Full textAbstract:
In the scientific community, the concept of services of general interest is relatively new, even though its components have been examined in various ways for several decades. The term "service of general interest" is a political and normative expression introduced by the European Union. While it is challenging to provide a precise definition, services of general interest are generally understood as service activities that public administration bodies in a specific country or region designate as activities contributing to the public welfare. In geographical research, individual elements of this concept are often analysed, such as the provision of infrastructure and services in settlements, the organization of central places, or the accessibility of services in a specific area. This paper aims to organize fundamental knowledge about services of general interest, as found in scientific and professional literature; with the intention of analysing definitions and classifications of these services, exploring the scientific interest in distinct service categories, examining the spatial organization of services, and investigating their accessibility and adaptation in response to modern social, economic, and technological changes.

AbstractThe strengthening of social cohesion, the globalization and the opening of the market to free competition, the expanding of the public – private partnership and the sustainable development are the main questions which arise today about the future of services of general interest. The current economic and financial crisis recalls that the main role of the services of general interest lies in ensuring the social and territorial cohesion. At the same time, the crisis has a significant impact on the public sector due to the pressure on public finances and it is essential to make every effort possible in order to keep providing these services and improve their quality. The upcoming accession of Romania to the European Union requires precise criteria for guaranteeing the performance and quality of public services of general interest and, in particular, the development of network industries and the link between these elements is a prerequisite for facilitating the integration, increasing citizens welfare and achieving in a short time the community rules and standards. The role of services of general interest is the sustainable development of a territory and their contribution in maintaining the balance between environment and society, exploiting the available resources in a particular plan, fighting against social exclusion and isolation. Overall, the man has an important role, he can transform the environment, because he is considered an integral part thereof, subject only to maintaining the balance between himself and the other components of the environment; at the same time, he must accept his role as a stabilizing factor in his relationship with nature. Services of general interest in a region should positively influence the life of people in order to achieve the long-term development vision by transforming the region’s functioning of institutions. Sustainable development means recognizing that economy, environment and social welfare are interdependent namely that affecting the environment in terms of quality will sooner or later have a negative influence on economic development and the quality of life of each one of us. The human component is an essential urban mobility, and every type of public service must be carried out in a planned system in terms of territory. A responsible demographic capable of long-term strategies for rational use of resources, ensures sustainability planning. Sustainability does not imply an imposed proactive strategy. If an area has resources, a vigorous and enterprising demographic system, fair and profitable exchanges with the outside, it is sustainable, thus it can evolve without outside intervention.

This paper discusses Social Services of General Interest, a political term of the European Union, which lies at the heart of the European Model of Society and Cohesion concepts. How and why is the organization and provision of services across Europe rooted in, and shaped by, the prevailing national constitutional components of social welfare and spatial planning systems? A high degree of interrelation between these two systems is confirmed and Social Services of General Interest are detected and conceptualized as a substantiation of components of both systems. In a concluding step, an analytical framework is introduced which enables us to research Social Services of General Interest from different angles for the purpose of deploying promising policy solutions.

Abstract This paper evaluates the impact of austerity measures on national social protection mechanisms and on the European Social Model. The study is based on an in-depth analysis of austerity measures adopted in Italy and Portugal and the evolution of several indicators, such as unemployment rates and the percentage of citizens at risk of poverty. The analysis demonstrates that measures adopted in the field of new economic governance have had an impact on the organization and provision of SGEIs and have affected the solidity of the national welfare state. It will be argued that in this context the promotion of a social dimension of the EU requires innovative methods for the regulation of new economic governance.

The authors are developing a pilot project for a Municipality in the North of Portugal, envisaging the definition and implementation of an e-marketplace for healthcare and social services, in order to facilitate the interaction between healthcare and social services professionals and people with special needs (or their relatives). Based on the results of a survey on user needs analysis and expectations conducted in 2011, the paper discusses the relevance and interest of such platforms and the main drivers and motivations of the population for using such services, as well as which services would motivate citizens to use the platform. The results of the study will be used to select the products and services perceived to be the most desired by the potential users. The paper thus makes three main contributions: (1) the results of the study confirm the interest and the perceived potential of such a service, from the end-users perspective; (2) the findings support the advantage of expanding this pilot project to a full scale implementation; and (3) the performed analysis improves our understanding of the relations between the characteristics of the inquired population and the perceived interest in such platforms.

