Mexican journals of educational research towards mainstream dissemination of science

The purpose of this study is to analyze the Electronic Journal of Educational Research (REDIE) on its path towards the common manner of scientific dissemination. This research presents the evolution of Mexican policy with regards to the journals, the situation of the Educational Research Mexican journals, and its profundity relating to REDIE. In its evolution, there were three moments that stood out the most: the standardization of quality criteria, the digitalization and open access of the scientific journals, those that came together with REDIE like REDALYC and LATINDEX , and the individual initiatives of those journals that motivated the development of the scientific dissemination in Mexico. The investigation concludes with the realization of the necessity of achieving agreement on the efforts of various principal actors: governmental bodies, institutions, and academic communities

Relevance, pertinence and socialization of knowledge, how researchers contribute to the innovation of Ensenada, Mexico?

Este artículo explica el papel de las comunidades científicas en la innovación regional, y la importancia de buscar tanto la excelencia científica como la pertinencia socioeconómica de su productividad. Se estudió el caso de Ensenada, Baja California, México, mediante un cuestionario aplicado a 95 investigadores. Los resultados demuestran que la comunidad de investigadores ha adquirido liderazgo nacional por la calidad de sus contribuciones, sin embargo, su impacto se limita al contexto académico. Desde esta óptica, resulta vital que los investigadores sigan garantizando la calidad de sus desarrollos, pero también que busquen responder a las necesidades del territorio.This article explains the role of scientific communities for the regional innovation, and the importance to seek scientific excellence, but also seek the relevance of their work in their socio-economic context. We study the case of Ensenada, Baja California, Mexico. For this purpose we were applied a questionnaire to 95 researchers. The results demonstrate that the scientific community has acquired national leadership for the quality of their contributions, however, its impact seldom goes beyond the academic environment. From this perspective, we argue that it is vital that the researchers not only strive for the quality of scientific publications, but they also look for meeting the local and regional development requirements

Cultural and Creative Industries A Path to Entrepreneurship and Innovation

Writing or editing a book on cultural and creative industries is not an easy task. The scope of these industries and the numerous topics discussed (or that could be discussed) by researchers is very broad. Adding the vast domains of entrepreneurship and innovation makes the task even more challenging but makes the whole endeavor much more signifcant and rewarding. Therefore, the editors and authors of the book have to be commended for undertaking this project. There was no hesitation from my side when José Álvarez-García from the University of Extremadura, Cáceres (Spain), asked me to review the book and to write its foreword. Cultural and creative industries are not only an important component of the economy, stimulating the cultural development and well-being of local communities, but also attract signifcant numbers of tourists and improve their destination experience. That is why researching the entrepreneurial and innovation aspects of cultural and creative industries is an important contribution to the body of knowledge. I approached the book from different angles. From a theoretical perspective, we can see that most of the chapters are directly related to core topics in cultural and creative industries research: the conceptual overview of cultural and creative industries; a bibliographic analysis of publications in the feld; the relationships between the level of transborder activity and the creative potential of different visual arts in Tijuana (Mexico); the entanglement of art, science, and social change in the art collective Torolab in Tijuana (Mexico); cultural, social, and sustainable entrepreneurship in Tibet; an analysis of the international institutions involved in creative tourism; and the role of a culinary arts school for developing innovative culinary skills. At the same time, other book chapters discuss topics that are more indirectly connected to creative and cultural industries, but nonetheless provide a special favor and richness to the theoretical content of the book and expand its theoretical scope beyond the traditional arrays of research in the feld of cultural and creative [email protected] vi industries. Such topics include innovation and creativity in mobile health applications; the role of creative industries, gamifcation, and technologies in promoting healthy lifestyles; evolution, innovation, and competitiveness of the craft beer industry in Baja California (Mexico); wine tourism in Bullas’ Wine Route in Murcia (Spain); and women’s participation in the wine industry in Baja California (Mexico). From a research methods perspective, we see that the authors approached the achievement of the aims and objectives of their research studies by adopting various research methods such as bibliographic analysis, qualitative studies (in-depth semistructured interviews, content analysis), or quantitative methods such as econometric modeling. The authors defnitely have a preference for qualitative methods, while quantitative methods for data analysis have received much less emphasis. Considering the aims and objectives of the book chapters, such choice seems logical and appropriate. From a geographical perspective, most of the chapters of the book have a clear focus on Mexico and other Spanish-speaking countries, with the exception of one chapter that discusses entrepreneurship in Tibet, China. Although a broader selection of countries would have added value to the book and would have increased its international appeal, the current empirical context contributes to our understanding of how cultural and creative industries shape the cultural and economic scape in the analyzed countries. From a destination management (tourism policy) perspective, the book gives tourism policy makers valuable insights into how to use cultural and creative industries to attract visitors to destinations and engage them in various activities in order to create memorable destination experiences. From a pedagogical perspective, the book would be a suitable addition to the reading lists for undergraduate and master courses on cultural studies, cultural and tourism anthropology, cultural and creative tourism, or special interest tourism. I trust the readers would enjoy the book and would fnd value in it chapters that could be referred to for research and/or used as teaching case studies. The ideas and problems set in the book could serve as frm groundwork for future studies as well. Enjoy

