Metabolic syndrome (MS) has been associated with testicular damage. Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a multisystemic disease that affects different organs, but its effect on the testes is unknown. A study analyzing germ cell involvement on BALB/c mice was carried out. A parallel comparative study was conducted that investigated alterations in the germinal epithelium of male humans that died from an unrelated acute event. The complete medical histories and histologic samples of the thoracic aorta, liver tissue, and testicular tissue from the deceased subjects were collected. The degree of germinal epithelial loss (DGEL) was evaluated and the clinical and histologic data were compared between individuals with and without NAFLD. The only metabolic or morphologic variable that caused a significant difference in the DGEL, in both the animal model and humans, was the presence of liver steatosis. The percentage of steatosis was also correlated with the percentage of the DGEL. In humans, steatosis (greater than 20%) increased the risk 12-fold for presenting with a severe DGEL (OR: 12.5; 95% CI [1.2, 128.9]; p = .03). There was no association with age above 50 years or MS components. Steatosis grade was also correlated with atherosclerosis grade. NAFLD was a strongly associated factor implicated in severe DGEL, as well as the testis was identified as a probable target organ for damage caused by the disease. his finding could result in the search for new approach strategies in the management of men with fertility problems. Further studies are required to confirm these results.

Petrología y geoquímica isotópica del complejo alcalino La Vasca, noroeste de Coahuila

Petrology and isotope geochemistry of the La Vasca Alkaline Complex, northwestern Coahuila

Edgar Alan Martínez Salinas (2023, [Tesis de maestría])

En el complejo alcalino La Vasca (CALV), afloran cuerpos ígneos con afinidad peralcalina y mineralizaciones de eudialita, los cuales no se habían considerado previamente en el magmatismo regional, en especial respecto a la Provincia Alcalina Oriental Mexicana (PAOM). La Vasca estaba pobremente documentada y no se conocía su vínculo con esta provincia magmática, además que los minerales del grupo de eudialita son de elevado interés por su contenido de elementos de tierras raras. En este trabajo se realizaron descripciones petrográficas, análisis geoquímicos de elementos mayores, traza, e isótopos de Sr, Nd, y Pb, así como geocronología U-Pb en zircones. En el CALV, se identificaron granitoides ferroanos, alcalinos, clasificados en dos grupos por su saturación de alúmina: metaluminoso y peralcalino. Un grupo de diques, sills y rocas volcánicas vistas en el Ejido San Miguel, localidad cercana al CALV, muestran semejanzas con las rocas metaluminosas, mientras que los diques y sills que afloran en las periferias del CALV son casi exclusivamente peralcalinos. Las rocas metaluminosas muestran firmas geoquímicas de ambiente post-colisional e intraplaca, mientras que las peralcalinas poseen firmas intraplaca. Ambos grupos muestran poca contaminación cortical, afinidad con una fuente de manto tipo OIB, y atravesaron un basamento Fanerozoico a Precámbrico asociado a la zona interior de la sutura Ouachita. Zircones en las rocas metaluminosas arrojan edades de ca. 48 y 45 Ma, y las condiciones de formación de las rocas indican que las rocas peralcalinas son cogenéticas. Las rocas del CALV se ajustan al modelo de formación de magmas en la PAOM, en el que se propone que el retroceso de la subducción plana de la placa Farallón ocurrió debido a la ruptura del conjugado de Hess, causando el ascenso de la astenósfera y la fusión de un manto litosférico modificado por subducción. Concluida la ruptura y el hundimiento del conjugado de Hess, comienza a contribuir un manto astenosférico metasomatizado a la formación de magmas. El CALV marca la extensión de la PAOM en el noroeste de Coahuila.

At the La Vasca Alkaline Complex (LVAC), outcrops of igneous bodies with peralkaline affinity and eudialyte mineralization were reported, which were not previously considered within the regional magmatism regarding the Eastern Mexican Alkaline Province (EMAP). La Vasca was poorly documented and no link with this magmatic province was properly defined, and additionally, the eudialyte group minerals are of great interest due to its content of rare earth elements. In this work, petrographic descriptions, major and trace element, and Sr, Nd, and Pb isotope geochemical analysis, as well as U-Pb zircon geochronology were carried out. At the LVAC, two groups of ferroan, alkaline granitoids were identified and classified according to their alumina saturation: metaluminous and peralkaline. A group of dikes, sills, and volcanic rocks at the neighboring locality of Ejido San Miguel show similarities with the metaluminous rocks, while the dikes and sills outcropping at the LVAC periphery are almost exclusively peralkaline. The metaluminous rocks show geochemical signatures of post-collisional and intraplate settings, while the peralkaline ones have intraplate signatures. Both groups show little crustal contamination, affinity to an OIB-type mantle source, and traversed a Precambrian to Phanerozoic basement related to the interior zone of the Ouachita suture. Zircons from the metaluminous rocks have dates of ca. 48 and 45 Ma, and the conditions of rock formation show that the peralkaline rocks are cogenetic. Rocks from the LVAC fit within the model of magma formation in the EMAP, in which it is proposed that the flat-slab roll-back of the Farallon Plate occurred due to the Hess conjugate tearing, causing asthenospheric upwelling and the melting of the subduction-modified lithospheric mantle. Concluding the tearing and foundering of the Hess conjugate, a metasomatized asthenospheric mantle begins to contribute to magma generation. The LVAC marks the extension of the EMAP in northwestern Coahuila.

