Habitability conditions for floods: the case of Tuxtla Gutiérrez, Chiapas, Mexico

MARCELINO GARCIA BENITEZ Saul Nucamendi Hernandez Omar Ávila Flores (2022, [Artículo, Artículo])

At present, there are changes in the environment that favor the presence of extreme climatic phenomena such as floods, this exposure implies that the populations of urban areas suffer effects on their material assets, which limits their capacity for individual and / or family development. Given the lack of local territorial planning, the establishment of colonies was allowed on the banks of the Sabinal river and its tributaries that present episodes of flooding during the rainy season (Sistema Municipal de Protección Civil, 2015).

 

The study evaluates the habitability conditions of the urban population exposed to flooding, the city of Tuxtla Gutiérrez, Chiapas is taken as a reference, since historically it is a recurring problem during the summer. The methodology interrelates geostatistical, spatial and cartographic databases with hemerographic information sources based on the review of the literature for the construction of the general index, determined in dimensions that group social, economic, educational aspects, availability of basic services, goods with those that count the dwellings and their accessibility, etc., on a geographical scale of Urban Geostatistical Areas (AGEB).

 

The results obtained generated an index on the distribution of habitability conditions by urban Ageb, they are interrelated with spatial data on floods and their relationship with Sustainable Development Goal 11 (ODS), which proposes to improve infrastructure conditions in cities and towns. sustainable communities so that the inequality originated among the population exposed to future extreme flood events that occur in the different areas that make up the city is reduced.

Introduction: the elevation of the transcrestal floor of the maxillary sinus consists of the vertical reconstruction of the atrophic alveolar ridge in an apical direction, with which it is possible to place the correct number and length of oral implants. Objective: to describe the procedure of a case of transcrestal maxillary sinus floor elevation with the placement of three dental implants. Clinical case: 62 year old female patient with missing teeth 16, 25 and 26. Treatment: three implants were placed to replace the missing teeth. Due to the decrease in height of the remaining alveolar ridge due to pneumatization of the maxillary sinuses, elevation of the sinus floor was planned with the transcrestal Summers¿s technique and placement of graft material. Results: by means of the grafts, sufficient height was achieved for the correct stability of the implants, each área had an average gain of 3 mm in bone height, with which length was obtained to give the implants adequate primary stability. Conclusion: sinus floor elevation with a transcrestal approach is a good alternative for rehabilitation with implants in the posterior edentulous sector, associated with pneumatization of the maxillary sinuses.

How diverse are farming systems on the Eastern Gangetic Plains of South Asia? A multi-metric and multi-country assessment

Brendan Brown Pragya Timsina Emma Karki (2023, [Artículo])

While crop diversification has many benefits and is a stated government objective across the Eastern Gangetic Plains (EGP) of South Asia, the complexity of assessment has led to a rather limited understanding on the progress towards, and status of, smallholder crop diversification. Most studies focus on specific commodities or report as part of a singular index, use outdated secondary data, or implement highly localized studies, leading to broad generalisations and a lack of regional comparison. We collected representative primary data with more than 5000 households in 55 communities in Eastern Nepal, West Bengal (India) and Northwest Bangladesh to explore seasonally based diversification experiences and applied novel metrics to understand the nuanced status of farm diversification. While 66 crops were commercially grown across the region, only five crops and three crop families were widely grown (Poaceae, Malvaceae, and Brassicaceae). Non-cereal diversification across the region was limited (1.5 crops per household), though regional differentiation were evident particularly relating to livestock and off-farm activities, highlighting the importance of cross border studies. In terms of farmer's largest commercial plots, 20% of systems contained only rice, and 57% contained only rice/wheat/maize, with substantial regional diversity present. This raises concerns regarding the extent of commercially oriented high value and non-cereal diversification, alongside opportunities for diversification in the under-diversified pre-monsoon and monsoon seasons. Future promotional efforts may need to focus particularly on legumes to ensure the future sustainability and viability of farming systems.

