Análisis del comportamiento de las cooperativas: de la Gran Recesión a la crisis del COVID-19

This is study is focused on Spanish cooperatives. The data span thirteen years (2008-2020). It includes the Great Recession, the upturn years that came after it, and the worst year of the COVID-19 crisis to date. The aim is to evaluate cooperatives' performance from the financial crisis to 2020. This aim is broken down into three specific objectives: i) To analyse the effects of the health crisis on the number of cooperatives and on employment within them. ii) To analyse changes in cooperatives' economic performance, represented by economic and financial profitability ratios. iii) To assess whether belonging to a given activity sector affects cooperatives' profitability. The results indicate that the 2008 crisis and the COVID-19 pandemic increased the pro-cyclical behaviour of cooperatives' employment. However, self-employment was less elastic than salaried employment. The profitability results show that the COVID-19 crisis did not consistently affect cooperatives' economic and financial ratios. Agri-food sector withstood the Great Recession and displayed a counter-cyclical behaviour in the pandemic year. © 2022 Universidad Complutense de Madrid. All rights reserved.

Resilience and stress coping strategies of university students in times of pandemic

The objective is to determine if Resilience and stress coping strategies significantly influence each other in college students during the COVID-19 pandemic. A prospective and cross-sectional quantitative design study, 128 students from the National Intercultural University of the Amazon, Peru were selected: 96 men (75.0%) and 32 women (25.0%), mean age 18.3 years (SD = 2.3). The Adapted Resilience Scale of Peru (ERAPE) and the Coping Mode (COPE) were used. Resilience had a significant effect at a moderate level, and coping strategies focused on problems and emotions, with planning, active coping, and lack of emotional support dominating. Effects on proportional inverse correlation can be identified through avoidance strategies: mental and behavioral withdrawal, denial, and substance use.
