"Metal nanoparticles have many positive effects in improving crop production and productivity and allow for increased germination and rapid crop establishment under field conditions. The metallic nanoparticles applied in this study were copper oxide nanoparticles (CuONPs) biosynthesized using orange peel (Citrus X sinensis) as a reducing agent to avoid or reduce toxicity in wheat seeds and sprouts. This study determined the effect of CuONPs on germination, radicle and plumule length, as well as the production of phytochemical compounds in wheat sprouts. The seeds were treated with suspensions of CuONPs at the following concentrations: 0, 0.5, 1, 2, 4 and 6 mg mL-1. The results indicate that the use of low doses of CuONPs (0.5 mg mL-1), improved germination, vigor, plumule and radicle length, in addition to increasing the biosynthesis of phytochemical compounds in wheat shoots. A high concentration of CuONPs (6 mg mL-1) causes inhibitory effects due to Cu accumulation and phytotoxicity in plant tissue. The use of CuONPs for green synthesis is a viable alternative to obtain beneficial effects in germination and seedling development, as well as greater secondary metabolite production."

"The application of metallic nanoparticles improves the yield and content of bioactive compounds in plants. The aim of the present study was to determine the effects of the foliar application of copper nanoparticles (CuO-NPs) in the yield and content of bioactive compounds in lettuce. Different concentrations of CuO-NPs (0, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, and 6 mg mL−1 ) were applied in lettuce. The yield, nutraceutical quality, and enzymatic activity were determined. Foliar spraying of CuO-NPs induced an increase in the biosynthesis of bioactive compounds. In addition to an increase in the activity of the enzymes superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) in lettuce plants, there were no negative effects on yield. Therefore, with the application of CuO-NPs, better quality lettuces are produced for the human diet due to the higher production of bioactive compounds."

Plant Growth-Promoting Rhizobacteria Improve Growth and Fruit Quality of Cucumber under Greenhouse Conditions

GERARDO ZAPATA SIFUENTES Luis Guillermo Hernández Montiel Jorge Sáenz Mata Manuel Fortis Hernández EDUARDO BLANCO CONTRERAS ROBERTO GREGORIO CHIQUITO CONTRERAS Pablo Preciado Rangel (2022, [Artículo])

"Cucumber fruit is rich in fiber, carbohydrates, protein, magnesium, iron, vitamin B, vitamin C, flavonoids, phenolic compounds, and antioxidants. Agrochemical-based production of cucumber has tripled yields; however, excessive synthetic fertilization has caused problems in the accumulation of salts in the soil and has increased production costs. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of three strains of plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) on cucumber fruit growth and quality under greenhouse conditions. The rhizobacteria Pseudomonas paralactis (KBendo6p7), Sinorhizobium meliloti (KBecto9p6), and Acinetobacter radioresistens (KBendo3p1) was adjusted to 1 × 108 CFU mL−1 . The results indicated that the inoculation with PGPR improved plant height, stem diameter, root length, secondary roots, biomass, fruit size, fruit diameter, and yield, as well as nutraceutical quality and antioxidant capacity, significantly increasing the response of plants inoculated with A. radioresistens and S. meliloti in comparison to the control. In sum, our findings showed the potential functions of the use of beneficial bacteria such as PGPR for crop production to reduce costs, decrease pollution, and achieve world food safety and security."

"Cocoa is an economical cash crop that is formerly planted worldwide. Cuttings are a method of vegetative propagation suitable for maintaining desirable characteristics in cocoa trees. A greenhouse experiment was performed to evaluate the optimal concentrations of Pectimorf® (0, 10, 50, and 100 mg L-1) for rooting ability and seedling establishment as well as some physiological trials of 4 months EETP-800 national cocoa cuttings grown under two different substrates (S1: 80% soil + 20% sand and S2: 70% soil + 20% sand + 10% rice husk). The data showed that in most cases there are no significant differences in vegetative growth and root characteristics as well as gas exchange parameters between the two substrates. On the other hand, the application of Pectimorf® concentration enhanced all tested traits compared to untreated plants. The most effective in this regard was 100 mg L-1, that giving the highest value of all trials. As for the interaction effect, the result also shows that the application of Pectimorf® concentration in special at 100 mg L-1 among two substrates had an additive effect on plant growth, gas exchange, and survival percentage compared to non-treated cuttings. The application of 100 mg L-1 Pectimorf® with S2 substrate produced stronger seedlings with a higher survival percentage. This protocol can be used commercially for cocoa propagation commercially."

