  • Arkkitehti Carl Ludvig Engel, Keisari Aleksanteri I Ja Sotaväenpäällikön Talon Pääjulkisivu Helsingin Esplanadilla
    Jarkko Sinisalo Arkkitehti Carl Ludvig Engel, keisari Aleksanteri I ja sotaväenpäällikön talon pääjulkisivu Helsingin Esplanadilla Kaksikerroksinen kulmatalo osoitteessa Eteläesplanadi 6 - Fabianinkatu 25, nykyinen Valtioneuvoston juhlahuoneisto ("Smolna''), oli alun perin Suo- men sotaväen ylitarkastajan, sotaväenpäällikön, virkatalo. 1 (Kuva 1.) Se oli yksi niistä varhaisen pääkaupungin julkisista rakennuksista, joiden suun- nittelusta Carl Ludvig Engel huolehti Johan Albrecht Ehrenströmin joh- taman Helsingin uudelleenrakennuskomitean arkkitehtina (1816-1824). Engelin toiminnasta virkatalon suunnittelijana erottuu menettely, jota ei ta- vata muista uudelleenrakennuskomitean projekteista ja joka oli ylipäätään erittäin harvinainen arkkitehdin suunnittelutuotannossa. Hän nimittäin sisällytti lopulliseen, keisarille esiteltyyn suunnitelmaan kaksi vaihtoehtoa pääfasadiksi. Vaihtoehtoiset fasadipiirustukset ovat molemmat nyttemmin tulleet tutkimuksen ulottuville, toinen vuonna 1987 ja toinen 2006. Eräs yl- lättävä havainto vuonna 1987 oli, että nykyinen pääfasadi, jonka tiedetään säilyneen likipitäen alkuperäisellään, ei kaikin kohdin seurannutkaan vah- vistettua suunnitelmaa. Tässä artikkelissa keskityn käsittelemään pääfasa- din suunnittelua ja mahdollisia motiiveja vaihtoehtoisten fasadipiirustusten laatimiselle. Kuitenkin taustaksi käyn ensin läpi mm. aiemmin hyödyntä- mättä jääneiden kirjallisten lähteiden varassa virkatalon rakennushankkeen perustavia tapahtumia. Näin sitä suuremmalla syyllä, sillä hankkeen eräät piirteet viittaavat

  • Helsinki: an Overview
    Helsinki: An Overview Helsinki, the largest city in Finland, is the nation’s capital and its administrative, economic, scientific and cultural center. The metropolitan area covers 0.2 percent of Finland’s land area, yet 19 percent of the country’s population lives there, generating 30 percent of the nation’s total output. Demographics Helsinki is growing more international at a fast pace. Today 10 percent of Helsinki residents are foreign- born, and the frequency is higher among younger age groups. The proportion of foreign-born residents is expected to rise to 20-25 percent by 2025. Economy Finland’s economy is among the most competitive in the world, according to the World Economic Forum. Helsinki is the engine of Finland’s growth and is the country’s main economic and logistical center. Its industrial structure is diversified, but services and high-tech industries account for a large proportion of output. As the economic weight of Northern Europe shifts eastward, Helsinki is emerging as a regional hub of business and commerce. Located at the heart of the fast-growing Baltic Sea region, 315 miles due east of Stockholm, Helsinki serves as a gateway between East and West. Several daily flights and new high- speed trains link Helsinki to St. Petersburg, and extensive intercontinental flight connections make Helsinki a major hub for the megacities of East Asia, serving 13 million travelers in 2010. Annually, some 9 million ferry passengers travel through the port of Helsinki. Quality of Life Helsinki ranks second among European cities in The Economist Intelligence Unit’s Global Liveability Report (2010).

  • Toponyms and Place Heritage As Sources of Place Brand Value
    Paula Sjöblom–Ulla Hakala Toponyms and place heritage as sources of place brand value 1. Introduction Commercial producers have long seen the advantage of branding their products, and the idea of discovering or creating uniqueness also attracts the leaders and governments of countries, states and cities (aShWorth 2009). However, traditional product marketing framework has proved to be inadequate for places; therefore, place branding has rather leaned on corporate branding. Place branding is a long-term, strategic process that requires continuity, and these actions take time to be recognised (KavaratZIS 2009). As generally recognised not only in onomastics but also in marketing, a name can be seen as the core of a brand. Therefore, a place name is the core of a place brand. Having a name is having an identity. A brand name has functions that can be regarded as sources of brand equity, and name changes have proved to cause discomfort and distress amongst consumers (e.g. RounD–RoPER 2012, BRoWn 2016). The name of a place – having stayed unchanged – has traditionally represented permanence and stability and could be regarded as the place’s memory (BASSO 1996, hEllElanD 2009). Referring to lauRa koSTanSki (2016) and her theory of toponymic attachment, place names carry strong emotional and functional attachments. This theory is very important also regarding place branding. According to GRAHAM et al. (2000), heritage can be defined as the past and future in the present. Accordingly, place heritage is heritage which is bound up with physical space that is a place. As for the concept of place, it is a named space (lÉVi-STRauSS 1962).

  • The Acropolis
    November 2010 The Acropolis Acropolis is actually a generic Greek term referring to citadel on high ground originally designed for defense, and a number of Ancient Greek cities could boast such, such as Argos, Thebes, and Corinth. It was Athen’s acropolis, though that has become the Acropolis to the modern world. The Acropolis was formally proclaimed as the pre-eminent monument on the European Cultural Heritage list of monuments in 2007. The Acropolis is a flat-topped rock which rises 490 ft above sea level in the city of Athens, with a surface area of about 3 hectares. By the time of Pericles, during the Golden Age of Athens (460–430 BC), a number of temples had already been build and destroyed on the Acropolis, but most of the major temples were rebuilt under Pericles, Phidias (a great Athenian sculptor) and Ictinus and Callicrates (two famous architects) . During the 5th century BC, the Acropolis gained its final shape. After winning at Eurymedon in 468 BC, Cimon and Themistocles ordered the reconstruction of southern and northern walls, and Pericles entrusted the building of the Parthenon to Ictinus and Phidias. The Parthenon is the dominant building one sees standing atop the Acropolis today. It has been judged by architects as the most perfect building ever built by Man, and it undoubtedly is one of the major reasons why the Acropolis is so famous. The entrance to the Acropolis was a monumental gateway called the Propylaea. To the south is the tiny Temple of Athena Nike. A bronze statue of Athena, by Phidias, originally stood at its centre.

Insectivorous bats living near metal emission 33 sources can be vulnerable to such contaminants. Although it is known that bats can 34 bioaccumulate metals, little information exists on the effects of metal elements on their 35 physiological status. For example, oxidative status markers are known to vary after 36 detoxification processes and immune reactions. Here, for two consecutive summers, we 37 sampled individuals from a natural population of the insectivorous bat, Myotis daubentonii, 38 inhabiting a site close to a metal emission source. We quantified metals and metalloids (As, 39 Ca, Cd, Co, Cu, Mn, Ni, Pb, Se, Zn) from individual fecal pellets. We measured enzymatic 40 antioxidants (GP, CAT, SOD), total glutathione (tGSH) and ratio between reduced and 41 oxidized glutathione (GSH:GSSG) from their red blood cells together with biometrics, 42 hematocrit and parasite prevalence. In general, metal concentrations in feces of M.
