Pietarila, who is from Tuusula, initially dreamed of pilot training in the Defence Forces. However, after being eliminated in the final stages of the multiphase application process, he had to look for another form of service to his liking. - After giving up on a pilot's career, I hoped to join the artillery, because in the beginning it didn't seem to be too demanding a service location, Pietarila says. In January 2016, it was Pietarila's turn to enter the Karelia Artillery Regiment. Although his motivation for military service had decreased temporarily after being eliminated from pilot training, it rose again already during the basic training phase. Soon, even leadership training started to feel like a self-evident

  • Reappearance of Influenza B/Victoria/2/87-Lineage Viruses
    Epidemiol. Infect. (2005), 133, 263–271. f 2004 Cambridge University Press DOI: 10.1017/S0950268804003462 Printed in the United Kingdom Reappearance of influenza B/Victoria/2/87-lineage viruses: epidemic activity, genetic diversity and vaccination efficacy in the Finnish Defence Forces N. IKONEN 1,R.PYHA¨LA¨1*, T. AXELIN 2, M. KLEEMOLA1 AND H. KORPELA2 1 National Public Health Institute, Helsinki, Finland 2 Research Institute of Military Medicine, Central Military Hospital, Helsinki, Finland (Accepted 2 November 2004) SUMMARY A new B/Shangdong/7/97-like influenza virus (Victoria/2/87 lineage) predominated during the 2002/2003 epidemic season in Finland and was estimated to account for 2246 of the 13 496 feverish upper respiratory tract infections (URIs) occurring among conscripts in the Finnish army. The incidence (1716/10 000 conscripts) was indicative of moderate epidemic activity at most. Analysis of the cross-reactive antibodies induced in 1988 suggests that the basis of the protection was probably established during the childhood of the conscripts. Vaccination in autumn 2002 prevented 42% of the URIs during the influenza B outbreak and 71% (95% CI 42–85) of infections interpreted as influenza B. Despite the low genetic variability of the Shangdong/7/97- like viruses, breakages of a potential glycosylation site in haemagglutinin (HA1, position 197) were frequent; their biological significance is discussed. The Shangdong/7/97-like strains were HA1/NA reassortants, as were also the less abundant strains that for HA1 belonged to the B/Yamagata/16/88 lineage. A further reassortment, which probably emerged during the outbreak in one of the garrisons, supports our hypothesis that circumstances in these settings may especially favour the emergence of diversity by reassortment.

Doctoral theses – as many other outputs – are too often regarded solely as accomplishments of individual authors, their thinking and hard work. This has been one of the lessons that I have, hopefully, learned during the demanding PhD process: relying on one’s own thoughts is much easier when balanced by actively welcoming and tapping into those of others. There are many who have shared their thoughts with me during my doctoral studies – be that face-to-face or through their work – and many in whose thoughts I know I have been.
