Higher life expectancy on a global level requires complex nursing care as poor education and a lack of knowledge can lead to mistakes. There is a need for nurses who can provide high quality and advanced nursing practice.

Puusta pudonnut Asko Oksan pakinoita on julkaistu paikallislehti Pogostan Sanomissa vuodesta 1985 lähtien. Asko Oksa on ympäristöystävällinen nimimerkki! Siksipä Askon sahajauhoissa pyörineet ajatukset ovat kuin puusta pudonneen mietteitä. Asko Oksa voisi olla ajatuksiensa ja toilailujensa puolesta surkean hahmon ritarin, Don Quijoten tai nolojen tilanteiden miehen, Mr. Beanin pikkuserkku. Yleisön pyynnöstä huolimatta näitä pakinoita ja niihin liittyviä ajatuksia sekä muistoja kirjoittajan kovin vaatimattoman työuran varrelta on koottu näiden pehmeiden kansien väliin. Jopa pilvien päälle ulottuneiden mielikuvitusmatkojen lisäksi Asko on päässyt muutaman kerran ihan fyysisesti ulkomaille. Tämän ovat mahdollistaneet ystävien hankkimat menoliput. Näin ollen Askon muistelmien ensimmäinen osa kuljettaa lukijaa Askon kotimökin kaivolta muun muassa Intian viidakon putoukselle ja tikan nakutteleman puhelinpylvään juurelta tiikerin häkkiin.
When well functioning national welfare states are put under pressure, also the tasks of civic society and citizens' mutual responsibility are being re-defined. Hence, the significance of the civic society organisations in one of the most successful and stable circumstances of welfare states - in Northern Europe - is of great interest. This publication gives a first comprehensive overview of existing research on civic society organisations in the area of welfare services in the five Nordic countries. Besides a comparative Nordic analysis, focussed national contributions are provided. Finally, leading European researchers connect the Nordic debate in to a stimulating European context. How far are the Nordic welfare traditions still of significance, since all welfare states are similarly challenged by the global market economy? Can welfare organisations provide opportunities even for the most vulnerable groups to achieve full citizenship?
