Contingency consumer brand evaluations during recessions: a meta-analysis and systematic review
(Emerald, 2025-06-12) Palomino-Tamayo, Walter; Wakabayashi, José Luis; Rojer, Guido
Purpose: This study aims to conduct a meta-analysis and literature review on the effects of recessions on consumer brand evaluations. It examines how downturns influence various evaluation dimensions through the lens of Skinner’s contingency theory. Design/methodology/approach: This study reviewed literature from January 2000 to December 2023 for a psychometric meta-analysis, incorporating 155 effect sizes and 4,025,156 observations. It applied psychometric corrections and random-effects estimation. The literature review includes 47 studies. Findings: Recessions negatively affect consumer brand evaluations. Significant and predominantly negative relationships are observed between general brand impressions and brand-related consumer activity. This effect is significant and positive for brand commitment and not significant for brand-specific impressions. Brand familiarity, brand type and product convenience, considered contextual moderators, show a smaller and significantly negative effect on brand evaluations for familiar brands, real brands and low-convenience products. Methodological moderators have a significant and less negative effect in studies with study settings, data type and methodology. Originality/value: This study analyses the fragmented empirical literature on how changes in the economic environment affect firm and consumer behaviour towards consumer brand evaluations during recessions. It extends prior isolated meta-analyses of recessions and branding by introducing a novel theoretical framework based on Skinner’s contingency theory, offering new research directions.

Traditional culinary uses, food applications, and potential health benefits of Peruvian Mesquite (Prosopis juliflora, Prosopis pallida), research advances and challenges: a review
(BioMed Center, 2025-03-06) Bohórquez-Medina, Sofía L.; Bohórquez-Medina, Andrea L.; Lukacs de Pereny, Sandor G.; Cárdenas-Jarama, Martín
Prosopis trees are leguminous plants that are frequently grown in arid, semiarid, tropical, and subtropical locations due to their remarkable capacity to withstand harsh soil conditions. Compared to other leguminous plants, Prosopis species are still neglected despite their promise. Prosopis juliflora (P. juliflora) and Prosopis pallida (P. pallida) are both referred to as “Mesquite” or “Algarrobo” in Peru. The purpose of this systematic literature review is to clarify the dietary benefits and food applications of Prosopis species (P. juliflora and P. pallida). A systematic search for relevant articles was conducted on SCOPUS, PubMed/Medline, and WOS. The literature review revealed that Mesquite products have been used in a variety of industries, such as construction, food, and medicine. However, their medicinal use has not been evaluated in clinical trials. Most available evidence pertaining to its health benefits was concentrated on in vitro and in vivo experimental studies. Due to its substantial fiber, protein, and polyphenol content, its nutritional value as a partial replacement for wheat flour and for boosting the nutritional profile of baked goods, drinks, and other food items is being investigated. Further research is required to fully explore food applications and nutritional potential benefits of these neglected leguminous plants.

Global health and care worker migration requires a global response
(Elsevier, 2025-04-03) Kuhlmann, Ellen; Falkenbach, Michelle; Correia, Tiago; Humphries, Niamh; Hutchinson, Eleanor; Rees, Gareth H.; Ungureanu, Marius-Ionut; Zapata, Tomas; Lohmann, Julia
The global migration of the health and care workforce (HCWF) has intensified, leading to complex policy scenarios and diverse migration patterns. While the traditional narrative of individual health and care workers (HCWs) migrating from low- and middle-income countries to high-income countries in search of higher income, career prospects and working conditions remains relevant, it now coexists with many other drivers, incentives, and dynamics at individual and policy level. The evolving dynamics of HCW migration have profound implications extending far beyond health labour markets, influencing broader societal and political landscapes. Despite their significance, the qualitative shifts in HCWF migration patterns and the governance challenges they present are poorly understood and under-researched, and policies have thus been limited in their effectiveness. In this policy comment we argue for a global response and an enhanced focus on policy implementation, using selected case studies to illustrate the argument. The cases highlight complexities of HCW migration patterns and opportunities for strengthening implementation of the WHO Global Code of Practice to respond effectively to the diverse needs of health systems and individual HCWs.

ISO 31000 guide: steps used in all types of organizations in Latin American countries
(Malque Publishing, 2025-02-07) Lizarzaburu, Edmundo; Chavez, Monica; Garcia , Conrado; Noriega, Eduardo; Tinoco, David
This paper highlights the crucial role of adopting ISO 31000 as a comprehensive and flexible risk management standard for organizations throughout Latin America. ISO 31000 provides a globally recognized framework for tackling various challenges, such as regulatory pressures, economic fluctuations, and operational inefficiencies. By embedding risk management into day-to-day operations and strategic decision-making, organizations can strengthen their resilience and improve decision-making processes. The study examines key elements of ISO 31000, such as risk identification, assessment, and response strategies, which include mitigation, transfer, acceptance, or elimination. It stresses the importance of stakeholder engagement to ensure effective communication and consultation at every phase. The iterative nature of risk management outlined in ISO 31000 promotes continuous improvement and alignment with organizational objectives. Through a qualitative analysis of case studies from Peru, Mexico, and Brazil in both the public and private sectors, this paper demonstrates how organizations adapt ISO 31000 to their specific economic, cultural, and legal contexts. These adaptations enhance risk visibility, build stakeholder trust, and support long-term sustainability. The findings reveal significant benefits, such as improved business continuity and a better capacity to address financial and operational uncertainties. Despite its adaptability, the successful implementation of ISO 31000 requires addressing regional challenges, including resource constraints and evolving regulations. The paper calls for ongoing training and awareness efforts to ensure the framework's widespread adoption and effectiveness. In conclusion, ISO 31000 is an essential tool for strengthening risk management practices, empowering Latin American organizations to navigate uncertainties and achieve sustainable growth.

Sociodemographic characteristics of food festival attendees and their relationship with motivations
(Taylor and Francis, 2025-07-25) Carvache-Franco, Mauricio; Hassan, Tahani; Bagarić, Lidija; Carvache-Franco, Orly; Carvache-Franco, Wilmer
Conducting research on food festivals is vital for advancing the development of tourist destinations. This study, conducted at the Bahrain Food Festival on the eastern coast of the Persian Gulf, aimed to achieve the following objectives: (1) To identify the motivational factors that drive visitors to food festivals and (2) to determine the relationship between these attendees’ sociodemographic characteristics and motivations. Motivations are often categorized as push factors (internal desires) and pull factors (external incentives). Three hundred eighty valid questionnaires were collected online from event attendees, and statistical techniques such as factor analysis and multiple regression were applied. The findings revealed five motivational dimensions associated with food festivals: Local cuisine, Art, Entertainment, Socialization, and Escape and Novelty. Moreover, some sociodemographic characteristics were found to be predictors of motivations. Specifically, attendees with higher levels of education exhibited greater motivation for Local Food and Art. Additionally, scientific researchers and business people were highly motivated by the Art dimension alone. Furthermore, younger attendees were found to be more motivated by Entertainment, while those attending with friends or colleagues were more inclined toward Socialization. These findings offer valuable insights into the management of food festivals and contribute to the existing academic literature in this field.
