El potencial de crecimiento en el sistema acuapónico de Lophantus Anisatus

The paper main objectives are to identify an analysis potential to grow in the aquaponics system of Lophantus Anisatus. This model of integrated production system adds more value to end aquaponics products. The objective of this model is to test and predicts that mint plant and fish growth and net ammonium and nitrate concentrations in water in an aquaponic system.Los objetivos principales del documento son identificar un potencial de análisis de crecimiento en el sistema acuapónico de Lophantus Anisatus. Este modelo de sistema de producción integrado agrega más valor a los productos acuapónicos finales. El objetivo de este modelo es probar y predecir que las plantas de menta y el crecimiento de peces y las concentraciones netas de amonio y nitrato en el agua en un sistema acuapónico

Gestión empresarial en acuaponia

The aim of the paper is to present a model of entrepreneurial management for aquaponics activities, to provide a financial planning and analysis tool. This model can also be of assistance to land-based farmers who want to more thoroughly utilize their water resources by developing small-scale aquaponics systems to provide supplementary income. Aquaponics is an innovative approach located within two concepts based on multifunctional agriculture and aquaculture. This integrated management of the production system can satisfy human food needs and enhance environmental quality by producing crops using environmentally friendly practices that minimize water and nutrient waste discharges to the environment.   El objetivo del documento es presentar un modelo de gestión empresarial para actividades acuapónicas, para proporcionar una herramienta de análisis y planificación financiera. Este modelo también puede ser útil para los agricultores terrestres que desean utilizar sus recursos hídricos más a fondo mediante el desarrollo de sistemas acuapónicos a pequeña escala para proporcionar ingresos suplementarios. Aquaponica es un enfoque innovador ubicado en dos conceptos basados ​​en la agricultura multifuncional y la acuicultura. Esta gestión integrada del sistema de producción puede satisfacer las necesidades de alimentos humanos y mejorar la calidad ambiental produciendo cultivos que utilizan prácticas respetuosas con el medio ambiente que minimizan las descargas de desechos de agua y nutrientes al medio ambiente

Fuzzy Sensory Quality Certification in Intensive Organic Beekeeping

The current paper presents a fuzzy sensory quality certification of organic mint honey as a component of the strategy to promote intensive beekeeping. This sensory analysis is based on fuzzy logic that allows the processing of data represented by linguistic terms. For the development of the fuzzy sensory analysis model of bee honey, we develop a MATLAB application, with the help of which we modeled the sensory perceptions in relation to the main quality characteristics of mint honey in relation to the other varieties of honey. The sensory quality index of each honey assortment is obtained by converting qualitative assessments through linguistic terms into a set of three numerical values on a sensory scale of assessment of results with five linguistic values: unsatisfactory, satisfactory, average, good, excellent. Indices of fuzzy sensory quality associated with honey varieties are certified using a blockchain model that is an information technology that offers the opportunity to develop local markets for organic bee products

Fuzzy Quality Certification of Wheat

This paper presents a fuzzy quality certification of wheat. This analysis is based on the fuzzy analysis model of wheat. We developed a Matlab application with the help of which we modeled the perceptions in relation to the main quality physical and chemical characteristics of wheat obtaining a quality index of wheat lots. The algorithm presented in this article allows for obtaining and using the global quality index, generating applicability not only to the commercial sphere as a quality reference and price setting, but also a measure of appreciation of processing opportunities. Indices of fuzzy quality associated with wheat lots using a fuzzy model offer the opportunity to develop local markets through quality certification

Diminishing benefits of urban living for children and adolescents’ growth and development

Optimal growth and development in childhood and adolescence is crucial for lifelong health and well-being1–6. Here we used data from 2,325 population-based studies, with measurements of height and weight from 71 million participants, to report the height and body-mass index (BMI) of children and adolescents aged 5–19 years on the basis of rural and urban place of residence in 200 countries and territories from 1990 to 2020. In 1990, children and adolescents residing in cities were taller than their rural counterparts in all but a few high-income countries. By 2020, the urban height advantage became smaller in most countries, and in many high-income western countries it reversed into a small urban-based disadvantage. The exception was for boys in most countries in sub-Saharan Africa and in some countries in Oceania, south Asia and the region of central Asia, Middle East and north Africa. In these countries, successive cohorts of boys from rural places either did not gain height or possibly became shorter, and hence fell further behind their urban peers. The difference between the age-standardized mean BMI of children in urban and rural areas was <1.1 kg m–2 in the vast majority of countries. Within this small range, BMI increased slightly more in cities than in rural areas, except in south Asia, sub-Saharan Africa and some countries in central and eastern Europe. Our results show that in much of the world, the growth and developmental advantages of living in cities have diminished in the twenty-first century, whereas in much of sub-Saharan Africa they have amplified