"Soursop leaves are a source of phytochemical compounds, such as phenolic acids, flavonoids, hydrolyzable tannins, and acetogenins. These compounds can have several types of biological activities. Lactic acid bacteria can uptake phenolic compounds present in plants or fruits. The aim of the present work was to investigate the in vitro effect of hexane, acetone, methanolic, and aqueous extracts of soursop leaves (Annona muricata L.) on the growth, motility, and biofilm formation of Lactobacillus casei, and to determine compounds related to growth. The minimum concentration promoting growth, motility (swimming, swarming, and twitching), and biofilm-forming capacity (crystal violet) were evaluated. The results showed the growth-promoting capacity of acetone and aqueous extracts at low doses 25–50 mg/L, and an inhibition in the four extracts at higher doses of 100 mg/L. The L. casei growth is related to ellagic acid, quercetin rhamnoside, kaempferol dihexoside, quercetin hexoside, secoisolariciresinol, and kaempferol hexoside-rhamnoside. Hexane extract increased the three types of motility, while aqueous maintained swimming and twitching motility similar to control. The four extracts inhibited the biofilm formation capacity."

How a holobiome perspective could promote intensification, biosecurity and eco-efficiency in the shrimp aquaculture industry

Eric Daniel Gutiérrez Pérez RICARDO VAZQUEZ JUAREZ FRANCISCO JAVIER MAGALLON BARAJAS MIGUEL ANGEL MARTINEZ MERCADO GRISEL ALEJANDRA ESCOBAR ZEPEDA Paola Magallón Servín (2022, [Artículo])

"The aquaculture industry faces many challenges regarding the intensification of shrimp rearing systems. One of these challenges is the release of excessive amounts of nitrogen and phosphorus into coastal areas, causing disruption in nutrient cycling and microbial equilibrium, which are important for coastal productivity. Biosecurity within the shrimp rearing systems can also be compromised by disruption to the nutrient fluxes, and as consequence the microbiome of the system. In certain conditions, these changes could lead to the blooming of potentially pathogenic bacteria. These changes in the external microbiome of the system and the constant fluctuations of nutrients can affect the intestinal microbiome of shrimp, which is involved in the growth and development of the host, affecting nutrient absorption, regulating metabolic processes, synthesising vitamins, modulating the immune response and preventing growth of pathogenic bacteria. It has been suggested that specific changes in the intestinal microbiome of Litopenaeus vannamei may be an avenue through which to overcome some of the problems that this industry faces, in terms of health, growth and waste. Recent research, however, has focussed mainly on changes in the intestinal microbiome. Researchers have overlooked the relevance of other aspects of the system, such as the microbiome from the benthic biofilms; zooplankton, plankton and bacterioplankton; and other sources of microorganisms that can directly affect the microbial status of the intestinal and epiphytic communities, especially in rearing systems that are based on intensification and microbial maturation processes, such as a biofloc system. It is therefore necessary to place holobiome studies into context, including the ‘holobiome of the aquaculture system’ (microbiomes that make up the culture system and their interactions) and not only the intestinal microbiome. Thus, we describe factors that affect the shrimp microbiome, the methodology of study, from sampling to bioinformatic workflows, and introduce the concept of the ‘holobiome of the aquaculture system’ and how this enables us to promote the intensification, biosafety and eco-efficiency of shrimp farming. The holobiome perspective implies a greater investment of resources and time for research, but it will accelerate the development of technology that will benefit the development and sustainability of the aquaculture industry."

RELACIONES SOCIALES Y TRABAJO EMOCIONAL EN EL ENTRAMADO DE LOS PROCESOS DE SALUD, ENFERMEDAD Y ATENCIÓN: EL CASO DE LAS CONSTELACIONES FAMILIARES EN MÉXICO

CLARA LUZ VILLANUEVA AGUILAR (2024, [Tesis de doctorado])

