Studies on the topic have been conducted by the govern- mental and local institutions, but most of the information is growing old and obsolete. Therefore, a more modern study on the topic is required. The objective of the present study was to assess the feasibility of the railway connection with as up-to-date information as possible. The aim was to determine the basis and groundwork for a further study on the topic as well as discuss the requirements and appli- cations required in the design and development of a possible future railway connection. The study relied on more recent and industry-based information on the implementation of such a project. This included a thorough search and analysis of publications and other sources in Finnish and European as well as selectively other governmental databases in or- der to compare and assess what was relevant and noteworthy for the study. While search- ing for the information, also the possible future applications had to be taken into consider- ation.

CRIMES OF DESPERATION: POVERTY-RELATED FILICIDES 1810-1860 Anu Koskivirta University of]yvaskyla ABSTRACT Using Finnish upper court records as a source, this article is concerned with paren­ tal child homicides, newborn infanticides excluded, committed in Finland in the period 1810 to 1860. It focuses on the development in the rate and geographical dis­ tribution of these crimes, as well as the social and gendered distribution of the per­ petrators. This information forms the basis for analyzing the connection between the motivation for the crime and the pauperization that culminated in these decades as a result of a rapid population growth, which manifested itself in an increase in the landless agrarian proletariat. Dire economic distress over subsistence was a motive for over a half of all filicides.

Finland is the country richest in waters and more of the richest in islands in Europe. We boast 76,000 islands with an area of 0.5 hectares or more, 56,000 lakes with an area of one hectare or more, 36,800 kilome- tres of river bed wider than fi ve metres and 336,000 kilometres of shore- eemeli / peltonen vAStAvAlo line. Every Finnish municipality has waters, and most contain islands. The number of islands with either permanent or part-time inhabitants amounts to around 20,000. Every island, lake and river has its place in the hearts of Finns. This brochure describes these unique riches. Its multitude of islands and waters makes the Finnish landscape frag- mented, creating extra costs for the economy, the State and local author- ities, but it is also an incomparable resource. Our islands, seas, lakes, riv- ers and shores are excellent regional assets in a world that thrives increas- ingly on producing unique experiences. Island municipalities and part- island municipalities boast a large range of sources of livelihood, although structural changes have decreased the number of jobs over the years.
