International teacher training within the Baltic Sea Project, supported by UNESCOs Participation Programme 1998-1999, took place in Finland (1998), Lithuania (1999) and in Latvia (1999). The meetings served as forum for discussi- ons among specialists, students and teachers who contributed with their experiences and ideas. © The Danish Ministry of education in co-operation with UNESCO Financial support from the European Commission First edition, 2000 ISBN 87-987489-1-2 Editor: Birthe Zimmermann, General co-ordinator of the Baltic Sea Project, Denmark, in co-operation with an Editorial group consisting of: Per Werge, Denmark Risto Hamari, Leena-Riitta Salminen & Jarkko Suvikas, Finland Velga Kakse, Loreta Urtane & Andris Urtans, Latvia Ingvar Lennerstedt & Jan-Erik Wallden, Sweden Language corrections: Robert Quick, GB Main illustrator: Zane Darzina, Latvia Cover photo: Student Rickard Nielsson, Polhemskolan, Lund, Sweden in “Kick method” action.

Tämä seikka on usein unohdettu suomalaisissa ruumishautauksissa, joista löytyy eläinluita. Vain vainajan yhteydestä löytyneille eläintenluille on pohdittu rituaalisia merkityksiä. Haudan täytemaasta, joka on osa hautausta, löytyneet eläintenluut on aikaisemmassa tutkimuksessa jätetty usein huomioimatta. Tässä opinnäytteessä pohditaan eläinluiden funktiota ja tulkintamalleja hautauksissa. Lähtökohtana on kuusi eriaikaista kohdetta. Myöhäiseen rautakauteen (ja mahdollisesti keskiaikaan) sijoittuva Euran Luistarin kohde sijaitsee länsirannikolla ja keskiaikainen kyläkalmisto Finno sijaitsee Espoossa, etelärannikolla. Lisäksi aineistossa on kaksi kaupunkikohdetta Turku ja Porvoo, joista Turusta tutkittava kalmisto ajoittuu myöhäiskeskiaikaan ja uuden ajan taitteeseen ja Porvoo 1700-luvulle. Itä-Suomesta mukana

  • Sediment Yields and Denudation Rates in Poland
    Erosion and Sediment Yield: Global and Regional Perspectives (Proceedings of the Exeter Symposium, July 1996). IAHS Publ. no. 236, 1996. 133 Sediment yields and denudation rates in Poland JAN BRAÑSKI Research and Design Office HYDROS, ul. Somleñskiego 16 B m.58, 01 698 Warsaw, Poland KAZIMIERZ BANASIK Department of Hydraulic Structures, Warsaw Agricultural University SGGW, ul. Nowoursynowska 166, 02-787 Warsaw, Poland Abstract In Poland, there are many 40-year records of suspended sedi­ ment transport. These records have been used to estimate the intensity of denudation processes over the territory of Poland. The denudation index, expressed in t km’2 year’1, was calculated for many river basins, using data from 50 river gauging stations. The results are presented in the form of maps of denudation rates over the territory of Poland for four decades during the period 1951-1990. INTRODUCTION One of the first studies of the intensity of denudation processes in the Vistula river basin was carried out by Jarocki (1957). Based on hydrological measurements at the Tczew gauge during the period 1946-1953, he concluded that the average value of the denuda­ tion index (i.e. total sediment yield/river basin area) was 81 km’2 year’1. The first maps of the spatial differentiation of the denudation index across Poland were produced indirectly, by using a map of potential soil erosion published by Reniger (1959). Two versions of such maps were produced using this approach by Dçbski (1959) and Skibinski (1959). The results of Skibinski’s investigation, which dealt only with suspended sediment, in contrast to Dçbski’s investigation which also included bed load, showed considerable spatial differentiation of the denudation index, particularly in the zone of the south Polish uplands, with values ranging from ca 10 to 160 t km"2 year’1.

