The company has numerous subsidiaries and representative offices around the world. The Group employs over 7,000 people, and its turnover totals more than FIM 12,000 million. We invest nearly 2% of our turnover in research and product development. This annual brochure presents examples of our work, which concentrates on the improvement of the economic and environ­ mental aspects of energy services. IVO Technology Centre starts operations Energy Innovation 1997 is being published at about the same time as the research and development activities of the IVO Group are being reorganised. The IVO Technology Centre’s operations will be characterised by intensive interaction between re­ search, product development, testing and expert services, and by international contacts and network­ ing. The services provided by the 270 employees of the IVO Technology Centre come under the col­ lective brand name of IVO Tech. Success in the international energy market requires efficiency and swift action. Naturally, this rule also applies - with particular force - to the IVO Tech­ nology Centre, which was established so that we could meet the immediate needs of our customers better and at the same time take advantage of the medium-term and long-term opportunities offered to us in the future. Power plants become versatile processing facilities Thermal power technology is a key area in our development work. This technology is discussed in the articles describing new solutions related to the combined generation of electricity and heat, solu­ tions which increase the number of fuel options for power plants and bring new elements into the product range alongside electricity and heat. The recently developed bed mixing dryer allows the burning of moister fuels than used to be the case, and in such a way that the energy used for drying is recovered. This clearly increases the profitabil­ ity of a power plant. A contract for the first deliv­ ery of the new dryer product to a customer has been signed. In (he area of power plant development, the IVO Group has its own key technology, namely the numerical model calculation of processes. The new flow software enables die controlled planning of the Low-NOx burning and beat transfer in a power plant boiler. The software development is continu­ ing, so that its use will enable improvements in die technology related to the use of multiple and mixed fuels, a technology which interests many of our customers today. Competitive advantages from environmentally-oriented energy generation Research on the water aspect continues to be an area of emphasis in our company, whose origins lie in the Imatra hydropower plant. The articles deal with the reduction of short-term regulating activities at power plants and with the protection of the endangered lake salmon. The improvement of environmental conditions is also discussed in an article investigating possible new uses for the vig- orous but currently untapped flora which grows beneath the transmission lines that criss-cross our landscape.

  • Fachstudienreise Finnland Holzbaucluster Rheinland
    Studienreise des Clusters Holzbau Rheinland-Pfalz nach Finnland im März 2011 Auf Initiative der Zimmererinnung Rhein-Westerwald wurde in Kooperation mit der Kreishandwerkerschaft Rhein-Westerwald zusammen mit dem Baugewerbeverband und dem Holzbaucluster Rheinland-Pfalz eine Studienreise nach Finnland organisiert. Dabei war es Ziel, Produktions- und Vermarktungsmethoden in einem Land zu studieren, das stärker vom Wald geprägt ist und einen deutlich höheren Holzbauanteil aufweist, als es in Deutschland der Fall ist. In Finnland existieren eine stärkere industrielle Prägung des Bauens, höhere klimatische Anforderungen und eine besondere Designkultur. Der Cluster Forst und Holz hat eine deutlich höhere Bedeutung als bei uns und die Exportanstrengungen sind beträchtlich. Letzteres betrifft nicht nur reine Sägewerksprodukte, sondern mehr und mehr ganze Bausysteme. Über Kapitalbeteiligungen, Mehrheitsübernahmen, aber auch den Ausbau eigener Kapazitäten im Kern Europas wird die Expansion gezielt in Angriff genommen. Kurz gesagt: mit Finnland muss man rechnen und so war es Ziel der Exkursion, den Teilnehmern anschaulich zu machen, welche Bedeutung dies für das jeweils eigene Unternehmen hat. Das Fachprogramm sowie die Gesamtorganisation der Fachexkursion wurde vom Obermeister der Zimmererinnung Rhein-Westerwald, Herrn Volker Höhn, ausgearbeitet und geleitet. Durch das Vorstandsmitglied der Zimmererinnung Johannes Kern konnte der deutschsprachige Finne Herr Matti Naukarinnen als Begleiter der Delegation gewonnen werden. Als ehemaliger Deutschland-Geschäftsführer der Firma Honka-Blockhaus führte er die Gruppe nicht nur mit exzellenten Kenntnissen seines Heimatlandes, seine Kontakte zu den zu besichtigenden Betrieben und Holzbauobjekten waren für die Teilnehmer von großem Wert. Der fachliche Teil des Programmes war somit in seiner Gesamtheit von kaum zu überbietender Qualität. Der Besuch war in jeder Hinsicht positiv und die fachliche Offenheit sowie die Gastfreundschaft unserer finnischen Kollegen sehr beeindruckend.

