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.

  • An Investigation of Urban Artists’ Mobilizing Power in Oaxaca and Mexico City
    THE UNOFFICIAL STORY AND THE PEOPLE WHO PAINT IT: AN INVESTIGATION OF URBAN ARTISTS’ MOBILIZING POWER IN OAXACA AND MEXICO CITY by KENDRA SIEBERT A THESIS Presented to the Department of Journalism and Communication and the Robert D. Clark Honors College in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Arts June 2019 An Abstract of the Thesis of Kendra Siebert for the degree of Bachelor of Arts in the Department of Journalism and Communication to be taken June 2019 Title: The Unofficial Story and the People Who Paint It: An Investigation of Urban Artists’ Mobilizing Power in Oaxaca and Mexico City Approved: _______________________________________ Peter Laufer Although parietal writing – the act of writing on walls – has existed for thousands of years, its contemporary archetype, urban art, emerged much more recently. An umbrella term for the many kinds of art that occupy public spaces, urban art can be accessed by whoever chooses to look at it, and has roots in the Mexican muralism movement that began in Mexico City and spread to other states like Oaxaca. After the end of the military phase of the Mexican Revolution in the 1920s, philosopher, writer and politician José Vasconcelos was appointed to the head of the Mexican Secretariat of Public Education. There, he found himself leading what he perceived to be a disconnected nation, and believed visual arts would be the means through which to unify it. In 1921, Vasconcelos proposed the implementation of a government-funded mural program with the intent of celebrating Mexico and the diverse identities that comprised it.

  • Improving Mexico City's Resilience to Current Water Issues and Climate
    Improving Mexico City’s resilience to current water issues and climate change October 14th, 2016 Sponsored by Deltares (www.deltares.nl) Most of the world’s biggest cities face similar water challenges. These challenges are the supply of fresh water of high quality for millions of people, the improvement and protection of surface and groundwater quality, the discharge and treatment of wastewater, and flood protection. Land subsidence, mostly due to the withdrawal of large volumes of groundwater for decades, often makes the situation more complicated: it increases the city's flood risk and may lead to the salinization of groundwater in delta cities. We need to make cities more resilient, with respect to both current issues and climate change. Improving the resilience of big cities is part of the work of Dutch research institute Deltares. They will do so for Mexico City, a city with 20 million residents. Together with Universidad Autónoma Metropolitana (UAM), Deltares will contribute to the resilience strategy of Xochimilco, a borough of Mexico City. A Unesco World Heritage site Xochimilco, one of the boroughs of Mexico City, is a Unesco World Heritage site due to the old canals and traditional Chinampas (artificial islands) dating from the time of the Aztecs. Today, however, Xochimilco has major problems with its water management. The original water system has totally changed and the traditional use of land has come under great pressure due to urbanisation and lack of sanitation. The latter results in poor water quality. The area is regularly flooded and often suffers water shortages. Many of the residents of Xochimilco therefore have no running water or other facilities.

Pani, 1913-1932 Óscar Flores Torres Introducción Alberto J. Pani nació en la ciudad de Aguascalientes el 12 de junio de 1878 y murió en la Ciudad de México el 25 de agosto de 1955. Obtuvo el título de ingeniero civil y fue profesor en la Escuela de Ingeniería. Incorporado desde el inicio al movimiento revolucionario de 1910 que derrocó al régimen de Porfirio Díaz, conoció y trató de manera cercana a casi todos los personajes de leyenda durante este proceso transformador. Su vida estuvo regida por constantes exilios (tanto voluntarios como forzosos) que alimentaron su espíritu tesonero, siempre en busca de mediar entre sus proyectos personales y una nueva clase de líderes políticos regidos por la ambición y una buena dosis de ignorancia.

  • Why Dominant Parties Lose: Mexico's Democratization in Comparative
    P1: KNP 9780521877190pre CUNY1171/Greene 978 0 521 87719 0 June 23, 2007 20:54 This page intentionally left blank ii P1: KNP 9780521877190pre CUNY1171/Greene 978 0 521 87719 0 June 23, 2007 20:54 Why Dominant Parties Lose Why have dominant parties persisted in power for decades in countries spread across the globe? Why did most eventually lose? Why Dominant Parties Lose develops a theory of single-party dominance, its durabil- ity, and its breakdown into fully competitive democracy. Greene shows that dominant parties turn public resources into patronage goods to bias electoral competition in their favor and virtually win elections before election day without resorting to electoral fraud or bone-crushing repression. Opposition parties fail not because of limited voter demand or institutional constraints but because their resource disadvantages force them to form as niche parties with appeals that are out of step with the average voter. When the political economy of dominance – a large state and a politically quiescent public bureaucracy – erodes, the partisan playing field becomes fairer and opposition parties can expand into catchall competitors that threaten the dominant party at the polls. Greene uses this argument to show why Mexico transformed from a dominant party authoritarian regime under PRI rule to a fully competitive democracy. He also shows that this argument can account for single-party dominance in other countries where the surrounding regime is authoritarian (Malaysia and Taiwan) and where it is demo- cratic (Japan and Italy). The findings have implications for Mexico’s political future, the formation of new political parties, transitions to democracy, and the study of competitive authoritarianism.
