	Kalevala: from myth to symbol — Virtual Finland
		Following the establishment in 1809 of Finland as a Grand Duchy in the Russian Empire, Finnish interest in Herder's and Porthan's ideas grew in strength, and the cultivation of a national identity became a veritable duty for many educated Finns despite the fact that most of them scarcely understood Finnish at all.
		The characters of Kalevala have their namesakes in the first names of several generations of children; the names of streets, ships, buildings, offices, shops, companies, factories, newspapers, theatres, and clubs are a permanent reminder of the need to assert the strength of one's patriotism through association with a powerful symbol.
		This symbolic association of Kalevala and Finland is yet another facet of the fusion of the national and the international that is represented so succinctly and at so many levels in Kalevala.

		These are the reasons why European districts renew their petition for financial assistance for the organizer of European Championship, starting from budget 2000.
		However this support was not budgeted by ILCA and there was confusion in Finland when exactly the budget for next year will be presented so this aid was not budgeted at all and the situation is still open.
		In that case we have to carry two membership fees one for Finland and one for ILCA which in practice means that the amount of Finnish ILCA members would collapse from ca 100 to 10-15 members.

	CDC - Domestically Acquired Campylobacter Infections in Finland
		We attempted to collect all Campylobacter isolates cultured in Finland from clinical stool samples of patients with domestically acquired infections during the seasonal peak of Campylobacter infections in 1999 and to analyze the heat-stable serotypes of C.
		The absence of case linkage between the two data sources prevents exact correlation between them; however, the number of domestic cases from the isolate collection is approximately 40% of the number of cases in NIDR for the same period.
		The higher rates cannot be explained by urban versus rural lifestyle alone since the western districts in the study included rural and urbanized areas in an approximately similar proportion as in the eastern districts.

		All hospital districts in Finland participated in this study, and the rate of domestically acquired C. jejuni infections, as measured by the number of isolates sent, was highest in several eastern hospital districts.

	Risk of myocardial infarction in relation to magnesium and calcium concentrations in drinking water
		As to Finland, who in the beginning of the l970'ies was on top regarding the prevalence of cardiovascular diseases, the ischaemic heart disease was associated by Karppanen and Neuvonen (1973) in part to the low soil magnesium and, further, to low Mg in drinking water.
		In this study we compared the prevalence of cardiovascular diseases to the magnesium and fluoride content of drinking water among 300 men living in different rural districts of Finland and who had drank the same water for several years.
		3, the percentage prevalence of all cardiovascular diseases was four times higher in the district of Juva with the average Mg-concentration of 5.8 ppm in drinking water, as compared to the CV-prevalence in the district of Laitila where the average water Mg-content was 11.0 ppm.
