Antioxidant profile of hot and sweet pepper cultivars by two extraction methods

MERCEDES GEORGINA RAMIREZ ARAGON ENRIQUE TROYO DIEGUEZ Pablo Preciado Rangel Victoria Jared Borroel García Miguel García-Carrillo JOSE LUIS GARCIA HERNANDEZ (2022, [Artículo])

"Chili peppers are among the most important vegetables in the world. The demand of this fruit reveals a noticeable rapid increasing, which importance is mainly due to its nutraceutical composition. These fruits are rich in capsaicinoids, phenolic compounds, carotenoids, and others, including vitamins. In this study, a comparative evaluation between two extraction methods of bioactive compounds of fourteen chili pepper cultivars was performed. Two extraction methods for antioxidants, the time-solvent and the ultrasound were evaluated. The design of the experiment was completely randomized with three repetitions where variables evaluated were total phenolic compounds, flavonoids content, antioxidant capacity and capsaicin. Results showed that the phenolic compounds oscillated between 48.7 - 634.1 mg GAE/100 g dry weight (DW), the flavonoids content varied from 1 - 97 mg QE/100 g DW, the antioxidant activity from 65 - 348 µmol Trolox/g DW and the capsaicin content oscillated from 0.3 - 922 mg/100 g DW. The extraction method with higher values of bioactive compounds for each of the chili pepper types was the ultrasound for all the measured variables."

La paradoja del hierro

Elizabeth Brassea Pérez VANESSA LABRADA MARTAGON JOSÉ PABLO VÁZQUEZ MEDINA Ramón Gaxiola Robles CLAUDIA JANETL HERNANDEZ CAMACHO TANIA ZENTENO SAVIN (2022, [Artículo])

"El hierro (Fe) es un micromineral abundante en nuestro planeta, el cual participa en procesos biológicos importantes como el transporte de oxígeno en la sangre y la formación del colágeno en los tejidos. A pesar de su disponibilidad en el ambiente y en diversos alimentos, la deficiencia de hierro en el cuerpo humano es común, pudiendo generar problemas de salud. La anemia ferropénica es una condición relacionada a una deficiencia de hierro, disminución en los niveles de hemoglobina y alteraciones en la morfología de las células encargadas de transportar oxígeno en nuestra sangre, los glóbulos rojos. Esta condición ocurre en todas las edades; sin embargo, su prevalencia es mayor en niños(as) menores de 2 años. Aunque puede inducirse por diversos factores, la anemia ferropénica se presenta en mayor medida en individuos con un estado nutricional de hierro insuficiente. Otras causas pueden ser la interacción del hierro con otros nutrientes, pérdidas o excreción y por requerimientos de crecimiento. A nivel mundial, es considerada un problema de salud pública, ya que conlleva a importantes implicaciones sobre la salud humana. Por lo que mantener los niveles adecuados de hierro en nuestro cuerpo a través de una dieta saludable es importante para nuestro crecimiento, salud y resistencia a enfermedades."

"Iron (Fe) is an abundant micromineral in our planet that participates in important biological processes, such as the transport of oxygen in the blood and the formation of collagen in the tissues. Despite its availability in the environment and a variety food items, iron deficiency in the human body is common and could lead to health issues. Iron-deficiency anemia is a condition related to iron deficiency, decrease in hemoglobin levels and alterations in the morphology of the cells responsable for transporting oxygen in our blood, the red blood cells. This condition occurs at all ages; however, its prevalence is higher in children under 2 years old. Although it can be induced by various factors, iron deficiency anemia occurs to a greater rate in individuals with an insufficient iron nutritional status. Other causes may be the interaction of iron with other nutrients, losses or excretion and growth requirements. Globally, it is considered a public health problem, as it has important implications on human health. Therefore, maintaining adequate levels of iron in our body through a healthy diet is important for our development, health, and resistance to diseases."

A Comparison of Multi-Label Text Classification Models in Research Articles Labeled With Sustainable Development Goals

Roberto Carlos Morales-Hernández Joaquín Gutiérrez Jaguey David Becerra-Alonso (2022, [Artículo])

"The classification of scientific articles aligned to Sustainable Development Goals is crucial for research institutions and universities when assessing their influence in these areas. Machine learning enables the implementation of massive text data classification tasks. The objective of this study is to apply Natural Language Processing techniques to articles from peer-reviewed journals to facilitate their classification according to the 17 Sustainable Development Goals of the 2030 Agenda. This article compares the performance of multi-label text classification models based on a proposed framework with datasets of different characteristics. The results show that the combination of Label Powerset (a transformation method) with Support Vector Machine (a classification algorithm) can achieve an accuracy of up to 87% for an imbalanced dataset, 83% for a dataset with the same number of instances per label, and even 91% for a multiclass dataset."

