Revisiting the Nordic long-term care model for older people - still equal?
2022
With the extensive long-term care services for older people, the Nordic countries have been labelled ‘caring states’ as reported (Leira, Welfare state and working mothers: the Scandinavian experience, Cambridge University Press, Cambridge, 1992). The emphasis on services and not cash benefits ensures the Nordics a central place in the public service model (Anttonen and Sipilä, J Eur Soc Policy 6:87–100, 1996). The main feature of this ideal model is public social care services, such as home care and residential care services, which can cover the need for personal and medical care, as well as assistance with household chores. These services are provided within a formally and professionally b…

Early modern state formation in the margins? A review of early modern popular politics and limited royal power in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth …
2017
The traditional historiography of early modern state-building has usually followed the western European paradigm of historiography, the usual models being France, England, Brandenburg-Prussia and Sweden. Regions that do not follow this paradigm have simply been left out and labeled “backward” or as “lagging behind”. In this literary review, our focus is on two different and rather surprising cases of early modern state formation: the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth and the Spanish colonial empire in Latin America. By following the scholarship on these two large conglomerates, we focus on two scholarly concepts: the idea of early modern realms as composite/conglomerate states, and state forma…
Looking for the Easy Way Out : Demographic Panic and the Twists and Turns of Long-Term Care Policy in Finland
2019
This chapter aims to map the twists and turns in the development of long-term care policy in Finland since the start of the 1990s. The main argument of the chapter is that these changes have to a large part been motivated by what is called here ‘demographic panic’, that is, fear of consequences of population ageing to the public purse. Various policy changes have taken place during the last three decades. Since the late 1980s, Finnish long-term care policies have been made under the shadow of the ‘demographic time bomb’ discourse that argues that care expenditures are to rise exponentially if determined action is not taken to curb the expenditures. As a result, the focus of policy has been …
Beatrix Potter : allegoriaa ja satiiria eläinsaduissa
2009
Tämä tutkielma analysoi englantilaisen satukirjailijan Beatrix Potterin satutuotannosta kahdeksan satua. Sadut kuluvat taidesatujen genreen ja niiden allegoria toimii niin, että niissä eläimet toimivat ihmisen naamioina. Satujen allegorian takaa löytyy satiiria, jonka keskeiset teemat ovat yhteiskunnallinen eriarvoisuus, erityisesti viktoriaaninen sääty-yhteiskunta, perheen ja äidin valta, sekä naisen roolit viktoriaanisessa yhteiskunnassa. Lisäksi satujen keskeisenä teemana on vapauden kaipuu.

2016
Pētījuma mērķis bija noskaidrot sakarību kā augstāki prokrastinācijas kā iezīmes un noguruma rādītāji prognozē gulētiešanas laika novilcināšanu.

Tika izmantota: “Prokrastinācijas aptauja” (Lay, 1986) un divas aptaujas, kuras tiek adaptētas šī maģistra darba ietvaros “Gulētiešanas laika prokrastinācijas skala” (Adriaanse, De Ridder, Evers, & Kroese, 2014), “Noguruma aptauja” (Chalder et al., 1993). Tika izvirzīta hipotēze - nogurums un prokrastinācija pozitīvi prognozē gulētiešanas laika novilcināš…

A note on the dimensions of Assouad and Aikawa
2013
We show that in Euclidean space and other regular metric spaces, the notions of dimensions defined by Assouad and Aikawa coincide. In addition, in more general metric spaces, we study the relationship between these two dimensions and a related codimension and give an application of the Aikawa (co)dimension for the Hardy inequalities.
