Social work as a scientific discipline is concerned with identifying and understanding those social and cultural determinants with respect to health-food, which are part of the identity of immigrant groups in the horticultural region of Culiacán, in order to analyze those social aspects and cultural ones that must be influenced to improve the health of immigrant families who come in search of health-nutritional promotion and education services. Therefore, this article presents the results regarding food beliefs and knowledge in immigrant women mothers, this being part of a broader study on the food culture of women-mothers of families from marginal spaces in Culiacan, Sinaloa, in where food identity is rescued as an essential part of these peoples and considered as cultural elements that must be taken into account in food and nutrition education programs. A study was carried out with a qualitative approach, with the use of microethnography and phenomenology for data collection, with the use of direct participant observation, open, semi-structured interviews and a sociodemographic identity card survey, for characterization of the participating sample. The most relevant findings of this research are mainly; the existence of beliefs, knowledge possessed by women mothers of immigrant families that they put into practice in their daily life for the health care of themselves and their children. As well as the existence of methodologies for the preparation and preservation of food as effective technologies to maintain food for long periods of time, and finally the use of traditional foods as part of the identity of their places of origin and as part of the resistance to change culture.

Objetive; determine the problem-solving association for self-care of Type 2 diabetes (food, exercise and medications), self-care of DT2, perceived social support, years of diagnosis and schooling. Descriptive correlational study in 238 adults with diabetes. The patients were randomly selected. To measure the variables of interest, select the scale of problem solving in diabetes self-care, social support in patients with diabetes, diabetes self-care activities. Anthropometric measurements (weight, height, waist circumference) were measured to measure the participant's body composition and biochemistry (A1C). The resolution of problems in self-care is conditioned by age and social support, but not by schooling or years of diagnosis. A mayor score on the subscale resolves effective problems in self-care of DT2 greater self-care in food. However, it was the subscale of self-care in medicines that obtained the highest score. It is important that nursing involves the family in supporting patient care. It seems that patients believe that the medication should control the disease. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Breastfeeding is a bio-cultural practice, considered a public health issue. It is also a socially learned practice linked to the exercise of maternal activities. All societies have a social representation of motherhood that guides their policies and governs their actions. However, the conception of each group of women that conforms it, changes in relation to their living conditions, in this sense, the incorporation of women into paid work presents transformations in the ways of conceiving and exercising practices such as breastfeeding, influencing the construction of their social representations. This article aims to analyze the social representations of breastfeeding and its relationship with gender constructions, of a group of mothers with paid work who use childcare centers at IMSS in Culiacán, Sinaloa. The research approach is qualitative and the method of social representations was used. Six semistructured interviews were applied to mothers who used their nursing labor rights and a content analysis was performed. The most important findings show the social representation of breastfeeding as: symbol of health-well-being, articulating axis of the family relationship and transgressivedissident practice. It was evident that gender constructions directly affect the symbolic configuration of the social representations of breastfeeding. It is concluded that the living conditions of these women, their conception in the duty of being a woman-mother, the significance of their body and space, generate ambivalent and dynamic social representations, from which they overcome the conflicts that are presented to them in your breastfeeding practices. This study provides knowledge that supports the need for social co-responsability policies for the promotion of breastfeeding. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introduction: despite the fact that childhood obesity is a serious health problem, little is known about its related factors in early childhood.Objective: to evaluate which maternal, cognitive and infant factors influence the infant's energy intake and if these influence their nutritional status before the year.Methods: descriptive study of correlation. Two hundred and sixty-seven dyads (mother/child) participated. The questionnaires consisted of four instruments for the cognitive variables of the mother (maternal self-efficacy, attitude in the diet, perception of signs of hunger, satiety and weight of the child), energy intake through a 24-hour reminder and sociodemographic and anthropometric data of the mother and child, through which maternal body mass index (BMI) and Z-score of infant weight/height have been calculated.Results: the model was significant for the intake of kcal/kg weight (F = 8.624, p < 0.001, R2 = 0.104), negatively correlating with the maternal perception of the weight of the child (B = -9.73, p = 0.002), hours of sleep (B = -2.19, p = 0.044) and age of the child (B = -2.26, p = 0.001). Also for the Z-score (weight/length) (F = 68.979, p < 0.001, R2 = 0.564) and explained positively with perception of the weight of the child (B = 1.133, p < 0.001) and age of the child (B = 0.054, p = 0.006) and negatively with hours of sleep of the mother (B = -0.07, p = 0.040) and caloric intake (B = -0.004, p = 0.027).Conclusion: mothers of nursing infants who underestimate their child's weight and sleep fewer hours provide more caloric intake and their children have a higher Z-score weight/length.

This paper develops the analysis of a set of didactic sequences carried out by teachers and future science teachers in instances of initial and continuing training. The development of didactic sequences offers a formative stage in which the design and the didactic planning provide feedback to the conceptual construction during a spiral process of reasoning, revision and rewriting. The aim of this analysis is to highlight some ways of thinking the teaching science contents and, from its characterization, to test levels of development of professional knowledge about teaching. Thus, the analysis has helped define a continuum that moves toward more complex and powerful ways: a new constructive role for teachers and students, the definition of an argumentative spiral out from a comprehensive approach of school knowledge, the construction of conceptual levels of complexity and increasing integration, and the creation of strategic designs of didactic sequencing. It is expected, thus, to provide references for the design of new teaching strategies, offering hypotheses about possible obstacles and paths of evolution of thought and teacher action.
