Tutoring to novel teachers. A fragment of skylight from the border of Ciudad Juarez

Silvia Gabriela Alvídrez Minora (2022, [Artículo, Artículo])

This article describes and interprets the tutoring of novice teachers in a preschool area of ​​Ciudad Juarez. The study is situated in the interpretive paradigm; It makes use of the ethnographic method and research techniques such as participant observation and interview. The partial results show that tutoring is considered an important process for the insertion and professionalization of new teachers; however, it is mentioned that this enriching relationship is only possible when there is communication between all the people involved in the tutoring, in addition to being open to peer learning.

“We place our hope in the land”: defense of the territory against mining in Ixtacamaxtitlán, Puebla

Veronica Vazquez_Garcia Esteban Martínez Vásquez (2023, [Artículo, Artículo])

Mexico occupies first place in mining exploration in Latin America, a situation that has caused alarm among native peoples because the implementation of extractive projects threatens their vital space. The objective of this paper is to analyze the actions of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) of the Ixtaca Project in Ixtacamaxtitlán, Puebla, as well as the strategies of territorial defense undertaken by the communities to stop its expansion. Data was gathered through one survey, one workshop and various interviews conducted in three communities affected by the project. Results discuss three actions of CSR: 1) job offers; 2) investment in community infrastructure; 3) support for social events. Three main defense strategies were identified: 1) collective agreements refusing to sell water to the company; 2) legal litigations in favor of the right to be consulted as native peoples; 3) the strengthening of peasant agriculture thanks to the defense of the ejido, the conservation of irrigation water and the support received from the federal program Sembrando Vida. The paper concludes that, despite the negative impacts of RCS actions, these strategies have proven effective because mining concessions have been cancelled and some families have returned to agriculture.

¡Que se llega y que se llega! Análisis de la ritualidad en el sistema de peregrinaciones de la Caravana Nacional de la Fe, S.L.P.

LUZ DEL CARMEN ACEVEDO RODRIGUEZ (2020, [Tesis de maestría])

"Esta tesis se compone de cuatro capítulos formados tomando en cuenta la especificidad de la investigación y los intereses particulares propios de la zona de estudio: En el primer capítulo encontramos un acercamiento al peregrinaje donde se describe, a grandes rasgos, el proceso de conceptualización de este fenómeno y los principales autores que contribuyeron en la construcción del bagaje teórico, así como nuevas posturas surgidas de los cambios debidos a la globalización y las maneras de resistencia de la religiosidad popular en relación a ello. El segundo capítulo contiene datos etnográficos que describen todo lo relacionado con la práctica peregrina del grupo Caravana Nacional de la Fe, S.L.P., desde la organización social de la celaduría en términos estructurales, hasta las peregrinaciones que realizan a lo largo del año. El tercer capítulo describe los objetos en relación con la ritualidad y la impregnación de ésta y finalmente, el cuarto capítulo aborda el cuerpo desde una perspectiva sociocultural, alejado de la simple función biológica y fisiológica, sino entendido como una construcción social a partir de las prácticas que con éste se hacen y los elementos culturales del grupo de pertenencia".

Octopus maya white body show sex-specific transcriptomic profiles during the reproductive phase, with high differentiation in signaling pathways

Oscar Juárez (2019, [Artículo])

White bodies (WB), multilobulated soft tissue that wraps the optic tracts and optic lobes, have been considered the hematopoietic organ of the cephalopods. Its glandular appearance and its lobular morphology suggest that different parts of the WB may perform different functions, but a detailed functional analysis of the octopus WB is lacking. The aim of this study is to describe the transcriptomic profile of WB to better understand its functions, with emphasis on the difference between sexes during reproductive events. Then, validation via qPCR was performed using different tissues to find out tissue-specific transcripts. High differentiation in signaling pathways was observed in the comparison of female and male transcriptomic profiles. For instance, the expression of genes involved in the androgen receptor-signaling pathway were detected only in males, whereas estrogen receptor showed higher expression in females. Highly expressed genes in males enriched oxidation-reduction and apoptotic processes, which are related to the immune response. On the other hand, expression of genes involved in replicative senescence and the response to cortisol were only detected in females. Moreover, the transcripts with higher expression in females enriched a wide variety of signaling pathways mediated by molecules like neuropeptides, integrins, MAPKs and receptors like TNF and Toll-like. In addition, these putative neuropeptide transcripts, showed higher expression in females’ WB and were not detected in other analyzed tissues. These results suggest that the differentiation in signaling pathways in white bodies of O. maya influences the physiological dimorphism between females and males during the reproductive phase. © 2019 Juárez et al.