Services of general interest form an essential element of the European model of society as a way to increase quality of life and to overcome social exclusion and isolation. They are also at the core of the public debate touching the central question of the role public authorities and the institutions of the European Union play in a market economy. The competencies and responsibilities conferred by the Treaty, the EU regulations and directives lay emphasis on the essential role and the wide discretion of national, regional and local authorities in defining, organizing, financing and monitoring services of general interest. The same time the EU Law provide the European Commission with a wide range of means of action to ensure the compliance of the process of organizing and financing such services according to a comprehensive regulatory regime at Community level to make them compatible with the internal market and to prevent a distortion of the competition rules. The paper indicates divergences of the points of view of public authorities and the Commission on their role, shared responsibility and powers in that process.

Full textAbstract:
Inclusion and the associated provision of social services is a central fundamental right in the European Union. Social services of general interest are based on the principles of an inclusive welfare state enshrined in EU primary law. However, the European Commission tends to interpret these social services rather economically. This paper shows that the way in which these services are provided in the Member States is decisive for the categorization of an economic or non-economic activity by the European Commission. Whether social services are to be classified as being related to economic activities and, therefore, subject to the competition and internal market rules depends on their organization and structure.

Full textAbstract:
The applicability of the competition rules has far-reaching consequences for the freedom of the State to organize the supply of public services. Could the specific features of particular public services justify the non-applicability of the competition rules? This contribution explores which limits to the broad concept of undertaking can be found in EU competition law. It will be argued that, apart from the two (well-known) limits related to official authority and social security schemes, a third limit emerges from the case law of the EU courts. Services provided in order to pursue specific public policy goals seem to fall outside European competition law. In contrast with economic activities, where companies supply goods or services to individual consumers, the main characteristic of the ‘public policy goal activities’ is the collective way of financing. It will be contended that the following three-prong test should be carried out for concluding that competition law does not apply to these activities: (1) the supply of the services concerned is predominately dependent on public funding (2) the objective of the public funding is to achieve a public interest goal (3) the activities concerned are closely related to this public interest goal.

Full textAbstract:
Public services play a key role in developing a country as well as in democratic stability in emerging societies. To realize this important mission, public services should be guided by principles of efficiency, effectiveness to fulfill the condition of general interest and general economic interest as well as promoted by the EU. At the same time, democracy orientes us towards a system governed by the principles of individual and groups competition, high inclusion of participatory politics in the selection of leaders and fair choice policies, press freedom, promotion of participation etc. As we mentioned above, it seems that the principles of democracy conflict with those of public services. The main purpose of this paper is to reflect and analyze the way how public services operate in democracy, how it affects the social development of a country, and what is the role of a public servant or public administrator in this case. The paper analyzes the democratic role of interest groups in improving government policies in order to implement reforms and increase the efficiency of the rule of law in Albania.The aims of the paper will be realized between the theoretical synthesis of literature, legislation and reports.

Full textAbstract:
The socio-structural development towards an ever-increasing lifespan (in Germany), predicted by social scientists, implies a growing need of services of general public interest for those in need, especially in the areas of health and care provision. Considering the continuous skills shortage in these areas one can assume that social insurances and the welfare state might become partially incapable to fulfil their obligation to guarantee social security. Innovative alternative approaches of local provision of services of general public interest, especially in rural areas, make use of effective resources of mutual-aid organisation which is efficiently networking with other social institutions, NGOs, local businesses and the citizens. Professional and financial support is ideally given by the local administration/ the municipalities as well as the social insurers according to § 20 h SGB V and § 45 d SGB XI. This article presents and analyses a successful coordination of services of general public interest through a contact office for mutual-aid groups in the Oberlausitz/Saxony, Germany which is mainly operating in the realms of the Third Sector.

