Authors: Ismail Ismail , Yunarso Eka Widhi
Published: November 2016

Plagiarisme adalah penggunaan tulisan orang lain dalam tulisan sendiri tanpa memberikan kredit terhadap penulis asli. Tindakan ini membuat pembaca menganggap tulisan tersebut asli dan bukan kutipan. Plagiarisme melanggar kode etik dalam karya ilmiah. Untuk itu, adanya aplikasi yang membantu mendeteksi potensi plagiarisme sebuah tulisan sangatlah penting. Paper ini menguraikan hasil implementasi aplikasi berbasis web pendeteksi plagiarisme menggunakan algoritma berbasis himpunan kata dari Küppers. Oleh karena tidak adanya corpus Bahasa Indonesia untuk evaluasi algoritma pendeteksi plagiarisme, pengujian tidak dievaluasi menggunakan penilaian standar, seperti recall, precision, dan granularity. Hasil pengujian ditunjukkan dengan nilai yang menjadi ukuran kemiripan dokumen yang diuji dengan dokumen lain yang ada di basisdata. Secara rata-rata, didapatkan nilai potensi sebesar 0,8 untuk paragraf-paragraf yang sama persis, 0,6 untuk paragraf yang merupakan hasil pengubahan kata atau tanda baca, dan 0,4 untuk paragraf-paragraf yang merupakan hasil penulisan ulang

Perkembangan teknologi telekomunikasi yang semakin pesat, membuat para operator dan vendor telekomunikasi harus dapat menyediakan layanan telekomunikasi yang aman, cepat, dan multi guna, untuk mendorong terciptanya ekosistem layanan telekomunikasi yang beragam bagi para penggunanya. Next Generation Network (NGN) merupakan sebuah teknologi masa depan yang mendukung beberapa layanan terintegrasi seperti voice, data, dan multimedia. Hal utama dari konsep NGN adalah konvergensi dan layanan yang berbasis IP sehingga diperlukan sebuah teknologi yang dikenal dengan IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS). Agar pengiriman data dalam layanan IMS menjadi lebih efektif dan efisien maka diperlukan sebuah teori antrian yang tepat untuk digunakan sebagai pengatur aliran paket data. Penelitian ini melakukan pengamatan terhadap beberapa layanan pada jaringan IMS dengan menggunakan tiga teori antrian yang berbeda yaitu First In First Out (FIFO), Priority Queuing (PQ), dan Weighted-Fair Queuing (WFQ). Pengamatan dilakukan terhadap layanan Video Conference dan VoIP. Dari hasil simulasi dapat diketahui bahwa teori antrian WFQ pada layanan video conference menghasilkan rata-rata delay sebesar 9.22 ms , delay variation sebesar 0.036 ms dan packet loss sebesar 0.88%. Sedangkan untuk layanan VoIP menghasilkan rata-rata delay sebesar 144 ms, delay variation sebesar 0.021 ms, dan packet loss sebesar 0.05% serta menghasilkan rata-rata throughput sebesar 7.052 Mbps, sehingga teori antrian yang tepat digunakan dalam jaringan IMS dalam penelitian ini adalah WFQ.

A method is proposed to predict bank erosion and sand bar migration in river reaches where suspended sediment transport is dominant. The method focuses on the influence of the lateral bed slope on the erosion and deposition rate of suspended sediment, as well as on the profile of lateral bedload transport, assuming that geometric similarity holds in the bank region. In the proposed model, the erosion and deposition rate can be evaluated using either the bed shear stress at a reference location or the average bed shear stress in the bank region. In order to simulate bank erosion and associated bank shifting with a depth-integrated-base treatment, stretchable grids were added to the conventional coarse grid system near the bank. The proposed method, including the bank erosion model, is applied to the lower reach of the Brahmaputra River, which is ∼90 km long and ∼12.50 km wide. The computed results on bank shifting, sand bar migration, and sediment transport rates are compared with data obtained from field investigations and remote sensing. These results suggest that the proposed method is applicable for predicting sediment issues in river reaches dominated by suspended sediment.

