"Five previously analyzed white spot syndrome virus (WSSV) strains from northwest Mexico,differing in their genome architecture as well as in virulence, were selected (high virulence JP and LG strains;moderate virulence GVE and DIV strains; and low virulence LC10 strain) to evaluate pathogenesis response in vitro. Expression of phagocytosis-activating protein PAP, manganese superoxide dismutase MnSOD and peroxiredoxin PRX, and two genes of immediate-early expression (IE1 and WSSV304) were measured by qPCR in a primary hemocyte cell culture from Penaeus vannamei at 1, 3, 6, 12, and 24 h post-infection (hpi). PAP expression was significantly higher at 1 and 3 hpi, and JP and LC10 strains induced the highest expression. The response of MnSOD was high at 1 hpi, and a significant increase in PRX expression was detected at 3 hpi, probably due to the occurrence of an oxidative burst; expression levels of MnSOD and PRX were significantly higher at 1 and 3 hpi, respectively, induced by the LG strain (high virulence), suggesting an acute response. In general, expression of most immune-related - genes decreased after the initial hours of infection. Expression levels of IE1 and WSSV304 were exceptionally high at 1 hpi in almost all five WSSV analyzed strains,confirming their efficient mechanism for replication and viral fitness. The results of this study do not show an accurate link between the genome size and WSSV virulence of the strains, albeit the strain with the smallest genome showed the highest virulence. All strains induced an early immune response in heterogeneous ways."

Utilización de aguajes por el borrego cimarrón (Ovis canadensis cremnobates) y análisis de calidad del agua en Sierra Santa Isabel, Baja California, México

Watering sites use by bighorn sheep (Ovis canadensis cremnobates) and water quality analysis in Sierra Santa Isabel, Baja California, Mexico

Jonathan Gabriel Escobar Flores SERGIO ALVAREZ CARDENAS Sara Cecilia Díaz Castro Aradit Castellanos Vera Jorge Torres Rodriguez MARIANA DELGADO FERNANDEZ (2016, [Artículo])

"Se analizó la utilización de aguajes por el borrego cimarrón en la Sierra Santa Isabel, Baja California, México durante la temporada de sequía de 2011 y 2013 y el periodo de lluvias e inicio de la temporada de sequía del 2015. Asimismo, se estudió la calidad del agua, con base en siete parámetros fisicoquímicos. Se obtuvieron 260 registros fotográficos de borregos cimarrones, donde hembras, añeros y corderos representaron el 73%. En el periodo de lluvias, en dos de los aguajes se obtuvieron valores de conductividad de 1.31 µS/cm2 y 1.92 µS/cm2, y de sólidos disueltos totales de l0.65 ppt y 0.95 ppt, indicando un bajo contenido de sales en el agua. Los valores de oxígeno disuelto mayores a 6.4 ppm, dureza del agua menor a 100 ppm y PH entre 6.5 y 8.5, sugieren que el agua tiene condiciones óptimas para ser bebida por los borregos cimarrones. Los aguajes con mayor utilización por los borregos fueron El Zamora (n = 120) y El Cordero (n = 67), donde se registraron las mejores condiciones de calidad de agua en este estudio. El mayor registro de hembras y añeros, asociado a condiciones óptimas de calidad del agua, confirman la importancia de los aguajes para la crianza y reclutamiento del borrego cimarrón."

"Water used by bighorn sheep during the 2011 and 2013 dry seasons and the rainy season and drought of 2015 in the Sierra Santa Isabel of the State of Baja California, Mexico was analyzed for seven physicochemical parameters. At four watering sites, 260 photographs of sheep were obtained. Females, yearlings, and lambs accounted for 73% of the photographs. In the rainy season at two watering sites, conductivity was 1.31 µS/cm2 and 1.92 µS/cm2 and total dissolved solids was 0.65 and 0.95 ppt, indicating low salt content and safe for bighorn sheep. The watering sites with greater use by bighorn sheep were El Zamora (n = 120) and El Cordero (n = 67), which also had the best water quality. The frequent use by females and yearlings of the two sites with optimal water quality support the belief that watering sites for lambing and recruitment of bighorn sheep is important."

