Financialization of Eldercare in a Nordic Welfare State
2022
Abstract The increasing presence of for-profit service providers in publicly-funded eldercare has transformed care in Nordic welfare states which have a strong tradition of public care provision. Macro-level research on care policies has mainly focused on public institutions, national policies, and marketization. The financialization of eldercare has not received much scholarly attention, and existing studies mostly focus on the UK. The financialization of eldercare refers to the ways in which care is both a site of profit extraction and financial engineering. The Nordic system is relatively universal, and, with rapidly ageing demographics, there is a secured demand for eldercare services. …
Sosiaalinen hyvinvointi turvaa terveyttä
2022
Ihmisen hyvinvointi on moniulotteinen ilmiö, joka ei ole pelkistettävissä yksilötasolle ja hyvän terveyden käsitteisiin. Liittyminen ja yhteenkuuluvuus toisiin on ihmisen keskeinen perustarve, ja tässä katsausartikkelissa jäsennämme niitä eri näkökulmia, joita eri tieteenalat ja tarkastelutavat tarjoavat sosiaalisen hyvinvoinnin ymmärtämiseksi. Sosiaalinen hyvinvointi rakentuu ja muovautuu koko elämän ajan yksilön vuorovaikutuksessa ryhmänsä, yhteisöjensä ja yhteiskunnan kanssa. Yksilöiden välisten erojen lisäksi myös yhteiskunnat eroavat keskimääräisessä hyvinvoinnissaan, samoin eri väestöryhmät ja yhteisöt yhteiskunnan sisällä. Sosiaalista hyvinvointia voidaankin arvioida myös globaalista…

The Industrial Applicability of PEA Space Charge Measurements, for Performance Optimization of HVDC Power Cables
2019
Cable manufacturing industries are constantly trying to improve the electrical performance of power cables. During the years, it was found that one of the most relevant degradation factors influencing the cable lifetime is the presence of space charge in the insulation layer. To detect the accumulated charge, the pulsed electro-acoustic (PEA) method is the most used technique. Despite the wide use of the PEA cell, several issues are still present. In particular, the PEA output signal is strongly disturbed by the acoustic waves reflections within the PEA cell. This causes the distortion of the output signal and therefore the misinterpretation of the charge profiles. This, in turn, may result…
