Patrón de consumo alimentario familiar en Nuevo León (México)

En el contexto de la sustentabilidad del medio ambiente y desarrollo, los seres humanos se constituyen en el centro de las preocupaciones, en el cual tiene derecho a una vida saludable y productiva. (1). Ante tal hecho la Organización Panamericana de la Salud (OPS) ha realizado reuniones cumbres para tratar los problemas de salud pública, con el propósito de abordar principalmente aspectos de equidad, justicia social y desarrollo humano los cuales están íntimamente ligados con el desarrollo sostenible y la procuración de salud, y donde cada uno las variables consideradas, condicionan y contribuyen a estos atributo

PATRON DE CONSUMO ALIMENTARIO FAMILIAR EN NUEVO LEON (MÉXICO).

La alimentación y la accesibilidad en alimentos conforman uno de los derechos fundamentales del hombre y permite apreciar el nivel de desarrollo sustentable en la comunidades, hasta el momento no se ha descrito el Patrón de Consumo Alimentario (PCA) en Nuevo León (México) por lo que el objetivo de la presente investigación fue determinar el PCA en Nuevo León y analizar las diferencias respecto al país. Para ello se revisó la base de datos del diagnóstico de nurtriciónrealizado en Nuevo León en año 2000 por la Facultad de Salud Pública y Nutrición (UANL); y se determinaron los promedios y las frecuencias modales de consumo (FMC) de alimentos, se calcularon los aportes nurticionales de cada alimento. El PCA se compone de 451 alimentos, la carne no aparece entre los primeros 20 lugares de FMC, la tortilla de maíz, el aceite vegetal, huevo, refresco, frijol son los alimentos de mayor FMC. Existen diferencias cualitativas y cuantitativas en el PCA en Nuevo León con respecto al país.Palabras clave: Patrón de consumo alimentario, Nuevo León, Méxicofood pattern consumption, Nuevo Leon, Méxic

All-optical seeding of a light-induced phase transition with correlated disorder

Ultrafast manipulation of vibrational coherence is an emergent route to control the structure of solids. However, this strategy can only induce long-range correlations and cannot modify atomic structure locally, which is required in many technologically-relevant phase transitions. Here, we demonstrate that ultrafast lasers can generate incoherent structural fluctuations which are more efficient for material control than coherent vibrations, extending optical control to a wider range of materials. We observe that local, non-equilibrium lattice distortions generated by a weak laser pulse reduce the energy barrier to switch between insulating and metallic states in vanadium dioxide by 6%. Seeding inhomogeneous structural-fluctuations presents an alternative, more energy efficient, route for controlling materials that may be applicable to all solids, including those used in data and energy storage devices

PROPUESTA DE UNA POLÍTICA SOCIAL ALIMENTARIA NUTRICIONAL PARA NUEVO LEÓN

Las Políticas Sociales tienen como fin el que la población se pueda desarrollar convocando a los diferentes actores que intervienen, así también deben tomar en cuenta los elementos en los que se encuentran inmersos la población. Las políticas sociales alimentarias debieran ser practicadas en coordinación y no en subordinación a las políticas económicas de un país.Nada es diferente a lo comentado cuando se trata de elaborar políticas en el área de Alimentación, quizá la diferencia estriba en la amplitud del tema y no en el impacto social. Invertir en la nutrición y alimentación se apoyar el desarrollo de una nación asimismo es reducir la extrema pobreza de la población. Uno de los retos más importantes que enfrentan las políticas de salud y nutrición es el de llevar a cabo acciones con recursos limitados y que respondan a las necesidades locales. La propuesta toma en cuenta los elementos propios de Nuevo León en materia de alimentación tales como el patrón de consumo de alimentos, elementos de la pobreza. En lo que respecta al marco legal se apoya en el artículo cuarto de la Constitución Mexicana, en el Programa Nacional de Salud 2001 – 2006 y en  La Constitución política de Nuevo León. Es entonces, que la propuesta permite incluir en las estrategias elementos de la dimensión alimentaria y elementos de la dimensión pobreza, que estarán actuando a favor de la mejora en la alimentación y en el combate a la pobreza de las familias de Nuevo León (México). Abstract The Social Policies have like aim the one that the population can be developed summoning to the different actors who take part, thus also must take into account the elements in which they are the population immersed. The nourishing social policies would have to be practiced in coordination and not in subordination to the economic policies of a country. Nothing is different from commented when it is to elaborate political in the area of Feeding, perhaps the difference is based in the amplitude of the subject and not in the social impact. To invest in the nutrition and feeding to lean the development of a nation also is to reduce the extreme poverty of the population. One of the most important challenges that they face the policies of health and nutrition is the one to carry out action with limited resources and that respond to the local needs. The proposal takes into account the own elements Nuevo Leon State in the matter of feeding again such as the landlord from consumption from foods, elements of the poverty. With regard to the legal frame one leans in the article fourth of the Mexican Constitution, in the National Program of Health 2001 - 2006 and in the political Constitution again Nuevo Leon State. He is then, that the proposal allows to include in the strategies elements of the nourishing dimension and elements of the dimension poverty, that will be acting in favor of the improvement in the feeding and the combat to the poverty of the families again Leon (México). Palabras clave: Política alimentaria, Política social

