Abstract:

Many of the patterns of genetic variation we observe today have arisen via the complex dynamics of interactions and isolation of historic human populations. In this thesis, we focus on two important features of the genetics of populations that can be used to learn about human history: population structure and admixture. The Iberian peninsula has a complex demographic history, as well as rich linguistic and cultural diversity. However, previous studies using small genomic regions (such as Y-chromosome and mtDNA) as well as genome-wide data have so far detected limited genetic structure in Iberi

Abstract:

Empowered patient or empowered physician. An analysis of the importance of the gatekeeper in the health delivery system. This paper examines the important role of the gatekeeper in the health delivery system. A simple theoretical model is developed which compares the resource allocation when physicians act as gatekeepers with the decisions taken when patients are empowered. It is shown that even when there is no asymmetry of information---and so patients and doctors are equally able to identify the appropriate therapy---that the institutional arrangement matters. Patients demand more time with

Abstract:

We are trying to bring attention and focus on the important role the nursing profession plays in improving patient’s experience and outcomes. Nurses are best positioned at the center of information exchanges and play critical through their routine interventions. Tasks that are often perceived as simple routine tasks, like: care planning, medication reconciliation, communications with the patient and other professionals, discharge instructions and education, are the very foundation of the successful care coordination intervention.

Health care system reforming in Ukraine is one of the priorities of modern social policy and an integral part of social and economic reorganization of Ukrainian state as a whole.

The programme and other policy documents define ways and mechanism of the reforms, namely: structural reorganization of the field, demarcation of medical care between the levels (primary, secondary and tertiary); bed capacity optimization.

Abstract:

Background: Symptomatic heart failure is a chronic and disabling condition that affects over 350 000 Canadians and is characterized by inevitable progression. Historically, research on the ways to increase survival has focused on biomedical factors. However, the continued poor prognosis of heart failure has prompted the search for other ways to improve the lives of these patients. Research in other chronic conditions demonstrates that social circumstances, described collectively as individual social interactions (e.g. social support, social participation) and community social factors (e.g. soc

Abstract:

Regular physical activity reduces the risk of many chronic diseases. Consequently, the promotion of it and particular types (e.g. walking and cycling for travel), have become a priority for governments seeking to improve health and constrain rising demand on health services. Despite this many uncertainties persist. The aim of this thesis is to address two particular areas of uncertainty: a) the association of walking and cycling for travel with indices of health and well-being; b) and the extent to which increases in physical activity will reduce need for health and social care.
