Abstract
This paper analyses the post-soviet transformation of the institutions providing health care in the Ukraine, basing the study on various statistical tables. It addresses the lack of interest in the transformation of these institutions and lists reasons for this lack of interest. It discusses the change in management structure in the light of the basic economic indicators for the Ukraine. It tackles the problem of corruption in Ukrainian organizations, looks at the changes in the sources of finance of health-care and deals with the additional costs borne by patients. The paper concludes that the current situation concerning health-care is absolutely adequate to the general situation in the Ukrainian economy and that the reforms are unnecessary.
From the Paper
"There has been a noticeable lack of interest of western observers and reformers in the multiple transitions in health care in post-Soviet societies. The Ukraine is not an exclusion, since the country?s economy is obviously the major reason of all the problems it is witnessing nowadays. Therefore, in the western debate mostly the changes in the other sectors are considered. In, politics, for example, the emphasis has been made on the shift from dictatorship towards democracy. In economics, the focus is mainly stuck on transformation from centrally planned system to capitalism, or market economy, as well as on the inclusion in global markets. Moreover, in foreign policy, the attention is drawn to the implementation of openness to Europe from the suspicious attitude that existed before. Recently, interest has also extended to the phenomenon of crime and corruption in post-Soviet countries."

Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that the question over who should care for children is once again being debated throughout North America, with many advocating that very young children be raised with either their mothers or a close member of the family instead of attending child care centers. The writer discusses research indicating that the poor quality of care given in existing centers throughout the United States is the reason for problems within the classroom, as children who attend these care centers are believed to have both development and social problems. The writer concludes that the important point of the debate over child care should be how to ensure quality care for children whose parents have to work, or have chosen to work, through understanding and enabling effective and positive child development and growth within center-based childcare.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"The changes in society over the past few decades have completely transformed the contemporary world, mainly through the consequences of warfare and the recent advancements in technology, which has also changed the lives of women. Accounting for almost half of the nation's workforce, a vast majority of them either are already mothers or will be, which means that something needs to be done about the childcare situation in America. Although center-based childcare is not, perhaps, the ideal situation for mothers and their children, most parents have little choice."

Abstract
This paper focuses on the quality of care delivered by various forms of managed care organizations and fee-for-service organizations as reported by numerous recent studies.
From the Paper
"There is a current climate of distrust and frustration with managed care which has led many people to question whether health maintenance organizations (HMOs) and other forms of managed care really are looking out for the best interests of their patients. Managed care plans have incentives in place which reward physicians and other health service providers for providing fewer services or less costly solutions. With American society?s negative feelings toward managed care medical practices, questions about the quality of care provided by various managed care institutions have been raised. The fact that managed care enrollment has been increasing while at the same time growth in total healthcare expenditures has been declining only serves to increase the frequency of questions about the quality of healthcare provided by managed care organizations. This paper will focus on the quality of care delivered by various forms of managed care organizations and fee-for-service organizations as reported by numerous recent studies."

Abstract
The paper discusses how the EU constitutes an important international actor, exercising both passive and active leverage force on its neighbours who aspire to join the Union. The paper illustrates the difficulties Ukraine faces in acquiring full EU membership. The paper, however, describes the positive change in European rhetoric towards Ukraine in recent years as well as Ukraine's intensification of cooperation at top political levels. The paper maintains that the past track of EU-Ukraine interaction should be left behind, as Ukraine now embarks on a series of new domestic reforms under the guidance of European values.

From the Paper
"The existence of borders is rarely unchallenged - by the end of 1990s there appeared new lines of division on the continent between an almost united Europe and the rest. After the European Union (EU) enlargement in May 2004, Europe's political boundaries still do not coincide with its geographic ones and Ukraine is very active in attempting to regain its rightful place in Europe. According to Avery, 'the term ''Europe'' has not been officially defined. It combines geographical, historical and cultural elements, all of them constitutive of the European identity. The common experience of proximity, values and historical interaction cannot be gathered in a simple formula and should be revised by each new generation. Therefore, the Commission estimates that establishing the frontiers of the European Union, whose limits will be redefined in the next years, is neither possible nor opportune' (Avery, 1992, p. 11)."

