It presents the results of many months of cross-border and interdisciplinary teamwork, which is now ready to be shared with a wider public. This project once again shows how contagious good ideas can be and how inspir- ing minds work. Markku Markkula, the recently elected President of the EU Commit- tee of the Regions, was the motor behind this book, and his idea of documenting the successes, challenges and practices of Espoo Innovation Garden quickly gained momentum, and attracted the attention of a growing group of innovators in Finland and abroad. Fuelled by the shared understanding that smaller- and larger-scale in- novations are happening all around us, every day, the seeds of Espoo’s innovation ecosystem described in this book have eventually grown to encompass an entire community of innovation professionals, all targeting shared goals with both indi- vidual contributions and common efforts. What we witnessed in Espoo was the beginning of an innovation ecosystem, and we can read about it here. One of its concrete results is in our hands now, and of course the full story is still unfolding, as the research and practice described here continues and is further applied, producing new outcomes which are experienced on the streets of Espoo and in the practice of organizations throughout Finland, Europe and beyond. This is what happens when individuals and organizations with common interests and shared intent put their heads and hands together: they start to resonate, prosper and thrive, complementing each other’s capabilities, learning from one another, and driving new practice. The story of this book is a journey—from project to ecosystem, from ecosystem to innovation, from research to practice, and from research and practice to a book about how it works. It is a commendable journey, with enough lessons for innovators across Finland and Europe to inspire journeys of their own. The merit for this publication therefore goes to our authors. My heartfelt thanks to them for taking us on this journey. Pia Lappalainen Doctor of Science (Tech), M.A. Lecturer, Aalto University 8 • orchestrating regional innovation ecosystems foreword • 9 1 Foreword Two thirds of the people in Europe already live in urban areas. Global megatrends like aging, environmental concerns and urbanization call on all of us to turn these challenges into opportunities. This cannot be accomplished by one country, region, city, university or company alone; but by thinking and working together, in the spirit of benchlearning, open innovation and crowdsourcing, we can change the world. This book is a good illustration of putting this mentality into practice. The Helsinki-Uusimaa Region is among the most prosperous and growing met- ropolitan areas in Northern Europe. The region is the centre of Finland’s economic activity. Its strengths include skilled people, a research and education environment of high international quality, a versatile business landscape and the basis all these create for innovation. There is a high concentration of large companies and small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the area—both Finnish and international ones. The region’s industrial structure is extremely versatile. We have four scientific universities, seven universities

We have analysed the incidence of the intestinal and diffuse types separately, while considering subsite (cardia/non-cardia). With an extensive prospective effort we identified all incident cases of gastric adenocarcinoma (n = 1337) in a well-defined Swedish population (1.3 million) 1989–1994. Tumours were uniformly classified histologically and topographically. Subgroup-specific incidence rates were computed and modelled using multivariate logistic regression. Site-specific trends were clearly discrepant. The overall incidence of adenocarcinoma distal to the gastric cardia declined by 9% (95% confidence interval 6–12%) per year, while cardia cancer remained stable. Thus, the feared rise in cardia cancer could not be confirmed despite clear site-specific trend discrepancies.

  • Underground Resources and Master Plan in Helsinki
    0-LAND_USE: UNDERGROUND RESOURCES AND MASTER PLAN IN HELSINKI ILKKA VÄHÄAHO City of Helsinki, Real Estate Department, Geotechnical Division, P.O. Box 2202, FI-00099, Finland. E-mail: [email protected] Underground resources play an extremely important and central role in the development of the city structure of Helsinki and the adjoining areas, helping to create a more unified and eco-efficient structure. Underground planning enhances the overall economy efficiency of facilities located underground and boosts the safety of these facilities and their use. Since the 1960s, the City of Helsinki has been adept at widely utilizing the opportunities for underground construction. More than 400 premises and over 200 km of technical maintenance tunnels have already been built underground. Demand for underground space in the central city area has grown rapidly since the turn of the 21st century and at the same time the need to control construction work has increased substantially. The main focus of this paper is on sustainability issues related to urban underground space use, including contribution to an environmentally sustainable and aesthetically acceptable landscape, anticipated structural longevity, and maintaining the opportunity for urban development by future generations. The Underground Master Plan of Helsinki reserves designated space for public and private utilities in various underground areas of bedrock over the long term. The Master Plan also provides the framework for managing and controlling the city’s underground construction work, and allows suitable locations to be allocated for underground facilities. When selecting future underground resources, the survey for the Helsinki Underground Master Plan took into account their accessibility; the present and planned ground-level uses of these areas; traffic connections; land ownership; and possible recreational, landscape and environmental protection values.

  • 2015 October International Bulletin En
    www.lyceumclub.org BULLETIN Nº 47 - OCTOBER 2015 CONTENTS * Editorial by the International President * News Items * International Congress Amsterdam * News from our clubs EDITORIAL Dear Members, What wonderful and exciting Cultural Days we had in Berlin, Germany this year in May! Berlin and its inhabitants showed itself to us in absolutely the best ways – very many thanks to all of you in the Berlin Club – you did such a fantastic job. There was nearly double the number of participants as you expected – 250 instead of 150 – but everything worked out splendidly and you gave us the best of Berlin. To mention just a few special items from the program: the boat trip on the Spree, excellent sightseeing of the city, meeting Mrs. Schadt (the life companion of President Gauck) and the Parliament building, the “Reichstag”, with its marvellous view. But the highlight of the Cultural Days for me personally – and many members agreed – was the entertainment in the members' homes. It must be such a challenge to entertain so many people at home as well as take them sightseeing in the city. For two days we also held the BCI meeting with ten Federation Presidents as well as the Vice- President of the Southern Hemisphere, the Editor of the Bulletin and the Archivist. We missed the President of the Northern Hemisphere and the Presidents of Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Greece, Italy, Portugal and Russia. We discussed many interesting matters. What can we do to have more countries represented with their Presidents? Every President is expected to send her report about the situation in her Club and how the Club life is progressing – especially important when she is not present herself.