DINÁMICA DE ACUMULACIÓN DE ARSÉNICO EN RELACIÓN A OTROS ELEMENTOS TRAZA Y POLISACÁRIDOS DE LA PARED CELULAR DE Sargassum spp. DE ARRIBAZONES

Paulina Annette Ortega Flores (2023, [Tesis de doctorado])

"La frecuencia e intensidad del fenómeno de arribazón de macroalgas marinas ha ido en aumento a nivel mundial. En el Caribe Mexicano, se ha identificado a especies pelágicas de algas pardas del género Sargassum como dominantes en estos arribazones. La gran cantidad de material que arriba a la costa ha resaltado la necesidad de generar información sobre la biología y composición química de las especies presentes en este fenómeno, la cual pueda ser incorporada en futuras estrategias sustentables de aprovechamiento de la biomasa arribada. En el presente estudio se determinaron las concentraciones totales de arsénico (As), cadmio (Cd), plomo (Pb), cobre (Cu), hierro (Fe) y zinc (Zn) en S. fluitans, S. natans I, S. natans VIII, recolectadas mensualmente durante un año, en Puerto Morelos, Quintana Roo, México mediante Espectrofotometría de Absorción Atómica (EAA). Para As, se determinó el contenido de su especie química inorgánica (iAs) en los tres morfotipos mediante voltametría. Adicionalmente, en S. fluitans se determinó el contenido de alginato, fucoidano, ácidos urónicos y sulfatos y se identificaron las variables de contribución significativa en la acumulación de As a partir de un Modelo Lineal Generalizado (GLM). La presencia de As se detectó en el 100% de las muestras; seguido de Fe (98%), Zn (90%), Cu (78%), Pb (71%) y Cd (65%). Las concentraciones máximas obtenidas en las especies pelágicas de Sargassum fueron de 255.20 mg kg-1 para As, 3.75 mg kg-1 para Cd, 17.39 mg kg-1 para Pb, 6.44 mg kg-1 para Cu, 78.27 mg kg-1 para Fe y 33.25 mg kg-1 para Zn. En general, las concentraciones promedio de los elementos analizados se encuentran en rangos previamente reportados para algas pardas. Los elementos As, Cu, Fe y Pb presentaron diferencias estadísticamente significativas entre morfotipos, mientras que los elementos Cd y Zn no. El morfotipo S. natans VIII presentó las concentraciones más elevadas de As respecto a las especies S. fluitans y S. natans I, siendo la temporada de lluvias (julio a octubre) cuando se presentaron las concentraciones más elevadas de este elemento. En cuanto al iAs, este representó del 14.15% al 81.70 % del As total (TotAs), lo que corresponde a 12.69 mg kg-1 a 62. 93 mg kg-1..."

"The frequency and intensity of the seaweed massive influx and arrival phenomenon has been increasing globally. On Mexican shores, has been identified to pelagic species of brown algae of genus Sargassum as dominant in these events. The large amount of material that reaches to the coast, has highlighted the need to generate basic information about the biology and chemical composition of the species present in the arrival phenomenon to be incorporated into future sustainable strategies for the use of Sargassum biomass. In the present study, the total concentrations were determined for arsenic (As), cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb), copper (Cu), iron (Fe) and zinc (Zn) in S. fluitans, S. natans I, S. natans VIII, collected monthly during one year, in Puerto Morelos, Quintana Roo, Mexico. For As, the content of its inorganic chemical species (iAs) was determined. Additionally, in S. fluitans the content of alginate, fucoidan, uronic acids and sulfates was determined and a Generalized Linear Model (GLM) was developed to identify the variables of significant contribution in the accumulation of As. The presence of As was detected in 100% of the samples; followed by Fe (98%), Zn (90%), Cu (78%), Pb (71%) and Cd (65%). The maximum concentrations obtained in the pelagic Sargassum species were 255.20 mg kg-1 for As, 3.75 mg kg-1 for Cd, 17.39 mg kg-1 for Pb, 6.44 mg kg-1 for Cu, 78.27 mg kg-1 for Fe y 33.25 mg kg-1 for Zn. Mean concentrations are in ranges previously reported for brown algae. The elements As, Cu, Fe and Pb showed statistically significant differences between morphotypes, while the elements Cd and Zn did not. The S. natans VIII morphotype presented the highest As concentrations respect to S. fluitans and S. natans I species, being the rainy season (July to October) when the highest concentrations was presented. –Regard to iAs. this represented from 14.15% to 81.70% of the total As (TotAs) which corresponds to 12.69 mg kg-1 to 62. 93 mg kg-1. In S. fluitans, identified the variables: Cu, uronic acids and sulfates from fucoidan, as variables that contribute significantly to the accumulation of As. Monitoring of the diverse components of sargazo is important for the decision making regarding the safe use and exploitation of this resource, as well as, the generation of basic knowledge regarding the process of metal accumulation in Sargassum upwelling."

