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.

LUCHAS EN DEFENSA DE LA VIDA. CRIMINALIZACIÓN COMO ESTRATEGIA NECROPOLÍTICA EN CONTRA DE LAS Y LOS LIDERES SOCIALES DEL CONGRESO DE LOS PUEBLOS

Julián Andrés Gil Reyes (2023, [Tesis de maestría])

"Este trabajo tiene como objetivo principal analizar los procesos de criminalización desarrollados contra un líder y una lideresa social del congreso de los pueblos de las regiones de Arauca y sur de Bolívar durante el periodo 2015-2022, buscando comprender las estrategias necropolítica de criminalización y judicialización que han vivido y las duras amenazas que actualmente enfrentan contra sus vidas. Esta tesis es entonces un esfuerzo por narrar la realidad de las y los líderes sociales en Colombia desde su propia voz, un tema que ha sido poco explorado desde los espacios académicos, dados los altos riesgos para la vida que representa la denuncia o investigación de estos temas. Sin embargo, es imperativo ético, académico y político aportar estas reflexiones que pueden ser significativas para los movimientos sociales de Colombia y otros lugares que padecen situaciones similares, así mismo ubica una pieza más en el puente entre la academia y los movimientos sociales".

In recent years the foreign direct investment flow (FDI) have increased more than world production, making it a necessary instrument for economic growth in developing countries. Mexico, since 1980, have established mechanisms through public policies for attracting FDI, however there are other variables that determine the arrival of foreign investment to the country. For this reason, the objective of this research is to know whether the government incentives, infrastructure, technology, human capital and insecurity encourage the arrival of foreign direct investment to the country, taking as sample the states of Aguascalientes, Guanajuato and Queretaro. The selection of the states was based on the rapid growth of FDI inflows they perceived from 2000 to 2013. The research used panel data econometric models to see if there is a relationship between variables, various tests were applied to select the appropriate estimation methods. The main conclusion of this research was to discover that two variables, government incentives and insecurity, were those that were having an impact on attracting FDI to these states. In addition econometrically they discarded the remaining variables, human capital, technology and infrastructure, since they have no significance in this model.

En los últimos años los flujos de inversión extranjera directa (IED) han aumentado más que la producción mundial, convirtiéndola en un instrumento necesario para el crecimiento económico de los países en desarrollo. En México a partir de 1980 se han establecido mecanismos, por medio de políticas públicas, para la atracción de IED, sin embargo existen otras variables que determinan la llegada de inversión extranjera al país. Por esta razón, el objetivo de esta investigación es conocer si los incentivos gubernamentales, la infraestructura, la tecnología, el capital humano y la inseguridad fomentan la llegada de inversión extranjera directa al país, tomando como muestra los estados de Aguascalientes, Guanajuato y Querétaro. La selección de los estados se basó en el acelerado crecimiento de recepción de IED que percibieron del año 2000 al 2013. La investigación utilizó modelos econométricos de datos panel para comprobar si existe una relación entre las variables, se aplican diversas pruebas para seleccionar los métodos de estimación adecuados. Las principales conclusiones de esta investigación fue descubrir que dos variables , incentivos gubernamentales e inseguridad, eran las que estaban teniendo un impacto en la atracción de IED a dichos estados. Además se descartan econométricamente las variables restantes, capital humano, tecnología e infraestructura, ya que no tienen una significancia en este modelo.

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.

Inferring cetacean population densities from the absolute dynamic topography of the ocean in a hierarchical bayesian framework

MARIO ANDRES PARDO RUEDA (2015, [Artículo])

We inferred the population densities of blue whales (Balaenoptera musculus) and short-beaked common dolphins (Delphinus delphis) in the Northeast Pacific Ocean as functions of the water-column's physical structure by implementing hierarchical models in a Bayesian framework. This approach allowed us to propagate the uncertainty of the field observations into the inference of species-habitat relationships and to generate spatially explicit population density predictions with reduced effects of sampling heterogeneity. Our hypothesis was that the large-scale spatial distributions of these two cetacean species respond primarily to ecological processes resulting from shoaling and outcropping of the pycnocline in regions of wind-forced upwelling and eddy-like circulation. Physically, these processes affect the thermodynamic balance of the water column, decreasing its volume and thus the height of the absolute dynamic topography (ADT). Biologically, they lead to elevated primary productivity and persistent aggregation of low-trophic-level prey. Unlike other remotely sensed variables, ADT provides information about the structure of the entire water column and it is also routinely measured at high spatial-temporal resolution by satellite altimeters with uniform global coverage. Our models provide spatially explicit population density predictions for both species, even in areas where the pycnocline shoals but does not outcrop (e. g. the Costa Rica Dome and the North Equatorial Countercurrent thermocline ridge). Interannual variations in distribution during El Niño anomalies suggest that the population density of both species decreases dramatically in the Equatorial Cold Tongue and the Costa Rica Dome, and that their distributions retract to particular areas that remain productive, such as the more oceanic waters in the central California Current System, the northern Gulf of California, the North Equatorial Countercurrent thermocline ridge, and the more southern portion of the Humboldt Current System. We posit that such reductions in available foraging habitats during climatic disturbances could incur high energetic costs on these populations, ultimately affecting individual fitness and survival. © 2015, public library of science.

Vibrissa growth rate in California sea lions based on environmental and isotopic oscillations

MARTHA PATRICIA ROSAS HERNANDEZ (2018, [Artículo])

Pinniped vibrissae provide information on changes in diet at seasonal and annual scales; however, species-specific growth patterns must first be determined in order to interpret these data. In this study, a simple linear model was used to estimate the growth rate of vibrissae from adult female California sea lions (Zalophus californianus) from San Esteban Island in the Gulf of California, Mexico. The δ15N and δ13C values do not display a marked oscillatory pattern that would permit direct determination of the time period contained in each vibrissa; thus, time (age) was calculated in two ways: 1) based on the correlation between the observed number of peaks (Fourier series) in the δ15N profile and the length of each vibrissa, and 2) through direct comparison with the observed number of peaks in the δ15N profile. Cross-correlation confirmed that the two peaks in the δ15N profile reflected the two peaks in the chlorophyll-a concentration recorded annually around the island. The mean growth rate obtained from the correlation was 0.08 ± 0.01 mm d-1, while that calculated based on the observed number of peaks was 0.10 ± 0.05 mm d-1. Both are consistent with the rates reported for adult females of other otariid species (0.07 to 0.11 mm d-1). Vibrissa growth rates vary by individual, age, sex, and species; moreover, small differences in the growth rate can result in significant differences over the time periods represented by the isotopic signal. Thus, it is important to assess this parameter on a species-by-species basis. © 2018 Rosas-Hernández et al.

Desde su arribo a las islas, Colón estaba convencido de estar en las cercanías de Cipango, nada parecía convencerlo de lo contrario; todo lo que observa lo interpreta desde su convicción de estar en Asia. En el primer apartado de este capítulo se intentará demostrar tomando como referencia los escritos del propio Cristóbal Colón que éste consultó cartas de navegación, esferas e incluso tenía la firme intención de realizar una carta de navegación con el fin de mostrar la ubicación de Cipango. El segundo apartado refiere al hecho de que la única fuente documental sobre Cipango de la cual se tenía noticia dependía exclusivamente de narraciones de Marco Polo y se debatirá si Colón conoció o no dichos relatos.