Full textAbstract:
This paper aims to explore the influence of interest groups regarding social welfare policies implemented in North Macedonia and analyze how this influence is perceived through citizens’ lenses. Considering the importance of interest groups in democratic systems where principles of good governance should be implemented, it is of main importance to explore at what extent interest groups contribute or affect processes of policy-making. What are some interest groups that can be considered as influential and have the highest levels of membership referring to social policies? How do citizen-beneficiaries perceive current Macedonian welfare state and what is their perception regarding the role of interest groups in pushing policy processes? The purpose of the paper is to explore associations that aim to protect public interest and influence decision making as much as groups serving narrow interests in the field of social policy. There is increasing recognition of the emergence of new and pernicious interest groups, which have influence on policymaking. Methodologically, this research is designed based on a desk research, literature review and empirical research, conducted in the period of October 2019 – March 2020. The perceptions are being measured through questionnaires that have been conducted with random individuals (beneficiaries/not beneficiaries of social services) with the aim to have some insights on behalf of their perceptions regarding the welfare/social protection system and additionally have some evidence of their participation in interest groups as well. The results of this research show low levels of participation and trust of citizens in interest groups and little contentment regarding welfare policies and delivery of social services, in the country.

Full textAbstract:
In the European Union, water supply services are referred to as ‘services of general interest’, meaning that they are subject to multiple, potentially conflicting, public service obligations. This paper considers empirical data for Portuguese municipalities and provides a comprehensive approach to assessing the social dimension by evaluating whether the concerns of universal access to water services for basic needs, affordability and equity are embodied in the corresponding water supply tariffs. Accordingly, ‘essential minimum quantities’ (EMQs) of water for representative households are calculated and then compared with the lowest tariff block's upper limit, by water utility. Next, charges underlying the EMQs are calculated and compared with the average income of each representative household, by municipality. The results show that, in general, the EMQs are enclosed in the first block of consumption and also that the corresponding water charges do not represent a disproportionate burden on average household size and income. Nonetheless, our findings indicate that, when considering the 20% poorest households, the water charges raise affordability concerns in an important number of municipalities. Further, the results show that there is a socio-economic inequity that favours the better-off households.

This data can be used to personalize recommendations in a smart tourism application. Our approach is based on flow centrality metrics typically used in social network analysis: flow betweenness, flow closeness and eccentricity. These metrics are useful to discover relevant nodes within the network yielding nodes that can be interpreted as suggestions (venues or services) to users. We describe the semantic network built on graph model, as well as social metrics algorithms used to produce recommendations. We also present challenges and results from a prototypical implementation applied to the case study of the City of Puebla, Mexico.

Full textAbstract:
The article aspires to delve into the question of whether the EU framework for water services can take sufficiently into account the multiple dimensions of water and regulate the competing interests in a balanced way. At first, the regulation of the three dimensions of water in International Law (environmental, social and economic) is briefly analysed. As regards the EU Legal Order, the regulation of water within the framework of the EU environmental legislation is at fist traced. Then, emphasis is placed on the classification and regulation of water services as Services of General Economic Interest (SGEI), the application of the State Aid and the Internal Market rules and the possible tensions arising with regard to the accessibility and the quality of the water services. Furthermore, the impact of Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) as an example of the new Trade Agreements on the regulation of the water services is put under the spotlight. A central conclusion is that the various aspects concerning water services are addressed in a rather comprehensive manner in the EU Regulatory Framework, although tensions continue to exist. Moreover, CETA creates a new regulatory ‘landscape’ that may ‘disrupt’ the existing delicate balance concerning the regulation in this field.

Full textAbstract:
The Transformation of the Social Interplay Between Public Services and their Staff Danielle Charles-Le Bihan The opening up in France of the major public services to competition has been accompanied by a sensitive social agenda, which has generated real confusion between public services and the State. Changes in the status of companies charged with carrying out public services and in that of their personnel, are linked to the destiny of the concept of public service. From the point of view of personnel status, this period of transition calls into question the traditional criteria establishing civil servant status and basic concepts such as the "mission" and the "organisation" of public services. Socio-professional relations are tom between the logic of the general interest (which civil servants are charged with pursuing) and the logic of the market place (which strongly imbues the developing contract culture). This change in social relations as the heart of businesses charged with the task of carrying out public services leads us to rethink the notion of public service in order to construct a new social legitimacy.