Movements of scalloped hammerhead sharks (Sphyrna lewini) at Cocos Island, Costa Rica and between oceanic islands in the Eastern Tropical Pacific

Elena Nalesso (2019, [Artículo])

Many species of sharks form aggregations around oceanic islands, yet their levels of residency and their site specificity around these islands may vary. In some cases, the waters around oceanic islands have been designated as marine protected areas, yet the conservation value for threatened shark species will depend greatly on how much time they spend within these protected waters. Eighty-four scalloped hammerhead sharks (Sphyrna lewini Griffith & Smith), were tagged with acoustic transmitters at Cocos Island between 2005–2013. The average residence index, expressed as a proportion of days present in our receiver array at the island over the entire monitoring period, was 0.52±0.31, implying that overall the sharks are strongly associated with the island. Residency was significantly greater at Alcyone, a shallow seamount located 3.6 km offshore from the main island, than at the other sites. Timing of presence at the receiver locations was mostly during daytime hours. Although only a single individual from Cocos was detected on a region-wide array, nine hammerheads tagged at Galapagos and Malpelo travelled to Cocos. The hammerheads tagged at Cocos were more resident than those visiting from elsewhere, suggesting that the Galapagos and Malpelo populations may use Cocos as a navigational waypoint or stopover during seasonal migrations to the coastal Central and South America. Our study demonstrates the importance of oceanic islands for this species, and shows that they may form a network of hotspots in the Eastern Tropical Pacific. © 2019 Nalesso et al.

La mirada de niños con NEE y maestros sobre la participación paterna en su aprendizaje: efectos de una intervención educativa

YANKO NORBERTO MEZQUITA HOYOS MARIA JOSE DE LILLE QUINTAL YOANY MARILY SOLIS KU (2016, [Artículo])

Esta investigación de corte cualitativo, tuvo como objetivo describir las percepciones que niños con NEE y sus maestros tienen sobre las estrategias de apoyo a su aprendizaje que tienen los padres antes y después de una intervención educativa. Para esto fue necesario, conocer desde la mirada de niños y profesores, las conductas de apoyo que brindan los padres en las actividades escolares a sus hijos y las situaciones que han facilitado o dificultado su involucramiento. Se trabajó con 6 docentes, que tienen en su grupo a uno o más alumnos con NEE y 8 alumnos con NEE de una escuela primaria pública, localizada al poniente de la ciudad de Mérida, Yucatán. En el diagnóstico se encontró que según los maestros, los padres de familia tienen un concepto impreciso de Necesidades Educativas Especiales, lo que repercute en sus expectativas académicas de sus hijos. Profesores y niños mencionaron que entre las principales barreras para el apoyo a sus hijos, se encuentran: su bajo nivel educativo y su comprensión de las tareas, la falta de paciencia, la carencia de información de cómo apoyarlos y la carencia de tiempo debido al trabajo. Se diseñó e implementó un taller para promover su participación, en el cual se consideraba tanto información teórica como experiencias personales de los participantes. Posterior a la implementación del taller los profesores consideraron que mejoró el conocimiento de los padres sobre NEE y coincidieron con los niños en que se mejoró la participación de los padres en el aprendizaje de sus hijos, implementando nuevas estrategias y mostrándose más colaborativos y tolerantes. Sin embargo los profesores destacaron la falta de participación de los padres en actividades escolares y comunitarias.

Spatial Effects of Urban Transport on Air Pollution in Metropolitan Municipalities of Mexico

GERZAIN AVILES POLANCO Marco Antonio Almendárez Hernández Luis Felipe Beltrán Morales Alfredo Ortega Rubio (2022, [Artículo])

"The objective of this work was to estimate the local effects and spatial spillover effects of the number of vehicles, use of urban public transport, and population density on nitrogen oxide emissions for 405 metropolitan municipalities in Mexico in 2016. To this end, a Spatial Durbin Model was estimated. We found positive direct effects of the number of vehicles and population density and negative direct effects of the use of urban public transport. The number of vehicles in circulation had negative spillover effects on the nitrogen oxide emissions of neighboring municipalities. These results indicate that the design of public policy programs aimed at reducing air pollution in Mexico should be based on coordination across metropolitan municipalities."

Non-autonomous Ginzburg-Landau solitons using the He-Li mapping method

MAXIMINO PEREZ MALDONADO Haret Codratian Rosu ELIZABETH FLORES GARDUÑO (2022, [Artículo])

"We find and discuss the non-autonomous soliton solutions in the case of variable nonlinearity and dispersion implied by the Ginzburg-Landau equation with variable coefficients. In this work we obtain non-autonomous Ginzburg-Landau solitons from the standard autonomous Ginzburg-Landau soliton solutions using a simplified version of the He-Li mapping. We find soliton pulses of both arbitrary and fixed amplitudes in terms of a function constrained by a single condition involving the nonlinearity and the dispersion of the medium. This is important because it can be used as a tool for the parametric manipulation of these non-autonomous solitons. "