RESISTENCIA POPULAR Y CLASE TRABAJADORA EN YUCATÁN 1915-2015 : EL CASO DE LA SIDRA PINO

JUAN DE DIOS BARRUETA RATH (2023, [Tesis de doctorado])

“Analiza la historia de la clase trabajadora y las formas de resistencia que ésta ha manifestado en Yucatán durante el último siglo. El estudio ha sido motivado desde sus inicios por el contacto que tuve con el movimiento de huelga realizado por los trabajadores de la ya extinta y centenaria embotelladora Sidra Pino, entre 2011 y 2015, el cual tuve la oportunidad de acompañar como creador escénico con el proyecto de teatro documental Sidra Pino, vestigios de una serie, de Murmurante Teatro. Aquella experiencia me hizo cuestionar el por qué esos trabajadores no contaron con el apoyo de una clase trabajadora organizada o un movimiento de resistencia popular como los que habían involucrado a la clase trabajadora yucateca durante el siglo XX. La primera parte de la investigación es de carácter histórico. Inicia en 1915, con la llegada del general Salvador Alvarado a Mérida, donde comenzó a organizar a la clase trabajadora, primordialmente la obrera urbana, en torno a la Casa del Obrero Mundial, marcando el inicio del proceso de incorporación de esos grupos a las estructuras de poder del Estado revolucionario. Dicho proceso se extiende hasta 1970, cuando una reforma a la Ley Federal del Trabajo impulsaría la aparición de sindicatos independientes en México. La segunda parte es de carácter etnográfico, y en ella, acudo a fuentes orales, provenientes de algunos integrantes de las generaciones que convergieron en el movimiento obrero, provenientes de algunos integrantes de las generaciones que convergieron en el movimiento obrero, campesino y popular que tuvo lugar en Yucatán entre 1963, cuando se comenzó a formar la Juventud Comunista en Mérida, y 1974, cuando fue reprimida la formación de sindicatos independientes. La investigación tiene su punto de partida en un acontecimiento reciente, la huelga de la Sidra Pino”.

Multiple approaches to understanding the taxonomic status of an enigmatic new scorpion species of the genus Tityus (Buthidae) from the biogeographic island of Paraje Tres Cerros (Argentina)

Andres Alejandro Ojanguren Affilastro (2017, [Artículo])

Tityus curupi n. sp., belonging to the bolivianus complex, is described from the biogeographically distinct area of Paraje Tres Cerros in north-eastern Argentina. We also present a molecular species delimitation analysis between Tityus curupi n. sp. and its sister species Tityus uruguayensis Borelli 1901 to confirm species integrity. Furthermore, a cytogenetic analysis is presented for these two species which contain different multivalent associations in meiosis, as a consequence of chromosome rearrangements, and the highest chromosome numbers in the genus. © 2017 Ojanguren-Affilastro et al.

Integrative taxonomy and molecular phylogeny of genus Aplysina (Demospongiae: Verongida) from Mexican Pacific

José Antonio Cruz-Barraza (2012, [Artículo])

Integrative taxonomy provides a major approximation to species delimitation based on integration of different perspectives (e.g. morphology, biochemistry and DNA sequences). The aim of this study was to assess the relationships and boundaries among Eastern Pacific Aplysina species using morphological, biochemical and molecular data. For this, a collection of sponges of the genus Aplysina from the Mexican Pacific was studied on the basis of their morphological, chemical (chitin composition), and molecular markers (mitochondrial COI and nuclear ribosomal rDNA: ITS1-5.8-ITS2). Three morphological species were identified, two of which are new to science. A. clathrata sp. nov. is a yellow to yellow-reddish or -brownish sponge, characterized by external clathrate-like morphology; A. revillagigedi sp. nov. is a lemon yellow to green, cushion-shaped sometimes lobate sponge, characterized by conspicuous oscules, which are slightly elevated and usually linearly distributed on rims; and A. gerardogreeni a known species distributed along the Mexican Pacific coast. Chitin was identified as the main structural component within skeletons of the three species using FTIR, confirming that it is shared among Verongida sponges. Morphological differences were confirmed by DNA sequences from nuclear ITS1-5.8-ITS2. Mitochondrial COI sequences showed extremely low but diagnostic variability for Aplysina revillagigedi sp. nov., thus our results corroborate that COI has limited power for DNA-barcoding of sponges and should be complemented with other markers (e.g. rDNA). Phylogenetic analyses of Aplysina sequences from the Eastern Pacific and Caribbean, resolved two allopatric and reciprocally monophyletic groups for each region. Eastern Pacific species were grouped in general accordance with the taxonomic hypothesis based on morphological characters. An identification key of Eastern Pacific Aplysina species is presented. Our results constitute one of the first approximations to integrative taxonomy, phylogeny and evolutionary biogeography of Eastern Pacific marine sponges; an approach that will significantly contribute to our better understanding of their diversity and evolutionary history. © 2012 Cruz et al.