Conscious and functional use of online social spaces can support the elderly with mind cognitive impairment (MCI) in their daily routine, not only for systematic monitoring, but to achieve effective targeted engagement. In this sense, although social involvement can be obtained when elder’s experiences, interests, and goals are shared and accepted by the community, an important subsistence for aging depends on the compelling information, users’ co-operation, and resource reliability. Unfortunately, applications aimed at optimizing the information content and the reliability of online users are still missing. Within the SystEm of Nudge theory-based ICT applications for OldeR citizens (SENIOR) project, an advanced social platform will be created in which the elderly with MCI will be involved in “optimized” social communities, where suggestions for general well-being will be recognized as useful by users and shared by care providers. We report the results of our study addressing this issue from a theoretical perspective: we propose a computational problem and a heuristic solution where “expert users” can engage and support the elderly by suggesting available services and facilities for their conditions. The numerical experiments on synthetic data are of interest when considering large communities, which is the most natural situation for online social spaces.

“They might as well say this is Communist Russia.” — Dr. James Kennedy, Franklin, Tennessee.Medicaid has failed in its mission to care for the poor because doctors refuse to participate in the program. New ways are needed to entice physicians to treat Medicaid patients. TennCare, Tennessee’s Medicaid managed care demonstration project, shows that managed care plans can induce physicians to treat the poor by creating substantial collective purchasing power and by conditioning access to middle class patients on treatment of the poor, thus appealing to physicians’ financial self-interest. TennCare shows a new and promising approach, no matter how vociferously physicians complain about it.TennCare, Tennessee’s Medicaid experiment, seeks to double Medicaid coverage in Tennessee—from approximately 750,000 people to 1.5 million. TennCare removes limits on Medicaid services, expands the medical services offered, and emphasizes low cost, cost-effective primary care. Perhaps most importantly, TennCare promises to mainstream health care for the poor by providing preventive and primary care in private physicians’ offices, moving the site of care away from expensive emergency rooms and hospitals. TennCare sounds like an ideal solution.

Full textAbstract:
Psychiatric disorders are among the top of the conditions that cause disability worldwide and attract one of the highest levels of stigmatization in today's society, which has a strong impact on the quality of life of patients suffering from these conditions. In Romania, mental health develops more difficult than the other medical and social sciences due not to the lack of professionals or lack of interest of the scientific community, but because it still carries the stigma of "madness". This stigma gives him a gloomy aura and over time has led to profound prejudices related to both the beneficiaries of mental health services and their specialists. Many people who need or want to call for services in the field of mental health, refuse or fear to appeal to specialists for fear of stigma and prejudice. Due to these prejudices, the society is reluctant to integrate people who have suffered from a mental illness, they are often stigmatized and rejected by others, being viewed with suspicion due in particular to the unpredictability of its potentially antisocial behaviors and actions. The reason that justifies this research is that by determining the way in which psychic patients are perceived, the interest with which the society relates to their problems is highlighted. The results obtained have a practical involvement in the sense that it demonstrates the necessity and usefulness of informing the general population about mental illness. By correct information it is envisaged to change the attitude towards the illness and the mentally ill, thus preventing their stigmatization and discrimination.

First, the primary method of collective interest representation has shifted from collective bargaining, nowadays only pursued by a minority of employers’ organizations, to political representation, now the most frequent form of collective interest representation. Second, the structure of employer interest representation has evolved and is fragmented between a small number of large, general employers’ organizations, a large majority of sectoral employers’ organizations, regional interest representation in the devolved nations, which has become more important, and a new type of employer body, the employer forum, which focuses on corporate social responsibility. Third, the shift in collective interest representation is complemented by a broadening of individual interest representation, with employers’ organizations having developed a wide range of services.

Social exclusion, especially social exclusion in old age, represents an area of interest at European level, in the context of demographic transformations. At national level, studies and research on social exclusion in old age are scarce, although the older population is more likely to be at risk of social exclusion. The article presents the results of a quantitative research methodology based on a questionnaire applied to older people of age 65 years and over. The research was conducted during November - December 2021 and the survey was representative at national level with a margin of error of ±3.5%. The aim of this article is to analyse the perceptions of older persons regarding the access and quality of social and healthcare services accessed, and thus, to gain a better understanding on how these types of services could contribute to social inclusion. Data interpretation was made using techniques of descriptive statistical analysis. Results emphasize that access to social and healthcare services are essential in old age. Perceptions of older persons highlight the need for structural changes at national level, so that social and healthcare services could make a real contribution to reducing social exclusion.

