Feminist Activism in Hip-Hop Culture in México: Batallones Femeninos and Mare Advertencia Lirika

In a Mexican political context permeated by drug-related violence, organised crime, and violence against women and feminised bodies, young women with different class and ethnic backgrounds are using hip-hop culture to denounce the government and create consciousness in relation to feminicide in the country. This thesis focuses on the work of the female rap collective Batallones Femeninos (Women’s Battalions) which originated in the frontier of Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua, and of Mare Advertencia Lirika, from the southern state of Oaxaca. Immersed in heavily male-dominated hip-hop culture, the female rappers in my research emerge as openly feminist artists and position their feminisms with reference to very particular geographical contexts, and class and ethnic backgrounds. In the case of Batallones, their feminism is informed by specific experiences in el barrio (the hood), of Juárez and Mexico City, the influence of autonomous Zapatismo, and their travels through the country. Mare’s feminism is also influenced by her travels, but mostly by her identity as a Zapotec woman and the practices of comunalidad, characteristic among the indigenous groups of her hometown, Oaxaca. Both these artists generate networks, mainly among women, that allow them to travel, produce their music, and organise their concerts and workshops. I define these networks as redes extendidas de sororidad (extended sorority networks) by which women from different backgrounds, regardless of their autonomous or institutional feminist locations, support Batallones and Mare in the fight against feminicide, in consciousness-raising towards women’s autonomy, and in questioning the foundational myth of mestizaje as the Mexican national identity. Travelling was at the core of my fieldwork during the feminist ethnography reflected in this thesis. I accompanied the members of Batallones and Mare on their music tours and while they conducted workshops in different locations in México. During these travels, I immersed myself in Batallones’s and Mare’s historical contexts, either at the desert Juárez frontier or in rebellious Oaxaca. In this way, I had the opportunity to experience first-hand the construction of redes de sororidad, the key role played by their located geographic problematics, and the impact of broader social movements on their work as well as the impact of their feminist hip-hop on their own communities and redes de sororidad. In this thesis, and in the work of my participants, feminist hip-hop becomes a space for dialogue among women from different class, ethnic, racial backgrounds, and a space for articulating the possibilities for an enduring feminist autonomous consciousness

Therapy Dogs as a Wellness Incentive for Stress Management on a College Campus

There are a variety of studies which show the benefits of animal assisted therapy on mental health but the effectiveness of on-campus animal program interventions has not been as well investigated. In the current study, college students’ stress and self-efficacy levels were measured before and after interacting with a therapy dog or after participating in a control condition. It was found that there were significant differences for both the Perceived Stress Scale and General Self-Efficacy pre- and post-tests but no differences between the animal and control conditions

PROPUESTA DE PROGRAMA DE TERAPIA ACUÁTICA PARA TRATAR ALTERACIONES DEL EQUILIBRIO EN ADULTOS MAYORES.

El objetivo de este trabajo de investigación fue elaborar una propuesta para un programa de terapia acuática para tratar alteraciones del equilibrio en adultos mayores y así brindar tanto a los pacientes como a los terapeutas físicos otra alternativa de tratamiento para las alteraciones del equilibrio. Esta propuesta está basada en el estudio de diversas fuentes bibliográficas referentes al tema abordado, en el cual se buscó y recolecto la información precisa para brindar información detallada a los terapeutas físicos y contribuir a dar a conocer un tratamiento poco explorado. Actualmente, a nivel mundial se observa un aumento de población de adultos mayores y en el proceso del envejecimiento son dos factores los que deben considerase por su relevancia: los biológicos y los físicos, los cuales producen cambios importantes en las células, tejidos, órganos y sistemas dentro del organismo; esto se acentúa cuando se ven alteradas ciertas funciones físicas, como la pérdida de movilidad, la fuerza en los músculos, y alteraciones en el equilibrio.UAEM, la autora

