Hyvät, pahat ja rumat maallikkoasioitsijat: Mielikuvat oikeudellisen tiedon haltijoista autonomian ajan Suomessa

Tieto ei sinänsä yleensä ole hyvää tai pahaa. Tieto on kuitenkin valtaa, eikä oikeudellinen tieto ole tästä poikkeus. Oikeudellinen tietotaito oli rahanarvoista ennen ja nyt, ja siitä saattoi olla merkittävää hyötyä henkilölle itselleen, mutta myös hänen yhteisölleen ja perheelleen kulttuurisena pääomana. Nykyään oikeudellista työtä Suomessa tekevät ennen kaikkea yliopistokoulutetut juristit. Näin ei ole ollut aina. Maassamme on perinteisesti hankittu oikeudellista tietotaitoa käytännön toiminnan kautta, vaikka yliopistotutkinnoista onkin 1900-luvun kuluessa tullut lähes yksinomainen väylä oikeudellisiin ammatteihin

Marrying Off Sons and Daughters: Attitudes towards the Consent of Parents and Guardians in Early Modern Sweden

Curate Samuel Josephi Lithovius of Limingå (Liminka) in Ostrobothnia was one of the six representatives of the clergy of the diocese of Åbo (Turku) at the diet of Stockholm in 1647. At the diet, however, he was accused by his fellow clergymen of having performed an irregular solemnization (på oordentligit wijs - - hadhe sammanwigdt) at the manor of Åhrsta outside the city of Stockholm. By doing this, he had usurped the authority of another priest and ‘confirmed the madness (galenskap) and disorder with which the parties had commenced their marriage’ for a sum of money. By his actions, he had compromised the whole estate (uppålagdt heela ministerio - - een elack notam).Curate Samuel Josephi Lithovius of Limingå (Liminka) in Ostrobothnia was one of the six representatives of the clergy of the diocese of Åbo (Turku) at the diet of Stockholm in 1647.

High temperature oxidation of metal, alloy and cermet powders in HVOF spraying process

In thermal spraying, the coatings, alloys and metals oxidise during the spraying process. Oxidation often results in a decrease in the mechanical and corrosion properties of the coating. In this study, oxidation of HVOF coatings is examined. In the beginning of the study, the HVOF spraying process is analysed, including the combustion process, gas temperature, oxygen concentration, gas velocity, and gas momentum. Temperature and velocity of the spray particles are measured. Thermodynamic and kinetic equations of metal oxidation are introduced. In the experimental part of the work, calculations and coating experiments were carried out. Thermodynamic calculations of metal oxidation were done in the HVOF spray gun environment using different fuel/oxygen ratios, fuel quality and metals. The metal oxidation calculations were performed with HSC thermodynamic software. The thermodynamic calculations showed that Ni and Co can be sprayed without any oxidation in the HVOF gun nozzle whereas Cr, Ti, Al and Mg are always oxidised. No significant differences were found in the oxidizing potential of fuels such as H2 and kerosene. In the spraying experiments, oxidation of WC-Co17 and NiCr80/20 coatings was studied. It was shown experimentally that the short process dwell time does not enable coatings to oxidise completely. It was also found that spray powder oxidation occurs in three steps. First, primarily in the HVOF gun nozzle, second, to a small extent in the plume and third, hardly at all on the surface being coated. The thermodynamic calculations, reaction kinetics and experimental work showed that oxidation of spray powder is a complex phenomenon involving selective and volatile oxidation, and formation of solid oxide. Oxidation of the coating is strongly related to the temperature of the particles and combustion gas. Oxidation of the spray powder can take place in solid or molten state. Experimental work showed that the oxidation processes in the HVOF spray process can not be completely prevented, but can be controlled. The degree of oxidation is reduced by lowering the temperature of the flame, by using a higher gas velocity and density, and employing effective substrate cooling.reviewe

Particularisme juridique et développements communs (Moyen-Âge–Temps modernes): Une perspective suédoise

This article discusses some key features of the medieval and early modern Swedish legal culture from a comparative European perspective. These key traits include an early codification of (nation-wide) law, the predominance of written law and a reliance on laymen as judges rather than university-trained lawyers. In fact, these became cornerstones of a national legal historical identity in early modern and modern Sweden and Finland. Finally, a comparative approach is considered indispensable in order to analyse particularisms and common developments in legal history.</p
