Shopping centers at zmcm. The companies, location and production of a neoliberal urban space

Dante-Guillermo Celis-Galindo (2021, [Artículo, Artículo])

This work aims to analyze different aspects of shopping center at the Metropolitan Zone of Mexico City as location, opening year and developer company. Also it will identify diverse characteristics, economic and political phases in the country as well as the role of the development companies and shopping centers as a producers of a neoliberal urban space. This paper presents the way shopping centers importance has growth and how it had become in a neoliberal city characteristic; with this the characteristics of these urban works are visualized and related with their construction companies and local governments which has caused the transformation of the city. After conducting a census, with more than two hundred shopping centers, the study was delimited to those with the greatest significance by size, location and developer. At the beginning of the paper, the characteristics that shopping malls should have for the realization of this work are mentioned. In a first section an approach is made to the theoretical elements of the city and the shopping center and therefore identifying the developers that most  nfluence this process; the second section addresses the characteristics of places by location and the characteristics that urban planners have depending on the area where they are; the third section discusses the years of opening, the squares and relates to government administrations and the economic characteristics of the country; and finally, a tour of the urban regulations in Mexico City and its latest modifications is made.

EECTO DE NANOESTRUCTURAS ORO-SÍLICE EN ARTRITIS REUMATOIDE INDUCIDA POR COLÁGENA

ROSA ISELA RUVALCABA ONTIVEROS (2023, [Tesis de doctorado])

La artritis reumatoide (AR) es una enfermedad inflamatoria autoinmune crónica que

afecta a las articulaciones y causa un daño progresivo que, en la ausencia de un

tratamiento adecuado, puede terminar en discapacidad. Se caracteriza por un

reclutamiento excesivo de células inflamatorias dentro de la membrana sinovial que

conlleva a hiperplasia sinovial, neovascularización, erosión secundaria de cartílago y

hueso y posteriormente la destrucción de la articulación y su deformación. Además de

las características articulares, la inflamación sistemática que presenta la AR repercute

negativamente a nivel sistémico afectando varios órganos, incluyendo las estructuras

cardiovasculares (McInnes & Schett, 2011).

Las sales de oro han demostrado ser eficaces en el control de algunos pacientes con AR

(Massai et al., 2021) y otros padecimientos relacionados como el lupus eritematoso

sistémico (Wallace, 2013) y la artritis psoriásica (Salvarani et al., 1989). Sin embargo, su

uso ha sido limitado en las últimas décadas por la llegada de terapias presumiblemente

más seguras y efectivas. Al aplicar estos tratamientos, los iones de oro se unen a la

albúmina y su vida promedio esta entre los 5 y 7 días (Balfourier et al., 2020). Sin

embargo, después de varios tratamientos, su vida media se eleva y sus trazas son

detectables en varios tejidos incluyendo el hígado, riñones y membrana sinovial. Estas

trazas pueden permanecer en el tejido por décadas (James et al., 2015) y probablemente

de manera indefinida debido a que los iones de oro provenientes de las sales se

combinan con el azufre formando aurosomas que aparecen como vesículas densas

intracelulares (Yamashita, 2021).

Aun así, los efectos benéficos de las sales de oro en el control del proceso inflamatorio

y la remisión sostenida por una porción de los pacientes siguen siendo de interés en la

búsqueda de tratamientos efectivos para AR y condiciones relacionadas. Por esta razón

y gracias a los avances en nanotecnología, se han desarrollado métodos alternativos

para el tratamiento de la AR con oro, ya sea en forma de nanopartículas (Jhun et al.,

2020; Kirdaite et al., 2019; Leonavičienė et al., 2012; Sumbayev et al., 2013) o

nanoestructuras de oro combinadas con polímeros (Yaqoob et al., 2020) que podrían ser

una estrategia más segura de acarrear compuestos de oro dentro de la membrana

sinovial inflamada.

Los modelos animales son un paso crucial para evaluar nuevas terapias en AR (Hong et

al., 2020). Particularmente, la AIC en

Dime qué comes y te diré quién eres: la dieta de las plantas carnívoras

RODRIGO STEFANO DUNO Lilia Lorena Can Itza (2023, [Artículo])

El mundo de las plantas carnívoras es fascinante; este heterogéneo grupo de plantas con flores se ha estudiado desde todo punto de vista. Algunos científicos se han dedicado a la sistemática, otros a la anatomía y otros a la ecología, en particular a la interacción planta-animal. Sin duda, es uno de los grupos de plantas que más atención reciben ¿Sabes de qué se alimentan?

