155 K 98 - 155 GH 52 APU | Will the Finnish artillery rise again? We are investigating the 155 K 98 (155 GH 52 APU), the history of the Finnish artillery development adventure, and its future. Why did Finland build up a high-tech artillery industry? Why have not the Finnish gun-howitzers been preferred in the international market? Is this assumption correct? Why did Finland acquire a relatively small number of its own gun-howitzers Is there a new chance for the 155 K 98?

💥 Countdown to the inaugural Nordic Democracy Forum 2024 💥 We are now only two weeks away from our inaugural Nordic Democracy Forum in Stockholm on November 20th-21st. And we look forward to see our more than 200 participants, where we will share two interesting and informative days together.   Our mission is to pave the way forward for Nordic cooperation and democracy with partners in municipalities, government, civil society, research and tech companies.   Safeguarding democracy The importance of discussions on democracy are only underlined by the current global tensions. New and unprecedented threats today pose profound challenges to our politics, our institutions, and our way of life. Conflict in Europe and in the Middle East, a proliferation of digital harms from dis- and misinformation to increasing polarization, to tense elections as just witnessed in the US. Thus the need for concrete measures to safeguard democracy is only becoming more important and this is what we aim to develop together at the Nordic Democracy Forum 2024. #Democracyforum #NordicDForum24

This E24 initiative will provide readers with more in-depth analyses 📰💡 As of September 1st, E24.no has launched a dedicated commentary department, led by political editor Torbjørn Røe Isaksen. The new team, featuring experienced commentators like Sindre Heyerdahl, Johann D. Sundberg and Ina Vedde-Fjærestad, is committed to delivering sharper, more in-depth analyses on national and global economic developments. "It’s more important than ever to provide readers with thorough analyses that put events in a broader context," says Røe Isaksen. The spread of misinformation and fake news is increasing — making the news landscape fragmented and difficult for users. By placing news in a broader context, analyses through commentary journalism can help enhance the public’s understanding of complex issues. What are your thoughts on the role of commentary journalism in today’s media landscape? 🤔 🔗 Find the link to the full story in bio. #newsmedia #commentary #journalism #fakenews #Schibsted #media

Day One at the Radical Health Festival Helsinki was a huge success 🎉 Key takeaways from the satellite events with the Finnish Ministry of Social Affairs and Health (Sosiaali- ja terveysministeriö) and Welcoming Act of the festival led by Päivi Sillanaukee, Special Envoy for Health and Well-being: 💡 Finland is a leader in secondary health data use, enabled by strong ecosystem for collaboration and public-private partnerships, and is a model for other European countries. Happy 5th birthday to Findata – Sosiaali- ja terveysalan tietolupaviranomainen | Social and Health Data Permit Authority, which has enabled so much progress in this area! 💡 The Bavarian State Ministry of Health, Care and Prevention (Bayerisches Staatsministerium für Gesundheit, Pflege und Prävention) minister Judith Gerlach presented exciting predictive, preventive, personalized, and participatory (P4) medicine project like DigiMed Bayern and digiOnko. EHDS will enable scaling these up to Germany-wide and EU level, using principles that Finland has implemented. She also sees opportunities for collaborations at country- and company-level, like Finland’s innovative anonymization of health data. 💡 Dr. Georg Münzenrieder points out that citizens of European countries expect governments to do cross-border collaboration: they live across borders, and they expect their data to do that as well. The European Health Data Space legislation will make a big impact in this area, as well as increasing data for secondary use purposes like rare disease research. 💡 Ann Aerts elegantly explained the utility of evidence-based interventions in AI4HealthyCities and CARDIO4Cities projects of the Novartis Foundation — but how do we keep AI from learning siloed health data? VEIL.AI’s next-generation anonymization enabling cross-border data exchange could be a piece in the puzzle here. Our overall takeaway is that reuse of healthcare data for research and innovation must become default practice, from the level of digital twins of patients to evidence-based interventions at the city and country-wide level. Doing so in a way that respects the privacy of patients will require cutting-edge technology like VEIL.AI’s next-generation anonymization. Looking forward to another two days of radical ideas for the future of health and care! #RadicalHealth #RadicalHealthFestival #datasharing #datacollaboration #dataprivacy #healthtech #digitalhealth #secondaryuse #sensitivedata #healthdata #GDPR #EHDS #Helsinki

