Morphological, physical and chemical traits related with fruit quality characteristics of Spondias purpurea L. agroecosystems were studied in Central-West Mexico for wild and cultivated populations. Spondias purpurea regularly thrive in shallow, rocky infertile soils unsuitable for conventional crops. The weight, axial and radial length, pH, total soluble solids (SST), reducing sugars, proteins and mineral content in fruits were recorded. The mean fresh fruit weight was superior in the cultivated varieties (20 g) than in the wild (16 g). Similarly the highest values of pH, SST, reducing sugars and protein content (3.3, 12.15° Brix, 0.38 g/100 g and 1.18 g/100 g, respectively) were observed in the cultivated plantations compared with wild populations (3.0, 8.31° Brix, 0.24 g/100 g and 0.14 g/100 g, respectively). In cultivated plantations, productivity ranged from 0.15 ton ha-1 to 5.0 ton ha-1, and must be considered satisfactory, considering the low inputs of fertilizers and pesticides applied to orchards. The fruits of S. purpurea are similar in nutrimental content to more important commercial fruit species; it produces fresh fruits during the dry months of spring, when few fresh fruits are available in the local markets. In addition, S. purpurea is a source of water and food for domestic animals and wild fauna. These traits emphasize their agronomical and ecological importance for tropical and subtropical environments, where it can also be used in reforestation programs because it can grow in infertile rocky soils, and in agroecosystems inhabited by low income farmers that practice subsistence agriculture. In fact, the cultivation of Spondias has helped convert marginal lands into productive lands. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article examines the behavioral aspects related to the rational process of comparing the expected benefits of action versus the costs associated with it. The economic theory of the crime, examines how offenders respond to the opportunities for their misdeeds, where individuals seek to maximize their utility expectations. It examines the different models and economic theories that attempt to give an account on the criminal phenomenon. Finally, the intention is to develop a theoretical framework to cover more general problem of the decision of who commits the crime and who suffers the same lines outlining the preliminary design or development of the framework.

Objetivo: Evaluar la composición de ácidos grasos (AG) plasmáticos y de las fracciones lipídicas del plasma en niños obesos con y sin síndrome metabólico (SM) en relación con un grupo control. Material y métodos: Se seleccionaron 34 niños obesos en edad prepuberal; de ellos 17 cumplían con los criterios de SM; 20 niños con índice de masa corporal (IMC) normal se incluyeron como controles. Se determinaron las variables asociadas al SM (IMC, TG, HDL-colesterol, glucosa, insulina y tensión arterial). Se calcularon los índices HOMA y QUICKI de resistencia y sensibilidad tisular a la insulina. Las fracciones lipídicas se separaron por cromatografía HPLC y los AG se determinaron por cromatografía gas-líquido. El análisis estadístico se realizó mediante ANOVA de una vía, regresión simple y múltiple y regresión logística, utilizando el programa SPSS 13.0. Resultados: Las concentraciones de 16:1 n-7, 16:1 n-9, 18:3 n-3, 22:6 n-3 y AGPI n-3 en los lípidos plasmáticos, así como las de 16:0, 16: 1n-7, 18:1 n-9, 18:2 n-6 y AGPI n-3 en los triglicéridos del plasma (TG) fueron significativamente inferiores (P < 0,05) en los niños obesos con SM que en los niños con peso normal. El riesgo aumentado de SM se asoció positivamente con la concentración plasmática de 16:1 n-7 y negativamente con la proporción de 20:4 n-6 (OR, 2,76; P = 0,004; OR, 0,56, P = 0,030, respectivamente). Los AG saturados en los TG se asociaron con el índice HOMA HOMA-IR (R = 0,349, P = 0,017) y el 22:5 n-6 con los niveles de adiponectina (R = 0,336, P = 0,05). Conclusiones: Los cambios en la composición de AG plasmáticos en niños obesos en edad prepuberal se relacionan con la presencia precoz de SM. Las concentraciones elevadas de 16:1 n-7 y el descenso en la proporción de 20:4 n-6 son indicadores tempranos de la presencia de SM en la infancia. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
