Potential impacts of Ukraine-Russia armed conflict on global wheat food security: A quantitative exploration

Khondoker Mottaleb Gideon Kruseman Sieglinde Snapp (2022, [Artículo])

Violent conflict is a major cause of acute food crises. In 2021, at least 155 million people in 10 countries were severely food insecure and eight of those countries were experiencing armed conflict. On February 24, 2022, an armed conflict between Russian Federation (Russia) and Ukraine escalated. As Russia and Ukraine are major wheat exporters, this will aggravate the already precarious food security situation in many developing countries by disrupting wheat production and export and by accelerating price hikes in import-dependent developing countries. This study examines the potential impacts of this ongoing armed conflict between Russia and Ukraine on wheat price, consumption, and calorie intake from wheat. In doing so, it applies the conditional mixed process estimation procedure using information collected from 163 countries and territories for the years 2016–2019 from online database of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO). The study shows that, on average, a 1% decrease in the global wheat trade could increase the producers' price of wheat by 1.1%, and a 1% increase in the producers' price could reduce the yearly per capita wheat consumption by 0.59%, daily calorie intake by 0.54% and protein intake by 0.64% in the sampled countries. Based on this, the study demonstrates that a 50% reduction in wheat exports by Russia and Ukraine could increase the producers’ price of wheat by 15%, which would induce a reduction in wheat consumption and dietary energy intake by at least 8%. Since wheat export has reduced from both Russia and Ukraine, to avoid a food crisis in developing countries, policies are suggested, including near term improvement of domestic wheat production by promoting improved agronomic practices to close yield gaps to meet a substantial portion of wheat self-sufficiency goals. In the long run, countries in Africa, East Asia and South America can explore expanding wheat into new land area. International donor agencies can play a key role in supporting the ongoing wheat research and development activities.

Potential impact of prosthetic biomaterials on the periodontium: a comprehensive review.

NATIVIDAD CASTRO ALARCON Artak Heboyan Gustavo Fernandes Norma Samanta Romero Castro (2023, [Artículo])

The success of a prosthetic treatment is closely related to the periodontal health of the individual. The aim of this article was to review and present the importance of prosthetic restorative materials on the condition of the periodontium, the changes that occur in the composition of the subgingival microbiota and the levels of inflammatory markers in gingival crevicular fluid. Articles on the influence of different prosthetic restorative materials on subgingival microbiota and proinflammatory cytokines were searched for using the keywords ¿prosthetic biomaterials¿, ¿fixed prosthesis¿, ¿periodontal health¿, ¿subgingival microbiota¿, ¿periodontal biomarkers¿ and ¿gingival crevicular fluid¿ in PubMed/Medline, Science Direct, Scopus and Google Scholar. The type of material used for prosthesis fabrication together with poor marginal and internal fit can result in changes in the composition of the subgingival microbiota, as well as increased accumulation and retention of dentobacterial plaque, thus favoring the development of periodontal disease and prosthetic treatment failure. Biological markers have helped to understand the inflammatory response of different prosthetic materials on periodontal tissues with the main purpose of improving their clinical application

in patients who need them. Metal-free ceramic prostheses induce a lower inflammatory response regardless of the fabrication method; however, the use of CAD/CAM systems is recommended for their fabrication. In addition, it is presumed that metal-ceramic prostheses cause changes in the composition of the subgingival microbiota producing a more dysbiotic biofilm with a higher prevalence of periodontopathogenic bacteria, which may further favor periodontal deterioration.

Asociaciones publico privadas y seguridad alimentaria. Un estudio exploratorio en el ámbito agrícola en México.

MARIELA DIAZ SANDOVAL ALBERTO ESPEJEL ESPINOZA (2018, [Capítulo de libro])

En México, las asociaciones público-privadas han sido utilizadas desde hace algunos años en el ámbito agroalimentario como una respuesta a la pobreza y a los problemas asociados a ella, como es el acceso a alimentos. De acuerdo con datos del coneval, 50.9 millones de mexicanos se encuentran en situación de inseguridad alimentaria.3 en adición, las décadas de abandono al campo han generado insuficiencia en la producción de alimentos, lo cual se muestra en el déficit entre importaciones y exportaciones. Ante esta situación, organismos financieros y de desarrollo han impulsado desde hace más de una década la participación del sector privado en el financiamiento del sector agrícola.

Por su parte, gobiernos como el mexicano han generado condiciones institucionales para impulsar las alianzas público-privadas en el campo. En este sentido, el objeto de investigación de este capítulo es un análisis de corte cualitativo sobre dos casos: el fondo de capitalización e inversión del sector rural (FOCIR) y MasAgro.

Si bien se han impulsado con gran ahínco las asociaciones público-privadas en nuestro país, la experiencia internacional evidencia las limitaciones de este esquema para asegurar el derecho a alimentos de calidad y para impulsar el bienestar económico y social de la población

Instruments, allies or adversaries: the presence of the media in the legislations of Mexican states

Salvador De-León-Vázquez (2023, [Artículo, Artículo])

In this article, we analyze how the media are conceptualized in the legislation of Mexican states. Our starting point is the consideration that the rights of information and communication are recognized and guaranteed by General Constitution and federal laws, who has been thoroughly examined. However, there are very few studies focusing on state or local laws. The theoretical basis comes from discussions on media development and public communication. The methodology consisted of a cartography and subsequent argumentative analysis of a corpus of media-related articles in Mexican state legislations. The findings reveal three general media conceptualizations in the legal instruments examined: as instruments, as allies or as adversaries. The conclusions discuss the implications for democratic development.

