Full of morbid humour and painfully honest narrations, Laura Hird’s stories— mainly set in the city of Edinburgh— deal with relationships of power, family values and her narratives always offer her unique view on the city she was born in and its people. Through these stories, she presents her unparalleled perspective on the beauty of some of the city’s hidden locations which are not portrayed by others. As she mentions in Dear Laura, Hird considers herself to be a ‘constipated romantic’, and that is simply a great way to summarise her work, as her way of portraying life through writing is not always pleasant, yet ever phenomenal. While her first published work allowed her to be included amongst a group of male authors; her first story collection and her novel roared originality and offered a different city of Edinburgh, and her last collection put the cherry on top with yet more uncomfortably true stories about queer Scottishness as part of her urban observations.

The present work was carried out by teachers of the Universidad Autonoma de Coahuila, its objective was to design an instrument to evaluate the abuse of the elderly in the city of Saltillo, Coahuila, to implement with the results obtained, social service programs that provide information on violence in the elderly, identify behaviors of the aggressor, observer and victim, as well as know their fundamental rights and institutions to go to. The instrument was applied at the Geriatric Hospital, 35 older adults participated, aged between 60 and 90 years. It was inspired by the Psychometric Validation of the questionnaire “This is how we get along in school”, and the Questionnaire prepared by INAPAM and SEDESOL, of both instruments resulted in the adaptation consisting of 35 reagents, dispersed in 4 factors: physical, psychological, damage to the property and financial, and sexual harassment. The results show that there is abuse in this group, of 19%, although its manifestation is not very marked, if there is one, corroborating what other studies say that this health problem is silent, by the person of the third age by loyalty to family values or for fear of reprisals from the person who takes care of him.

The article explores the feminine images of Martha from D. Hnatko’s novel «The Impious Soul» and Irena from N. Gurnitskaya’s novel «The Рurple Colour of Eternity» against the background of historical events. The actions in D. Hnatko’s novel take place at the beginning of the eighteenth century in the Left Bank Ukraine – in Poltava, in the city of Baturin, in Kiev. The author highlights the events related to the Baturyn tragedy and the Battle of Poltava. In the novel by N. Gurnitskaya the events covering all the twentieth century are reproduced as well as the modern time, namely pre-war pre-Soviet Lviv, Lviv during the Second World War, modern Lviv and Kiev with events on the Maidan. The author notes that the work is dedicated to her grandmother's sister, Anna Lozynsky (Burdan), and to all families who were repressed by the Stalinist regime. Against the background of these dramatic events for Ukraine, the complicated life of the main characters of the novels is shown. Martha's hardships are losing children, disappointment in love, feeling sick for the fate of sisters, mental anguish over hatred of her father, contemplating the terrible destruction of Baturin, perceiving war as a divorce, rescuing beloved man. The main meaning of life for Martha was love. Irenа studied in a private women’s gymnasium, loved to draw and had many plans, but fate prepared for the test: the loss of first love, the troubled times of the Soviets in Lviv, the arrest of beloved husband, the inhuman tortures of the Stalinist, burial of the eldest daughter and unsuccessful search for the younger daughter. Irena had a good family, a caring husband and children, but because of obstacles she could not achieve the desired happiness. These complicated destinies of Martha and Irena intertwined with those of other Ukrainians and are the expressions of the sufferings that have befallen these generations in different historical periods. The image of Martha shows the transition from a patriarchal representation of a woman to a strong-willed woman who defies social norms in the struggle for her feminine happiness. Martha is the prototype of Irena, which is the result of the evolution of the role of women in society. Martha has a rebellious temper, and therefore strives to choose her own destiny, even though she sees her happiness in love and motherhood. Irena is socially active, responsible for her life, unbreakable in all circumstances of life. Martha and Irena are found to embody the images of «woman-mother» and «beloved woman», since their existential need is precisely family values. This component forms a special spiritual atmosphere in the novels and presents the mentality of the Ukrainian people. Historical novels are an artistic reflection of the past, and they also enable to get acquainted with some tragic pages of the Ukrainian history. Therefore, they have their special value on the way to developing self-awareness of the Ukrainian nation.

The Court of Appeals of New York held, in Council of the City of New York u. Giuliani, slip op. 02634, 1999 WL 179257 (N.Y. Mar. 30, 1999), that New York City may not privatize a public city hospital without state statutory authorization. The court found invalid a sublease of a municipal hospital operated by a public benefit corporation to a private, for-profit entity. The court reasoned that the controlling statute prescribed the operation of a municipal hospital as a government function that must be fulfilled by the public benefit corporation as long as it exists, and nothing short of legislative action could put an end to the corporation's existence.In 1969, the New York State legislature enacted the Health and Hospitals Corporation Act (HHCA), establishing the New York City Health and Hospitals Corporation (HHC) as an attempt to improve the New York City public health system. Thirty years later, on a renewed perception that the public health system was once again lacking, the city administration approved a sublease of Coney Island Hospital from HHC to PHS New York, Inc. (PHS), a private, for-profit entity.