Full textAbstract:
Background With rising availability and use of Internet and mobile technology in society, the demand and need for its integration into health care is growing. Despite great potential within mental health care and growing uptake, there is still little evidence to guide how these tools should be integrated into traditional care, and for whom. Objective To examine factors that might inform how e-communication should be implemented in our local outpatient mental health program, including barriers to traditional office-based care, patient preferences, and patient concerns. Methods We conducted a survey in the waiting room of our outpatient mental health program located in an urban, academic ambulatory hospital. The survey assessed (1) age, mobile phone ownership, and general e-communication usage, (2) barriers to attending office-based appointments, (3) preferences for, and interest in, e-communication for mental health care, and (4) concerns about e-communication use for mental health care. We analyzed the data descriptively and examined associations between the presence of barriers, identifying as a social media user, and interest level in e-communication. Results Respondents (N=68) were predominantly in the age range of 25-54 years. The rate of mobile phone ownership was 91% (62/68), and 59% (40/68) of respondents identified as social media users. There was very low existing use of e-communication between providers and patients, with high levels of interest endorsed by survey respondents. Respondents expressed an interest in using e-communication with their provider to share updates and get feedback, coordinate care, and get general information. In regression analysis, both a barrier to care and identifying as a social media user were significantly associated with e-communication interest (P=.03 and P=.003, respectively). E-communication interest was highest among people who both had a barrier to office-based care and were a social media user. Despite high interest, there were also many concerns including privacy and loss of in-person contact. Conclusions A high burden of barriers to attending office-based care paired with a high interest in e-communication supports the integration of e-communication within our outpatient services. There may be early adopters to target: those with identified barriers to office-based care and who are active on social media. There is also a need for caution and preservation of existing services for those who choose not to, or cannot, access e-services.

Social rental housing is one of the possible instruments which are applied to ensure the satisfaction of housing needs. However, public funds which are transferred to entities that operate within this area should be usually classified as State aid. The analysis presented in this paper concerns the following question: is it possible to consider the operation of a social rental housing program as services of general economic interest. This question seems to be a topical issue because of a new legislative initiative aiming at establishing a governmental housing program that was implemented by the Act of 10 September 2015 which amended the Act on certain forms of supporting housing construction. The aforementioned program stipulates the legal frames for refundable and preferential financing that may be granted to specific entities in order to realise investments in social rental housing. The governmental housing program complements earlier local housing policies in force. What is significant is that the Polish legislator decided to qualify support granted as services of general economic interest, as referred to in Commission Decision 2012/21/UE of 20 December 2011 on the Application of Article 106(2) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union to State aid in the form of public service compensation granted to certain undertakings entrusted with the operation of services of general economic interest. Applying Commission Decision 2012/21/UE to this situation raises some doubts as to the lack of clarity of a term “social housing”. Due to a certain controversy over the abovementioned issue, the authors have attempted to examine whether the application of preferential provisions of Commission Decision 2012/21/UE to the social housing program is in accordance with the relevant provisions of EU competition rules.

Planning each comprehensive trip is regarded as a complicated and time-consuming task which includes the process starting from searching specific tourist information to planning an itinerary in unfamiliar areas. In response to the decision making challenges that tourists may encounter in planning a trip or discovering a destination, this paper proposes an integrated framework for a system supporting tourists in Thailand. The aim of the framework is to provide a service that considers data from a variety of sources, including static and social data, and then recommends points of interest (POI) and itineraries for POI, based on the requirements and interests of the user. The framework consists of three components: a personalized POI recommendation engine, an itinerary planner, and a mobile application. Together these form the foundation of a personalized travelling information system for Thailand. This paper outlines the basic framework and provides a discussion on the potential issues encountered.

The travel to unknown places, in the “expanding margins” of the tourist system, arouses the interest of visitors. At the same time, it is considered an option for the diversification of destinations, attractions and tourist modalities. According to these trends, adventure tourism services have recently been developed in the Argentinean Puna. The article aims to analyse how these services participate in the processes of transforming this area into an emerging tourist destination. In order to do that, three dimensions are considered: a) the general conditions that enable the design of these services; b) the geographical and tourist imaginaries associated with Puna involved in the offered trips; y c) the negotiations established between adventure tourism entrepreneurs and other actors with presence and interests in the area.

