Connecting Social Enterprises and Sustainable Consumption: Systematic Review, Bibliometric Analysis, and Conceptual Framework
[Abstract]: The purpose of this study is to explore the meeting point between social enterprises
(SEs) and sustainable consumption, given the proven potential of these hybrid organizations in the
achievement of sustainable development. Paradoxically, scholarly attention has been scarce to this
field of research, particularly from the perspectives of SE products and (potential) customers. Aiming
to shed some light, a systematic literature review was conducted, resulting in 24 scientific publications
descriptively and thematically explored based on a bibliometric analysis. The findings show that
the link between SEs and sustainable consumption is very recent and that empirical articles using
quantitative methodologies prevail focused on the analysis of capabilities and performances of SEs
aiming to positively influence customers’ response. Nevertheless, the attention to the identification
of product attributes and the individual determinants effective enough to press the buy button is
still limited. In response to this shortcoming, the originality of this study consists of assembling
the findings in this regard into an integrated conceptual framework that paves the way for future
analysis in this field of studyMICINN National Project CO-CRESEO ; PID2019-109580RB-I00/AEI/10.13039/

Down syndrome as risk factor for respiratory syncytial virus hospitalization : A prospective multicenter epidemiological study
Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection in childhood, particularly in premature infants, is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. To compare the hospitalization rates due to RSV infection and severity of disease between infants with and without Down syndrome (DS) born at term and without other associated risk factors for severe RSV infection. In a prospective multicentre epidemiological study, 93 infants were included in the DS cohort and 68 matched by sex and data of birth (±1 week) and were followed up to 1 year of age and during a complete RSV season. The hospitalization rate for all acute respiratory infection was significantly higher in the DS cohort than in the non-DS cohort (44.1% vs 7.7%, P<.0001). Hospitalizations due to RSV were significantly more frequent in the DH cohort than in the non-DS cohort (9.7% vs 1.5%, P=.03). RSV prophylaxis was recorded in 33 (35.5%) infants with DS. The rate of hospitalization according to presence or absence of RSV immunoprophylaxis was 3.0% vs 15%, respectively. Infants with DS showed a higher rate of hospitalization due to acute lower respiratory tract infection and RSV infection compared to non-DS infants. Including DS infants in recommendations for immunoprophylaxis of RSV disease should be considered