Abstract
This paper investigates the role of primary care nurse practitioners in respect to health care and health care reform. The failure of primary healthcare is critically assessed, in the respect that health care is currently "managed" by independent "for- profit" organizations, where there is an emphasis on financial success rather than patient welfare. This paper also places a strong emphasis on the role of nurse care practitioners in the state of Florida and in community health care clinics.

Abstract
This paper attempts to analyse the interaction between E.U. and Ukraine since its independence in 1992. The material is collected through review of literature, policy papers as well as personal interviews with policy makers and scholars in Ukraine and Europe. It argues that, given the constellation of factors, the sluggishness of cooperation process between the E.U. and Ukraine was partially justified by the realities of Kuchma regime and the E.U.'s agenda at that time. It also looks at how the election of Victor Yuschenko in December 2004 signifies a new era in mutual relations, which requires much more intensive cooperation on both sides.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Visitors should be well prepared before they make a visit to Ukraine. They need to realize the fact that there aren't many facilities over there. The healthcare system is pretty substandard. There is a shortage of hospital beds, medications and supplies. The hospitals also lack a lot of advanced medical technology. It would be a good idea for a visitor to get HIV tested before leaving for Ukraine."

Abstract
Nursing care was developed, in part, to provide services to patients with multiple needs and evolved with the initial goals of providing efficient and effective care. Among the delivery systems used to provide this care include primary nursing, primary care, and primary health care. Primary nursing originated in the United States and emerged because of concern about the fragmented care patients were receiving particularly in hospital settings. Primary health care follows many of the same principles and is concerned with providing comprehensive, individualized, patient care from point of contact to completion. Primary care may be defined as a service provided by primary nurses and primary health care physicians. The similarities and differences between these concepts are explored in detail.
From the Paper
"According to Sergei Vinogradov (2002) primary health care or PHC is "based on family health teams, working in family health centers" whose goals include prioritizing prevention and addressing 90% of health problems and patient concerns (p.39). In primary health care systems, doctors bear the brunt of the responsibility, sometimes at the expense of efficiency according to some critics (Vinogradov, 2002). PHC teams are comprised of many individuals including medicine doctors, nurses and other relevant health professionals, but it is the doctor (usually a family doctor) that bears the brunt of accountability and responsibility in terms of patient care (Vinogradov, 2002).
Primary health care is often provided in a managed care setting which requires that a centralized medical decision be made by a primary care physician, thus enhancing according to some the 'attractiveness' of care, suggesting it is quality oriented and scientifically based (Brekke, et. al, 2002). Primary health care usually is offered in hospitals and primary medical offices, less so in community based settings."

Abstract
This paper examines issues of inter-ethnic coexistence in the Ukraine and in particular the Donbass Basin by illustrating that history matters in terms of ethnic composition and political preferences. It attempts to reconstruct the historical picture of the major ethnic groups living in Donbass in order to examine what social, political and cultural experiences they have gained during the centuries of their habitation in the area of modern Ukraine. It looks at the process through which the ethnic make-up of the area was determined, focusing on the delineation of particular groups? histories and traces the evolution of the minority issue under Soviet rule, as a factor that influenced the levels of their self-assertiveness which obviously matters under the new political conditions. It also analyzes major questions of inter-ethnic co-existence and cultural autonomy, on the level of state politics and mass public perception.
From the Paper
"When looking at the development of any young independent states, among the matters of special concern is the problem of the relationship between integration processes and the in-depth development of particular ethnic groups and regions. In staking out its claim of sovereignty and at the same time insisting on getting its own way, the multi-ethnic national state places itself in an embarrassing realm of double standards and therefore often becomes susceptible to quite a distressing level of internal torment. And yet some of the governments in question endeavor to implement liberal approaches, founded on the principle of preserving a balance between the prerogatives of the state and the priorities of the regions; and between the Nation?s codes and the interests of the various ethnic groups in the population."