Full textAbstract:
Article 40 of the Energy Law Act of 10 April 1997 provides for the possibility for the President of the Energy Regulatory Office to order the continuation of economic activity by an energy company despite the expiry of a license. This is a special regulation related to the need to ensure the continuity of supplies and protection of recipients of energy services when required by social interest. Therefore, this regulation provides for an exception to the principle of the freedom to undertake, perform, and terminate economic activity. The purpose of this article is to draw attention to the fact that the necessity to ensure the provision of energy services in a continuous manner means that the state imposes an obligation on energy companies to continue economic activity, at the same time not guaranteeing the entrepreneurs sufficient compensation in the form of appropriate remuneration for continuing the economic activity. Pursuant to the provisions of the Energy Law Act of 10 April 1997, an energy company is only entitled to loss coverage and only in the amount limited to the justified costs of the ordered activity.

The urgency of the research under consideration is determined by the need to speed up the process of introducing a social order in Ukraine. At the same time, conceptual issues regarding the social ordering of social services for children and their families in accordance with the international standards are not sufficiently substantiated. The purpose of the article: analysis of the international experience of social ordering of services for children and their families in the system of providing the social services in the best interests of a child. The article uses a theoretical analysis of modern scientific literature by Ukrainian and foreign researchers on the research topic, methods of generalization and systematization to deepen the understanding of social order, modern trends in the system of providing social services, as well as the specifics of purchasing social services by local authorities from non-state providers in EU countries. Social order in Ukraine is defined as a means of regulating activities in the system of providing social services by engaging social service providers on a contractual basis to meet the needs of individuals/families in social services in accordance with the results of determining the needs of the population of the administrative-territorial unit/territorial community in social services. Research attention is paid to the fact that in the process of social ordering, the power to protect children cannot be delegated, that is, local authorities should remain the only responsible body for key decisions in the best interests of the child.

State aid rules do not usually offer sufficient space for territorial tax measures to address the social issues of the most disadvantaged areas of the EU. The aim of this article is to find out the coordinates of a new model of special tax zones that can overcome these limitations on the basis of the concept of social tax incentives through an investigation on the possibilities left by the Altmark criteria and Article 106(2) Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU). The literature and other legal sources on the topic are analysed, including the main experiences of the Member States and the key aspects related to the ‘social services of general interest’. The article concludes with the presentation of the so-called ‘social cohesion zone’ as a new instrument for the EU cohesion policy based on social tax incentives, in accordance with the fundamental values of the treaties and the constitutional traditions of Member States. The final recommendation consequently addresses the adoption of a soft law instrument that can give evidence of the social cohesion zone within the field of EU tax law.

Background: In 2019, in Romania, a legislative event of special importance took place – the adoption of the Administrative Code. The scientific problem addressed in this article refers to the way in which the recently adopted Code realises the general regulation of public services respecting the best practices in order to create a good administration that is flexible and adaptable to the constantly changing needs of citizens today. Methods: This article investigates how the general regulation of public services in the Administrative Code is realised, taking into account the trends manifested in the field at the EU level and in comparative law. The categories of public services with which the EU operates (services of general economic interest, non-economic services, and social services of general interest) and the concept of universal service are highlighted. Then, the principles of organisation and functioning of public services in France, Germany, Italy, Spain, and the UK are investigated. In a separate section, the challenges and limitations in the regulation of local public services are analysed critically against the Administrative Code of Romania, starting from the regulation of the EU and the good practices observed in comparative law. Results and Conclusions: At the end of the article, I proposed we use the observations resulting from research on the Administrative Code to increase the degree of administrative convergence with the other member states of the EU.

Objectives: In the field of social services, the organizational culture today is defined mainly through professional values, for individual social service providers by vision, mission, goal, or organizational values. In the context of increasing the quality of services and culture supporting the clients’ wellbeing, the workers’ well-being is an important subject of interest. The aim of the research is to find out the current state of the documents defining the organizational culture of social services. Materials and Methods: Review and theoretical analysis of the literature on the topic. Qualitative content analysis of documents. Documents defining the organizational culture of social service providers in Slovakia were analysed. The documents on the provider’s web page encompassing vision, mission, goals, and values were found. Results: From the documents, it was found out that support to employees is still neglected. At the practical level, the support to employees was expressed as the support of education, supervision of employees, a social fund for cultural or sports activities, rewarding of employees. Employee s’ satisfaction or a committed approach towards employees were expressed rarely. Conclusions: The provision of social services today faces many demands and dilemmas that “social work services„ bring with them. Incorporating support for employee’s well-being into the organizational culture of social services can be an essential step towards better client care and higher quality services.

