"Chili peppers are among the most important vegetables in the world. The demand of this fruit reveals a noticeable rapid increasing, which importance is mainly due to its nutraceutical composition. These fruits are rich in capsaicinoids, phenolic compounds, carotenoids, and others, including vitamins. In this study, a comparative evaluation between two extraction methods of bioactive compounds of fourteen chili pepper cultivars was performed. Two extraction methods for antioxidants, the time-solvent and the ultrasound were evaluated. The design of the experiment was completely randomized with three repetitions where variables evaluated were total phenolic compounds, flavonoids content, antioxidant capacity and capsaicin. Results showed that the phenolic compounds oscillated between 48.7 - 634.1 mg GAE/100 g dry weight (DW), the flavonoids content varied from 1 - 97 mg QE/100 g DW, the antioxidant activity from 65 - 348 µmol Trolox/g DW and the capsaicin content oscillated from 0.3 - 922 mg/100 g DW. The extraction method with higher values of bioactive compounds for each of the chili pepper types was the ultrasound for all the measured variables."

There is speculation about moon phases influencing animal reproductive performance. A study was carried out to shed light on the influence of moon phases on estrus presentation, pregnancy rate, calving presentation, and offspring sex in cows from the Mexican dry tropical region. The reproductive data of 580 crossbred cows from 2010 to 2021 was organized according to reproductive events (estrus presentation, gestation, calving presentation, and offspring sex) occurrence during moon phases (new moon, first quarter, full moon, and last quarter). The data were analyzed by Chi-squared test and logistic regression. The full moon reduced the estrus presentation (p0.05). It is concluded that the full moon reduces estrus presentation in crossbred cows. Moon phases do not influence the gestation, calving presentation, and offspring sex.

In this text, the reader will find a study about public participation of women in the national discussion context, that occurred in the first two decades of the twentieth century in Chile. To get the objective we have chosen two hemerography sources self-styled "women's magazines": the workers paper La Alborada (1905-1907) and the publication of elite La Revista Azul (1914-1918), to approach the discources doomed to 'question feminine', construction of gender identities and processes of significance of women in the framework of the named readjusted of national identities, as a cultural practice. The text has been divided in three chapters. The first look for the study of the relationships found in the 'official'. The second chapter is about the female press production and identity marks that defined the public women affairs. Finally, the third chapter will focus on the discursive representations found in these two cases, by three analytical categories that allow us to understand the mechanisms of participation of women in the nation: instruction, moralizing and motherhood.

En el presente texto, el lector podrá encontrar un estudio sobre la participación pública de las mujeres en el marco de la discusión sobre 'lo nacional', acaecido en las primeras dos décadas del siglo XX en Chile . Para esto, se han escogido dos fuentes hemerográficas autodenominadas como "prensa femenina": el periódico obrero La Alborada (1905-1907) y la publicación de élite La Revista Azul (1914-1918), con el objetivo de abordar los discursos abocados a la 'cuestión femenina', la construcción de identidades de género y los procesos de significación de las mujeres en el marco de la denominada readecuación de las identidades nacionales, todo esto, como una práctica cultural. Así, el texto ha sido estructurado en tres capítulos. El primero busca revisar el contexto de estudio y las relaciones establecidas entre los discursos analizados con el 'oficial'. El segundo capítulo está orientado a la producción de la prensa femenina y las marcas identitarias que definieron el quehacer público de las mujeres. Finalmente, el tercer capítulo se abocará a las representaciones discursivas encontradas en estos dos casos, por medio de tres categorías analíticas que permiten comprender los mecanismos de participación de las mujeres en la nación: la instrucción, la moralización y la maternidad.