Study and Mapping of Cultural and Creative Industry Ecosystems in Tijuana

The Center for International Private Enterprise (CIPE) strengthens democratic institutions worldwide through participation in private enterprises and market reforms. Since its foundation in 1983, CIPE has collaborated with business leaders, public officials, and journalists to support the vital civic organizations for a democratic society. One of the key initiatives is strengthening entrepreneurship ecosystems, and advancing policies for economic development focused on youth and the participation of women. In Latin America, CIPE has collaborated with civic organizations and business groups to develop projects that prompt civic participation. For example, in the last five years, CIPE has supported efforts in Guatemala to strengthen entrepreneurship in the creative industries. In Mexico, CIPE supports several projects. In Tijuana, it established a collaborative agreement with Tijuana Innovadora in 2021 to propel the creative industries and increase youth and women's participation in these industries

Search for Kaluza-Klein Graviton Emission in ppˉp\bar{p} Collisions at s=1.8\sqrt{s}=1.8 TeV using the Missing Energy Signature

We report on a search for direct Kaluza-Klein graviton production in a data sample of 84 ${pb}^{-1}$ of \ppb collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 1.8 TeV, recorded by the Collider Detector at Fermilab. We investigate the final state of large missing transverse energy and one or two high energy jets. We compare the data with the predictions from a $3+1+n$-dimensional Kaluza-Klein scenario in which gravity becomes strong at the TeV scale. At 95% confidence level (C.L.) for $n$=2, 4, and 6 we exclude an effective Planck scale below 1.0, 0.77, and 0.71 TeV, respectively.Comment: Submitted to PRL, 7 pages 4 figures/Revision includes 5 figure

Measurement of the average time-integrated mixing probability of b-flavored hadrons produced at the Tevatron

We have measured the number of like-sign (LS) and opposite-sign (OS) lepton pairs arising from double semileptonic decays of $b$ and $\bar{b}$-hadrons, pair-produced at the Fermilab Tevatron collider. The data samples were collected with the Collider Detector at Fermilab (CDF) during the 1992-1995 collider run by triggering on the existence of $\mu \mu$ and $e \mu$ candidates in an event. The observed ratio of LS to OS dileptons leads to a measurement of the average time-integrated mixing probability of all produced $b$-flavored hadrons which decay weakly, $\bar{\chi} = 0.152 \pm 0.007$ (stat.) $\pm 0.011$ (syst.), that is significantly larger than the world average $\bar{\chi} = 0.118 \pm 0.005$.Comment: 47 pages, 10 figures, 15 tables Submitted to Phys.

Measurement of the polarisation of W bosons produced with large transverse momentum in pp collisions at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV with the ATLAS experiment

This paper describes an analysis of the angular distribution of W->enu and W->munu decays, using data from pp collisions at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV recorded with the ATLAS detector at the LHC in 2010, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of about 35 pb^-1. Using the decay lepton transverse momentum and the missing transverse energy, the W decay angular distribution projected onto the transverse plane is obtained and analysed in terms of helicity fractions f0, fL and fR over two ranges of W transverse momentum (ptw): 35 < ptw < 50 GeV and ptw > 50 GeV. Good agreement is found with theoretical predictions. For ptw > 50 GeV, the values of f0 and fL-fR, averaged over charge and lepton flavour, are measured to be : f0 = 0.127 +/- 0.030 +/- 0.108 and fL-fR = 0.252 +/- 0.017 +/- 0.030, where the first uncertainties are statistical, and the second include all systematic effects.Comment: 19 pages plus author list (34 pages total), 9 figures, 11 tables, revised author list, matches European Journal of Physics C versio

Observation of a new chi_b state in radiative transitions to Upsilon(1S) and Upsilon(2S) at ATLAS

The chi_b(nP) quarkonium states are produced in proton-proton collisions at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV and recorded by the ATLAS detector. Using a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 4.4 fb^-1, these states are reconstructed through their radiative decays to Upsilon(1S,2S) with Upsilon->mu+mu-. In addition to the mass peaks corresponding to the decay modes chi_b(1P,2P)->Upsilon(1S)gamma, a new structure centered at a mass of 10.530+/-0.005 (stat.)+/-0.009 (syst.) GeV is also observed, in both the Upsilon(1S)gamma and Upsilon(2S)gamma decay modes. This is interpreted as the chi_b(3P) system.Comment: 5 pages plus author list (18 pages total), 2 figures, 1 table, corrected author list, matches final version in Physical Review Letter

Search for displaced vertices arising from decays of new heavy particles in 7 TeV pp collisions at ATLAS

We present the results of a search for new, heavy particles that decay at a significant distance from their production point into a final state containing charged hadrons in association with a high-momentum muon. The search is conducted in a pp-collision data sample with a center-of-mass energy of 7 TeV and an integrated luminosity of 33 pb^-1 collected in 2010 by the ATLAS detector operating at the Large Hadron Collider. Production of such particles is expected in various scenarios of physics beyond the standard model. We observe no signal and place limits on the production cross-section of supersymmetric particles in an R-parity-violating scenario as a function of the neutralino lifetime. Limits are presented for different squark and neutralino masses, enabling extension of the limits to a variety of other models.Comment: 8 pages plus author list (20 pages total), 8 figures, 1 table, final version to appear in Physics Letters

Standalone vertex finding in the ATLAS muon spectrometer

A dedicated reconstruction algorithm to find decay vertices in the ATLAS muon spectrometer is presented. The algorithm searches the region just upstream of or inside the muon spectrometer volume for multi-particle vertices that originate from the decay of particles with long decay paths. The performance of the algorithm is evaluated using both a sample of simulated Higgs boson events, in which the Higgs boson decays to long-lived neutral particles that in turn decay to bbar b final states, and pp collision data at √s = 7 TeV collected with the ATLAS detector at the LHC during 2011
