  • Tornado Climatology of Finland
    1446 MONTHLY WEATHER REVIEW VOLUME 140 Tornado Climatology of Finland JENNI RAUHALA Finnish Meteorological Institute, Helsinki, Finland HAROLD E. BROOKS NOAA/National Severe Storms Laboratory, Norman, Oklahoma DAVID M. SCHULTZ Centre for Atmospheric Science, School for Earth, Atmospheric and Environmental Sciences, University of Manchester, Manchester, United Kingdom, and Division of Atmospheric Science, Department of Physics, University of Helsinki, and Finnish Meteorological Institute, Helsinki, Finland (Manuscript received 31 July 2011, in final form 8 November 2011) ABSTRACT A tornado climatology for Finland is constructed from 1796 to 2007. The climatology consists of two datasets. A historical dataset (1796–1996) is largely constructed from newspaper archives and other historical archives and datasets, and a recent dataset (1997–2007) is largely constructed from eyewitness accounts sent to the Finnish Meteorological Institute and news reports. This article describes the process of collecting and evaluating possible tornado reports. Altogether, 298 Finnish tornado cases compose the climatology: 129 from the historical dataset and 169 from the recent dataset. An annual average of 14 tornado cases occur in Finland (1997–2007). A case with a significant tornado (F2 or stronger) occurs in our database on average every other year, composing 14% of all tornado cases. All documented tornadoes in Finland have occurred between April and November. As in the neighboring countries in northern Europe, July and August are the months with the maximum frequency of tornado cases, coincident with the highest lightning occurrence both over land and sea. Waterspouts tend to be favored later in the summer, peaking in August. The peak month for significant tornadoes is August.

  • Food and Health in Europe: Europe: in Health and Food WHO Regional Publications
    Food and health in Europe: Food and health WHO Regional Publications European Series, No. 96 a new basis for action Food and health in Europe: a new basis for action 96 The World Health Organization was established in 1948 as a specialized agency of the United Nations serving as the directing and coordinating authority for international health matters and public health. One of WHO’s constitutional functions is to provide objective and reliable information and advice in the field of human health, a responsibility that it fulfils in part through its publications programmes. Through its publications, the Organization seeks to support national health strategies and address the most pressing public health concerns. The WHO Regional Office for Europe is one of six regional offices throughout the world, each with its own programme geared to the particular health problems of the countries it serves. The European Region embraces some 870 million people living in an area stretching from Greenland in the north and the Mediterranean in the south to the Pacific shores of the Russian Federation. The European programme of WHO therefore concentrates both on the problems associated with industrial and post-industrial society and on those faced by the emerging democracies of central and eastern Europe and the former USSR. To ensure the widest possible availability of authoritative information and guidance on health matters, WHO secures broad international distribution of its publications and encourages their translation and adaptation. By helping to promote and protect health and prevent and control disease, WHO’s books contribute to achieving the Organization’s principal objective – the attainment by all people of the highest possible level of health.

Mortality among forensic psychiatric patients in Finland. Nord J Psychiatry 2015;69:25 – 27. Background: Both mental illness and criminality are associated with higher risk of early death, yet the mortality among forensic psychiatric patients who are affected by both mental illness and criminal behaviour has scarcely been studied. Aims: To analyse the mortality among all patients who were committed to a compulsory forensic psychiatric hospital treatment in Finland between 1980 and 2009. Mortality was analysed according to the age when the patient was committed to forensic treatment. Results: A total of 1253 patients were included, of which 153 were females and 1100 were males. The mean follow-up time in this study was 15.1 years, and 351 (28%) had died during the follow-up period.