Dynamic simulation of diploid vs. triploid Pacific oyster (Crassostrea gigas) productive performance in northwestern Mexico

ROBERTO ASCENCIO MICHEL Ana María Ibarra Humphries MARCELO EDUARDO ARANEDA PADILLA GERMAN PONCE DIAZ FRANCISCO JAVIER VERGARA SOLANA (2022, [Artículo])

"The Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas was introduced in northwestern Mexico for aquaculture purposes. Although its cultivation has been successful, this species has shown high mortalities during summer. To mitigate this problem, producers have resorted to biotechnology (triploidy), whose performance -regarding diploid seedling- depends on site conditions and stocking time. Hence, uncertainty exists on its benefits under real production conditions. This research evaluates triploidy performance by implementing a Dynamic simulation model considering environmental effects (temperature and chlorophyll) on culture production. The dynamic simulation was based on systems theory, dividing the productive system into two sub-models (environmental and biological), including temperature and chlorophyll effects, growth, mortality, and condition index parameterized in the function of the environmental parameters. The dynamic simulation results suggest that implementing triploid culture is advantageous in zones under high stress associated with high temperatura and low productivity; likewise, triploid spat tends to show better performance independently of the site. Nevertheless, performance by ploidy varies depending on the environmental conditions of the sites."

"Se estimó el factor de condición (K), el índice gonadosomático (IGS), hepatosomático (IHS) y de grasa visceral (IGV), así como la composición bioquímica en diferentes tejidos de reproductores silvestres de cabrilla sardinera, Mycteroperca rosacea, para evaluarlos a lo largo de un ciclo reproductivo y ver la relación que presentan los cambios con respecto a la temperatura del agua y fotoperiodo de la zona de muestreo. Se capturaron 187 reproductores, 146 hembras y 41 machos en el golfo de California, México. Se observaron diferencias significativas (P < 0,005) en los IGS, IHS e IGV; en el caso de K no se encontraron diferencias. También, se observaron variaciones significativas (P < 0,05) en la mayoría de los parámetros bioquímicos, encontrándose los valores más altos durante la etapa de desove, mientras que los más bajos durante la etapa de reposo. Todos los índices estimados y los parámetros bioquímicos determinados, se correlacionaron significativamente (P < 0,05) con el fotoperiodo, mientras que solo se encontraron correlaciones significativas (P < 0,05) entre el IGS e IGV con respecto a la temperatura del agua."

"Condition factor (K), gonadosomatic index, (IGS), hepatosomatic index (IHS) and fat visceral index (IGV) were estimated and the biochemical composition in different tissues of wild leopard grouper broodstock was determinate too, in order to evaluate them along a reproductive cycle and see the relationship of these changes with respect to the water temperature and photoperiod in the sampling area. 187 brooders were caught, 146 females and 41 males in the Gulf of California, Mexico. Significant differences (P < 0.005) in the IGS, IHS and IGV but not for K were observed. Significant changes (P < 0.05) were also observed in most of the biochemical parameters, being the highest value during the spawning stage, whereas the lowest occurred during the resting stage. Significant correlations (P < 0.05) between all estimated indices and biochemical parameters were observed, while only significant correlations (P < 0.05) between the IGS and IGV with respect to water temperature."

"Obtaining the best possible estimates of individual growth parameters is essential in studies of physiology, fisheries management, and conservation of natural resources since growth is a key component of population dynamics. In the present work, we use data of an endangered fish species to demonstrate the importance of selecting the right data error structure when fitting growth models in multimodel inference. The totoaba (Totoaba macdonaldi) is a fish species endemic to the Gulf of California increasingly studied in recent times due to a perceived threat of extinction. Previous works estimated individual growth using the von Bertalanffy model assuming a constant variance of length-at-age. Here, we reanalyze the same data under five different variance assumptions to fit the von Bertalanffy and Gompertz models. We found consistent significant differences between the constant and nonconstant error structure scenarios and provide an example of the consequences using the growth performance index _0 to show how using the wrong error structure can produce growth parameter values that can lead to biased conclusions. Based on these results, for totoaba and other related species, we recommend using the observed error structure to obtain the individual growth parameters."

