In a discussion of wages and labor in the Wealth of Nations (WN), Adam Smith concludes: "No society can be flourishing and happy, of which the far greater part of the members are poor and miserable. It is but equity, besides, that they who feed, clothe, and lodge the whole body of the people, should have such a share of the produce of their own labour as to be themselves tolerably well fed, clothed, and lodged" (Smith [1776] 1994, WN I.viii:90).

This article explores and documents the incidence of the use of Twitter in the call for citizen participation by the main institutions and governmental figures of Cuba and Spain, in a period covering the daily life before the COVID-19 pandemic and the first months in which the disease hit the life of both countries. A quantitative methodology is used for the analysis, which will allow to compare the behavior of both governments, in terms of modernization of public authorities and the incentive for the population to get involved in the communication strategies established in social networks. The results indicate that we are in the presence of two digital communicative alternatives that, although numerically they do not seem to be far apart, differ in terms of the purpose of the calls to action and in the way of linking the resources of the microblogging network to determine the reaction of the citizens to whom they summon. This research delves into case studies to provide a broader perspective on government behavior towards citizens in different political contexts. ; La Declaración Universal de Derechos Humanos reconoce la participación social como un derecho humano esencial de toda persona, y que una sociedad puede considerarse democrática cuando todos sus ciudadanos y ciudadanas participan. Este artículo explora y documenta el uso de Twitter en la llamada a la participación ciudadana por parte de las cuatro principales instituciones y figuras gubernamentales de Cuba y España, en un período que abarca la cotidianidad antes de la pandemia por COVID-19 y los primeros meses en que la enfermedad golpeó la vida de ambos países. La metodología consiste en un análisis de contenido mixto enmarcado en un estudio de caso que permitirá comparar cómo ha sido el comportamiento de las cuentas @sanchezcastejon, @desdelamoncloa, @DiazCanelB y @PresidenciaCuba en Twitter para llamar a la participación y a la responsabilidad social individual. Los resultados señalan que estamos en presencia de unos actores gubernamentales ...

The meat industry has become increasingly interested in developing products containing new ingredients oriented to consumers' health. Health benefits are gained from frequent consumption of pecan nut and roselle, which can therefore be used as ingredients in meat product formulations. However, incorporating novel ingredients or reducing the content of traditional ingredients might affect meat product quality, thus needs to be evaluated and optimised for the development of functional foods. The objective of the present work was to assess how pecan nut (0 to 10%), roselle (0 to 2%), and salt (0 to 2%) affect the physicochemical properties, antioxidant, and sensory characteristics of beef patties, and use response surface methodology to optimise the content of these ingredients in a meat product formulation. Regression models were developed to predict quality properties. All models were significant (p < 0.05) with an R2 > 0.85 and a nonsignificant lack of fit (p > 0.05), thus indicating that these models could adequately predict response variables. The optimised formulation was 7.97% pecan nut, 1.59% roselle, and 1.08% salt. The predicted physicochemical properties were L* = 42.88, a* = 12.29, b* = 8.51, pH = 5.10, and cooking loss = 24.66%; the antioxidant properties were DPPH = 0.53 mg TE/g fp, ABTS = 0.65 mg TE/g fp, and total phenolic content = 0.46 mg GA/g fp; and the sensory properties were flavour = 7.03, tenderness = 6.98, and juiciness = 7.01. Pecan nut and roselle are promising natural ingredients that can be used to prepare low-salt beef patties.