Globally, large-scale floods are one of the most serious disasters, considering increased frequency and intensity of heavy rainfall. This is not only a domestic problem but also an international water issue related to transboundary rivers in terms of global river flood risk assessment. The purpose of this study is to propose a rapid flood hazard model as a methodological possibility to be used on a global scale, which uses flood inundation depth and works reasonably despite low data availability. The method is designed to effectively simplify complexities involving hydrological and topographical variables in a flood risk-prone area when applied in an integrated global flood risk assessment framework. The model was used to evaluate flood hazard and exposure through pixel-based comparison in the case of extreme flood events caused by an annual maximum daily river discharge of 1/50 probability of occurrence under the condition of climate change between two periods, Present (daily data from 1980 to 2004) and Future (daily data from 2075 to 2099). As preliminary results, the maximum potential extent of inundation area and the maximum number of affected people show an upward trend in Present and Future.

The flood in the Chao Phraya River basin in 2011 caused 815 deaths and more than $45 billion in economic damage to Thailand. The industrial sector, the main contributor to the country’s economy, suffered especially devastating economic damage due to inundation of the industrial areas in the river basin. Seven industrial areas, where the total share of Japanese-affiliated firms was more than half, were most severely hit by the flood. In this study, a survey was conducted with Japanese-affiliated firms from February–March 2015 with the purpose of further strengthening their flood countermeasures in the future. The firms’ factories were asked which lessons from the 2011 flood they considered important and whether their experiences from the flood had been applied to strengthening their flood countermeasures. It was found that these factories, regardless of their inundation status in 2011, considered “preparation of a business continuity plan or manual for possible floods” to be the most important lesson from the 2011 flood. However, when it comes to actual implementation of flood countermeasures, the factories that were inundated in 2011 strengthened flood countermeasures much more than the factories with only indirect damage. In both groups, however, collaboration with business partners and local communities as well as use of reliable flood-related information were revealed to be the areas where further strengthening would be possible.

Published: November 2016

This simulation study investigates the treatment performance of a compact French vertical flow wetland using a zeolite layer in order to increase ammonium nitrogen removal. For the modelling exercise, the biokinetic model CW2D of the HYDRUS Wetland Module is used. The calibrated model is able to predict the effect of different depths of the zeolite layer on ammonium nitrogen removal in order to optimize the design of the system. For the model calibration, the hydraulic effluent flow rates as well as influent and effluent concentrations of chemical oxygen demand (COD) and NH4-N have been measured. To model the adsorption capacity of zeolite, Freundlich isotherms have been used. The results present the simulated treatment performance with three different depths of the zeolite layer, 10 cm (default), 15 cm and 20 cm, respectively. The increase of the zeolite layer leads to a significant decrease of the simulated NH4-N effluent concentration.

Authors: Boldyrev S. Yu. , Rossokha O. A. , Barbukhatti K. O. , Porkhanov V. A,
Published: November 2016

Aim: This study was designed to evaluate the results of using a new method of aortic valve reimplantation named Kuban Cuff technique, where the key stage of surgery was to create new sinuses of Valsalva.
Methods: Analyzed over a period from 2011 to 2015 were the outcomes of treatment of 45 (37 males) patients with various anatomy of the aortic valve (tri/bicuspid ones) and initial pathologies: aneurysms of the root and the ascending aorta, dissection of the ascending aorta, insufficiency of the aortic valve. A detailed description of the surgical technique and the unique device to prepare a vascular graft for reimplantation is given. The mean age of patients was 56.5 years (46.5; 66.5), the average time of cardiopulmonary bypass was 193.6 min (128.9; 258.2), the aorta cross-clamping time was 142.6 min (104.5; 180.7), the circulatory arrest time was 28.1 min (13.1; 43.1).
Results: Hospital mortality was 2 (4.4%) patients. 3 (6.6%) patients underwent re-sternotomy because of postoperative bleeding. One patient had to undergo a redo (Bentall procedure) at 2 months after discharge from the hospital as a result of acute infective endocarditis of the aortic valve. All patients demonstrated a good function of the aortic valve with regurgitation of 0/1 grade. Prior to discharge, the aortic regurgitation grade was decreased from 2.83±0.44 before surgery to 0.62±0.7 after surgery. The mean follow-up time in 42 patients (93.3%) was 12.3 months (2.68; 21.98).
Conclusions: The Kuban Cuff technique fully recreates a close analogue of the natural aortic root, stabilizes the fibrous annulus of the aortic valve, minimizes the risk of bleeding from the anastomosis zone. The technique is simple and reproducible with any type of vascular prostheses and does not take much time.

