    (Oikos Polis, 2021) Cabello, Alejandra; Ortiz, Edgar; Sosa, Miriam
    Resumen: Se analiza el creciente papel de los de Brasil, Rusia, India, China, y Sudáfrica (BRICS) en términos de su participación en la gobernanza y economía globales. Se revisa los dilemas y problemas relacionados con la gobernanza, resaltando importantes cambios en su arquitectura y el surgimiento de nuevos patrones de gobernanza financiera mundial a partir del progresivo papel de los BRICS. Se examina su creciente importancia económica en el contexto de los nuevos patrones de desarrollo económico y financiero que retan la tradicional hegemonía de las economías industrializadas de occidente, el esquema de Cooperación Sur-Sur; la naciente arquitectura financiera en cuanto a sus instituciones bancarias y bursátiles; las iniciativas de los BRICS para fomentar su desarrollo y alentar el desarrollo de las economías emergentes, manifiestas en sus Cumbres y creación de nuevas instituciones y convenios de desarrollo; y, finalmente, los retos y cambios hacia una multipolaridad en la gobernanza financiera global.

    Is it possible to obtain food consumption information through children's drawings? Comparison with the Free Listing.
    (2021) Goldner, María Cristina; Sosa, Miriam; Garitta, Lorena
    The aims of this research were 1) to study the children's drawings to obtain scientific information about food consumption; 2) to compare this method with an existing one (Free Listing); and 3) to compare fruits- and vegetables-consumed by children of different cultural groups within a same country. Children (n = 105) from two Argentinian cities (Salta in the northwest and 9 de Julio in the Pampean region), reported the fruits and vegetables they consumed, with the Free Listing and the new Free Drawing methods. Contingency tables were built and cognitive saliency indexes (CSI) were calculated. Children evoked 57 fruits and 54 vegetables by both methods, which were then grouped into 31 fruit and 27 vegetable categories. The advantages and limitations of the methods are discussed. Throughout Free Drawing, each food was defined by its name, shape and colour, which allowed better discrimination between varieties. Children from Salta reported consuming more fruits (63.7%) and vegetables (68.6%) than those from 9 de Julio (p < 0.05). Differences between cultural groups were found in 10 fruits and 7 vegetables, mentioned more frequently in Salta, where regional crops arose principally by Free Listing. The CSI did not depend on the method used but, for vegetables, they were affected by the cultural group. The fruits with the greatest CSI were banana and apples followed by orange (CSI≥0.19). Tomatoes, carrot and pumpkins showed the highest CSI in 9 de Julio; while carrot, tomatoes, varieties of lettuce and potatoes had the highest CSI in Salta (0.17 ≤ CSI≤0.33). Free Drawing is a qualitative alternative to study food consumption in children populations through a fun activity without the need for assistants.
