"Purpose Organic residues of coffee pulp, sugarcane bagasse and mature bovine manure are a source of organic matter and nutrients for the multiplication of endomycorrhizae consortia. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to multiply the AMFs in such substrates to decrease soil and water pollution. Method A pot experiment under greenhouse conditions was conducted in order to evaluate the influence of agricultural residues (C2-GEC, C3-PAR, C12-PRO, C14-ZAR) with different genera of endomycorrhizae isolated from semi-arid soils, 75 days after the crop was established. Agronomic characteristics and mineral content of N, K, Ca, Mg, and Fe in root and shoot were evaluated in wheat (Triticum aestivum). Results Multiplication of endomycorrhizae was influenced by the residue type. Greater production of spores was ob-served in the coffee pulp, followed by the sugarcane bagasse, where a higher colonization was obtained in combination of C2-GEC and C3-PAR consortia. This consortia combination also was one of those that have increased the content of N, K, Ca, Mg, and Fe in roots and shoots of wheat.Conclusion Combination of native endomycorrhiza substrates and consortia provides an alternative tool that benefits the physiology and nutrition of the plant to be used in sustainable agricultural production systems."

"Anthropogenic ultrafine particulate matter (UFPM) and industrial and natural nanoparticles (NPs) are ubiquitous. Normal term, preeclamptic, and postconceptional weeks(PCW) 8–15 human placentas and brains from polluted Mexican cities were analyzed by TEM and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. We documented NPs in maternal erythrocytes, early syncytiotrophoblast, Hofbauer cells, and fetal endothelium (ECs). Fetal ECs exhibited caveolar NP activity and widespread erythroblast contact. Brain ECs displayed micropodial extensions reaching luminal NP-loaded erythroblasts. Neurons and primitive glia displayed nuclear, organelle, and cytoplasmic NPs in both singles and conglomerates. Nanoscale Fe, Ti, and Al alloys, Hg, Cu, Ca, Sn, and Si were detected in placentas and fetal brains. Preeclamptic fetal blood NP vesicles are prospective neonate UFPM exposure biomarkers. NPs are reaching brain tissues at the early developmental PCW 8–15 stage, and NPs in maternal and fetal placental tissue compartments strongly suggests the placental barrier is not limiting the access of environmental NPs. Erythroblasts are the main early NP carriers to fetal tissues. The passage of UFPM/NPs from mothers to fetuses is documented and fingerprinting placental single particle composition could be useful for postnatal risk assessments. Fetal brain combustion and industrial NPs raise medical concerns about prenatal and postnatal health, including neurological and neurodegenerative lifelong consequences."

Políticas públicas sobre violencia feminicida y feminicidio en México. Una mirada desde las Unidades de Análisis y Contexto

MARISOL ALCOCER PERULERO (2022, [Artículo])

El feminicidio es el asesinato de una mujer ¿ o niña ¿ por el hecho de ser mujer, es decir por razones de género. El término expresa la violencia extrema que se manifiesta en este acto, muchas veces perpetrado con particular crueldad, precedido de maltratos, secuestro, tortura sexual y seguido de la exposición del cadáver en el espacio público. Este texto tiene como objetivo reflexionar respecto al funcionamiento de las Unidades de Análisis y Contexto para la investigación de feminicidios, ¿ creadas en el marco de las Declaratorias de Alerta de Violencia de Género en México (art. 22, LGAMVLV) ¿, para observar las características jurídico-normativas, técnicas y de recursos que tienen y deberían tener de acuerdo con las recomendaciones internacionales. Sostenemos que las unidades de inteligencia y de análisis de contextos son una herramienta para la investigación criminal, que pueden funcionar para comprender el feminicidio y las violencias interseccionales en el país. A través de un análisis descriptivo y documental, privilegiamos los informes oficiales de las Unidades de Análisis y Contexto sobre violencia contra las mujeres, analizamos los principales obstáculos para la implementación de dichas unidades, y desde la perspectiva de género y pertinencia cultural, la forma y estrategias en cómo se capta la información para distinguir entre homicidio y feminicidio, y mujeres indígenas y/o afromexicanas, en un contexto de violencias estructurales y del crimen organizado.

