FROM SHADOW to LIGHT Objectives Potential Years of Life Lost “PYLL” A MAP FOR HEALTH OF THE POPULATION Mikko Vienonen [email protected] “PYLL” FROM SHADOW TO LIGHT Objectives 1. To assess the problems of early deaths. 2. To direct preventive measures. 3. To evaluate the performance of prevention and treatment. Starting point: simple calculation Standard-life to which all preventable deaths are reflected 70 y A = Ivan died of coronary heart attack at age of 55 years Ivan’s PYLL = 70 -55 = 15 years B = Anna died of alcohol poisoning at age of 28 years Anna’s PYLL = 70 – 28 = 42 years C = Pelagiya died of stroke at age of 71 years Pelagiya’s PYLL = 70 – 71 = 0 years Methods • The method compares a person’s age at the time of death to his/her expected length of life (=70 yrs). • Calculation of the index is based on the ICD-10 main cause of death (28 preventable causes). • The index is age-standardized, and it is calculated as a sum per 100 000 human years. 28 diagnostic groups used calculating the Potential Years of Life Lost (PYLL) rate Käytetyt diagnoosiryhmät (28) laskettaessa ennenaikaisesti menetetyt elinvuodet Nr.

    Reviews from Sacred Places Around the World “… the ruins, mountains, sanctuaries, lost cities, and pilgrimage routes held sacred around the world.” (Book Passage 1/2000) “For each site, Brad Olsen provides historical background, a description of the site and its special features, and directions for getting there.” (Theology Digest Summer, 2000) “(Readers) will thrill to the wonderful history and the vibrations of the world’s sacred healing places.” (East & West 2/2000) “Sites that emanate the energy of sacred spots.” (The Sunday Times 1/2000) “Sacred sites (to) the ruins, sanctuaries, mountains, lost cities, temples, and pilgrimage routes of ancient civilizations.” (San Francisco Chronicle 1/2000) “Many sacred places are now bustling tourist and pilgrimage desti- nations. But no crowd or souvenir shop can stand in the way of a traveler with great intentions and zero expectations.” (Spirituality & Health Summer, 2000) “Unleash your imagination by going on a mystical journey. Brad Olsen gives his take on some of the most amazing and unexplained spots on the globe — including the underwater ruins of Bimini, which seems to point the way to the Lost City of Atlantis. You can choose to take an armchair pilgrimage (the book is a fascinating read) or follow his tips on how to travel to these powerful sites yourself.” (Mode 7/2000) “Should you be inspired to make a pilgrimage of your own, you might want to pick up a copy of Brad Olsen’s guide to the world’s sacred places. Olsen’s marvelous drawings and mysterious maps enhance a package that is as bizarre as it is wonderfully acces- sible.

KARBAINOV, Research Fellow E-mail: [email protected] Sociological Institute of the RAS — a branch of the Federal Research Sociological Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Saint Petersburg, Russia Abstract. The article is devoted to the socio-economic adaptation of single-industry towns’ population on the example of single-industry settlements in the North-West of Russia. The work’s theoretical and meth- odological framework is the approaches of scientists who study the grassroots practices of survival of small towns and villages (seasonal work, commuting, a distributed way of life, the informal economy). The empir- ical base of the study are statistical data collected from the databases of EMISS, SPARK Interfax, the Foun- dation for the Development of Single-Industry Towns, websites of administrations of single-industry set- tlements in the Northwestern Federal District, as well as data from field studies collected by the method of semi-formalized interviews with representatives of administrations and deputies of city and regional coun- cils, with ordinary residents of single-industry towns in Republic of Karelia, Leningrad and Vologda oblasts.

TEM/32/04.01.01/2011 2013-02-KA535 Intermediate report - DRAFT 11.06.2013 3 (37) EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This project studies the situation regarding shortage of electricity supply in remote settlements in Republic of Karelia. It draws out the best practice from a long-term experience of project implementations in Finland and Russia. The project was carried out by Finnish consulting companies Insinööritoimisto Jormakka Oy, Vesirakentaja Oy and PM Technology Oy in association with Russian partners Nord Hydro JSC and ANO Energy Efficiency Centre. The grant is financed from the European Neighbourhood and Partnership Instrument in the framework of the Karelia ENPI CBC programme 2007-2013 within its Priority Quality of life under the Call for Proposals 02.04.2012 – 27.08.2012. The programme is implemented in accordance with the Agreement between the Government of the Russian Federation and the European Community about financing and implementation of the Karelia cross-border cooperation programme. The study examined present conditions in a few pre-determined settlements in Republic of Karelia where electricity supply shortage exists. Thereafter, the situation has been evaluated in terms of possibility to develop any local sources of energy.

The paper presents a theoretical analysis of seasonal brightness temperature variations at a number of large freshwater lakes - Baikal, Ladoga, Great Bear Lake (GBL), Great Slave Lake (GSL), and Huron - retrieved from Microwave Imaging Radiometer with Aperture Synthesis (MIRAS) data (1.4 GHz) of the Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity (SMOS) satellite. The analysis was performed using 15 the model of microwave radiation of plane layered heterogeneous nonisothermal medium. The input parameters for the model were real regional climatological characteristics and glaciological parameters of ice cover of the study lakes. Three distinct seasonal brightness temperature time regions corresponding to different phenological phases of the lake surfaces: complete ice cover, ice melt and deterioration, and open water, were revealed. The paper demonstrates the possibility to determine the 20 beginning of ice cover deterioration from satellite microwave radiometry data. The obtained results can be useful for setting the operating terms of winter crossings and roads on ice, since with the beginning of ice deterioration, these transportation routes across water bodies (rivers, lakes, water reservoirs) become insecure and cannot be used any more.
