In this article, an analysis is made on the Lagos del Campo vs. Peru Judgment and the way in which said judgment carries out a jurisprudential dialogue with the criteria established by the Supreme Court of Justice of the Nation. In the same way, a reflective pause is made around the conceptual boundaries of labor human rights, in order to identify whether in the case of freedom of expression it is a human right that develops in different areas of human relations, or if it is a purely labor human right, with essential elements that only in the work environment have life and develop, with the universality that a human right is characterized. With this perspective, the fundamental points of the sentence in Lagos del Campo vs. Peru are touched upon, when analyzing the human right to freedom of expression, freedom of association, and stability in employment.

The article also highlights the importance of civil society in the migration issue and mentions different forms of migration, as well as the need for humanitarian aid along migration routes. Despite the challenges, the work of Las Patronas has been recognized as important in defending the human rights of migrants. [Extracted from the article]

The Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) is analyzed which, according to the theory of economic integration, emphasizes the economic and trade benefits of the trade partnership between countries, particularly in gross domestic product and employment. From the comparative method, we contrast the RCEP with the T-MEC, the European Union and the TIPAT through the analysis of the main goods that the member countries of each trade agreement with each other, as well as with countries outside said agreements. We review the importance of each of the countries that make up the RCEP in terms of their products and trade partners. We hypothesize that the RCEP may become the main trade agreement in Asia-Pacific, thanks to China's economic-trade dynamism. We conclude that the RCEP will be, in the medium term, the new center of gravity of global trade. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, the assertion that laws support counterfactuals whereas regularities do not is revisited. This is done in order to show that the demarcation criterion between laws and regularities implied by it turns out to be ineffective because it is too weak, on one hand, and too strong, on the other, besides and ultimately it is circular.

Studies on violence linked to criminal organizations have focused mainly on the observation of structural factors, such as the conditions of illegal markets and the conflict between criminal groups and the Armed Forces. Most of these analyzes have used quantitative methodologies and aggregated data. While in the case of qualitative designs, it has mostly been limited to presenting empirical results. This essay, based on extensive experience in the field, aims to develop holistic analyzes based on three lines for the study of criminal violence in local contexts: levels, dimensions and mechanisms.

Companies need financing sources that allow them to be competitive and fulfill their duty in the economy as generators and distributors of wealth. Specifically, the microenterprises dedicated to the manufacturing industry in Mexico constitute a sub-sector of great importance for this purpose due to variables such as personnel employed, distribution of remunerations and distribution of economic units by size. In order to support these organizations, the business valuation discipline offers several methods for improving business decision-making, specifically, the Capital Asset Valuation Model is a tool for measuring the financial risk of an asset or company with respect to the market in which it operates; however, in order to effectively apply it to micro-companies in Mexico, it has been proposed to contextualize the data and create an own index. The calculations made allowed the determination of eight beta risk coefficients for micro-companies from a selection of representative sub-sectors corresponding to the manufacturing industry in Mexico; which are considered representative and useful for making financial decisions of companies comparable to those used in the sample analyzed.

In 2015, the Committee for the Protection of Journalists (CPJ) reported that Mexico ranked as the seventh deadliest country in the world for being a journalist. The CPJ's main indicator was the number of journalists murdered in the course of exercising their profession. Using the CIDE's Drug Policy Program data base, the author undertakes a descriptive analysis of journalists' deaths. He seeks to develop a taxonomy of the types of deaths of these professionals in Mexico and to identify the growth of homicide rates for journalists linked to the fields of crime and politics. Finally, he proposes an analytical model to research manners of death. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The accounts of the writers d.h. Lawrence, Graham Greene, Marc Chadourne and Antonin Artaud, show us the complexity of the landscape in Mexico City in the years 20's and 30's of the 20th century. The social reality portrayed by these authors contrasts with the utopian way of thinking about America that permeated among European intellectuals after the First World War. Located between the post-revolutionary devastation and the social growth during the Cardenas presidency, the countrys capital city is harshly criticized by these British and French authors.

