Este artículo tiene el objetivo de explorar la cooperación binacional entre México y Estados Unidos sobre Sistemas Micro-Electro Mecánicos (MEMS) y Sistemas Nano-Electro Mecánicos (NEMS). Es una cooperación que está en sus albores, pues tiene menos de una década. Sin embargo, su desarrollo muestra al menos dos cuestiones que merecen destacarse. Una de ellas es la coincidencia de intereses militares y civiles en la investigación y desarrollo (I+D) de esta tecnología. Este propósito común hace posible la formación de recursos humanos y la especialización de civiles mexicanos dentro de instituciones estadounidenses con orientación militar; pero levanta la duda sobre el grado de independencia de la agenda de investigación de MEMS en México. Otra cuestión a tener en cuenta es que las instituciones mexicanas son capaces de desarrollar nuevas áreas tecnológicas con poca tradición, siempre y cuando la voluntad política esté presente.

Latin American countries are experiencing an increasing burden of tobacco-related diseases. Smoke free policies are cost-effective interventions to control both exposure of non-smokers to the toxic chemicals in secondhand tobacco smoke and to reduce the prevalence of smoking and its consequent morbidity and mortality. The World Health Organization Framework Convention on Tobacco Control has created momentum in Latin America to implement meaningful tobacco control policies. As of August 2007, Uruguay, two provinces and three cities in Argentina, and one state in Venezuela, had passed, regulated, and enforced 100% smoke free legislation. The tobacco industry, working through local subsidiaries, has been the strongest obstacle in achieving this goal and has prevented progress elsewhere in the region. During the 1990s, transnational tobacco companies Philip Morris International and British American Tobacco developed voluntary initiatives (''Courtesy of Choice'' and ''Environmental Tobacco Smoke Consultancy'' programs) to prevent effective smoke free policies. Another important barrier in the region has often been a weak and fragmented local civil society. Opportunities in the region that should be taken into account are a high public support for smoke free environments and increasing capacity building available from international collaboration on tobacco control. Policymakers and tobacco control advocates should prioritize the implementation of smoke free policies in Latin America to protect non-smokers, reduce smoking prevalence with its economic and disease burden in the region.
Non-communicable diseases, particularly cardiovascular diseases, are the leading cause of decreased life expectancy and death in Latin America and the Caribbean. Although a lifestyle, which includes no tobacco use, good nutrition, and regular physical activity is touted as key to health, the environmental, racial, social and economic conditions, which underpin lifestyle are often ignored or considered only secondarily. Placing the main responsibility on a patient to change their lifestyle or to simply comply with pharmacological treatment ignores the specific conditions in which the individual lives. Furthermore, there are major disparities in access to both healthy living conditions as well as access to medical care.There is sufficient evidence to support advocating for policies that support healthy living, particularly healthy food choices. Progress is being made to improve the food environment with enactment of front of package nutritional labels. However, policies were enacted only after intense regional research and advocacy supporting their implementation.Government officials must rise above the pressures of commercial interests and support health-promoting policies or be exposed as self-interest groups themselves. Strong advocacy is required to persuade officials that all policies should take health into consideration both to improve lives and economies.
This study investigates the impact of Korean high school teachers' perception of the benefits of participating in professional learning communities (PLCs) on teacher leadership using administrative survey data collected by the Gyeonggi Institute of Education. The findings indicate that positive experiences with PLCs can promote teacher leadership both within and beyond the classroom, highlighting the importance of providing professional development opportunities, collaboration and activities through PLCs. Furthermore, the study emphasises the crucial role of school culture, particularly positive school culture and supportive principal leadership in fostering teacher leadership both within and beyond the classroom. However, it also reveals that power dynamics and hierarchies in schools may negatively impact teacher leadership, particularly among female and non-tenured teachers in their beyond-classroom teacher leadership. Finally, the study shows that the innovative school status schools in Gyeonggi Province in South Korea has limited influence on the level of teacher leadership, or in some cases, may even have indicated lower levels of leadership compared to regular schools.
India, a predominantly rural country, is going through a slow but constant and broad transition towards urbanization. The amount of cities and mega cities has increased from 5,161 to 7,935 in 2011. The united Nations predict that, by 2031, 15% of the urban population of the world, about 600 million people, will be living in Indian cities. This increase in urban population will cause repercussions in terms of environment, ecology and sustainability, which will manifest themselves in demands on urban services and governance of the urban ecosystem. In addition, urbanization generates significant tension in terms of land cover, native habitats, biodiversity, protected areas and services to the ecosystem that are basic for human wellbeing. In this paper we analyze some challenges and opportunities for urban development in India that include the participation of governments, private agencies, NGOs, and citizens from different social and economic strata.
