Coronin is a component of the endocytic collar of hyphae of neurospora crassa and is necessary for normal growth and morphogenesis

RAMON OSVALDO ECHAURI ESPINOSA (2012, [Artículo])

Coronin plays a major role in the organization and dynamics of actin in yeast. To investigate the role of coronin in a filamentous fungus (Neurospora crassa), we examined its subcellular localization using fluorescent proteins and the phenotypic consequences of coronin gene (crn-1) deletion in hyphal morphogenesis, Spitzenkörper behavior and endocytosis. Coronin-GFP was localized in patches, forming a subapical collar near the hyphal apex; significantly, it was absent from the apex. The subapical patches of coronin colocalized with fimbrin, Arp2/3 complex, and actin, altogether comprising the endocytic collar. Deletion of crn-1 resulted in reduced hyphal growth rates, distorted hyphal morphology, uneven wall thickness, and delayed establishment of polarity during germination; it also affected growth directionality and increased branching. The Spitzenkörper of Δcrn-1 mutant was unstable; it appeared and disappeared intermittently giving rise to periods of hyphoid-like and isotropic growth respectively. Uptake of FM4-64 in Δcrn-1 mutant indicated a partial disruption in endocytosis. These observations underscore coronin as an important component of F-actin remodeling in N. crassa. Although coronin is not essential in this fungus, its deletion influenced negatively the operation of the actin cytoskeleton involved in the orderly deployment of the apical growth apparatus, thus preventing normal hyphal growth and morphogenesis. © 2012 Echauri-Espinosa et al.

Isolation and characterization of endophytic bacteria associated with roots of jojoba (Simmondsia chinensis (Link) Schneid)

RICARDO VAZQUEZ JUAREZ TANIA ZENTENO SAVIN ENRIQUE MORALES BOJORQUEZ Elvia Pérez Rosales Lilia Alcaráz Meléndez María Esther Puente Eduardo Quiroz Guzmán (2017, [Artículo])

"In this communication, the diversity and beneficial characteristics of endophytic bacteria have been studied in Simmondsia chinensis that has industrial importance because of the quality of its seed oil. Endophytes were isolated (N = 101) from roots of the jojoba plants collected, of which eight were identified by partial sequencing of the 16S rDNA gene. The isolated bacteria were Bacillus sp., Methylobacterium aminovorans, Oceanobacillus kimchi, Rhodococcus pyridinivorans and Streptomyces sp. All isolates had at least one positive feature, characterizing them as potential plant growth promoting bacteria. In this study, R. pyridinivorans and O. kimchi are reported as plant growth promoters."

MEDICIÓN DE TEMPERATURA EN OBJETOS DE FASE MEDIANTE UN INTERFERÓMETRO DE MACH-ZEHNDER Y UN INTEFERÓMETRO DE WOLLASTON

Joao Francisco Trujillo Martinez (2022, [Tesis de maestría])

"Se implementarán de manera independiente, las técnicas de interferometría de Mach-Zehnder y de interferometría de Wollaston. Lo anterior para obtener información importante del comportamiento termodinámico de un objeto de fase axisimétrico. Debido a la naturaleza interferómetrica de ambos métodos, serán necesarios dos haces que interfirieran. Por lo anterior, ambas técnicas se mostrarán sensibles al ruido externo, sin embargo, al requerir la interferometría de Wollaston una sola trayectoria para los dos haces que interfieren, se espera que sea esta técnica, una técnica más robusta que la técnica interferométrica de Mach-Zehnder, la cual la hará más propicia para su implementación en un entorno industrial."

La política pública contra la sequía en México: avances, necesidades y perspectivas

Felipe Arreguin Mario Lopez Perez DAVID ORTEGA GAUCIN OSCAR FIDENCIO IBAÑEZ HERNANDEZ (2016, [Artículo])

Se presentan las acciones que se generaron a partir de la sequía del periodo 2010-2012 en México, la cual fue el detonador para un cambio en la manera de atender este fenómeno, al pasar de la reacción frente a las emergencias hacia un modelo preventivo orientado a la gestión del riesgo. En ese contexto se formuló una política pública nacional al respecto, donde el Programa Nacional contra la Sequía se constituyó en el eje rector. Los fundamentos de este programa —prevención y mitigación— constituyen las bases sobre las cuales se busca mejorar la gestión versus las sequías y fortalecer las capacidades locales para afrontar sus impactos con estrategias adecuadas. Se discuten algunas líneas de acción emprendidas en esta política pública, y se señalan varios elementos que aún no se han implementado o es incipiente su realización.

