The temperature, velocity, and sea level fields for a summer climatological month (August) were analyzed using tridimensional and baroclinic model outputs in Todos Santos Bay (TSB), Baja California, Mexico. The numerical model was forced with wind (nonstationary), heat flux, and California Current System climatology on the open boundary. The 3- to 5-day current variability is related to a baroclinic wave traveling towards the northwest of the bay. Wave travel periodicity was due to the release of accumulated water from the Ensenada–Punta Banda Estuary (E–PBE) region. Local wind stress causes southeastward water flow and, given the TSB geometry, water accumulates in the E–PBE region. Weakening wind stress was the main cause of water release. In addition, complex empirical ortogonal function analysis found that outer TSB disturbances cause sea level variability.

THE RIGHT TO THE CITY AND URBAN-RURAL LINKAGES. COMMUNITY PARTICIPATION IN THE METROPOLITAN AREA OF TUXTLA GUTIERREZ, CHIAPAS.

Briseida Corzo Rivera Gabriel Castañeda Nolasco (2023, [Artículo, Artículo])

Access to water is a common struggle of the communities in the state of Chiapas, with the effects of urban expansion these struggles increase and with them the challenges that these populations already face, having a greater impact on the rural environment. The struggles to satisfy this basic need are a factor that has triggered processes that promote community participation. Based on a qualitative analysis, this paper compares two existing forms of participation in the rural communities of the Metropolitan Area of Tuxtla Gutierrez that allow the population to manage actions to improve their quality of life. The objective is to analyze how these processes promote or restrict the empowerment of the community and allow progress, not only in the population's access to water, but also in the construction of the right to the city. From the urban-rural linkages, the right to the city is discussed beyond the city, addressing other territories. The study identifies factors that show changes in the participation of the populations and strengthen the community, as well as factors in the relationships of the community and of the community with other actors that limit the scope of the processes.

Influence of poverty concerns on demand for healthier processed foods: A field experiment in Mexico City

Marrit Van den Berg Jason Donovan (2023, [Artículo])

Living in poverty can present cognitive biases that exacerbate constraints to achieving healthier diets. Better diets could imply food choice upgrades within certain food categories, such as electing processed foods with an improved nutritional profile. This study evaluated the influence of monetary and health concerns on the willingness to pay (WTP) for healthier processed foods in a low-income section of Mexico City. We employed priming techniques from the scarcity literature, which are applied for the first time to healthier food purchasing behaviours in low-income settings. Our predictions are based on a dual system framework, with choices resulting from the interaction of deliberative and affective aspects. The WTP was elicited through a BDM mechanism with 423 participants. Results showed that induced poverty concerns reduced the valuations of one of the study's healthier food varieties by 0.17 standard deviations. The latter effect did not differ by income level. The WTP for a healthier bread product but one with relatively high sugar and fat content was reduced by induced poverty concerns only among certain consumers without bread purchasing restrictions (78% of the sample). Potential mechanisms were assessed through regression analysis and structural equation modelling. The relationship between poverty concerns and WTP was mediated by increased levels of stress. While we could not rule out impact on cognitive load, it was not deemed a mediator in this study. Our findings signal that improvements in economic and psychological well-being among low-income consumers may aid to increase their demand for healthier processed foods.

Ubicación y caracterización de zonas de peligro de inundación por marea de tormenta en las costas de México

SAUL MIRANDA ALONSO (2008, [Documento de trabajo])

El propósito general de este proyecto es identificar y caracterizar las zonas costeras de México en peligro de inundación por marea de tormenta. En particular, determinar un conjunto de envolventes de trayectorias ciclónicas históricas y sintéticas producidas con modelación numérica, para implementar y calibrar un sistema que reproduzca escenarios probables de inundación costera; así como determinar periodos de retorno versus cota de inundación, además de elaborar el análisis de vulnerabilidad/peligrosidad y análisis extremo para las zonas identificadas. Para estudiar lo anterior, se generarán líneas de inundación a gran escala para todo el litoral mexicano, asociadas a diferentes periodos de retorno.

Electrocoagulation to remove silica from cooling towers water

IVAN EMMANUEL VILLEGAS MENDOZA ALEJANDRA MARTIN DOMINGUEZ SARA PEREZ CASTREJON Silvia Gelover Santiago (2014, [Artículo])

El presente artículo muestra los resultados de un estudio que se llevó a cabo para evaluar el efecto de la calidad del agua en la remoción de sílice disuelto mediante un proceso de electrocoagulación utilizando electrodos de aluminio. La sílice se encuentra en el agua de repuesto (RW) y de purga de las torres de enfriamiento (CTBW). Las pruebas se hicieron a escala semipiloto a flujo continuo en un tren de tratamiento consistente de electrocoagulación (EC), floculación, sedimentación y filtración en arena. Se estudiaron dos RW y CTBW, con características fisicoquímicas diferentes. Las variables de respuesta analizadas fueron las siguientes: eficiencia del aluminio para remover sílice (relación mgl-1 de Al3+ dosificado/mgl-1 de sílice removido), eficiencia de remoción de Al3+ dosificado, pérdida de carga hidráulica a través del reactor electroquímico y el voltaje. Se calculó el costo del tratamiento de los cuatro tipos de agua. La relación mgl-1 de Al3+ dosificado/mgl-1 de sílice removido osciló de 1.09 ± 0.06 a 1.33 ± 0.05 al tratar RW, mientras que para CTBW fue de 0.85 ± 0.1. Los costos de energía, sustancias químicas y consumo de electrodos para el tratamiento de RW osciló de US$0.52 a US$ 0.74 m-3, y el costo del tratamiento de CTBW fue de aproximadamente US$0.53 m-3.

Teacher training in the state of Chihuahua: Between the health challenge and teacher resilience

Evangelina Cervantes Holguín Pavel Roel Gutiérrez Sandoval Cely Celene Ronquillo Chávez (2023, [Artículo, Artículo])

The article proposes to recover the response of the Teacher Training and Updating Institutions in the state of Chihuahua regarding the various challenges imposed by the Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19). The qualitative exercise analyzes the experience of 10 institutions based on the voice of their students, teachers, and principals regarding changes in academic, administrative, and organizational processes. It is concluded that the pandemic has affected each institution in different ways and with diverse intensity. Despite the achievements, the experience analyzed reveals the relative success of the using virtual platforms in the face of three basic conditions: connectivity, technological competencies, and socio-emotional skills of the teaching staff. It highlights the importance of implementing tutoring, resilience, or awareness actions of teachers and students' needs, feelings, and sufferings. It is opportune to recover the experiences of other institutions and to question especially students, thesis students and graduates.
