Unequal poverty and equal industrialisation: Finnish wealth, 1750–1900
2018
We present the first comprehensive, long-run estimates of Finnish wealth and its distribution from 1750 to 1900. Using wealth data from 17,279 probate inventories, we show that Finland was very unequal between 1750 and 1850; the top decile owned about 90% of total wealth. This means that Finland was more unequal than the much wealthier economies Britain, France and the US, which goes against the common assumption of richer economies being more unequal. Moreover, when industrialisation took off in Finland, inequality started a downward trajectory. High inequality 1750–1850 was bottom-driven, by a large share of the population owning nothing or close to nothing of value, while economic develo…
Domestic Homicide and Emotions from the Late Nineteenth Century to the 1920s
2020
Some scholars have suggested that a significant change in homicides and interpersonal violence occurred in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. This new type of violence was characterised by strong feelings between the offender and their victim, and the change was connected to modernisation, changes in power balance between men and women, and individualism. Based on the Court of Appeal documents, we deduced that the murder of one’s spouse, father, or brother were the most prevalent homicides within families in Finland at the time. The Court documents, in conjunction with newspaper accounts, captured the trend of troubled family relationships and demonstrated that lethal family…
Time cycles of homicide in the early modern Nordic area
2020
An extensive body of criminological research has shown that criminaland violent behaviour manifests time patterns in terms of daily,weekly and annual cycles. This is consistent with criminologicalroutine activities theory. Can we generalize these patterns to historicalperiods? In this article, we draw on a recently created uniquedataset, covering the years 1608–1699 in three Nordic regions, toexplore time cycles of offending in the early modern period.Examining daily, weekly and annual cycles, we find that lethalviolence manifested strong time patterns in the early modernperiod. The role of public holidays was central especially in theperiod lasting from Christmas to Midsummer. Probing the …
Social Invisibility and Emotional Blindness
2020
The unsettling, humiliating, and often threatening experience of feeling oneself ‘invisible’ before the gazes of other people in one’s social world has obvious potential as a theme for collaborative efforts between social theorists and phenomenologists. This chapter proposes one way of approaching such an engagement, drawing in particular upon three authors who offer detailed analyses of social visibility and its potential pathologies: Axel Honneth, Frantz Fanon, and Edmund Husserl. The specific phenomenon is first be located by way of Honneth’s treatment of social invisibility as frequented by behaviour that expresses an attitude of nonrecognition towards other persons immediately present.…
Syria from afar : how journalists in Finland and Germany cover the first YouTube war
2015
Miten uutisoida kaukaista sotaa, johon on vaikea ellei mahdoton päästä paikan päälle? Miten kertoa sodasta, jonka pääasialliset tietolähteet ovat sodan eri osapuolten media-aktivistit, hallitusta tukevat viestimet ja islamistitaistelijat, jotka kaikki rummuttavat omaa versiotaan tapahtumista? Ja ennen kaikkea: miten niiden esittämät väitteet, jotka usein vielä tulevat sosiaalisen median välityksellä, voi tarkistaa? Nämä ovat kysymyksiä, jotka ovat tämän tutkielman ytimessä ja myös sen lähtökohta. Syyrian sota on ulkomaantoimittajille valtava haaste. Olin itse 13 vuotta ulkomaantoimittajana Helsingin Sanomissa, ja painin usein sen kanssa, miten voin kertoa Syyrian tapahtumista mahdollisimman…

Introduction of a novel pathway for IAA biosynthesis to rhizobia alters vech root nodule developmt
2008
We introduced into Rhizobium leguminosarum bv. viciae LPR1105 a new pathway for the biosynthesis of the auxin, indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), under the control of a stationary phase-activated promoter active both in free-liv- ing bacteria and bacteroids. The newly introduced genes are the iaaM gene from Pseudomonas savastanoi and the tms2 gene from Agrobacterium tumefaciens. Free-living bacteria harbouring the promoter-iaaMtms2 construct release into the growth medium 14-fold more IAA than the wild-type parental strain. This IAA overproducing R. l. viciae, the RD20 strain, elicits the development of vetch root nodules containing up to 60-fold more IAA than nodules infected by the wild-type str…
[Econometric model of food industry]
1993
Il s'agit d'appréhender, par une analyse économétrique, une partie des déterminants et des phénomènes de concurrence à travers les flux des échanges avec l'extérieur du secteur des industries agro-alimentaires, d'expliciter les facteurs contribuant à la formation du capital physique du secteur en cherchant les déterminants de ces investissements, et enfin de mettre en relief la capacité d'auto-financement permettant de mesurer l'étendue de l'effet de levier. Le modèle proposé comporte un déterminisme restreint de type récursif, en postulant des relations de causalité généralement non réversible entre les variables explicatives et expliquées. Le secteur des IAA est globalement en surproducti…
