El reciclaje de aluminio ha aumentado en los últimos años en un 5% anual. El objetivo de este estudio es analizar la aportación en términos de energía potencial de acuerdo con el aluminio enviado a reciclaje, el cual es generado en las actividades diarias de la Facultad de Ciencias de la Ingeniería y Tecnología de la Universidad Autónoma de Baja California (FCITEC-UABC). La metodología empleada consistió en realizar una investigación documental de los registros de latas de aluminio enviadas a reciclaje durante 2018 y 2019 y con base en el Modelo Individual de Residuos de la Environmental Agency Protection (iWARM-EPA) determinar su equivalente en unidades de energía. De acuerdo con los registros de FCITEC-UABC durante el periodo de análisis, se enviaron a reciclaje 177.7 kilogramos de latas de aluminio, equivalente a 13, 600 unidades, con base en estos datos y el modelo utilizado, la facultad aporta con este material enviado a reciclaje, un potencial de ahorro de energía neta equivalente a 3960.3 kWh[1]. Éstos, por ejemplo, equivalen a 300,000 horas disponibles, para su uso en focos ahorradores de 60W o 79,000 en computadoras portátiles.[1] Kilovatio-hora

Care Problems

The rural Kumiai community of San Antonio Necua is one of the few remaining indigenous communities in Baja California, Mexico. Necuan health and health care problems are best understood through a consideration of the effects of colonialism and marginalization on indigenous groups in northern Baja California as well as a tradition of medical pluralism in Mexico. The lack of traditional healers and biomedical providers in the community, high rates of preventable or manageable illnesses, and a blend of biomedical, folk mestizo, and traditional indigenous beliefs about health and illness reflect current conditions of rural poverty and economic isolation. Descriptions of health and health care problems are based on ethnographic fieldwork among the Kumiai, their Paipai relatives, and their primary nongovernmental aid organization.

The challenges of including factual information in public policy and political discussions are many. The difficulties of including scientific facts in these debates can often be frustrating for scientists, politicians and policymakers alike. At times it seems that discussions involve different languages or dialects such that it becomes a challenge to even understand one another’s position. Oftentimes difference of opinion leads to laws and regulations that are tilted to the left or the right. The collaborative balancing to insure public and natural resource interests are protected ends up being accomplished through extensive litigation in the courts. In this article, the author discusses the history of environmental balancing during the past three decades from the perspective of a field biologist who has used the strength of our policies, laws and regulations to fight for the protection of our Commonwealth’s aquatic resources. For the past 7 years, the author has taken over the reins of “the most powerful environmental agency in Pennsylvania” and charted a course using science to properly represent natural resource interests in public policy and political deliberations.
