    El problema del abastecimiento de agua dulce existe en diversas partes del mundo, la escasez de dicho recurso es evidente, tal como evidencia el Foro Económico Mundial (WEF por sus siglas en inglés), en su reporte de riesgos globales del año 2018, donde se expresa que, en la última década, la crisis del agua ha estado siempre dentro del top cinco de riesgos globales en términos de impacto social. Este problema no es ajeno a México y mucho menos a Ciudad Juárez donde se desarrolló esta investigación. Visualizando desde la arquitectura, la necesidad de generar edificios sostenibles que puedan mitigar el sobre explotamiento de los mantos freáticos, se desarrolló la idea de utilizar el sistema del techo escudo como captador pluvial, creando así un modelo multifuncional que tuviera una captación pluvial eficiente y un mejor comportamiento térmico. Para validar dicha primicia se desarrolló una investigación aplicada de corte cuantitativo, donde se elaboraron tres modelos experimentales con la capacidad de medir la cantidad de lluvia cosechada y el comportamiento térmico en el interior de los mismos, con la finalidad de comparar la combinación del techo escudo con la captación pluvial y su comportamiento por separado.The fresh water supply is a problem in various parts of the world. The shortage of this resource is evident, as seen by the World Economic Forum´s Global Risks Report (2018) which states that in the last decade the water crisis has always been one of the top five global risks in terms of social impact. This problem is not foreign to Mexico and much less so to Ciudad Juárez where this research was carried out. Visualizing this problem from an architectural point of view, there is a need to create sustainable buildings that can mitigate the overexploitation of the water table. Therefore, the idea to ​​use a double roof system as a rainwater collector was developed, and a multifunctional model with efficient rainwater catchment and better thermal behavior was created. To validate these first steps, an applied quantitative study was carried out in which three experimental models were developed to measure the amount of rainwater harvested and the thermal behavior within the models, in order to compare the combination of the double roof with and without rainwater catchment

    Objective: To study and understand the population's perception in a region of the Estado de Mexico about the role of certified organic food in health and the environment, as well as the economic impact generated by its consumption. Desing/methodology/approach: A survey was conducted among a population sample of 10 municipalities in the Estado de Mexico, which consisted of seven questions related to certified organic food. Results: The population has an idea about what certified organic food is, although they confuse it with other types of food.  Study limitations/ implications: Results were obtained from an e-mail survey because this study was conducted during the current 2020-2021 pandemic. Findings/conclusion: The information obtained suggests that the population has a great perception about the intake of certified organic food, but there is confusion about other types of food. However, the population is willing to consume them because of their potential health and environment benefits

    Ética profesional en educación superior : finalidades, estrategias y desafíos de la formación

    Todo proyecto educativo que no responde a su época se expone a problemas de legitimidad y al duro escrutinio y sanción de los usuarios. Las instituciones de educación superior no son la excepción de esta premisa clásica, incluso más validada por eldinamismos, la versatilidad y ojo crítico en el mundo contemporáneo. La ética se ha convertido en el baremo principal para someter a juicio a las instituciones y a las personas que ahí actuan, como a las finalidades que se pretenden en sus acciones. En esta perspectiva, debe examinarse la función de las instituciones de educación superior.Este libro es el esfuerzo colectivo por acercarnos a esa problemática, en especial a las finalidades, estrategias y relaciones en juego para cumplir la tarea de la formación y sus nexos inevitables con la ética profesional

    CIBERER : Spanish national network for research on rare diseases: A highly productive collaborative initiative

    Get PDF
    Altres ajuts: Instituto de Salud Carlos III (ISCIII); Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación.CIBER (Center for Biomedical Network Research; Centro de Investigación Biomédica En Red) is a public national consortium created in 2006 under the umbrella of the Spanish National Institute of Health Carlos III (ISCIII). This innovative research structure comprises 11 different specific areas dedicated to the main public health priorities in the National Health System. CIBERER, the thematic area of CIBER focused on rare diseases (RDs) currently consists of 75 research groups belonging to universities, research centers, and hospitals of the entire country. CIBERER's mission is to be a center prioritizing and favoring collaboration and cooperation between biomedical and clinical research groups, with special emphasis on the aspects of genetic, molecular, biochemical, and cellular research of RDs. This research is the basis for providing new tools for the diagnosis and therapy of low-prevalence diseases, in line with the International Rare Diseases Research Consortium (IRDiRC) objectives, thus favoring translational research between the scientific environment of the laboratory and the clinical setting of health centers. In this article, we intend to review CIBERER's 15-year journey and summarize the main results obtained in terms of internationalization, scientific production, contributions toward the discovery of new therapies and novel genes associated to diseases, cooperation with patients' associations and many other topics related to RD research

    Actas de congresoLas VII Jornadas de Investigación “Encuentro y Reflexión” y I Jornadas de Investigación de becarios y doctorandos. Proyecto, investigación e innovación en Urbanismo, Arquitectura y Diseño Industrial se centraron en cuatro ejes: el proyecto; la dimensión tecnológica y la gestión; la dimensión social y cultural y la enseñanza en Arquitectura, Urbanismo y Diseño Industrial, sustentados en las líneas prioritarias de investigación definidas epistemológicamente en el Consejo Asesor de Ciencia y Tecnología de esta Universidad Nacional de Córdoba. Con el objetivo de afianzar continuidad, formación y transferencia de métodos, metodología y recursos se incorporó becarios y doctorandos de los Institutos de investigación. La Comisión Honoraria la integraron las tres Secretarias de Investigación de la Facultad, arquitectas Marta Polo, quien fundó y María del Carmen Franchello y Nora Gutiérrez Crespo quienes continuaron la tradición de la buena práctica del debate en la cotidianeidad de la propia Facultad. Los textos que conforman las VII Jornadas son los avances y resultados de las investigaciones realizadas en el bienio 2016-2018.Fil: Novello, María Alejandra. Universidad Nacional de Córdoba.

    Effect of grasshopper (Sphenarium purpurascens Charpentier) paste addition on rheological behavior of Mole Poblano

    Get PDF
    Objective: Analyze the effect of grasshopper (Sphenarium purpurascens Charpentier) paste addition on the rheological behavior of Mole Poblano (MP) and its relation with the technological properties of the grasshopper paste. Design/methodology/approach: The addition of grasshopper paste was done at different proportions as follows: T0= 0% of grasshopper paste (GP) and 100% of mole Poblano (MP); T10=10% GP and 90% MP; T15=15% GP and 85% MP, T20=20% GP and 80% MP, T25=25% GP and 75 % MP, T30=30% GP and 70% MP. Water retention and emulsifying capacity of grasshopper paste were evaluated. Density, kinematic and apparent viscosity, and rheological behavior were analyzed at 25ºC; rheological parameters (consistency index (k) and flow behavior index (n)) were calculated by performing a regression analysis to adjust the graphs to a power-law model. Findings/conclusion: Grasshopper paste had higher emulsifying capability than water retention capability.  Apparent viscosity of all formulations decreased as shear rate increased, so all mixtures of GP and MP demonstrated No-Newtonian behavior and pseudoplastic performance. Index consistency increased as GP content increased, these results are related with protein content because GP had a good emulsifying capability. Limitations on study/implications: More studies about the characterization of the proteins of GP and their interaction with other components are required
