Interactive effects of armed conflict and climate change on gender vulnerability in Sub-Saharan Africa
Purpose Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) is regarded as a region with one of the worst cases of armed conflict and climate risk. This paper examines the interactive effect of armed conflict and climate risk on gender vulnerability in SSA. Design/methodology/approach The difference and system generalised method of movement (GMM) were used to examine the relationship between the variables using annualised data of 35 SSA countries from 1998 to 2019. Finding…
U.S.‐South America trade and the J‐Curve: An asymmetric analysis
We estimate the bilateral trade balance model of the United States with each of its 12 largest trading partners from South America in order to test both the symmetric and asymmetric J‐curve effect. When a linear ARDL model was estimated, we found support for the symmetric J‐curve in the U.S. trade balance with Argentina, Colombia, Guyana, Peru, Uruguay and Venezuela. However, when a nonlinear ARDL model was estimated, asymmetric J‐curve hypothesi…
Collective Care: Multiple Caregivers and Multiple Care Recipients in Mexican American Families
Purpose: Specific stressors associated with caregiving in Mexican American (MA) families are not well documented, yet caregiving issues are paramount because informal care for parents is central to their culture. Although MA families who band together to provide care for one member are not unique, the literature does not describe the phenomenon of collective caregiving, which may be widespread but unrecognized. This article describes these unders…
Use of Theoretical Frameworks as a Pragmatic Guide for Mixed Methods Studies: A Methodological Necessity
There is a growing acceptance of the utility of mixed methods in health sciences but there is no widely accepted set of ideas in regard to use of a conceptual or theoretical framework to guide inquiry. Few mixed methods health science articles report the use of such a framework. Lack of available conceptual maps provided by theoretical frameworks, necessary intricacy of design, and the qualitative "black box" tradition all contribute to a dearth …
Mexican American Males Providing Personal Care for Their Mothers
We know little about Mexican American (MA) family adaptation to critical events in the informal caregiving experience but, in these days of economic and social turmoil, sons must sometimes step up to provide personal care for their aging mothers. This article compares two empirically real cases of MA males who provided such care, in lieu of a female relative. The cases are selected from a federally funded, descriptive, longitudinal, mixed-methods…