Rigel Hugo Carreón Reyes Juan Carlos Neri Guzmán (2023, [Artículo])

El presente estudio indica de una forma tangible la aplicación de la herramienta FMEA (Failure Mode And Effects Analysis -por sus siglas en inglés) en la aplicación de fabricación de cerámica sanitaria, en donde se evalúan las variables que están relacionadas con el proceso de diseño, procesamiento de piezas cerámicas y de su relación existente para poder alcanzar los requisitos normativos y que estos a su vez sean alcanzables. Dentro del estudio se presenta el análisis y elaboración de la matriz riesgos en modo de fallas, así como una serie de definiciones estadísticas con las cuales son evaluados los procesos de fabricación, así como la explicación clara de la metodología FMEA en donde se indica la adecuación de estos conceptos a este tipo de manufacturas (cerámica sanitaria). Este trabajo también describe a través del estudio de caso de las variables una metodología que detalla los conceptos básicos tales como severidad, detección y ocurrencia combinando el desarrollo de tablas parametrizadas y / o acopladas al tipo de proceso de manufactura cerámica .En los resultados que se obtienen se observa la disminución de la incertidumbre hasta de 85% en los valores de RPN y una mejora en el cpk >1,33 como índice de calidad los riesgos o incertidumbres disminuidos son de forma numérica a través de la comprobación de nuevas acciones y el reanálisis de los conceptos de ocurrencia y detección derivados de la implementación de acciones. Las conclusiones indican como una herramienta adecuada el uso de FMEA para el campo de aplicación de la manufactura de cerámica sanitaria.

The present study indicates in a tangible way the application of the FMEA tool (Failure Mode and Effects Analysis) in the application of sanitary ceramic manufacturing, where the variables that are related to the process of design, processing of ceramic pieces and their existing relationship are evaluated in order to achieve the regulatory requirements and that these in turn are achievable. The study presents the analysis and elaboration of the risk matrix in failure mode as well as a series of statistical definitions with which the manufacturing processes are evaluated as well as the clear explanation of the FMEA methodology (failure mode and effects analysis) where the application and adequacy of these concepts to this type of manufactures (sanitary ceramics) is indicated. This paper also describes through the case study of the variables a methodology that details the basic concepts such as severity, detection and occurrence combining the development of parameterized tables and / or coupled to the type of ceramic manufacturing process. In the results obtained, the decrease in uncertainty of until 85% in the values of RPN and an improvement in the cpk >1.33 as a quality index, the risks or uncertainties decreased are numerically through the verification of new actions and the reanalysis of the concepts of occurrence and detection derived from the implementation of actions. The conclusions indicate as an appropriate tool the use of FMEA for the field of application of the manufacture of sanitary ceramics.

Regional analysis of the wage discrimination in the indigenous workers in Mexico

Christian De la Luz-Tovar SIBYL ITALIA PINEDA SALAZAR (2023, [Artículo, Artículo])

The objective of this research is to estimate and decompose the wage gap between indigenous and non-indigenous workers by region in Mexico, to examine whether there are regional differences in the existing wage inequality that a priori affects the indigenous population and whether these differences can be attributed to the job profile of this group or by systematic labor discrimination against them. Using the data from the 2018 National Household Expenditure Revenue Survey (ENIGH-N) and the Oaxaca-Blinder decomposition, it was found that indigenous workers face a wage gap in all regions of the county. But, this gap is more pronounced in the center and south regions, where, on average, the associated component with labor discrimination has a percentage greater than 56. In contrast, in the north-central and northern regions of Mexico, the residual component is on average less than 33%, which suggests that the wage gap is explained by differences in productivity between groups.

What Are Medusozoans, and Why Do They Sting?

José Agüero Mariae del Carmen Estrada González Leonela Rosales Catalán Ariadne Molina Alonso MARIA DE LOS ANGELES MENDOZA BECERRIL (2022, [Artículo])

"Medusozoans are marine animals without backbones that live near the coasts, or in the depths of the oceans. Some of them are large, but others are even tinier than a seed. Medusozoans have been living on Earth for more than 600 million years. Their bodies are 95% water. Some medusozoans live attached to a surface, but others can swim freely. All medusozoans have tentacles, armed with stinging cells called nematocysts. When the nematocysts are triggered, the tiny stingers inside them can travel at speeds up to 67 km per hour. Around 3% of medusozoans are harmful to humans. Therefore, when visiting beaches where these harmful medusozoans live, it is necessary to take some precautions. Wearing protective clothing and not touching a medusozoan stranded on the beach will help you stay safe and healthy, so you can enjoy your beach day!"

How a holobiome perspective could promote intensification, biosecurity and eco-efficiency in the shrimp aquaculture industry

Eric Daniel Gutiérrez Pérez RICARDO VAZQUEZ JUAREZ FRANCISCO JAVIER MAGALLON BARAJAS MIGUEL ANGEL MARTINEZ MERCADO GRISEL ALEJANDRA ESCOBAR ZEPEDA Paola Magallón Servín (2022, [Artículo])

