The Marismeña or Mostrenca cattle breed is oficially recognized as autochthonous Spanish breed of special protection in the Spanish catalogue of livestock breeds. Presently, farmers, technicians and scientifics have coordinated actions for the characterization, conservation and promotion of the breed and its products. All these objectives are enclosed in lines of investigation and development participated by the University of Córdoba, the Biological Station of Doñana (CSIC), the Breeders Association and the Provincial Government of Cordoba. Presently the genetic characterization of the breed is under development by mean of a batery of molecular markers, at the same time a germplasm bank have been initiated. The sires to be enclosed definitively in the bank are under evaluation. Also the morphological characterization has started over the animals maintained in liberty. In the near future the productive characterization will start in testing station and in land, all that with a view to obtain a quality mark for its products. ; La raza de bovinos Marismeña o Mostrenca, está reconocida oficialmente como raza autóctona española de protección especial en el catálogo de razas de ganado español. En la actualidad ganaderos, técnicos y científicos han coordinado actuaciones para la caracterización, conservación y promoción de la raza y sus productos. Todos estos objetivos se incluyen en líneas de investigación y desarrollo en las que intervienen la Universidad de Córdoba, Estación biológica de Donaña, Asociación de criadores y la Diputación de Córdoba. En la actualidad se está realizando la caracterización genética de la población basada en la utilización de una batería de marcadores moleculares, conjuntamente se ha puesto en marcha la creación del banco de germoplasma, donde se evalúan aquellos sementales que formarán el banco definitivo, por otra parte se ha iniciado la caracterización externa de los animales en campo. En breve se comenzará la caracterización productiva tanto en estación experimental como en régimen de ...

Young workers are an essential part of the workforce who contribute substantially to local economies. But in cities like Los Angeles, the soaring cost of living means that making ends meet can be especially difficult for young workers. They earn less than previous generations, face higher education costs, and are concentrated in service sector jobs. Many employers rely on youth to supply cheap and temporary labor, while adults often perceive these early jobs merely as rites of passage in a way that justifies their precarious conditions. Framing these jobs as transitional or solely for young people undermines these forms of labor as real work. This study aims to highlight the experience of young people who work and to challenge clichés about young workers. We frame young people as workers in order to connect the experiences of all workers and to affirm youth work as real work. Our research focuses on workers between the ages of 18 and 29 in retail and food service, the two largest employers of young people in Los Angeles County and an integral part of the region's labor landscape. Our findings are based on multiple methods, including 559 surveys, 30 interviews, government data sources and an extensive literature review. This project utilizes a research justice lens that aims to center the experience, and position, of young workers and student researchers as experts.
