Innovation plays a key role on a company’s either success or failure. But innovation is not just the creating or adopting new technologies; it is also directly connected with a solid strategic planning. Competitive technology intelligence is based on the systematic and ethical process of gathering, analyzing and transforming information into actionable knowledge. It aims to support decision making and strategic planning, because the knowledge produced by this methodology constitutes an early warning for research, development and innovation [19]. Three-dimensional (3D) printing is a technique of additive manufacturing that has revolutionized engineering, product design and manufacturing, as it allows the rapid conversion of digital 3D model information into physical static objects [45]. However, in the last few years a new possibility has been introduced to add ’time’ as a new dimension to create 4D printing. The medical field keeps changing and progressing at a high speed with new technologies emerging every day. 4D printing on the medical field is an area where it is necessary to provide decision makers with an overview of technological knowledge that helps them generate innovation opportunities. On this thesis, a Competitive technology intelligence approach was executed to identify trends in 4D printing technologies applied to the medical field, in order to provide relevant information through a technological landscape to support decision makers to uncover innovation opportunities. The results of the analysis revealed that most of the research developed is on the materials category, which relates completely to the fact that smart materials are the key difference between 3D and 4D printing. Most of the researches focus on shape memory polymers, hydrogels and liquid crystal elastomers. On the processes category researched is focused on the physical configuration of the printing model, printing parameters and adapting machines to modify the printing configurations. As for the applications, three main subcategories were identified, hollow tubes/stents, tissue engineering and drug delivery. According to the growth kinetics it is a field that although is fairly new, keeps growing and will keep gaining attention.

Los Nn´anncue Ñomndaa frente a la pandemia por COVID-19.

Manuel Garza Zepeda EVER SANCHEZ OSORIO JOHN KENNY ACUÑA VILLAVICENCIO (2023, [Capítulo de libro])

Uno de los aspectos que por supuesto constituye un ámbito relevante de las discusiones es el relativo a la manera de enfrentar la pandemia. En este trabajo presentamos las formas en que las poblaciones Nn´anncue Ñomndaa (amuzgas) del estado de Guerrero, en el sur de México, enfrentaron la emergencia sanitaria desde las prácticas de la vida cotidiana, basadas en una concepción del mundo, de la vida y, por supuesto, de las enfermedades, que les ha permitido resistir a lo largo de su historia a la colonización, otras epidemias, y una gran cantidad de ataques a su forma de existencia.

¿Privatización del sistema penitenciario en México? un balance entorno a las presiones construidas bajo el esquema de asociaciones publico-privadas.

ALBERTO ESPEJEL ESPINOZA MARIELA DIAZ SANDOVAL (2020, [Capítulo de libro])

Entre las grandes asignaturas pendientes en el sistema penitenciario mexicano destaca la puesta en marcha de medidas significativas que coadyuven a la prevención de delitos, la disminución de los índices delictivos y la reinserción en la sociedad de quienes los hubieran

cometido. Ante las distintas problemáticas estructurales que aquejan al sistema carcelario en México, Felipe Calderón Hinojosa anunció en 2010, durante su mandato, la creación de diez penales bajo el esquema de ¿asociaciones público-privadas?, en el contexto de la ¿guerra contra el narcotráfico?. se argumentó que ante la sobrepoblación y la corrupción del sistema carcelario era necesario construir más complejos penitenciarios, a pesar de que con la reforma al sistema penal de 2008 se previó la disminución paulatina del número de internos.

No obstante, los datos siguen siendo preocupantes, pues, de acuerdo con la Comisión Nacional de Seguridad, al finalizar el 2016 la población recluida en los centros penitenciarios era de 233 469 personas (CNS 2016). En este contexto, las prisiones construidas bajo el esquema de asociaciones público-privadas no se han traducido en una alternativa positiva dentro del sistema penitenciario.

El propósito principal de este texto es identificar las características y consecuencias de la inversión de capital privado en la construcción y el manejo de complejos penitenciarios en México. Sostenemos que la utilización del esquema de asociaciones público-privadas en México para la construcción y el manejo de prisiones ha supuesto, al igual que en otros sectores, una serie de problemas, como el dispendio y la opacidad en el uso de los recursos públicos y la ausencia de mejoras efectivas en materia de derechos humanos.

Las morales de resistencia indígena en Xochistlahuaca, México.

