An Ongoing Process of Modernization: Libraries and Librarianship in Estonia Aira Lepik Abstract Libraries are a component of our ever-changing social environment. Organizational change in libraries involves many activities, includ- ing the development of mission statements, the refinement of goals regarding the role of the library in the knowledge society, the re- structuring of organizations, the use of information and communica- tion technologies, the training of librarians, and the management of finances. Estonian libraries are information centers that support research and innovation by providing the access to scholarly and professional information; supporting education, lifelong learning, and cultural development; introducing world culture; ensuring in- formation provision to all social groups; supporting the development of the information society through the implementing new technolo- gies; contributing to the integration of the European information treasury; and helping to gain an international reputation for Estonia. An Introduction to Estonia The Republic of Estonia (EestiVabariik) is a state in the Baltic region of northern Europe. It is bordered to the north by the Gulf of Finland, to the west by the Baltic Sea, to the south by Latvia, and to the east by Lake Peipsi and the Russian Federation. Across the Baltic Sea lies Sweden in the west and Finland to the north. The territory of Estonia covers 45,227 square ki- lometers (17,462 square miles) and is influenced by a humid, continental climate. The Estonian language is a Finno-Ugric language closely related to Finnish, and distantly to Hungarian and to the Sami languages. -

Culturally Optimised Nutritionally Adequate Food Baskets for Dietary Guidelines for Minimum Wage Estonian Families

This study aims to help develop nutritionally adequate, health-promoting, and culturally acceptable dietary guidelines at an affordable price. Three food baskets (FBs) were optimised using linear programming to meet recommended nutrient intakes (RNIs), or Estonian dietary guidelines, or both. In total, 6255 prices of 422 foods were collected. The Estonian National Dietary Survey (ENDS) provided a proxy for cultural acceptability. Food baskets for a family of four, earning minimum wage, contain between 73 and 96 foods and cost between 10.66 and 10.92 EUR per day. The nutritionally adequate FB that does not follow Estonian dietary guidelines deviates the least (26% on average) from ENDS but contains twice the sugar, sweets, and savoury snacks recommended. The health-promoting FB (40% deviation) contains a limited amount of sugar, sweets, and savoury snacks. -

FIRST NAME CHOICES in ZAGREB and SOFIA Johanna Virkkula
SLAVICA HELSINGIENSIA 44 FIRST NAME CHOICES IN ZAGREB AND SOFIA Johanna Virkkula HELSINKI 2014 SLAVICA HELSINGIENSIA 44 Series editors Tomi Huttunen, Jouko Lindstedt, Ahti Nikunlassi Published by: Department of Modern Languages P.O. Box 24 (Unioninkatu 40 B) 00014 University of Helsinki Finland Copyright © by Johanna Virkkula ISBN 978-951-51-0093-1 (paperback) ISBN 978-951-51-0094-8 (PDF) ISSN-L 0780-3281, ISSN 0780-3281 (Print), ISSN 1799-5779 (Online) Printed by: Unigrafia Summary This study explores reasons for first name choice for children using a survey carried out in two places: Zagreb, the capital of Croatia, and Sofia, the capital of Bulgaria. The outcomes of the analysis are twofold: reasons for name choice in the two communities are explored, and the application of survey methods to studies of name choice is discussed. The theoretical framework of the study is socio-onomastic, or more precisely socio- anthroponomastic, and the work explores boundaries of social intuition. It is argued that parents’ social intuition – based on rules and norms for name choice in their communities that they may not even be consciously aware of – guides them in choices related to namegiving. A survey instrument was used to collect data on naming choices and the data were analysed using both qualitative and quantitative methods. The study explored in detail five themes affecting reasons for name choice. These themes were: tradition and family, international names, aesthetic values and positive meanings, current names and special names. The process of naming is discussed in detail, as are the effects of the parents’ education and the child’s sex on name choice. -