  • Antiarrhythmic Drug Therapy Among Patients Presenting to Emergency
    Penttilä et al. Scandinavian Journal of Trauma, Resuscitation and Emergency Medicine (2017) 25:81 DOI 10.1186/s13049-017-0424-7 ORIGINALRESEARCH Open Access Antiarrhythmic drug therapy among patients presenting to emergency department with symptomatic atrial fibrillation – a prospective nationwide cohort Tero Penttilä1*, Heikki Mäkynen1, Juha Hartikainen2, Harri Hyppölä3, Timo Lauri4, Mika Lehto5, Juha Lund6, MJ Pekka Raatikainen5 and for the FinFib2 investigators Abstract Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common arrhythmia that causes numerous visits to emergency departments (ED). The aim of the FinFib2 study was to evaluate whether treatment of patients with AF in ED is consistent with the contemporary European Society of Cardiology (ESC) management guidelines. Here we report the results of antiarrhythmic drug therapy (AAD) in ED. Methods: All patients within the two-week study period whose primary reason for the ED visit was symptomatic AF were included into this prospective multicentre study. Comprehensive data on factors contributing to the treatment of AF were collected, including a data of previous use of ADDs, and changes made for them during a visit in ED. Results: The study population consisted of 1013 consecutive patients (mean age 70 ± 13 years, 47.6% female). The mean European Heart Rhythm Association (EHRA) symptom score was 2.2 ± 0.8. Rhythm control strategy was opt for 498 (63.8%) and 140 (64.5%) patients with previously and newly diagnosed AF, respectively. In patients with previously diagnosed AF the most frequently used AAD was a beta blocker (80.9%). Prior use of class I (11.4%) and III (9.1%) AADs as well as start or adjustment of their dosage (7.4%) were uncommon.

  • 2007 Background Main Results at the Oulujoki River
    RESTORING SALMON INTO OULURIVER Main results of the project OuLo, 2006 - 2007 Background The idea of restoring migratory fish upstream of the dams in the River Oulujoki has been raised since the successful completion of the Merikoski fishway at the river mouth in 2003. Preconditions for salmon migration and reproduction in this former salmon river have been surveyed in the project "Restoring salmon runs into Oulu and Lososinka Rivers", OuLo. The main target area has been the River Oulujoki but studies have also been made in the River Lososinka which runs through the city of Petrozavodsk into the Lake Onego in Russian Carelia. Salmon passage has been blocked in this small river for a long time period. The main aim was to survey the preconditions and possible means of restoring migratory fish runs into these two former salmon rivers. Another main aim was to create close co-operation between Finnish and Russian experts, research institutes and authorities and to develop forms for action in realizing large projects in the different planning cultures of the two countries involved. The project got financial funding from Euregio Carelia Neighbourhood Program. Other funding was provided by the Council of Oulu Region, the Federation of Municipalities and Province of Kainuu, Fortum Power and Heat corp., the municipalities of Muhos, Utajärvi, Vaala and Paltamo and the City of Oulu. The project was part Oulu-Kajaani Regional Development Zone. The project was co- ordinated by North Ostrobothnia Regional Environment Centre. The Finnish partners were Game and Fisheries Research Institute, University of Oulu, Finnish Environment Institute and Kainuu Regional Environment Centre.
