Regions of Eastern Finland (Summary)
Summary of views on the 2nd Cohesion Report Regions of Eastern Finland, 27.8.2001 Regions of South Karelia, South Savo, Kainuu, North Karelia and North Savo Starting point: - The EU regional policy is important for the development of Eastern Finland regions. - During the period 1995-1999 Eastern Finland was covered by the Obj 6, 5b and Interreg II A programmes. Of these the Obj 6 programme area was defined in the Accession Treaty of Finland and Sweden on account of specific circumstances of sparse population. - In the present period until 2006 the South Savo, North Karelia, North Savo and Kainuu regions form an Obj 1 programme area. At the same time East Finland has an A support status according to Article 87.3 of the Treaty, allowing allocation of higher state aid. The region of South Karelia is covered by the Obj 2 programme. In addition there are two Interreg III A programmes implemented in the area. - The Eastern Finland regions consider that the additionality principle has not been followed in the implementation of the regional development programmes. - The Eastern Finland (NUTS II area) GDP has lowered by 2.3 % between 1995-1999 in comparison to the EU average, and by over 5 % in comparison to the national average. It is very likely that the GDP/capita of Eastern Finland will not exceed 75 % of EU15 average without (national) specific measures. Views on the future Cohesion Policy: - The enlargement and increase of territorial inequality means that sufficient structural policy resources are required to guarantee a stable regional development. It seems that the proposed 0.45 % of the GDP will not be enough in the enlarged Union. -

Lyme Borreliosis in Finland, 1995–2014
Article DOI: https://doi.org/10.3201/eid2308.161273 Lyme Borreliosis in Finland, 1995–2014 Technical Appendix Methods Case Definitions for Lyme Borreliosis (LB), Lyme Neuroborreliosis (LNB), and Lyme Arthritis (LA) Cases in Avohilmo reflect clinically diagnosed EM cases. EM can be diagnosed as a reddish/blueish skin rash often with a central clearing expanding at least up to 5 cm in diameter in several days to weeks after a tick bite. No laboratory testing is required since the rapid expansion of the rash makes it distinctive from other skin lesion (1). Moreover, borrelia serology is usually negative at the early phase of infection (2). Microbiologically confirmed LB cases are diagnosed by the detection of borrelia-specific IgG and/or IgM antibodies in serum and/or cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), and subsequently notified to the NIDR. In Finland, serology is based on the two-tier testing where borrelia-specific antibodies are detected by a sensitive enzyme immuno assay (EIA) followed by a more specific immunoblot. In total, eight laboratories (including both public and private units) perform LB laboratory diagnostics. We defined a LNB case as a patient diagnosed with the following ICD-10 codes: “A69.2” (Lyme borreliosis) and either “G01.9” (meningitis) and/or “G63.0” (polyneuropathy). A case of LA was defined as a patient diagnosed with “A69.2” and “M01” (arthritis in Lyme disease). LNB is clinically diagnosed as lymphocytic meningitis, radiculoneuritis, or cranial neuritis with the laboratory confirmation of the central nervous system involvement which includes CSF pleocytosis and detection of intrathecally produced borrelia-specific antibodies, or rarely amplification of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato (Bbsl) DNA from the CSF sample. -
Paleoproterozoic Mafic and Ultramafic Volcanic Rocks in the South Savo Region, Eastern Finland
Development of the Paleoproterozoic Svecofennian orogeny: new constraints from the southeastern boundary of the Central Finland Granitoid Complex Edited by Perttu Mikkola, Pentti Hölttä and Asko Käpyaho Geological Survey of Finland, Bulletin 407, 63-84, 2018 PALEOPROTEROZOIC MAFIC AND ULTRAMAFIC VOLCANIC ROCKS IN THE SOUTH SAVO REGION, EASTERN FINLAND by Jukka Kousa, Perttu Mikkola and Hannu Makkonen Kousa, J., Mikkola, P. & Makkonen, H. 2018. Paleoproterozoic mafic and ultramafic volcanic rocks in the South Savo region, eastern Finland. Geological Survey of Finland, Bulletin 407, 63–84, 11 figures and 1 table. Ultramafic and mafic volcanic rocks are present as sporadic interlayers in the Paleo- proterozoic Svecofennian paragneiss units in the South Savo region of eastern Finland. These elongated volcanic bodies display locally well-preserved primary structures, have a maximum thickness of ca. 500 m and a maximum length of several kilometres. Geo- chemically, the ultramafic variants are picrites, whereas the mafic members display EMORB-like chemical compositions. The picrites, in particular, display significant com- positional variation in both major and trace elements (light rare earth and large-ion lithophile elements). These differences may have been caused by differences in their magma source, variable degrees of crustal contamination and post-magmatic altera- tion, as well as crystal accumulation and fractionation processes. The volcanic units are interpreted to represent extensional phase(s) in the development of the sedimentary basin(s) where the protoliths of the paragneisses were deposited. The eruption age of the volcanic units is interpreted to be 1.91–1.90 Ga. Appendix 1 is available at: http://tupa.gtk.fi/julkaisu/liiteaineisto/bt_407_appendix_1. -