JOHN KENNY ACUÑA VILLAVICENCIO (2022, [Capítulo de libro])

Las comunidades indígenas del estado de Guerrero, México, han sido las más afectadas por la crisis sanitaria. De manera particular, me refiero a los amuzgos o ñomndaa de la Costa Chica quienes, más allá de cuestionar el débil papel del Estado en controlar la pandemia por coronavirus, han fortalecido su identidad con la naturaleza, puesto que la consideran como parte de su quehacer humano y colectivo. Lo dicho, nos hace entender que esta enfermedad global es resultado de la transformación acelerada que está sufriendo la naturaleza y esto hace que surjan nuevas enfermedades como la COVID-19, además de que se aniquilen creencias, memorias y costumbres.

Límites y alcances de la medicina tradicional. Los Amuzgos de Guerrero y la Covid-19.

JOHN KENNY ACUÑA VILLAVICENCIO (2022, [Capítulo de libro])

La cosmovisión de los amuzgos busca sobrevivir en un mundo que avasalla y permea su cultura con costumbres y otras formas alternativas de aliviar y curar enfermedades a través de la medicina tradicional. La visión del amuzgo respecto a las enfermedades es completamente diferente a la que se conoce en el mundo occidental, por lo que es importante visibilizar las prácticas y métodos que utilizan para comprender y retomar este conocimiento que permita generar conexiones e intercambios culturales entre dos saberes distintos: la medicina tradicional y la medicina alópata.

Optimization of the alkali-silane treatment of agave lechuguilla fibers (ixtle) for potential reinforcement in polymeric composites

NOEMI JARDON MAXIMINO MARIAMNE DEHONOR GOMEZ Rolando Villa Moreno MARIA DOLORES BAEZA ALVARADO Luis Edmundo Lugo Uribe (2023, [Artículo])

Reinforced polymeric composites with natural fibers have garnered significant interest in recent years due to the need for biomass utilization and the requirements of various industries, such as automotive and construction. Among these natural fibers, Agave lechuguilla fiber, commonly known as ixtle (FIx) or Tampico fiber, exhibits important characteristics such as length, high strength, and durability. However, there is limited literature on its conditioning, functionalization, and utilization as a reinforcing material in polymeric composites (CP). This study presents the optimization of the alkali-silane treatment of FIx, identifying the most suitable reaction conditions to enhance their thermal stability, tensile strength, and silane coupling agent (ACSi) grafting on the fiber surface. The chemical treatment with ACSi proved highly effective, resulting in a significant grafting content, which was confirmed through FTIR and SEM–EDS analyses. The high level of functionalization did not compromise the mechanical performance of the fibers, suggesting that functionalized FIx holds great potential as a reinforcing material in CP. These findings open new paths for the sustainable use of Agave lechuguilla fibers, contributing to the development of environmentally friendly and high-performance polymeric composites in various industrial applications.

Innovative experimental plant to improve coffee processing

IVAN TOVAR ESTRADA Juan Francisco Cedano Lezcano EMANUEL VARGUEZ CALCANEO ESTEBAN GUZMAN RODRIGUEZ (2023, [Artículo])

In Mexico, coffee production refers to a process with traditional processing practices that combine rustic and semi-mechanized activities, where quality is not controlled, placing it in the category of conventional coffee. In recent years worldwide, the demand for high-quality coffee has increased and in order to offer this model, it is necessary to standardize the processing and transformation processes that increase the quality and value of the coffee. In order to exploit the different capacities in our country, it is necessary to design an innovative experimental plant for the processing of the primary coffee beneficiary, which is capable of adapting to the processes known by the producers, through the instruments and machinery the plant will provide The producer has control over the variables that influence taking advantage of the organoleptic properties of the coffee bean prior to harvest. The plant allows experimentation and obtaining controlled results according to the primary processing method to be applied. The development of the experimental plant has three iterative design cycles; 1) concept design, in which the various processes and methods investigated are evaluated to seek their homogenization with the help of instruments for monitoring and control, 2) prototype design, which is carried out with the help of 2D platforms and 3D modeling, that allow visualizing the location of the different equipment, as well as the flows of the different primary processing processes that the producer wishes to apply, and 3) innovation design, in which the products and services allow the value chain to be improved through processes instruments, data control and new techniques. For the development and maintenance of the experimental plant, it is necessary to link the entities that make up the quadruple helix; companies, government, society and public centers and institutes of higher education. In order to promote teamwork, collaboration and the exchange of ideas to strengthen, sustain and enrich the innovation ecosystem created through the experimental plant.

La lógica de la ciencia, la medicina alternativa y el curanderismo durante la nueva normalidad en las comunidades amuzgas de Guerrero.

