Analysis Of Urban Planning Instruments in Comala,Colima,Mexico(1997-2009)from a Gender Perspective-A Secondary Publication

This work is carried out based on the analysis of urban planning instruments,taking the gender perspective as a foundation.It arises from the inclusion of women in the participation of urban development,through an analysis of the gender gaps that have marked the history of women,the inequalities serve as a basis for carrying out this study.It highlights the challenges we face today as a society in the process of building citizen participation,where we must all be recognized and have equal opportunities within the territory in which we live.This article analyzes the extent to which the Municipal Urban Development Programs of the Mexican municipality of Comala,Colima,Mexico,consider the recommendations on gender and urbanism,established since the 1990s by international entities and applied transversally to urban planning policies.Considerable differences are found between women and men in terms of empowerment and participation in urban territorial planning instruments,mainly in the oldest instrument(1997).Significant progress is observed in the most recent document and is currently in force in the municipality of Comala(2009).

Sintering study of Ti6Al4V powders with different particle sizes and their mechanical properties

Ti6Al4V powders with three different particle size distributions(0–20, 20–45, and 45–75 μm) were used to evaluate the effect of the particle size distribution on the solid-state sintering and their mechanical properties. The sintering kinetics was determined by dilatometry at temperatures from 900 to 1260°C. The mechanical properties of the sintered samples were evaluated by microhardness and compression tests. The sintering kinetics indicated that the predominant mechanism depends on the relative density irrespective of the particle size used. The mechanical properties of the sintered samples are adversely affected by increasing pore volume fraction. The elastic Young's modulus and yield stress follow a power law function of the relative density. The fracture behavior after compression is linked to the neck size developed during sintering, exhibiting two different mechanisms of failure: interparticle neck breaking and intergranular cracking in samples with relative densities below and above of 90%, respectively. The main conclusion is that relative density is responsible for the kinetics, mechanical properties, and failure behavior of Ti6 Al4 V powders.

Comparison of Apigenin,Quercetin and Kaempferol Accumulation and Total Flavonoid Content in Leaves,Embryogenic Cultures and Cell Suspension Cultures of Parsley(Petroselinum crispum)

In recent years,there has been a growing interest in exploring alternative treatments for bone defects.Bone tissue engineering has turned its attention to plant extracts containing osteogenic flavonoids as potential promoters of bone regeneration.In our study,we specifically investigated the extract of Petroselinum crispum,a plant known for its abundance of osteogenic flavonoids such as apigenin,quercetin,and kaempferol.Our objective was to compare the total flavonoid content(TFC)and their accumulation in different sources.We obtained hydrolyzed aqueous extracts from the leaves of parsley plants(grown for 12 weeks in the field),weekly embryogenic cultures,and suspension cell cultures.The TFC,measured in mg quercetin equivalent per gram of dry weight(QE mg/g dw),was found to be 53.81±0.97 for 52 g dw of leaves(1 kg plant fw),31.10±1.52 for 420 g dw of embryogenic cultures,and 11.80±0.76 for 210 g dw of cell suspensions.Notably,only the leaves and embryogenic cultures showed significant accumulation of osteogenic flavonoids,with apigenin levels of 1.8±0.3 and 0.32±0.02 mg/g dw,and kaempferol levels of 1.0±0.18 and 0.2±0.01 mg/g dw,respectively.Our findings indicate that embryogenic cultures have the potential to produce up to 40%more apigenin in 12 weeks compared to 1 kg of parsley plant,thanks to their superior biomass reproductive competence.These results present a promising biotechnological approach for generating extracts enriched with bioactive compounds,which can be further utilized in in vitro osteogenic testing.

Inactivation of Air-Suspended-Cells Through Ion Energy

Cold plasma at room temperature and pressure is an emerging and novel tool for the inactivation of cell derived from its ionic energy,which is capable of breaking bonds such as carbon-carbon,carbon-hydrogen,carbon-oxygen,among others,these being the ones that support the biological structure of microorganisms.This work tries to create its own infrastructure that includes a high voltage source,an infrared trigger which reduces the effect of the ozone created,an ionic reactor in which the plasma acts at atmospheric temperature and pressure,and a magnetic field that allow aligning the plasma to the combined processes that are carried out.

Impact of data balancing a multiclass dataset before the creation of association rules to study bacterial vaginosis

Background Bacterial vaginosis is a polymicrobial syndrome in which the homeostasis exerted by the Latobacillus species that protect the vaginal mucosa has been lost.This study explored the data balancing process with the intention of improving the quality of association rules.The article aimed to balance the unbalanced multiclass dataset to improve association rule creation.Methods A dataset with 201 observations and 58 variables was analyzed.A preconstructed dataset was used.The authors collected the data between August 2016 and October 2018 in Tabasco,Mexico.The study population comprised sexually active women ages 18 to 50 who underwent gynecological inspection at the infectious and metabolic diseases research laboratory at the Universidad Juarez Autonoma de Tabasco.To determine the best κ-value,the random-forest algorithm was used and the balancing was performed with the synthetic minority over-sampling technique(SMOTE),random over-sampling examples(ROSE),and adaptive syntetic sampling approach for imbalanced learning(ADASYN)algorithms.The Apriori algorithm created the rules and to select rules with statistical significance,the is.redundant(),is.significant(),and is.maximal()functions and quality metric Fisher’s exact tes were used.The biological validation was carried out by the expert(bacteriologist).Results The ADASYN algorithm at K=9 the out of the bag(OOB)error was zero,this was the best𝐾-values.In the balancing process the ADASYN algorithm show best the performance.From the dataset balanced with ADASYN,the apriori algorithm created the association rules and the selection with the quality metric Fisher’s exact test,and the biological validation reported 13 rules.Gram-bacteria Atopobium vaginae,Gardnerella vaginalis,Megasphaera filotipo 1,Mycoplasma hominis and Ureaplasma parvum were detected by the apriori algorithm from the balanced dataset.Conclusion Balancing may improve the creation of association rules to efficiently model the bacteria that cause bacterial vaginosis.

A Transactive Energy Model for Smart Metering Systems Using Blockchain

The lowering cost of electricity generation technologies by renewable means has caused the role of end-users to change from being a simple consumer to a producer of their energy.This new role has been called a prosumer and has contributed to modifying electricity markets,by allowing prosumers to merchandize the energy surplus to electricity companies and other prosumers.The fundamental key to any economic transaction is trust between the parties.Recently,new technologies,such as blockchain,are transforming transaction security,and allowing decentralization of the smart power grid.This study presents the development of a transactional model of electrical energy using the infrastructure of smart metering and blockchain systems to allow the commercialization of electrical energy by prosumers.The results show that for the Mexican electricity market,they can he good alternatives hy reducing subsidies and being more profitable than current rates.
