Evaluación de indicadores de vulnerabilidad para localizar áreas de sedimentos en tres subcuencas de Chiapas, México

Vulnerability indicators assessment to locate areas of sediments in three sub-basins of Chiapas, Mexico

CERVANDO CASTILLO ROMANO Jorge Enrique Brena Zepeda Perla Edith Alonso Eguía Lis Ana Wagner (2014, [Memoria de congreso])

Para cuantificar la alternación ecológica en las subcuencias se consideraron los siguientes indicadores: cambio de cobertura vegetal y uso de suelo; número de poblaciones y densidad de población; erosión potencial; cambios provocados por la acción humana en la hidrografía; evaluación de la condición de la vegetación riparia; calidad del sistema acuático a partir de bioindicadores; condición de la fauna y; sedimentación en zona de humedales. Los resultados del estudio muestran que la sedimentación en la zona de humedales en las tres subcuencas presenta la máxima alteración de acuerdo con la escala utilizada, lo que indica una alta depositación de sedimentos en los humedales producto del deterioro ecológico. En general la parte alta, media y baja presentan un deterioro moderado, y en menor proporción se observan zonas con alto deterioro.

Ciudad Juarez from historical sketch of national migration policies

Luis Fernando Noyola Rojas Luis Manuel Lara Rodríguez (2023, [Artículo, Artículo])

The context of migration in the Mexican case and its migration policies are analyzed here, taking the case of Ciudad Juarez as a node of movement and link of said policies; for this, the work is divided into four sections. A historical review of the way of how migration policies, through programs operated by different institutions and spheres of government, have worked through the manifestations of the domestic and international Mexican migration it is proposed. It also serves to contextualize and to understand how they are created and why the objectives they intend to meet are more orientated to immediate problems rather to recognize the complexity of migratory problems, in need of specific policies.

Enhancement of antibiotics antimicrobial activity due to the silver nanoparticles impact on the cell membrane

Roberto Vazquez-Munoz (2019, [Artículo])

The ability of microorganisms to generate resistance outcompetes with the generation of new and efficient antibiotics; therefore, it is critical to develop novel antibiotic agents and treatments to control bacterial infections. An alternative to this worldwide problem is the use of nanomaterials with antimicrobial properties. Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) have been extensively studied due to their antimicrobial effect in different organisms. In this work, the synergistic antimicrobial effect of AgNPs and conventional antibiotics was assessed in Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. AgNPs minimal inhibitory concentration was 10–12 μg mL-1 in all bacterial strains tested, regardless of their different susceptibility against antibiotics. Interestingly, a synergistic antimicrobial effect was observed when combining AgNPs and kanamycin according to the fractional inhibitory concentration index, FICI: <0.5), an additive effect by combining AgNPs and chloramphenicol (FICI: 0.5 to 1), whereas no effect was found with AgNPs and β-lactam antibiotics combinations. Flow cytometry and TEM analysis showed that sublethal concentrations of AgNPs (6–7 μg mL-1) altered the bacterial membrane potential and caused ultrastructural damage, increasing the cell membrane permeability. No chemical interactions between AgNPs and antibiotics were detected. We propose an experimental supported mechanism of action by which combinatorial effect of antimicrobials drives synergy depending on their specific target, facilitated by membrane alterations generated by AgNPs. Our results provide a deeper understanding about the synergistic mechanism of AgNPs and antibiotics, aiming to combat antimicrobial infections efficiently, especially those by multi-drug resistant microorganisms, in order to mitigate the current crisis due to antibiotic resistance. © 2019 Vazquez-Muñoz et al.
