The visual elements in webtoons are vivid and prosperous in a way they can attract a linguist to shift away from interpreting the usual verbal content to the investigation of meanings beyond these non-verbal designs. For that purpose, this study aims to apply Kress and van …
Use, knowledge, and effectiveness of nutritional traffic light label in an urban population from Ecuador
BACKGROUND: The nutritional traffic light label (NTLL) has become one of the most used Front of Package labels (FOP's) around the world, for its simple and easy to understand graphical system. In Ecuador, this labelling system has recently been implemented; then, this research aims to evaluate the use and knowledge of NTLL and its effectiveness as a public health promotion strategy.

Methods : Guided by tenets of community engaged research and syndemic theory, we conducted eight focus groups ( n = 59) with Kichwa men and women in the province of Imbabura, Ecuador. Data were analyzed using applied thematic analysis techniques. Results : Cancer emerged as an important health problem and was reported as a growing concern. Ki…
Arsenic in Mexican Children Exposed to Contaminated Well Water
This cross-sectional study measures the arsenic level in school children exposed to contaminated well water in a rural area in México. Arsenic was measured in hair by hydride generation atomic absorption spectrophotometry. Overall, 110 children were included (average 10 years-old). Among 55 exposed children, mean arsenic level on hair was 1.3 mg/kg (range <0.006-5.9). All unexposed children had undetectable arsenic levels. The high level of arsen…
