Economic inequality and the impact of cash transfers in the state of Veracruz, México, 2008 to 2020

José Alejandro Pérez-Nájera Rogelio Javier Rendón Hernández (2023, [Artículo, Artículo])

Income inequality in Mexico is extremely high and the federal states are considerably heterogeneous, which is why a regional analysis allows us to identify the fundamental characteristics, trends, and regional conditions for the implementation of redistributive policies.  We used microdata from the National Household Income and Expenditure Survey (ENIGH) to analyze the evolution of income inequality in the state of Veracruz during the 2008-2020 period; To identify its sources and investigate how it was affected by monetary transfers, the income decomposition method is used to identify the ENIGH income sources and investigate preliminary COVID-19 effects. The results show evidence of a decrease in inequality in the period; relatively and marginally, it is identified that the observed decrease can be attributed to cash transfers. In recent years, transfers represented 30% of the income of the lowest deciles (I, II, and III) and the income elasticity of the Gini coefficient indicates that their increase represents a decrease in inequality.

Biofiltración anaerobia de efluentes químico-farmacéuticos

Petia Mijaylova Nacheva FERNANDA MORALES GUZMAN MERCEDES ESPERANZA RAMIREZ CAMPEROS (1996, [Memoria de congreso])

Se han realizado estudios de factibilidad técnica para tratar efluentes químico-farmacéuticos por el método de biofiltración anaerobia utilizando como soporte la biomasa carbón activado granular y arena. El agua residual problema es de alta carga orgánica, hasta 30 g/l, y contiene xenobióticos tóxicos y refractarios. El potencial del proceso fue estudiado en una instalación experimental, constituída por tres columnas con sistema de calentamiento, alimentación, recirculación, colección del efluente y del biogás. Los biofiltros se inocularon, se desarrolló la biomasa y se evalúo la eficiencia del proceso a diferentes cargas orgánicas. Los reactores se operaban en condiciones mesofílicas. La biofiltración anaerobia con carbón activado granular como medio de soporte, adicionando nutrientes y aplicando una carga orgánica de hasta 1.05 kg DQO/m3/d permite obtener una eficiencia de remoción de DQO de 82-90 por ciento. El biofiltro con arena en las mismas condiciones de operación alcanza una eficiencia de remoción de 78 por ciento. Si adición de nutrientes con una carga de 1.24 kg DQO/m3/d se puede alcanzar una eficiencia de remoción de 85 por ciento en los biofiltros con CAG. El biofiltro con arena no soporta cargas mayores de 1.05 kg DQO/m3/d

Alternative cropping and feeding options to enhance sustainability of mixed crop-livestock farms in Bangladesh

Timothy Joseph Krupnik Jeroen Groot (2024, [Artículo])

We investigated alternative cropping and feeding options for large (>10 cows), medium (5–10 cows) and small (≤4 cows) mixed crop – livestock farm types, to enhance economic and environmental performance in Jhenaidha and Meherpur districts – locations with increasing dairy production – in south western Bangladesh. Following focus group discussions with farmers on constraints and opportunities, we collected baseline data from one representative farm from each farm size class per district (six in total) to parameterize the whole-farm model FarmDESIGN. The six modelled farms were subjected to Pareto-based multi-objective (differential evolution algorithm) optimization to generate alternative dairy farm and fodder configurations. The objectives were to maximize farm profit, soil organic matter balance, and feed self-reliance, in addition to minimizing feed costs and soil nitrogen losses as indicators of sustainability. The cropped areas of the six baseline farms ranged from 0.6 to 4.0 ha and milk production per cow was between 1,640 and 3,560 kg year−1. Feed self-reliance was low (17%–57%) and soil N losses were high (74–342 kg ha−1 year−1). Subsequent trade-off analysis showed that increasing profit and soil organic matter balance was associated with higher risks of N losses. However, we found opportunities to improve economic and environmental performance simultaneously. Feed self-reliance could be increased by intensifying cropping and substituting fallow periods with appropriate fodder crops. For the farm type with the largest opportunity space and room to manoeuvre, we identified four strategies. Three strategies could be economically and environmentally benign, showing different opportunities for farm development with locally available resources.

