Contextual & physiological markers for individual distress (CP-MIND). Brain health as a comprehensive framework for Mental-health equity
(Elsevier, 2026) Morales Sepúlveda, Juan Pablo; Macchiavello, Fiorella; Rojas-Thomas, Felipe
Socioeconomic disadvantage shapes brain–mind health by intensifying exposures, resource scarcity, nutritional insecurity, violence, and weak social support, which dysregulate stress and immune systems. These conditions promote allostatic overload, whereby adaptive stress responses become maladaptive, degrading neural circuits for cognitive control and emotion regulation. In parallel, the microbiota–gut–brain axis links contextual adversity and diet quality to inflammation, barrier dysfunction, and neuroendocrine perturbations that further compromise resilience. Converging evidence connects these biological disruptions to structural and functional brain differences and higher risks of depression, anxiety, stress-related syndromes, and later neurodegeneration. While some sociocultural adaptations may bolster cooperation and communal coping, chronic physiological strain undermines durable resilience. This integrative review advances a combined framework, contextual & physiological markers for Individual distress, nested within a brain–mind health perspective, to organise how socioeconomic disadvantage-related exposures are embedded biologically via allostatic and microbiota–gut–brain axis pathways and manifest as social-cognitive difficulties and affective symptoms. We synthesise evidence across behaviour, neural systems, and systemic physiology to identify leverage points for intervention. Priorities include early multi-domain strategies that reduce chronic stressors; strengthen sleep, nutrition, and social cohesion; and test mechanistic interventions (e.g., allostatic regulation, psychobiotic or dietary modulation) within equity-focused, life-course designs. Understanding how contextual and physiological markers interact is essential for designing effective, scalable policies and clinical approaches that mitigate adversity’s neurobiological impact and reduce long-term disparities in brain–mind health.

Perfil del Observatorio Nutricional Nestlé-Universidad Finis Terrae: percepciones y prácticas alimentarias en niños, niñas y adolescentes en Chile
(Sociedad Chilena de Nutrición, Bromatología y Toxicología, 2025-12-31) Bustos-Arriagada, Edson; López-Arana, Sandra; Duarte-Silva, Lissette; Castillo-Valenzuela, Oscar
Introducción: El Observatorio Nutricional Nestlé –Universidad Finis Terrae surge como respuesta a la limitada información disponible sobre la alimentación, nutrición y estilos de vida en niños, niñas y adolescentes (NNA) chilenos. Objetivo: Describir las características del observatorio nutricional Nestlé-Finis Terrae y los principales hallazgos del período 2022-2024. Sujetos y métodos: A través de encuestas telefónicas estructuradas a personas adultas que se identifican como padres o madres de niños, niñas y adolescentes entre 2 y 15 años, residentes en Chile, se ha monitoreado desde el año 2022 el comportamiento alimentario y estilos de vida de padres, cuidadores y sus hijos. Resultados: Entre los principales hallazgos destaca una elevada percepción de alimentación equilibrada a nivel familiar, con valores relativamente estables entre 2022 y 2024: 57% (intervalo de confianza del 95%, IC 95%: 52,9–61,0) en 2022, 51% (IC 95%: 46,9–55,1) en 2023 y 56% (IC 95%: 51,9–60,0) en 2024. Se observó un aumento sostenido de la improvisación alimentaria, desde 51% en 2022 a 60% en 2024. La preocupación por los precios de los alimentos también creció, de 17% en 2023 a 25% en 2024. En 2023 se registró el mayor nivel de percepción de alergias e intolerancias no diagnosticadas (33%, IC 95%: 29,2–36,9). Además, se identificó una subestimación del estado nutricional real de los hijos y bajo cumplimiento de las recomendaciones sobre actividad física y uso de pantallas. Conclusión: El observatorio se caracteriza por una metodología estandarizada y la continuidad anual en la recolección de datos, lo que permite disponer de información consistente sobre percepciones en salud y nutrición infantil. Aunque el uso de datos autorreportados representa una limitación, los resultados obtenidos constituyen un insumo relevante para el diseño de políticas públicas y estrategias educativas orientadas a promover hábitos de vida más saludables en la infancia y adolescencia chilena. Introduction: The Nestlé–Universidad Finis Terrae Nutritional Observatory was created in response to the limited information available on the diet, nutrition, and lifestyles of Chilean children and adolescents. Objective: To describe the characteristics of the Nestlé–Finis Terrae Nutritional Observatory and the main findings from the 2022–2024 period. Subjects and methods: Since 2022, structured telephone surveys have been conducted with adults who identify as parents of children and adolescents aged 2 to 15 years, residing in Chile. These surveys monitor the eating behaviors and lifestyle habits of parents, caregivers, and their children. Results: One of the main findings was a high perception of balanced family nutrition, with relatively stable values across the years: 57% (95% confidence interval, CI 95%: 52.9–61.0) in 2022, 51% (CI 95%: 46.9–55.1) in 2023, and 56% (CI 95%: 51.9–60.0) in 2024. A steady increase in improvised eating was observed, rising from 51% in 2022 to 60% in 2024. Concern about food prices also grew, from 17% in 2023 to 25% in 2024. In 2023, the highest level of rerceived undiagnosed allergies and intolerances was recorded (33%, CI 95%: 29.2–36.9). Additionally, there was evidence of underestimation of children’s actual nutritional status and low adherence to recommendations regarding physical activity and screen time. Conclusion: The observatory is distinguished by its standardized methodology and annual data collection, providing consistent information on perceptions related to child health and nutrition. Although the use of self-reported data is a limitation, the findings offer valuable input for the development of public policies and educational strategies aimed at promoting healthier lifestyles among Chilean children and adolescents.

