Ubicación y caracterización de zonas de peligro de inundación por marea de tormenta en las costas de México

SAUL MIRANDA ALONSO (2008, [Documento de trabajo])

El propósito general de este proyecto es identificar y caracterizar las zonas costeras de México en peligro de inundación por marea de tormenta. En particular, determinar un conjunto de envolventes de trayectorias ciclónicas históricas y sintéticas producidas con modelación numérica, para implementar y calibrar un sistema que reproduzca escenarios probables de inundación costera; así como determinar periodos de retorno versus cota de inundación, además de elaborar el análisis de vulnerabilidad/peligrosidad y análisis extremo para las zonas identificadas. Para estudiar lo anterior, se generarán líneas de inundación a gran escala para todo el litoral mexicano, asociadas a diferentes periodos de retorno.

Valor de uso y política. Bolívar Echeverría y la crítica marxista a lo político

SIMON ISHAN BENITEZ DRUENNE (2019, [Tesis de maestría])

La tesis busca trabajar sobre el concepto de política a partir de las aportaciones hechas al respecto por el profesor emérito de la Universidad Autónoma de México Bolívar Echeverría Andrade. Partiendo de los elementos que consideramos constituyen su crítica a lo político en la modernidad capitalista, el trabajo empieza por explorar las condiciones de necesidad para la existencia del fenómeno político en relación con la definición del ser del hombre desde el materialismo histórico y el existencialismo sartreano. En la segunda parte se profundiza en la crítica echeverríana a lo político a partir del análisis de las consecuencias que la actualización moderno capitalista tiene sobre el ejercicio de la autarquía humana y el trabajo útil.

Local markets and food security. The case of the Milpera and Puuc regions in Yucatan

Ana Laura Bojórquez Carrillo Monserrat Vargas Jiménez Mireya Noemi Hernández Islas (2023, [Artículo, Artículo])

Food insecurity is a complex problem worldwide. A major part of this problem is the food supply. Local markets can represent a strategy for building social capital, as well as strategies for subsistence and sustainability of food value chains, contributing to food security and its effects. The objective of this research is to determine if the existence of a municipal market in the Milpera and Puuc regions of Yucatán favors the existence of food security, the consumption or the expense of natural foods. The population is located in 18 municipalities of Yucatán, Mexico. To carry out this study, a cross-sectional, non-experimental study, with a quantitative approach and correlational scope. The main techniques that were applied were descriptive statistics and contingency tables with respect to 6 hypotheses. This work shows that the existence of markets in the communities makes a significant difference because it positively impacts the food security of the inhabitants, since it allows them to have access to a wider variety of products and at the same time, favors the active dynamics of the economy of the community.

Caracterización fisicoquímica de suelo y agua para evaluar la salinidad en el acuífero La Misión, Baja California, México

Physicochemical characterization of soil and water to evaluate salinity in La Misión aquifer, Baja California, Mexico

Vanessa Inés González Riaño (2023, [Tesis de maestría])

El agua subterránea se considera uno de los recursos más importantes a nivel mundial en los sectores de agua potable y agricultura, sobre todo en regiones áridas y semiáridas donde no solo hay menos precipitación sino una elevada evaporación que podría afectar la salinización del suelo y el agua debido a su estrecha relación. El trabajo tiene como objetivo evaluar el tipo de salinidad en el acuífero La Misión, Baja California, a partir del análisis fisicoquímico de suelo y agua subterránea bajo la hipótesis de que existe una relación en la presencia de fases minerales salinas del suelo y las concentraciones de sales en el agua del acuífero. Para ello, se recolectaron y caracterizaron fisicoquímicamente 19 muestras de suelo y agua subterránea en temporada de estiaje (2022) y lluvias (2023) utilizando estadísticas multivariadas y análisis hidrogeoquímicos. Además, se analizaron las fases minerales presentes en el suelo con Difracción de Rayos X (DRX). Los resultados mostraron que el contenido de sólidos disueltos totales en el agua disminuye conforme los sitios se alejan de la línea de costa. De manera general y considerando la composición química de las aguas, éstas se clasifican como ligeramente salinas con pH entre 5.5 y 8.3, y temperaturas entre 15 y 40 °C. Los diagramas de Piper y Chadha mostraron que predominan dos tipos de facies hidroquímicas en el acuífero: Ca-Mg-SO4/Cl y Na-Cl y el diagrama de Gibbs muestra que prevalecen los procesos por meteorización de las rocas y evaporación (500% mayor que la precipitación media anual). De acuerdo con la conductividad eléctrica, pH, porcentaje de sodio intercambiable y la relación de adsorción de sodio en el agua, los suelos superficiales del acuífero en su totalidad son suelos no salinos y no sódicos, además, el análisis de DRX no detectó fases minerales salinas en el suelo. Finalmente, se encontró que la actividad agrícola, el uso de fertilizantes, el hidrotermalismo, la evaporación y la geología podrían estar causando la salinidad del agua subterránea en el área de estudio.

