  • Stated Willingness to Pay for Residential Renewable Electricity
    Stated Willingness to Pay for Residential Renewable Electricity and Green Jobs in Aguascalientes, Mexico ∗ Ad´anL. Mart´ınez-Cruz1,2,3 and H´ectorM. N´u~nez2 1Department of Forest Economics and Centre for Environmental and Resource Economics (CERE), Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU), Sweden 2Department of Economics, Centro de Investigacion y Docencia Economicas (CIDE), Mexico 3Center of Economic Research (CER-ETH), ETH Zurich, Switzerland Draft Abstract Via a discrete choice experiment, this paper documents that resi- dential electricity consumers in Aguascalientes, Mexico, are willing to pay a premium for renewable energies as well as for the creation of green jobs. These results are particularly timely because the current Federal administration has redirected priorities from an energy transi- tion that was expected to boost renewable energies to the pursuing of energy sovereignty. Concerns regarding this prioritization have been raised by national and international stakeholders due to its potential economic inefficiency and its implications for the achievement of cli- mate change goals. These concerns have only intensified as discussions begin on how Mexico should face the post-coronavirus recession. This paper's findings open the door to discuss whether a combination of a just energy transition together with the boosting of renewable energies should be part of a strategy to reach energy sovereignty at the same time that Mexico deals with a post-coronavirus world. JEL Classification: Q42, Q48, Q51.

In spite of more than a decade of modest economic growth, crime and victimization rates are rising, not dropping. Nevertheless, recent information of 2017 show some signs of improvement. Criminal violence is routinely singled out as one of the top concerns of citizens from across Mexico, Central America and South America. And there are warning signs that the region´s high rates of criminal violence and victimization will continue rising if nothing is done. Latin American priorities and approaches to public security have shifted over the past two decades, with growing attention devoted to citizen security. In contrast to traditional law and order approaches to crime, citizen security privileges a more comprehensive and people-centered conceptualization of security and safety – including more data-driven policing, smarter approaches to criminal justice, alternatives to incarceration, and investments in primary, secondary and tertiary prevention.

ISBN: 978-1-63248-113-9 doi: 10.15224/ 978-1-63248-113-9-60 A TVWS Quantification Aproach for Mexico. Cuevas-Ruíz, J.L. Abstract –– In this paper a TVWS available spectrum is calculated, applying some procedures defined for regulatory authorities. The coverage was estimated using the Longley Rice method and the FCC recommendation was applied to delimit geographical zones, defining the occupied and free frequencies. Keywords –– TVWS, Longley-Rice. I. INTRODUCCTION Around the world, there is a growing demand for radio spectrum. One alternative to get more spectrum is the Secondary access to the unused spaces in TDT (Terrestrial Digital Television), named as TVWS (Television White Spaces). This alternative represent a promising application and a way to increase the spectrum efficiency. The secondary access implementation could be based on cognitive radio strategies, principally the so-called geo- localized databases; these databases will contain all the information regarding to the licenses frequencies (occupied channels) in the geographical area where the secondary users are situated, therefore they are able to identify the Figure No. 1. Coverage are for the Aguscalientes City.. unused spectrum segments, defined as TVWS. When a secondary user wants to transmit, the database assign to the The procedure to evaluate the potential TVWS is described potential secondary user a free TVWS, indicating several next. technical conditions and monitoring the link performance (duration, interference levels, etc.). The TDT cannel coverage areas were obtained using There are several uses and applications cited in the the Longley-Rice method.

Land subsidence due to groundwater withdrawal has been developing in the Aguascalientes Valley since the 1980’s. Even though the affected area is close to 900 km2, and the sinking velocity is up to 10 cm yr−1 in some zones, the main concern for valley inhabitants and local government is the occurrence of subsidence- related cracks and failures, which are developed in the surface terrain and damage buildings and infrastructure. In order to face this problem, the state government of Aguascalientes set up in 1994 an interinstitutional committee which is integrated by four working groups: (1) technical studies, (2) equilibrium of the aquifer, (3) normativity and cartography, and (4) attention to damaged infrastructure. Each working group integrates several public and private agencies whose activities are influenced by the in-progress subsidence process.

