The Constitutionalisation of Contract Law in Finland

This chapter discusses the constitutionalisation of Contract law in Finland and makes frequent comparative references to the other Nordic systems. It aims to describe how Constitutional law has gradually started to influence Contract law. Moreover, the analysis seeks to predict some key future developments concerning Constitutional Contract law in Finland. This chapter illustrates how relevant constitutional actors consider these two areas of law and how these actors may sometimes collide because of key doctrines and the constitutional structure. It is concluded that references to Constitutional and Human rights law are not going to replace traditional Contract law argumentation. In most cases, nevertheless, Constitutional and Human rights law offer a useful means to clarify and modify the arguments used in traditional Contract law reasoning. The authors expect growing significance and legal relevance of the relationship between Constitutional law and Contract law.Peer reviewe

Water-rock interaction and sorption of redox-sensitive elements : experiments on olivine and uranium

The formation of alteration products on the surface of high-FeO olivine was studied by secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) and the interaction of U(VI) (i) during water-rock interaction and (ii) with preformed alteration products at 20. 120 and 180 degrees C applying selective leaching methods. Uranium sorption was associated with Fe(III)-rich secondary products undergoing transitions from loosely to more strongly bound states with increasing temperature and time
