Actualmente muchas industrias buscan sustituir los colorantes sintéticos por naturales, debido a su efecto nocivo y a la alta contaminación del medio ambiente. Del insecto Dactylopius coccus Costa (grana carmín) se obtienen productos naturales que se pueden usar como colorantes, por lo que el objetivo de este trabajo fue difundir la aplicación del insecto grana carmín y los productos derivados del mismo en el teñido de una tela de algodón y en la coloración de una bala labial a nivel laboratorio. Al aplicar el extracto acuoso de la grana carmín sobre la tela de algodón, se consiguieron colores homogéneos, con valores promedio en la escala CIELab de: 43.81±0.33 L*, 44.64±0.15 a* y -4.03±0.55 b*. Asimismo al aplicar el pigmento laca carmín en la elaboración de una bala labial se lograron colores uniformes con los siguientes valores promedio en la escala CIELab: 13.25±3.62 L*, 4.80±1.41 a* y -0.23±0.84 b*.

Entender como los colores son percibidos por los polinizadores es una tarea fundamental para la ecología y la agricultura. La mayoría de los trabajos se han realizado usando la percepción de color del ojo humano; sin embargo, el ojo especializado de un insecto percibe colores en diferentes longitudes de onda dependiendo del tipo y número de fotoreceptores que contenga. En la actualidad con el avance de la ciencia y la tecnología se realizan medidas de reflectancias de las flores y se desarrollan modelos de visión de insectos y otros grupos de polinizadores que nos permiten de una manera más precisa entender la interacción plantapolinizador y la evolución del color floral.

Análisis de sequías en el marco del Tratado sobre Aguas Internacionales de 1944

Felipe Arreguin Mario Lopez Perez (2013, [Artículo])

Se presenta el análisis de sequías en las cuencas de los ríos Colorado y Bravo, mediante el Índice de Escurrimientos Estandarizados. En el río Colorado se registraron tres años con sequía extrema (1934, 1977 y 2002) en la cuenca total y en la región alta de la misma, y cuatro años (1928, 1929, 1935 y 1936) en la cuenca baja. Aplicando este mismo criterio, en el caso del río Bravo se registró una sequía extrema para el periodo k3 (octubre-junio) en el año agrícola 1901-1902. El Índice de Precipitación Estandarizada sólo se aplicó en la cuenca del río Colorado, y se encontró una coincidencia de sequía extrema entre la cuenca baja y total en los años 1950, 1956 y 1989; además, en este último año, también hubo sequía extrema en la cuenca alta. Tales resultados son importantes para el manejo conjunto del agua entre México y Estados Unidos en ambas cuencas, para satisfacer las demandas de sus habitantes, cumplir compromisos establecidos en el Tratado sobre Aguas Internacionales de 1944, y tomar las medidas necesarias ante el impacto del cambio climático sobre el ciclo hidrológico en la región.

The past, the present, the future, and occupational self-efficacy: an attributions and cultural differences perspective

Daniel Arturo Cernas Ortiz (2023, [Artículo, Artículo])

This study´s objective was to examine empirical relationships between three dimensions of time perspective (future, present fatalistic, and past negative) and occupational self-efficacy. By surveying Mexican (n = 286) and U.S. (n = 272) respondents, we also tested the moderating role of culture. Regression analyses revealed that time perspective dimensions have significant associations with occupational self-efficacy, being future time perspective more potent than its past negative and present fatalistic counterparts. Moderation analyses indicated that none of the examined time perspective-self-efficacy relationships varied significantly between the U.S. and Mexico. Overall, this study suggests that relationships between time perspective and occupational self-efficacy vary according to different temporal dimensions, that future TP is key to develop occupational self-efficacy, and that cultural values may not exert a significant influence on the time perspective-occupational self-efficacy connection.

Natural disasters and economic growth: a synthesis of empirical evidence

Fernando Antonio Ignacio González (2023, [Artículo, Artículo])

Natural disasters pose a serious threat globally and, in the future, their frequency and severity are expected to increase due to climate change. Empirical evidence has reported conflicting results in terms of the impact of disasters on economic growth. In this context, the present work seeks to synthesize the recent empirical evidence related to this topic. More than 650 estimates, from studies published in the last five years (2015-2020), are used. Meta-analysis and meta-regression techniques are employed. The review includes three sources (Scopus, Science Direct, and Google Scholar). The results identified the existence of a negative and significant combined effect (-0.015). Developing countries are especially vulnerable to disasters. The negative impact is greater for disasters that occurred in the last decade -in relation to previous disasters-. These findings constitute a call for attention in favor of mitigation and adaptation policies.

