From the Soviet point of view the actual substance of Soviet-Finnish relations in the second half of 1950s clearly differed from the contemporary and later public image, based on friendship and confidence rhetoric. As the polarization between the right and the left became more underlined in Finland in the latter half of the 1950s, the criticism towards the Soviet Union became stronger, and the USSR feared that this development would have influence on Finnish foreign policy. From the Soviet point of view, the security commitments of FCMA-treaty needed additional guarantees through control of Finnish domestic politics and economic relations, especially during international crises. In relation to Scandinavia, Finland was, from the Soviet point of view, the model country of friendship or neutrality policy. The influence of the Second Berlin Crisis or the Soviet-Finnish Night Frost Crisis in 1958-1959 to Soviet policy towards Scandinavia needs to be observed from this point of view. The Soviet Union used Finland as a tool, in agreement with Finnish highest political leadership, for weakening of the NATO membership of Norway and Denmark, and for maintaining Swedish non-alliance. The Finnish interest to EFTA membership in the summer of 1959, at the same time with the Scandinavian countries, seems to have caused a panic reaction in the USSR, as the Soviets feared that these economic arrangements would reverse the political advantages the country had received in Finland after the Night Frost Crisis. Together with history of events, this study observes the interaction of practical interests and ideologies, both in individuals and in decision-making organizations. The necessary social and ideological reforms in the Soviet Union after 1956 had influence both on the legitimacy of the regime, and led to contradictions in the argumentation of Soviet foreign policy. This was observed both in the own camp as well as in the West. Also, in Finland a breakthrough took place in the late 1950's: as the so-called counter reaction lost to the K-line, "a special relationship" developed with the Soviet Union. As a consequence of the Night Frost Crisis the Soviet relationship became a factor decisively defining the limits of domestic politics in Finland, a part of Finnish domestic political argumentation. Understood from this basis, finlandization is not, even from the viewpoint of international relations, a special case, but a domestic political culture formed by the relationship between a dominant state, a superpower, and a subordinate state, Finland.

Pro gradu -tutkielmani tehtävänä on selvittää näkökulmia melankoliaterapiaan Martti Lutherin lohdutuskirjeissä. Lähteinä on ollut neljä lohdutuskirjettä sekä yksi kirje, joka muistuttaa sisällöltään lohdutuskirjettä. Metodina on ollut kirjeiden tyylillis-retorinen analyysi. Aihe on kiinnostava, koska Lutherin kirjeiden ja retoriikan tutkimus on ollut vähäistä verrattuna häntä koskevaan laajaan kansainväliseen tutkimukseen. Työn lähtökohtana on ollut, että yksi kirjallisuuden tärkeimmistä tehtävistä 1500-luvulla oli erilaisten melankolisten sairauksien parantaminen. Kirjallisuuden avulla voitiin torjua hengenvaarallisia melankolisia affekteja kuten epätoivoa, pelkoa, surua ja apatiaa. Lutherin lohdutuskirjeet soveltuvat hyvin melankoliaterapian tutkimiseen, koska ne on kirjoitettu lohtua tarvitseville ihmisille. Työn tutkimuskysymykset ovat: Mitä melankolian hoitokeinoja Luther mainitsee? Missä määrin Lutherin melankoliaterapia on sopusoinnussa 1500-luvulla vallinneiden hoitokäsitysten kanssa? Miten Luther hyödyntää retoriikan ja huumorin keinoja melankoliaterapiassaan? Työn teoriaosassa selvitetään 1500-luvun ihmiskäsitystä sekä teologisesta että lääketieteellisestä näkökulmasta ja esitellään ajalle tyypillisiä humoraaliopin mukaisia melankolian hoitokeinoja. Selvitetään myös retoriikan ja melankoliaterapian suhdetta toisiinsa. Analyysiosassa pääpaino on Lutherin käyttämissä retorisissa keinoissa, mutta siinä hyödynnetään myös teoriaosan havaintoja. Tutkielmassa kirjallisuustieteellinen ja teologinen näkökulma tukevat toisiaan. Kirjallisuustieteellisestä näkökulmasta lohdutuskirjeet on tutkittavissa retoriikan tarjoamien käsitteiden avulla, koska ne on kirjoitettu aikana, jolloin retoriikka oli tärkeä yliopistollinen oppiaine. Tutkielma huomioi myös aiheen teologisen näkökulman, koska ajan kieli on uskonnollisesti värittynyttä ja koska Lutherin melankoliaterapiaan kuuluu vahva hengellinen ulottuvuus. Ihmisen kyky lohduttaa rinnastuu Lutherilla Jumalan kykyyn lohduttaa ihmistä Raamatun sanan kautta. Lutherille Jumala on reetori, jonka työväline on Raamatun pyhä sana. Puhutulla ja kirjoitetulla sanalla on Lutherin melankoliaterapiassa erityisen keskeinen merkitys. Tutkielmani osoittaa, että sekä Lutherin käyttämät retoriset keinot että hänen melankoliaterapiansa ovat suuressa määrin sopusoinnussa 1500-luvun retoriikan ja lääketieteen oppien kanssa. Luther käyttää melankoliaterapiassaan laajasti apuna erilaisia retorisia keinoja kuten toistoa, variaatiota, metaforaa ja esimerkkikertomuksia. Lutherin mainitsemat hoitokeinot kuten esimerkiksi metsästys, ratsastus, syöminen ja juominen, pelien pelaaminen, leikinlasku ja ystävien kanssa seurustelu ovat sopusoinnussa ajan hoitokäsitysten kanssa. Kirjeissä esiintyy myös lääketieteellisestä ja uskonnollisesta näkökulmasta katsottuna kyseenalaisia hoitokeinoja kuten tyhjänpäiväisten juttujen kertominen ja paholaisen kiroileminen. Nämä neuvot ylittävät ajan melankoliaterapiaan kuuluvan kohtuullisuuden säännön, ja ne on ymmärrettävä niiden teologisesta merkityksestä käsin. Lutherille kohtuullisuuden säännön rikkominen on toisinaan sallittua, kun on kysymys vaikeasta paholaisen aiheuttamasta melankoliasta. Kristillinen usko näyttää Lutherille tarjoavan vapauden käyttää tiettyjä hoitokeinoja, joita vielä keskiajalla ei olisi hyväksytty. Toisinaan Luther näkee kirjeen vastaanottajaa kohdanneen vaikeuden Jumalan eikä paholaisen aikaansaannoksena. Tällaisissa tapauksissa melankolia nähdään Jumalan työnä ihmisessä, joka mahdollistaa hengellisen kääntymisen Jumalan, kaiken lohdutuksen Isän puoleen.