Hyperiid amphipods from the Gulf of Ulloa and offshore region, Baja California: The possible role of the gelatinous zooplankton as a transport vector into the coastal shelf waters

Bertha Lavaniegos (2020, [Artículo])

Hyperiid amphipod species from the Gulf of Ulloa, Baja California, and the adjacent region (from the shelf break to 200 km offshore) were analyzed to evaluate diversity and abundances. This productive area supports small-scale commercial fisheries, including sand bass (Paralabrax nebulifer), California spiny lobster (Panulirus interruptus), abalones, clams, and others. Strong coastal upwelling events were observed during summer seasons of the period 2002-2008 between Punta Eugenia and Punta Abreojos. The upwelling plumes at Punta Abreojos are transported southward in slope waters bordering the coastal shelf of the Gulf of Ulloa, contributing to the separation of coastal and oceanic regions, and explain differences in amphipod diversity and abundances between both regions. In the offshore region, the most abundant species were Vibilia armata, Lestrigonus schizogeneios, Primno brevidens, and Eupronoe minuta, similar to previous findings in northern regions of Baja California and southern California. However, abundances of these species were lower (10-30 individuals/1000 m3), only reaching 20-50% of abundance levels reported off northern Baja California. In the coastal shelf of the Gulf of Ulloa, amphipods were virtually absent during 2002, 2003 and 2006. However, during 2004 and 2005, abundances of P. brevidens increased (54 and 20 ind/1000 m3, respectively). Moreover, during the late summer of 2007, abundances of L. schizogeneios, P. brevidens, Lycaea nasuta, Lycaea pulex, and Simorhynchotus antennarius increased considerably (261, 39, 31, 68, 416 ind/1000 m3, respectively), indicating occasional utilization of the coastal shelf by pelagic amphipods. Changes in gelatinous populations (medusae, siphonophores, ctenophores, doliolids, and salps) paralleled changes in hyperiid populations, with highest abundances in 2005-2008 in the coastal shelf. Significant correlations of 17 amphipod species with gelatinous taxa, which are often used as host organisms by hyperiid amphipods, suggest that gelatinous presence enhanced hyperiid abundance and promoted the progression of hyperiid amphipods onto the coastal shelf during parts of the 2002-2008 period. © 2020 Bertha E.

Phylogenetic relationships of Pseudo-nitzschia subpacifica (Bacillariophyceae) from the Mexican Pacific, and its production of domoic acid in culture

Sonia Quijano (2020, [Artículo])

Pseudo-nitzschia is a cosmopolitan genus, some species of which can produce domoic acid (DA), a neurotoxin responsible for the Amnesic Shellfish Poisoning (ASP). In this study, we identified P. subpacifica for the first time in Todos Santos Bay and Manzanillo Bay, in the Mexican Pacific using SEM and molecular methods. Isolates from Todos Santos Bay were cultivated under conditions of phosphate sufficiency and deficiency at 16°C and 22°C to evaluate the production of DA. This toxin was detected in the particulate (DAp) and dissolved (DAd) fractions of the cultures during the exponential and stationary phases of growth of the cultures. The highest DA concentration was detected during the exponential phase grown in cells maintained in P-deficient medium at 16°C (1.14 ± 0.08 ng mL-1 DAd and 4.71 ± 1.11 × 10−5 ng cell-1 of DAp). In P-sufficient cultures DA was higher in cells maintained at 16°C (0.25 ± 0.05 ng mL-1 DAd and 9.41 ± 1.23 × 10−7 ng cell-1 of DAp) than in cells cultured at 22°C. Therefore, we confirm that P. subpacifica can produce DA, especially under P-limited conditions that could be associated with extraordinary oceanographic events such as the 2013–2016 "Blob" in the northeastern Pacific Ocean. This event altered local oceanographic conditions and possibly generated the presence of potential harmful species in areas with economic importance on the Mexican Pacific coast. © 2020 Quijano-Scheggia et al.