On-farm assessment of yield and quality traits in durum wheat

Facundo Tabbita Iván Ortíz-Monasterios Francisco Javier Pinera-Chavez Maria Itria Ibba Carlos Guzman (2023, [Artículo])

BACKGROUND: Durum wheat is key source of calories and nutrients for many regions of the world. Demand for it is predicted to increase. Further efforts are therefore needed to develop new cultivars adapted to different future scenarios. Developing a novel cultivar takes, on average, 10 years and advanced lines are tested during the process, in general, under standardized conditions. Although evaluating candidate genotypes for commercial release under different on-farm conditions is a strategy that is strongly recommended, its application for durum wheat and particularly for quality traits has been limited. This study evaluated the grain yield and quality performance of eight different genotypes across five contrasting farmers’ fields over two seasons. Combining different analysis strategies, the most outstanding and stable genotypes were identified. RESULTS: The analyses revealed that some traits were mainly explained by the genotype effect (thousand kernel weight, flour sodium dodecyl sulfate sedimentation volume, and flour yellowness), others by the management practices (yield and grain protein content), and others (test weight) by the year effect. In general, yield showed the highest range of variation across genotypes, management practices, and years and test weight the narrowest range. Flour yellowness was the most stable trait across management conditions, while yield-related traits were the most unstable. We also determined the most representative and discriminative field conditions, which is a beneficial strategy when breeders are constrained in their ability to develop multi-environment experiments. CONCLUSIONS: We concluded that assessing genotypes in different farming systems is a valid and complementary strategy for on-station trials for determining the performance of future commercial cultivars in heterogeneous environments to improve the breeding process and resources.

Gender, rainfall endowment, and farmers’ heterogeneity in wheat trait preferences in Ethiopia

Hom Nath Gartaula Moti Jaleta (2024, [Artículo])

Wheat is a vital cereal crop for smallholders in Ethiopia. Despite over fifty years of research on wheat varietal development, consideration of gendered trait preferences in developing target product profiles for wheat breeding is limited. To address this gap, our study used sex-disaggregated survey data and historical rainfall trends from the major wheat-growing regions in Ethiopia. The findings indicated heterogeneity in trait preferences based on gender and rainfall endowment. Men respondents tended to prefer wheat traits with high straw yield and disease-resistance potential, while women showed a greater appreciation for wheat traits related to good taste and cooking quality. Farmers in high rainfall areas seemed to prioritize high straw yield and disease resistance traits, while those in low rainfall areas valued good adaptation traits more highly. Most of the correlation coefficients among the preferred traits were positive, indicating that farmers seek wheat varieties with traits that serve multiple purposes. Understanding men's and women's preferences and incorporating them in breeding and seed systems could contribute to the development of more targeted and effective wheat varieties that meet the diverse needs of men and women farmers in Ethiopia.

Structural analysis evaluationfor rollers of chassis dynoUsing finite element software

Jesús Emmanuel López Rizo ALFREDO CHAVEZ LUNA JAIME GONZALO SANTANA ESQUIVEL (2023, [Artículo])

This paper discusses the design considerations for a chassis dynamometer, focused on the rollers system used for measuring the power and torque of a vehicle in a university-level workshop. The design must prioritize factors such as safety, ease of use, adaptability to diverse types of vehicles, and the inclusion of safety systems to protect students and the vehicle. The work suggests adaptative features for the design, such as an adjustable fastening system and a compact and portable design, to adapt the structure into a university laboratory. The study also describes common methods for measuring engine power and torque using a chassis dynamometer, and the accurate and reliable measurement systems used for this purpose. This concludes with a discussion of the manufacturing methods used for the chassis dynamometer and a static analysis of the maximum effort capacity in each roller using Von Mises and Goodman fatigue theories. Developing a chassis dynamometer, in accordance the current patents available for workshop practices in a university is essential for providing students with comprehensive training.

Pertinencia del análisis transdisciplinario de la lírica-musical popular latinoamericana

Fermin Monroy Villanueva (2023, [Capítulo de libro])

Capítulo número 3 de la Sección El juego de los signos.

El objetivo de este texto es resaltar la importancia de llevar a la práctica el análisis transdisciplinario de lo que comúnmente es conocido como canción popular, elemento fundamental de los géneros musicales latinoamericanos que aún son considerados representativos de la identidad de sus países. De entre el basto universo integrado por este tipo de producciones, el enfoque está en la música de mariachi mexicano –base de la canción ranchera–, el tango canción argentino y el pasillo ecuatoriano. En este sentido, sostenemos que el análisis de las letras es una vía de aproximación para conocer las condiciones contextuales que caracterizaron la época en que fueron escritas, es decir, al ámbito social, cultural, político, histórico, económico y, de forma muy particular, al emocional. De tal modo, el análisis de la lírica permite reconocer continuidades y resaltar la vigencia de elementos simbólicos que participan en la configuración de sujetos, sociedades y culturas: patrióticos (en la mención de héroes nacionales, lugares y fechas históricas, banderas, escudos, himnos), religiosos (Dios, santos, vírgenes, mártires), espaciales (pueblos, barrios, el campo, las ciudades), conductuales (comportamientos estereotipados en mujeres y hombres, costumbres), etcétera.
