The U.S.-Mexico Commission for Educational and Cultural Exchange, COMEXUS, was founded on November 27, 1990, in Monterrey, Nuevo León, by means of a bilateral agreement, signed before the presidents of both countries. The goal of the Commission consists of promoting mutual understanding between Mexico and the U nited S tates b y m eans of educational a nd c ultural e xchanges. In ord er t o a chieve t his goal, COMEXUS offers d istinct s cholarship p rograms f or s tudents, r esearchers, u niversity professors, public school teachers and administrators, and professionals of both countries. The Commission is a Mexican non-profit organization that receives its funding from both the U.S. and Mexican governments. Additionally, the Commission is managed by a Board of Directors made up of five Mexican citizens and five United States citizens. Within each group of f ive, t wo a re p ublic s ervants a nd t he r emainder a re representatives of t he p rivate s ector and academia. The U nited S tates g overnment’s f lagship a cademic e xchange p rogram w as e stablished in 1946, t hanks to t he i nitiative o f th en Ar kansas Se nator, J. W illiam Fulbright. So on a fter, it became known worldwide as t he “Fulbright Program.” U nder an agreement b y t he Board o f Directors in January of 1992, all of the Commission’s sch olarship programs financed by both governments from this date on were to be henceforth named “Fulbright-García Robles,” thus incorporating t he s urnames of M exican A mbassador Em eritus a nd N obel P eace Prize w inner, Alfonso García Robles.

It is a modest program with an immodest aim - the achievement in international affairs of a regime more civilized, rational and humane than the empty system of power of the past...” (Senator J. William Fulbright) Becoming a Fulbrighter means you have joined a very special group of more than 250,000 alumni in approximately 140 countries who, since 1946, have become heads of state, judges, ambassadors, cabinet ministers, CEO’s, university presidents, journalists, artists, and especially professors and teachers who have influenced thousands of others. You have been awarded a Fulbright grant not only for your academic and/or professional excellence but because of your leadership potential. While each grantee has a specific teaching, research or professional project to pursue, it is important to recognize that all Fulbrighters ultimately promote mutual understanding and respect between the United States and other nations. In this sense, Fulbrighters are “cultural ambassadors” to their host countries and active and involved members of their communities upon returning home. Here are some ways to enrich your Fulbright experience: In the host country, Fulbrighters: • Meet as many people as possible in all walks of life by speaking and writing about their countries to interested groups. • Participate in a broad range of social and community activities in addition to pursuing their academic or professional objectives. • Continue to learn about the history and culture of their host countries. Upon returning home, Fulbrighters: • Speak and write about their Fulbright experience as widely as possible. • Support the Fulbright Program in their countries through various activities such as becoming involved with alumni activities, serving on selection committees, and hosting visiting Fulbrighters. Becoming a Fulbrighter is a life long commitment! J.

  • PEATONALIZACIÓN DE LA CALLE MADERO DEL CENTRO HISTÓRICO DE LA CIUDAD DE MÉXICO Análisis Del Cambio En El Ámbito Comercial
    PEATONALIZACIÓN DE LA CALLE MADERO DEL CENTRO HISTÓRICO DE LA CIUDAD DE MÉXICO Análisis del cambio en el ámbito comercial Clara ORTEGA GARCÍA Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana. Unidad Azcapotzalco Directora: Mtra. Ma. del Carmen Bernárdez de la Granja Mail: [email protected] RESUMEN Existe en la Ciudad de México, como en otros lugares, una tendencia que ha protagonizado las revitalizaciones de espacios públicos realizadas en los últimos años, se trata de la peatonalización de calles o avenidas. Dicho tipo de intervención es, definitivamente impactante en cuanto que modifica determinantemente el uso y percepción del espacio. La constante insistencia por la necesidad de revitalizar el Centro Histórico de la Ciudad de México ha provocado, además de una evidente transformación de imagen urbana, otras mutaciones en el espacio urbano, cambios muy evidentes de carácter social, espacial y económico principalmente. Lo que aquí se presenta, es un análisis de éste tipo de intervención, realizada en la calle Francisco I. Madero, arteria vital del centro histórico, que cerró el tránsito vehicular en 2010 para priorizar el acceso exclusivamente peatonal al centro de la ciudad; los impactos generados a partir de éste suceso, principalmente en el ámbito comercial. Palabras clave: Centro Histórico, Revitalización, Peatonalización ABSTRACT In Mexico City exists a trend, as in other places, that has played a main role in the revitalization of public spaces in recent years: the pedestrianisation of streets or avenues. Such an intervention has an important impact since it crucially modifies the use and perception of space. Constant insistence for the need to revitalize Mexico City's Historic Center has caused, in addition to a clear transformation of urban image, other important mutations in the urban space, mainly of social, spatial and economic nature.

The copyright of this thesis rests with the author. Quotation from it is permitted, provided that full acknowledgement is made. This thesis may not be reproduced without my prior written consent.

Abstract 3 Abstract This thesis looks at how Mexico’s new democratic regime led by President Vicente Fox (2000–2006) faced past state crimes perpetrated during the Institutional Revolutionary Party’s (PRI’s) seventy-year authoritarian rule (1929–2000). To test the new regime’s democratic viability, Fox’s administration had to settle accounts with the PRI for the abuses the party had perpetrated in the past, but without upsetting it in order to preserve the stability of the new regime.

Aflatoxins are toxic secondary metabolites – bifuran coumarins – produced by the fungi Aspergillus spp. AFs cause damage in animals and humans, including bleeding, vomiting, abortions, malformations, diarrhea and death. AFs can cause chronic liver damage and different cancers, immunosuppression, Reye’s syndrome, kwashiorkor and marasmus. For the present research, 58 samples of peanut were obtained: 48 were purchased from the three major markets of the 16 boroughs of Mexico City, and eight samples from Turkey and two from India were used for comparison. The extraction and quantification methods for AFs in peanut were validated. AFs from 25 g peanut samples were extracted with 100 mL of methanol/water (80:20 v/v) with one gram of salt.