Groundwater is considered one of the most important resources of drinking water worldwide as well as the agriculture sectors, especially in arid and semi-arid regions. Where there is not only less precipitation but also high evaporation rates that could affect soil and water salinization due to their close relationship. The objective of this work is to evaluate the type of salinity in La Misión aquifer, Baja California, based on the physicochemical analysis of soil and groundwater. Under the hypothesis that there is a relationship between the presence of saline mineral phases in the soil and the concentrations of salts in the aquifer’s water. For this purpose, 19 soil and groundwater samples were collected and physicochemically characterized during the dry season (2022) and rainy season (2023) using multivariate statistics and hydrogeochemical analysis. In addition, the mineral phases present in the soil were analyzed with X-Ray Diffraction (XRD). The results showed that the content of total dissolved solids in the water decreases as the sites are farer from the coastline. In general, and considering the chemical composition of the waters, they are classified as slightly saline with pH between 5.5 and 8.3, and temperatures between 15 and 40 °C. The Piper and Chadha diagrams showed that two types of hydrochemical facies predominate in the aquifer: Ca-Mg-SO4/Cl and Na-Cl. The Gibbs diagram shows that rock weathering and evaporation processes prevail (500% greater than average annual precipitation). According to the electrical conductivity, pH, percentage of exchangeable sodium and the sodium adsorption ratio in water, the surface soils of the aquifer as a whole are non-saline and non-sodic soils. The XRD analysis did not detect saline mineral phases in the soil. Finally, it was found that agricultural activity, fertilizer use, hydrothermalism, evaporation and geology could be causing groundwater salinity in the study area.

Value chain research and development: The quest for impact

Jason Donovan (2023, [Artículo])

Motivation: For decades, governments, donors, and practitioners have promoted market-based development approaches (MBDA), most recently in the form of value chain development (VCD), to spur economic growth and reduce poverty. Changes in approaches have been shaped by funders, practitioners and researchers in ways that are incompletely appreciated. Purpose: We address the following questions: (1) how have researchers and practitioners shaped discussions on MBDA?; and (2) how has research stimulated practice, and how has practice informed research? We hypothesize that stronger exchange between researchers and practitioners increases the relevance and impact of value chain research and development. Methods and approach: We adopt Downs' (1972) concept of issue-attention cycles, which posits that attention to a particular issue follows a pattern where, first, excitement builds over potential solutions; followed by disenchantment as the inherent complexity, trade-offs, and resources required to solve it become apparent; and consequently attention moves on to a new issue. We review the literature on MBDA to see how far this framing applies. Findings: We identify five cycles of approaches to market-based development over the last 40 or more years: (1) non-traditional agricultural exports; (2) small and medium enterprise development; (3) value chains with a globalization perspective; (4) value chains with an agri-business perspective; and (5) value chain development. The shaping and sequencing of these cycles reflect researchers' tendency to analyse and criticize MBDA, while providing limited guidance on workable improvements; practitioners' reluctance to engage in critical reflection on their programmes; and an institutional and funding environment that encourages new approaches. Policy implications: Future MBDA will benefit from stronger engagement between researchers, practitioners, and funders. Before shifting attention to new concepts and approaches, achievements and failures in previous cycles need to be scrutinized. Evidence-based practice should extend for the length of the issue-attention cycle; preferably it should arrest the cycling of attention. Funders can help by requiring grantees to critically reflect on past action, by providing “safe spaces” for sharing such reflections, and by engaging in joint learning with practitioners and researchers.
