Uno de los métodos utilizados para identificar los patrones en el consumo de información que siguen los investigadores de un área determinada es el análisis de citas. El objetivo del presente documento es determinar mediante dicho método los hábitos informativos que siguen los autores que han publicado en la revista Estudios Demográficos y Urbanos, grupo integrado principalmente por especialistas en demografía, estudios urbanos y ambientales. Con ello se busca incidir en el desarrollo de las colecciones de la Biblioteca Daniel Cosío Villegas de El Colegio de México en dichas temáticas.Se analizaron 6 559 citas bibliográficas de 162 artículos publicados en la revista durante el periodo 1998-2007. La información se registró en una base de datos preparada en Microsoft Access y posteriormente se exportó a una hoja de cálculo en Microsoft Excel, con la finalidad de analizar cuantitativamente los datos con base en indicadores que fueron previamente definidos.Entre los resultados a destacar se encuentran los siguientes: los libros cubren el mayor porcentaje de las obras citadas (34.7%); México es el país en el que se edita la mayoría de los documentos citados (38.92%); Estudios Demográficos y Urbanos es la revista más citada por los investigadores que publicaron durante ese periodo; el español (51.55%) y el inglés (43.33%) son los idiomas más consultados por los autores. Sólo 26.73% del total de las referencias citadas fueron publicadas en los cinco años previos a la fecha en que fueron consultadas, lo que puede deberse a la escasa literatura sobre temas nuevos, enfoques innovadores y materias muy especializadas; a la dificultad para obtener información actualizada y confiable tanto de México como de Latinoamérica y, en ciertos casos, a la poca actualidad del material que los autores consultan, entre otros factores.El análisis de los resultados obtenidos nos permite realizar algunas sugerencias respecto a las políticas de desarrollo de las colecciones, las cuales están relacionadas con el idioma y la actualidad de los documentos. Asimismo nos muestra la necesidad de reforzar la adquisición de colecciones como las del INEGI y el Conapo.AbstractOne of the methods used to identify patterns in the use of information consulted by researchers in a set area is the analysis of quotes. The aim of this article is to use this method to determine the information habits of authors that have published in the Estudios Demográficos y Urbanos journal, a group mainly comprising specialists in demography, urban and environmental studies. The aim is to influence the development of the collections in the Daniel Cosío Villegas Library at El Colegio de México on these topics.A total of 6,559 bibliographical quotes from 162 articles published in the journal during the period from 1998/2007 were analyzed. The information was registered in a data-base prepared by Microsoft Access and subsequently exported to a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet, in order to quantitatively analyze the data on the basis of previously defined indicators.The most outstanding results are given below: Books account for the highest percentage of works cited (34.7%); Mexico is the country where the majority of the documents cited are edited (38.92%); Estudios Demográficos y Urbanos is the journal most widely cited by the researchers that published during that period; Spanish (51.55%) and English (43.33%) are the languages most frequently consulted by the authors. Only 26.73% of the total references cited were published in the five years prior to the date in which they were consulted, which may be due to the lack of literature on new topics, innovative approaches and highly specialized subjects, the difficulty of obtaining reliable, up-to-date information on either Mexico or Latin America and in some cases, to the out-of-date material consulted by the authors, among other factors.An analysis of the results obtained enabled the author to make suggestions about the policies for developing the collections, related to the language they are published in and the topicality of the documents. It also shows the need to increase the acquisition of collections such as those in INEGI and Conapo.

Latin America is puzzling: Politicians often celebrate Latin America as a peaceful region. However, their slogans conflict with the reality of everyday life there. The region is characterised by a high level of violence and for years has consistently recorded one of the highest incidences of violence globally. Nevertheless, Latin America is also a place where innovative conflict resolution mechanisms take place. This book aims to contribute to analysis of the concurrence of widespread violence and innovative approaches to conflict resolution. It adopts an interdisciplinary perspective and highlights current dynamics based on single-case and comparative studies as well as conceptual discussions.

Case Based

Using the Importance of Features, we present an implementation of the knowledge system that realized the diagnosis of medical diseases using case-based reasoning. The methodology of this system uses the importance of features. In our method, the feature is a symptom. The symptom represents the different important degree vis-a-vis each type of disease. In one disease, different symptoms have different important degrees. The system consists of cases as Knowledge for Diagnosis of Lung pathologies according to Vietnamese Traditional Medicine. We developed this system in Visual C++, using Microsoft Access data-base engine and it runs under Windows 9X.
