floods and storms) in recent decades and the implications of understanding these for both research and policy are considered in the Finnish context. The climatology of the pertinent weather phenomena are discussed also with some A outlook to the scenarios. Here some possible future shifts in both flood and storm types causing damages and losses are pointed out. In addition some policy issues are discussed as this seems to be another pertinent point. 2. Factors in weather-related disasters 2.1 Floods Since 1960 (Puupponen, 2006) in terms of house damage costs the three most severe flood episodes in Finland have occurred as follows. Spring 1966 – Southern Finland: This spring flood has been since 1969 the highest flood in the rivers of Southern Finland. The water equivalent of the snow at the beginning of April was still widely 200 – 250 mm which was roughly double compared with the normal value and in fact a record value. The melting of the snow was postponed to a late time point around 1 May. Consequently the recurrence value of the observed flood flows exceeded in several drainage basins 100 years in terms of a Gumbel distribution estimate. No exact damage data are available, but in relation to later damage inventories the probable cost level has been of the order of 10 million euros.

  • 1 Partial Translation from the Book: Air Force Participation in the Finnish
    Partial translation from the book: Air Force Participation in the Finnish War of Independence in Year 1918 by Aarne Bremer, 1934 Translated by Seppo Koivisto, 2.2.1999; updated 18.5.1999, 15.5.2004 Chapter II. German Air Activity in Finland 1918 (pages 170-202) Initial Phase of Getting Aid (page 170) The greatest aid, that Finland received already in the preparatory stages and then during the war, came from Germany. Already in autumn 1917 arms shipments came from there to arm the home defence. During the Independence War large amounts of arms and ammunition were further bought from Germany. In February 1918 Germany agreed to send the Königlicher Preussischer Jägerbataillon Nr. 27 (of Finnish volunteers) to Finland. When the red danger was continuously worsening in Southern Finland, made Councillor of State Hjelt, a Finn that had greatest influence in Germany, his best to get aid to Finland. (Edvard Hjelt, 1855-1921, was an active and sometimes arbitrary representative of the Finnish Senate in Germany. He for instance issued a Finnish passport in false name to General Ludendorf after his resignation.) On February 11th the peace negotiations between Germany and Russia at Brest-Litovski were interrupted. By threatening St. Petersburg from Finland, Germany would force Russia swiftly for final conclusion of peace. For this Germany would not need large forces, just so much that the white Finland would win. German high command asked councillor of state Hjelt to send an urgent request for armed assistance. Councillor of State Hjelt saw, that he could fulfil this request, as he had received a telegram from Councillor of State A.

  • The Study on Impact of the Foreseen the Loviisa–Kunda Ferry Service Is Published
    30.9.2020 THE STUDY ON IMPACT OF THE FORESEEN THE LOVIISA–KUNDA FERRY SERVICE IS PUBLISHED The new REFEC report explores impacts of the activation of eastern Finland–Estonia transport corridor which would take place if a ferry service is launched between Loviisa and Kunda. The impacts consist of comparisons of the Loviisa-Kunda route with the current existing port connections between Finland and Estonia. The comparisons encompass differences in the mileage, travel time, costs, CO2 emissions and impacts to regional development. The study results are based on measurements, statistical analysis, planning documents and interviews of stakeholders of different interest groups linked to regional development. The comparison of mileages in the transport corridor area towns between Finland and Estonia expectedly shows that Loviisa-Kunda ferry would provide shorter mileage and travel time compared to the routes via the existing ferry services. As for the costs, the new ferry line would provide about ¼ lower costs for the estimated freight potential between eastern Finland and northeastern Estonia. For those eastern Finland cargoes that transit Estonia the Loviisa-Kunda ferry would provide also a competitive alternative when compared to other services although the costs proved to be somewhat higher. With regard to environmental impact, the Loviisa-Kunda route CO2 emissions are in line with the mileage observations. Another environmentally positive issue would be that the new ferry line would relieve partly the congestion in capital regions caused by heavy traffic. A new ferry line would stimulate regional development close to the ports in both countries. It is estimated to generate new jobs (Finland 25-37 jobs and Estonia 25-50 jobs), tax income to municipalities (FI 170-250 k€; EE 40-80 k€) and two million euros annual turnover to both ports.
