Dialéctica, estructura y génesis: la presencia de Lautman en lo virtual deleuziano

Dialectic, structure and genesis: Lautman’s presence in Deleuze’s virtual

Gonzalo Santaya (2022, [Artículo])

Este artículo busca realizar un aporte a los estudios deleuzia nos en torno al concepto de lo virtual, a partir del examen de una fuente fundamental para su determinación: la noción de “dialéctica” extraída de la filosofía matemática de Albert Lautman. Antes que referir a Platón o Hegel, Deleuze se apropia de la dialéctica a partir de este autor, para determinar el plano de lo virtual como un campo problemático,

estructural-genético, simultáneamente inmanente y trascendente a las soluciones actuales que produce. Analizaremos primero el desarrollo del propio Lautman sobre la dialéctica en la filosofía matemática, para

mostrar luego cómo Deleuze pretende extender esa dialéctica más allá de la matemática; finalmente, presentamos algunas reflexiones sobre el privilegio de la matemática que caracteriza los desarrollos de lo virtual en Diferencia y repetición.

This paper aims to make a contribution to Deleuzian studies concerning the concept of the virtual, by examining a fundamental source in its determination: the notion of “dialectic” developed in Albert Lautman’s philosophy of mathematics. It is not Plato or Hegel, but Lautman, who Deleuze chooses to address his conception of the dialectic, determining the virtual field as a problematic one, which is both

structural and genetic, and simultaneously immanent and transcendent

to the actual solutions it produces. We will first analyze Lautman’s own

presentation of the dialectic in philosophy of mathematics to show, secondly, how Deleuze extends this dialectic beyond mathematics; finally, we make some considerations about the privilege given to mathematics in Deleuze’s developments on the virtual in Difference and Repetition.

“We place our hope in the land”: defense of the territory against mining in Ixtacamaxtitlán, Puebla

Veronica Vazquez_Garcia Esteban Martínez Vásquez (2023, [Artículo, Artículo])

Mexico occupies first place in mining exploration in Latin America, a situation that has caused alarm among native peoples because the implementation of extractive projects threatens their vital space. The objective of this paper is to analyze the actions of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) of the Ixtaca Project in Ixtacamaxtitlán, Puebla, as well as the strategies of territorial defense undertaken by the communities to stop its expansion. Data was gathered through one survey, one workshop and various interviews conducted in three communities affected by the project. Results discuss three actions of CSR: 1) job offers; 2) investment in community infrastructure; 3) support for social events. Three main defense strategies were identified: 1) collective agreements refusing to sell water to the company; 2) legal litigations in favor of the right to be consulted as native peoples; 3) the strengthening of peasant agriculture thanks to the defense of the ejido, the conservation of irrigation water and the support received from the federal program Sembrando Vida. The paper concludes that, despite the negative impacts of RCS actions, these strategies have proven effective because mining concessions have been cancelled and some families have returned to agriculture.

Transformation and innovation of knowledge in the construction and sustainable function of housing at the headwaters of San Juan Chamula.

Alejandra Trujillo Miguel Sánchez Álvarez (2022, [Artículo, Artículo])

SUMMARY

 

San Juan Chamula, Chiapas, is one of the most representative cultures of the native peoples of Mexico. The municipal seat is made up of three main neighborhoods: San Juan, San Sebastián and San Pedro. In ancient times, the architectural design of the houses was made of materials such as straw, adobe, bajareque and others of organic origin, which were part of the natural environment of the inhabitants. Thus, houses were built based on the use of natural elements available to the inhabitants as a result of the use of primary sector activity.

 

From the Chamula worldview housing has played functions for rest and shelter, therefore it was considered as a sacred place. When building one, ceremonies and offerings were carried out to appease any disgust of the guardians of Mother Earth, as they considered that nature had life, and to avoid any misfortune among the members of the family. For this, it was necessary to offer music, songs, and special dishes to feed the house and the Earth, so there would be harmony and well-being. Today, that worldview has been disrupted by the presence of multiple religions and other factors.

 

Chamula housing has gone through different stages of transition, from 1990 onwards, it was made of materials such as bricks, blocks and cement. With international migration and the arrival of young Chamula in the United States, changes in the building styles and function of housing are observed, as well as a loss of Chamula-type architectural knowledge, so that traditional architectural knowledge remains only with the elderly. Nowadays, Chamula masons and house builders opt for a foreign architectural design like California, thus changing their cultural identity, their way of life and their relationship with nature.

