Finnish Botanists on the Kola Peninsula (Russia) up to 1918
Memoranda Soc. Soc. Fauna Fauna Flora Flora Fennica Fennica 89, 89: 2013 75–104. • Uotila 2013 75 Finnish botanists on the Kola Peninsula (Russia) up to 1918 Pertti Uotila Uotila, P., Finnish Museum of Natural History (Botany), P.O.Box 7, FI-00014 University of Helsinki, Finland. E-mail: [email protected] Finnish botanists actively studied the flora of Karelia (Karelian Republic) and the Kola Peninsula (Murmansk Region) when Finland was a Grand Duchy of Russia in 1809–1918. J. Fellman’s ex- peditions in 1829 were the first notable botanical expeditions to the area. Geologically and floristi- cally the area was similar to Finland, and exploring the area was considered to be a national duty for Finnish biologists. Almost 40 Finnish scientists who travelled on the Kola Peninsula collected significant amounts of herbarium specimens from there. The specimens are mostly in H, but du- plicates were distributed widely. The collectors include M. Aschan, W. M. Axelson (Linnaniemi), V. Borg (Kivilinna), M. Brenner, V. F. Brotherus, R. Envald, J. Fellman, N. I. Fellman, C. W. Fontell, E. af Hällström, H. Hollmén, P. A. Karsten, A. Osw. Kihlman (Kairamo), F. W. Klingstedt, H. Lindberg, J. Lindén, A. J. Malmberg (Mela), J. Montell, F. Nylander, J. A. Palmén, V. Pesola, P. A. Rantaniemi, J. Sahlberg, and G. Selin. A short description is given of the biographies of the most important collectors with notes on their itineraries. Details of the collections from the Kola Peninsula are mostly taken from the vascular-plant specimens kept in the Finnish main herbaria and entered in the Floristic database Kastikka of the Finnish Museum of Natural History.

Food Cultures in Sápmi
Theses and Papers in Scientific Archaeology 16 Markus Fjellström This thesis concerns the study of diet and mobility of humans and animals living in Sápmi between 600 and 1900 AD. It is through the Food Cultures in Sápmi employment of stable isotope analysis, elemental analysis and radiocarbon dating of human and faunal skeletal remains that food An interdisciplinary approach to the study of the heterogeneous culture in (pre-)historic Sápmi is highlighted. Moreover, the ethics of cultural landscape of northern Fennoscandia AD 600–1900 repatriation and reburial is discussed. The investigations demonstrate that Sápmi is a culturally heterogeneous landscape, which constantly Cultures in Sápmi Food changes. Markus Fjellström The results from the different case studies have demonstrated that differences in food consumption reflect a multicultural landscape, where intra-individual analysis of diet and mobility provided information on more complex societies. Further, the results indicated that reindeer protein was not a major food source at the sites studied. Finally, the mining activities at Silbojokk can be seen as the result of colonial infraction on nature and people in Sápmi by the Swedish state. Markus Fjellström is an archaeologist at the Archaeological Research Laboratory. His main research concerns diet and mobility patterns from the Late Iron Age to the Early Modern period in Sápmi. He also has an interest in glacial archaeology and climate change.

Bq Divided Into 3 Zones: Boreal Forest, Low-Alpine and Middle- to High-Alpine
Assessment of Environmental Radioactivity in Natural Food Products from Northern Norway Nalbandyan A1, Gwynn JP1, Eikelmann IM2, Møller B2, Nilssen J2, Rudolfsen G1. Norwegian Radiation Protection Authority 1Environmental Unit, Fram Centre, N-9296 Tromsø, Norway 2Emergency Preparedness Unit, N-9925 Svanvik, Norway E- mail: [email protected] 1. Introduction The issue of environmental radioactivity is of special concern to the Arctic region due to numerous existing and potential sources of radioactive pollution in the immediate and adjacent areas . Sub-Arctic and Arctic food chains can be short, providing a potentially quick uptake route for radionuclides to biota and man. Thus, it is important to conduct comprehensive environmental radioactivity monitoring programmes, especially in the areas widely used by population for collection of natural food products. The goal of this research is to assess current radioactivity levels in the terrestrial environment in the Northern part of Norway, on the territory of Dividalen National Park and Pasvik National Park . The main focus was to analyse natural products such as berries, mushrooms and Vaccinium Empetrum Chamaepericlymenum Vaccinium Rubus freshwater water fish. myrtillus nigrum suecicum vitis-idaea chamaemorus 137 Fig. 1. Cs in berries from Pasvikdalen and Dividalen. 2. Background Øvre Dividalen national park covers an area of 750 km2 in the eastern part of Troms along the Swedish border . The park represents a typical northern Norwegian inland mountain landscape with steep high mountains of up to 1700 m, deep ravines, open plateaus, pine and birch forest, bogs and lakes.

Business plan for the Wilderness Guide Cooperative Äes Antti Emil Pöysä 2017 Business plan for the Wilderness Guide Cooperative Äes Antti Emil Pöysä A business plan submitted to the School of Tourism and Maritime Technology of Polytechnic Institute of Leiria in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Master's Degree in Sustainable Tourism Management Business plan written under the supervision of Professor Luís Lima Santos and Professor Conceição Gomes 2017 Executive summary Thesis in Finnish is opinnäytetyö, a word that can be translated as "showcasing of what has been learned". Firstly, this business plan is written to apply, as versatilely as possible, what I have learned in the University of Applied Sciences for Engineering and Economics Berlin's Bachelor in International Business program and later in the Polytechnic of Leiria's Master in Sustainable Tourism Management program. Secondly, the business plan utilises my experience and networks in organising up to three week wilderness tours, which I have done in more or less wild environments in Finland, Portugal, and Russia. The reasoning and justifications in this plan are possibly more thorough than a regular business plan would have, since this one is done partly for academic purposes. Despite the academic approach, the business plan is still a functional and flexible decision making tool. One of the goals was to write a plan that can be easily understood and followed by the internal stakeholders of the business. The business plan is for a company that offers one to two weeks guided, self–sustained wilderness tours in the Finnish Lapland, which are done by hiking, paddling, or skiing.
