Trust and reputation in family businesses: A systematic literature review of past achievements and future promises
2021
Family businesses have traditionally been recognised for their trustworthiness and reputation. Interestingly, the extant literature suggests the influence of reputation and trust on family businesses’ long-term financial success. However, despite the increasing attention the topic has received, a comprehensive overview of trust and reputation in family businesses remains lacking. The current study aims to critically examine and review the extant research on trust and reputation in the context of family businesses and uncover current research trends and future research opportunities. We identified and critically analysed 93 studies through a stringent search protocol and content analysis to …
To make room or not to make room: clients’ narratives about exclusion and inclusion of spirituality in family therapy practice
2017
This empirical article presents four narratives from an ongoing qualitative PhD project about spirituality and family therapeutic practice. Using case studies and narrative vignettes, the article presents client perspectives on being able to discuss their spirituality in therapy, and the repercussions when therapists exclude it. The article refers to current research and provides some reflections on how we can understand spirituality in the context of family therapeutic practice; therapists for holistic, cultural, and ethical reasons should acknowledge the client’s spirituality. Therapists need to reflect on their own spirituality and how it may influence their relationships with clients. n…
Excluyentes y comprensivos : la política universitaria de Ruiz-Giménez, 1951-1956
2006
Se estudian las familias políticas del partido único de la dictadura de Franco a finales de los años cuarenta y en los años cincuenta. Se trata la trayectoria de Ruiz-Giménez, ministro de educación entre 1951 y 1956, las reformas universitarias que introdujo, así como las "inquietudes" de los estudiantes de la generación de los años cincuenta, germen de una nueva política de intelectuales jóvenes contra la dictadura. We study the one-party political families of the Franco dictatorship in the late forties and fifties. We analyze the trajectory of Ruiz-Giménez, minister of education between 1951 and 1956, the university reforms introduced and the "concerns" of students in the generation of th…
Children’s Public Participation, Middle-Class Families and Emotions
2014
The article examines the activities of a municipal children's parliament (the TCP) in a middle-sized Finnish town. The article focuses on members of the TCP board and their parents and the emphasis is on parents' views as very little research exists on family background in relation to children's public participation. All the participating families were middle-class, both as self-defined and according to their socioeconomic background. The parents studied detailed different emotions they and their children experienced as members of the children's parliament. The article illustrates that being a middle-class child and participating in civic activities is not an uncomplicated description of pr…
Ancient Haplotypes at the 15q24.2 Microdeletion Region Are Linked to Brain Expression of MAN2C1 and Children's Intelligence
2016
The chromosome bands 15q24.1-15q24.3 contain a complex region with numerous segmental duplications that predispose to regional microduplications and microdeletions, both of which have been linked to intellectual disability, speech delay and autistic features. The region may also harbour common inversion polymorphisms whose functional and phenotypic manifestations are unknown. Using single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) data, we detected four large contiguous haplotype-genotypes at 15q24 with Mendelian inheritance in 2,562 trios, African origin, high population stratification and reduced recombination rates. Although the haplotype-genotypes have been most likely generated by decreased or abse…

2020
This paper aims to shed light on work-life balance in Latvia during the state of emergency The COVID-19 outbreak has led many governments to introduce lockdowns While imposed restrictions may help to contain the spread of the virus, they may also result in substantial damage to population well-being The COVID-19 outbreak in Latvia demonstrates the extent and ways in which socio-demographics factors have determined different patterns of behaviour, attitudes, employment changes and harmonised work and life balance The study describes the chronological development of COVID-19 in the country It describes labour migration to and from Latvia before the COVID-19 outbreak It provides geographical f…
CATALANI E VALENZANI A SCIACCA NEL TARDO MEDIOEVO: RELIGIOSITÀ E FONDAZIONI ASSISTENZIALI
2020
Tre dei sei ospedali medievali di Sciacca furono fondati da esponenti del ceto mercantile e nobiliare catalano e valenzano trapiantato in Sicilia. Questo dato permette di mostrare il ruolo svolto dalle famiglie iberiche a Sciacca. Attraverso lo studio dei testamenti, in cui oltre ai legati pro anima, veniva disposta la fondazione di chiese, monasteri e strutture assistenziali, il saggio ricostruisce le espressioni della sensibilità religiosa e devozionale di queste famiglie, soffermandosi, in particolar modo, sull’istituzione dei tre ospedali e sulle diverse forme di carità praticate. Three of the six medieval hospitals in Sciacca were founded by merchants and nobles, members of Catalan and…
Contextual analysis of home environment factors influencing the acquisition of early reading skills in Zambian families
2014
This study examined the effect of home environment factors in the acquisition of early reading skills (orthographic awareness and decoding competence). To assess these factors, a sample of seventy-two (72) first grade learners (females = 55%; age range = 7–8 years) and their maternal parents (age range 26–61 years old) from low SES in Zambia's capital city, Lusaka were recruited. Parents, in response to a home literacy questionnaire, reported on their attitudes towards reading, literacy teaching in the home, the home literacy environment, presence of reading materials for adults and children, parental education, occupation, family size and family possessions. Two measures of reading skill w…
Human papillomavirus:Its identikit and controversial role in oral oncogenesis,premalignant an malignant lesions(Review)
2007
Human papillomaviruses (HPVs) are a group of host-specific DNA viruses, with a remarkable epithelial cell specificity: they have been reported principally in the ano-genital tract, urethra, skin, larynx, tracheo-bronchial and oral mucosa. More than 100 different HPV types have been identified and classified as high (e.g. 16, 18, 31) or low (e.g. 11, 42, 36) -risk (HR and LR), based on their association with cervical carcinoma. The carcinogenic role of HR-HPV revolves mainly around two of its oncoproteins: HPV-E6 which promotes degradation of the p53 tumour suppressor gene product and HPV-E7 which modifies the pRb tumour suppressor gene product, inhibiting the activity of TGF-beta2. Since th…
Born to Be Different: LGBTQ2 Children of Heterosexual Families
2022
This chapter aims to challenge heterosexual norms in society by analyzing heterosexual families when confronted with the coming out of one of their children. Starting with the essentialist construction of identities and gender norms supported by the symbolic structure of the natural and traditional (straight) family, we reconstruct paths and dynamics of the response that heterosexual parents give to their LGBTQ2 children. Specifically, this contribution outlines the characteristics of the disclosure processes of homosexual children and the related reactions to such shocking and disorienting events of their families. Finally, we offer parents some good practices to react well and be welcomin…
