Making Education Work For Latinas in the U.S.

This study examines the existing knowledge base about promoting Latina educational success, defined as completing high school and then going on to secure a college degree. It also adds to existing research by examining two large data sets - one national, and one California-based for predictors of successful educational outcomes for representative samples of Latina youth who have recently been in high school and college. Finally, after identifying important predictors of success from the existing literature, and the examination of current data, the study incorporates case studies of seven young Latinas who illustrate pathways of women who are finding their way to educational success through high school, community college, and four year universities. Their stories provide a deeper understanding of the challenges that young Latinas encounter in our culture, as well as the promise they represent

Characterization of virgin olive oils produced with autochthonous Galician varieties

The interest of Galician oil producers (NW Spain) in recovering the ancient autochthonous olive varieties Brava and Mansa has increased substantially in recent years. Virgin olive oils produced by co-crushing both varieties in two different proportions, reflecting the usual and most common practice adopted in this region, have gradually emerged for the production of virgin olive oils. Herein, the sensory and chemical characteristics of such oils were characterized by quality and genuineness-related parameters. The results of chemical analysis are discussed in terms of their effective contribution to the sensory profile, which suggests useful recommendations for olive oil producers to improve the quality of oils. Antioxidant compounds, together with aromas and coloured pigments were determined, and their contribution in determining the functional value and the sensory properties of oils was investigated. In general, given the high levels of phenolic compounds (ranging between 254 and 375 mg/kg oil), tocopherols (about 165 mg/kg oil) and carotenoids (10-12 mg/kg oil); these are oils with long stability, especially under dark storage conditions, because stability is reinforced with the contribution of chlorophylls (15-22 mg/kg oil). A major content of phenolic compounds, as well as a predominance of trans-2-hexen-1-al within odor-active compounds (from 897 to 1645 μg/kg oil), responsible for bitter sensory notes. This characterization allows to developing new antioxidant-rich and flavour-rich VOOs, when co-crushing with a higher proportion of Brava olives, satisfying the consumers' demand in having access to more healthy dishes and peculiar sensory attributes

Traditional plants from Asteraceae family as potential candidates for functional food industry

Traditional plants have been used in the treatment of disease and pain due to their beneficial properties such as antioxidant, antiinflammation, analgesic, and antibiotic activities. The Asteraceae family is one of the most common groups of plants used in folk medicine. The species Achillea millefolium, Arnica montana, Bellis perennis, Calendula officinalis, Chamaemelum nobile, Eupatorium cannabinum, Helichrysum stoechas, and Taraxacum officinale have been used in different remedies in Northwest Spain. Besides health benefits, some of them like C. nobile and H. stoechas are already employed in cooking and culinary uses, including cocktails, desserts, and savory dishes. This study aimed to review the current information on nutritive and beneficial properties and bioactive compounds of these plants, which are not mainly used as foods but are possible candidates for this purpose. The report highlights their current uses and suitability for the development of new functional food industrial applications. Phenolic compounds, essential oils, and sesquiterpene lactones are some of the most important compounds, being related to different bioactivities. Hence, they could be interesting for the development of new functional foods.The research leading to these results received institutioanl and financial support from the: Programa de Cooperación Interreg V-A España—Portugal (POCTEP) 2014–2020 (Projects Ref.: 0181_NANOEATERS_01_E and 0377_IBERPHENOL_6_E); MICINN supporting the Ramón&Cajal grant for M.

Evaluation in panoramic radiographies of the first permanent molar in children from 6 to 9 years old

El presente trabajo de investigación se realiza para determinar el estado del primer molar permanente en la población infantil que concurrió a la Facultad de Odontología, para su posterior derivación y tratamiento; realizar el diagnostico por imagen individual de cada niño; determinar primeros molares cariados; reconocer primeros molares obturados; identificar primeros molares en estado de salud y visualizar hallazgos radiográficos. La muestra será de n=200 pacientes niños de 6 a 9 años de edad (200= 200 radiografías panorámicas). Se pretenderá evidenciar el protagonismo del primer molar permanente en la cavidad bucal y las consecuencias que derivarían de su ausencia y/o patologías. La elección de las radiografías panorámicas se debe a que brindan una imagen de mejor calidad, menor porcentaje de repeticiones, menor dosis de radiación y opción de creación de archivos digitales. Esto permite compartir los resultados de estas radiografías entre los profesionales para establecer un diagnostico más rápido, eficaz y planificar estrategias para abordar las diferentes problemáticas bucales.The present research is made to determine the state of the first permanent molar In the child population that attended the Faculty of Dentistry, for its subsequent referral and treatment; perform the diagnosis by individual image of each child; determine decayed first molars; recognize sealed first molars; identify first molars in health status and visualize radiographic findings. The sample will be n=200 patients children from 6 to 9 years old (200 = 200 panoramic radiographs). We Intend to demonstrate the prominence of the first permanent molar In the oral cavity and the consequences that would result from its absence and / or pathologies. The panoramic radiograph's choice Is due to the fart that they provide a better quality Image, a lower percentage of repetitions, a lower radiation dose and the option of creating digital files. This allows us to share the results of these radiographs among professionals to establish a faster, more efficient diagnosis and plan strategies to address different oral problems.Facultad de Odontologí