“Las constelaciones familiares (en adelante CF), como una modalidad o método terapéutico, han tenido un crecimiento importante en las últimas décadas, una muestra concreta es que diferentes plataformas de streaming tienen series completas que se focalizan en las CF o que al menos las presentan como una modalidad terapéutica en boga. Cuando se hace una búsqueda en internet, Google arroja cientos de respuestas, entre ellas: centros de CF, publicaciones, así como diferentes alcaldías de la CDMX, aparecen anuncios de centros de CF incluidas sus actividades. Este hecho en sí es un fenómeno social que es pertinente estudiar, más aún cuando el desarrollo de esta psicoterapia se acrecentó durante el confinamiento a causa de la pandemia por COVID 19, a partir del uso de recursos terapéuticos y digitales, lo cual fue novedoso y también indispensable para la continuidad de su desarrollo. En este sentido, nos interesó comprender qué objetivos llevan a lxs consultantes a utilizar esta terapéutica, cuáles son sus necesidades de salud física, mental y emocional y si están encontrando en esta psicoterapia una eficacia empírica y/o simbólica por la cual los grupos CF están creciendo sostenidamente, aun durante el confinamiento. También consideramos relevante comprender cuáles son los elementos más y menos cuestionables de este tipo de terapia para consultantes y curadorxs, tomando en cuenta que su auge no solo está relacionado a aspectos positivos, ya que existen otros elementos que están en juego en el desarrollo de todo método terapéutico. Consideramos que un aspecto fundamental en el estudio del crecimiento de esta terapéutica, es la descripción y el análisis comparativo entre las características y funciones de las CF en relación con las características y funciones de la biomedicina, desde la perspectiva de los actores involucrados; ya que por un lado, la búsqueda de atención a la salud en forma integral”.

Evaluación de sobrecarga por cifrado en redes multisalto para la internet de las cosas médicas

Evaluation of encryption overload in multihop networks for the internet of medical things

Adrián Neftalí Sánchez (2022, [Tesis de maestría])

El Internet de las cosas médicas (IoMT por sus siglas en ingles) permitirá habilitar servicios y aplicaciones enfocados a diagnósticos más precisos y mejorar la cobertura efectiva de los sistemas de salud. Para esto, es necesario la recolección y envío de información de salud de las personas a través de sensores que monitorean continuamente los signos vitales de las personas. El envío a través de redes para el internet de las cosas (IoT por sus siglas en ingles) de información de salud plantea varios retos importantes para los sistemas de comunicaciones. Uno de los más relevantes es el de preservar la confidencialidad y privacidad de la información desde su recolección hasta su tratamiento y almacenamiento. Esto es especialmente complejo considerando que los sensores utilizados suelen tener pocos recursos en términos de memoria y capacidad de procesamiento. Por lo tanto se han propuesto una serie de algoritmos que cifran esta información de una manera eficiente usando los recursos limitados con los que cuentan estos dispositivos. Estos algoritmos han sido evaluados desde la perspectiva de consumo de potencia y rendimiento. Sin embargo, no se ha hecho una evaluación de cómo éstos afectan el comportamiento de una red IoMT en su conjunto. El presente trabajo de investigación busca evaluar el comportamiento de la implementación de una red IoMT cuya pila de tecnologías en su capa de seguridad utilice algoritmos de cifrado ligero para proteger información desde el momento de conformación de la red. Para realizar esta evaluación se consideraron 5 candidatos de algoritmos de cifrado ligero del concurso que está llevando a cabo el instituto nacional de estándares y tecnología de los Estados Unidos (NIST por sussiglas en ingles), con los cuales utilizando métricas de red, se evaluó el comportamiento de la red al variar entre los distintos algoritmos de cifrado ligero además de compararlos con una implementación del cifrado por defecto AES-128 y una implementación sin ningún tipo de cifrado. Para realizar las diferentes implementaciones con las que se realizó esta evaluación se utilizó el sistema operativo IoT Contiki-ng el cual fue implementado tanto en dos distintos simuladores (Cooja y Renode) como en el dispositivo físico Sensortag-CC2650.

The Internet of medical things (IoMT) will enable services and applications focused on more accurate diagnoses and improve the effective coverage of health systems. For this, it is necessary to collect and send people’s health information through sensors that continuously monitor people’s vital signs. Delivering health information over internet of things networks (IoT) poses several significant challenges for communications systems. One of the most relevant is to preserve the confidentiality and privacy of the information from its collection to its treatment and storage. This is especially complex considering that the sensors used tend to have few resources in terms of memory and processing capacity. Therefore, a series of algorithms have been proposed that encrypt this information efficiently using the limited resources available to these devices. These algorithms have been evaluated from the perspective of power consumption and performance. However, no assessment has been made of how these affect the behavior of an IoMT network as a whole. This research work seeks to evaluate the behavior of an implementation of an IoMT network whose stack of technologies in its security layer uses lightweight encryption algorithms to protect information from the moment the network is formed. To carry out this evaluation, 5 candidates for lightweight encryption algorithms from the contest being carried out by National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) were considered, with which, using network metrics, the behavior of the network was evaluated for different lightweight encryption algorithms in addition to comparing them. with an implementation of the default encryption AES-128 and an implementation without any encryption. To carry out the different implementations with which this evaluation was carried out, the IoT Contiki-ng operating system was used, which was implemented both in two different simulators (Cooja and Renode) and in the physical device Sensortag-CC2650.