Razones para vivir y afrontamiento en mujeres privadas de su libertad

En la presente investigación se explora la relación entre las razones para vivir y estilos de afrontamiento, en un grupo de 45 mujeres entre 18 y 30 años de edad internas de un Establecimiento Penitenciario de Lima Metropolitana. Para esto, se utilizó el inventario Razones para Vivir en Jóvenes Adultos (RFL-YA) y la versión abreviada del inventario COPE. Asimismo, se analizan algunas variables sociodemográficas, como la edad, estado civil, grado de instrucción, lugar de nacimiento y tiempo de residencia en Lima; y jurídicas, como situación jurídica, delito, tiempo de reclusión y sentencia, entre otras. Los resultados mostraron una correlación positiva y significativa entre tres de las áreas del RFL-YA, Relaciones Familiares, Expectativas a Futuro y Autoevaluación Positiva con Afrontamiento Activo.The present study explores the relationship between reasons for living and coping in a group of 45 incarcerated women between 18 and 30 years old. The instruments used were the Reasons for Living Inventory for Young Adults (RFL-YA) and the Brief Cope Inventory. It also analyzed some sociodemographic variables such as age, marital status, level of education, place of birth and residence time in Lima; and legal, as legal status, crime, prison time and judgment, among others. The results showed a positive and significant correlation between three areas of RFL-YA, Family Relationships, Future Expectations and Positive Self-Evaluation with Active Coping.Tesi

La Toxocariosis, un gran problema de la Salud Pública:

Los parásitos Toxocara sp., son productores de la larva migrans visceralis (LMV). El cuadro de LMV ocurre principalmente en niños de 1 a 5 años con antecedentes de geofagia, contaminados con heces de caninos o felinos infectados. No existen datos ni antecedentes de la temática en la ciudad de Salta, por lo cual consideramos de importancia abocarnos a investigar sobre esta parasitosis. Se muestrearon y procesaron con tres métodos 34 pacientes caninos, donde 7 fueron positivos a Toxocara sp (21%) y 27 negativos (79%). De 30 plazas muestreadas fueron positivas 22 (73%) correspondientes al centro de las mismas y 17 (57%) correspondientes a la periferia de ellas. Este trabajo es el puntapié inicial para nuevas investigaciones donde se verán beneficiados tanto la Salud Pública de los pobladores de la ciudad de Salta, los caninos, sus propietarios y los médicos veterinarios que se dediquen a pequeños animales

Diabetic Retinopathy: Targeting BIGH3 to Develop Novel Molecular Therapies

Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a complication of diabetes due to damage of blood vessels in the retina. Aside from being a major cause of blindness in the world, DR also has a significant impact on quality of life. Although there are methods to delay the progression of DR, there are no existing therapeutic regimens for early intervention. Thus, it is critical to develop cost-effective therapies towards preventing DR development

Effect of PDGF-BB on Human Retinal Pericytes

Background – The majority of ocular conditions seen in patients with diabetic retinopathy are a result of damage to the retinal vasculature, which leads to microaneurysms, hemorrhage, and eventually neovascularization. The first step in the pathogenesis of these conditions is derived from the loss of Human Retinal Pericytes (HRPs), or cells which are essential to the preservation of the integrity of the retinal vasculature, and PDGF-BB is the primary promotor of growth and recruitment for HRPs. Aim - Patients with NPDR produce lower levels of PDGF-BB than in normal conditions, which could contribute to the loss of pericytes early in diabetic retinopathy. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of PDGF-BB on HRPs in vitro to determine whether or not the longevity of the HRPs can be preserved with the intent of contributing to development of therapeutic interventions for patients with diabetic retinopathy. This is the first PDGF-BB study on its effect on the viability and longevity of HRPs. Methods – Three groups of HRPs were treated with three different concentrations of PDGF-BB which correlate to concentrations found in patients with PDR, NPDR, and normal conditions. These three concentrations were also compared with a negative control group which was not treated. After 24 and 48 hours the viable cells were counted by triptan blue measurements. The results were reported by evaluating viable cells at 24 and 48 hours, growth of each group between these time periods, and significant growth differences between groups at each time period. Each group was grown in triplicates and an average from these triplicates was used during analysis. Results – Of the results found, three were clinically significant. Pertaining to viability, the NPDR group was the only one with a significant result at 24 hours. Growth difference analysis was significant for the PDR group at the 24-hour period. Growth difference between all groups was significant at the 24 hours mark but not at 48. Conclusion – Of the results obtained, significant results were only seen at the 24 hours period which is thought to be a result of the well space not being large enough to accommodate growth beyond the 24-hour time frame. The finding of a statistically significant difference at 24 hours but not 48 hours further suggests this as the complication as well. That being said, significant growth difference was seen with the PDR group, which was treated with high levels of PDGF-BB. This finding is consistent with the hypothesis that PDGF-BB levels encourage the growth of HRP cells. Discussion - Previous clinical trials on PDGF-BB inhibitors showed that they did not help patients with diabetic retinopathy due to the inherent deficiency of HRPs found in these patients. We anticipate results from this study will support an opposing approach by supplementing PDGF-BB, rather than blocking leading to innovative clinical outcomes