ANÁLISIS DE PIGMENTOS, PEROXIDASA, PROLINA Y PROTEÍNAS DE TRES ESPECIES DE Paulownia BAJO ESTRES HÍDRICO

ANALYSIS OF PIGMENTS, PEROXIDASE, PROLINE AND PROTEINS OF THREE Paulownia SPECIES UNDER WATER STRESS

José Manuel Llano Sotelo Lilia Alcaráz Meléndez (2012, [Artículo])

"Los árboles del género Paulownia son de rápido crecimiento y tienen importancia económica en Asia como materia prima de uso común en la elaboración de muebles, instrumentos musicales y cercos, lo que ha despertado interés por cultivarlos en diferentes ambientes. Con el objetivo de evaluar la tolerancia al estrés hídrico se eligieron tres especies, P. imperialis, P. fortunei y P. elongata, porque son las que se utilizan en China con mayor frecuencia en la reforestación y en la industria maderera. Se realizaron análisis bioquímicos de las hojas para determinar los siguientes componentes: como pigmentos, a las clorofilas total, a y b; β-caroteno, violaxantina y luteína); las enzimas peroxidasa y prolina, así como proteínas solubles, insolubles y totales en tres diferentes condiciones de humedad del suelo, bajo dos condiciones ambientales, campo e invernadero, entre los cuales se observaron diferencias significativas; destaca un incremento del contenido de pigmentos y peroxidasa, y una disminución de las proteínas y prolina en el ambiente controlado, principalmente. Al evaluar la respuesta al estrés hídrico entre las especies se concluyó que P. imperialis y P. elongata son más tolerantes que P. fortunei, debido a su mayor contenido de prolina, mas proteínas totales y solubles, indicadores de una mejor tolerancia a condiciones de estrés."

"Paulownia trees are fast growing and are economically important in Asia as raw material regularly used for furniture, musical instruments, fences, etc., which rose some interest in their cultivation in different environments. In order to assess water stress tolerance, three of these species, P. imperialis, P. fortunei and P. elongate, were selected as they are the most commonly used in reforestation and wood industry in China. Biochemical analyses were performed in leaves, to determine the following elements: pigments (total, a and b chlorophyll; β-carotene, violaxanthin; lutein), peroxidase, proline, total, soluble and insoluble proteins, under three moisture soil concentrations and two environments, field and greenhouse, the latter of which revealed significant differences between them; there is an increment in pigment and peroxidase content and a decrease in protein and proline content, mainly in the greenhouse environment. When water stress was assessed among species, it was concluded that P. imperialis and P. elongata are more tolerant than P. fortunei because of their higher content of proline, total and soluble proteins, which are major tolerance markers in stress conditions.

Morphological Alterations in Human Skeletal Muscle Cells Exposed to di-(2-Ethylhexyl) Phthalate (dehp) in Primary Cell Culture Conditions

Alteraciones Morfológicas en Células Musculares Esqueléticas Humanas Expuestas a Ftalato de di-(2-etilhexilo) (dehp) en Condiciones de Cultivo Celular Primario

Pablo Hernández Almaraz ORLANDO LUGO LUGO Ramón Gaxiola Robles OSCAR KURT BITZER QUINTERO Luis Javier Ramírez Jirano Elizabeth Brassea Pérez TANIA ZENTENO SAVIN (2022, [Artículo])

"Di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) is among the most common plasticizer additives that humans are in contact with daily. DEHP can be released from plastic and enter the human body, whereby it is metabolized and transformed into oxidative hydrophilic molecules. Clinical follow-ups in patients exposed to this phthalate and investigations in cultures of several cell types have provided information on its effects. For example, it is associated with inhibition of diploid human cell development and morphological changes in cultured germ cells. Although skeletal muscle represents around 50 % of the human body mass, knowledge about the effects of DEHP on this tissue is poor. Cultured skeletal muscle cells were exposed to DEHP (1 mM) for 13 days with the aim of exploring and evaluating some of the potential morphological effects. Three culture development parameters and nine cell characteristics were monitored during the bioassay. At 13 days, growth area, cell viability, and concentration of total proteins were lower in DEHP exposed than in control cells. Cell width and area, as well as the diameter of the nucleus and nucleolus, were greater in exposed cells than in control cells. These are interpreted as signs of cytotoxicity and suggest potential adverse effects on the development of skeletal muscle cells from DEHP exposure, as reported for other cell types."
