Bolivian indigenous accept dialogue with five Ministers of Morales

|

La Paz, 2 sep (EFE).-Bolivian indigenous leaders began today to talk with five Ministers that President Evo Morales appointed to try to halt the March carrying ethnic groups between the Amazon and La Paz in opposition to the construction of a route that will pass through a park natural.

The meeting takes place at the headquarters of a public University in the Amazonian town of San Borja, where he arrived yesterday the March after touring in little more than two weeks about 230 kilometres from the city of Trinidad (northeast).

Before the meeting, the leader of the Confederation of peoples indigenous peoples of the East (Cidob), Ernesto Sánchez, explained in telephone contact with Efe that “going to engage in dialogue in the framework of the rule” and hoping that met the 16 demands raised by the ethnic groups, especially with regard to the road project.

Indigenous peoples demand the Government that the route does not pass through the territory Indígena Parque Nacional Isiboro Sécure (Tipnis) because they fear that the project lead to environmental damage and promote the invasion of colonists and producers of coca leaf

“The proposal is that first come five Ministers (…)” Tomorrow come five others and all agreements will be signed with President Morales, if it is to have the willingness to accept the 16 points that we have on the shelf. “If there is no will, the March will continue,” warned Sánchez.

The Ministers sent by Morales are those of the Presidency, Carlos Romero; public works, Wálter Delgadillo; of productive development, Teresa Morales; justice, Nilda Cup, and environment, Mabel monk.

Indians took advantage of the meeting to criticize Ministers for his constant attacks on the mobilization and demanded them are they sorry, above all by the instruction of Morales to their bases of peasants fall in that love to the indigenous people of the Amazon to convince them that already not it oppose the project.

“We are not any object or are they circumventing.” “We never thought that an indigenous President sneer so of us,” deplored a leader, not identified by the media, during the beginning of the debate.

One of the leaders reproached Morales to say that the indigenous peoples of lowland are minority, to assert that these “minorities gave the name of plurinational State to Bolivia”.

The Bolivian, Vice President Álvaro García Linera, ratified today at a press conference that route must go through the Park because technically there is no alternative, as he emphasized moral in Eve.

The United Nations system in Bolivia called authorities and indigenous peoples “to make the greatest efforts and contribute his willingness” to engage in dialogue and find solutions.

UN also urged the Government to “move towards concerted solutions with the indigenous peoples affected” by the road project, “in the framework of the guarantee of the right to prior consultation” recognized by the Bolivian and international legislation. EFE

They are the cause of extreme obesity and thinness

|

A recent study conducted in Europe would lay land myths and legends on all kinds of miraculous diets. Scientists discovered quela duplication of a chromosome is related to be thin, while their lack of backup causes obesity.

People with a greater amount of certain genes are more likely to be very thin, said scientists in the first discovery of a genetic cause for extreme thinness. In a study published in the journal Nature, researchers at Imperial College London in Britain and the University of Lausanne, in Switzerland, found that a duplication of a portion of chromosome 16 is associated with being too thin.

Previous research had found that people with a lack of copies of these genes are 43 times more likely to suffer from morbid obesity. “This is the first genetic cause of extreme thinness that we have identified,” said Wednesday Philippe Froguel, the school of public health at Imperial College, who led the study.

“Is also the first example of a deletion and duplication of a portion of the genome has opposite effects,” he added. He said that one reason why this last discovery was important is showing that a deficit of childhood growth can be boosted genetically.

“If a child does not eat, is not necessarily an error of the fathers”, said. Normally, each person has a copy of each chromosome from each parent, which gives them two copies of each gene

But sometimes the sections of a chromosome may be duplicated or deleted, giving rise to an abnormal “dose” of genes, explained researchers in their study. But in about one in every 2,000 people, part of chromosome 16 is doubled, making men 23 times more likely to underweight women and 5 times more likely.

Is considered a weight low to have a body mass index (BMI), which associates the weight and the height below the 18.5. Froguel team examined for the study the DNA of more than 95,000 people. It was discovered that half of the children with the duplicated gene had been diagnosed with a “developmental delay”, which means that their rate of weight gain is significantly below the normal.

A quarter of people with duplication had microcephaly, a condition in which the head and brain are smaller than normal and which is related to neurological defects and short life expectancy

Froguel said that scientists still have much work to do to find out more about the genes in this area, but its discovery could lead to new potential treatments for obesity and appetite disorders. “Now plan to sort these genes and discover what they do, so we can get an idea of which are involved in the regulation of appetite”, stated.

In Spain you want to delete profiles “pro anorexia” of social networks

|

“Have acted in two senses: calling officially on Twitter that use all the mechanisms that are in your hand so that respecting freedom of expression, clearly isolate these profiles for the anorexiay also have gone to electronic crimes of the Civil Guard unit”, declared Leire Pajin journalists.

According to the owner of Spanish health, this initiative responds to the request of a large number of citizens who, throughout the summer, they called on the Ministry, also via Twitter, to act against these profiles.

Pajín

showed their confidence in that Twitter is “a self-regulatory mechanism” to make possible “that balance between freedom of expression and the isolation of this type of profiles”. The Minister also deposited their confidence in “the strength of the network” and its users to participate in the fight against this scourge.

“I have always believed that the new technologies and social networks are a fabulous tool for communication and information but they can also be used for purposes harmful to society and to the health of citizens and in this case I think that all we have to act,” concluded.

Pajín

made his statements during the Congress of deputies in Madrid. Meanwhile, it was not possible to contact Twitter to comment on the information.

El Distrito Nacional and Santo Domingo province, which concentrates the majority of the population, remain as the districts with the highest incidence of the evil.

Stressed that all public assistance centers are stocked with supplies and personnel to adequately meet people with symptoms of cholera or any other disease. EFE

Detect a new strain of influenza A in two American children

|

Washington, 2 sep (EFE).-A new strain of influenza, which includes a gene causing the pandemic in 2009, has been detected in two American children not interlinked who had contact with pigs, reported today the Center for Disease Control and prevention (CDC).

The new strain is a hybrid of several viruses that have infected pigs over the past decade and a gene from the H1N1, causing the flu pandemic in 2009, according to a study released today by the CDC.

So far there is no evidence that the virus has spread beyond the two children affected.

The first case of the new strain was detected in the State of Indiana, one child under 5 years fell ill in late July after having been with another person Yes he had direct contact with pigs.

The child was hospitalized and has recovered, while any member of your family has become ill.

The other case is that of a girl of the State of Pennsylvania, also less than 5 years, he had contact with pigs at an agricultural fair month past.

The girl also recovered and is investigating whether among those who attended the fair, there are some sick.

The fact that this new strain has a gene which caused the pandemic in 2009 is what most worries, because “there is some evidence that it is particularly important for the transmission of person to person,” according to Dr. John Treanor, the school of Medicine of the University of Rochester flu specialist.
