Desarrollo y evaluación de un modelo de la onda cinemática aplicado al riego en melgas y su comparación con el modelo hidrológico

Development and evaluation of a kinematic wave model applied to border irrigation and comparison with the hydrologic model

Juan Manuel Angeles LUIS RENDON PIMENTEL OSCAR LUIS PALACIOS VELEZ RAFAEL ACOSTA HERNANDEZ (1998, [Artículo])

Durante la aplicación del agua de riego a los cultivos, en ciertos casos el agua debe suspenderse antes de que el frente de avance llegue al final de la melga, para así logar una mejor eficiencia de aplicación. Esta situación del escurrimiento superficial se presenta bien con la ecuación de la onda cinemática, que consiste en la simplificación de loas ecuaciones de Saint Venant. Se diseñó un programa de computadora que resuelve numéricamente la ecuación de la onda cinemática. El transporte del agua en el suelo se representó con la ecuación de infiltración propuesta por Green y Ampt. El modelo fue calibrado y evaluado con respecto a resultados de pruebas de riego aplicadas en un cultivo de trigo (Triticum aestivum L.) En la evaluación del modelo se obtuvo un cuadrado medio del error (CME) de 1.24 minutos para la fase de avance y de 0.68 para la recesión. Al comparar el modelo hidrológico con los datos de campo, el CME fue de 0.86 y de 1.04 minutos para el modelo de la onda cinemática y el hidrológico, respectivamente.

Current variability by wave propagation in Todos Santos Bay, Baja California

Variabilidad de corrientes por propagación de ondas en bahía Todos Santos, Baja California, México

EFRAIN MATEOS FARFAN SILVIO GUIDO LORENZO MARINONE MOSCHETTO (2017, [Artículo])

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.

Addressing agricultural labour issues is key to biodiversity-smart farming

Thomas Daum Frédéric Baudron Matin Qaim Ingo Grass (2023, [Artículo])

There is an urgent need for agricultural development strategies that reconcile agricultural production and biodiversity conservation. This is especially true in the Global South where population growth is rapid and much of the world's remaining biodiversity is located. Combining conceptual thoughts with empirical insights from case studies in Indonesia and Ethiopia, we argue that such strategies will have to pay more attention to agricultural labour dynamics. Farmers have a strong motivation to reduce the heavy toil associated with farming by adopting technologies that save labour but can negatively affect biodiversity. Labour constraints can also prevent farmers from adopting technologies that improve biodiversity but increase labour intensity. Without explicitly accounting for labour issues, conservation efforts can hardly be successful. We hence highlight the need for biodiversity-smart agriculture, that is farming practices or systems that reconcile biodiversity with land and labour productivity. Our empirical insights suggest that technological and institutional options to reconcile farmers' socio-economic goals and biodiversity conservation exist but that more needs to be done to implement such options at scale.

Abduction according to Peirce: reflections from the south on the crisis of representation brought on by COVID-19

Paulina Aroch (2023, [Artículo, Artículo])

In this article, I reflect on the importance of abductive thinking for processes of material and conceptual reinvention in the context of the current public health crisis. Inseparable from the climate change engulfing the planet, this crisis provides the basis for a semiotic revolution. Therefore, I interrogate Peirce’s work without losing sight of my own time and place of interlocution. COVID-19 has brought with it a crisis of representation which, in contrast to that unleashed by the Holocaust and World War II, and to which the Frankfurt School responded, demands responses from the Global South. Beginning from Dussel’s call to defend life as a matter of ethical urgency in the face of its irresponsible objectification within colonial capitalist modernity –which arguably triggered the pandemic–, I trace a “nocturnal map” that registers the present meaning-making crisis, and allows for a reimagining and remaking of the world from elsewhere.

Modular ontology to support manufacturing SMEs toward industry 4.0

ZAIDA ANTONIETA MORA ALVAREZ OSCAR HERNANDEZ URIBE RAMON ALBERTO LUQUE MORALES LEONOR ADRIANA CARDENAS ROBLEDO (2023, [Artículo])

Industry 4.0 (I4.0) implementation is a hot topic among manufacturing organizations to reach smart factory status and integrate a fully connected ecosystem. Achieving such a transition presents notable challenges for Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) since they often face resource and skilled personnel limitations. This study developed a domain ontology to represent various stages of maturity toward I4.0 implementation. Ontology provides a tool for SMEs to self-assess in situations of machines, processes, and factories for the dimensions of control, integration, and intelligence. This study focused on the identification of classes and relationships according to I4.0 implementation situations in the context of a manufacturing setting, the reuse of ontologies related to the domain of observations to model situations, and the creation and validation of the ontology through the information obtained from the questionnaires applied to SMEs. Finally, the ontology delivers a tool to understand SMEs' current state concerning I4.0 implementation and plan based on informed decisions about the maturity state and the technology required to advance to the next stage in their manufacturing processes.

