Miten saa- melainen kouluhistoria näyttäytyy uudemmassa ajassa? Millainen asema saamelaisten opetuksella on ollut suomalaisessa koululaitoksessa? Kasvatuksen historian tutkimuksia julkaistaan Suomessa paljon, mutta tiedämme erittäin vähän Suomen saamelaisten kouluhistoriasta ja heidän koulukokemuksistaan. Saamelaisten kansanopetuksen ja koulunkäynnin historia Suomessa on ensimmäinen kokoava esitys siitä, millaiset saame- laisen kouluhistorian kehitysvaiheet ovat ja millainen asema saamelaisten opetuksella on suomalaisessa koululaitoksessa. Kirja tekee yhteenvetoa siitä, mitä saamelaisten kouluhistoriasta tiedetään sekä tulkitsee niitä keskusteluja ja linjauksia, joiden pohjalta saamelaisten koulutus ja saamen kielen asema ovat muotoutuneet. Artikkelikokoelma perustuu arkisto- ja lähdemateriaalityöhön sekä kouluhallinnon ja koulu- tuksen tehtävissä toimineiden henkilöiden kouluhistoriallisiin kokemuksiin. Kirja on suunnattu kaikille saamelaisten kansanopetuksen ja koulunkäynnin Kansi: Jouni Korkiasaari historian vaiheista kiinnostuneille, koulumaailmassa toimijoille, opiskelijoille, tieteentekijöille ja aiheesta kiinnostuneelle suurelle yleisölle.

Viewed from the perspective of several hundred years of history, the Arctic character and Northernness have never been recorded in the development plans or government programmes for the area that later became known as Finland in as much detail as they were in Finland’s Arctic Strategy published in 2010.

  • Finnish Swedish Infrastructure.Pdf
    The Swedish-Finnish railway bridge over Torne River in Haparanda/Tornio. The Swedish part is blue and the Finnish part is grey. Photo: Thomas Johansson Abstract North Finland and North Sweden are sparsely populated areas with rich natural resources, forests, nature as tourist industry and especially exploitable deposits. There are also plenty of activities supporting that industry in the area. Long transports pose a challenge. A driving force behind this study is the demand for raw materials on the world market and the rise in market prices which led the mining industry to invest in research in the region. This is combined with the need to regard national infrastructure development also in a European and international perspective. This study is concentrated on iron ore transports in Pajala-Kolari area because the mines, with a size comparable with the Swedish iron ore mine in Malmberget, cannot be opened without an efficient chain of logistics. The transports from and to the planned mines will also mean considerable changes to the transport patterns in the North. The mining activities will create up to 1800 new jobs in Sweden and Finland and the investments in the necessary infrastructure will add the job opportunities during the construction period. The cost benefits of the different alternatives of the whole chain of transport from mine to customer as well as the models of implementation suitable for major infrastructure construction projects, were evaluated and compared. In addition the socio-economical consequences of the mining operations and costs for the construction of infrastructure and transports were assessed. The result is thus based on several technical and economical sub-surveys made during this study as background studies.

  • Tvisten Om Ett Laxfiske I Torne Socken På 1500-Talet
    1 Tvisten om ett laxfiske i Torne socken på 1500-talet Henrik Larsson i Vojakkala mot Lasse Olssons i Pörtesnäs anförvanter Per-Olof Snell Det rika laxfisket i Torne älv beskrivs av Olaus Magnus som sommaren 1519 besökte Torne socken. Han skriver sålunda: Knappast någonstädes i hela Europa finner man ett rikare laxfiske än i Bottniska havet upp emot Lappland [..] det är en skön syn att här se laxarna, likt krigare i glimmande vapenskrud, mitt i solgasset gå upp från havet mot strömmen, helst då de följa efter varandra i så stor mängd, att även vattnet högst uppe i bergen får byte till övers för dem, som fiska där [..] Jag har ju sjelv på Bottens kust längst i norr nära Torneå vid tiden för sommarsolståndet sett, hur man fångade och drog upp ur vattnet en så stor mängd lax, att de starkaste nät brusto under tyngden. Liggande på en smal landremsa omgiven av älvens två armar, har Olaus Magnus placerat Tornö där marknadsplatsen finns, och på Björkön står sockenkyrkan. Fiskare drar in ett notvarp fullt med fisk och på stränderna ligger laxtunnor och travar av fisk - Berenfisk och finska gäddor - som fångats i lappmarken och vid Västerhavet innan de av birkarlarna fraktats till Torne för att säljas.1 Olaus Magnus teckning antyder att kolkfiske vid denna tid bedrevs vid Suensaari. Kolkdragning utfördes dels med notvarp mitt i älven men också med strandnot. Även karsinafiske benämns tidvis kolkfiske då karsinan avfiskas med not och 1 Berenfisk avser torkad fisk från Berenshavet – del av Norra Ishavet – eller Västerhavet som det också benämndes.

River discharge was high and cold and the fish ascended the rivers rapidly, which also somewhat impaired the coastal fisheries because of the short duration of the run. No conclusive data yet on commercial catch in the sea, but coastal fisheries appear to have done well. They normally catch fish in the 4-8 kg size range. With the ban on drift netting it is assumed that more and bigger fish will be caught next year. Sport fishing in Torne, Kalix and Byske Rivers are already at a record high.

  • Selecting the Best Probability Distribution for At-Site Flood
    Research Article Selecting the best probability distribution for at‑site food frequency analysis; a study of Torne River Mahmood Ul Hassan1 · Omar Hayat2 · Zahra Noreen3 Received: 26 May 2019 / Accepted: 29 October 2019 / Published online: 18 November 2019 © The Author(s) 2019 OPEN Abstract At-site food frequency analysis is a direct method of estimation of food frequency at a particular site. The appropri- ate selection of probability distribution and a parameter estimation method are important for at-site food frequency analysis. Generalized extreme value, three-parameter log-normal, generalized logistic, Pearson type-III and Gumbel distributions have been considered to describe the annual maximum steam fow at fve gauging sites of Torne River in Sweden. To estimate the parameters of distributions, maximum likelihood estimation and L-moments methods are used. The performance of these distributions is assessed based on goodness-of-ft tests and accuracy measures. At most sites, the best-ftted distributions are with LM estimation method. Finally, the most suitable distribution at each site is used to predict the maximum food magnitude for diferent return periods. Keywords Flood frequency analysis · L-moments · Maximum likelihood estimation 1 Introduction insurance studies, planning of food management and rescue operations. We come across a number of methods Floods are natural hazards and cause extreme damages which are available in the literature for food magnitude throughout the world. The main reasons of floods are estimation, but at-site food frequency analysis remains extreme rainfall, ice and snow melting, dam breakage the most direct method of estimation of food frequency and the lack of capacity of the river watercourse to con- at a particular site.
