Body composition and CO2 dietary emissions
Background The amount and quality of foods consumed not only impact on individual health, as reflected in body composition, but they could influence on greenhouse gas emissions and then, on environment. Aim This study aims to assess the relationship between the body composition and the CO 2 emissions resulting from the dietary choices of an adult population. Design A cross-sectional study on baseline data from 778 participants aged 55–75 years ol…
Metabolic syndrome criteria and severity and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in an adult population
Background Metabolic syndrome (MetS) has become a growing risk factor of some non-communicable diseases. Increase of greenhouse gas emissions affects the planet. Aims To assess the association between MetS severity and amount of carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) emitted in an adult population. Design Cross-sectional study ( n = 6646; 55-76-year-old-men; 60-75-year-old-women with MetS). Methods Dietary habits were assessed using a pre-validated semi quantita…
Global Civil Society Response to the Covid-19 Crisis
How did Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) globally address the needs caused by the COVID-19 pandemic? In this study, we examine the roles CSOs played during the first 18 months of the pandemic, their main challenges, and how the pandemic changed CSOs’ roles in society across 39 countries and economies. Using inductive thematic analysis analyzing responses from global philanthropy experts in two consecutive studies (2020 and 2021), we find that C…

Nada Puede Impedirme Seguir Estudiando! Barriers and Opportunities for Latino Youth in Indiana
There is a significant gap in the literature about Indiana Latino students’ struggles to access post-secondary options. This study uses focus groups and interviews to explore parents’, students’, and teachers’ perceptions about barriers and opportunities Latino high school students have to transition into education options after high school. Findings suggest that Latino families, especially newcomers, lack knowledge and resources to overcome perc…
Relaciones entre área y perímetro
Este artículo deriva de una investigación cuyo objetivo fue analizar las intuiciones iniciales de niños de 9 a 12 años respecto de las relaciones entre área y perímetro y el proceso mediante el cual abandonan tales intuiciones. El estudio se llevó a cabo con 12 niños de alto desempeño escolar en matemáticas que en el momento de la investigación cursaban cuarto, quinto y sexto grado de educación primaria. Se analizan las intuiciones iniciales sobr…
Evaluation of Combined Disinfection Methods for Reducing Escherichia coli O157
Most current disinfection strategies for fresh-cut industry are focused on the use of different chemical agents; however, very little has been reported on the effectiveness of the hurdle technology. The effect of combined decontamination methods based on the use of different sanitizers (peroxyacetic acid and chlorine dioxide) and the application of pressure (vacuum/positive pressure) on the inactivation of the foodborne pathogen E. coli O157:H7 o…
Latina testimonios
Judith Flores and Silvia Garcia (University of Utah) draw from the work of their mentor, Rina Benmayor and Telling to live: Latina feminist testimonios to establish an organization for Latinas who are staff, faculty, students, alumni, and community members at a predominantly White institution (PWI). Critical race feminism (CRF), Latina/o critical theory (LatCrit), and foundational work from US Third World feminists, informed the need to create a …

En este trabajo se relacionan los datos obtenidos a través de entrevistas a informantes en el departamento de Antofagasta de la Sierra, con los surgidos tras la consulta de las Actas del Registro Civil y se arriba a conclusiones respecto de los vínculos de parentesco que unieron a quienes co…
Manipulación De Objetos en Ambientes Tridimensionales Para Realidad Virtual
El presente artículo trata sobre el desarrollo de un Sistema para la manipulación de objetos virtuales, en un ambiente tridimensional, para inversión virtual utilizando un guante de navegación y el casco virtual visor VR1280. El Sistema está compuesto por dos subsistemas: navegación y software. El subsistema de navegación consta de un acelerómetro, microcontrolador y conversor análogo/digital; mediante el cual el usuario interactúa con el ambient…