Published: November 2016

Critical states, regardless of the cause, are characterized by the formation of a systemic inflammatory response with multi-directional translations of pro- and anti-inflammatory mediators. Under the conditions of uncontrolled inflammation and the development of persistent organ failure, there exists a possibility of developing uncontrolled abnormal myelopoesis that might result in a release of myeloid suppressor cells. The purpose of the overview is to determine the role of myeloid suppressor cells in the development of immune suppression in critical states from the viewpoint of diagnostic significance, with the focus on both sterile and infectious systemic inflammation.

Aim. The aim of this randomized study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of septal myectomy (SM) and alcohol septal ablation (ASA) in patients with an obstructive form of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
Methods. The study included 76 patients eligible for ASA and Morrow myectomy. The patients were divided into two equal groups: one for ASA (n = 38), the other for SM.
The primary endpoint (combined) was to assess the safety, which included 30-day complications after surgery (mortality, bleeding, tamponade, stroke, development of VT / VF) and the frequency of pacemaker/ICD implantation.
Secondary endpoints focused on the evaluation of pressure gradient (efficiency), repeated operations, clinical and functional indicators, volume and mass of the ablation zone and dissected infarction. Control observation period was 12 months.
Results. By the end of control observations, it was found out that SM is a safer technique as compared to ASA, the complication rate was 13 % and 47 % respectively (log-rank test p = 0.0021; Cox: HR 11.4 95% CI [1.52 -11.1] p = 0.005). No significant differences in early (30 days) postoperative complications were found (log-rank test p = 0.24; Cox: HR 2.52, 95% CI [0.48-12.9] p = 0.27). Rhythm disturbances requiring pacemaker implantation / ICD (log-rank test p = 0.0029; Cox: HR 95% CI 4.92 [1.06-22.74] p = 0.042) were the most common complication. In both groups, there was a significant reduction of the LVOT gradient, p <0.01. However, the residual gradient in the ASA group was significantly higher than that in the SM group, p <0.01. Clinical data of both groups were comparable in the long term. A significant correlation was observed between the dissected infarction volume and the degree of reduction in the LVOT gradient of the SM group, p = 0.01. No significant dependency of the ablation zone volume on the degree of reduction in the LVOT gradient was observed, p = 0.7.
Conclusion. Septal myectomy is a safe treatment for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy as compared to ASA. Alcohol septal ablation and SM are comparable in the effectiveness of LVOT gradient reduction. There is a dependence of the excised myocardium volume and the degree of reduction in the LVOT gradient during long-term follow-up of patients who underwent Morrow SM.

Published: November 2016

Aim. The article focuses on the evaluation of short-term efficacy of rheolytic thrombectomy (AngioJet) in patients with STEMI.
Methods. 188 patients (85.6% men) with STEMI underwent primary PCI by means of rheolytic catheter thrombectomy (AngioJet). The mean age was 54.1 ± 10.7 years. 32 (17 %) of patients had old myocardial infarction. 104 (55.9 %) patients were diagnosed with ST-elevated inferior myocardial infarction. 22 (12 %) patients were operated under cardiogenic shock. Mean time from the appearance of symptoms to admission was 222.5 [70, 584] min. Anterior interventricular artery (38.3 %) and right coronary artery (43.6 %) were the main infarction-related arteries.
Results. Complete thrombotic occlusion of the coronary artery occurred in 144 (77.4%) patients. Mean “door-to-balloon” time amounted to 41.5 [30; 60]. Coronary thrombus was fully removed in 107 (60.8%) of patients. Stents with antiproliferative effect were implanted in 48.8 % of patients. Immediate angiographic success was achieved in 177 (94.1%) cases. Mean time of PCI was 60 [50; 80] min. PCI complications were registered in 3 (1.6%) patients. Intraoperative life-threatening arrhythmias happened in 22 (11.7 %) patients. The phenomenon of "no-reflow" occurred in 6 (3.2%) PCI cases. The rate of in-hospital mortality was 5.9%, including patients with cardiogenic shock (36.4%) and those without it (1.9 %). MACCE (main adverse cardio-cerebral events) were observed in 15 (8%) cases. According to ECG data obtained postoperatively, 26 % of patients demonstrated no regional asynergy, while a decrease in myocardial contractile function occurred in just 26 % of cases, with the average left ventricular ejection fraction running to 57.5±9 %. Mean in-hospital stay was 9.5±0.6 days.
Conclusion. The results of this study suggest that rheolytic catheter thrombectomy (AngioJet) is a safe and effective modality. Immediate hospital results show low rate complications and low in-hospital mortality.

