Sustainable Development Action – the Nordic Way

The 2030 Agenda, adopted by the UN General Assembly in September 2015, outlines an ambitious and universal plan of action for people, planet and prosperity as it seeks to strengthen universal peace and freedom. This report presents national and Nordic action on Agenda 2030 with the aim to inform and support the Nordic Council of Ministers in formulating a new Nordic Sustainable Development Programme. All Nordic countries are engaged and strongly committed to implementing Agenda 2030 and there is a broad societal interest in joint Nordic action. The existing Nordic Strategy for Sustainable Development and several other key initiatives within Nordic cooperation already contribute to the goals of Agenda 2030. A new Nordic Sustainable Development Programme can build upon a strong foundation and add further value to the national and international work done by the Nordic countries.

Providing a multifaceted view of modern Finland, this book describes its history, culture, language, geography, natural history and the mythology of early peoples. Topics include Fenno-Scandia inhabitants and their environment, traditional naturalism and modern environmentalism, and the salient features of "Finnishness," including an analysis of the Finnish educational system and gender equality. Finland's art, architecture and music are highlighted, along with its peace-keeping missions worldwide. The country's several ethnic groups and their languages are discussed--the Saami, Finns, Finland-Swedes, Russian-speaking peoples, Jews and Gypsies. The author examines Finland's late but rapid development in commerce and industry, with a focus on the history of Nokia Corporation, which grew from a 19th-century manufacturer of pulpwood and rubber boots to a 21st-century international digital communications company.

A Field Guide to Melancholy

A depressive illness or a passing feeling? Mental detachment or a precursor to genius? Melancholy is a critical part of what it is to be human, yet everything from Prozac to self help psychology books seems intent on removing all signs of sadness, depression, or, quite simply, low moods from contemporary existence. Complex and contradictory, melancholy's presence weaves through the histories of both science and art. A Field Guide to Melancholy surveys this ambivalent concept and takes a journey through its articulation in a variety of languages, from the Russian toska of Pushkin's Eugene Onegin, to kaiho - which is expressed in the dancing of the Finnish tango. Melancholy is found in the his...

Työn luonne on muuttunut pysyvästi. Sekä yksilöiden että organisaatioiden on osattava hankkia tietoa, arvioida sitä yhdessä, soveltaa ja panna toimeksi. On opittava tekemällä ja korjattava lennossa yhä avoimemmin ja läpinäkyvämmin sosiaalisten verkostojen nähden. On uskallettava jakaa keskeneräisiä ajatuksia, jotta ne voivat jalostua. Työyhteisö on parhaimmillaan globaali asiantuntijoiden verkosto, jossa vain osalla on sama työnantaja. Kilpailevan yrityksen työntekijä voi olla paras sparraaja ja apu omassa työssä. Sidosryhmät arvioivat onnistumisia ja virheitä julkisesti ja säälimättömästi. Työ on henkisesti kuormittavampaa kuin koskaan. Työ voi olla myös hauskempaa ja palkitsevampaa kuin koskaan. Kuinka olla avoin -kirjassa kerrotaan, miksi ja miten työntekijät voivat kehittää tieto- ja viestintätekniikkataitojaan ja ryhtyä toimimaan avoimissa globaaleissa digitaalisissa verkostoissa. Lukuisiin haastatteluihin perustuva kirja tarjoaa runsaasti käytännön esimerkkejä ja ohjeita omien työskentelytapojen muuttamiseksi ja organisaation kahleiden murtamiseksi.