Two countries on the opposite side of the globe – Sweden and New Zealand– similarities and differences! This article is an introduction to the following articles about aspects of social services in Sweden. These articles, written from a Swedish perspectives and context, give some pictures of the welfare sector in the areas of elderly care, psychiatric care and disability care which hopefully will be of interest especially for New Zealand readers. To build the understanding of the Swedish model this introductory article starts with a theoretical approach to welfare systems. To understand the context in which services are delivered, it is necessary to both give some basic facts about the countries and about services – regulation, conditions, or- ganisations and implementation, including how services have developed historically and influenced the current situation – and to include comments and reflections from a New Zealand perspective. These external comments and reflections are also a way to broaden the interest and value for New Zealand readers as well as for international readers in general and, not least, Swedish readers.

Social media has the potential to be used by hospitals to play their role as health-promoting hospitals. By utilizing social media, hospitals can perform health prevention services at a reasonable cost. Nowadays, youths are more likely to suffer non-communicable diseases (NCD) like Diabetic Mellitus due to lifestyle changes that are sedentary. However, most youths consider that health promotion messages that already exist are unappealing. The purpose of this study is to determine the relevant strategy to deliver a health promotion message through social media that can captivate the youth’s interest. This study is a qualitative study with a phenomenology design. Data collection was carried out from three focus group discussions (FGD) that were selected by purposive and selective sampling methods. The data was then analyzed with the inductive theme analysis method. Triangulation and transferability tests were conducted to assess the validity of this study. Health promotion delivery must ensure that the message is attractive and easy to understand To expand the target audience's understanding. Health promotion should be done by considering what the message is, who the target is, what kind of content is, and on what platform. Besides, the content should be relevant, entertaining, credible, and easy to be understood.

Based on the research results, the article presents opinions of the representatives of social economy sector and local authorities on the current use of social clauses indicated in public procurement regulations, which are a tool oriented at increase of participation of the social economy sector in the public procurement market. The research confirms low usage of social clauses mechanism. The main constraints in use of these tools by local authorities include: lack of sufficient knowledge about social benefits arising from providing social services by social economy units and fear of using a legal measure that limits competition of entities operating on the free market. The respondents underline that information about the goals of social economy and the its potential are the basis for activities aimed at increasing interest in using the social clause mechanism.

The realization of fundamental human rights and freedoms guaranteed by the Constitution of the Republic of Croatia and international treaties is inconceivable without the establishment, organization and performance of activities or services which are considered to be of general social interest. Such activities may or may not be market-oriented. Market-oriented activities are those whose performance is aimed at making a profit or economically assessable benefits, while if this is not the case, the activity is considered non-market-oriented. Market-oriented activities of general social interest are most often performed by institutions and capital companies. The paper discusses the internal and external relations of these legal entities, in particular their structure, management, management supervision, assets, liability for obligations, and representation. Joint stock companies and limited liability companies are considered in contrast with “ordinary” and public institutions. After comparing these types of legal entities, an attempt is made at answering the fundamental question: which legal form is more appropriate for performing market-oriented activities of general social interest?

Purpose: This study examines the effectiveness of social work services designed to enhance resilience among migrant children in urban China. Methods: We selected four primary schools (i.e., two public and two private migrant schools) in the X District, Guangzhou City, China. A total of 461 valid samples were surveyed for analysis. Three regression models were employed to explain the influence of social work services on students’ resilience. Results: Social work services exert a positive and significant influence on the resilience of migrant children. Concretely, social work services in terms of educational activities, interest activities, and psychological counseling affected the resilience of migrant children after controlling for the impact of social capital, self-efficacy, and individual and household economic status. Moreover, students who participated in educational activities exhibit superior resilience. Discussion: Social work organizations should provide more participation opportunities and diversified service items to migrant children.

This Note reports some findings from a larger study we are embarked upon. Our broader objective is to develop a general theory of the national state's interest in cities in advanced industrial societies. We argue that state officials generally pursue their own interests in the protection and expansion of state power and resources and specifically have interest in the viability of cities, interests that do not simply reflect the interests of private capital or any other societal groups. A broad twofold distinction is made between those state activities necessary for the perpetuation of the state (maintenance of public order, legitimacy, durable political institutions, revenue base) and those necessary for the perpetuation of cities (provision of collective goods, developmental policies and social services). Space limitations preclude a full account and justification of these arguments here. Rather, we present some hypotheses about how such state interests should inform the allocation of funds across cities and report the findings of some initial empirical tests for the United States.

