Phenolic compounds, one of the most widely distributed groups of secondary metabolites in plants, have received a lot of attention in the last few years since the consumption of vegetables and beverages with a high level of such compounds may reduce risks of the development of several diseases. This is partially due to their antioxidant power since other interactions with cell functions have been discovered. What’s more, phenolic compounds are involved in many functions in plants, such as sensorial properties, structure, pollination, resistance to pests and predators, germination, processes of seed, development, and reproduction. Phenolic compounds can be classified in different ways, rang...

La presa El Cajón en el municipio de Tonalá

El objetivo de esta investigación fue caracterizar el modelo de ocupación y explotación del tramo urbano y fluvial de la presa El Cajón, en el municipio de Tonalá, Jalisco. Esta zona era parte del ejido San José Tatepozco, pero por convenio federal le fueron expropiadas 48 hectáreas, para después ser entregadas a la Universidad de Guadalajara. Con esto se realizó una interpretación y análisis del modelo, para valorar su contribución al desarrollo social local y sustentable, así como a la protección del medio ambiente de la zona. Todo esto a partir del desarrollo del proyecto del Centro Universitario de Tonalá (CUT), que en 2012 fue iniciado por la Universidad de Guadalajara. De esta manera, los resultados aquí expuestos se pueden utilizar para mejorar las acciones que ya se realizan y generar nuevas que contribuyan al desarrollo sustentable de la zona. La autora, Andrea Esperanza González Torres, es licenciada en Estudios Internacionales por la Universidad de Guadalajara, tiene la maestría en Planificación Territorial y Gestión Medioambiental por la Universitat de Barcelona (UB).

The greatest wisdom comes from the smallest creatures There is so much we can learn from birds. Through twenty-two little lessons of wisdom inspired by how birds live, this charming french book will help you spread your wings and soar. We often need the help from those smaller than us. Having spent a lifetime watching birds, Philippe and Élise – a French ornithologist and a philosopher – draw out the secret lessons that birds can teach us about how to live, and the wisdom of the natural world. Along the way you’ll discover why the robin is braver than the eagle, what the arctic tern can teach us about the joy of travel, and whether the head or the heart is the best route to love (as shown by the mallard and the penguin). By the end you will feel more in touch with the rhythms of nature and have a fresh perspective on how to live the fullest life you can.

Housing Policy in Latin American Cities

  • Publisher: Routledge

After the 1960s, rapid urbanization in developing regions in Latin America, Africa, and Asia was marked by the expansion of low-income "irregular" settlements that developed informally and which, by the 2000s, often constituted between 20-60 percent of the built-up area of metropolitan areas and other large cities. There has been a variety of research directed at the housing policies involved with these informal settlements, yet apart from the activities of Latin American Housing Network (LAHN), there has been minimal attention directed at the earliest portion of settlements that formed some 25-40 years ago that now form a large part of the intermediate ring of the cities. This volume breaks...
