Objective: To identify the use of traditional food, quantify the main foods consumed in the region, and propose a dish of good eating for the Totonac region.
Methodology: A semi-structured survey was carried out in 328 households of the municipality of Filomeno Mata, Veracruz, Mexico. The Household Dietary Diversity Score (HDDS) and a section were used to obtain information about the regional foods that the local population consumes on a daily basis.
Results: The families recognized a total of 35 regionally-produced vegetal and animal products. Each household that participated in the survey mentioned an average of 7 foods out of the whole list.
Limitations: To improve and implement a good food dish, several elements must be taken into account: age, gender, height, physical activity, or physiological condition, among others.
Conclusions: The registered foods are linked to the local culture and open a door to the generation of various resource-leveraging strategies, such as the dish of good eating for the Totonac region.
Software process evaluation is an essential activity for improving software development in an organisation. Actually there is a need for a formalised method of evaluation that encompasses all the factors that affect software production. If a software process evaluation is to faithfully reflect the current status of an organisation, it must also consider the assessment of other factors. In this paper, a formalised method of evaluation is presented that jointly assesses the three essential factors in software production: processes, technology and human resources. The aim behind this is to provide a solution to the main shortcomings of current software process evaluation methods: partiality of the evaluated factors and nonformalisation of the evaluation processes. Experimentation in various organisations has proven the adequacy of the proposed method for obtaining results that accurately portray the current status of the organisation's software process.
En México existe un problema de inseguridad alimentaria que se acentúa con mayor frecuencia en comunidades rurales. El objetivo principal de este artículo fue definir un plan estratégico de desarrollo local a través de estrategias de reproducción propuestas por los hogares de una comunidad indígena totonaca para satisfacer sus necesidades nutricionales en relación con el uso de los recursos naturales que poseen. Se aplicó un cuestionario a 328 viviendas en el municipio Filomeno Mata, Veracruz, México. Se formularon las estrategias de reproducción campesina orientadas a la autosuficiencia alimentaria y se utilizó un análisis de conglomerados para determinar los factores asociados. Los resultados mostraron un plan estratégico de desarrollo local con once estrategias que buscan incidir en la implementación de alimentos nativos en la comunidad. A partir del análisis de las variables socioeconómicas de los hogares, se definieron cuatro grupos y se determinó la estrategia con mayor potencial de éxito en cada uno. Las estrategias presentadas están vinculadas a procesos donde las prácticas sociales, económicas y culturales están estrechamente relacionadas. Éstos conforman una propuesta para la satisfacción de las necesidades alimentarias de los hogares como apoyo a la volatilidad de los precios de los alimentos.
