The public-private confluence of interests between urban and real estate marketing. The case of the Mitikah Ciudad Viva project

ANA PAULA MONTES RUIZ (2021, [Artículo, Artículo])

The shift from a managerial to an entrepreneurial approach establishes a new form of urban governance based on a broader coalition of forces in which public-private partnerships have taken place. The Xoco-Mitikah urban conflict shows that the confluence of interests between the real estate and urban tourism industry embraces the common goal of designing an urban experience that makes the competitive advantages of Southern Mexico City profitable for both. Mitikah’s real estate marketing analysis showed that, through the promotion highlights of the South, the conflictive socio-territorial relationships that emerge along with the construction of real estate megaprojects are emotionally and affectively mediated.

Risk aversion, impatience, and adoption of conservation agriculture practices among smallholders in Zambia

Hambulo Ngoma João Vasco Silva Frédéric Baudron Isaiah Nyagumbo Christian Thierfelder (2024, [Artículo])

Sustainable agricultural practices such as conservation agriculture have been promoted in southern Africa for nearly three decades, but their adoption remains low. It is of policy interest to unpack behavioural drivers of adoption to understand why adoption remains lower than anticipated. This paper assesses the effects of risk aversion and impatience on the extent and intensity of the adoption of conservation agriculture using panel data collected from 646 households in 2021 and 2022 in Zambia. We find that 12% and 18% of the smallholders were impatient and risk averse, respectively. There are two main empirical findings based on panel data Probit and Tobit models. First, on the extensive margin, being impatient is correlated with a decreased likelihood of adopting combined minimum-tillage (MT) and rotation by 2.9 percentage points and being risk averse is associated with a decreased propensity of adopting combined minimum tillage (MT) and mulching by 3.2 percentage points. Being risk averse is correlated with a decreased chance of adopting basins by 2.8 percentage points. Second, on the intensive margin, impatience and risk aversion are significantly correlated with reduced adoption intensity of basins, ripping, minimum tillage (MT), and combined MT and rotation by 0.02–0.22 ha. These findings imply a need to embed risk management (e.g., through crop yield insurance) in the scaling of sustainable agricultural practices to incentivise adoption. This can help to nudge initial adoption and to protect farmers from yield penalties that are common in experimentation stages.

Espirales del instante: los haikus de Hondonada de Jorge Tenorio

ABRAHAM PERALTA VELEZ (2019, [Artículo])

Artículo número 3 de la Sección Tema. 12 páginas. tyvlliii

El haiku, desde José Juan Tablada, se ha transculturalizado a las formas de la lírica hispánica, de tal manera que se puede apreciar, por ejemplo, el uso de rimas, de tropos clásicos de la retórica o una enunciación del yo lírico en devaneos elegiacos, celebratorios, filosóficos, etc. Sin embargo, el poeta mexicano, Jorge Tenorio, ha buscado acercarse al haiku, no desde la propia retórica hispánica a la que pertenece, evitando rimas, metáforas u otros tropos afines a la tradición iniciada por José Juan Tablada, sino a través de la idea del vacío del budismo zen, que tiene como consecuencia en la conformación del poemario Hondonada (2008) la expresión del tiempo discontinuo del instante, explicado por Gaston Bachelard, la expresión de la insubstancialidad del yo lírico, el origen dependiente de los fenómenos y el mostrar transparente, contemplativo, lo que está sucediendo en ese instante, a través del viaje en la intemperie, a la manera de Matsuo Bashō, como otra forma de asir ser, opuesto al tiempo de la acumulación y la conquista de la morada.

Haiku, from José Juan Tablada, has been transculturalized to the forms of Hispanic lyric, so that one can appreciate, for example, the use of rhymes, of classical rhetoric tropes or an enunciation of the lyrical self in elegiac rallies, celebratory, philosophical, etc. However, the Mexican poet, Jorge Tenorio, has sought to approach haiku, not from the Hispanic rhetoric to which it belongs, avoiding rhymes, metaphors or other tropes related to the tradition initiated by José Juan Tablada, but through the idea from the void of Zen Buddhism, which results in the conformation of the poem book Hondonada (2008), the expression of the discontinuous time of the instant, explained by Gaston Bachelard, the expression of the insubstantiality of the lyrical self, the dependent origin of phenomena and the display transparent, contemplative, what is happening at that moment, through the trip in the open, in the manner of Matsuo Basho, as another way of asserting itself, as opposed to the time of accumulation and conquest of the abode.

Offshore wind energy climate projection using UPSCALE climate data under the RCP8.5 emission scenario

MARKUS SEBASTIAN GROSS (2016, [Artículo])

In previous work, the authors demonstrated how data from climate simulations can be utilized to estimate regional wind power densities. In particular, it was shown that the quality of wind power densities, estimated from the UPSCALE global dataset in offshore regions of Mexico, compared well with regional high resolution studies. Additionally, a link between surface temperature and moist air density in the estimates was presented. UPSCALE is an acronym for UK on PRACE (the Partnership for Advanced Computing in Europe)-weather-resolving Simulations of Climate for globAL Environmental risk. The UPSCALE experiment was performed in 2012 by NCAS (National Centre for Atmospheric Science)- Climate, at the University of Reading and the UK Met Office Hadley Centre. The study included a 25.6-year, five-member ensemble simulation of the HadGEM3 global atmosphere, at 25km resolution for present climate conditions. The initial conditions for the ensemble runs were taken from consecutive days of a test configuration. In the present paper, the emphasis is placed on the single climate run for a potential future climate scenario in the UPSCALE experiment dataset, using the Representation Concentrations Pathways (RCP) 8.5 climate change scenario. Firstly, some tests were performed to ensure that the results using only one instantiation of the current climate dataset are as robust as possible within the constraints of the available data. In order to achieve this, an artificial time series over a longer sampling period was created. Then, it was shown that these longer time series provided almost the same results than the short ones, thus leading to the argument that the short time series is sufficient to capture the climate. Finally, with the confidence that one instantiation is sufficient, the future climate dataset was analysed to provide, for the first time, a projection of future changes in wind power resources using the UPSCALE dataset. It is hoped that this, in turn, will provide some guidance for wind power developers and policy makers to prepare and adapt for climate change impacts on wind energy production. Although offshore locations around Mexico were used as a case study, the dataset is global and hence the methodology presented can be readily applied at any desired location. © Copyright 2016 Gross, Magar.
