Los determinantes del desarrollo local. Un estudio de caso en Chiapas,México

Aunque existe consenso a nivel conceptual sobre la importancia del desarrollo local y sus elementos clave, como la potenciación de las capacidades locales y la participación; no lo hay respecto a cómo llevarlo a la práctica. Una de las propuestas más recientes es el desarrollo local en red, el cual fomenta la colaboración de las dependencias gubernamentales con los actores del territorio; su validez depende de identificar los factores determinantes para lograr el desarrollo local e incorporar las lecciones surgidas de las experiencias de sus aplicaciones. En el presente artículo se tuvo como objetivo identificar los factores determinantes para el desarrollo local en red, para lo cual se analizó un estudio de caso de desarrollo local en los Altos de Chiapas, donde se utilizaron como ejes de análisis los especificados por la iniciativa Europea LEADER. Los resultados muestran que los factores de éxito más importantes en el caso estudiado, son la creación de un grupo de acción local y la descentralización financiera, ya que ambos determinaron el alcance de otros factores secundarios. El eje enfoque integral y multisectorial de las acciones de desarrollo es una de las áreas de oportunidad más interesantes en el caso estudiado

Evaluación de la institucionalización de la nueva gobernanza en el desarrollo rural en México

La institucionalidad con enfoque de nueva gobernanza es el paradigma dominante en la agenda internacional. La nueva gobernanza tiene como valor supremo la eficiencia económica. Sobre esta institucionalidad descansa lo impulsado en desarrollo rural en México desde hace una década, que ha coincidido con la continuidad de gobiernos de centro-derecha. En la presente investigación se analiza la institucionalización de la nueva gobernanza en el desarrollo rural en México a través de dos estudios de caso: Alianza para el Campo, frente a un proyecto piloto de organismos multilaterales. Los resultados indican que a través de la descentralización se logró un equilibrio de poderes entre el Ejecutivo federal y los estados, pero no se avanzó en la participación de los actores sociales y privados, en la desregulación y la eficacia

USA: PUERTO RICO: MUNICIPALITY OF CABO ROJO: Cabo Rojo National Wildlife Refuge (17.978958°N, 67.170910oW; NAD 83). 10 November 2014. O. A. Diaz-Marrero. Verified by S. M. Boback. National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution (USNM Herp Image 2838a, b; photo vouchers). First municipality record for this exotic species; all previous reports were restricted to the Municipality of Mayaguez, located ca. 25 km north of Cabo Rojo National Wildlife Refuge. Reynolds et al. (2013. BioI. Invasions 15:953-959) concluded that Boa Constrictor introductions into Puerto Rico were likely related to the pet trade and that they genetically matched snakes belonging to the South American clade (B. constrictor), instead of B. imperator, the Mesoamerican species (Hynkova et al. 2009. Zool. Sci. 26:623-631). It also represents the first report of this species from a protected area in Puerto Rico

P-wave excited baryons from pion- and photo-induced hyperon production

We report evidence for $N(1710)P_{11}$, $N(1875)P_{11}$, $N(1900)P_{13}$, $\Delta(1600)P_{33}$, $\Delta(1910)P_{31}$, and $\Delta(1920)P_{33}$, and find indications that $N(1900)P_{13}$ might have a companion state at 1970\,MeV. The controversial $\Delta(1750)P_{31}$ is not seen. The evidence is derived from a study of data on pion- and photo-induced hyperon production, but other data are included as well. Most of the resonances reported here were found in the Karlsruhe-Helsinki (KH84) and the Carnegie-Mellon (CM) analyses but were challenged recently by the Data Analysis Center at GWU. Our analysis is constrained by the energy independent $\pi N$ scattering amplitudes from either KH84 or GWU. The two $\pi N$ amplitudes from KH84 or GWU, respectively, lead to slightly different $\pi N$ branching ratios of contributing resonances but the debated resonances are required in both series of fits.Comment: 22 pages, 28 figures.

