Depression, anxiety, and stress from substance-use disorder among family members in Iceland:

Provisions and patterns of care for older people have recently undergone significant change all over Europe (Ranci and Pavolini, 2013). Many European nations have been reaching out for innovations in care as their populations continue to age at an increasing speed and new models are clearly necessary in order to deal with growing needs (Leichsenring et al., 2013; Gori et al., 2016). On the one hand, countries like Spain (Deusdad et al., 2016a) and Ireland (Timonen et al., 2012), which earlier had not been particularly active in developing long-term care, have launched new policies and, on the other hand, countries that had introduced care policies earlier, like Britain and the Nordic countries, have been reforming their provisions (Anttonen and Karsio, in this volume; Yeandle, 2016). At the same time, countries in Central Eastern Europe have been trying to depart from an overly institution-based provision, that is, from the legacy of the socialist period (Kubalčíková et al., in this volume). One issue that has been prominent in reform efforts is the redefinition of the ‘vertical division of authority’ or ‘re-scaling of responsibility’ between local and central government (see Martinelli, Chapter 1, as well as Sabatinelli and Semprebon, in this volume; Kazepov, 2010). The European Union has also been searching for a role in long-term care policy, attempting to influence policy-making in member states at least indirectly (see Gómez-Barroso et al., in this volume). In addition, the development of care systems has been affected by the progress of neo-liberal thinking and NPM-inspired governance models (see Martinelli, Chapter 1, in this volume). However, the conditions of policy-making were changed radically when the financial crisis spread to Europe in 2008. Many national economies were hit hard, especially in Southern Europe. Progressive policy reforms were halted in a number of policy fields, also in care for older people, and

Care for older people in early twenty-first-century Europe: dimensions and directions of change

Class analysis is one of the main areas of sociology and intersects with most other sub-fields. Class analysis refers to the theoretical perspective that is grounded in empirical research on the various manifestations of class division. In Iceland, class analysis of modern society can be traced back to the mid-20th century, but this field of inquiry did not gain a foothold in this country until the late 1970s and early 1980s. There was limited study of contemporary class dynamics over the next two decades, but Icelandic class analysis has enjoyed a resurgence since the 2008 economic collapse. This article discusses class analysis as a sub-field of sociology and reviews Icelandic class research, particularly in the social sciences. This is not an exhaustive review. Instead, I review many of the main studies of class in Iceland since the dawn of modernization around the turn of the 20th century against the backdrop of international class analysis and empirical data. The multifaceted class concept and the main approaches of class analysis are the focus of the first section. The discussion of Icelandic class research in the second part is divided into five themes: class structure, class politics, class inequality, class consciousness, and class culture. In the conclusion, I sum up and discuss the sub-field’s future prospects.

Meginmarkmið rannsoknarinnar sem her er kynnt var að kanna fjolskylduanaegju og samskipti milli fjolskyldumeðlima þegar einstaklingur innan fjolskyldu misnotar vimuefni. Tvo maelitaeki, anaegjukvarði fjolskyldu, Family Satisfaction Scale , og  samskiptakvarði fjolskyldu, Family Communication Scale , voru logð fyrir 115 þatttakendur i byrjun fjogurra vikna fjolskylduhopmeðferðar hja SAA fra oktober 2014 til juni 2015. Athugað var hversu anaegðir aðstandendur voru með fjolskyldu sina og hvernig þeir matu samskipti innan hennar. Einnig var skoðað hvort munur vaeri a meðaltali kvarðanna um anaegju og samskipti eftir þvi hver er vimuefnasjukur: Foreldri aðstandandans, systkin, maki eða barn. I heild upplifðu þatttakendur litla anaegju innan fjolskyldu sinnar, og hofðu ahyggjur baeði af tengslum innan hennar og af samskiptum fjolskyldumeðlima. Jafnframt kom fram að þatttakendur sem komu i fjolskylduhopmeðferð vegna vimuefnaneyslu foreldris upplifðu minni fjolskylduanaegju og samskipti innan fjolskyldunnar en þeir sem komu i meðferðina vegna maka, barns eða systkinis.

The question of declining membership of non-profit organizations (NPOs) has been central in academic discussion and research has indicated changes in the way people volunteer. Less emphasis has been on the functions of volunteers as a resource for NPOs and how changes such as increased reliance on professionals in their operations can influence the volume and type of volunteering. This paper examines the value of volunteers as a resource for Icelandic NPOs in the field of welfare services. It is based on a study of the majority of active Icelandic NPOs in the welfare field, as well as an analysis of their respective websites. The findings show that volunteer contributions do not constitute a significant part of the activities of most Icelandic NPOs in welfare services. Apart from membership of boards, volunteers seem to be used primarily as a means of supplementing other resources, such as temporary fundraising efforts. However, the level of volunteering varies according to the size and operational type of organization.

Volunteers for NPOs in Welfare Services in Iceland: A Diminishing Resource?

The main objective of this study was to analyze to what extent young people show an inclination to
accept some sacrifice in their career progression in the future in order to reach a better work-family
balance. In particular it addresses the question of to what degree differences remain (on average)
between young females and males in this field. In order to do so we are using data from a survey
(�Survey on social values and labor expectations of university students�) conducted among a sample
of 2392 university students who attended three universities: University of Nairobi, University of
Iceland, and Complutense University of Madrid.
After building a set of indicators (scales) about career and family involvement aspirations of
respondents, and after conducting a statistical and regression analysis, this study has managed to
provide empirical evidence about the fact that young women (on average) still have a greater
predisposition than young men to make sacrifices in the future in their working careers in order to
achieve a better work-family balance. Moreover, having a high degree of leadership aspirations and
belonging to an egalitarian household tend to reduce the inclination to sacrifice career opportunities,
whereas having a high inclination to be involved in childcare in the future and having the perception
of a future work-family conflict tend to increase it. Gender attitudes have a differential effect on
female and male students: Having traditional gender attitudes tends to increase the inclination to
sacrifice career opportunities in the case of female students and reduce it in the case of male
students.
