2021
Nowadays, humanity is confronted with one of the most difficult challenges. Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) was identified for the first time in Hubei, China in December 2019 and produced the COVID-19 pandemic, a devastating disease that led to many complications and deaths. The authorities and the global healthcare system have been alerted regarding the prevention and treatment of this pathology. Even though worldwide quarantine was declared, health care professionals, including pharmacists, have been at the frontline in this war. Since the beginning of the pandemic, the authorities relied on the involvement of the community, hospital, or clinical pharmacists i…

Pilvipalveluiden käyttö
2017
Tämä tutkielma perehtyy pilvipalveluihin, niiden käyttäjäryhmiin sekä syihin, miksi pilvipalveluita käytetään. Pilvipalvelut ovat internetin yli tarjottavia laitteita ja ohjelmistoja, joihin on samanaikainen pääsy eri puolilta maailmaa.

Public-service provision in clientelist political settlements: Lessons from Ghana's urban water sector
2015
The politics of public-service delivery continues to be neglected under the supposedly more context-sensitive post-Washington Consensus. Using interviews and documentary evidence from Ghana, this article provides an account of the networks of political interference and informal practices in Ghana's public water utility. It argues that, in order to understand why private-sector participation succeeds or fails and why similar arrangements have different outcomes across developing countries, we need to examine the effects of the informal institutional context, particularly the country-specific political settlement in which public-service provision operates.
L'accès des ménages aux services dans l'espace périurbain francilien
2008
The access of populations to services, out of the dense urban centres, is marked by the retreat of the services of proximity to which populations and local councillors appear particularly attached. However, in peri-urban spaces, this remote setting of the resources compared to the populations is the result of the generalized adoption of the automobile standard for mobility and accessibility. That has two effects: first a disintegration of the local offer, then a disintegration of the modal alternatives to the private car, because of relocalizations of services and populations which privilege car for their accessibility and call into question their access by other modes like public transport…