Screening of xylose utilizing and high lipid producing yeast strains as a potential candidate for industrial application

Linnea Qvirist RICARDO VAZQUEZ JUAREZ Thomas Andlid (2022, [Artículo])

"Background: Sustainable production of oil for food, feed, fuels and other lipid-based chemicals is essential to meet the demand of the increasing human population. Consequently, novel and sustainable resources such as lignocel- lulosic hydrolysates and processes involving these must be explored. In this paper we screened for naturally-occurring xylose utilizing oleaginous yeasts as cell factories for lipid production, since pentose sugar catabolism plays a major role in efcient utilization of lignocellulosic feedstocks. Glycerol utilization, which is also benefcial in yeast-based oil production as glycerol is a common by-product of biodiesel production, was investigated as well. Natural yeast isolates were studied for lipid accumulation on a variety of substrates, and the highest lipid accumulating strains were further investigated in shake fask cultivations and fermenter studies on xylose and hydrolysate. Results: By collecting leaves from exotic plants in greenhouses and selective cultivation on xylose, a high frequency of oleaginous yeasts was obtained (>40%). Diferent cultivation conditions lead to diferences in fatty acid contents and compositions, resulting in a set of strains that can be used to select candidate production strains for diferent purposes. In this study, the most prominent strains were identifed as Pseudozyma hubeiensis BOT-O and Rhodosporidium toruloides BOT-A2. The fatty acid levels per cell dry weight after cultivation in a nitrogen limited medium with either glucose, xylose or glycerol as carbon source, respectively, were 46.8, 43.2 and 38.9% for P. hubeiensis BOT-O, and 40.4, 27.3 and 42.1% for BOT-A2. Furthermore, BOT-A2 accumulated 45.1% fatty acids per cell dry weight in a natural plant hydrolysate, and P. hubeiensis BOT-O showed simultaneous glucose and xylose consumption with similar growth rates on both carbon sources. The fatty acid analysis demonstrated both long chain and poly-unsaturated fatty acids, depending on strain and medium. Conclusions: We found various natural yeast isolates with high lipid production capabilities and the ability to grow not only on glucose, but also xylose, glycerol and natural plant hydrolysate. R. toruloides BOT-A2 and P. hubeiensis BOT-O specifcally showed great potential as production strains with high levels of storage lipids and comparable growth to that on glucose on various other substrates, especially compared to currently used lipid production strains..."

Noteworthy record of the kit fox (Vulpes macrotis) and its relation to physiographic characteristics in Baja California, Mexico

SARAHI SANDOVAL ESPINOZA MARIANA DELGADO FERNANDEZ Jonathan Gabriel Escobar Flores (2017, [Artículo])

"The kit fox (Vulpes macrotis) lives in sandy and shallow soils of the Pacific coastal plains and the ecoregion of San Felipe desert. The reports of this species are scarce and in Mexico it is listed as a threatened species. The populations of V. macrotis tend to decrease due to the change in the habitat to agricultural land, which has been one of the causes of the disappearance of kit fox populations in Mexico. As part of the project “Characterisation of water bodies in Sierra Santa Isabel, Baja California”, 12 camera traps were placed in six watering holes that are visited by wildlife from January to August 2015. Digital terrain elevation models were used to describe three variables: roughness, slope inclination and orientation; these variables are essential for the kit fox to build its burrows, catch its preys and escape from predators. The analyses were also carried out in localities where this carnivore had previously been recorded in Baja California. An analysis of variance was used to determine the existence of similarities or differences between the topographical characteristics of the historical localities and the new record. The first photographic record of the kit fox was obtained in one of the watering holes located within the Valle de los Cirios Flora and Fauna Protection Area. The analyses of variance confirmed that there are no significant differences between roughness (F(4, 780) = 0.11, P > 0.05), slope inclination (F(4, 1275) = 0.319, P > 0.05) and orientation (F(4, 15) = 0.41, P > 0.05), between the historical localities and the site where the new record was obtained. Other carnivores were also recorded in the watering hole, such as the cougar (Puma concolor), bobcat (Lynx rufus), coyote (Canis latrans) and gray fox (Urocyon cinereoargenteus). The presence of the kit fox is likely occasional in the watering hole, because the slopes are greater than 10 degrees and, therefore, these sites are unsuitable for the construction of burrows. However, flat sites with sandy substrates that empty into the Gulf of California occur at a distance of less than 5 km from the watering hole, which are therefore suitable to be inhabited by the kit fox. the analysis of topographic variables of the historical records coupled with camera traps jointly confirmed that the site with the new record has characteristics that are suitable for the kit fox."