This week, Direktoratet for strålevern og atomsikkerhet (DSA) released a report providing insights into into the forecasts and capacity needs in #Norway for managing #radioactivewaste up to the year 2100 ☢ The report assesses the development of radioactive waste volumes from 2011 to 2022 and provides projections until 2100, covering various sectors such as nuclear operations, medical use, research, and industry 🏭 The report delivers a blunt conclusion, emphasizing the critical need for new storage solutions, as the cessation of radioactive waste disposal at #KLDRA has left buisnesses without options for disposing their radioactive waste. There is a significant risk that these challenges will spread to more businesses and industries until a storage or disposal solution is in place 🛢 Read the full report (in Norwegian) for a deeper understanding of how Norway plans to manage radioactive waste up to 2100 👇🏼 #nuclearsecurity #sustainability #wastemanagement #cbrne

As everything goes digital, some people may find it hard to use online services. It's important to help everyone join in the digital world. 🌐In May, I’ll be in Stockholm for the conference on Digital Inclusion in the Nordic-Baltic Region organized by Nordregio. It’s crucial that we share knowledge across these regions to foster collaboration and drive progress in digital inclusion. 🇫🇴At Talgildu Føroyar, we embrace an opt-in approach to digitalization, with over 80% of the eligible population using the digital ID, Samleikin. I’m proud to be part of a team where we prioritize inclusivity and accessibility. However, there is more to do, and we must continue to convey the ongoing effort required in the field of digital inclusion. Let’s continue bridging the digital divide together💪 #Inclusivity #Accessibility #Digitalization #Digitalinclusion

Wouldn't want to encourage you to join propaganda events either. 🆖 Different story if you are e.g. an investigative journalist. Sometimes the distinction between indoctrination and propaganda is also unclear. 😶‍🌫️ UM.fi gives quite safe preinfo. Criticism is just multifold on our part hence Niinistö® isn't immune for us either. As a testament of Tarja Cronberg's efforts as a partisan chairwoman she later progressed to the European Parliament. 💚 The news doesn't reveal how well pre-equipped Cronberg was for the Kaliningrad Region Development Corporation event in advance. The news only states she's had disagreements with Ville Niinistö but that's not a bad thing necessarily on its own. Have waited for Finns to recognize the 𝙀𝙐 𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙥𝙖𝙜𝙖𝙣𝙙𝙖 about raw pay gap. Sofia Virta is on her own part supporting pay-gap propaganda without almost any repercussions. 🥁 In contrast to that, Cronberg hasn't done much damage here unlike Virta who already has. #Virtapropaganda Virta and Niinistö aren't better than Cronberg who has had enough obstacles even without their holier-than-thou act.

👐 Co-operation is key to Finland’s critical communications success. When Finland has been named the happiest country in the world again, what became abundantly clear is that the Finnish society operates under a heightened level of trust. 💡 Happiness is not about just smiles and laughter for Finland, more so a deep sense of the satisfaction that people have with their lives in the country. Trust forms the basis of a deep sense of togetherness among the population of 5.5 million people, which can be seen across all aspects of society. 💡 From a business standpoint, many industries in Finland are recognised for their strong sense of community characterised by open information sharing and mutual support. In a turbulent world, this community of trust represents a solid foundation upon which to build critical communications. 💡 Did you know that whether they’re with the police, fire brigade, emergency medical team, armed forces or other critical infrastructure, all Finnish public safety officials have access to the same public safety network? Operating under the same system of communications saves time and improves situational awareness, resulting in more efficient decision-making and fewer lives lost.
