Institutional care for children, so called orphanages, are still the most common type of alternative care for children deprived of parental care in Kyrgyzstan. The number of children who enter residential care in Kyrgyzstan has increased in recent years – this despite international attention of the need to move away from institutional childcare towards a range of family-based services.

In this thesis I set to examine, through the lenses of world-systems and ecological unequal exchange theories, stories of how individuals relate to their consumption and its environmental and social impacts. I will examine how people relate to these issues through a particular perspective of a consumer identity. I could observe, from various statistical data, that the metropolises of Australia bea

We employ a qualitative approach to explore whether and how the use of performance measurement systems differs between public and private providers in Swedish and Finnish primary care, from the perspective of primary care centre managers. The two settings are similar in terms of decentralised healthcare systems but differ in terms of organisation of primary care and governance principles for publi
Nestling feeding in altricial birds is a physiologically demanding phase of the annual cycle. Accordingly, parental effort in breeding songbirds has been suggested to be limited by the maximum capacity to perform sustained aerobic work. However, the maximum capacity for exercise and plasticity thereof is understudied in free-living, breeding songbirds. We tested two predictions related to the plas
This study explores how social workers perceive and enact informal protective arrangements in the context of Swedish child protection. Drawing on group interviews with practitioners, the findings reveal that social workers underline parents' legal obligation and duty to protect their children, which means that the safe parent is expected to restrict the child's contact with the parent deemed at ri
Health and emergency services aim to provide patients with urgent care according to an accessibility policy that is characterized by “proper service at the proper time and place” (Jordan et al. 2004; Murad 2007). Network analysis using geographical information system (GIS) applications has frequently been used in healthcare planning to investigate a population's accessibility to professional c

Psykisk ohälsa ökar i dagens samhälle och användandet av digitala medier likaså. Få studier har gjorts på hur organisationer kommunicerar kring psykisk ohälsa online. 1177.se, Sveriges samlingsplats på nätet för information och tjänster inom hälsa och vård, har skapat en temasida om psykisk hälsa med anledning att sprida kunskap och förändra attityder kring ämnet. Denna studie ämnar att öka förståMental illness is increasingly common in today's society, and so is the usage of digital media.

The literature on ownership in healthcare lacks evidence from the primary care sector, where the traditional small-scale business model is increasingly complemented by larger practices owned by corporations or the government. We explore the role of ownership in primary care in relation to a core theme in health economics — the balance between fee-for-service and capitation remuneration. We study h
Being a foster parent is not a profession and does not provide a salary—a placed child is supposed to be given a life in a regular family. However, foster parents receive fees and reimbursements, and they may be offered supervision and professional training. Researchers often emphasize the mixed nature of foster care, balancing between work and family, but it is less common to examine how foster p
Wildfire occurrences is creating serious challenges for fire and emergency response services and a diverse range of communities around the world due to the increment of the occurrence of these disasters.

When is the right time to start up a social venture? How should it price its first services? What constituencies should be considered when shaping the board? What collaborations should the venture establish? When is it time to expand? And to close down? How can long-term economic sustainability be achieved? Which scaling-up strategy is most appropriate? How can social impact be assessed? These are
