Objective. To examine compliance to isolation and quarantine recommendations during the early phase of the Covid-19 epidemic in Mexico. Materials and methods. Cross-sectional population-based study (National Health and Nutrition Survey 2020 Covid-19). We estimated the prevalence of compliance with recommendations and assessed its association with individual, household and context level variables using log-binomial models. Results. 48.1% of the population over 10 years old reported staying at home when faced with symptoms or a potential contact with a case. The prevalence was lower in employed vs unemployed population (PR 0.81; 95%IC 0.73-0.89), higher among higher socioeconomic position groups vs lower (RP 1.22; 95%IC 1.08-1.38), and lower among people living in states with an unspecific public health message regarding isolation and quarantine (RP 0.76; 95%IC 0.63-0.91). Conclusions. Compliance to isolation and quarantine recommendations was associated with socioeconomic factors and the quality of public health messages during the Covid-19 pandemic in Mexico.

The management of agricultural production systems alters the properties of the soil and affects its functionality. To measure changes and their intensity, tools sensitive to the function to be measured are required. The objectives of this work were: to know the agricultural history of the area, defining classes of land according to the peasants, identifying the current production systems and their management, as the basis for selecting appropriate soil quality indicators. Soil quality indicators provide objective quantitative information on the intensity of change due to land use, and its effect on the functionality of productive systems. We propose to incorporate the empirical knowledge of producers, collected through interviews, application of surveys and direct observation. This is an intermediate approach of a qualitative nature, as complement to the traditional technicalscientific used for this purpose. The case study was carried out in four Ejidos in Tepeaca, state of Puebla, (Mexico) with the collection of historical information about the incorporation of land to cultivation and irrigation. In workshops and surveys with the ejidatarios (the Ejido peasant producers), the following quality variables were defined: types of soils, changes of use in the last half century, past and present cultivation patterns, and management of current horticultural and floricultural production systems. The soils of the area have been managed since before the colony and, in the middle of the last century, only with the cultivation of "milpa". The production of vegetables and cut flowers has been intense in the last 50 years. The cultivation history of soils in these ejidos is a unique historical record in the country, depicting the influence of anthropic activity on their characteristics. Producers identify three classes of lands: Dark, Nextlales, and Strong-sands. The most frequent land use patterns are: 1) cut flowers, 2) vegetables on continue rotation, and 3) vegetables with land rest in the dry season. The integration of the knowledge of the farmers with the technicians, allowed to obtain an expanded vision of the impact of anthropic activities in the region. Documentation of changes in production systems, and soils will serve as the basis for formulating the appropriate soil quality indicators for those conditions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In 2001, the Mexican Secretariat of Tourism (SECTUR) approved the "Pueblos Magicos" program, as a strategy to diversify tourism within the country, looking to promote small towns interested in adopting and developing tourism as part of a promotion of local development. The towns interested in applying had to have heritage assets, be these historical, cultural or natural. After 17 years of operation of the Pueblos Mágicos program, this work analyzes their development and evolution on three scales: first, the way the program has spread geographically throughout the country. Following on from this, the State of Michoacán is analyzed, since it has 8 "Pueblos Magicos" (PM), where Pátzcuaro, one of these, is chosen as a representative case study, in order to identify whether the urban improvements seen in the municipality come from this being a "Pueblo Magico". The results show that the program has included 121 towns located in 31 states, focusing mainly on a central strip of the country, showing a mismatch between the original goals of the program and its current situation. Using the increased tourist activity in Patzcuaro, the authors identify that urban improvement actions and plans focus their work on the Historical Monuments Zone (HMZ), and around the lake. The attention given by the city and its efforts to maintain an urban image in the HMZ, along with a tourist approach, may result in a lack of attention paid to infrastructure deficiencies that have appeared and not been resolved in neighborhoods and districts within the municipality.