Los medicamentos no son dulces: empleo de glucocorticoides para enfermedades crónicas.

ADRIANA ALEJANDRA MOCTEZUMA OCAMPO JOSE LUIS MONTIEL HERNANDEZ (2024, [Artículo])

Los glucocorticoides se han constituido como medicamentos clave en el tratamiento farmacológico de enfermedades crónicas asociadas a la inflamación. Sin embargo, a pesar de su indudable beneficio, su empleo prolongado y sin supervisión pue-de generar una serie de efectos adversos, que van desde leves hasta severos. Es por eso que, en momentos de crisis como la pandemia de covid-19, el uso responsable de estos medicamentos debería iniciar con evitar prácticas comunes en nuestro país, como la automedicación y la confianza en productos milagro, ya que pueden poner en riesgo la salud de la población en general.

Glucocorticoids have become one of the key drugs during the pharmacological treatment of inflammatory chronic diseases. However, despite its undoubted benefit, its prolonged and unsupervised use can generate a series of adverse effects, ranging from mild to severe. In moments of crisis, such as the covid-19 pandemic, it shows us that practices so widespread in our country such as self-medication and the use of miracle products can put the health of the general population at risk.

Analyzing antifragility among smallholder farmers in Bihar, India: An assessment of farmers' vulnerability and the strengths of positive deviants

Roos Adelhart Toorop Santiago Lopez-Ridaura ML JAT Deepak Bijarniya Jeroen Groot (2023, [Artículo])

Farmers around the world are increasingly vulnerable: climate variability is identified as the primary stressor, but unfavorable biophysical circumstances and disturbances in the socioeconomic domain (labor dynamics and price volatility) also affect farm management and production. To deal with these disturbances, adaptations are recognized as essential. Antifragility acknowledges that adaptations and volatility are inherent characteristics of complex systems and abandons the idea of returning to the pre-disturbance system state. Instead, antifragility recognizes that disturbances can trigger reorganization, enabling selection and removal of weaker system features and allowing the system to evolve toward a better state. In this study, we assessed the vulnerability of different types of smallholder farms in Bihar, India, and explored the scope for more antifragile farming systems that can 'bounce back better' after disturbances. Accumulation of stocks, creation of optionality (i.e., having multiple options for innovation) and strengthening of farmer autonomy were identified as criteria for antifragility. We had focus group discussions with in total 92 farmers and found that most expressed themselves to be vulnerable: they experienced challenges but had limited adaptive capacity to change their situation. They mostly made short-term decisions to cope with or mitigate urgent challenges but did not engage in strategic planning driven by longer-term objectives. Instead, they waited for governmental support to improve their livelihoods. Despite being confronted with similar challenges, four positive deviant farmers showed to be more antifragile: their diverse farming systems were abundant in stocks and optionality, and the farmers were distinguished in terms of their autonomy, competence, and connectedness to peers, the community, and markets. To support antifragility among regular farmers, adaptations at policy level may be required, for example, by shifting from a top-down toward a bottom-up adaptation and innovation regime where initiative and cooperation are encouraged. With a more autonomous orientation, farmers' intrinsic motivation is expected to increase, enabling transitions at the farm level. In this way, connected systems can be developed which are socioeconomically and biophysically adaptive. When practices, knowledge, and skills are continuously developed, an antifragile system with ample stocks and optionality may evolve over time.

