Women as editors-in-chief of environmental science journals
This research note describes an analysis regarding the role of women as editors-in chief of environmental science journals. The list of journals analyzed was obtained from the database of “Web of Science”, published in 2015. This database does not include information on the name or gender of the editors-in-chief of journals, so a web search was performed. The results show that gender inequality is present in this important field of science. Causes of this bias merit more and profound research. The bias observed may not apply to journals of others areas of science

Analysis of mortality during the winter seasons in Mexico from 2000 to 2012
To analyze mortality from all causes in Mexico during the winter months. Methods: Data was extracted and tabulated on monthly all-cause mortality in the general population
from 2000 to 2012 from the INEGI database. Coeficients of seasonal variation in mortality were calculated. Results: In Mexico there was an increase of 14 % in mortality in the general population during winter. The more susceptible age groups were older people and children, with increases of 18% and 13% respectively. The months with low levels of mortality were April, October and September for children, adolescents and older people respectively. Conclusions: Important increases in winter mortality occur in Mexico
Cancer Mortality in Older Mexican Individuals (2000 – 2010)
Objective: Given the trends in aging worldwide, in Mexico, we determined trends in adjusted mortality rates due
to cancer and 11 cancer subtypes in older individuals (>65 years) from 2000 to 2010.
Methods: For this retrospective study, we collected data on mortality due to cancer from the registries of the
National Institute of Statistics and Geography. Adjusted rates were calculated with a direct method based on the
world standard population. Trend analysis was performed with a linear regression of the natural logarithm of the
adjusted rate, and trends were evaluated with the Student´s t test.
Results: During the studied period, the cancer mortality rates significantly declined from 630.21 to 573.03 (per
100,000 inhabitants) in the overall population. Similar declines were observed in women (from 548.81 to 490.09)
and men (from 726.03 to 672.94). Significant declines in mortality rates were observed across several cancer
subtypes, including esophageal, gastric, colorectal-anal, liver-biliary, pancreatic, and tracheal-bronchial-lung
cancers. Significant increases in mortality rates were observed in colorectal and breast cancer, but no changes were
observed in mortality rates due to prostate, ovarian, bladder, and non-Hodgkin lymphoma cancers.
Conclusion: Mortality due to cancer in older Mexicans was lower than that observed in developed countries, and
it significantly declined over the study period. Men had higher mortality rates than women. The highest mortality
rates were due to breast and prostate cancer subtypes in older individuals
