Zoneamento inclusivo: possibilidades de potencialização no Brasil a partir de novos instrumentos de política urbana
Authors: Fidalgo Tarcyla
Published: February 2025

Zoneamento inclusivo é o conjunto de práticas e instrumentos que têm o objetivo de garantir habitação de interesse social em áreas infraestruturadas das cidades. No Brasil, trata-se de um conjunto de instrumentos dentre os quais se destacam as Zonas de Especial Interesse Social e a Cota de Solidariedade, ambos com grande potencial mas eficácia reduzida diante dos limites impostos à sua aplicação. Neste sentido, pretende-se explorar as possibilidades de sua potencialização por meio da utilização conjunta com outros instrumentos, adotando-se o Termo Territorial Coletivo como paradigma de análise. A partir de uma metodologia baseada na revisão bibliográfica e de textos normativos, concluiu-se que a utilização conjunta das ZEIS ou Cota de Solidariedade com o Termo Territorial Coletivo potencializa o efeito desejado de garantia de habitação de interesse social em áreas infraestruturadas da cidade, com a capacidade adicional de promover um incremento da mobilização e participação efetiva dos moradores na gestão imobiliária/territorial.

Published: February 2025

A presente pesquisa trata de um estudo de caso que objetiva, através de entrevistas semiestruturadas, compreender como é a atuação da ocupação urbana Carlos Marighella, localizada na cidade de Palhoça/SC, e suas possíveis relações com as metas 11.1 e 11.3 do ODS 11. Além disso, pretende-se realizar uma análise crítica dos dados coletados, relacionando-os com a teoria de direito à cidade do sociólogo Henri Lefebvre. Inicialmente, faz-se uma contextualização histórica da função da propriedade no Brasil, bem como do papel da Organização das Nações Unidas (ONU) no contexto global. O estudo segue para uma compreensão da teoria de Henri Lefebvre da construção das cidades, seus espaços abstratos e espaços diferenciais. Por fim, há a explanação do método utilizado para o manejo dos dados obtidos e as análises obtidas. Os resultados demonstraram que a ocupação Carlos Marighella tem atuado veementemente para alcançar os parâmetros das metas 11.1 e 11.3 através de sua estrutura, e, através da teoria de Lefebvre, percebe-se que a ocupação constrói um movimento que vai contra os parâmetros mercadológicos do espaço urbano hegemônico, sendo um ato de resistência, buscando a construção do que o autor denomina como espaço diferencial.

Chronic Lymphocytic Leukaemia (CLL) is an oncogenic replication of B cells that causes adenomegaly, lymphadenopathy and splenomegaly in Caucasian individuals, usually in the seventh decade of life. In a simple blood count, it is possible to assess a lymphocytosis above 5x103/dL of blasts circulating in the medullary environment in a proliferative manner, allowing the haematologist to predict a case of haematological neoplasia; however, it is only with immunophenotyping that the progression of the disease is assessed, visualising the cellular components, such as proteins, enzymes and chromosomes, which are prognostic factors for this patient. The study sought to systematise review articles and clinical trials that answered the question raised: what is the relationship between immunophenotyping, and the prognosis of patients diagnosed with Chronic Lymphocytic Leukaemia? Using a 6-year retrospective (2019 to 2024), finally tabulating the answers in a demonstrative table. Among the main answers, we highlight that, through immunophenotyping, it is possible to analyse the phenotype of the CLL patient, identify the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), associating the CLL haematological neoplasm classified as NK, deletions 11q23 or 17 in fluorescence in situ hybridisation (FISH), thus allowing us to track the cytological markers that impact on the good/bad prognosis of leukaemia. The greatest benefit obtained by immunophenotyping is the possibility of assessing the disease at a biomolecular level.