The past, the present, the future, and occupational self-efficacy: an attributions and cultural differences perspective

Daniel Arturo Cernas Ortiz (2023, [Artículo, Artículo])

This study´s objective was to examine empirical relationships between three dimensions of time perspective (future, present fatalistic, and past negative) and occupational self-efficacy. By surveying Mexican (n = 286) and U.S. (n = 272) respondents, we also tested the moderating role of culture. Regression analyses revealed that time perspective dimensions have significant associations with occupational self-efficacy, being future time perspective more potent than its past negative and present fatalistic counterparts. Moderation analyses indicated that none of the examined time perspective-self-efficacy relationships varied significantly between the U.S. and Mexico. Overall, this study suggests that relationships between time perspective and occupational self-efficacy vary according to different temporal dimensions, that future TP is key to develop occupational self-efficacy, and that cultural values may not exert a significant influence on the time perspective-occupational self-efficacy connection.

On-farm assessment of yield and quality traits in durum wheat

Facundo Tabbita Iván Ortíz-Monasterios Francisco Javier Pinera-Chavez Maria Itria Ibba Carlos Guzman (2023, [Artículo])

BACKGROUND: Durum wheat is key source of calories and nutrients for many regions of the world. Demand for it is predicted to increase. Further efforts are therefore needed to develop new cultivars adapted to different future scenarios. Developing a novel cultivar takes, on average, 10 years and advanced lines are tested during the process, in general, under standardized conditions. Although evaluating candidate genotypes for commercial release under different on-farm conditions is a strategy that is strongly recommended, its application for durum wheat and particularly for quality traits has been limited. This study evaluated the grain yield and quality performance of eight different genotypes across five contrasting farmers’ fields over two seasons. Combining different analysis strategies, the most outstanding and stable genotypes were identified. RESULTS: The analyses revealed that some traits were mainly explained by the genotype effect (thousand kernel weight, flour sodium dodecyl sulfate sedimentation volume, and flour yellowness), others by the management practices (yield and grain protein content), and others (test weight) by the year effect. In general, yield showed the highest range of variation across genotypes, management practices, and years and test weight the narrowest range. Flour yellowness was the most stable trait across management conditions, while yield-related traits were the most unstable. We also determined the most representative and discriminative field conditions, which is a beneficial strategy when breeders are constrained in their ability to develop multi-environment experiments. CONCLUSIONS: We concluded that assessing genotypes in different farming systems is a valid and complementary strategy for on-station trials for determining the performance of future commercial cultivars in heterogeneous environments to improve the breeding process and resources.

Gender, rainfall endowment, and farmers’ heterogeneity in wheat trait preferences in Ethiopia

Hom Nath Gartaula Moti Jaleta (2024, [Artículo])

Wheat is a vital cereal crop for smallholders in Ethiopia. Despite over fifty years of research on wheat varietal development, consideration of gendered trait preferences in developing target product profiles for wheat breeding is limited. To address this gap, our study used sex-disaggregated survey data and historical rainfall trends from the major wheat-growing regions in Ethiopia. The findings indicated heterogeneity in trait preferences based on gender and rainfall endowment. Men respondents tended to prefer wheat traits with high straw yield and disease-resistance potential, while women showed a greater appreciation for wheat traits related to good taste and cooking quality. Farmers in high rainfall areas seemed to prioritize high straw yield and disease resistance traits, while those in low rainfall areas valued good adaptation traits more highly. Most of the correlation coefficients among the preferred traits were positive, indicating that farmers seek wheat varieties with traits that serve multiple purposes. Understanding men's and women's preferences and incorporating them in breeding and seed systems could contribute to the development of more targeted and effective wheat varieties that meet the diverse needs of men and women farmers in Ethiopia.

Structural analysis evaluationfor rollers of chassis dynoUsing finite element software

Jesús Emmanuel López Rizo ALFREDO CHAVEZ LUNA JAIME GONZALO SANTANA ESQUIVEL (2023, [Artículo])

This paper discusses the design considerations for a chassis dynamometer, focused on the rollers system used for measuring the power and torque of a vehicle in a university-level workshop. The design must prioritize factors such as safety, ease of use, adaptability to diverse types of vehicles, and the inclusion of safety systems to protect students and the vehicle. The work suggests adaptative features for the design, such as an adjustable fastening system and a compact and portable design, to adapt the structure into a university laboratory. The study also describes common methods for measuring engine power and torque using a chassis dynamometer, and the accurate and reliable measurement systems used for this purpose. This concludes with a discussion of the manufacturing methods used for the chassis dynamometer and a static analysis of the maximum effort capacity in each roller using Von Mises and Goodman fatigue theories. Developing a chassis dynamometer, in accordance the current patents available for workshop practices in a university is essential for providing students with comprehensive training.
