ACTIVITY REPORT The 80th Grand Master of the Sovereign Order of Malta Fra’ Giacomo Dalla Torre del Tempio di Sanguinetto elected 2 May 2018 A message from the Grand Master As Grand Masters down the centuries before me have done, I now have the great re- Fra’ Giacomo sponsibility of leading our Order in its continuing mission of tuitio fidei et obsequium Dalla Torre pauperum (to care for those in need, inspired by our Christian principles) – which is in its almost one thousandth year. From the care for pilgrims and the sick in del Tempio Jerusalem carried out so long ago by our Founder Blessed Gérard and his congre- gation, to the care we give today to those in need, the Order has extended its reach di Sanguinetto but maintained its same inspiration. Our tradition is that of care and of a spiritual 80th Grand Master motivation. We have travelled through eras that have at times been difficult, but the of the Sovereign Order of Malta Order has always stayed the course and kept its focus on the most important mat- ters – our care for those who need us, with Christian love of our fellow man. The care we provide ranges over many kinds of support, and one of the most involv- ing at the moment is that of assisting the many thousands of refugees and migrants at all stages of their search for stability and a better life. We help them in their coun- tries of origin, on the routes they take to escape the crisis situations they leave be- hind and in the host countries. -

Transnational Finnish Mobilities: Proceedings of Finnforum XI
Johanna Leinonen and Auvo Kostiainen (Eds.) Johanna Leinonen and Auvo Kostiainen This volume is based on a selection of papers presented at Johanna Leinonen and Auvo Kostiainen (Eds.) the conference FinnForum XI: Transnational Finnish Mobili- ties, held in Turku, Finland, in 2016. The twelve chapters dis- cuss two key issues of our time, mobility and transnational- ism, from the perspective of Finnish migration. The volume is divided into four sections. Part I, Mobile Pasts, Finland and Beyond, brings forth how Finland’s past – often imagined TRANSNATIONAL as more sedentary than today’s mobile world – was molded by various short and long-distance mobilities that occurred FINNISH MOBILITIES: both voluntarily and involuntarily. In Part II, Transnational Influences across the Atlantic, the focus is on sociocultural PROCEEDINGS OF transnationalism of Finnish migrants in the early 20th cen- tury United States. Taken together, Parts I and II show how FINNFORUM XI mobility and transnationalism are not unique features of our FINNISH MOBILITIES TRANSNATIONAL time, as scholars tend to portray them. Even before modern communication technologies and modes of transportation, migrants moved back and forth and nurtured transnational ties in various ways. Part III, Making of Contemporary Finn- ish America, examines how Finnishness is understood and maintained in North America today, focusing on the con- cepts of symbolic ethnicity and virtual villages. Part IV, Con- temporary Finnish Mobilities, centers on Finns’ present-day emigration patterns, repatriation experiences, and citizen- ship practices, illustrating how, globally speaking, Finns are privileged in their ability to be mobile and exercise transna- tionalism. Not only is the ability to move spread very uneven- ly, so is the capability to upkeep transnational connections, be they sociocultural, economic, political, or purely symbol- ic. -

The Wolf Debate in Finland
Ruralia Institute Jukka Bisi Sami Kurki The wolf debate in Finland Publications 12 The wolf debate in Finland Expectations and objectives for the management of the wolf population at regional and national level Jukka Bisi Sami Kurki Seinäjoki 2008 Publisher: University of Helsinki Ruralia Institute Kampusranta 9 FIN-60320 SEINÄJOKI Puh. +358 6 4213 300 Fax. +358 6 4213 301 ISBN 978-952-10-4135-8 (paperback) 978-952-10-4136-5 (pdf) ISSN 1796-0649 (paperback) 1796-0657 (pdf) Printed by Oy Fram Ab, Vaasa Foreword The wolf has returned to the Finnish countryside and once again there is no avoiding the fact that the interaction of man and wolf is an extremely painful one. Attitudes to the wolf divide Finns, and the wolf itself causes opinion to change fast once it has arrived in new areas. The wolf is a perpetual problem environmentally, something people have to live with on a daily basis. But what is the importance of social sustainability and how can protection of the wolf be reconciled with what local people see as a decline in the quality of life? How should the wolf issue be managed and who should act in what situation? These are the questions which have to be addressed in preparations for a national policy on wolves. Studies relating to policy on large carnivores for the University of Helsinki’s Institute for Rural Research and Training (Ruralia) represent a breakthrough, yet people in rural communities have always been at the centre of research. The sustainable use of natural resources is becoming more and more about socio-economic issues, with ecology obviously imposing its own set of condi- tions. -