Authors: Butarbutar Ranta , González Vallejo Rubén
Published: February 2025

This study aims to examine the factors that motivate, attract, and anchor students to adopt AI tools during the writing process in the context of push-pull-mooring (PPM) theory. Utilizing a narrative inquiry research approach, this study employed observation, in-depth interviews, and document analysis for data collection. The analysis identified the key factors through reflexive thematic methods. Key pull factors include the generation of credit authorship contributions and the integration of AI into academic writing. The pull factors encompass topic selection, dynamic literature review, research questions, proposal conceptualization, designing research methods, data analysis, revising drafts, and managing references. AI integration incorporates active learning, self-regulated learning (SRL), inquiry-based learning, and overcoming linguistic challenges. The push factors identified include reference inaccuracies, confidentiality of research, and overreliance on AI. Three anchoring principles guide the ethical incorporation of AI in thesis writing: institutional academic policies, AI augmentation, and comprehensive contextual learning approach. But the study's limitations include the small sample size of ten students from a single university, which affects the generalizability of the results.

Published: February 2025

A questionnaire can be a rapid tool to identify nutritional risk, allowing early intervention, especially in people with diseases such as celiac disease, where poor absorption of nutrients can cause severe deficiencies. This study assessed nutritional risk in 35 patients with prior informed consent, using a validated questionnaire, and analyzing its sensitivity and specificity. The study revealed that 65.7% are malnourished, with 48.6% underweight, especially children (72.7%) and adults (54.5%). In addition, 5.7% of patients, especially young people, are obese (16.7%). The application of the “Nutritional Screening Initiative” questionnaire showed that 66.7% are at nutritional risk, requiring improved eating habits. The correlation analysis indicated a significant association between BMI and nutritional risk. The ROC curve indicated a low discriminatory capacity, although the sensitivity was high (91.7%), correctly identifying cases at nutritional risk. However, at other thresholds, decision-making is almost random, as indicated by the sensitivity and specificity. It is concluded that the ROC curve suggested limitations in the capacity to discriminate nutritional risk, with a high sensitivity but moderate specificity. It is crucial to implement personalized nutritional interventions and improve classification models to more accurately identify risk in this population.

Xochimilco Virtual Museum: art and community in the face of environmental challenges
Authors: Gálvez Mancilla Sara María
Published: February 2025

The aim of this work is to explore the potential of art as a strategy for the dissemination and conservation of the Xochimilco territorial demarcation, which is located to the south of Mexico City and which, since pre-Hispanic times, has been of utmost environmental and cultural importance for the development of the Valley of Mexico. The starting point is the self-managed and transdisciplinary initiative Museo Virtual Xochimilco (MUVIXO) whose main objective is to contribute to the conservation of the area. In this context, it is essential to outline some of the socio-environmental problems of the area, such as the urban pressure that has increased in recent years, threatening the mixed heritage of the municipality. Likewise, it delves into the different types of relationships that have historically been established between art and nature, emphasizing the artistic processes through which individuals and their communities generate an appropriation of the environment. Along the same lines, it considers some of the social functions of art, underlining its potential to encourage community participation in conservation.  The current context, academics, artists, institutions and the community in general are called upon to design comprehensive and transdisciplinary proposals that promote the conservation of socio-ecosystems such as Xochimilco, a territory that, before the arrival of the Spanish, established human activity in balance with nature using sustainable technologies that are now at risk of disappearing. The use of new technologies, such as virtual reality, broadens the possibilities of promoting and integrating community participation through art, promoting the creation of local narratives that contribute to the construction of a living memory of the communities that inhabit the territory.

Published: February 2025

Currently, global disease diagnosis is prevalent, and the evaluation of digital medical images (MI) is integral to Intelligent Medical Systems (IMS), which facilitates the early diagnosis and treatment of prevalent and severe illnesses. In this scenario, modifying or altering just one pixel of an MI during transmission across an insecure channel might result in an erroneous diagnosis, jeopardizing patient health and causing detrimental delays. Consequently, transmitting IMS multimedia information to healthcare providers presents several security issues. This study presents a Multimedia Data Processing framework using Embedded Elliptic Curve Cryptography (MDP-EECC) inside an IMS. The suggested MDP architecture comprises an Edge Level (EL), a Fog Computing (FC) stage, a Cloud computing Storage (CS) level, and a Blockchain (BC) tier. The EL gathers and transmits regular health data from the patient to the upper layer. The multimedia information from the EL is safely stored in BC-assisted CS via FC nodes using simple cryptography. Medical professionals conduct secure searches of such data for therapy or monitoring purposes. Inexpensive cryptographic methods are suggested via the use of Elliptic Curve Cryptography (ECC) with ECC-Diffie-Hellman (ECDH) and ECC-Digital Signature (ECDS) algorithms to ensure the security of MDP while preserving privacy. The suggested approach is tested using publicly accessible chest X-ray pictures. The efficacy of the suggested version is assessed and validated via comprehensive experimentation using the latest security techniques available. Compared to state-of-the-art approaches, the suggested version demonstrates superior security characteristics and can withstand different known assaults.