  • The Beginning of Transnational Adoption in Denmark and Norway During the 1960’S
    genealogy Article A Great Desire for Children: The Beginning of Transnational Adoption in Denmark and Norway during the 1960’s Kasper Emil Rosbjørn Eriksen Department of History and Civilization, European University Institute, 50139 Florence, Italy; [email protected] Received: 24 August 2020; Accepted: 15 October 2020; Published: 22 October 2020 Abstract: This article examines the beginning of transnational adoption in Denmark and Norway to illuminate the role of private actors and associations in Scandinavian welfare systems. Utilizing case studies of two prominent private adoption actors, Tytte Botfeldt and Torbjørn Jelstad, the article analyzes how these Nordic welfare states responded to the emergence of transnational adoption in comparison with both each other, neighboring Sweden, and the United States. This study shows that private actors and associations strongly influenced the nascent international adoption systems in these countries, by effectively promoting transnational adoption as a progressive and humanitarian form of global parenthood; while simultaneously emphasizing the responsibility of the welfare state to accommodate and alleviate childless couples’ human rights and need for children. A need that was strong enough that couples were willing to transcend legal, national, and racial borders. Ultimately, Danish and Norwegian authorities not only had to show leniency towards flagrant violations of adoption and child placement rules, but also change these so that families could fulfill their great need for children by legally adopting them from abroad. Keywords: transnational adoption; Nordic welfare state; family; race; cold war; humanitarianism; illegal adoptions 1. Introduction Much of the historical research on transnational adoption is heavily focused on America, frequently situating transnational adoption into the broader context of domestic and transracial adoptions in North America or into the history of U.S.

Westendistä haluttiin alun perin luoda erityisen korkeatasoinen huvilakaupungin ja monipuolisen urheilukeskuksen yhdistelmä, jonka urheilukeskus palvelisi koko pääkaupunkiseutua ja kansainvälistäkin kilpailutoimintaa. Vaikka suunnitelmat eivät aivan sellaisina toteutunetkaan, suunnittelijoilla oli Westendin rakentamisen vuosikymmeninä mahdollisuus luoda rakennuksia ja asuinympäristöä runsaammin taloudellisin resurssein kuin monella muulla alueella. Westend-nimen isäksi mainitaan ”aikansa snobi”, 1930-luvulla Yhdysvalloista palannut Erik H. Broman, jolla oli autoliike Helsingissä Esplanadin ja Fabianinkadun kulmassa. Broman oli Hagalundin silloisen isännän Arne Grahnin hyvä ystävä ja tennistoveri. Tuolloin – ennen Espoon kauppalan syntyä - oletettiin vielä, että alue liitettäisiin Helsinkiin, jolloin se olisi sen länsilaidalla. Ensimmäiset asutuksen jäljet alueelta löytyvät Haukilahden Kasavuorelta, jonne rakennettiin pronssikaudella (3000-4000 v sitten) kivisiä hautakumpuja. Viikingit tekivät retkiään näillekin seuduille 800-1000-luvuilla. 1100-luvula alkoi muuttoliike Ruotsista, ja nämä ihmiset

  • Otaniemi – Keilaniemi- Kaupunkisuunnittelulautakunnan
    Täydennetty palautteen perusteella 1 (10) 20.8.2013 Otaniemi – Keilaniemi: Kaupunkisuunnittelulautakunnan teesit ja jatkotoimenpiteitä ohjaavat muut linjaukset Tämä muistio ohjaa kaupunkisuunnittelun tulevien päätösten valmistelua. Muistio on laadittu lautakunnan työseminaarissa 18.4.2013 pidettyjen esitysten ja pöytätyöskentelyn perusteella. Lisäksi muistiota laaditta- essa on hyödynnetty kaupungin eri hallintoelinten aikaisempia päätöksiä, kaupunkikehitysyksikön vuonna 2012 tuottamaa Otaniemi-visiota, kaupungin muita asiakirjoja, Energizing Urban Ecosystems EUE– tutkimusohjelman tuotoksia sekä muiden toimijoiden tästä alueesta tuottamia selvityksiä ja suunnitelmia. Väliotsikot on muokattu työseminaarin teemojen perusteella. Em. Otaniemi-vision esipuheessa kaupunki toteaa, että visiotyön aikana ”on käynyt selvästi ilmi, että yhtei- sen linjan puuttuminen tai kykenemättömyys siihen sitoutumiseen nähdään suurimmiksi esteiksi innovaa- tiokeskittymän kehittymiselle”. Tämä on käynyt ilmi myös kaupunkisuunnittelussa. Vaikka eri tahot ovat yksimielisiä perustavoitteista, niin samoja haasteita käsitellään yhä uudelleen ja samat linjaukset määritel- lään moneen kertaan. Selkeä kaikkien toimijoiden yhteinen ohjelma puuttuu. Lautakunnan työseminaarin tavoitteeksi oli asetettu saada aikaan tarvittavat elementit lautakunnalle ja kau- punginhallituksen elinkeino- ja kilpailukykyjaostolle päätöksiin ja toimenpideohjelmaan, joiden avulla kye- tään yhteisin toimenpitein etenemään kaupungin tätä aluetta koskeviin strategisiin tavoitteisiin.
