Transnationalizing Mexican Legal Education: But, What About Students’ Expectations?

This article focuses on exploring the diversity of ways future students are exposed to law, as well as the multiple reasons that make the profession and degree attractive for them. It is based on the question “what experience or specific situation led to your interest in studying law?” that we asked almost 22,000 Mexican law students around the country at the beginning of the 2004-2005 academic year. This analysis is important because current efforts to transform legal education tend to consider only international components to incorporate into the law programs. But these reforms should also consider the regional or local needs of the participants of legal education which until now have not been taken into account. For example, as we describe in this article, one of five Mexican law students chose to study law because they or their relatives had been victims of violations to their rights, or as a result of perceiving their environment as marked by injustice, corruption and impunity. Law for them was a way to do something about it or, at least, be able to protect themselves and their families. This is a reality shared not only by other Latin American countries, but probably by most developing countries. Any reform to legal education should explore ways to incorporate the students’ ideas, interests and experiences into their studies not only to improve the program, but also to stimulate the students and increase their motivation

FT-ICR-MS approach to monitor asparagine deamidation and its isomers products in collagen from ancient bones

This project investigates the use of ultrahigh resolution mass spectrometry along with fragmentation techniques such as electron capture dissociation (ECD) and collisionally activated dissociation (CAD) to study deamidation of ancient bone, by using potential deamidation markers present in bovine collagen standards. With the application of these techniques, several marker peptides present in the digested protein standard of bovine collagen were successfully assigned. The sequences of these peptides correlated well with the reported sequences for bovine collagen in the literature. FT-ICR-MS was used to monitor deamidation of collagen by following a shift of +0.948 Da in the spectrum, resulting in a mass difference of 19 mDa from the 13C of the non-deamidated form and the 12C of the deamidated form, which can be difficult to assign due to overlap with the 13C isotopic distribution in peptides. The rate constants for the deamidation reaction were calculated, and the extent of deamidation before sample handling was determined. The methodology developed was then applied to collagen extracted from real bone samples, both modern and ancient, proving to be a useful method for monitoring asparagine deamidation before sample preparation. Differentiation of the isomers products of deamidation (aspartic and isoaspartic acid) were successfully assigned (where possible) using the diagnostic ions originated from their ECD spectra

Symmetries in Fluctuations Far from Equilibrium

Fluctuations arise universally in Nature as a reflection of the discrete microscopic world at the macroscopic level. Despite their apparent noisy origin, fluctuations encode fundamental aspects of the physics of the system at hand, crucial to understand irreversibility and nonequilibrium behavior. In order to sustain a given fluctuation, a system traverses a precise optimal path in phase space. Here we show that by demanding invariance of optimal paths under symmetry transformations, new and general fluctuation relations valid arbitrarily far from equilibrium are unveiled. This opens an unexplored route toward a deeper understanding of nonequilibrium physics by bringing symmetry principles to the realm of fluctuations. We illustrate this concept studying symmetries of the current distribution out of equilibrium. In particular we derive an isometric fluctuation relation which links in a strikingly simple manner the probabilities of any pair of isometric current fluctuations. This relation, which results from the time-reversibility of the dynamics, includes as a particular instance the Gallavotti-Cohen fluctuation theorem in this context but adds a completely new perspective on the high level of symmetry imposed by time-reversibility on the statistics of nonequilibrium fluctuations. The new symmetry implies remarkable hierarchies of equations for the current cumulants and the nonlinear response coefficients, going far beyond Onsager's reciprocity relations and Green-Kubo formulae. We confirm the validity of the new symmetry relation in extensive numerical simulations, and suggest that the idea of symmetry in fluctuations as invariance of optimal paths has far-reaching consequences in diverse fields.Comment: 8 pages, 4 figure

Néctar nutracéutico a base de Momórdica charantia L. (balsamina) y Mangífera índica L. (mango) para diabéticos tipo 2

En el presente estudio nos propusimos elaborar un néctar nutracéutico que tenga como ingredientes principales el zumo del fruto de Momórdica charantia L. (balsamina) y el extracto acuoso de corteza del árbol de Mangífera índica L. (mango), orientado a ser no solo un alimento, sino a ser un coadyuvante en el control de la hiperglicemia en personas con diabetes tipo 2. Metodológicamente, primero se determinaron los parámetros fisicoquímicos y organolépticos del zumo del fruto de Momórdica charantia L. (balsamina) y del extracto acuoso de corteza del árbol de Mangífera índica L. (mango). Luego se elaboraron 3 lotes de néctar cuya concentración estará entre 20%, 40 % y 60 % a partes iguales de zumo y extracto. La fórmula final del néctar incluye Stevia, Carboximetilcelulosa, Sorbato de potasio y aromatizante. A los lotes elaborados se les realizó el análisis organoléptico, la determinación de los parámetros fisicoquímicos y el estudio de estabilidad. En conclusión, La bebida nutracéutica obtenida a partir del zumo de balsamina (Momórdica charantia L.) tuvo un color verde claro, dulce, transparente y con olor a menta; y los parámetros fisicoquímicos de los 3 lotes de la bebida nutracéutica obtenida a partir del zumo de balsamina (Momórdica charantia L.) se encuentran dentro de las especificaciones técnicas para este tipo de productosTesi