Política de lo materno de dirigentes barriales en el espacio público

David Luján Veron ANÍBAL PÉREZ CONTRERAS (2023, [Artículo])

"En este artículo se analiza un conjunto de relatos de dirigentes vecinales, recabados a partir de dos investigaciones doctorales concluidas, con el objetivo de desvelar los distintos modos en que las mujeres invocan roles tradicionalmente asociados a lo femenino —protección, cuidado, maternidad— para legitimarse en el espacio público y participar en la política local. Se argumentará que las mujeres observadas participan en la configuración de una “política de lo materno” que, pese a reforzar estereotipos tradicionales sobre el rol de las mujeres, constituye un reservorio de experiencias, aprendizajes y prácticas que pueden ser leídas en clave de politización y construcción de ciudadanía".

Socio-spatial segregation of socio-environmental assets of public green spaces in the city of Durango, Mexico

Carlos Alejandro Custodio González Tania Ortiz Patricia Catalina Medina Pérez (2024, [Artículo, Artículo])

The current development model's accumulation logic has resulted in the emergence and consolidation of social processes like segregation, leading to differentiated access and availability of urban goods and services among social groups based on socioeconomic, ethnic, or societal standing. The current development model's accumulation logic has resulted in the emergence and consolidation of social processes like segregation, leading to differentiated access and availability of urban goods and services among social groups based on socioeconomic, ethnic, or societal standing. This disparity impacts employment levels, educational performance, urban decay, and environmental degradation. In this context, the article aims to examine the socio-spatial segregation in the access to socio-environmental amenities provided by public green spaces (EVP) in a medium-sized city, specifically Durango, Mexico. The analysis utilizes spatial analysis and statistical methods that involve five variables associated with EVPs: surface area, percentage, number, density, and the socioeconomic level of the population. A spatial pattern of segregation was identified through these variables, resulting in four clusters that impact how the city of Durango is inhabited, produced, reproduced, lived, and constructed.

The listening in the contemporary city. Theoretical approaches

Gustavo Alfonso Galván Cázares José Guadalupe Rivera González (2021, [Artículo, Artículo])

The present article sets out different theoretical approaches around the sound and the act of listening in the contemporary city as well as the processes of production and significance of the city through the mentioned act. The central goal of this writing is to contribute to the interdisciplinary discussions about the coupling of sound/ listening in the field of urban studies since the aforementioned dissertations are still scarce in the Latin American context. To this effect, firstly, listening as an epistemic means by which the city is learned is discussed. Afterwards, some implications about different global processes in the urbanites’ aural practices are analyzed. Lastly, the necessity of appealing to citizen’s listening as an essential element to consider throughout the planning, construction, remodeling and the plans of territorial restructuring as well as in every physical and symbolic transformation of the city is presented. In this context some theoretical premises about the experimentation of the public space through hearing, being aware of the sound as a component that allows an appropriation and significance of the space as well as an element of social cohesion and generator of identities are analyzed.

The conservation of the architectural heritage that is under the custody of the Mexican government has not been fully observed as a problem for the administration in this country. Apparently, avoiding the physical deterioration of public monuments, located in federal protection zones, has been a successful task. In contrast to this general perception, the way in which changes in government administration generate ruptures and disengagement in planning regarding ways to protect the architectural heritage was observed from the local level. That is why this research carries out a timely review, evidencing the problem that exists around government management to conserve monuments in the Historic Center of Morelia, from its incorporation as a site in the world heritage list in 1991 until the year of 2019 where a turn of national politics manifests. In order to identify, the level of incidence of the government to carry out actions around the protection of publicly owned historical monuments; The changes of political visions in the different administrative procedures are characterized by evaluating the physical state of the buildings and documenting the way in which the local vision has been gradually transformed in favor of its conservation. By contrasting the political will of several administrations with the restorations in the architectural facts, the methodological proposal provides a broadening of the spectrum of analysis. Which has the possibility of being used prior to practical decision making for asset protection. The review of the units of analysis revealed that the lack of continuity in government management around the heritage violates the conservation processes.

La conservación de patrimonio arquitectónico que se encuentra bajo resguardo del gobierno mexicano no ha sido considerada como una circunstancia digna de atención para las entidades encargadas del mismo. En apariencia, consideran que ha sido una tarea exitosa su labor de evitar el deterioro físico de los monumentos públicos ubicados en zonas de protección federal. En contraste a esta percepción generalizada, desde el ámbito local ha podido observarse que los cambios de administración de gobierno sólo han generado rupturas y desvinculaciones en la planeación respecto de las formas de proteger el patrimonio arquitectónico. Por ello, la presente investigación realiza una revisión puntual sobre dicha situación, evidenciando la problemática que existe en torno de la gestión gubernamental para conservar monumentos en el Centro Histórico de Morelia. El trabajo indaga en el periodo que va de 1991, cuando fue incorporado en la Lista de Patrimonio Mundial de la UNESCO, al año de 2019, donde se hizo patente un cambio de dirección en la política nacional. Con el objetivo de identificar el grado de incidencia del gobierno en las acciones relacionadas con la protección de monumentos históricos de propiedad pública, se analizan y definen las visiones políticas de las diferentes gestiones administrativas mediante la evaluación del estado físico de los inmuebles y se documenta la evolución paulatina de la visión local a favor de la conservación de los mismos. La propuesta metodológica del presente trabajo busca contrastar la voluntad política de varias administraciones con las restauraciones llevadas a cabo sobre los hechos arquitectónicos, logrando aportar un espectro de análisis más amplio. Así, se tiene posibilidad de utilizarla como base para tomar decisiones prácticas para la protección patrimonial. La revisión de las unidades de análisis reveló que la falta de continuidad en la gestión gubernamental en torno al patrimonio vulnera los procesos de conservación.