Alternative cropping and feeding options to enhance sustainability of mixed crop-livestock farms in Bangladesh

Timothy Joseph Krupnik Jeroen Groot (2024, [Artículo])

We investigated alternative cropping and feeding options for large (>10 cows), medium (5–10 cows) and small (≤4 cows) mixed crop – livestock farm types, to enhance economic and environmental performance in Jhenaidha and Meherpur districts – locations with increasing dairy production – in south western Bangladesh. Following focus group discussions with farmers on constraints and opportunities, we collected baseline data from one representative farm from each farm size class per district (six in total) to parameterize the whole-farm model FarmDESIGN. The six modelled farms were subjected to Pareto-based multi-objective (differential evolution algorithm) optimization to generate alternative dairy farm and fodder configurations. The objectives were to maximize farm profit, soil organic matter balance, and feed self-reliance, in addition to minimizing feed costs and soil nitrogen losses as indicators of sustainability. The cropped areas of the six baseline farms ranged from 0.6 to 4.0 ha and milk production per cow was between 1,640 and 3,560 kg year−1. Feed self-reliance was low (17%–57%) and soil N losses were high (74–342 kg ha−1 year−1). Subsequent trade-off analysis showed that increasing profit and soil organic matter balance was associated with higher risks of N losses. However, we found opportunities to improve economic and environmental performance simultaneously. Feed self-reliance could be increased by intensifying cropping and substituting fallow periods with appropriate fodder crops. For the farm type with the largest opportunity space and room to manoeuvre, we identified four strategies. Three strategies could be economically and environmentally benign, showing different opportunities for farm development with locally available resources.

Geopolítica en los tiempos de Trump: política internacional y aspectos institucionales de la relación México-Guatemala

Carlos A. Heredia (2020, [Libro])

La región transfronteriza México-Guatemala tiene una importancia geopolítica y económica de la cual pocos mexicanos somos conscientes. Es impostergable fortalecer su estudio y análisis. Los desafíos allí existentes son manifestaciones de fenómenos que se extienden hacia el interior de cada país. Este libro consta de dos partes. La primera versa sobre la política internacional y en especial sobre el papel geopolítico de Washington en la región en estudio. En la segunda se realiza un análisis institucional de los factores que impactan la relación bilateral desde la perspectiva histórica, diplomática, comercial y cultural. Los desafíos que enfrentamos no son menores: una terrible crisis humanitaria de migrantes y solicitantes de asilo centroamericanos, quienes desde la narrativa predominante son criminalizados; el despliegue del crimen organizado, y una visión reduccionista de la seguridad que busca controlar a la gente, no tanto a las mercancías o las drogas. El funcionamiento de los mecanismos y acuerdos de cooperación bilaterales está marcado por la asimetría y la baja capacidad de las instituciones. La construcción de un futuro compartido entre Guatemala y México requiere plantear responsabilidades y respuestas conjuntas. Las personas autoras de los capítulos somos investigadores en seis centros públicos de investigación del Consejo Nacional de Ciencia y Tecnología. Planteamos que una buena política exterior comienza dando la mayor prioridad a la relación con los vecinos. El reto de mayor envergadura es transitar hacia la promoción de oportunidades productivas, de inversión y comerciales, para un desarrollo sostenible e incluyente, con una mejor calidad de vida de los habitantes de la región. La construcción de la confianza recíproca deberá agregar la participación de actores empresariales, académicos, laborales, eclesiales y de organismos de la sociedad civil. Este libro representa nuestra contribución a estas tareas estratégicas y urgentes.

Institutionalization of leftist utopias in Latin America: a case study

Guillem Compte Nunes (2023, [Artículo, Artículo])

Faced with popular dissatisfaction with liberal-capitalist democracy, at the beginning of the 21st century there is a governmental shift to the left in Latin America, in which Mexico is recently participating, with the arrival of the Morena party to power. The social movements that promote these political projects convey leftist utopias that seek to institutionalize themselves in political systems and public policies. However, this process of utopian institutionalization presents tensions and contradictions within the so-called party-movements. In this paper I present a methodological proposal for utopian analysis, which I apply to the “Colectivo La Calle”, a group that is part of the lopezobradorista movement in Mexico. I analyze three utopias mediated by this group and find that indeed the Colectivo is mobilizing against Morena’s pragmatism. This result adds to previous literature, which, given contemporary governmental experiences, questions the ability of the Latin American institutional left to overcome conservative hegemony.
