Getting to Åland… …from Stockholm: Flights from Arlanda are operated by NextJet. Connection buses to Grisslehamn (Eckerö linjen) and Kapellskär (Viking Line) leave several times per day from Cityterminalen. If you go with Eckerö linjen, remember to have cash to pay the bus to Mariehamn with (4.80€, they also accept Swedish kronor), as the ferry arrives 35 kilometers from the city center in Berghamn. Ferries also depart directly from Stockholm Stadsgården, Tegelvikshamn (Viking Line) and Värtahamnen (TallinkSilja), these routes do however take longer than the other options. …from Helsinki: Flights from Helsinki-Vantaa Airport are operated by Flybe. Ferries from Helsinki to Åland (TallinkSilja and Viking Line) depart in the evening but arrive very early in the morning and are therefore not recommended. …from Turku: Flights from Turku airport are operated by NextJet. Ferries depart four times per day either in the morning or evening and arrive either in the afternoon in Mariehamn or in the night in Långnäs. If you decide to go to Långnäs, make sure you either have your busticket paid in advance or that you have cash for it (12€).

Enne Ip 2018
ENNE IP 2018 An opportunity to engage with European nursing students Welcome to Finland! ENNE IP 2018 will take place at Satakunta University of Applied Sciences, SAMK, in Pori campus on 22. – 28. April, 2018. The intensive programme is hosted by one of the 14 member institu- tions and enables students to develop their intercultural competencies around an understanding of: • the social determinants of health in different European countries • the impact of globalisation on health • policy-making processes and approaches to policy analysis and evaluation across different health and social care systems • different models of organisation and delivery of health and social care services • the principles of nursing care and the role of the nursing profes- sion within health and social care practices in different European countries. The programme is run using problem-based learning principles in which students work together in tutorial groups of seven to eight students per group mixed according to participating nationalities. A patient case scenario is used to enable students to share knowledge, practice and experiences in planning the care for the patient. Students are expected to prepare in advance a presentation about their own country; and discuss topics such as the general character- istics of their own health and social care system, nursing curriculum; and cultural characteristics (food, life style, family patterns, etc.). In addition there will be visits to health and social care providers; as well as social activities all designed to promote intercultural understanding. A detailed description of the programme; and what students are ex- pected to prepare prior to the start of the programme will be provided in advance.

Till följd av eget intresse för flygbranschen och som en tidigare anställd på Åbo flygplats strävar jag genom detta examensarbete att genomföra en marknadsundersökning på kundgruppen affärsresenärer som en inledning till en tjänsteutvecklingsprocess på flygplatsen. Genom att undersöka vilka behov av tjänster på flygplatser som affärsresenärer har och ifall behoven möts skapas en grund för rekommendationer som skall hjälpa Åbo flygplats att bli en bättre anpassad flygplats för affärsresenärer. Undersökningen görs som en kvantitativ enkätstudie och de svar som erhålls i undersökningen stöder den teori som utgjort grunden för arbetet och undersökningen. Respondenterna i undersökningen ger konkreta förbättringsförslag för tjänster som sedan har beaktats i de rekommendationer som ges åt Finavia. Resultatet av arbetet visar att affärsresenärerna på Åbo flygplats

Radioactivity of Fucus Vesiculosus Along the Finnish Coast in 1987

Ikäheimonen Finnish Centre for Radiation and Nuclear Safety P.O.Box 268, SF-00101 HELSINKI FINLAND ISBN 951-47-1474-1 ISSN 0781-1705 Helsinki 1988. Valtion painatuskeskus 3 ABSTRACT Samples of Fucus vesiculosus were collected along the west and south coast of Finland at 25 stations in June-October 1987. More detailed surveys were conducted in the marine areas surrounding the nuclear power stations at Olkiluoto and Loviisa. The samples were analysed for gamma-emitting radionuclides and partly also for 90Sr and transuranic elements. From the twelve gamma-emitting radionuclides detected in the Fucus samples, 40 K, 106 Ru, 110" Ag, 134 Cs and 137 Cs were found in nearly all samples. 54Mn and 65Zn were almost regularly detected in the sam ples from the Olkiluoto and Loviisa areas and commonly also along -che whole coast, whereas 60Co was rarely found at the coastal stations outside the immediate vicinities of the power stations. The activity concentrations of l3 7 Cs varied in the Fucus samples from 80 to 670 Bq kg*1 dry weight. The highest values were found in the Loviisa area and in the eastern part of the Gulf of Finland and the \ lowest in the Archipelago Sea.

Since waterways often provide the only viable connection between islands, the planning of ferry routes and capacities relative to prevailing population patterns is critical. In this paper, we present a case study of Pargas, a rural archipelago region in Southwestern Finland, which in many ways provides a typical example of current depopulation trends in archipelago regions. Owing to high maintenance costs, changing population patterns and transportation needs, the ferry network of Pargas has recently attracted attention in terms of planning and a perceived need to reduce costs. Still, compared to in-land transportation, few academic studies have explored this issue. Using methods adapted from urban and land-based transport studies and diverse datasets, we aim at identifying spatial discrepancies between population patterns and transport options in the peripheral archipelago and at determining how well the ferry network meets the needs of the permanent and seasonal population of the islands. Our results show that although the existing ferry network in general functions relatively well in relation to the population, spatial mismatches between transport opportunities and population patterns in some of the prominent islands are nevertheless evident.
