For this reason, various alternatives are required to improve the population’s diet. Among the many alternatives is the use of 3D printing technology to reproduce food that can reach the most vulnerable population. This remarkable study shows future generations the importance of seeking innovative food that guarantees a nutritious and accessible diet. The study focuses on the Panamanian population to determine which variables influence the decision to consume innovative foods. The innovative product to be tested is based on insects, arachnids, and arthropods, which may be difficult for the population to consume, but thanks to 3D printing technologies, it is possible to generate foods based on these raw materials that look like traditional foods. Likewise, processing these foods generates less water consumption, giving them an ecological attribute. The present study seeks to know the variables that determine the purchase intention of consumers in Panama regarding the food supply based on insects, arachnids, and arthropods that are transformed into traditional food formats using 3D printers. This information can help companies prepare food offers to consumers in Panama.

Herrera, Luis Carlos; Montenegro de Herrera, Markelda; Torres-Lista, Virginia; Venado Venado, Toribia; Pitti, Saima Los hombres y mujeres han sido socializados en una estructura social patriarcal, con prácticas y estereotipos sexistas, presentes en la forma de relacionarse entre ambos sexos, siendo determinantes tanto en la condición como en la posición de la mujer en la sociedad, donde la subordinación como la desvalorización que sufre en el imaginario social, son parte de lo considerado aceptado y como algo normal. Por otra parte, la educación, la música, los mensajes, la práctica cotidiana entre lo femenino y masculino, lo público y lo doméstico, son construcciones las cuales generan una concepción de mujer-objeto, una pro-piedad que pertenece a los hombres, además, masculinidad mal entendida, lo cual produce conductas violentas y de misoginia, factores analiza-dos para comprender el femicidio. El problema social al cual están expuestas las mujeres, en donde pueden perder la vida por el simple hecho de ser mujer, genera a nivel teórico un debate en las ciencias sociales, sobre cuál es la categoría más adecuada para identificar este problema social, donde intervienen aspectos jurídico-político, dejando al descubierto la violencia extrema hacia las mujeres, en sociedades patriarcales y machistas. Esta investigación, “Factores Intervinientes en los Femicidios de mujeres Indígenas Ngäbe Bugle y Afrodescendientes”, constituye un aporte para la comprensión del problema, el diseño e implementación de las políticas públicas para prevenir esta grave violación de derechos humanos y de salud pública. La misma fue realizada por la Universidad Católica Santa María la Antigua (USMA), a cargo del Dr. Luis Carlos Herrera y un equipo de distinguidas investigadoras.

It constitute-s a violation of their rights, enshrined in the Convention on the Rights of the Child ratified by Panama in 1990. Through this investigative book, it helps to understand the current situation of child abuse in Panama. In this book, you will find the analysis of Panamanian regulations related to child abuse, statistical results of public data on said topic, and the systematization of secondary information published in the media. That made it possible to evaluate the actions of the institutions binding on the issue of the prevention and protection of minors and propose a roadmap to implement public policies, together with social actors, institutions, and civil society organizations that have been carrying out a work on prevention and protection of children's rights, whose analysis is linked to compliance with SDG16. Because child sexual abuse constitutes an extreme dimension of abuse of children and adolescents, it has an impact on peace and justice, where it is necessary to have solid institutions for this vulnerable group, with which sustainable human development is strengthened.
