    This dataset was created to support the 2016 Social Pulse in Latin America and the Caribbean: Realities & Perspectives. The publication highlights specific indicators where progress has been made such us "race and ethnicity," and areas where large gaps remain. Also, the new dynamic between generations: "poverty and family structure," examines demographic shifts in the region, including the evolution of family living arrangements and trends in the age profile of poverty.

    The Community Nutrition Program in El Alto, Bolivia is the second phase of a program originally implemented between 2008 and 2011. The newly-structured program had objectives to improve infant and young child feeding practices, hygiene, and child nutritional status through a behavioral-change strategy based on participatory play education. This dataset includes the data of an evaluation survey to this program, which contains three rounds of data—Baseline (2014), endline 1 (2016) and endline 2 (2017)—on an (unbalanced) panel of 2015 households with children under the age of 12 months or pregnant women at baseline. The survey includes a rich set of socio-economic, demographic and nutrition variables. Datasets were anonymized to protect subject privacy. Variable names, their labels, and any actions taken for de-identification purposes are noted in the codebook below.

    The COVID-19 pandemic has shown that bioinformatics--a multidisciplinary field that combines biological knowledge with computer programming concerned with the acquisition, storage, analysis, and dissemination of biological data--has a fundamental role in scientific research strategies in all disciplines involved in fighting the virus and its variants. It aids in sequencing and annotating genomes and their observed mutations; analyzing gene and protein expression; simulation and modeling of DNA, RNA, proteins and biomolecular interactions; and mining of biological literature, among many other critical areas of research. Studies suggest that bioinformatics skills in the Latin American and Caribbean region are relatively incipient, and thus its scientific systems cannot take full advantage of the increasing availability of bioinformatic tools and data. This dataset is a catalog of bioinformatics software for researchers and professionals working in life sciences. It includes more than...
