Modelo causal moderado por el conocimiento en la intención de compra de alimentos orgánicos no procesados de los habitantes en pobreza extrema en la zona urbana de Hermosillo, Sonora, México

El presente artículo tiene como objetivo desarrollar un modelo que permita definir y determinar cuáles son los atributos de calidad (intrínsecos y extrínsecos) y de creencia que influyen en la intención de compra de alimentos orgánicos no procesados, así como la influencia que ejerce el conocimiento de ellos sobre el consumo de la población en pobreza extrema en Hermosillo, Sonora (México). Para dar respuesta al objetivo planteado, se desarrolló trabajo de campo con una muestra de 382 encuestados, en 10 colonias. La metodología de análisis utilizada fue el modelo de ecuaciones estructurales (SEM, por sus siglas en inglés). Se contrastaron tres de cinco hipótesis planteadas, de donde se puede inferir que el “conocimiento” es un elemento clave en la intención de compra de la población en pobreza extrema

Trustworthy Privacy Indicators: Grades, Labels, Certifications, and Dashboards

Despite numerous groups’ efforts to score, grade, label, and rate the privacy of websites, apps, and network-connected devices, these attempts at privacy indicators have, thus far, not been widely adopted. Privacy policies, however, remain long, complex, and impractical for consumers. Communicating in some short-hand form, synthesized privacy content is now crucial to empower internet users and provide them more meaningful notice, as well as nudge consumers and data processors toward more meaningful privacy. Indeed, on the basis of these needs, the National Institute of Standards and Technology and the Federal Trade Commission in the United States, as well as lawmakers and policymakers in the European Union, have advocated for the development of privacy indicator systems. Efforts to develop privacy grades, scores, labels, icons, certifications, seals, and dashboards have wrestled with various deficiencies and obstacles for the wide-scale deployment as meaningful and trustworthy privacy indicators. This paper seeks to identify and explain these deficiencies and obstacles that have hampered past and current attempts. With these lessons, the article then offers criteria that will need to be established in law and policy for trustworthy indicators to be successfully deployed and adopted through technological tools. The lack of standardization prevents user-recognizability and dependability in the online marketplace, diminishes the ability to create automated tools for privacy, and reduces incentives for consumers and industry to invest in privacy indicators. Flawed methods in selection and weighting of privacy evaluation criteria and issues interpreting language that is often ambiguous and vague jeopardize success and reliability when baked into an indicator of privacy protectiveness or invasiveness. Likewise, indicators fall short when those organizations rating or certifying the privacy practices are not objective, trustworthy, and sustainable. Nonetheless, trustworthy privacy rating systems that are meaningful, accurate, and adoptable can be developed to assure effective and enduring empowerment of consumers. This paper proposes a framework using examples from prior and current attempts to create privacy indicator systems in order to provide a valuable resource for present-day, real world policymaking. First, privacy rating systems need an objective and quantifiable basis that is fair and accountable to the public. Unlike previous efforts through industry self-regulation, if lawmakers and regulators establish standardized evaluation criteria for privacy practices and provide standards for how these criteria should be weighted in scoring techniques, the rating system will have public accountability with an objective, quantifiable basis. If automated rating mechanisms convey to users accepted descriptions of data practices or generate scores from privacy statements based on recognized criteria and weightings rather than from deductive conclusions, then this reduces interpretive issues with any privacy technology tool. Second, rating indicators should align with legal principles of contract interpretation and the existing legal defaults for the interpretation of silence in privacy policy language. Third, a standardized system of icons, along with guidelines as to where these should be located, will reduce the education and learning curve now necessary to understand and benefit from many different, inconsistent privacy indicator labeling systems. And lastly, privacy rating evaluators must be impartial, honest, autonomous, and financially and operationally durable in order to be successful

Nutritional parameters to develop a good physical training and quality of life in sport