Necessity as a driver in bending agricultural gender norms in the Eastern Gangetic Plains of South Asia

Pragya Timsina Emma Karki Brendan Brown (2023, [Artículo])

The majority of the farmers in the rural Global South continue to depend directly or indirectly on agriculture for their livelihoods. Despite the fact that women account for almost half of the world's farmers, they face gender-specific challenges such as deeply rooted cultural and social norms that limit their access to land, assets, financial markets, agricultural training, and information. Using semi-structured interviews with farmers in the Eastern Gangetic Plains, this study investigates how necessity is becoming one of the major drivers in the bending of agricultural gender norms. The study investigates the connections between feminist political ecology and agricultural technology production frameworks in order to comprehend the implications of technology adoption and influences on gender norms in communities. Women's participation in agriculture was found to be heavily influenced by social and cultural barriers, and they were frequently subjected to social criticism for breaking the systemic gender norms. This paper emphasizes on the growing pattern of bending gender norms with recommendations for increasing women's participation and scope in future agriculture development initiatives through policies and interventions that emphasize gender equity.

Caracterización de un sistema constructivo de bajo impacto ambiental para viviendas destinadas a poblaciones vulnerables

Alma Luisa (2022, [Tesis de maestría])

418 páginas. Maestría en Diseño Bioclimático.

Este trabajo tiene como objetivo mostrar los beneficios y la decisión de elegir un Sistema Constructivo de Bajo Impacto Ambiental para Viviendas destinadas a Poblaciones Vulnerables, como primera opción en las construcciones de viviendas, hablando de manera general en México. De manera particular este trabajo se desarrolló en el caso de estudio específico, en la Alcaldía Xochimilco, en el pueblo de Santa Cruz Acalpixca, en donde se realizaron diversos estudios de la tierra más adecuada, al igual que diversos tipos de test, para conocer las propiedades de la tierra y así poder desarrollar con este estudio de investigación de los elementos el proceso de construcción de una Vivienda de 67.24 m₂, la cual se está planeando efectuar. A su vez se realizaron los estudios pertinentes, los cuales muestran que la vivienda es segura y está garantizada su habitabilidad, para ejecutar la construcción de este proyecto. Durante los proyectos de construcción de Sistemas Constructivos convencionales, se realizan grandes procesos de inversión en la obtención de los materiales que proporcionen las características necesarias de resistencia y soporte para las estructuras de la edificación. A su vez la obtención de estos materiales, es la actividad que puede generar mayor cantidad de impactos adversos al ambiente y a la calidad de vida de las personas. Por ello uno de los principios de la construcción sostenible es la implementación de materiales amigables con el ambiente, con larga vida útil y que para su manipulación se requiere un consumo de energía menor que lo necesario para el manejo de los materiales convencionales. Derivado de este documento tenemos como primicia, la contribución de los beneficios de la construcción sostenible, comparados con la construcción tradicional que se ha venido implementando en la sociedad actual. El presente documento se enfocará en la selección del Sistema constructivo con sus materiales y los costos relacionados al hacer uso de ellos, los impactos ocasionados en cada una de las etapas del proyecto y el costo-beneficio que genera la construcción tradicional y la aplicación de la sostenibilidad en la misma.

This work aims to present the benefits and the decision to choose a Low Environmental Impact Construction System for Housing for Vulnerable Populations, as the first option in housing construction, generally speaking in Mexico. In particular, this work was developed in the specific case study, in the Xochimilco Mayor's Office, in the town of Santa Cruz Acalpixca, where various studies of the most suitable land were carried out, as well as various types of tests, to know the properties of the land and thus be able to develop with this research study of the elements the construction process of a House of 67.24 m₂, which is being planned. At the same time, the pertinent studies were carried out, which show that the house is safe and its habitability is guaranteed, to execute the construction of this project. During the construction projects of conventional Construction Systems, large investment processes are made in obtaining the materials that provide the necessary characteristics of resistance and support for the building structures. In turn, obtaining these materials is the activity that can generate the greatest number of adverse impacts on the environment and on people's quality of life. For this reason, one of the principles of sustainable construction is the implementation of environmentally friendly materials, with a long useful life and that require less energy consumption for their handling than is necessary for the handling of conventional materials. Derived from this document we have as a first, the contribution of the benefits of sustainable construction, compared to traditional construction that has been implemented in today's society. This document will focus on the selection of the construction system with its materials and the costs related to making use of them, the impacts caused in each of the stages of the project and the cost-benefit generated by traditional construction and the application of technology. sustainability in it.
