Galápagos Islands Ecuador   Galápagos Islands © UNESCO / Francesco Bandarin Situated in the Pacific Ocean some 1,000 km from the South American continent, these 19 islands and the surrounding marine reserve have been called a unique ‘living museum and showcase of evolution’. Located at the confluence of three ocean currents, the Galápagos are a ‘melting pot’ of marine species. Ongoing seismic and volcanic activity reflects the processes that formed the islands. These processes, together with the extreme isolation of the islands, led to the development of unusual animal life – such as the land iguana, the giant tortoise and the many types of finch – that inspired Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution by natural selection following his visit in 1835.

El Sistema Nacional de Información Estadística y Geográfica (SNIEG) y los subsistemas que lo conforman, han creadoel Catálogo Nacional de Indicadores en el cual pordemos apreciar las estructuras de los mismos.

Agrego aqui un ejemplo del Subsistema Nacional de Información Demográfica y Social de un Indicador de salud

Esta nota, siendo de interes general del equipo, creo que es aun mas para Joel y Juan

Suerte!

Estimados Colegas>

Este es un ejemplo de lo que se desea en lo que corresponde a la estructura y formato las variables y los indicadores y adicionalmente el Indice de Salud Municipal que se muestra en la liga correspondiente . finalmente, el documento tre un apartado sobr geografia del Pais, por lo que es adecuado reconocer lo propio aplicable a Jalisco .

Espero sus comentarios por esta via

Esta liga parece tener bunea información de Gobierno del Estado respecto a Salud ¿Que opuinas?

Vean esta Liga:

Interesante, sobre todo me gustaria que analizaran la cartografía OBSERVATORIOEN SEGURIDAD ALIMENTARIA Y NUTRICIONAL

Cancer Map Patterns

Maps depicting the geographic variation in cancer incidence, mortality or treatment can be useful tools for developing cancer control and prevention programs, as well as for generating etiologic hypotheses. An important question with every cancer map is whether the geographic pattern seen is due to random fluctuations, as by pure chance there are always some areas with more cases than expected, or whether the map reflects true underlying geographic variation in screening, treatment practices, or etiologic risk factors.

Methods

Nine different tests for spatial randomness are evaluated in very practical settings by applying them to cancer maps for different types of data at different scales of spatial resolution: breast, prostate, and thyroid cancer incidence; breast cancer treatment and prostate cancer stage in Connecticut; and nasopharynx and prostate cancer mortality in the U.S.

Conclusions

When publishing cancer maps we recommend evaluating the spatial patterns observed using Tango’s MEET, a global clustering test, and the spatial scan statistic, a cluster detection test.

Presentacion interesante, ¿Que hago ahora que  comprendi lo importante que son los SIG? -traduccion mas optimista- de: "I’m getting too old to understand GIS, but I think I finally know what we need it for. Can you help?"
