Habitability conditions for floods: the case of Tuxtla Gutiérrez, Chiapas, Mexico

MARCELINO GARCIA BENITEZ Saul Nucamendi Hernandez Omar Ávila Flores (2022, [Artículo, Artículo])

At present, there are changes in the environment that favor the presence of extreme climatic phenomena such as floods, this exposure implies that the populations of urban areas suffer effects on their material assets, which limits their capacity for individual and / or family development. Given the lack of local territorial planning, the establishment of colonies was allowed on the banks of the Sabinal river and its tributaries that present episodes of flooding during the rainy season (Sistema Municipal de Protección Civil, 2015).

 

The study evaluates the habitability conditions of the urban population exposed to flooding, the city of Tuxtla Gutiérrez, Chiapas is taken as a reference, since historically it is a recurring problem during the summer. The methodology interrelates geostatistical, spatial and cartographic databases with hemerographic information sources based on the review of the literature for the construction of the general index, determined in dimensions that group social, economic, educational aspects, availability of basic services, goods with those that count the dwellings and their accessibility, etc., on a geographical scale of Urban Geostatistical Areas (AGEB).

 

The results obtained generated an index on the distribution of habitability conditions by urban Ageb, they are interrelated with spatial data on floods and their relationship with Sustainable Development Goal 11 (ODS), which proposes to improve infrastructure conditions in cities and towns. sustainable communities so that the inequality originated among the population exposed to future extreme flood events that occur in the different areas that make up the city is reduced.

Genetic analysis of Vibrio parahaemolyticus O3:K6 strains that have been isolated in Mexico since 1998

CARLOS ABRAHAM GUERRERO RUIZ (2017, [Artículo])

Vibrio parahaemolyticus is an important human pathogen that has been isolated worldwide from clinical cases, most of which have been associated with seafood consumption. Environmental and clinical toxigenic strains of V. parahaemolyticus that were isolated in Mexico from 1998 to 2012, including those from the only outbreak that has been reported in this country, were characterized genetically to assess the presence of the O3:K6 pandemic clone, and their genetic relationship to strains that are related to the pandemic clonal complex (CC3). Pathogenic tdh+ and tdh+/trh+ strains were analyzed by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) and multilocus sequence typing (MLST). Also, the entire genome of a Mexican O3:K6 strain was sequenced. Most of the strains were tdh/ORF8-positive and corresponded to the O3:K6 serotype. By PFGE and MLST, there was very close genetic relationship between ORF8/O3:K6 strains, and very high genetic diversities from non-pandemic strains. The genetic relationship is very close among O3:K6 strains that were isolated in Mexico and sequences that were available for strains in the CC3, based on the PubMLST database. The whole-genome sequence of CICESE-170 strain had high similarity with that of the reference RIMD 2210633 strain, and harbored 7 pathogenicity islands, including the 4 that denote O3:K6 pandemic strains. These results indicate that pandemic strains that have been isolated in Mexico show very close genetic relationship among them and with those isolated worldwide. © 2017 Guerrero et al.

Rapid effects of marine reserves via larval dispersal

Richard Cudney Bueno (2009, [Artículo])

Marine reserves have been advocated worldwide as conservation and fishery management tools. It is argued that they can protect ecosystems and also benefit fisheries via density-dependent spillover of adults and enhanced larval dispersal into fishing areas. However, while evidence has shown that marine reserves can meet conservation targets, their effects on fisheries are less understood. In particular, the basic question of if and over what temporal and spatial scales reserves can benefit fished populations via larval dispersal remains unanswered. We tested predictions of a larval transport model for a marine reserve network in the Gulf of California, Mexico, via field oceanography and repeated density counts of recently settled juvenile commercial mollusks before and after reserve establishment. We show that local retention of larvae within a reserve network can take place with enhanced, but spatially-explicit, recruitment to local fisheries. Enhancement occurred rapidly (2 yrs), with up to a three-fold increase in density of juveniles found in fished areas at the downstream edge of the reserve network, but other fishing areas within the network were unaffected. These findings were consistent with our model predictions. Our findings underscore the potential benefits of protecting larval sources and show that enhancement in recruitment can be manifested rapidly. However, benefits can be markedly variable within a local seascape. Hence, effects of marine reserve networks, positive or negative, may be overlooked when only focusing on overall responses and not considering finer spatially-explicit responses within a reserve network and its adjacent fishing grounds. Our results therefore call for future research on marine reserves that addresses this variability in order to help frame appropriate scenarios for the spatial management scales of interest. © 2009 Cudney-Bueno et al.

DESACTIVACIÓN DE FLUORESCENCIA COMO PRINCIPIO DE BIODETECCIÓN DE PROTEÍNAS

Edwin Johan Ortiz Riaño (2020, [Tesis de maestría])

"En nuestros días los inmunoensayos son la principal herramienta para el diagnóstico médico, el desarrollo de fármacos y el monitoreo medioambiental. Sin embargo, la mayoría de los inmunoensayos involucran procedimientos que requieren de muchos elementos para su desarrollo. En el presente trabajo, se desarrolló una novedosa plataforma de biosensado para la detección de IgG humana basada en el apagamiento de fluorescencia causada por el óxido de grafeno. Se utilizó solo un anticuerpo (conjugado con el fluoróforo isotiocianato de fluoresceína) en los procesos de captura y detección sin la necesidad de etapas de lavado. La simple plataforma de biosensado consiste en el recubrimiento de una microplaca de 96 pocillos (con fondo de poliestireno) con óxido de grafeno. La adhesión del óxido de grafeno es posible gracias a interacciones electrostáticas entre el óxido de grafeno (negativamente cargado) y la superficie de la placa modificada con grupos aminos (positivamente cargados). Cuando se agregó el analito y el anticuerpo (conjugado con el fluoróforo) se realizó una cinética durante dos horas con lecturas cada 5 minutos de la intensidad de fluorescencia, observando que cuanto mayor era la concentración del analito menor era el apagamiento de fluorescencia. Esta propuesta mostró una excelente detección para IgG humana, con una aceptable precisión (desde 0.27 % hasta 4.80 %). El límite de detección alcanzado fue 2.71 ng mL y el límite de cuantificación alcanzado fue de 15.5 ng mL. De igual forma, fue posible la cuantificación de concentraciones desconocidas del analito dentro de un rango aceptable de exactitud (desde 73 % hasta 126 %). Todo esto hace de esta plataforma de biosensado una buena opción para la detección de diversos tipos de analitos (biomarcadores) con potencial futuro en diagnóstico."

A la búsqueda de un canon literario mexicano: de El Recreo de las Familias a El Renacimiento

ANDREAS KURZ ESSMEISTER (2009, [Artículo])

El siguiente trabajo presenta los esfuerzos de las revistas culturales mexicanas del siglo XIX en la búsqueda de un canon literario propio. Dicha empresa fue muy complicada, en primer lugar por la situación política inestable del país, así como por la constante indecisión sobre qué influencias aceptar y cuáles rechazar. La elección final se vio determinada en buena medida por motivos políticos, lo cual no la hace menos valiosa.
