The adoption of electronic social networks as an essential way of communication has become one of the most dangerous methods to hurt people’s feelings. The Internet and the proliferation of this kind of virtual community have caused severe negative consequences to the welfare of society, creating a social problem identified as cyber-aggression, or in some cases called cyber-bullying. This paper presents research to classify situations of cyber-aggression on social networks, specifically for Spanish-language users of Mexico. We applied Random Forest, Variable Importance Measures (VIMs), and OneR to support the classification of offensive comments in three particular cases of cyber-aggression: racism, violence based on sexual orientation, and violence against women. Experimental results with OneR improve the comment classification process of the three cyber-aggression cases, with more than 90% accuracy. The accurate classification of cyber-aggression comments can help to take measures to diminish this phenomenon.

Excessive dietary sodium is associated with elevated blood pressure (EBP). Bread products are identified as one of the main sources of daily sodium intake. The objective of this cross-sectional study was to evaluate the association between bread and others cereal products consumption with EBP. Frequency intake of a standard serving of bread and other cereal products was recorded and categorized as: ≤3 times/month or never (reference category group) and ≥ once/week. EBP was defined as systolic blood pressure (SBP) ≥120 mmHg and/or diastolic blood pressure (DBP) ≥80 mmHg. Raw and adjusted odds ratios (OR) for the association between consumption of the studied food products and blood pressure status were estimated. Overall, 2011 participants aged 37.3 ± 9.1 years old were included. In the models adjusted for relevant covariates, consumption of one piece of bolillo or telera (OR = 1.39; 95% CI = 1.01–1.89) ≥ once/week was associated with an increased risk of EBP, compared to the reference category. Also, participants consuming one bowl of high-fiber breakfast cereal once/week were less likely to have EBP (OR = 0.73; 95% CI = 0.53–0.98). Initiatives to reduce sodium levels in bread products such as bolillo and telera are needed in Mexico to help manage the cardiovascular risk at the population level.