Faust and the History of Sanity: The Social Representations of Mental Health
Authors: Guzmán Aldo César
Published: February 2025

Introduction: The article analyzed sanity as a social construct, shaped by various discourses throughout history. It examined how sanity, beyond mental health, was expressed in language, art, and literature. From the 19th century onwards, its conceptualization was influenced by modern science and psychiatry, establishing it as a form of social control.Development: The evolution of the concept of sanity was explored from Antiquity to modern times. In the Middle Ages, it was associated with prudence and cardinal virtues, whereas in the 19th century, it took on a normative role within the psychiatric field. Foucault pointed out that psychiatric power used sanity as a mechanism of control. Freud, in turn, questioned the existence of absolute sanity and highlighted the arbitrariness of its definition. Furthermore, literature reflected these ideas; in Faust, Goethe ridiculed modern reason and its impact on the construction of sanity.Conclusion: The article concluded that sanity did not have a single or universal meaning but rather varied according to historical contexts and power relations. Its conceptualization depended on philosophical, scientific, and artistic discourses, demonstrating that it cannot be objectively defined. Through Faust, Goethe criticized modern rationality and showed how sanity became a socially constructed illusion.
Municipal Contentious-Administrative Courts and Their Role in Promoting Social Welfare: A Comparative Analysis
Authors: Torruco González Alan Daniel
Published: February 2025

Introduction: The right of access to justice in Mexico is guaranteed by the Constitution and international treaties. In the judicial sphere, the General Directorate of Judicial Statistics (DGEJ) is responsible for collecting and analyzing data to evaluate the administration of justice. However, municipal administrative courts, such as the Administrative Litigation Court of the Municipality of Mérida (TCAMM), are not included in these statistics, making their evaluation difficult. Despite regulations requiring the publication of reports, no records were available for 2021 and 2022, affecting transparency and the right of access to justice.Development: The TCAMM was created in 2016 following a constitutional reform that allowed the establishment of municipal courts in certain states. In Yucatán, this court was established in the local Constitution and regulated by the Law of Government of the Municipalities of the State. However, previous reports identified threats such as the public’s lack of awareness about the court and the unilateral jurisdiction assumed by the Administrative Justice Court of the State of Yucatán (TJAY). This has led to jurisdictional conflicts, impacting the effectiveness of administrative justice.Conclusion: The lack of public awareness about the TCAMM and its jurisdictional overlap with the TJAY have negatively impacted access to justice in Mérida. The absence of clear and accessible information regarding its operations and its role in resolving administrative disputes poses a barrier for citizens. Greater transparency and regulatory adjustments are needed to prevent jurisdictional duplication.

The sustainability of the university farm Temascaltepec belonging to the ‘Universidad Autónoma del Estado de México’ was evaluated through indicators.  Based on the characterization and diagnosis, a proposal for natural resources sustainable management was designed. In order to install, operate and evaluate some components of this proposal, experiments for three years were realized, these included: the benchmarking in monoculture and association using lots for fodder production, for multipurpose trees, and for containing erosion with vegetative techniques. The forage yields gradually improved during the evaluation period, and forages association showed greater quality. The arboreal species showed divergent degrees of adaptation and development due to adverse ground and climate conditions. The vegetative techniques were effective to decrease the accelerated erosive processes.  The comparison of the final state of the system with the initial state allows us to observe notable improvements for most of the environmental and social indicators, although the profitability was negative, due to the high cost of the components installation. The relevance of this methodology, for the design and operation of the proposal and for sustainability evaluation, was verified as much.