"La zorra norteña (Vulpes macrotis) habita en los suelos arenosos y pocos profundos de las planicies costeras del pacifico y de la ecorregión del desierto de San Felipe. Los reportes de esta especie son escasos y en México esta enlistada como una especie amenazada. Las poblaciones de V. macrotis tienden a disminuir por la transformación del hábitat a tierras agrícolas, la cual ha sido una de las causantes de la extirpación de poblaciones de zorra norteña en México. Como parte del proyecto “Caracterización de los cuerpos de agua en Sierra Santa Isabel, Baja California”, se colocaron 12 cámaras trampa en seis aguajes que son visitados por la fauna silvestre de enero a agosto de 2015. Mediante modelos digitales de elevación del terreno se describieron tres variables: rugosidad, pendiente y orientación de las laderas, estas variables son esenciales para que la zorra norteña construya sus madrigueras, capture a sus presas y escape de sus depredadores. Los análisis también se realizaron en localidades que previamente se había registrado a este carnívoro en Baja California. Por medio de un análisis de varianza de una vía se determinó si existen similitudes o diferencias entre las características topográficas de las localidades históricas y el nuevo registro. En uno de los aguajes que se ubica dentro del Área de Protección de Flora y Fauna Valle de los Cirios, se obtuvo el primero registro fotográfico de la zorra norteña. Con los análisis de varianza se confirmó que no hay diferencias significativas entre la rugosidad (F(4, 780) = 0.11, P > 0.05), pendiente (F(4, 1275) = 0.319, P > 0.05) y orientación (F(4, 15) = 0.41, P > 0.05), entre las localidades históricas y el sitio donde se obtuvo el nuevo registro. En el aguaje también se registraron otro carnívoros, como el puma (Puma concolor), gato montés (Lynx rufus), coyote (Canis latrans) y zorra gris (Urocyon cinereoargenteus). La presencia de la zorra norteña posiblemente es ocasional en el aguaje, debido a que las pendientes en el lugar son mayores a 10 grados y por lo tanto estos sitios no son idóneos para la construcción de madrigueras. Sin embargo, a una distancia menor a 5 km del aguaje se encuentran sitios planos con sustratos arenosos que desembocan al Golfo de California, y por lo tanto son idóneos para que la zorra norteña sea residente de esos lugares..."

Modelación numérica de la advección y dispersión de solutos en redes de distribución de agua potable

Felipe Arreguin Velitchko Tzatchkov ALVARO ALBERTO ALDAMA RODRIGUEZ (2000, [Artículo])

Este trabajo presenta una solución numérica de tipo euleriano-lagrangiano para la ecuación de la dispersión advectiva de contaminantes en redes de distribución. La aplicación de los esquemas numéricos conocidos para resolver esta ecuación en una red produce grandes sistemas de ecuaciones lineales debido a la presencia del término que considera la dispersión. Para aliviar este problema se propone un nuevo método que emplea funciones de Green numéricas, desagregando el conjunto de ecuaciones en tres sistemas tridiagonales para cada tubería y otro de menor tamaño para los nodos de la red. De esta forma, el sistema de ecuaciones se resuelve eficientemente y el modelo numérico puede ser aplicado a redes grandes sin necesidad de un esfuerzo computacional excesivo. El modelo propuesto se aplicó para simular el transporte de flúor en una red de distribución real, para la cual se tienen publicados datos de mediciones de campo y de simulación con el paquete EPANET de la Agencia de Protección Ambiental de Estados Unidos (EPA), que sólo considera la advección. La comparación entre los resultados de los dos modelos muestra que el modelo aquí propuesto simula mejor la concentración del contaminante, especialmente en las tuberías que exhiben bajas velocidades del flujo.

Dynamics of Multimodal Families of m-Modal Maps

Javier Salvador González Salas Bahia Betzavet Cassal Quiroga JOSE TUXPAN VARGAS Eric Campos Cantón (2022, [Artículo])

"In this work, we introduce families of multimodal maps based on logistic map, i.e., families of m-modal maps are defined on an interval I C R, which is partitioned into non-uniform subdomains, with m E N. Because the subdomains of the partition are not uniform, each subdomain contains a unimodal map, given by the logistic map, that can have different heights. Therefore, we give the necessary and sufficient conditions for these modal maps present a multimodal family of m-modal maps, i.e., a bifurcation parameter can set a unimodal map, a bimodal map, up to a -modal map. Some numerical examples are given according to the developed theory. Some numerical examples are given in accordance with the developed theory."