Authors: Kow Su‐Huan , Fahmi Muhammad Ridwan , Abidin Che Zulzikrami Azner , Soon‐An Ong
Published: November 2016

Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) are of special interest in treating landfill leachate as they are the most promising procedures to degrade recalcitrant compounds and improve the biodegradability of wastewater. This paper aims to refresh the information base of AOPs and to discover the research gaps of AOPs in landfill leachate treatment. A brief overview of mechanisms involving in AOPs including ozone‐based AOPs, hydrogen peroxide‐based AOPs and persulfate‐based AOPs are presented, and the parameters affecting AOPs are elaborated. Particularly, the advancement of AOPs in landfill leachate treatment is compared and discussed. Landfill leachate characterization prior to method selection and method optimization prior to treatment are necessary, as the performance and practicability of AOPs are influenced by leachate matrixes and treatment cost. More studies concerning the scavenging effects of leachate matrixes towards AOPs, as well as the persulfate‐based AOPs in landfill leachate treatment, are necessary in the future.

As disposições sobre educaçãoe diversidade ganharam maior visibilidade no contexto das reformas curriculares empreendidas pelo Ministério da Educação, mas também a partir de diferentes mobilizações vividas cotidianamente pelos Movimentos Sociais, especialmente aqueles relacionados a questões étnico-raciais, de diversidade afetivo-sexual, da educação quilombola, daeducação do campo, da educação indígena, da educação inclusiva, ganhando espaço e materialidade em documentos oficiais, tais como os Parâmetros Curriculares Nacionais, as Diretrizes Curriculares para Formação de Professores da Educação Infantil, do Ensino Fundamental, dos Parâmetros Curriculares em Ação, e, mais atualmente, nos grandese constantes embates relacionados ao Plano Nacional de Educação, com reflexos nos Planos Estaduais e Municipais, no tocante a questões de gênero e de sexualidade.Este dossiê foi organizado em torno de pesquisas, oriundas de diversas regiões do Brasil, e de reflexões internacionais, interessadas nas relações entre educação, diversidade e desigualdades. São resultados de pesquisas e teorizações sobre relações de gênero e sexualidades da escola, com ênfase nas políticas de formação de professores para aeducação básica, na inclusão/exclusão de gays, transexuais e travestis das escolas, bem como o direito e garantias de uso do nome social de estudantes travestis e transexuais nas escolas

Published: November 2016

RESUMENObjetivo. El objetivo del estudio fue caracterizar clínicamente el proceso de cicatrización de la pythiosis cutánea en equinos tratados con acetonida de triamcinolona. Materiales y métodos. Se realizó un estudio descriptivo, no probabilístico, de conveniencia. Fueron utilizados 24 equinos con pythiosis cutánea. A un grupo le fue aplicado 50 mg de acetonida de triamcinolona vía intramuscular (GT) y al otro grupo no fue aplicado tratamiento (GC). Se realizó caracterización clínica y macroscópica de la lesión cada 4 días hasta la recuperación completa del granuloma en el GT. Siendo verificada la disminución del exudado fibrinosanguinolento, prurito, presencia de trayectos fistulosos y salida de kunkers, también, fueron realizadas proyecciones radiológicas para evaluar el grado de compromiso óseo y fibrosis tecidual. Resultados. Macroscópicamente, los animales del GT presentaron diminución progresiva en las características clínicas de la enfermedad a los 16±1,4 días post aplicación del tratamiento. La contracción de la herida fue del 100% a los 60±3.4 días post aplicación del tratamiento en todos los granulomas del GT, siendo altamente significativa (p<0.0001). Radiológicamente, se encontró invasión a los tejidos subyacentes comprometiendo estructuras óseas, caracterizándose por fibrosis tisular, exostosis moderada, osteólisis y osteomielitis. Los animales del GC no presentaron mejoría en las características clínicas y macroscópicas de la pythiosis y se mantuvieron iguales durante todo el estudio. Conclusiones. La acetonida de triamcinolona es una buena alternativa terapéutica en el tratamiento de las heridas granulomatosas de pythiosis en equinos con 100% de recuperación clínica.

