Addressing population-level cancer data needs in northwestern Mexico
“South–South” partnerships forged between institutions in resource-constrained settings, usually in low- and middle-income countries, provide innovative frameworks for resource, knowledge, and expertise exchanges to address public health challenges in regions sharing similar contexts. Population-based cancer registries (PBCRs) and surveillance systems in low- and middle-income countries are essential for cancer control, yet they are scarce. In re…
Building a transdisciplinary network to improve survival in children with cancer in Colombia
Childhood cancer mortality is disproportionately higher in low- and middle-income countries than high-income countries. The World Health Organization Global Initiative for Childhood Cancer aims for a survival of 60% by 2030. This initiative prioritizes timely diagnosis, access to standardized therapy and supportive care, and prompt management of treatment-related complications. Collaborative work is linked to better performance of health systems …
Covid-19, desigualdades y resiliencia en la educación media colombiana
El objetivo del presente artículo es comprender cómo se desarrollaron las dinámicas de enseñanza-aprendizaje en la educación media en Colombia durante la pandemia de Covid-19 y su impacto en las desigualdades educativas. Se realizaron 50 entrevistas a estudiantes de grado 11°, profesores y directivos de seis colegios del país. Los resultados de la investigación permiten mostrar cómo se dieron esas experiencias desde tres ejes de análisis principa…
An Inter-Laboratory Study of DNA-Based Identity, Parentage and Species Testing in Animal Forensic Genetics
The probative value of animal forensic genetic evidence relies on laboratory accuracy and reliability. Inter-laboratory comparisons allow laboratories to evaluate their performance on specific tests and analyses and to continue to monitor their output. The International Society for Animal Genetics (ISAG) administered animal forensic comparison tests (AFCTs) in 2016 and 2018 to assess the limitations and capabilities of laboratories offering foren…
A Novel Child Burial from Tierra del Fuego
This paper reports the archaeological materials from a unique child burial recently discovered in Tierra del Fuego. Preliminary analyses are consistent with the idea that the burial belongs to the Selk’nam culture. Although the Selk’nam archaeological record is abundant, very little is known about their mortuary practices. In this well-preserved burial, the human remains were accompanied by an unusual set of grave goods, which have not been descr…
The Neanderthal in the karst
Domestic Pigs in Africa
Genetic evidence for patrilocal mating behavior among Neandertal groups
The remains of 12 Neandertal individuals have been found at the El Sidrón site (Asturias, Spain), consisting of six adults, three adolescents, two juveniles, and one infant. Archaeological, paleontological, and geological evidence indicates that these individuals represent all or part of a contemporaneous social group of Neandertals, who died at around the same time and later were buried together as a result of a collapse of an underground karst.…