A review of IoT enabled intelligent smart energy management for photovoltaic power forecasting and generation
(Elsevier, 2026-01-05) Rao, Challa Krishna; Sahoo, Sarat Kumar; Yanine, Fernando
Renewable energy has emerged as one of the most reliable and widely accepted approaches to address the rising global energy requirements. Among these, solar power development requires focused attention on both maintenance strategies and application methods. To enhance solar energy utilization, Internet of Things (IoT)-enabled monitoring frameworks have been designed, allowing real-time collection and analysis of solar parameters for predicting efficiency and ensuring stable electricity generation. A major concern in demand-side energy regulation lies in utilizing renewable sources effectively while keeping costs manageable and minimizing unnecessary consumption. Hence, careful planning of renewable resource integration is essential. Advanced energy management platforms play a crucial role in supervising energy distribution, especially in scenarios where heavy dependence on the grid exists. The complexities and opportunities introduced by expanding grid networks can be efficiently managed through cloud-based technologies. This work emphasizes the practical application of energy management systems in both industrial operations and academic research, treating them as key stakeholders in the energy sector. The investigation offers a detailed evaluation of IoT applications in photovoltaic power systems and highlights the promising future avenues available to researchers. These include developing new benchmarks to measure IoT performance and refining existing systems through innovative approaches. Furthermore, there is an increasing demand for comprehensive studies on intelligent energy frameworks in smart infrastructures. Such research is critical to advancing IoT-driven applications and sustaining continuous progress in this domain.

Insectario: estructuras artrópodas para un diseño morfogenético interespecie
(Universidad Politecnica de Cataluña, 0025-10-28) Salvatierra Meza, Belén
Este trabajo describe una experiencia pedagógica en segundo año, donde mediante enfoques de Research by Design (RbD), se investigó la morfogénesis de insectos y su potencial para orientar el diseño de estructuras resilientes frente a crisis ecológicas. La observación con lupas y microscopios permitió analizar exoesqueletos y reconocer patrones de segmentación, articulación y envolventes, traducidos en tensores, pieles y módulos. Estos principios derivaron en sistemas modulares replicables, asumiendo la estructura como generadora de espacio. El proceso articuló dibujo, diagramas, modelos y prototipos, integrando diversas escalas y conocimientos. Los resultados evidenciaron un alto desarrollo conceptual, habilitando cruces entre biología, técnica y diseño, delineando escenarios especulativos para nuevas formas de cohabitación. This work describes a second-year pedagogical experience in which, through Research by Design (RbD) approaches, the morphogenesis of insects was investigated for its potential to guide the design of resilient structures in the fase of ecological crises. Observation with magnifying glasses and microscopes enabled the análisis of exoskeletons and the identification of pattern of segmentation, articulation, and envelopes, translated into tensión elements, skins, and modules. These principles gave rise to replicable modular systems, understanding structure as a generator of space. The process wove together drawing, diagrams, physical models, and prototypes, integrating multiple scales and bodies of knowledge. The results showed a high leve of conceptual development, enabling intersections among biology, technique, and design, and outlining speculative scenarios for new forms of cohabitation.