RESUMENObjetivo. Determinar el efecto del aceite de maíz sobre la concentración de los ácidos grasos volátiles (AGV) en el jugo gástrico de caballos con úlceras gástricas inducidas con fenilbutazona (FBZ) y correlacionar los hallazgos gastroscópicos con las concentraciones de AGV. Materiales y métodos. 15 caballos fueron asignados en 3 grupos. El grupo I (control) recibió placebo durante los primeros 6 días (período de inducción) y fue tratado con sucralfato durante 2 semanas (período de tratamiento). Los grupos II y III recibieron FBZ en la fase de inducción. Después de 6 días, los caballos del grupo II recibieron 70 ml de aceite de maíz /100 kg de peso corporal / vo, dos veces al día, durante 2 semanas y los caballos del grupo III recibieron 90 ml de aceite de maíz / 100 kg de peso corporal / vo, dos veces al día, durante 2 semanas. Todos los caballos fueron examinados por gastroscopia en el día 0, 7 y 21. Las lesiones fueron registradas y clasificadas según el número y severidad. Muestras de fluido gástrico se utilizaron para medir las concentraciones de los ácidos acético, propiónico, butírico y láctico. Resultados. Ambos protocolos de FBZ ocasionaron lesiones en las áreas aglandular y glandular del estómago. Todos los tratamientos reestablecieron el epitelio ulcerado de la mucosa glandular. Ninguno de los dos tratamientos a base de aceite de maíz reestablecieron el epitelio ulcerado de la zona aglandular del estómago. Conclusiones. Las concentraciones de los ácidos acético y butírico fueron más altas en el jugo gástrico. El aceite de maíz y el sucralfato no afectaron la concentración de ácido acético y ácido butírico.
Algunas consideraciones sobre la influencia de la heterogeneidad demográfica en el consumo y la calidad del medio ambiente
Authors: IZAZOLA HAYDEA
Published: November 2016

Un argumento frecuentemente socorrido al estudiar la interrelación entre población y medio ambiente, vincula el acelerado crecimiento de la población, especialmente en los países en desarrollo al deterioro ambiental planetario, sin abundar en la heterogeneidad demográfica, social, económica y cultural de la población. En consecuencia, una intervención fundamental para proteger el medio ambiente global consistiría en reforzar los programas de planificación familiar en los países pobres, sin enfrentar otros aspectos igualmente importantes que afectan la calidad ambiental.En el presente artículo se resalta la importancia que la diversidad demográfica puede tener en la calidad del medio ambiente, a través de la diversidad de patrones de consumo determinados económica, social, política, y culturalmente.Al revisar algunas propuestas teóricas y metodológicas para el estudio de la población en general y de su interrelación con el medio ambiente, en particular, se sugiere prestar especial atención a la influencia que factores como la distribución espacial de la población, su estructura por edades y género, su organización en hogares, el ciclo vital familiar, así como su diferenciación económica, pueden tener en la calidad ambiental tanto a nivel local como global, al incidir en los mecanismos de acceso, uso y control de los recursos naturales y en consecuencia, en la diversidad de patrones de consumo de la población.
Desafíos y percepciones en la ardua tarea del desarrollo
Authors: LAZOS CHAVERO ELENA
Published: November 2016

En este artículo pongo a consideración del lector los desafíos y las distintas percepciones de diversos sectores involucrados en la tarea del desarrollo agropecuario. El reto del desarrollo es hacer confluir esta heterogeneidad de visiones entre:a) Los productores, cuyas expectativas se fundamentan en los resultados económicos promisorios prometidos por los planes agropecuarios, pero quienes a través de sus experiencias recientes con los programas gubernamentales han actuado a nivel individual;b) los técnicos institucionales, cuyas metas se quedan en los aspectos meramente tecnológicos y sus evaluaciones se restringen a la capacidad de la retribución del crédito;c) los nuevos técnicos preocupados por construir proyectos que tiendan hacia la sustentabilidad, quienes persiguen un equilibrio entre las prácticas productivas, sus impactos ecológicos y las ganancias económicas; y finalmente,d) los investigadores o los capacitadores con formación social, quienes analizan más el contexto comunitario organizativo y cultural para entender las percepciones y la problemática social de los pobladores.
El trabajo y la vida cotidiana. Un enfoque desde los espacios de vida
Authors: LINDÓN VILLORIA ALICIA
Published: November 2016

En este artículo se plantea un camino metodológico para tratar el estudio de la vida cotidiana y su relación con el trabajo, desde la perspectiva de los espacios de vida de los individuos. En este sentido, la propuesta es partir de la interacción entre la vida cotidiana, subdividida en cuatro ámbitos (doméstico, laboral, vecinal y tiempo libre), y la relación trabajo/residencia (o la espacialidad del trabajo)**. La interacción entre estas dos esferas la denomino "trama de la vida cotidiana". Al concebir a esta última como la articulación de vínculos sociales (definidos en función de las actividades cotidianas) y un fondo espacio-temporal, es posible llegar a diferenciar tramas dispersas espacialmente y fraccionadas en términos temporales, y tramas cotidianas concentradas en ciertos espacios de vida y continuas en el tiempo cotidiano.