Preliminary Population Statistics 2017, March
Population 2017 Preliminary population statistics 2017, March Finland’s preliminary population figure 5,504,913 at the end of March New releases will not be produced on preliminary population statistics any more in 2017. Revised figures concerning 2017 will be released at a later date to be announced separately. Corrected on 16 June 2017. The corrections are indicated in red. According to Statistics Finland's preliminary data, Finland's population at the end of March was 5,504,913. During January-March Finland's population increased by 1,616 persons, which is 612 persons more than in the preliminary data the year before. The reason for the population increase was migration gain from abroad: the number of immigrants was 3,868 higher than that of emigrants. There was no natural population growth, since deaths exceeded births by 2,252 persons. Population increase by month 2014–2017* According to the preliminary statistics for January-March 2017, a total of 12,118 children were born, which is 925 fewer than in the corresponding period 2016. The number of deaths was 14,370, which is 291 lower than one year earlier. Helsinki 9.6.2017 Quoting is encouraged provided Statistics Finland is acknowledged as the source. Altogether 7,062 persons immigrated to Finland from abroad and 3,194 persons emigrated from Finland during January-March period. The number of immigrants was 828 higher and the number of emigrants 418 lower than in the previous year. 1 520 of the immigrants and 2,127 of the emigrants were Finnish citizens. According to the preliminary data, the number of inter-municipal migrations totalled 56,798 by the end of March. -
Chapter 1 Migration in Finland and the Context of Integration Policy
1. MIGRATION IN FINLAND AND THE CONTEXT OF INTEGRATION POLICY – 45 Chapter 1 Migration in Finland and the context of integration policy Despite rapid growth over the past 25 years, Finland’s migrant population is not large in international comparison. The foreign-born in Finland, however, come from a diverse range of countries and bring with them a concomitantly wide range of integration service needs. The increase in inflows – particularly asylum seekers – in 2015, put a strain on the Finnish integration system, which was designed to support far fewer migrants. And important changes were introduced as the system struggled to maintain efficiency in the fact of increasing demand. These changes included integration services organised into modules that could be more easily combined into a tailored package of measures and the introduction of the Social Impact Bond to harness private finance in support of integration. If effective in ensuring Finland’s migrants are well integrated in society and on the labour market, these investments will help to alleviate the ageing-related challenges the country expects in the coming years.. This chapter provides the context for the report outlining i) the integration context, and the characteristics and composition of Finland’s foreign-born population that influence their integration outcomes, as well as the labour market context and challenges this presents, before turning to ii) the recent developments in integration policy in Finland. WORKING TOGETHER: SKILLS AND LABOUR MARKET INTEGRATION OF IMMIGRANTS AND THEIR CHILDREN IN FINLAND © OECD 2018 46 – 1. MIGRATION IN FINLAND AND THE CONTEXT OF INTEGRATION POLICY Over the last quarter of a century, Finland’s foreign-born population has been growing at a compound annual rate of 6.8 %; where the foreign-born accounted for just 1% of the Finnish population in 1990, in 2016 they accounted for close to 6.5%. -
The Status of Semi-Natural Grasslands in the Province of South Karelia, SE Finland

Bot. Fennici 36: 181–186. The semi-natural grasslands were inventoried in the province of South Karelia (Fin- land) in 1992, 1993 and 1996. Altogether 89 different sites were found, covering a total area of 97 hectares. The sites were classified into five different biotopes, which com- prised a total of 115 grasslands. Three-quarters of all sites (68, 76%), covering an area of 65 hectares (67% of total), were assessed as being in danger of losing their value because of either poor management or lack of management. The results indicate that the area of semi-natural grasslands in the province is now about 250 times smaller (0.4%) than at the beginning of the 20th century. The status of these environments in South Karelia is alarming.
