“…Make explicit use of the concept of development and acknowledgment of available frameworks in the link between development and health in the context of globalization.

.Global public health (GPH) continues to be a challenging field. It focuses on health-related issues that transcend national boundaries and thus requires global cooperation for implementing solutions to public health problems. Information and communication technologies (ICTs) have the potential to contribute to GPH by improving the quality of healthcare services. The purpose of this commentary article is to discuss the nature and characteristics of the existing link between ICTs and GPH. The key underlying questions discussed in this article are (a) whether ICTs can truly reduce the burden of current GPH problems and (b) how to effectively achieve it. We selected three widely recognized GPH challenges: diarrheal disease among children under 5 years old, malaria, and type 2 diabetes mellitus. These are considered to be examples of salient global issues that, despite the availability of cost-effective preventive and therapeutic interventions, still remain a major burden of morbidity and mortality worldwide. We conclude that there is a growing global interest in ICT-related solutions in GPH. We recommend the development of more transparent frameworks, more theory-informed solutions, and clearer translational links between ICTs and GPH matters. Ten further specific recommendations are also discussed in this article.

“…The recession of the early 1990s (associated with the beginning of the Gulf War and resulting spike in oil prices) affected the US economy greatly as well as other economies closely linked with them, such as Canada, Australia, the United Kingdom, as well as Europe and Japan to a lesser degree (McNees, 1992). The more recent recession (associated with the U.S. housing bubble) damaged financial institutions in developed nations around the world (Gore, 2010). In most cases, the declines in CO 2 coincide with little to no growth in income, whereas health and education continue to prosper, resulting in an overall increase in HDI for those time periods.…”

Human development, energy, and greenhouse gases are inherently linked under current technology constraints. An empirical comparison illustrates that nations with higher human development values (in terms of the United Nation's Human Development Index (HDI)) contribute more carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) emissions as a result of greater energy consumption. This finding seemingly places environmental sustainability at odds with advances in human development. However, the comparison also exposes the diminishing returns to HDI that accrue as emissions increase. If accurate, this relationship suggests that the developed world can make emission cuts without experiencing major set-backs in human well-being. It also suggests that under a global mitigation system, emission cuts in developed nations could enable emission increases in underdeveloped countries that result in major improvements to the human condition. Therefore, we investigate the diminishing returns to HDI in the context of sustainable climate policy design. We find that the saturation-like trend is inherent to development indicators and not driven by the functional form of the HDI. Also, the global trend is not consistently detected when the development pathways of individual nations are examined. Nevertheless, a clear relationship between CO 2 and HDI emerges within the least developed nations, fourteen of which show consistent advances in HDI as emissions increase over time. These findings suggest that sustainable climate policy should not allocate emission rights away from these nations. Furthermore, most developed nations exhibit periods of HDI improvement while emissions decline, reinforcing the criticality of employing broader development measures beyond indicators of income for sustainable policy design.

Estratégias para desempenho superior em recessões: pro ou contra-cíclicas? Estrategias para el desempeño superior en las recesiones: ¿pro o contra cíclicas?ABSTRACT Recessions are recurring events in which most firms suffer severe impacts while others are less affected or may even prosper. Strategic management has made little progress in understanding such performance differences. In a scenario of decreased demand, intensified competition, and higher uncertainty, most firms try to survive by pro-cyclically cutting costs and investments. But firms could take advantage of undervalued resources in the market to counter-cyclically invest in new business opportunities to overtake competitors. We survey Brazilian firms in various industries about the [2008][2009] recession and analyze data using PLS-SEM. We find that while most firms pro-cyclically reduce costs and investments in recessions, a counter-cyclical strategy of investing in opportunities created by changes in the market enables superior performance. Most successful are firms with a propensity to recognize opportunities, an entrepreneurial orientation to invest, and the flexibility to efficiently implement investments.KEYWORDS | Recession, cycle, opportunity, entrepreneurship, flexibility. RESUMO Recessões são eventos recorrentes nos quais a maioria das empresas sofre impactos severos enquanto outras são menos afetadas ou até prosperam. A gestão estratégica tem feito pouco progresso para entender tais diferenças de desempenho. Em um cenário de demanda reduzida, competição aumentada e muitas incertezas, a maioria das empresas tenta sobreviver cortando custos e investimentos, de maneira pró-cíclica. Mas as empresas poderiam aproveitar os recursos subestimados no mercado para investir, contra-ciclicamente, em novas oportunidades de negócios para superar a concorrência. Pesquisamos empresas brasileiras em várias indústrias sobre a recessão de 2008-2009 e analisamos dados usando PLS-SEM. Descobrimos que enquanto a maioria das empresas reduzem custos e investimento pró-ciclicamente durante as recessões, uma estratégia contra-cíclica de investir em oportunidades criadas pelas mudanças no mercado possibilitam desempenho superior. Firmas com propensão a reconhecer oportunidades, com orientação empresarial para investir e com flexibilidade para implementar os investimentos de modo eficiente são as mais bem sucedidas. PALAVRAS-CHAVE | Recessão, ciclo, oportunidade, empreendedorismo, flexibilidade.