Análisis de la disminución de emisiones de CO2 en el acondicionamiento de un espacio con un sistema pasivo

JULIO CESAR BRITO REYNA (2023, [Tesis de maestría])

En el contexto global de la dependencia de fuentes de energía fósil en el modelo energético actual, la electricidad desempeña un papel fundamental en el crecimiento y desarrollo de las ciudades. Derivado del consumo excesivo de estas fuentes, se genera la presencia de fenómenos como el Cambio Climático, evidenciando así el uso generalizado de sistemas de climatización en edificaciones durante la temporada de verano en áreas geográficas con climas tropicales y cálidos.

El trabajo presenta un estudio comparativo anual de los impactos ambientales de dos sistemas de climatización en un espacio construido previamente: un sistema activo y un sistema pasivo. El estudio se llevó a cabo mediante la simulación de procesos sustentables utilizando el software TRNSYS® y también se evaluaron los indicadores de Calentamiento Global, Agotamiento de la Capa de Ozono y Agotamiento de combustibles fósiles, por mencionar a algunos, utilizando la metodología de Análisis de Ciclo de Vida (ACV) en el software OpenLCA. Los resultados demuestran una reducción de los impactos ambientales mediante el uso de elementos pasivos en comparación con el uso de dos aires acondicionados y su consumo eléctrico, evitando una huella de carbono de un 98% en su etapa de construcción y hasta en un 100% en su etapa de operación.

Este estudio contribuye al conocimiento sobre la importancia de implementar estrategias de climatización pasiva en edificaciones existentes como una alternativa sostenible y de bajo impacto ambiental. Los hallazgos respaldan la necesidad de promover soluciones más eficientes y respetuosas con el medio ambiente en el sector de la climatización, en línea con la transición hacia un modelo energético más sostenible y la mitigación del Cambio Climático.

In the global context of dependence on fossil fuel energy sources in the current energy model, electricity plays a crucial role in the growth and development of cities. This is evident in the widespread use of air conditioning systems in buildings during the summer season in areas with tropical and warm climates.

This work presents an annual comparative study of the environmental impacts of two cooling systems in a pre-existing space: the active system and the passive system. The study was carried out through the simulation of sustainable processes using the TRNSYS® software, and various indicators such as Global Warming Potential (GWP100a), Ozone Depletion Potential, and Fossil Fuel Depletion were evaluated using the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) methodology in the OpenLCA software. The results demonstrate a reduction in environmental impacts through the use of passive elements compared to the use of two air conditioning units and their electricity consumption, avoiding a carbon footprint of 98% during its construction stage and up to 100% during its operational stage

This study contributes to the understanding of the importance of implementing passive cooling strategies in existing buildings as a sustainable and low-impact alternative. The findings support the need to promote more efficient and environmentally-friendly solutions in the cooling sector, in line with the transition towards a more sustainable energy model and the mitigation of Climate Change.

Transición de leña a gas licuado a presión (GLP) en el sur de México, oportunidad para la mitigación del cambio climático en la región menos desarrollada del país

Transition from biomass to LP gas in southern Mexico, an opportunity for climate change mitigation in the least developed region in the country

Elio Guarionex Lagunes Díaz María Eugenia González Rosende Alfredo Ortega Rubio (2015, [Artículo])

"En los estados del sur de México, entre un 25% y un 55% de los hogares dependen de la leña para cocinar, lo cual trae consecuencias en el ambiente, el desarrollo y la salud. No obstante, el conocimiento de estas consecuencias y la migración hacia combustibles modernos ha permanecido relegada de las políticas de desarrollo. En este trabajo, partiendo de una descripción del panorama de uso de leña en el país y su importancia como fuente de energía, se presenta una aproximación para estimar ahorros en emisiones de CO2 logrables por la transición a gas licuado a presión (GLP), los cuales pueden alcanzar 3.14 Mt CO2e, 26% menos que el escenario base. Se finaliza con una discusión de la transición hacia combustibles modernos, las barreras que la impiden y los logros y fallos de la distribución de estufas ahorradoras de leña, la principal iniciativa gubernamental para aliviar el consumo de leña en el país."

