Johan on markkinat! : varhaiskasvatuspalveluiden järjestäminen muutoksessa

2018

Yksityisesti tuotetun varhaiskasvatuksen osuus kasvaa. Kasvu on ollut julkisesti tuettua eli poliittisen prosessin tulos. Yksityisen toiminnan, perheiden valinnan mahdollisuuksien ja palveluntuottajien kilpailun lisääntymissä on kyse varhaiskasvatuksen markkinoistumisesta. Viime kädessä varhaiskasvatuksesta päätetään kuntatasolla. Tutkimuksessamme olemme tarkastelleet, millaisia merkityksiä kuntapäättäjät markkinoistumiskehitykseen liittävät. nonPeerReviewed

Also available from the publisher at: http://dx.doi.org/10.1089/neu.2011.1811 There are currently no international guidelines regarding treatment in the early rehabilitation phase for persons with severe traumatic brain injury (TBI), and only a few studies have investigated the effect of integrating rehabilitation into acute TBI care.

Informational interactions and the future of cities

1998

Present-day city growth is chiefly the result of new tertiary activities such as financial and producer services, R&D, or business administration. It seems that these activities need to be more spatially concentrated than traditional manufacturing activities. These new trends affect both the structure of cities and the structure of city systems. The specific nature of the new activities concentrated in city centers makes them information intensive. These activities consume human capital, knowledge and hightech capital, which are all rapidly changing inputs; they are based on complex decisionmakingprocesses; this renders them highly information-dependent. Inasmuch as these activities are the…

Urban green spaces and urban planning instruments for the protection of ecosystem services: proposals for re - thinking urban legislation in Sicily

2016

According to the Ecological Society of America (2014), more than half of the world population (3.9 billion inhabitants on a total of 7.2 billion) resides in urban areas where 75% of energy consumption and 80% of the greenhouse gases emissions are concentrated (UN-HABITAT, 2012). This data, inevitably, show cities as a patchwork of environmental issues (as well as social and economic issues) and of threats to the integrity of the ecosystem services. The damages suffered by these services, due to transformations of basic territorial resources in the name of an illusory global prosperity, continue to have negative consequences not only in environmental terms, but also in economic terms, as hig…

Economy, Management and Education beyond Twentieth Century

2014

Abstract In history, people with a high level of education have had a good living standard. The education is responsible for: structure of consumption, public health, standard of living.

Further reasoning leads us inevitably to the dissolution of the society and a possible disappearance or change of state. Not ruled out the option of a totalitarian society.
