The migration of substances from packaging to food is a matter of concern for the food safety authorities, and packaging materials constitute a potential source of contaminants to which the consumer will be exposed to through their diet. A huge variety of substances can be present in packaging materials, which could consequently migrate into food and represent a risk to consumer health. Food Contamination by Packaging provides an overview of the main packaging contaminants including Bisphenol A, melamine, phthalates, alternative plasticisers, photoinitiators, perfluorochemicals, saturated and aromatic hydrocarbons (mineral oil saturated hydrocarbons and mineral oil aromatic hydrocarbons) from mineral oils, other bisphenol-related compounds, nanoparticles, primary aromatic amines and nonintentionally added substances. The analytical techniques used for their determination are reviewed. This book will be of interest to students and researchers in universities and research institutions associated with food packaging and, in general, to the food safety sector.

Esta novela fue galardonada como accesit en el I certamen literario Nemira e incluye prologo del escritor Pablo Zapata Lerga. Miren Azpeleta, una adolescente de 16 anos, aparece colgada, acuchillada y con los parpados pegados en el campus de Lejona, en la Universidad del Pais Vasco. Asesinato pasional? Ajuste de cuentas? Un caso aislado? Una muerte sin explicacion aparente que lleva a la policia y a la periodista Lucia Ferrer, encargada de cubrir el suceso, a trabajar a contrarreloj, pues el juego de un aciago asesino que firma con dos iniciales, W.C., y distintas fechas, ha comenzado. Un juego movido por una bendita palabra que sera largo y duro. Una novela ambientada en el Gran Bilbao donde un homicida sin escrupulos causa el caos poniendo en jaque a la policia autonoma vasca, a la prensa y a la poblacion. Una historia en la que nada es lo que parece y donde unos y otros ocultan secretos, mentiras y fantasmas del pasado que seran clave en la resolucion del caso. Una obra en la que todo aquel al que le guste adivinar quien es el asesino, jugando al descarte y el despiste, se lo pasara en grande. No obstante no resolvera el puzle facilmente.

La presente obra analiza el fenomeno del turismo en el Estado de Tabasco desde una perspectiva economica. Pero la percepcion del turista hacia los servicios turisticos ofertados por los establecimientos hoteleros, restauranteros y el transporte turistico es parte esencial en este analisis. Algunas variables tales como: productos, precio, promocion, informacion turistica, atencion, trato, etc., fueron objeto de evaluacion por parte del turista, que cada ano prepara sus vacaciones en funcion de la oferta turistica disponible en cada destino. Los destinos por lo general desean tener mayor afluencia de turistas, concepto usado en economia turistica como frecuentacion turistica, asi, los responsables de desarrollar el destino, trabajan en busca de una mejor oferta turistica. En ese sentido, la ausencia o escasa visita del destino, esta estrechamente relacionada con la falta de productos que satisfagan las expectativas de los consumidores-turista."

This practical book examines how teaching media in high school English and social studies classrooms can address major challenges in our educational system. The authors argue that, in addition to providing underserved youth with access to 21st-century learning technologies, critical media education will help improve academic literacy achievement in city schools. Critical Media Pedagogy presents first-hand accounts of teachers who are successfully incorporating critical media education into standards-based lessons and units. The book begins with an analysis of how media have been conceptualised and studied; it identifies the various ways that youth are practicing media, as well as how these practices are constantly increasing in sophistication. Finally, it offers concrete examples of how to develop a rigorous, standards-based content area curriculum that embraces new media practices and features media production.