Planning and community development: case studies

Planning and Comunity Development: Case Studies, presents the findings of the inter-university Seminar held on 28?29 July 2011 and organized by researchers from the Technical University of Madrid and the University of California, Berkeley, who were fortunate to have the presence of the renowned Professor John Friedmann. Professors, researchers and PhD students from our research groups presented their works as scientific communications that were enriched by the debate among the different researches who attended the Seminar. All of them appear in the picture below in front of the gate of Haviland Hall at UC Berkeley. This book analyses the concept of planning and its evolution so far, leading to the conceptualization of governance as an expression of the planning practice. It also studies the role of social capital and cooperation as tools for the community development. The conceptual analysis is complemented by the development of six case studies that put forward experiences of planning and community development carried out in diverse social and cultural contexts of Latin-America, Europe and North America. This publication comes after more than 20 years of work of the researchers that met at the seminar. Through their work in managing development initiatives, they have learned lessons and have contribute to shape their own body of teaching that develops and analyses the role of planning in public domain to promote community development. This knowledge is synthesized in the model Planning as Working With People, that shows that development is not effective unless is promoted in continuous collaboration with all the actors involved in the process

Aislamiento de Candida albicans de hisopado nasal y faríngeo en alumnos de secundaria

Objective: To determine the presence of Candida albicans in throat and nasal secretion in high school students. Design: Cross-sectional study. Setting: Institute of Tropical Medicine, Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos, Lima, Peru. Participants: High school students from San Juan Macias School in Santa Anita, Lima, Peru. Interventions: Nasal and throat samples were collected from 102 14-17 year-old students. Samples were grown on sabouraud agar and Candida CHROMOagar and identified by chlamydospores study and metabolic tests. Main outcome measures: Identification of C. albicans yeast. Results: Candida yeast was isolated from 11 students (10.8%). A significant percentage of yeast (36.4%) developed moderate resistance to fluconazole. Conclusions: Continuous surveillance of medically important yeasts in nasopharyngeal carriers is suggested in order to be prepared for eventual infectious conditions.Introducción: Candida sp puede encontrarse como comensal en equilibrio en la cavidad bucal humana; pero, en la población pediátrica y adolescente con un sistema inmune inmaduro las condiciones de la levadura se tornarían favorables para su patogenia. Objetivo: Determinar la presencia de Candida albicans en secreción faríngea y nasal en alumnos de educación secundaria. Diseño: Estudio descriptivo transversal. Lugar: Instituto de Medicina Tropical, Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos, Lima, Perú. Participantes: Alumnos del 4° (52) y 5° (50) años de secundaria. Intervenciones: En octubre del 2007, las muestras nasales y faríngeas de 102 estudiantes de 14 a 17 años fueron colectadas en medios de transporte y luego cultivadas en los laboratorios del Instituto de Medicina Tropical, en agar sabouraud y CHROMOagar Candida. Se identificó las colonias sospechosas de Candida sp mediante el estudio de clamiodoconidias, tubo germinativo y pruebas metabólicas. Principales medidas de resultados: Identificación de levaduras de Candida sp. Resultados: Se aisló levaduras del género Cándida en 11 de los escolares (10,8%). El 36,4% de las levaduras presentó resistencia moderada al antimicótico fluconazol. Conclusiones: Es recomendable continuar con estudios de vigilancia epidemiológica sobre las levaduras de importancia médica en portadores nasofaríngeos, con el fin estar preparados ante eventuales cuadros infecciosos

β3-adrenergic receptor gene, body mass index, bone mineral density and fracture risk in elderly men and women: the Dubbo Osteoporosis Epidemiology Study (DOES)

BACKGROUND: Recent studies have suggested that the Arg allele of β3-adrenergic receptor (ADRB3) gene is associated with body mass index (BMI), which is an important predictor of bone mineral density (BMD) and fracture risk. However, whether the ADRB3 gene polymorphism is associated with fracture risk has not been investigated. The aim of study was to examine the inter-relationships between ADRB3 gene polymorphisms, BMI, BMD and fracture risk in elderly Caucasians. METHODS: Genotypes of the ADRB3 gene were determined in 265 men and 446 women aged 60+ in 1989 at entry into the study, whose BMD were measured by DXA (GE Lunar, WI USA) at baseline. During the follow-up period (between 1989 and 2004), fractures were ascertained by reviewing radiography reports and personal interviews. RESULTS: The allelic frequencies of the Trp and the Arg alleles were 0.925 and 0.075 respectively, and the relative frequencies of genotypes Trp/Trp, Trp/Arg and Arg/Arg 0.857, 0.138 and 0.006 respectively. There was no significant association between BMI and ADRB3 genotypes (p = 0.10 in women and p = 0.68 in men). There was also no significant association between ADRB3 genotypes and lumbar spine or femoral neck BMD in either men and women. Furthermore, there were no significant association between ADRB3 genotypes and fracture risk in both women and men, either before or after adjusting for and, BMD and BMI. CONCLUSION: The present data suggested that in Caucasian population the contribution of ADRB3 genotypes to the prediction of BMI, BMD and fracture risk is limited
