Education, gender, and state-level disparities in the health of older Indians: Evidence from biomarker data

Using new biomarker data from the 2010 pilot round of the Longitudinal Aging Study in India (LASI), we investigate education, gender, and state-level disparities in health. We find that hemoglobin level, a marker for anemia, is lower for respondents with no schooling (0.7 g/dL less in the adjusted model) compared to those with some formal education and is also lower for females than for males (2.0 g/dL less in the adjusted model). In addition, we find that about one third of respondents in our sample aged 45 or older have high C-reaction protein (CRP) levels (>3 mg/L), an indicator of inflammation and a risk factor for cardiovascular disease. We find no evidence of educational or gender differences in CRP, but there are significant state-level disparities, with Kerala residents exhibiting the lowest CRP levels (a mean of 1.96 mg/L compared to 3.28 mg/L in Rajasthan, the state with the highest CRP). We use the Blinder–Oaxaca decomposition approach to explain group-level differences, and find that state-level disparities in CRP are mainly due to heterogeneity in the association of the observed characteristics of respondents with CRP, rather than differences in the distribution of endowments across the sampled state populations.

La cocina de los venenos. Aspectos de la criminalidad en el Nuevo Reino de Granada, siglos XVII-XVIII

Durante los siglos XVII y XVIII se presentaron varias querellas ante el Tribunal de Justicia Criminal del Nuevo Reino de Granada, en las que se denunciaba que había personas que ejercían los oficios médicos sin tener títulos que los acreditaran como facultativos en las artes curativas. Por ese entonces, se creía que quienes utilizaban yerbas y conjuros como métodos terapéuticos, por lo general mujeres, debían ser juzgadas como yerbateras-envenenadoras, porque no pretendían curar sino matar a quien consumiera sus preparados. El texto establece que los procesos criminales por envenenamiento constituyen un prisma en el que convergen diferentes problemáticas del periodo colonial neogranadino, relacionadas con la salud, los oficios médicos, las enfermedades, las creencias mágico-religiosas, el ideal de mujer en la época, la delincuencia, y las dinámicas de las instituciones españolas, entre otras. De esta manera, se estudió cómo fue la relación entre los aspectos jurídicos, las leyes criminales (dictadas por la Corona) y las conductas “desviadas” (relacionadas con el crimen por envenenamiento) de los habitantes del Nuevo Reino de Granada, entre los siglos XVII y XVIII. Para ello se revistaron desde diferentes perspectivas, varios temas del mundo colonial neogranadino, relacionados con los rumores, la comidilla, los chismes y la importancia de la comunicación hablada en el virreinato; el problema de la honra, como una de las virtudes más sobresalientes de la época y las creencias de la cultura popular con relación al envenenamiento y los diferentes métodos curativos.

Análisis del TLC entre Colombia y Estados Unidos de América, con los Estados de Colorado, Conneticut, Delaware, Dakota del sur y Florida

Este estudio nace con el propósito de analizar la influencia que tiene la economía americana en nuestro país; para entender por qué Estados Unidos es el socio comercial más importante para Colombia en términos de exportaciones y evaluar el impacto que ha tenido en el Tratado de Libre Comercio en la economía de estos países. Teniendo en cuenta lo anterior, se decidió hacer un análisis enfocado entre Colombia y Estados Unidos, específicamente en los estados de Connecticut, Colorado, Delaware, Dakota del Sur, Florida. Se presentan aspectos del territorio, la población, la política, la economía, entre otros. Por otra parte, se presentan cifras de la balanza comercial de Colombia con Estados Unidos entre los años del 2010 al 2014, las cuales permiten analizar la interacción económica entre ambos países, su evolución en el tiempo y su comportamiento después de la entrada en vigor del Tratado de Libre Comercio. Lo cual permite evidenciar que para el 2014 se presentó una balanza comercial deficitaria de 4.807 millones de USD. Con base a esto, dentro de las oportunidades comerciales de exportación para Colombia, se encuentra la industria textil, con un porcentaje del 30,9%; asientos de madera, muebles y acabados, con un incremento del 24,73%. De lo anterior podemos referir que estos sectores de industrias colombianas, reflejan un alto potencial de competitividad con los Estados Americanos, ya que estos sectores, también reflejan un alza en el incremento de las importaciones.