A survey was conducted to assess the frequency of BCMV and BCMNV in five of the main dry bean producing states in Mexico during the spring-summer 2009 and fall-winter growing seasons 2009-2010. States included in the survey were Nayarit, Sinaloa and Sonora in the pacific west coast, Veracruz in the gulf coast and Guanajuato in central Mexico. A total of 338 samples were collected and analyzed by RT-PCR with specific primers for each viral species.  Forty-four samples (13%) gave positive reaction for BCMV, 70 (21%) for BCMNV and 30 (9%) were positive for both viral species, 164 (48%) were negative for both viruses and 30 (9%) could not yet be defined. As for cultivars, Azufrado Higuera (Nueva Granada race) grown at Sinaloa showed the highest frequency (33%) of BCMV, whereas Negro Jamapa (Mesoamericana race) from Nayarit displayed highest frequency (50%) of BCMNV. In these two states the percentage of positive samples for either viral species was 80%. In addition, in cultivar Negro Jamapa mixed infections of both viruses were detected. Results point out a high risk of viral infection with seed movement across states, particularly since both viral species are seed transmitted and in the states at the pacific west coast, large seed lots are produced during the fall-winter season.

Three sheep chromosome regions (OAR1, OAR5 and OAR25) were selected to study quantitative trait loci (QTL) segregating for wool traits in Baluchi sheep, an indigenous sheep breed in Iran. A total of 503 progeny from 13 half-sib families were genotyped for 15 microsatellite markers. The data were collected from Research Centre on Baluchi breed from 2009-2010. Wool traits were corrected for fixed effects of birth-year, sex, herd, and litter size. The average number of progeny per sire was 38 and ranged between 16 and 59. The QTL analyses were performed using regression-based interval mapping. The results revealed 7 QTL on OAR1 for type fiber traits (hetero-type, kemp and true wool percent in fleece), coefficient of variation of fiber diameter, greasy and clean fleece weight and staple length, 2 QTL on OAR5 for hetero-type wool percent and clean fleece, and 6 QTL on OAR25 for type wool traits, greasy and clean fleece weight and coefficient of variation of average fiber diameter.

This study was conducted in southwest Ethiopia with the aim of understanding the influence of resettlement on pastoral land use. Data were collected using a semi-structured questionnaire and focus group discussion. Respondents in non-resettled kebele reported that livestock keeping was the main source of their livelihoods. Our results showed that resettlement accelerated crop cultivation and contributed to shifts in land use due to the expansion of crop farming. Respondents mentioned that the condition of grazing resources and livestock economy were adversely affected. The community further claimed that ownership right and changes in resource use were additional deriving forces of conflict over resources. It was also indicated that the deteriorating condition of rangelands linked to resettlement greatly undermined local livelihoods and land tenure security. Recognizing the livelihood strategy of pastoral communalities and tenure security could improve sustainable use of natural resources and conservation of biodiversity. We suggest active participation of the local community to minimize the negative impacts of resettlement on the host community, while implementing resettlement as a strategy to secure food self sufficiency. A robust understanding in planning and implementation of resettlement is needed in consolidating concerns of the host community for minimizing conflict and securing land tenure.

Covariance components and genetic parameters were estimated in Simmental, Simbrah and Simmental x Zebu calves fitting six alternative models to birth weight (BW; n=105,297), 205-day weight (WW; n=82,752) and 365-day weight data (YW; n=49,450) provided by Asociación Mexicana de Criadores de Ganado Simmental Simbrah, A.C. Models ranged from a model which included direct additive genetic effects (Model 1) to a model which included direct and maternal additive genetic effects, their covariance and maternal permanent environmental effects (Model 6). Fixed effects were: contemporary group, age of dam, proportion of Simmental genes, heterozygosity and recombination losses. Estimates of direct and maternal heritability varied between alternative models. Due to the problems associated with the estimation of the direct-maternal correlation, which was extremely high (absolute value), Model 4, which included both dams’ genetic and permanent environmental effects in addition to direct additive genetic effects, was considered to be the most appropriate for all traits. Application of any of the other models would result in inaccurate expected progeny differences, affecting selection efficiency. Model-4 estimates of direct heritability, maternal heritability and of the ratio of maternal permanent environmental variance to the total phenotypic variance were: 0.17, 0.01 and 0.03; 0.14, 0.02 and 0.04; and 0.15, 0.01 and 0.01 for BW, WW and YW, respectively.