February 19, 2004 ABSTRACT This paper focuses on the Mexican deregulation/regulatory improvement unit from 1989 to the present, the UDE/COFEMER. It explains how this commission came about, operated and has created an institutional space for deregulation/regulatory improvement at the level of federal executive. It also describes how an opportunistic strategy to transform the UDE, into the Cofemer, a decentralised Commission supported by an Act, was pursued and came into fruition by 2000 and, how by 2003, it has cooperated with fourteen federal/subfederal compounds in creating fast- track start-up programmes to ease business entry. Some empirical results of the latter are presented in the Annex. JEL classification: L50, L51, K23, H11.

  • Brief Counseling and Exercise Referral Scheme a Pragmatic Trial
    RESEARCH ARTICLE Brief Counseling and Exercise Referral Scheme: A Pragmatic Trial in Mexico Katia Gallegos-Carrillo, ScD,1,2,3 Carmen García-Peña, PhD,4 Jorge Salmerón, ScD,1,5 Nelly Salgado-de-Snyder, PhD,6 Felipe Lobelo, PhD2,7 Introduction: The effectiveness of clinical–community linkages for promotion of physical activity (PA) has not been explored in low- and middle-income countries. This study assessed the effectiveness of a primary care–based, 16-week intervention rooted in behavioral theory approaches to increase compliance with aerobic PA recommendations. Study design: Pragmatic cluster randomized trial. Setting/participants: Patients had diagnosed (o5 years) hypertension, were aged 35–70 years, self-reported as physically inactive, had a stated intention to engage in PA, and attended Primary Healthcare Centers in the Social Security health system in Cuernavaca, Mexico. Of 23 Primary Healthcare Centers, four were selected based on proximity (5 km radius) to a center. Intervention: Each center was randomized to a brief PA counseling (BC, n¼2) or an exercise referral (ER, n¼2) intervention. The study was conducted between 2011 and 2012. Main outcome measures: Change in objectively measured PA levels (ActiGraph GT3X accelerometers) at baseline, 16, and 24 weeks. Intention-to-treat analyses were used to assess the effectiveness of the intervention overall and according to ER intervention attendance. Longitudinal multilevel mixed-effects analyses considering the interaction (time by intervention) were conducted. Each model was also adjusted by baseline value of the outcome measure, demographic and health variables, social support, PA self-efficacy, and barriers. Results: Minutes/week of objectively measured moderate to vigorous PA increased by 40 and 53 minutes in the ER and BC groups, respectively (p¼0.59).

  • Soil Cracks Related to Land Subsidence. the Main Geotechnical Hazard Affecting to Constructions in Aguascalientes City, México
    Soil Cracks related to land subsidence. The main geotechnical hazard affecting to constructions in Aguascalientes City, México. J. Pacheco-Martínez, M.E. Zermeño-De-León & J. A. Ortiz-Lozano CCDC de la UAA, Aguascalientes, México A. Solís-Pinto CGeA-Consultores en Geociencias Aplicadas S.C., Aguascalientes, México Miguel A. Romero-Navarro MARN-Servicios en Geotecnia, Aguascalientes, México Francisco Aguilar-Valdez CITIA-Ciencia de la Tierra Asesores, Aguascalientes, México Juan A. López-Fuentes GEO-Geofísica y Geotecnia Aplicada, Aguascalientes, México ABSTRACT We present a description of subsidence occurring in Aguascalientes Valley, covering the conceptual models of soil cracks generation, and the behaviour of the surface soil in the zone nearest to earth fissure path (width of influence). Furthermore, the observed pathologies in the damaged constructions by these earth discontinuities are evaluated. Additionally, we present a discussion about the geological and geophysical research implemented in the professional practice, in order to determine if an area is affected by an earth fissure, even when there is not visual damages on the constructions or deformation in the surface soil. PRESENTACIONES TÉCNICAS En este trabajo presentamos una descripción de la subsidencia del valle de Aguascalientes, abordando los modelos conceptuales del mecanismo de generación de los agrietamientos y el comportamiento del suelo en la zona de mayor deformación en los labios de las grietas (ancho de influencia), así como las patologías observadas en las construcciones afectadas por este tipo de discontinuidades del subsuelo. Se presenta además, una discusión sobre la investigación geológica y geofísica que se ha venido implementando en la práctica profesional para evaluar si un terreno es afectado por un agrietamiento, aún cuando este no se ha manifestado en la superficie.

