Institutionalization of leftist utopias in Latin America: a case study

Guillem Compte Nunes (2023, [Artículo, Artículo])

Faced with popular dissatisfaction with liberal-capitalist democracy, at the beginning of the 21st century there is a governmental shift to the left in Latin America, in which Mexico is recently participating, with the arrival of the Morena party to power. The social movements that promote these political projects convey leftist utopias that seek to institutionalize themselves in political systems and public policies. However, this process of utopian institutionalization presents tensions and contradictions within the so-called party-movements. In this paper I present a methodological proposal for utopian analysis, which I apply to the “Colectivo La Calle”, a group that is part of the lopezobradorista movement in Mexico. I analyze three utopias mediated by this group and find that indeed the Colectivo is mobilizing against Morena’s pragmatism. This result adds to previous literature, which, given contemporary governmental experiences, questions the ability of the Latin American institutional left to overcome conservative hegemony.

El proceso lluvia-escurrimiento-erosión en laderas y microcuencas instrumentadas

PEDRO RIVERA RUIZ JOSE LUIS OROPEZA MOTA ENRIQUE MEJIA SAENZ LUIS MARIO TAPIA VARGAS EUSEBIO JR. VENTURA RAMOS (2012, [Artículo])

Se evaluó el proceso lluvia-escurrimiento-erosión en diferentes prácticas de manejo con cultivos de escarda y de cobertera en lotes de escurrimiento, así como también en una parcela con cultivo de maíz, establecidos en laderas de suelos andosoles de la cuenca Villa Victoria del Sistema Cutzamala durante 2007. Se presentaron 168 eventos de lluvia de los cuales sólo 14 generaron escurrimiento superficial y erosión del suelo. Los resultados mostraron que en pendientes de 30%, los cultivos de escarda en surcos al contorno tuvieron una eficiencia promedio del 40% para el control de los escurrimientos y la erosión del suelo; por otro lado, en los cultivos de cobertera, su eficiencia fue del 62%.

Análisis de cuatro variables del período de lluvias asociadas al cultivo de maíz temporal

Analysis of four variables associated with rainy seasonal in maize cultivation

MAURO IÑIGUEZ COVARRUBIAS WALDO OJEDA BUSTAMANTE CARLOS DIAZ DELGADO (2013, [Artículo])

Caracterizar y conocer las variables: inicio, duración, terminación de la estación lluviosa y la cantidad de precipitación con fines de precisar su magnitud y relacionarlas con la agricultura bajo condiciones de temporal, es y ha sido una preocupación importante para los agricultores y estudiosos de las ciencias agrícolas. En la región centro norte de México este problema se acentúa por la alta variabilidad de la estación lluviosa y la gran dependencia climática de la agricultura de temporal. La metodología indicada recrea cuatro variables climáticas de la estación lluviosa, analizadas por métodos reconocidos, y con base en un análisis probabilístico se asocian a la agricultura del cultivo del maíz de temporal. El estudio fue realizado para la región ubicada en el sur del estado de Zacatecas, México, sobre la estación climatológica Tlaltenango.

Influence of novel coconut oil and beeswax edible coating and MAP on postharvest shelf life and quality attributes of lemon at low temperature

Mohammad Mainuddin Molla Ashfak Ahmed Sabuz Md Abdul Matin (2023, [Artículo])