A policy of aging in place should be accompanied by physical and social environments that support healthy aging. This article describes how a property development company in Hong Kong sought to elicit the views of older people and their caregivers towards elderly services through a market research company, using questionnaire surveys followed by focus groups. Over 80% of all participants rated healthy dietary habits and exercise, maintaining mental and spiritual health, and maintaining a generally healthy lifestyle as important. Current health concerns include long waiting times for care at public hospitals, lack of carer should dependency occur, and lack of information about what services are available in the community. Interests in services in their neighbourhood include medical care (82%), healthy lifestyle activities (66%), and home care support (55%). There was considerable interest in the provision of services that improve brain and physical function, as well as general health checks. Carers were willing to pay more for services compared with older adults themselves. The findings inform the development of pilot models of aging in place as a sustainable financial model.

Islamic banking is an Islamic economic phenomenon that has become an alternative and increasingly popular with people around the world, including millennials. Not only to accommodate the interests of Muslims, but also to integrate personal interests and community benefits in a balanced form. Islamic banking in Indonesia is currently experiencing rapid development. As a country with the largest Muslim population in the world, Indonesia certainly has a very important role in building the Islamic economy. This can be used as a great opportunity by Bank Syariah Indonesia in optimizing its role to support the country's plan to develop Islamic finance in Indonesia. It can be seen that the number of customers at Bank Syariah Indonesia is still far from expectations when viewed from the large Muslim population in Indonesia. This indicates that there are still many Muslim residents in Indonesia who still do not use the services of Sharia Banks in Indonesia. This indicates that there are still many Muslim residents in Indonesia who still do not use the services of Sharia Banks in Indonesia. This can arise by several factors that are the reason why the Indonesian Muslim population is still reluctant to use the services of Bank Syariah Indonesia. The large gap between the Muslim population in Indonesia and the number of customers of Bank Syariah Indonesia is one of the attractions for researchers to conduct an analysis of the Factors Influencing Public Interest in Saving at Bank Syariah Indonesia (BSI).Interest can be interpreted as an interest or tendency to choose what is desired. One example is the interest and tendency towards interest in saving, for example a religiously inclined person will choose Islamic banks over conventional banks because based on Islamic religious law which prohibits his people from transacting ribawi (interest). According to (crow & crow 1998) states that there are six that affect interest, namely: income factors, job stability factors, financial goal factors, risk avoidance factors, knowledge factors, social and cultural environmental factors.While the author in conducting this study used descriptive qualitative methods with data collection techniques used was to conduct structured interviews to the community with the help of research instruments in the form of mobile phone cameras as photo documentation and recordings during interviews with the people of Bandung City which at this time became a source of research information. The results obtained from research conducted by the author to the people of Bandung city resulted in income, risk avoidance / security factors and social and cultural environmental factors are factors for people interested in saving their money in Indonesian Islamic banks (BSI).

Full textAbstract:
The article notes that the loyalty of the staff is of great interest in science. The interest in loyalty is just as high among the management of organizations, which is not due to the simple socio-economic conditions in which Russian business finds itself. Great interest in loyalty also opens up a research problem: loyalty programs developed at enterprises do not always ensure that loyalty is maintained at the proper level. This article is devoted to the resolution of this problem. In it, the author proposes a set of tools for regulating the loyalty of personnel in an organization. Tools by themselves do not have a regulatory effect on loyalty. In order for the tools to start functioning, a structure is needed that uses them. As such a structure, usually, there are divisions of personnel management services, sometimes, such a structure may be a trade union loyal to the organization. The main mission of the structure that regulates the loyalty of personnel is the implementation of the principle: to serve one’s company with interest. Such a principle is unlikely to ever be fully realized. But this is a very important social landmark of the company, to which it is necessary to set the employees. At the same time, like any social landmark, it is effective as long as the individual associates his personal success with it. The success of an organization’s loyalty programs depends to a large extent on the valid use of loyalty tools by the structures designed in organizations to regulate loyalty. The validity of loyalty instruments depends on how much they correspond to the goals of the company and the conditions for the implementation of this company’s business.