"The aquaculture industry faces many challenges regarding the intensification of shrimp rearing systems. One of these challenges is the release of excessive amounts of nitrogen and phosphorus into coastal areas, causing disruption in nutrient cycling and microbial equilibrium, which are important for coastal productivity. Biosecurity within the shrimp rearing systems can also be compromised by disruption to the nutrient fluxes, and as consequence the microbiome of the system. In certain conditions, these changes could lead to the blooming of potentially pathogenic bacteria. These changes in the external microbiome of the system and the constant fluctuations of nutrients can affect the intestinal microbiome of shrimp, which is involved in the growth and development of the host, affecting nutrient absorption, regulating metabolic processes, synthesising vitamins, modulating the immune response and preventing growth of pathogenic bacteria. It has been suggested that specific changes in the intestinal microbiome of Litopenaeus vannamei may be an avenue through which to overcome some of the problems that this industry faces, in terms of health, growth and waste. Recent research, however, has focussed mainly on changes in the intestinal microbiome. Researchers have overlooked the relevance of other aspects of the system, such as the microbiome from the benthic biofilms; zooplankton, plankton and bacterioplankton; and other sources of microorganisms that can directly affect the microbial status of the intestinal and epiphytic communities, especially in rearing systems that are based on intensification and microbial maturation processes, such as a biofloc system. It is therefore necessary to place holobiome studies into context, including the ‘holobiome of the aquaculture system’ (microbiomes that make up the culture system and their interactions) and not only the intestinal microbiome. Thus, we describe factors that affect the shrimp microbiome, the methodology of study, from sampling to bioinformatic workflows, and introduce the concept of the ‘holobiome of the aquaculture system’ and how this enables us to promote the intensification, biosafety and eco-efficiency of shrimp farming. The holobiome perspective implies a greater investment of resources and time for research, but it will accelerate the development of technology that will benefit the development and sustainability of the aquaculture industry."

Current variability by wave propagation in Todos Santos Bay, Baja California

Variabilidad de corrientes por propagación de ondas en bahía Todos Santos, Baja California, México

EFRAIN MATEOS FARFAN SILVIO GUIDO LORENZO MARINONE MOSCHETTO (2017, [Artículo])

The temperature, velocity, and sea level fields for a summer climatological month (August) were analyzed using tridimensional and baroclinic model outputs in Todos Santos Bay (TSB), Baja California, Mexico. The numerical model was forced with wind (nonstationary), heat flux, and California Current System climatology on the open boundary. The 3- to 5-day current variability is related to a baroclinic wave traveling towards the northwest of the bay. Wave travel periodicity was due to the release of accumulated water from the Ensenada–Punta Banda Estuary (E–PBE) region. Local wind stress causes southeastward water flow and, given the TSB geometry, water accumulates in the E–PBE region. Weakening wind stress was the main cause of water release. In addition, complex empirical ortogonal function analysis found that outer TSB disturbances cause sea level variability.

LA PRÁCTICA DOCENTE INTERCULTURAL EN CONTEXTO URBANO: EL CASO DE LA ASIGNATURA DE LENGUA Y CULTURA MAPUCHE EN UNA ESCUELA DE SANTIAGO DE CHILE

Sofia Pilar Bravo Arias (2023, [Tesis de maestría])

“El año 2010 se crea en Chile el Sector de Lengua y Cultura Indígena, dentro del Programa de Educación Intercultural Bilingüe (PEIB). Esto establece la impartición de una asignatura de Lengua y Cultura en todos los establecimientos públicos que tengan al menos un 20% de estudiantes indígenas, además de la creación de la figura del Educador Tradicional Indígena (ETI), quien está a cargo de impartirla. En la actualidad la ciudad de Santiago de Chile pertenece a la región con mayor población indígena (la gran mayoría mapuche), sin embargo, hay pocas nociones de cómo se aplica el PEIB en este contexto urbano superdiverso que supone nuevas interrogantes a la impartición de la Educación Intercultural Bilingüe centrada en los pueblos originarios. Desde la etnografía escolar se aborda focalizadamente –pero no únicamente- el caso de una escuela de la periferia de la ciudad en la que implementa la asignatura de Lengua y Cultura Mapuche. Se analiza la práctica docente intercultural de la Educadora Tradicional mapuche principal de esta escuela, esto implica problematizar la figura de ETI en la ciudad, la que posee una identidad urbana con más facilidades de integrarse en la escuela. Además, se aborda la inserción de ella y otros ETI en sus escuelas, y los impactos que genera su práctica en estas instituciones, las cuales se apropian de un discurso intercultural para dotar de identidad a su institución y establecer valores fundamentales de su proyecto educativo. Ya en el aula, podemos ver que la práctica docente intercultural de los ETI debe traducir y negociar interculturalmente entre las rígidas formas escolares y las formas mapuche, dando paso a la creación de nuevas prácticas escolares. Finalmente, a partir de la propia reflexividad docente y el “saber hacer” vemos cómo las convicciones y procesos identitarios permean la práctica”.
