En la ciudad de la esperanza. Las dinámicas sociales de la juventud en los espacios públicos contiguos al templo de San Hipólito

El ensayo destaca las prácticas sociales de la juventud que solía reunirse en las plazas públicas aledañas al Templo de San Hipólito, con motivo de la celebración litúrgica mensual a San Judas Tadeo. Destacamos la inhalación de “monas”, el baile del reggaetón, la socialización y la manifestación pública de la devoción como las dinámicas a través de las cuales este tipo de juventud, a la que llamamos religiosa, solía apropiarse de los espacios públicos, especialmente en Plaza Zarco, contiguos al Templo. Si bien, más de estas prácticas sociales son administrativa y jurídicamente castigables, por la Ley de Cultura Cívica del DF, esto no justifica la punición y criminalización que de esta juventud se hizo, vía los cuerpos policiacos, pues argumentamos, bajo nuestra hipótesis de trabajo, que las conductas en el espacio público son un reflejo de la posición que ocupa este tipo de juventud en el espacio social; entonces, detrás del consumo de drogas y los bailes con alto contenido sexual en el espacio público, existe una serie de necesidades insatisfechas y derechos sociales no garantizados para este tipo de juventud. Concluimos que las acciones que restablecieron el orden en los espacios públicos donde se reunían estos jóvenes, fueron estériles en la medida que no atacaron la raíz estructural del problema de la “juventud religiosa”.The essay highlights the social practices of the youth that used to get together in public plazas near “Parroquia de San Hipólito” Saint Hippolytus’s church, to celebrate the monthly San Judas Tadeo’s mass. We would like to make special mention to the inhale of the called “monas” (solvents), the dance of the reggaetón music, the socialization and public manifestation of their devotions like the dynamics through which this type of youth, the one we called religious used to take possession of the Zarco Plaza, next to the church. Most of the se practices are punishable in an administrative and jurisdictional way by the Civilian Cultural Law of Mexico City. This doesn’t justify the punishment and criminal way these young ones were treated by the police forces. In our job hypothesis we sustain that the behaviors we see in the public spaces are a re flection of the ranking a young person has in a society context. Behind the drug’s use and sexual dances of these teenagers we can find a lot of unsatised needs during their life and lack of human social rights towards them. We conclude that the actions that managed to stabilize the order in public spaces were sterile and didn’t attack the structural roots of the “religious youth” problem

Active Surveillance of Antimicrobial Resistance and Carbapenemase-Encoding Genes According to Sites of Care and Age Groups in Mexico: Results from the INVIFAR Network

We analyzed the antimicrobial resistance (AMR) data of 6519 clinical isolates of Escherichia coli (n = 3985), Klebsiella pneumoniae (n = 775), Acinetobacter baumannii (n = 163), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (n = 781), Enterococcus faecium (n = 124), and Staphylococcus aureus (n = 691) from 43 centers in Mexico. AMR assays were performed using commercial microdilution systems (37/43) and the disk diffusion susceptibility method (6/43). The presence of carbapenemase-encoding genes was assessed using PCR. Data from centers regarding site of care, patient age, and clinical specimen were collected. According to the site of care, the highest AMR was observed in E. coli, K. pneumoniae, and P. aeruginosa isolates from ICU patients. In contrast, in A. baumannii, higher AMR was observed in isolates from hospitalized non-ICU patients. According to age group, the highest AMR was observed in the ≥60 years age group for E. coli, E. faecium, and S. aureus, and in the 19–59 years age group for A. baumannii and P. aeruginosa. According to clinical specimen type, a higher AMR was observed in E. coli, K. pneumoniae, and P. aeruginosa isolates from blood specimens. The most frequently detected carbapenemase-encoding gene in E. coli was blaNDM (84%)