Niemi TURUN YLIOPISTO Historian laitos/Humanistinen tiedekunta NIEMI, SEIJA A.: Suomalaisen metsäluonnon lukemisen historiaa - ihmisen ja koivun muuttuva suhde Suomessa 1730-luvulta 1930-luvulle Lisensiaatintutkimus, 198 s. Suomen historia Maaliskuu 2005 Tutkimus on perustutkimus suomalaisten metsäluonnon lukutaidosta ja käsityksistä koivusta ja sen käytöstä kahdensadan vuoden ajalta. Valitun ajanjakson sisällä on ollut mahdollista havaita sekä perinteisen maanviljelyajan että teollisen ajan metsäluonnon lukutaidon yhtäläisyydet ja erot. Yhteistä koko jaksolle on ollut huoli metsien riittävyydestä ja oikeasta hoidosta. Eroja on ollut metsänkäyttötavoissa perinteisen luontaistalouden muututtua teollisuuden ajan kulutusyhteiskunnaksi. Tutkimuksen pääkysymykset ovat:1) Miten suomalaisten metsäluonnon lukutaito ja käsitykset koivusta ja sen resursseista ovat muuttuneet 1730-luvulta 1930-luvulle ja 2) mitkä seikat ovat näihin muutoksiin vaikuttaneet? Tutkimuksen esimerkkinä metsäluonnon lukemisesta on suomalaisten suhde koivuun. Tutki- muksessa tarkastellaan ympäristön lukutaidon avulla, miten ihminen ymmärtää ja tulkitsee ympäristöään tässä tutkimuksessa metsäluontoa. Ympäristön lukutaito on kokonaisvaltaista luonnon ymmärtämistä, tulkitsemista ja määrittelemistä huomioiden, elämysten, arvojen, asenteiden ja tiedon avulla. Taidon perustana

Ennusteessa oletetaan, ettei radonin torjuntaan mitenkaan varauduta rakennusvaiheessa. Kymen laanin radonennustetta laadittaessa kaytettiin hyvaksi noin 5900 pientalon radonmittaustuloksia. Mittauskohteista tiedettiin niiden tarkka sijainti kartalle merkittyna, rakennuspaikan maapera, talon valmistumisvuosi ja perustamistapa. Naiden tietojen ja kaytettavissa olevan geologisen tiedon perusteella Kymen laanin rakennusmaa jaettiin kolmeentoista alueeseen. Alueille arvioitiin odotettavissa ole- vat radonpitoisuudet ja enimmaisarvqjen (200, 400 ja 800 Bq/m3) ylitysprosentit. Ennusteen radonpitoisuudet ja ylitysprosentit on laskettu radonkriittisimmille perustamistavoille. Niihin kuuluvat talot, joissa on sokkelin

  • Kymenlaakson Kulttuuriympäristökartoitus 2008
    KYMENLAAKSON KULTTUURIYMPÄRISTÖKARTOITUS 2008 ANJALANKOSKI – ELIMÄKI – HAMINA – IITTI – JAALA – KOTKA – KOUVOLA – KUUSANKOSKI – MIEHIKKÄLÄ – PYHTÄÄ – VALKEALA – VIROLAHTI SAATTEEKSI Kulttuuriympäristöt ovat tärkeä osa kaupunkien ja kuntien identiteettiä. Ihminen löytää niistä juuren- sa ja tuntee siten olonsa kotoisammaksi. Ehkä myös siksi kulttuuriympäristöjen vaaliminen on tullut yhä tärkeämmäksi teemaksi yhteiskunnassa. Paljon vanhaa ja arvokasta on ehtinyt tuhoutua, mutta viime vuosikymmeninä on kuitenkin ryhdytty myös suojelemaan jäljelle jäänyttä kulttuuriperintöä. Lähtökohtana Kymenlaakson kulttuuriympäristöselvitykselle on ollut kaikki kulttuuriympäristön osa- alueet kattavan aineiston puute ja epäselvyys kohteiden tämänhetkisestä tilasta. Kymenlaakson kulttuuriympäristökartoitusta tehtäessä tavoitteena on ollut saada aikaan aineisto, joka palvelee niin kuntien kuin valtion viranomaisten sekä maakuntamuseon tarpeita. Aineistosta on haluttu tehdä helposti päivitettävä ja ajantasainen. Kaupunkien ja kuntien tarpeita silmälläpitäen tavoitteena on ollut luoda hyödyllistä materiaalia maankäytön suunnittelun, matkailun/kulttuurin ja opetuksen toimi- aloille sekä kannustaa kulttuuriympäristöohjelman laatimiseen ja siten kulttuuriympäristöjen vaalimi- seen. Valtion viranomaisia kartoitus auttaa mm. erilaisissa lupapäätöksissä ja kaavoituksen valvon- nassa sekä lausuntojen antamisessa. Sitä tullaan hyödyntämään myös Kymenlaakson museon ylläpitämän suunnitellun tietokannan päivittämisessä. Vuonna 2008 on saatettu loppuun kartoitustyö, joka
