https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9474-3563Replaced AM with VoR 2021-10-21Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) disproportionately affect people living in fragile contexts marked by poor governance and health systems struggling to deliver quality services for the benefit of all. This combination can lead to the erosion of trust in the health system, affecting health-seeking behaviours and the ability of individuals to sustain their health. In this cross-country multiple-case study, we analyse the role of trust in health-seeking for NCD services in fragile contexts. Our analysis triangulates multiple data sources, including semi-structured interviews (n=102) and Group Model Building workshops (n=8) with individuals affected by NCDs and health providers delivering NCD services. Data were collected in Freetown and Makeni (Sierra Leone), Beirut and Beqaa (Lebanon), and Morazán, Chalatenango and Bajo Lempa (El Salvador) between April 2018 and April 2019. We present a conceptual model depicting key dynamics and feedback loops between contextual factors, institutional, interpersonal and social trust and health-seeking pathways. Our findings signal that firstly, the way health services are delivered and experienced shapes institutional trust in health systems, interpersonal trust in health providers and future health-seeking pathways. Secondly, historical narratives about public institutions and state authorities’ responses to contextual fragility drivers impact institutional trust and utilisation of services from public health institutions. Thirdly, social trust mediates health-seeking behaviour through social bonds and links between health systems and individuals affected by NCDs. Given the repeated and sustained utilisation of health services required with these chronic diseases, (re)building and maintaining trust in public health institutions and providers is a crucial task in fragile contexts. This requires interventions at community, district and national levels, with a key focus on promoting links and mutual accountability between health systems and communities affected by NCDs.This research was funded by the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) Global Health Research programme 16/136/100.https://doi.org/10.1016/j.socscimed.2021.114473291pubpu

Measuring a university's environmental performance : a standardized proposal for carbon footprint assessment
No full textThe global contribution of all kinds of organizations to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions is noteworthy. Calculating, reporting, reducing, and compensating for carbon footprints are the appropriate steps to take to guide companies toward a path that is compatible with their country's objectives for the fulfillment of the Paris Agreement. In Latin American countries, carbon footprint reporting is limited and incipient. This paper aims to start closing this gap by assessing the carbon footprint of a university operating in the city of Bogotá, Colombia. Based on a city input-output table (IOT) nested in a multiregional input-output (MRIO) table framework, we estimate the three categories of the carbon footprint (scopes 1, 2, and 3) identified by the Greenhouse Gas Protocol using an improved multiregional tiered hybrid analysis of the university's energy and other input expenditures. Our results show that 94% of the entire institution's footprint is attributed to scope 3, which represents indirect emissions linked to the upstream value chain. The results allow us to identify emission hotspots and their impact on the supply chain, which can be helpful for reducing costs and encouraging organizations, users, and suppliers to make more sustainable decisions.https://orcid.org/0000-0002-2098-8525https://orcid.org/0000-0001-8622-7860https://orcid.org/0000-0001-6595-2799https://orcid.org/0000-0001-7953-9006https://www.scopus.com/authid/detail.uri?authorId=57202852455https://www.scopus.com/authid/detail.uri?authorId=57192420981https://www.scopus.com/authid/detail.uri?authorId=12761342500https://www.scopus.com/authid/detail.uri?authorId=5536305720
Closing the academy–Business gap by building intellectual capital in professional formation
No full textThe rapid advances in technology, market pressures, globalization, and, recently, the COVID-19 pandemic show the need to find educational models that respond to these realities while improving the employability levels of young people and promoting economic growth. This research analyzes how the professional formation model, where two learning spaces, the academy, and the company, are combined, promotes the closing of gaps and economic growth, through the development of intellectual capital that arises from this relationship, in an emerging economy such as Colombia.https://orcid.org/0000-0003-3056-1303https://orcid.org/0000-0003-2548-3232https://orcid.org/0000-0001-5572-4856https://orcid.org/0000-0002-1588-0624https://www.scopus.com/authid/detail.uri?authorId=57015469100https://www.scopus.com/authid/detail.uri?authorId=5722120683
A 2020 perspective on “Spreading the word : how customer experience in a traditional retail setting influences consumer traditional and electronic word-of-mouth intention”
No full textThe convergence of the brick and mortar and online worlds is now more prominent than ever. It is becoming increasingly difficult to operate exclusively in one of these two environments. While physical stores provide retailers with a unique opportunity to deliver unique in-store experiences that can also leverage their online features, online retailers are also establishing a presence in the physical world to supplement the experience offered online. Therefore, understanding how consumers behave in each of these environments and how these behaviors are expressed across both worlds has become increasingly important to marketers managing omnichannel operations. Only by providing a complete experience to the consumer from all possible contact points will retailers be able to achieve their omnichannel goals.https://orcid.org/0000-0001-8210-1742https://orcid.org/0000-0002-6594-5940https://orcid.org/0000-0001-5153-1475https://orcid.org/0000-0003-4693-6907https://www.scopus.com/authid/detail.uri?authorId=57194709751https://www.scopus.com/authid/detail.uri?authorId=57202849705https://www.scopus.com/authid/detail.uri?authorId=25655619900https://www.scopus.com/authid/detail.uri?authorId=1572809980
Family firms and financial performance : the cost of growing
No full textThis study examines the relationship between financial performance and family involvement for 523 listed and non-listed Colombian firms over 1996–2006. Using a detailed database and performing several panel data regression models, we find that family firms exhibit better financial performance on average than non-family firms when the founder is still involved in operations, although this effect decreases with firm size. With heirs in charge, there is no statistical difference in financial performance. Both direct and indirect ownership (control through pyramidal ownership structures within family business groups) affect firms' financial performance positively. However, this positive effect decreases with firm size. The results suggest that some kinds of family involvement appear to make firm growth expensive.https://orcid.org/0000-0002-8675-6911https://orcid.org/0000-0001-7675-048Xhttps://orcid.org/0000-0001-9638-0586https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9592-7890https://www.scopus.com/authid/detail.uri?authorId=17434254200https://www.scopus.com/authid/detail.uri?authorId=55207224400https://www.scopus.com/authid/detail.uri?authorId=6603836065https://www.scopus.com/authid/detail.uri?authorId=5520641670
Family involvement and dividend policy in closely held firms
No full textThis article examines the effects of family involvement on dividend policy in closely held firms that face agency problems involving majority?minority shareholders. We argue that minority shareholders press for dividends when they perceive situations fostering wealth expropriation. Looking at 458 Colombian companies, we find that family involvement in management does not affect dividend policy; family involvement in both ownership and control through pyramids affects dividend policy negatively; and family involvement in control through disproportionate board representation affects dividend policy positively. Thus, family influence on agency problems, and hence on dividend policy as a mitigating mechanism, varies depending on family involvement.https://orcid.org/0000-0002-8675-6911https://orcid.org/0000-0001-7675-048Xhttps://orcid.org/0000-0001-9638-0586https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9592-7890https://www.scopus.com/authid/detail.uri?authorId=17434254200https://www.scopus.com/authid/detail.uri?authorId=55207224400https://www.scopus.com/authid/detail.uri?authorId=6603836065https://www.scopus.com/authid/detail.uri?authorId=5520641670