Educación del diseño en el futuro. Híbrida, sustentable y especializada

Rubén Sahagún Angulo (2023, [Capítulo de libro])

Las disciplinas del Diseño, como otras, sobre todo en escuelas de las grandes ciudades, deberán ofertar sus carreras a distancia para reducir significativamente los problemas asociados a la movilidad y la segregación socioespacial de sus estudiantes. También deberán revisar sus planes de estudio para verter los temas de la sustentabilidad de manera transversal. Finalmente, las especialidades serán una vía para que los profesionales del Diseño regresen a la Universidad a prepararse, en lugar de ofrecer únicamente maestrías y doctorados que, en su mayoría, son cursados por profesores o investigadores.

Design disciplines, like others, especially in schools in large cities, should offer their degrees online to significantly reduce the problems associated with mobility and socio-spatial segregation of their students. Also, they should review their study plans to cover sustainability issues in a transversal way. Finally, the specialties will be a way for design professionals to return to the University to prepare, instead of only offering master’s and doctoral degrees, which are mostly taken by professors or researchers.

Enhancing maize yield in a conservation agriculture-based maize (Zea mays)- wheat (Triticum aestivum) system through efficient nitrogen management

C.M. Parihar Hari Sankar Nayak Dipaka Ranjan Sena Shankar Lal Jat Mahesh Gathala Upendra Singh (2023, [Artículo])

This study evaluated the impact of contrasting tillage and nitrogen management options on the growth, yield attributes, and yield of maize (Zea mays L.) in a conservation agriculture (CA)-based maize-wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) system. The field experiment was conducted during the rainy (kharif) seasons of 2020 and 2021 at the research farm of ICAR-Indian Agricultural Research Institute (IARI), New Delhi. The experiment was conducted in a split plot design with three tillage practices [conventional tillage with residue (CT), zero tillage with residue (ZT) and permanent beds with residue (PB)] as main plot treatments and in sub-plots five nitrogen management options [Control (without N fertilization), recommended dose of N @150 kg N/ha, Green Seeker-GS based application of split applied N, N applied as basal through urea super granules-USG + GS based application and 100% basal application of slow release fertilizer (SRF) @150 kg N/ha] with three replications. Results showed that both tillage and nitrogen management options had a significant impact on maize growth, yield attributes, and yield in both seasons. However, time to anthesis and physiological maturity were not significantly affected. Yield attributes were highest in the permanent beds and zero tillage plots, with similar numbers of grains per cob (486.1 and 468.6). The highest leaf area index (LAI) at 60 DAP was observed in PB (5.79), followed by ZT(5.68) and the lowest was recorded in CT (5.25) plots. The highest grain yield (2-year mean basis) was recorded with permanent beds plots (5516 kg/ha), while the lowest

was observed with conventional tillage (4931 kg/ha). Therefore, the study highlights the importance of CA practices for improving maize growth and yield, and suggests that farmers can achieve better results through the adoption of CA-based permanent beds and use of USG as nitrogen management option.

We explored the potential of different nanoparticles (TiO2, CaCO3, and Al2O3), considering their pure form and modified with cinnamon essential oil (CEO). These materials were characterized using various techniques, including FTIR spectroscopy, XRD analysis, TGA, and SEM. The interaction between CEO and nanoparticles changed depending on the nanoparticle type. Al2O3 nanoparticles exhibited the strongest interaction with CEO, increasing their antioxidant capacity by around 40% and their transfer of antimicrobial properties, particularly against Gram-negative bacteria. In contrast, TiO2 and CaCO3 nanoparticles showed limited interaction with CEO, resulting in lower antioxidant capacity and antimicrobial activity. Incorporating pure and CEO-modified nanoparticles into polylactic acid (PLA) films improved their mechanical and thermal properties, which are suitable for applications requiring greater strength. This research highlights the potential of metal oxide nanoparticles to enhance the antimicrobial and antioxidant capabilities of polymers. In addition, incorporating cinnamon essential oil can increase the antioxidant and antimicrobial effectiveness of the metal oxide nanoparticles and improve the mechanical and thermal properties of PLA films. Thus, these PLA films exhibit favorable characteristics for active packaging applications.
