Objetivos: este estudio analiza la incidencia de cáncer colorrectal en seis países americanos en las últimas décadas y su relación con cambios en los hábitos dietéticos. Métodos: las tasas de incidencia ajustadas, según sexos, se obtuvieron por país de Internacional Agency for Research on Cáncer, 1975-2002. Los consumos anuales per capita de distintas variables dietéticas se obtuvieron de Food and Agriculture Organization of United Nations, 1965-2007. Se calcularon los coeficientes de correlación de Pearson para las tasas de incidencia según sexo y las distintas variables de la dieta con retardo de diez años. Resultados: se observan dos situaciones distintas en relación al cáncer colorrectal. Por un lado, países con tasas de incidencia relativamente pequeñas pero con tendencias lineales de las mismas crecientes en ambos sexos: Brasil, Colombia, Costa Rica y Ecuador. Por otro lado, países con tasas de incidencia relativamente elevadas pero con tendencias lineales de las mismas decrecientes, en Canadá (sólo en mujeres) y, en ambos sexos, en USA. Conclusión: para que la situación de Canadá y USA no se repita en el resto de países, revirtiendo las tendencias de incidencia del cáncer colorrectal, en ambos sexos, sin esperar a alcanzar valores tan elevados, es necesaria la aplicación de medidas de Promoción de la Salud que promuevan hábitos dietéticos saludables en Brasil, Colombia, Costa Rica y Ecuador de forma urgente, considerando el desfase temporal necesario de diez-quince años para que los cambios en la exposición a factores de riesgo y protección modifiquen la incidencia del tumor.

Projeta-se uma expansão do consumo mundial de papel na próxima década, de 430 para 460 Mt anuais, parte significativa a ser produzida a partir de celulose de madeira. Nesse contexto, o Brasil recentemente se tornou o líder mundial na exportação de celulose. Este estudo analisa o mercado de celulose no Brasil e em 5 outros grandes países no mercado mundial de celulose (Canadá, China, Estados Unidos, Índia e Rússia). Avalia-se a hipótese da dependência do Brasil nas exportações em relação à China e as perspectivas de seu crescimento em função da tendência de aumento no consumo per capita em países emergentes muito populosos. Os dados analisados, para o período 1961 a 2017 foram obtidos do sistema FAOSTAT (Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations). No período analisado o Brasil se tornou o maior exportador mundial de celulose, com 13,348 Mt.ano-1 e o segundo maior produtor, com 19,527 Mt.ano-1, em 2017. A China é, de longe, o maior importador do produto, com 21,911 Mt.ano-1. Todos os outros países estudados são importadores em menor escala, embora alguns sejam grandes produtores, como os EUA (líder mundial) e o Canadá, sendo esses os principais concorrentes do Brasil entre os países examinados. Conclui-se que o Brasil ainda tem espaço para crescer no mercado de celulose, tendo em vista as perspectivas de aumento no consumo per capita em países emergentes, como a China e a Índia.

[THE MANUSCRIPT IS A DRAFT] According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO, 2020), food waste and losses comprises nearly 1.3 billion tonnes every year, which equates to around US$ 990 billion worldwide. Ironically, over 820 million people do not have enough food to eat (FAO, 2020). This gap production-consumption puts in evidence the need to reformulate certain practices such as the controversial monocropping (i.e., growing a single crop on the same land on a yearly basis), as well as to improve others such as revenue management through intelligent systems. In this first part of a series of articles, the focus is on the Peruvian anchoveta fish (Engraulis ringens).

Emergency Fund

IT APPEARS timely to call attention again to the work and objectives of the United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund. Particularly noteworthy is the trend to use this fund more and more in efforts to help other nations help themselves. Thus the mass attack on tuberculosis, yaws and malaria are, it is hoped, bringing those diseases into proportions where their continued control can be more effectively managed. Similarly, increasing attention is being given to the training of professional and technical personnel. The plans and long-range purpose of the UNICEF have recently been described by Maurice Pate, Executive Director of the fund: "Five years ago, in May 1947, the United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund received its first pledge of support, a contribution of $15,000,000 from the United States Government. A number of other pledges and contributions soon followed, and procurement of supplies was begun. By the middle of 1948, those supplies were reaching several million children. "Those early beginnings were in the minds of many of us at the recent meeting of the Fund's 26-nation Executive Board (April 22-24), for on that occasion UNICEF's aid was extended to the only remaining area of need in which it had not been operating— Africa, south of the Sahara. "In the Belgian Congo, French Equatorial Africa, Liberia, Togoland, the Cameroons and West Africa, UNICEF, side by side with the World Health Organization and the Food and Agriculture Organization, will soon be working with the governments and people on a number of child-health projects. The largest of these is to be an attack on kwashiokor, a dietary deficiency disease that affects thousands of young children in these regions.
