Problems in Social and Health Care Services of People with Dementia in Finland: Formal Rights and Lived Experiences of Access to Justice in a Welfare State
Since age is the most important risk factor for dementia and the number of aged people in Western countries is increasing, so also the population living with dementia is growing. This sets new demands on the welfare society, and previous studies have shown that many older people do not receive the help they need. In this article, we report on the findings of a survey focused on people with dementia and their family members, concentrating on every…

EU delegations as intermediaries of perceptions of the EU: A view from the Mena region
The European Commission in its 2015 study on the perceptions of the EU acknowledged that mutual perceptions held by actors in the international arena affect their expectations about the other's behaviour and hereby guide the interpretation of the other's actions. Knowledge of how and what image of the MENA countries and of the EU is conveyed by country delegations is important for understanding whether the information that influences EU foreign p…
Achieving the goals – an analysis of irregular migrants’ possibilities to transform their space-times in Finland
This article demonstrates the usefulness of time-geographic approach in research with irregular migrants. Time-geographic approach acknowledges individual space-times as being assembled of multiple elements (e.g. housing, the Internet, friend, fear, legal status). Through an ethnographic research with 50 irregular migrants in Finland, I demonstrate how these irregular migrants try to transform their space-times in order to overcome the adversitie…
On multiple spacetimes in the everyday lives of irregular migrants in Finland
This article explores how multiple layers of spacetimes overlap and merge in individuals' lives and relationships, transforming, enhancing, and/or hampering their abilities to interact with the environment. Drawing upon content-analysed ethnographic notes, the article investigates the case of irregular migrants in Finland. It shows how their past activities, practices, and relationships, as well as their hopes and fears for the future, materially…
Understanding the affects in street children's lives in Pelotas, Brazil
This longitudinal qualitative research explores the significance of affects in the lives of children and young people on the streets of Pelotas, Brazil. Affects have not previously been examined in depth in a street context, despite their impact on the experiences and behaviour of street children. Street affects emerge in and through encounters between the human and non-human elements of the urban environment. When a set of affects arise and endu…
Constraints, Incentives and Pockets of Local Order on the Streets of Pelotas, Brazil
This article investigates the life experiences of 19 young people on the streets of Pelotas, southern Brazil. Manifold methods were used revealing several highly interconnected aspects in their realities. This study, which was conducted for a period of seven years (2009–2016), illustrates how the studied street youths form their environments physically, socially and mentally in order to reach their goals and create the multiple means of survival …
Place attachment among children in a street situation in Pelotas, Brazil
This article explores the processes which affect street children and youths’ relationships with the place called the ‘streets’. The street as a place to live is violent and hostile. However, street dwellers aspire to see the street environment positively. In fact, being able to establish a positive relationship with the street, to become attached to it, is crucial for coping within it. In this research, longitudinal qualitative data concentrating…
Street children's lives and actor-networks
This article investigates the street-children phenomenon and their view of street life as actor-networks in Pelotas, Brazil. Street children manipulate actor-networks to reach their life goals. They physically approach certain actors and withdraw from others. To explore this phenomenon, I acquired qualitative data about the lives of 19 street children over 7 years. Manifold methods were utilised: observation, interviews, poems, walkabouts and dra…