Judith Butler y la formación melancólica del sujeto
Authors: Romano Patricia
Published: November 2016

Con este trabajo se busca recuperar los componentes centrales de la teoría de Judith Butler respecto a la formación del sujeto que aparece en The Psychic Life of Power. En esta teoría la autora considera y destaca la importancia de la dimensión psíquica del poder social en la formación del sujeto. La propuesta más sobresaliente, sin duda, es la introducción y el análisis de esa dimensión por medio de la noción de identificación melancólica, y su argumentación en cuanto a que ésta es el fundamento en la delimitación de los espacios interno y externo. Esta propuesta puede ser considerada como un acercamiento teórico para entender el funcionamiento del poder social en la construcción de la identidad.
Acceso a terrenos con servicios para los pobres urbanos: la paradoja de la regularización en México
Authors: Iracheta Cenecorta Alfonso
Published: November 2016

La insuficiente oferta de suelo con servicios públicos para los pobres de la ciudad, y la necesidad de regularización de las consecuentes ocupaciones ilegales de las áreas urbanas son dos de los más importantes aspectos de la agenda de políticas de suelo en América Latina.Considerando una visión estructural/integrada acerca del funcionamiento del mercado de suelo urbano en América Latina, este trabajo discute la relación entre los mercados de suelo formales e informales. Se exponen los perversos efectos de  retroalimentación que las políticas curativas de regularización pueden tener sobre el proceso por el cual la irregularización es producida en primera instancia.El trabajo sugiere que un enfoque más efectivo para la provisión de suelo a pobres no puede ser resuelta con los actuales programas (curativos) de regularización. Estos programas deberían tener la capacidad de movilizar los recursos existentes hacia un programa que vincule regularización y política fiscal, incluyendo la exploración de mecanismos de captación de plusvalía.
Estado, descentralização e sustentabilidade dos governos locais no Brasil
Authors: MOTA DE CARVALHO AILTON
Published: November 2016

En un momento en que se habla tanto acerca de la descentralización y la valoración de los gobiernos locales, se torna evidente la completa incapacidad de los municipios y de las ciudades brasileñas para asumir las crecientes responsabilidades que les están siendo confiadas. Esta incapacidad es fácilmente constatada a partir de datos objetivos de población, renta y prestación de servicios, pero también por la falta de capacidad de gestión y de preparación político-administrativa para el ejercicio de las mínimas funciones municipales. Dicha realidad brasileña está relacionada con el proceso histórico de municipalización, inicialmente distorsionado en sus principios y sus formas: una verdadera industria de creación de municipios y ciudades inviables que pone en peligro todo el proceso de descentralización y municipalización del Brasil.
La reforma del Estado y el acceso de los pueblos indios a los medios de comunicación
Authors: ESTEINOU MADRID JAVIER , LOERA CHÁVEZ Y PENICHE MARGARITA
Published: November 2016

El levantamiento del Ejército Zapatista de Liberación Nacional el 1 de enero de 1994 ha planteado en los últimos siete años que las comunidades indígenas, además de demandar justicia, paz, dignidad y reivindicación de sus derechos básicos, también exigieran acceso a los medios colectivos de comunicación. Es por ello que el punto 9 de los Acuerdos de San Andrés Larráinzar y la Iniciativa de Ley de Reforma de Cultura y Derechos Indígenas, en su inciso 7, formularon oficialmente que el Estado mexicano reconocía que “los pueblos indígenas tienen el derecho a la libre determinación y a la autonomía, como parte del Estado mexicano [...] para adquirir, operar y administrar sus propios medios de comunicación”. No obstante estos reconocimientos políticos, los acuerdos pactados en ambas iniciativas de Ley enviadas al Poder Legislativo fueron engañosos e insuficientes para lograr un cambio sustancial en esta materia, y en consecuencia, todo permaneció igual.
