Gender gap in self-rated health: a cohort perspective in eastern European countries

Background: The relationship between self-rated health and gender differs across countries and generations. The aim of this study is to analyze the effect of socioeconomic conditions on self-rated health from a generational perspective, its differential effect on gender, and its influence on the gender gap in order to explore health diversity using a multidisciplinary approach and considering policy implications in Eastern European countries. Methods: We used data drawn from the European Health Interview Survey for eight Eastern European countries and EUROSTAT from 2006 through to 2009. We conducted multilevel analyses to understand the individual and national health determinants of self-rated health by gender and to determine whether national differences remain after controlling for micro variables. In order to analyze the role of equity (Gini quartile) in gender differences, Oaxaca analyses were used. Results: The self-rated health gender gap increases with age. Individual characteristics, such as educational level or smoking, influence citizens’ perceived health, and have a stronger effect on women than on men. Knowing both the characteristics (endowment effects) and the effects of individual characteristics (coefficient effects) on health is important in order to understand gender gaps among people from the silent generation. Conclusions: Our research indicates that random effects are greater for men than for women. Moreover, random effects might be explained to a certain extent by economic equity (Gini index). The combined effects of gender, cohort, and geographical differences on self-rated health have to be taken into account to develop public health policies. © 2022 by the authors.

El voluntariado universitario en el marco de la Responsabilidad Social Universitaria. Estudio de un Campus, Universidad de Zaragoza

El voluntariado universitario es un tipo de actividad que forma parte de la Responsabilidad Social Universitaria. El trabajo analiza la rela-ción entre la realización de voluntariado estudiantil y las motivacio-nes para ser voluntario y profundiza en los ámbitos de interés de los universitarios para realizar voluntariado. Un total de 680 estudiantes universitarios de un Campus de la Universidad de Zaragoza cumpli-mentaron un cuestionario. El análisis muestra diferencias en la moti-vación para ser voluntario entre los estudiantes que al cumplimentar el cuestionario eran voluntarios y los que no lo eran, y también que la titulación cursada afecta al ámbito de interés.

Governança no Terceiro Setor: Estudo em Associações e Fundações Privadas Sem Fins Lucrativos do Segmento Meio Ambiente Com Atuação no Brasil

O objetivo deste trabalho de doutoramento foi investigar a influência da governança corporativa no recebimento de doações, em particular, de receitas operacionais vinculadas, no contexto das entidades do terceiro setor com atuação no Brasil, sob a perspectiva analítica da teoria da agência. Observou-se essa lacuna de pesquisa, apesar da inegável contribuição dos estudos anteriores, devido ao foco das investigações residir nos possíveis efeitos dos mecanismos de governança, e não na governança como construção latente, e à carência de estudos empíricos no contexto brasileiro. As unidades de análise escolhidas foram as associações e fundações privadas sem fins lucrativos do segmento meio ambiente com atuação no Brasil. Os dados foram coletados por meio de levantamento documental, sendo a amostra composta por 108 observações. Assumindo como proxy de governança a presença de 21 mecanismos de governança na estrutura organizacional das entidades, que emergiram da revisão da literatura, foi identificada por meio de análise de correspondência múltipla a estrutura subjacente de governança, composta por seis dimensões: Conselho de Administração, Gestão, Conselho Fiscal, Auditoria, Transparência e Prestação de Contas. A partir dessa estrutura subjacente foi verificado, por meio da técnica Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling, que a governança, tomada como construto de 2ª ordem refletido pelos construtos de 1ª ordem que compõe essa estrutura subjacente de governança, impactou positivamente o recebimento de recursos vinculados. Adicionalmente verificou-se que a distinção da entidade (OS, OSCIP ou CEBAS) não moderou a relação entre governança e recebimento de recursos vinculados. Os resultados deste trabalho representam um avanço nos estudos sobre governança no terceiro setor ao evidenciar que a governança contribui para que as entidades do terceiro setor tenham acesso mais fácil a mercado de doação, especialmente considerando que as organizações doadoras não responderam favoravelmente à distinção da entidade

Fiesta, juego y didactismo en el contexto navideño áureo: dos autos al nacimiento de Cristo en la «Nochebuena» de Cosme Gómez de Tejada y de los Reyes

The autos about the Christ’s Birth have received less attention than those known as their “older brothers”: The sacramental autos. As a contribution to filling this gap, this article briefly presents the work Nochebuena. Autos al nacimiento del Hijo de Dios con sus loas, villancicos, bailes y sainetes para cantar al propósito, written by Cosme Gómez de Tejada y de los Reyes at the beginning of the 17th Century, and analyzes two of the four autos that integrate this work. This will allow us to establish that the author, from Toledo, inserts his creations into the Christmas and pastoral theatrical tradition, but that he gives special importance to the allegorical characters and the development on stage of plays and riddles to reach the dual characteristic purpose in the Golden theatre: docere and delectare.Los autos al nacimiento de Cristo han recibido, en general, menor atención que los conocidos como sus “hermanos mayores”: los autos sacramentales. A modo de contribución para subsanar esta laguna, en este artículo se va a presentar brevemente la obra Nochebuena. Autos al nacimiento del Hijo de Dios con sus loas, villancicos, bailes y sainetes para cantar al propósito, compuesta por Cosme Gómez de Tejada y de los Reyes a principios del siglo XVII, y se van a analizar, asimismo, dos de los cuatro autos que la integran. Todo ello permitirá establecer que el autor, oriundo de Toledo, inserta sus creaciones en la secular tradición teatral navideña y pastoril, pero concede una especial y particular importancia a los personajes alegóricos y al desarrollo en escena de diversos juegos, adivinanzas y enigmas con los que se persigue la doble finalidad característica del teatro áureo: docere y delectare

Corporate social responsibility and workplace health promotion: A systematic review

The complex situation that global society is facing as a result of COVID-19 has highlighted the importance of companies committing to the principles of social responsibility. Among the internal initiatives, those related to the health of workers are, obviously, highly topical. The objective of our research is to provide concise knowledge of the relationship between workplace health promotion (WHP) and corporate social responsibility (CSR) so that the relevant specialized research was gathered in a single document that lays the foundations of its applicability. A systematic review, following the PRISMA method, has been carried out. Twenty-seven articles have been selected from the main scientific databases. Their qualitative analysis concludes that CSR and WHP are linked, have beneficial reciprocal effects, need committed leadership respectful of autonomy and voluntariness, and require the establishment of specific goals within the framework of the organizations' sustainability policies. Future studies should establish the impact of the pandemic on these aspects