CANASTA BÁSICA ALIMENTARIA FAMILIAR 2000 VERSUS 2005 EN UN ESTADO FEDERATIVO DEL NORESTE DE MÉXICO

Ante la ausencia de una Canasta Básica de Alimentos para Nuevo León (México), el objetivo de la investigación fue determinar la Canasta Básica de Alimentos Familiar que muestre el costo del acceso a la suficiencia alimentaria tanto en el año 2000 como en el año 2005, con el propósito de que sea de utilidad para aplicarse en los programas de alimentación que se desarrollen en Nuevo León y lo que permitirá establecer la base deinformación para continuar investigando en lo que respecta al Consumo Alimentario. Encontrando que pocos son los alimentos que cumplen con el criterio de universalidad. Igual que el salario mínimo del trabajador alcanza a cubrir el costo individual de alimentos, sin embargo ese salario no alcanza a cubrirlo cuando es familiar.Palabras Clave: Canasta Básica, Alimentos, Nuevo León, MéxicoFood, Nuevo Leon, Mexic

Modulation of vagal activity may help reduce neurodevelopmental damage in the offspring of mothers with pre-eclampsia

Maternal Immune Activation (MIA) has been linked to the pathogenesis of pre-eclampsia and adverse neurodevelopmental outcomes in the offspring, such as cognitive deficits, behavioral abnormalities, and mental disorders. Pre-eclampsia is associated with an activation of the immune system characterized by persistently elevated levels of proinflammatory cytokines, as well as a decrease in immunoregulatory factors. The Cholinergic Anti-inflammatory Pathway (CAP) may play a relevant role in regulating the maternal inflammatory response during pre-eclampsia and protecting the developing fetus from inflammation-induced damage. Dysregulation in the CAP has been associated with the clinical evolution of pre-eclampsia. Some studies suggest that therapeutic stimulation of this pathway may improve maternal and fetal outcomes in preclinical models of pre-eclampsia. Modulation of vagal activity influences the CAP, improving maternal hemodynamics, limiting the inflammatory response, and promoting the growth of new neurons, which enhances synaptic plasticity and improves fetal neurodevelopment. Therefore, we postulate that modulation of vagal activity may improve maternal and fetal outcomes in pre-eclampsia by targeting underlying immune dysregulation and promoting better fetal neurodevelopment. In this perspective, we explore the clinical and experimental evidence of electrical, pharmacological, physical, and biological stimulation mechanisms capable of inducing therapeutical CAP, which may be applied in pre-eclampsia to improve the mother’s and offspring’s quality of life

Ultrafast measurements of mode-specific deformation potentials of Bi2_2Te3_3 and Bi2_2Se3_3

Quantifying electron-phonon interactions for the surface states of topological materials can provide key insights into surface-state transport, topological superconductivity, and potentially how to manipulate the surface state using a structural degree of freedom. We perform time-resolved x-ray diffraction (XRD) and angle-resolved photoemission (ARPES) measurements on Bi$_2$Te$_3$ and Bi$_2$Se$_3$, following the excitation of coherent A$_{1g}$ optical phonons. We extract and compare the deformation potentials coupling the surface electronic states to local A$_{1g}$-like displacements in these two materials using the experimentally determined atomic displacements from XRD and electron band shifts from ARPES.We find the coupling in Bi$_2$Te$_3$ and Bi$_2$Se$_3$ to be similar and in general in agreement with expectations from density functional theory. We establish a methodology that quantifies the mode-specific electron-phonon coupling experimentally, allowing detailed comparison to theory. Our results shed light on fundamental processes in topological insulators involving electron-phonon coupling

Taking the pulse of Earth's tropical forests using networks of highly distributed plots

Tropical forests are the most diverse and productive ecosystems on Earth. While better understanding of these forests is critical for our collective future, until quite recently efforts to measure and monitor them have been largely disconnected. Networking is essential to discover the answers to questions that transcend borders and the horizons of funding agencies. Here we show how a global community is responding to the challenges of tropical ecosystem research with diverse teams measuring forests tree-by-tree in thousands of long-term plots. We review the major scientific discoveries of this work and show how this process is changing tropical forest science. Our core approach involves linking long-term grassroots initiatives with standardized protocols and data management to generate robust scaled-up results. By connecting tropical researchers and elevating their status, our Social Research Network model recognises the key role of the data originator in scientific discovery. Conceived in 1999 with RAINFOR (South America), our permanent plot networks have been adapted to Africa (AfriTRON) and Southeast Asia (T-FORCES) and widely emulated worldwide. Now these multiple initiatives are integrated via ForestPlots.net cyber-infrastructure, linking colleagues from 54 countries across 24 plot networks. Collectively these are transforming understanding of tropical forests and their biospheric role. Together we have discovered how, where and why forest carbon and biodiversity are responding to climate change, and how they feedback on it. This long-term pan-tropical collaboration has revealed a large long-term carbon sink and its trends, as well as making clear which drivers are most important, which forest processes are affected, where they are changing, what the lags are, and the likely future responses of tropical forests as the climate continues to change. By leveraging a remarkably old technology, plot networks are sparking a very modern revolution in tropical forest science. In the future, humanity can benefit greatly by nurturing the grassroots communities now collectively capable of generating unique, long-term understanding of Earth's most precious forests.Additional co-authors: Susan Laurance, William Laurance, Francoise Yoko Ishida, Andrew Marshall, Catherine Waite, Hannsjoerg Woell, Jean-Francois Bastin, Marijn Bauters, Hans Beeckman, Pfascal Boeckx, Jan Bogaert, Charles De Canniere, Thales de Haulleville, Jean-Louis Doucet, Olivier Hardy, Wannes Hubau, Elizabeth Kearsley, Hans Verbeeck, Jason Vleminckx, Steven W.