Weight loss, turning of peel colour from green to yellow and microbial infections are the major postharvest problems of lemon. Lipid-based edible coatings and modified atmospheric packaging (MAP) are effective techniques in maintaining postharvest quality of fruits for long-term storage. With this view, an investigation was conducted for the preservation of green lemon using coconut oil and beeswax edible coating and MAP during storage at low temperature. Physiologically matured lemons were collected and washed with potable water; fruit surface water was removed and then coated with coconut oil-beeswax (90:10) or only coconut oil. After coating, lemons were packaged in MAP or kept in open crates and stored at 12±1 °C and 85±5% relative humidity (RH) for 8 weeks and a week interval, the sampling was conducted. The results revealed that coconut oil-beeswax coating had immense effect on retaining shiny green colour, reducing respiration, weight loss, shrivelling and preserving firmness and ascorbic acid of lemon throughout the storage. On the other hand, MAP mainly helped to retain moisture & firmness and reduce shrivelling. Uncoated lemons kept open lost the highest amount of ascorbic acid and retained only 13.7 mg/100 g that is significantly (p < 0.05) less than the lemons of all other treatments at 8th week of storage period. While lemons coated with coconut oil-beeswax and packaged in MAP was preserved the highest amount (24.2 mg/100 g) of ascorbic acid and there was no significant difference (p < 0.05) with the amount of ascorbic acid content of lemons coated with only coconut oil and packaged in MAP at the last week (8th week) of storage. Hue angle value was 93.4 in uncoated lemons packaged in MAP while it was 113.67 in coconut oil-beeswax coated lemon kept open and 112.64 in lemon coated with coconut oil-beeswax and packaged in MAP at 8th week of storage. Based on all sensory, physical and chemical parameters uncoated lemons kept open was acceptable up to 1 week, coconut oil-beeswax coated lemon kept open was 6 weeks and coconut oil-beeswax coated lemon packaged in MAP was 8 weeks with good quality and shiny green colour.

Instruments, allies or adversaries: the presence of the media in the legislations of Mexican states

Salvador De-León-Vázquez (2023, [Artículo, Artículo])

In this article, we analyze how the media are conceptualized in the legislation of Mexican states. Our starting point is the consideration that the rights of information and communication are recognized and guaranteed by General Constitution and federal laws, who has been thoroughly examined. However, there are very few studies focusing on state or local laws. The theoretical basis comes from discussions on media development and public communication. The methodology consisted of a cartography and subsequent argumentative analysis of a corpus of media-related articles in Mexican state legislations. The findings reveal three general media conceptualizations in the legal instruments examined: as instruments, as allies or as adversaries. The conclusions discuss the implications for democratic development.

Calidad del agua de un lago urbano en la Ciudad de México (2015-abril 2017)

Ana Cecilia Tomasini Ortiz MERCEDES ESPERANZA RAMIREZ CAMPEROS Lina Cardoso (2017, [Memoria de congreso])

El lago urbano estudiado, está situado al oeste de la Ciudad de México. La problemática de la eutrofización del lago se agudizó y el lago presentó algunas características del estado de hipertrofía por su someridad y circulación limitada, falta de estratificación, regímenes de nutrientes y oxígeno no balanceado y productividad muy alta, tomando como parámetro concentraciones de Clorofila a. Por tal motivo, después de haber monitoreado el lago durante 2015 y hasta marzo de 2015, se adaptó una planta piloto de coagulación-floculación alimentada con agua del mismo lago para el retiro de algas.

Economic valuation of climate induced losses to aquaculture for evaluating climate information services in Bangladesh

Peerzadi Rumana Hossain T.S Amjath-Babu Timothy Joseph Krupnik (2023, [Artículo])

Very little research has focused on climate impacts on aquaculture and the potential of climate information services (CIS) for aquaculture to support sustainable development goals 2030 (SDGs)1. This study represents an effort to bridge this gap by conducting a first ex-ante economic evaluation of CIS for aquaculture in Bangladesh by semi-automating the extraction of data on climate-induced fish losses during 2011 to 2021 from popular online newspaper articles and corroborating them with available government and satellite datasets. During this period, Bangladesh faced an estimated loss of around 140 million USD for hatcheries, open water fish and shrimp. When validated with a year of country-wide official data on climate-induced economic losses to aquaculture, the damage reported from these media sources is approximately 10 percent of actual losses. Given this rule of thumb, the potential economic value of aquacultural CIS could be up to USD14 million a year, if 10 percent of the damage can be offset by appropriate services through a range of multi-sector efforts to establish and extend these services to farmers at scale.