"Between 25% and 55% of households in southern Mexico depend on biomass for cooking, which carries serious consequences on the environment, development and health. In spite of the knowledge of these consequences, transition from biomass to modern fuels has remained outside energy and development policies. In the present work, after describing the panorama of fuelwood use in the country and its importance as an energy source, an approach is presented for estimating CO2 savings achievable by transition to pressurized liquefied gas (LP). These savings can reach 3.14 Mt CO2e, 26% less than the baseline scenario. At the end we discuss on the transition to modern fuels in Mexico, the barriers that hinder it and the achievements and failures of the distribution of fuelwood saving cookstoves, as the only and most important governmental initiative to alleviate biomass use, comparing it with other priorities in the government's agenda."

Hot Extremes and Climatological Drought Indicators in the Transitional Semiarid-Subtropical Region of Sinaloa, Northwest Mexico

OMAR LLANES CARDENAS OSCAR GERARDO GUTIERREZ RUACHO Iván Hernández Romano ENRIQUE TROYO DIEGUEZ (2022, [Artículo])

"The main goal of this study was to explore the historical and recent spatial concurrence between the frequency (F), duration (D) and intensity (I) of hot extremes (HEs) and the frequency and evolution of meteorological drought in the region of Sinaloa. Based on the values of daily maximum temperatura (Tmax) and precipitation obtained from CLImate COMputing for the interval April–October of a historical period (1963–2000) and a recent period (1982–2014), the HE and the standardized precipitation index (SPI) were calculated on one-month (SPI-1) and four-month (SPI-4) timescales. Spearman rank correlation coefficients (Sr) were used to obtain the significant concurrences (SCs) between HEs and SPI-1, and HEs and SPI-4. El Quelite weather station showed the highest historical SCs between HEs and SPI-1 (−0.66≤Sr≤−0.57). Jaina is the only station that showed SCs with all four indicators of HEs and SPI-4 (−0.47≤Sr≤−0.34). In this study, the concurrence between HEs and SPI-1, and HEs and SPI-4 was determined for the first time. These are phenomena that can decrease the crop yield, particularly for rainfed crops such as maize, sesame and sorghum in the region commonly known as “the breadbasket of Mexico."

Hugo Albeiro Saldarriaga Noreña MARIO ALFONSO MURILLO TOVAR JOSEFINA VERGARA SANCHEZ JEANNETE RAMIREZ APARICIO Lorena Magallón Cacho MARIA LUISA GARCIA BETANCOURT (2023, [Artículo])

Wastewater-containing dyes are an environmental problem. The prime source of dye pollutants is the textile industry, such as paper manufacturing, food processing, leather, pigments, etc. Dye removal from wastewater using nanotechnology has received attention in recent decades thanks to efficient nanomaterials improving traditional technologies. In recent years, multiple research reports on carbon nanotubes for dye removal and photocatalytic dye degradation provided substantial insight into the comprehension of nanotechnology and remediation. This work presents a review and bibliometric analysis of carbon nanotubes for dye removal and photocatalytic dye degradation, which have an environmental impact today. The bibliometric study showed that the current research tendency on carbon nanotubes applied in dye removal and photocatalysis is still growing. According to research, this work observed that carbon nanotubes for dye removal exhibit high removal and efficient photocatalysis activity, indicating the functionality of nanotechnology for environmental remediation. The analysis of the parameters involved in the removal studies, such as temperature and pH, showed adsorption behavior. The photodegradation of methylene blue demonstrated the photocatalytic activity of carbon nanotubes attributed to the sp2 lattice of graphitic configuration.
