Conscious procreation: neo-malthusianism in southern Europe and Latin America in around 1900

One main concern of Ecological Economics is the balance between human population and natural resources. This is rightly named the Malthusian question because Malthus predicted that human populations, if unchecked, would grow exponentially while agricultural production (and other land-based productions) would be subject to decreasing returns to the labour input. This article shows that over one hundred years ago, there was in Europe and America a successful social movement that called itself Neo-Malthusianism. In contrast to Malthus’ pessimism, it believed that population growth could be stopped among the poor classes by voluntary decisions. Women were entitled to choose the number of children they wanted to have. The movement did not appeal to the State to impose restrictions on population growth. On the contrary, in Southern Europe it was based on "bottom up" activism against governments and the Catholic Church.

An illustrated flora of the northern United States, Canada and the British possessions, from Newfoundland to the parallel of the southern boundary of Virginia, and from the Atlantic Ocean westward to the 102d meridian, by Nathaniel Lord Britton and Addison Brown. The descriptive text chiefly prepared by Britton, with the assistance of specialists in several groups; the figures also drawn under his supervision.

Informe final de la beca BE realizada en la California San Francisco

Investigación producida a partir de una estancia de dos meses en el laboratorio de la Dra. Donna M. Ferriero del departamento de neurología de la University of Californai San Francisco. A partir de un modelo de lesión cerebral isquemica en ratas postnatales, se han estudiado los efectos de la interacción con integrinas en el desarrollo de la lesión como estrategia terapéutica.

Informe de la estancia realizada en el departamento de agricultura de los Estados Unidos (USDA) California, USA

Investigación producida a partir de una estancia en el Departamento de Agricultura de los Estados Unidos (United States Department of Agricultura - USDA), California, USA, entre el 1 de Julio y el 30 de Septiembre del 2005. Las coberturas comestibles están siendo consideradas en frutas frescas cortadas, como una estrategia para reducir los efectos perjudiciales que inflige el proceso mínimo en los tejidos vegetales. El empleo de puré de frutas constituye una excelente opción para la formación de recubrimientos o películas comestibles, ya que es una matriz constituida por polisacáridos primarios (sustancias pépticas y celulósicas) con propiedades de permeabilidad a la película y plastificantes gracias a los azúcares presentes en las frutas. Estas películas son buenas barreras contra el oxígeno en sistemas alimenticios de baja humedad, mejorando la calidad de los productos y extendiendo su vida útil. Se evalúa películas a base de puré de manzana como soporte de agentes antioxidantes y de aceites esenciales como antimicrobianos. Se estudia su permeabilidad al vapor de agua y al oxígeno, además de las propiedades de tensión, color y antimicrobianas.
