21. Varken Gud eller natur : Synen på magi i 1600- och 1700-talets Sverige
Sammanfattning : How did people in 17th- and 18th-century Sweden understand and evaluate magic? To what extent did the attitudes of different social groups vary and how did they change during this period of substantial mental and social upheaval? The aim of this thesis is to examine these questions through a study of legislation, court records and writings of the educated élite. Attitudes towards magic are investigated from five different aspects: terminology and definitions (Which terms were used to signify magical phenomena and how were these terms defined?), contrasts (Which kinds of phenomena were seen as the opposites of magic?), values (How were different kinds of magic valued - as good or bad, permitted or forbidden?), beliefs (To what degree did people consider magic real or doubt its existence?), and measures (How was it thought appropriate to deal with magical rites and conceptions?).

24. Impartial legal counsel in real estate conveyances : the Swedish broker and the latin notary
Sammanfattning : Fastighetsöverlåtelser sker på olika sätt och med inblandning av olika aktörer i Europas länder. Behandlingen av fastighetsöverlåtelser i EU:s medlemsstaters rättsordningar kan grovt delas in i fyra kategorier, som har nära samband med de klassiska rättsliga ”familjerna": 1) Den latinsk-tyska notariemodellen, där notarius publicus spelar en central roll, 2) den delvis avreglerade holländska notariemodellen, 3) solicitormodellen, som förekommer på de brittiska öarna och där överlåtelser av hävd genomförs av advokater samt 4) den nordiska modellen med ett reglerat fastighetsmäklaryrke.