JOHN KENNY ACUÑA VILLAVICENCIO (2022, [Capítulo de libro])

En la actualidad, varios han sido los intentos de los líderes políticos y de la salud en lograr que las comunidades amuzgas de la Costa Chica de Guerrero acudan a los hospitales y Centros de Salud para hacerse tratar de algún malestar como los generados por el coronavirus (COVID-19 en sus siglas biológico-químicas), porque se trata de una enfermedad letal en el peor de los casos, sin embargo, el rechazo de los amuzgos es mayor de lo que parece. Estos intentos fallidos tienen que ver con la negación de los indígenas a las formas de atención y tratamiento médico que se le ha brindado al cuerpo, es decir, la mirada positiva y el análisis clínico de la anatomía humana y no de su estado espiritual o catártico en tiempos de crisis o pandemia ha dado lugar a su cuestionamiento. Esta distancia entre la ciencia occidental y tradicional guarda relación con la ausencia de un diálogo que permita establecer la formación de un mundo del reconocimiento y del saber Otro en cuyo eje se articula la salud comunitaria.

Monitoreo e Instalación visual de señales a un motor eléctrico de inducción de instalación trifásica de forma jaula de ardilla, mediante la implementación de tecnología industria 4.0

Luis Ricardo Uribe Dávila (2023, [Tesis de maestría])

Vivimos la industria 4.0, misma que no es nueva, ya que sus orígenes se remontan a finales de la década de los 2000, en Alemania. Un pilar de la industria 4.0 es el análisis de datos, conocido como Big Data. El conocer los datos de un proceso, de un estudio, ayuda en gran medida a predecir el comportamiento que tendrá el proceso o la máquina a estudiar en un periodo a corto o mediano plazo. En el presente proyecto se analizan los datos arrojados por un motor eléctrico de corriente alterna, del tipo inducción, jaula de ardilla. El motor está diseñado para trabajar de manera continua, sin embargo, el uso que se le da, es meramente educativo; es decir, no sobre pasa las 15 horas por semana de uso. Mediante la toma de datos de las tres fases de corriente RMS o corriente de valor eficaz que posee el motor eléctrico que se realizará con el microcontrolador Arduino UNO, se analizarán los mismos mediante el software de cómputo numérico MATLAB, ordenando los datos, descartando valores que no aporten información relevante para lograr la predicción de datos. Por último, se llevará a conocer este proyecto a la carrera mecatrónica, área sistemas de manufactura flexible y área automatización, con el fin de que puedan observar de una mejor manera la aplicación y funcionamiento de uno de los pilares de la actual industria 4.0.

We live in industry 4.0, which is not new, since its origins date back to the late 2000s, in Germany. One pillar of industry 4.0 is data analysis, known as Big Data. Knowing the data of a process, of a study, helps greatly to predict the behavior that the process or machine will have to study in a short- or medium-term period. This project analyzes the data released by an electric motor of alternating current, of the type induction, squirrel cage. The engine is designed to work continuously, however, the use given to it is merely educational, that is; only not over spends 15 hours per week of use. By taking data from the three phases of RMS current or effective value current of the electric motor that will be made with the Arduino UNO micro controller, they will be analyzed using MATLAB numerical computing software, ordering the data, discarding values that do not provide relevant information to achieve data prediction. Finally, this project will be presented to the mechatronics career, flexible manufacturing systems area and automation area, so that they can observe in a better way the application and operation of one of the pillars of the current industry 4.0.

In-service weld repair by direct deposition: numerical simulation and experimental validation

LUIS DANTE MELENDEZ MORALES Jose Jorge Ruiz Mondragon MARICRUZ HERNANDEZ HERNANDEZ (2023, [Artículo])

In-Service Welding is a technological process for which interconnection and repair of pipelines can be made while they are in operation, before making it two main risks need to be assessed: hydrogen cracking and burn-through. Current simulations and validations assess these risks independently, but due to its interdependence these risks need to be assessed in conjunction. A repair method not normally used, but with high potential due to its simplicity and versatility is the direct deposition of weld. In the present research, a fluid-thermo-mechanical coupled simulation and validation were done of an in-service welding repair by direct deposition on a flowing pressurized pipe having an internal defect. The results demonstrated the effectiveness of using this repair method to restore the mechanical strength of pipelines. Surface, sub-surface, and volumetric non-destructive examinations evidenced no cracking immediately to finish the repair and delayed. Temperature tendency curves showed good approximations having a maximum difference of 5.09 % between numerical and experimental. Perimeter deformation along the pipe length between numerical and experimental results displayed a similar behaviour with a significant difference in the numerical values attributed to the lack of input data for weld properties. The structural analysis performed in this study used the approach of the risk of burn-through under internal pressure determined by the occurrence of localized radial bulging. Numerical results indicated no relevant plastic strain occurs. Is strongly recommended that thermal analysis assessments using the actual defect morphology would be performed, not only considering the remaining thickness of the pipe.