Femicide is the murder of a woman ¿ or girl ¿ due to the fact of being a woman, that is, for reasons of gender. The term expresses the extreme violence that is manifested in this act, often perpetrated with particular cruelty, preceded by mistreatment, kidnapping, sexual torture and followed by the exposition of the corpse in public space. Objective: This text aims to reflect on the functioning of the Analysis and Context Units that have been created in Mexico,to observe the legal-regulatory, technical and resource characteristics that they have and should have in accordance with international recommendations. We sustain that the intelligence and context analysis units are a tool for criminal investigation, which can work to understand intersectional violence in Mexico. Through a descriptive and documentary analysis, we privilege the official reports of the Analysis and Context Units on violence against women, we analyze, based on the main obstacles to the implementation of said units, from the perspective of gender and relevance culture, as well as the way and strategies in how information is collected to distinguish between homicide and femicide, and to identify indigenous and/or Afro-Mexican women, and in a context of other structural violence and organized crime.

Effect of Nitrogen, Phosphorus and Potassium on regional organic substrates in Agave salmiana production in Huichapan, Hidalgo, Mexico

EMILIO RAYMUNDO MORALES MALDONADO MONICA GUTIERREZ ROJAS RAMON JAIME HOLGUIN PEÑA Daniel Ruiz-Juárez Jorge Luis Vega Chávez Ana Cristina Reyes Godoy (2022, [Artículo])

"Mexico has 159 species of Agave spp. In the agri-food industry stand out are Agave tequilana, A. angustifolia, and A. salmiana. A limitation to producing maguey seedlings is the low availability of organic substrates that favor plant adaptation in the field. The objective was to evaluate the effect of nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) found in substrates in response to vegetative and root growth of A. salmiana in agricultural areas of Huichapan, Hidalgo, Mexico. The treatment consisted of earthworm humus (EH) and leaf compost (LC) substrates with materials from the region with different percentages of EH (100, 75, 50%), LC (5, 10%), and sand (20, 40%). The treatments were applied with 14 random replications in two phases in seeds and 40-day-seedlings. The variables evaluated were NPK amount and pH in substrates. The physiological variables measured were plant height, leaf number, stem diameter, root length, and volume. Significant differences (P≤0.05) were observed in seedling physiology due to the effect of the treatment. The best agronomic responses (plant growth and root length/weight) of Agave seedlings were T5 (75% earthworm humus + 20% sand + 5% leaf-soil) and T6 (50% earthworm humus + 40% sand + 10% leaf-soil); in both treatments, the NPK percentages were different from the control (Haplic Phaeozem soil) group. The final concentration of NPK in T6 was N = 0.04%, P = 398.13 mg Kg-1 and K = 11.88 meq 100g-1 . The results infer that NPK availability in soil and progressive acidification (initial pH = 8.6, final pH = 7.4) of the substrate can favorably influence the plant response. The interactions between NPK availability in the substrate and their use for a better response in maguey seedling adaptability open up new lines of research on the productive systems in the región of Huichapan, Hidalgo, Mexico."

Entretejiendo la historia biocultural del Agave cocui (Asparagaceae: Agavoideae) en Venezuela

SILVIA GOMEZ RANGEL (2022, [Artículo])

La presente contribución es un acercamiento a la historia biocultural del Agave cocui Trelease. En la América tropical (Neotrópico), pueblos indígenas y comunidades rurales evidencian una milenaria riqueza de conocimientos en el manejo y aprovechamiento de especies nativas. Sin embargo, los datos sobre A. cocui son fragmentarios e imprecisos. Desde la condición diacrónica de la antropología, son enunciadas y confrontadas diversas líneas de evidencias, a partir de la temprana descripción de Galeotto Cey en el siglo XVI y los orígenes amerindios de su nombre vernáculo. Revitalizar los conocimientos tradicionales sobre la especie contribuiría a mitigar eventuales impactos ambientales y a su aprovechamiento integral y sostenible.

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.

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.