This Master's Thesis defines the debt policy of the current European Union Member States towards the developing nations. Since no official policy for debt exists in the EU, it is defined to include debt practices (loans and debt relief in development cooperation) and debt within the EU development policy framework. This study (1) describes how the issue of external debt appears in the development policy framework, (2) compares EU Member States' given loans and debt relief to grants for the developing nations (1960s to the 2000s), and (3) measures the current orientation in ODA of each EU Member State between grant aid and loan aid using the Grant-Loan Index (GLI). Theoretical aspects include reasons for selecting between loans (Bouchet 1987) and grants (Odedokun 2004, O'Brien and Williams 2007), policy context of the EU (Van Reisen 2007) and the meaning of external debt in the set-up between the North and the South. In terms of history, the events and impact of the colonial period (where loans have originated) are overviewed and compared in light of today's policies. Development assistance statistics are derived from the OECD DAC statistics portal and EU development policy framework documents from the EU portal. Methodologically, the structure of this study is from policy analysis (Barrien 1999, Hill 2008, Berndtson 2008), but it has been modified to fit the needs of studying a non-official policy. EU Member States are divided into three groups by Carbone (2007a), the Big-3, Northern and Southern donors, based on common development assistance characteristics. The Grant-Loan Index is used to compare Carbone's model, which measures quality of aid, to the GLI measuring the structure of aid. Results indicate that EU- 15 countries (active in debt practices) differ in terms of timing, stability and equality of debt practices in the long-term (1960s to the 2000s). In terms of current practices, (2000-2008), it is noted that there lies a disparity between the actual practices and the way in which external debt is represented in the development policy framework, although debt practices form a relevant portion of total ODA practices for many EU-15 Member States, the issue itself plays a minor role in development policy documents. Carbone’s group division applies well to the Grant – Loan Index’s results, indicating that countries with similar development policy behaviour have similarities in debt policy behaviour, with one exception: Greece. On the basis of this study, it is concluded that EU development policy framework content in terms of external debt and debt practices are not congruent. The understanding of this disparity between the policy outline and differences in long-term practices is relevant in both, reaching the UN’s Millennium Development Goals, and in the actual process of developing development aid.

The main objects of the investigation were the syntactic functions of adjectives. The reason for the interest in these functions are the different modes of use, in which an adjective can occur. All together an adjective can take three different modes of use: attributive (e. g. a fast car), predicative (e. g. the car is fast) and adverbial (e. g. the car drives fast). Since an adjective cannot always take every function, some dictionaries (esp. learner s dictionaries) deliver information within the lexical entry about any restrictions. The purpose of the research consisted of a comparison in relation to the lexical entries of adjectives, which were investigated within four selected monolingual German-speaking dictionaries. The comparison of the syntactical data of adjectives were done to work out the differences and the common characteristics of the lexical entries concerning the different modes of use and to analyse respective to assess them. In the foreground, however, were the differences of the syntactical information. Concerning those differences it had to be worked out, which entry is the grammatically right one respective if one entry is in fact wrong. To find that out an empirical analysis was needed, which based on the question in which way an adjective is used within a context as far as there are no conforming data within the dictionaries. The delivery of the correctness and the homogeneity of lexical entries of German-speaking dictionaries are very important to support people who are learning the German language and to ensure the user friendliness of dictionaries. Throughout the investigations it became clear that in almost half of the cases (over 40 %) syntactical information of adjectives differ from each other within the dictionaries. These differences make it for non-native speakers of course very difficult to understand the correct usage of an adjective. Thus the main aim of the doctoral thesis was it to deliver and to demonstrate the clear syntactical usage of a certain amount of adjectives.