  • Air Cargo Logistics Centers
    AIR CARGO LOGISTICS CENTERS Technical indicators for new projects in the Metropolitan Airports System of Mexico Antún, JP; Lozano, A; Alarcón, R; González, B; Pacheco, B y Rivero, D AIR CARGO LOGISTICS CENTERS: Technical Indicators for New Projects in the Metropolitan Airports System of Mexico Juan Pablo Antún, Instituto de Ingeniería, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México Angélica Lozano, Instituto de Ingeniería, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México Rodrigo Alarcón, Instituto de Ingeniería, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México INTRODUCTION This work presents some results of a research on logistics centers for air cargo in the Metropolitan Airports System of Mexico (MASM), which is composed of the international airports of Mexico City, Toluca, Puebla and Querétaro (Antún et al., 2009). This project was supported by the Program on Logistics Competitiveness (PROLOGYCA) of the Economy Ministry of the Federal Government. Mexico was the country with the larger movement of air cargo in Latin America in 2008. The International Airport of Mexico City (MEX) was el number two, according the amount of the air cargo movement, after the airport of Sao Paulo Guarulhos (GRU). In an international comparison, MEX had the rank 43 (now July 2009, it has the rank 49). The analysis of technical characteristics of Air Cargo Terminals within airports (first and second lines) and Logistics Centers for Air Cargo in third line out of the airports, were based on a benchmarking of logistics process operations of air cargo in leading airports in Asia: Hong Kong (HKG), Seoul (INC), Shangai (PDG), Tokyo Narita (NRT), Singapore (SIN), Taipei Taoyuan (TPE), Bangkok Suvarnabhumi (BKK) y Kuala Lumpur (KUL).

  • Novitates Published by the American Museum of Natural History City of New York December 14, 1950 Number 1477
    AMERICAN MUSEUM NOVITATES PUBLISHED BY THE AMERICAN MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY CITY OF NEW YORK DECEMBER 14, 1950 NUMBER 1477 THE BLISTER BEETLES OF NORTH CENTRAL MEXICO (COLEOPTERA, MELOIDAE) BY PATRICIA VAURIE' INTRODUCTION This is one of a series of papers on the insects collected on the Mexican plateau in the summer of 1947 on the David Rockefeller expedition to north central Mexico (see Spieth, Herman T., 1950, "The David Rockefeller Mexican Expedition of the American Museum of Natural History, Introductory account," Amer. Mus. Novitates, no. 1454). The family Meloidae was well represented in the region covered by the expedition (Chihuahua, Coahuila, Durango, and Zacate- cas), 45 species of 12 genera having been taken. There are 22 additional species reported by Champion in the "Biologia Cen- trali-Americana" (vol. 4, pt. 2) as occurring in this area. The collection amassed by the expedition has enlarged the northward or southward range of nearly every species since, aside from the four or five localities in which some of the early collectors worked, this north central area has been virtually untouched until recent years. Eighteen of the species collected are here recorded for the first time in the four above states: Zonitis megalops, piezata; Gnathium minimum; Epicauta andersoni, atrivtittata, callosa, fortis, hirsutipubescens, linearis, longicollis, normalis, polingi, sericans, tenella; Pleuropompha costata, tri- costata; Tetraonyx frontalis; Pyrota quadrinervata. The occur- rence of half of these species in the southwestern United States would presuppose their occurrence also south of the border. The others either had a more southern range or the present material ' Assistant, Department of Insects and Spiders.
