Road policing is an important tool used to modify road user behaviour. While other theories, such as deterrence theory, are significant in road policing, there may be a role for using procedural justice as a framework to improve outcomes in common police citizen interactions such as traffic law enforcement. This study, using a sample of 237 young novice drivers, considered how the four elements of procedural justice (voice, neutrality, respect and trustworthiness) were perceived in relation to two forms of speed enforcement: point-to-point (or average) speed and mobile speed cameras. Only neutrality was related to both speed camera types suggesting that it may be possible to influence behaviour by emphasising one or more elements, rather than using all components of procedural justice. This study is important as it indicates that including at least some elements of procedural justice in more automated policing encounters can encourage citizen compliance.

Jac. Ahrenberg and Patrimony Restoration Plans for Viipuri and Turku Castles at the End of the 19th Century This dissertation examines the unrealized restoration plans for two castles in the Grand Duchy of Finland one located at Viipuri (Vyborg, nowadays in Russia), the other at Turku (in Swedish, Åbo) during the last decades of the 19th century. Both castles were used as prisons, barracks and warehouses. From the middle of the 19th century on, their restoration and transformation into museums and "national monuments" were demanded in the newspapers. The prison reform in the 1860s stimulated the documentation and debate concerning their future, but it was only at the beginning of the 1880s when their restoration became an official state-run project. The undertaking was carried out by Johan Jacob (Jac.) Ahrenberg (1847 1914), architect of the National Board of Public Buildings. By combining written sources with drawings and photographs, this dissertation examines the restoration projects, the two castles' significance and the ways in which they were investigated by scholars. The plans are analyzed in connection with restoration practices in France and Sweden and in the context of contemporary discussions concerning national art and patrimony. The thesis argues that these former castles of the Swedish crown were used to manifest the western roots of Finnish law and order, the lineage of power and the capacity of the nation to defend itself. However, because of their symbolism, their restoration became a politically delicate question concerning the role of the Swedish heritage in Finland's nation-building process. According to Jac. Ahrenberg's plans, the two castles were to be restored to their assumed appearance at the time of the Vasa dynasty. Consequently, the structures would have resembled castles in Sweden. It is suggested that one aim of the restoration plans was to transform the two buildings into monuments testifying to the common history of Sweden and Finland. They were meant to consolidate the Swedish basis of Finnish culture and autonomy and thus to secure them against the threatening implications of Russian imperialism. It seems that along with the changing ideals of architectural restoration and the need for an original Finnish architectural heritage, the political connotations associated with the castles were one reason why Jac. Ahrenberg's restoration plans were never realized.

Women’s contribution to abstract art in the interwar period is a subject that, to date, has received very little attention. In this article we deal with the untold story of the participation of women artists in Abstraction-Création, the foremost international group dedicated to abstract art in the 1930s. Founded in Paris in 1931, the group took on the work of two previous collectives to become a platform for the dissemination and promotion of abstract art and consisted of around a hundred members. Twelve of these were women, whose writings and works were published in the group’s annual magazine, abstraction creátion art non figuratif (1932-1936), and who participated in a number of the group’s exhibitions. Compared to what had occurred in previous groups, the participation of women, although reduced in number, was comparable to that of the male artists and being members of the group had a generally positive impact on the women’s careers. However, all this came at the expense of relinquishing any gender specificity in their work and the public presentation of it, and demonstrates that the normalization of women’s contributions to the avant-garde could only be brought about alongside a questioning of the more dogmatic views of modernity.

Le présent essai est l'aboutissement d'une réflexion sur la place qu'occupe le libre accès dans la communauté scientifique. Bien que le libre accès ne constitue pas en soi une nouveauté, il occupe une place relativement marginale. L'auteur s'est d'abord penché sur l'évolution du libre accès dans le monde avant d'entreprendre une recherche terrain a l'Université de Sherbrooke pour mesurer l'intérêt et les connaissances de la communauté de recherche. Au terme de cette recherche, l'auteur a produit une analyse à partir des données qu'il a récoltées. Des recommandations ont par la suite été produites à l'intention de la direction du Service des bibliothèques et archives (SBA) dans le but de promouvoir le libre accès, porteur selon l'auteur d'économies potentielles pour les universités et d'une plus grande accessibilité au savoir autant pour les chercheurs que pour le grand public. Voici un bref aperçu desdites recommandations: Recommandation 1: Mettre sur pied une séance d'information et une brochure présentant le libre accès aux professeurs et aux étudiants de l'Université de Sherbrooke. Recommandation 2: Encourager les facultés à faire en sorte que soient déposés sur Savoirs UdeS les articles publiés par les professeurs. Recommandation 3: Entamer un dialogue personnalise avec les représentants de l'ensemble des facultés de l'Université de Sherbrooke pour établir la voie verte au libre accès. Recommandation 4: Assurer la synergie des dépôts institutionnels des universités québécoises. Recommandation 5: Assurer la défense des intérêts universitaires par un réseautage auprès des organismes subventionnaires.