La nutrición es uno de los factores más importantes en la realización del ejercicio físico, es la garantía de su buena ejecución. Sin embargo, no se le es dada la importancia que le corresponde por su magnitud. Motivo que incentivó la realización de este trabajo con los objetivos de determinar el papel de la nutrición en el ejercicio físico  e identificar las proporciones de nutrientes adecuados en la dieta deportiva. Después de una exhaustiva revisión se determinó que la dieta es un elemento fundamental y con una relación indisoluble con el ejercicio. Dieta que no debe ser sustituida por suplementos vitamínicos, pero que pasadas dos horas después del ejercicio se debe comer abundantes carbohidratos para recuperar la energía gastada. Cuidado, no debe excluir de su dieta los otros nutrientes todos son necesarios, incluso el agua.The nutrition is one of the most important factors in the realization of the physical exercise, it is the guarantee of its good execution. However, the importance is not given that corresponds him for its magnitude. I motivate that incentivated the realization of this work with the objectives of to determine the paper of the nutrition in the physical exercise and to identify the proportions of nutrients adapted in the sport diet. After an exhaustive revision it was determined that the diet is a fundamental element and with an indissoluble relationship with the exercise. Diet that should not be substituted by supplements vitamínicos, but that passed two hours after the exercise it should be eaten abundant carbohydrates to recover the wornout energy. Care, it should not exclude of their diet the other nutrients all they are necessary, even the water

Drought-induced biomass burning as a source of black carbon to the central Himalaya since 1781 CE as reconstructed from the Dasuopu ice core

Himalayan glaciers are melting due to atmospheric warming, with the potential to limit access to water for more than 25 % of the global population that resides in these glacier meltwater catchments. Black carbon has been implicated as a factor that is contributing to Himalayan glacier melt, but its sources and mechanisms of delivery to the Himalayas remain controversial. Here, we provide a 211-year ice core record spanning 1781–1992 CE for refractory black carbon (rBC) deposition from the Dasuopu glacier ice core that has to date provided the highest-elevation ice core record (7200 m). We report an average rBC concentration of 1.5 µg L−1 (SD=5.0, n=1628) over the 211-year period. An increase in the frequency and magnitude of rBC deposition occurs after 1877 CE, accompanied by decreased snow accumulation associated with a shift in the North Atlantic Oscillation Index to a positive phase. Typically, rBC is deposited onto Dasuopu glacier during the non-monsoon season, and short-lived increases in rBC concentration are associated with periods of drought within neighboring regions in northwestern India, Afghanistan, and Pakistan. Using a combination of spectral and back-trajectory analyses, as well as a comparison with a concurrent analysis of trace metals at equivalent depths in the same ice core, we show that biomass burning resulting from dry conditions is a source of rBC to the central Himalaya and is responsible for deposition that is up to 60 times higher than the average rBC concentration over the time period analyzed. We suggest that biomass burning is a significant source of rBC to the central Himalaya and that the rBC record can be used to identify periods of drought in nearby regions that are upwind of Dasuopu glacier

La inseguridad laboral, el engagement y el rol moderador de la justicia organizacional

Uno de los factores clave para el ?xito sostenible de las empresas es contar con trabajadores con altos niveles de engagement. Los trabajadores ?engaged? se muestran involucrados cognitiva y emocionalmente con sus trabajos, entusiasmados y orgullosos de su labor; y se expresan en?rgicos en su desempe?o. El engagement permite a las organizaciones responder con mayor eficiencia a las demandas del mundo laboral, favoreciendo su rentabilidad y competitividad. Por lo que, resulta esencial definir qu? condiciones laborales se deben fomentar para lograr el desarrollo y preservaci?n del engagement. El presente estudio se basa en la ?Teor?a de Demandas y Recursos Laborales?, que formula que los recursos laborales favorecen el engagement y las demandas laborales lo disminuyen. Bajo este modelo, la investigaci?n considera a la inseguridad laboral como una demanda laboral que perjudica el Engagement; y formula que la justicia organizacional y sus 4 dimensiones (distributiva, procedimental, interpersonal e informativa) son recursos laborales que disminuyen el impacto de la inseguridad laboral. Los resultados validan el rol moderador que cumple la justicia organizacional sobre la relaci?n entre la inseguridad laboral y el engagement. Asimismo, determinan que la justicia interpersonal cumple un rol moderador, validando la importancia del lado social de la justicia organizacional