Synchronization protocols with intravaginal progesterone releasing devices (CIDR) and PGF2α were evaluated, with GnRH or estradiol cypionate (ECP) added for fixed-time artificial insemination (FTAI) in five counties in Tamaulipas, Mexico. Brahman-cross heifers (≥15 months old) were selected based on body condition (≥3 on a 5-point scale) and confirmed ovarian activity. The six treatments (n = 320 each) were: T1 (9-d CIDR, ECP on insertion, PGF2α on day 9, ECP on day 10, FTAI 54 h after removal); T2 (7-d CIDR, ECP on insertion, PGF2α on day 7, ECP on day 8, FTAI 54 h after removal); T3 (7-d CIDR, GnRH on insertion, PGF2α on day 7, FTAI and GnRH 48 h after removal); T4 (7-d CIDR, GnRH on insertion, PGF2α on day 6, FTAI and GnRH 48 h after removal); T5 (7-d CIDR, GnRH on insertion, PGF2α on day 7, FTAI and GnRH 60 h after removal); and T6 (7-d CIDR, GnRH on insertion, PGF2α on day 7, FTAI alone 48 h after removal). Pregnancy was diagnosed ultrasonically 45 days after FTAI. Analyses included pregnancy rates and treatment costs (hormones and handling). Pregnancy rates ranged from 31.6 ± 3.9 to 48.0 ± 10.6%; neither treatment nor county affected these rates (p > 0.05). In conclusion, the inclusion of treatment costs showed two more economical treatments (T2 using estradiol or T3 using GnRH) under the nutritional, weather and handling conditions present in the tropical region of southeastern Tamaulipas.

The present study measured the in situ digestibility and ruminal degradability of dry matter of rations with different levels of calcium soaps of tallow (CST). The samples of the four rations with CST at levels of 0% (T1), 1.5% (T2), 3.0% (T3) or 4.5% (T4) were incubated in the rumen of a fistulated yearling steer. The nylon bag technique was used to determine the in situ digestibility and ruminal dry matter degradability. A completely randomized design was used, with 4 treatment diets and 4 repetitions. Rapidly-soluble fraction (a) or in situ digestibility of DM at 0 h of incubation was higher in T1 than T3 (P<0.05). The non soluble but degradable fraction (b) and constant of degradation (c) were higher in T3 than T1 (P>0.05). Potential (a+b) degradability was similar (P>0.05) between treatments. Effective degradation modeled at low ruminal turnover (1%/h) was lower in T4 than T1 (P<0.05); however, at higher ruminal turnover (5 and 8% per h), CST did not influence effective degradation of dry matter (P>0.05). In conclusion, CST in the ration influenced ruminal fermentation during the first hours of incubation. However, effective degradability at medium and high ruminal turnover was not affected by CST level in diets.

Orange jasmine (OJ) is a common ornamental plant used as green hedge in public and private gardens in Mexico. It also hosts Huanglongbing, a worldwide citrus disease and its vector, Diaphorina citri. For risk analysis and management purpose is important to know its geographic distribution. The potential distribution of OJ was calculated in Mexico using a deductive approach. Based on temperature and precipitation requirements, a relative suitability index was computed by combining the normalized values of both variables. The distribution was overlapped with captures of D. citri to check their spatial similarity. The results showed that the potential of occurrence is high in the Pacific and Gulf of México coastal states, including the Yucatán peninsula, and the lowest values appeared in the north-western states. The OJ distribution overlaps with Huanglongbing occurrence and coincided with captures of D. citri for most of the suitable area but D. citri captures extended beyond the optimal OJ distribution values in the northern regions of Mexico.

The aim of this paper was to determine the current status of the production and marketing of avocado crop in the south of the State of Mexico in 2011. The sample size was set since the whole of registered producers in the “SEDAGRO” data base, made up of 2,814; therefore taking into account the methodology of finite populations. Sample size was of 338, to whom a survey was applied. The survey´s quantitative data was recorded and processed with Microsoft Office Excel 2007 ©, to get measures of central tendency. In the State of Mexico 85% of the studied population are small producers and just 15% have larger areas than 10 ha. The production is based on univarietal exploitation where Hass variety predominates with 90%. The increase in number of avocado crops has been done in 77% with plants coming from the State of Michoacan. Production is directed to domestic consumption; it is mainly commercialized in wholesale market places from Toluca and Mexico City as well as in regional markets.
