Elderly Parents’ Need for Help and Adult Children's Moving Decisions
2015
Recent changes in Finnish welfare policies have increased the need for family involvement in eldercare. This article uses qualitative interviews to study working adult daughters’ reasons for moving in with their parent(s). Coresidence was linked to the parents’ need for support, but also to the daughters’ life situations, family histories, the availability of welfare services, and cultural norms and values. The interviewees used the “familist” and “independent life” discourses in their speech. The familist discourse was used to argue for coresidence as a natural continuation of family traditions and life history, whereas the independent life discourse was used to legitimize the need for alt…
Some decisional problems on rational relations
1997
Abstract In this paper we prove that the problem of deciding whether a deterministic rational relation is star-free is recursively solvable, although the same problem for any rational relation is undecidable. We also prove that a rational relation is star-free if and only if it is aperiodic and deterministic.

Starppaaudžu attiecību ētiskie aspekti A. Smitas romānos "Rudens" un "Ziema"
2021
Kopš 20. gadsimta vidus demogrāfisko, tehnoloģisko un sociālpolitisko izmaiņu rezultātā pasaulē vienlaikus līdzāspastāv vairākas paaudzes ar izteikti atšķirīgām iezīmēm. Ir svarīgi uzturēt konstruktīvu, atvērtu dialogu starp dažadājām paaudzēm. Literatūra var piedāvāt telpu neierobežotai dialogu dažādībai. Ali Smitas gadalaiku kvartets ir uzrakstīts esošā laika solī, tādejādi atspoguļojot pašreizējos sociālos un politiskos notikumus Anglijā. Šā darba mērķis ir analizēt literāros paņēmienus, ar kuru palīdzību Ali Smita iesaista diskusijā par neatliekamiem ētikas un politikas jautājumiem starppaaudžu dialogā. Ali Smitas romānu “Rudens” un “Ziema” uzmanīga lasīšana atklāj, ka Smita patiesu not…
La relación entre abuelos y nietos. Factores que predicen la calidad de la relación intergeneracional
2004
This study tries to identify the main factors determining the quality in grandparent/ grandchild relationships from the perspective of grandchildren. Three hundred and sixty one Spanish young adults responded to questions concerning the quality of their relationship with the "preferred" or "most close" grandparent. Results indicated the following aspects as significant predictors of grandparent-grandchild relationship: a) the frequency of contact between grandparents-grandchildren; b) the quality of the parent-grandparent relationship; c) the number of shared activities; and d) the perception of the grandparent as "caregiver" and "teacher".<br><br>El presente estudio se centra e…
Wewnątrzkulturowe uwarunkowania międzypokoleniowej transmisji przywiązania w adolescencji
2017
Celem badania była analiza środowiska zamieszkania (wieś versus miasto) jako moderatora zakresu oraz mechanizmów międzypokoleniowej transmisji (związku) przywiązania pomiędzy matkami i ich nastoletnimi dziećmi za pośrednictwem zachowań związanych z ich wrażliwością rodzicielską (tj. kontrolą psychologiczną i ciepłem wskazywanym przez akceptację-odrzucenie). Przyjmując założenie ekologicznie zróżnicowanej ekspresji przywiązania matek sformułowaliśmy hipotezy częściowej i moderowanej mediacji zakładające, że związek przywiązania matki i nastolatka będzie silniejszy w mieście, aniżeli na wsi. Próba była złożona z 575 diad matka-dziecko zamieszkujących na wsi i w mieście. Przywiązanie matki i n…
Sukupolvisuhteet, hallinta ja subjektifikaatio : etnografinen tutkimus lasten ja aikuisten suhteista vuorohoitopäiväkodissa
2018
This ethnographic study examines intergenerational relations in a day-care center with extended opening hours. The theoretical starting points of the study draw on Michel Foucault’s concept of governmentality. Therefore, this dissertation aims to generate insights into intergenerational relations in a day care with extended hours from the viewpoint of governance. The data for the study were collected from one Finnish day-care class through observation and half- structured interviews. The day-care class was part of a municipal day-care center with extended hours; the center was open from 5.30 am to 10.30 pm. Children would be present depending on the working hours of their parents. There- fo…