La intensificación de la variabilidad climática ha generado incertidumbre en los volúmenes de agua disponible en varias zonas de riego de México, ocasionan inestabilidad en la productividad del cultivo de maíz (Zea mays L.). Los modelos calibrados de simulación biológica son una herramienta computacional viable para estudiar el comportamiento de los cultivos en condiciones climáticas y escenarios de manejo agronómico e hídrico diferentes. En la presente investigación se calibró y validó el modelo AquaCrop para simular el desarrollo del cultivo de maíz en el norte de Sinaloa, México, con tres condiciones de disponibilidad hídrica: riego total (RT) y riego deficitario (80 % y 60 % respecto a RT).

“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.

Dialéctica, estructura y génesis: la presencia de Lautman en lo virtual deleuziano

Dialectic, structure and genesis: Lautman’s presence in Deleuze’s virtual

Gonzalo Santaya (2022, [Artículo])

Este artículo busca realizar un aporte a los estudios deleuzia nos en torno al concepto de lo virtual, a partir del examen de una fuente fundamental para su determinación: la noción de “dialéctica” extraída de la filosofía matemática de Albert Lautman. Antes que referir a Platón o Hegel, Deleuze se apropia de la dialéctica a partir de este autor, para determinar el plano de lo virtual como un campo problemático,

estructural-genético, simultáneamente inmanente y trascendente a las soluciones actuales que produce. Analizaremos primero el desarrollo del propio Lautman sobre la dialéctica en la filosofía matemática, para

mostrar luego cómo Deleuze pretende extender esa dialéctica más allá de la matemática; finalmente, presentamos algunas reflexiones sobre el privilegio de la matemática que caracteriza los desarrollos de lo virtual en Diferencia y repetición.

This paper aims to make a contribution to Deleuzian studies concerning the concept of the virtual, by examining a fundamental source in its determination: the notion of “dialectic” developed in Albert Lautman’s philosophy of mathematics. It is not Plato or Hegel, but Lautman, who Deleuze chooses to address his conception of the dialectic, determining the virtual field as a problematic one, which is both

structural and genetic, and simultaneously immanent and transcendent

to the actual solutions it produces. We will first analyze Lautman’s own

presentation of the dialectic in philosophy of mathematics to show, secondly, how Deleuze extends this dialectic beyond mathematics; finally, we make some considerations about the privilege given to mathematics in Deleuze’s developments on the virtual in Difference and Repetition.

Transformation and innovation of knowledge in the construction and sustainable function of housing at the headwaters of San Juan Chamula.

Alejandra Trujillo Miguel Sánchez Álvarez (2022, [Artículo, Artículo])

SUMMARY

 

San Juan Chamula, Chiapas, is one of the most representative cultures of the native peoples of Mexico. The municipal seat is made up of three main neighborhoods: San Juan, San Sebastián and San Pedro. In ancient times, the architectural design of the houses was made of materials such as straw, adobe, bajareque and others of organic origin, which were part of the natural environment of the inhabitants. Thus, houses were built based on the use of natural elements available to the inhabitants as a result of the use of primary sector activity.

 

From the Chamula worldview housing has played functions for rest and shelter, therefore it was considered as a sacred place. When building one, ceremonies and offerings were carried out to appease any disgust of the guardians of Mother Earth, as they considered that nature had life, and to avoid any misfortune among the members of the family. For this, it was necessary to offer music, songs, and special dishes to feed the house and the Earth, so there would be harmony and well-being. Today, that worldview has been disrupted by the presence of multiple religions and other factors.

 

Chamula housing has gone through different stages of transition, from 1990 onwards, it was made of materials such as bricks, blocks and cement. With international migration and the arrival of young Chamula in the United States, changes in the building styles and function of housing are observed, as well as a loss of Chamula-type architectural knowledge, so that traditional architectural knowledge remains only with the elderly. Nowadays, Chamula masons and house builders opt for a foreign architectural design like California, thus changing their cultural identity, their way of life and their relationship with nature.
