Understanding the Role of Women as Leaders in Mexican Politics: Looking Back and Moving Forward

The constant changes that occur in a globalized world have pushed gender equality to the forefront of many debates in the western world. Nevertheless, cultural values continue to influence the way in which governments, societies, and individuals behave in regard to the roles that men and women play. In Mexico, despite the cultural values that are embedded in society, women have been able to succeed in areas where, until a few decades ago, it would have been unimaginable. During the last forty years, the Mexican government has gone through a gradual transformation that has allowed women to become an active part of the political arena. Nevertheless, the path continues to be arduous, as deep-seated social values and prejudices still influence the thoughts of many individuals. Few studies have specifically addressed the involvement of women in Mexican history and politics, especially using first-hand accounts. This study aims to fill that gap and help understand the importance of the involvement of women throughout the history of Mexico, and offer a privileged insight to their lives and experiences. To do so, twelve women who have actively participated in Mexican politics through direct appointment, elections, activism, and academia were interviewed. While the sample is small, these twelve women are part of a very small and select group of female political leaders in Mexico, which include former first ladies, ministers of the Supreme Court, senators, congresswomen, ambassadors, members of different presidential cabinets, academicians, and activists. The common themes that the women interviewed discussed were culture and prejudice, the role of traits in leadership, gender quotas, the role of first ladies, the importance of political parties, and the possibility of having a female president. None of the leaders identified as politicians first; rather, they saw their family as a primary focus. This research gives a limited but rich and useful journalistic perspective on the careers of women who have helped shape contemporary Mexico. While the small convenience sample provides a limitation to generalizing the results, the women interviewed are all key leaders in Mexican politics and their experiences can inform the role and impact of women in Mexico

Propiedades catalíticas de óxido de magnesio y de metales soportados en óxido de magnesio

Mediante la hidrólisis/condensación de etóxido de magnesio, se prepararon muestras de MgO empleando diferentes catalizadores de hidrólisis. El análisis por espectroscopía IR mostró que el catalizador de hidrólisis empleado y la temperatura de calcinación de los geles precursores, determinaron grados diferentes de hidroxila-ción superficial, mientras que el análisis por difracción de Rayos-X mostró que todas las muestras de MgO sintetizadas fueron sólidos deficientes en magnesio. Las propiedades químicas superficiales de las muestras de MgO obtenidas, fueron caracterizadas empleando como reacción de prueba la descomposición de 2-propanol en fase gaseosa a 200ºC y presión atmosférica. Se encontró que la prepa-ración clorhídrica de MgO fue extremadamente selectiva hacia la producción de pro-pano, comportamiento que contrasta con la propiedad típicamente deshidrogenante conocida para MgO obtenido por métodos convencionales. La "basicidad' de las muestras, expresada como la relación velocidad de deshidrogenaciónlvelocidad de deshidratación, sorprendentemente mostró depender -como las constantes de des-activación- del tamaño de partícula más que de la acidez de las preparaciones, que a su vez fue una función del pH de hidrólisis en el procedimiento de preparación. Las muestras de MgO estudiadas, también fueron probadas como catalizado-res en una reacción de transferencia de hidrógeno entre etanol y acetona, en fase gaseosa a 230ºC y presión atmosférica. Los rendimientos de 2-propanol y acetalde-hído no correspondieron con la estequiometría de la reaccción, tal que la selectividad hacia 2-propanol no puede ser explicada sólo en términos de la reacción de transfe-rencia de hidrógeno.Además, se encontró que dicho proceso no es favorecido en un medio de reacción oxidante, dando lugar a que se realice preferentemente la des-hidrogenación de etanol que produce acetaldehído. Finalmente, se evaluaron las propiedades catalíticas de Ru soportado en SiO2 y MgO comerciales, empleando como prueba la hidrogenación de carvona a 100ºC y a presiones de hidrógeno en el rango de 20.4-61.24 atm. La hidrogenación de carvo-na ocurrió de acuerdo con un proceso de etapas sucesivas, para el que los patrones de selectividad hacia carvotanacetona, carvomentona y carvomentoles, resultaron depender de la naturaleza del metal y del método de preparación, pero particular-mente de la naturaleza del soporte. Comparados con Ru/SiO2, los sistemas Ru/MgO obtenidos a partir de complejos polinucleares de rutenio exhibieron una elevada se-lectividad hacia carvotanacetona y hacia el isómero (axial-ecuatorial) del carvomen-tol. Las propiedades catalíticas de los sistemas Ru/MgO y Ru/SiO2, a su vez se com-pararon con las de un sistema catalítico típico de hidrogenación tal como Pt/SiO2

Integrated microscopy approaches in archaeobotany: proceedings of the 2016 and 2017 workshops, University of Reading, UK

Archaeobotany is the study of archaeological plant remains, which include macroremains, such as seeds and wood charcoal, and a range of associated microfossils, such as phytoliths, pollen, spores and starch grains. These papers showcase a range of microscopy approaches that can be applied to examine and interpret botanical and organic assemblages in the archaeological record, and to address a range of topical research themes and current debates in archaeology, such as environmental management, human responses to environmental change and sustainable life-ways spanning a broad geographical and chronological time periods. Soil micromorphology is a technique that enables the formation and post-depositional processes of archaeological deposits to be understood by reconstructing sediment histories. It allows archaeobotanical remains to be examined within their depositional context to provide a micro-contextual interpretation of the evidence, and to understand different types of archaeobotanical remains in a range of preservation conditions. As with many other proxies, formation processes and taphonomy are key issues in the study of any type of plant remains, and this is reflected in several contributions of this volume.Funding, administrative and technical support has been provided by the School of Archaeology, Geography and Environmental Science for the successful development of the IMAA workshops, and we thank the Association for Environmental Archaeology, Beta Analytic and Quaternary Scientific (QUEST) for their sponsorship.

Evolución de una hernia perineal canina resuelta por transposición del músculo semitendinoso

The objective of the present research was to determinate the clinical evolution of a case of perineal hernia in an 11-year-old canine half breed, solved by the technique of the transposition of the semitendinous muscle. Post-operative clinical evaluations were made, evaluating presence / absence of pathologies of healing such as ulcers, fistulas, hypertrophic scars, keloids, seromas and tumefactions. The results obtained at 30 days of evaluation, showed no pain, inflammation, ulcer, fistula, seroma, hypertrophic scar, keloid and recurrent bulging, all considered favorable signs within the present study. The tissue manipulation, due to the fairly wide incision, did not generate complication beyond the hemorrhage, being an effective technique.El objetivo del trabajo fue determinar la evolución clínica de un caso de hernia perineal en un canino mestizo, macho de 11 años, resuelto por la técnica de transposición del músculo semitendinoso.

Shape and structure of N=Z 64Ge; Electromagnetic transition rates from the application of the Recoil Distance Method to knock-out reaction

Transition rate measurements are reported for the first and the second 2+ states in N=Z 64Ge. The experimental results are in excellent agreement with large-scale Shell Model calculations applying the recently developed GXPF1A interactions. Theoretical analysis suggests that 64Ge is a collective gamma-soft anharmonic vibrator. The measurement was done using the Recoil Distance Method (RDM) and a unique combination of state-of-the-art instruments at the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory (NSCL). States of interest were populated via an intermediate-energy single-neutron knock-out reaction. RDM studies of knock-out and fragmentation reaction products hold the promise of reaching far from stability and providing lifetime information for excited states in a wide range of nuclei
