Genre: History

The multiple pasts and futures of the Mexican nation can be seen in the faces of the tens of thousands of indigenous people who each year set out on their voyages to the north, as well as the many others who decide to settle in countless communities within the United States. To study indigenous Mexican migrants in the United States today requires a binational lens, taking into account basic changes in the way Mexican society is understood as the twenty-first century begins. This collection explores these migration processes and their social, cultural, and civic impacts in the United States and in Mexico. The studies come from diverse perspectives, but they share a concern with how sustained migration and the emergence of organizations of indigenous migrants influence social and community identity, both in the United States and in Mexico. These studies also focus on how the creation and re-creation of collective ethnic identities among indigenous migrants influences their economic, social, and political relationships in the United States. of California, Santa Cruz

Worldwide, soybean seed proteins represent a major source of amino acids for human and animal nutrition. Soybean seeds are an important and economical source of protein in the diet of many developed and developing countries. Soy is a complete protein, and soy-foods are rich in vitamins and minerals. Soybean protein provides all the essential amino acids in the amounts needed for human health. Recent research suggests that soy may also lower risk of prostate, colon and breast cancers as well as osteoporosis and other bone health problems, and alleviate hot flashes associated with menopause. This volume is expected to be useful for student, researchers and public who are interested in soybean.

El libro presenta los desarrollos de varios casos reales entre 1999 y 2016, e incluye algunos resultados del proyecto de investigación titulado "Modelos matemáticos V métodos de solución para la optimización de cadenas de abastecimiento internacionales con precios de transferencia", relacionado con uno de los casos industriales que se presentan. Este proyecto fue desarrollado dentro del grupo de investigación en Logística y Producción de la Universidad del Valle, con financiación de la Convocatoria Interna 2010, entre septiembre de 2010 y enero de 2013. Ha sido fundamental la transferencia de estas experiencias de extensión e investigación para enriquecer el proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje y las estrategias de investigación tanto en los programas de pregrado como de posgrado. Se incluye una breve revisión de literatura sobre las cadenas de abastecimiento y los elementos básicos para su planeación y optimización. Relaciona además los problemas de localización de instalaciones con los problemas de optimización de cadenas de abastecimiento y describe los principales requerimientos de información para poder aplicar modelos de optimización en el área. Los resultados de corto, mediano y largo plazo obtenidos en cada proyecto demuestran la gran utilidad de los modelos matemáticos aplicados para el mejoramiento del proceso de toma de decisiones, entre otras, para la optimización de cadenas de abastecimiento a todo nivel, lo que mejora la competitividad de las organizaciones, las cuales a su vez deberían transmitir dichos resultados a la sociedad.