Climate change in beekeeping is perceived as a relational phenomenon, and it is necessary to adopt adaptation strategies to maintain economic activity. Festinger's theory of Cognitive Dissonance helps understand the constraints to the adoption of climate change adaptation strategies. For this purpose, a survey was applied to explore the relationship between the perception, attitude, and behavior of beekeepers in the face of climate change in Mexican territory. It was noted that: 1) Beekeepers identified climate change as the main problem for beekeeping; 2) They exhibit dissonance between their attitude and their behavior regarding adaptation strategies, and 3) Cognitive dissonance is reduced through justifications for their behavior. Thus, the present state of dissonance is a limitation for adopting climate change adaptation actions, evidencing the need to modify the behavior of beekeepers, through training to inform and explain the nature of climate change and its impacts; to place the beekeepers within this context, where they can contribute technical elements that may allow them to reorient their work, promoting an objective and constructive perception, which will generate a positive attitude in the face of the challenges that climate change represents, so that they may modify their behavior as much as necessary in order to keep the activity profitable in Mexico.

In Mexico, various studies emphasize that the importance of small-scale poultry farming in the rural setting falls on two of the roles assigned to poultry: 1) Contribution to food security and 2) Generation of economic income. Few studies identify and describe the complementary functions of poultry in small-scale production systems and how these species contribute to the welfare of the producing family. In this study, was identified and analyzed the roles assigned by the producing families to the poultry species in the 26 bird production units, out of 29, in the rural community of La Cuchilla, Hidalgo, Mexico. It was found that poultry could be assigned six different functions, not mutually exclusive: nutritional (26.9 %), environmental (24.4 %), cultural (17.9 %), economic (16.7 %), social (11.5 %), and recreational (2.6 %). Each one of these roles contributed to the family welfare in five different spheres: food security, availability of economic resources, strengthening of social relationships, link to the market, and transmission of vernacular knowledge. This study concludes that poultry can have multiple roles beyond their contribution to food security (nutritional role) and economic resources (economic role). These roles can be used as strategies by the producers to achieve family welfare in five different spheres. Comprehensively understanding the concept of role is essential to design development strategies based on the production aims and logic of the producing family. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The purpose of this study was to analyze water circulation in an estuary located in Boca del Río, Veracruz, Mexico. The diagnosis is based on the most representative flux records for the Jamapa River during the dry and rain seasons, that is, April and September, respectively. Tidal conditions, temperature, and water density were taken into account. For the diagnosis, a three-dimensional model (Delft3D) was applied. The seasonal circulation governing the estuary was evaluated using barotropic and baroclinic pressure levels. During the dry season, estuarine circulation was governed by the tides, and water circulation in the Mandinga lagoons was induced by baroclinic conditions. During the rainy season, the estuarine system was governed by discharge from the Jamapa River, and water circulation in the Mandinga lagoons is influenced by barotropic gradients.

This article looks at the consequences of violence and insecurity on democracy through an analysis of electoral participation in presidential elections in Mexico. The aim is to discover whether violence and insecurity influence whether citizens vote or abstain. Several hypotheses are put forward stating that both objective and subjective indicators of security affect intention to vote. In order to test them, a quantitative methodology and the 2019 Americas Barometer are used. After empirically testing the hypotheses, it is found that the objective indicator, occurrence of homicides in the neighbourhood, does influence the decision to vote or to abstain in future presidential elections. This shows that voting on security issues is sociotropic in nature. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Several Corynespora cassiicola isolates obtained from roselle (Hibiscus sabdariffa) and nine associated weeds to this crop were morphological and phylogenetically analyzed. The fungal isolates were divided into two groups: group one included 37 isolates obtained from H. sabdariffa and eight obtained from other host plants including Solanum lycopersicum, Chromolaena odorata, Senna alata, Eugenia oerstediana, Passiflora viridiflora, Momordica charantia, Ricinus communis and Gossypium hirsutum; in this case, the predominant colonies were gray, dense texture and polygonal in shape. Group two included two isolates obtained from H. sabdariffa and one from Hyptis suaveolens; in this group the colonies were mainly cream and pale brown, dense and round. Comparative analysis with isolates of C. cassiicola from other countries showed that group one isolates were mainly associated with those isolated from the Solanaceae family, while those from group two were related to those of the Cucurbitaceae family. To our knowledge, this is the first study on the morphological and genetic characterization of C. cassiicola in Mexico. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
