چکیده
Kitchens play a role in the daily life of the family. Kitchens in rural areas of developing countries have some specific characteristics in common; lack of comfort, difficult access to water, poor structures, lack of efficient ventilation, and a lot of smoke. The studies about kitchens have been analyzing diverse aspects, like the stove, the functions, and the climate. Little, if nothing was studied in relationship to the users. The objective of the present research is to make a study of kitchens in rural communities of Chimore Bolivia. The research assumes that the women spend more time in the kitchens, and in consequence are the most exposed group to the kitchen conditions, and that the management and characteristics of the kitchen have effects on the health. It looks to know which group is the most involved in the kitchen conditions, to what degree is the health affected by these conditions, what is the degree to the women’s awareness about the effects in health. Moreover try to see if there is any reaction to remedied these effects, incase they are negative. Related studies about kitchens and human health effects, as well as a survey that was carried out in Chimore are used in the analysis. The effects on health from smoke exposure vary from coughs, and headaches to asthma and even lung cancer. The women perceive the effects, however, they are not aware of the complications in a long term. Adapting to the smoke in the kitchen, accepting it as part of their responsibility in the family, there is almost no intention to change. The dissemination of information about health effects, and the integration of more efficient stoves to cook, are suggested as possibilities to improve the kitchen conditions.

Epithelial cell polarity from the outside looking in.
Epithelial cell polarity may be regulated by protein sorting in the Golgi and delivery to different membrane domains, a view from the inside looking out. But from the outside looking in, cell adhesion may be required first to establish sites for delivery, retention, and separation of membrane proteins, and delivery of presorted proteins from the Golgi subsequently reinforces and maintains diffe...

A numerical investigation of forced convection in a channel with hot solid block inside a square porous block mounted on a bottom wall was carried out. The lattice Boltzmann method was applied for numerical simulations. The fluid flow in the porous media was simulated by Brinkman-Forchheimer model. The effects of parameters such as porosity and thermal conductivity ratio over flow pattern and t...

متن کاملInverse Concentric Mosaic
In this paper, we describe an image-based rendering technique called Inverse Concentric Mosaics (ICM), which is based on Concentric Mosaics (CM) [11]. While CMs allow scenes to be viewed from inside looking out, ICM permits the user to visualize objects from the outside looking in. ICM has the following advantages: viewpoints of objects can be changed in a continuous manner and at interactive s...