Little research has been done on Schopenhauer's influence on twentieth-century philosophy of science. This article defends the thesis that Schopenhauer's epistemology historically promoted the idea that at least one of the objectives of epistemic research is the tenacious and creative exploration of heuristic potential of a theoretical system (Popper), a disciplinary matrix (Kuhn), and a scientific research program (Lakatos). I further state that his theory of science leads to ambiguity about the meaning of concepts such as objective discovery and epistemic innovation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The central purpose of this article is to review, based on Marx's critical perspective, one of the widely held beliefs in modern capitalist society: the idea that technological change is the cause of economic and social progress. It should be noted that, in the specific case of Marx, the analysis of the capitalist economy has its humanist perspective as a platform. Thereby, the dynamics of capital accumulation condition the technological change itself, the growth of the population and the economic and social inequality in which most individuals live on a global scale. For this reason, its liberation implies not only the possibility of improving its material conditions of life but, mainly, the possibility of establishing production relations that allow a full development of its creative and spiritual capacities. However, achieving this implies, in turn, definitively breaking with the dynamics of capital accumulation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article there presents results of an investigation in process that thinks that the configuration of a model of measurement of the performance in public centers of investigation will allow to identify organizational factors that will influence the generation of scientific capacities and regional development. The study tries to help with a model who contributes to establish indicators in organizations, which allow to characterize the competitive environment across the definition of capacities of innovation and competitive advantages of the region.

La creación del complejo hidrológico de Necaxa a finales del siglo XIX implicó una transformación del paisaje natural y social de la Sierra Norte de Puebla. A partir de este acto, las dinámicas productivas y los mecanismos de regulación social han estado mediados por la acción del Estado a través de la política energética, la organización de Luz y Fuerza del Centro (LYRC, nacionalizada en 1960) y la regulación laboral. Ahora, el cierre de la empresa implica una transformación de las dinámicas sociales que se construyen en el lugar en la medida en que existe una renegociación del orden social, pero también una disputa por definir el valor histórico y el uso de la infraestructura de la empresa y de los recursos hidrológicos de la localidad.

La preocupación de los economistas por la prosperidad de las naciones ha llevado al desarrollo de diversas teorías que tratan de explicar por qué algunos países son más competitivos que otros. Este trabajo pretende hacer una breve revisión de las diferentes teorías que han estudiado las fuentes de la ventaja competitiva de las naciones, así como, examinar la importancia de ésta para el logro de la prosperidad de las mismas y el papel que juega el Estado en el desarrollo de dicha ventaja.

The article has two main parts: In the first one, which deals with methodological (or meta-theoretical) issues within legal philosophy, the authors defend a so-called "methodological contextualism " approach according to which the projects of developing a descriptive concept of law, or a prescriptive or normative one, are both plausible and legitimate. Based on this approach, in the second part a preponderantly normative notion of law is articulated. This is done by including the "political obligation" and the observance of the principles of the Rule of Law as parts of the concept of law itself. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

El presente artículo sostiene la tesis de que las modificaciones a la Ley Federal del Trabajo impulsadas recientemente en México son resultado de un periodo de cambios en la política laboral junto con la promoción de una "nueva cultura", cuyos principios básicos descansan en la asunción de la "armonía" de intereses entre capital y trabajo, para lo cual se niega la conflictividad laboral y se apuesta por instituir un nuevo tipo de sindicalismo. El interés se centra en hacer una radiografía de dichos cambios sin dar por sentado que el debate ha concluido con la aprobación de la reforma laboral; por el contrario, es un momento oportuno para seguir la discusión alrededor de este importante tópico.

In this article the author introduces and discusses two contemporary conceptions about the nature of law: Andrei Marmor's conventionalist theory o flaw, and Scott Shapiro's shared plan model of the law. Both conceptual projects are based on the revision of H. L. A. Hart's notion of a rule of recognition which is central to his proposal of understanding law as the union of primary and secondary rules. The author's ultimate aim is to develop a plausible framework where these conceptions can be compared, and where their differences and convergence points may be assessed in order to eventually integrate the two positions.

In this paper I examine Quine's skeptical treatment of propositional (de dicto) and non-propositional (de re) necessity through his theory of three grades of modal involvement. I argue that, although it has various valuable features, it suffers from some serious limitations that make it unsatisfactory; specifically, (i) it cannot offer a suitable basis for a non-eliminativist account of propositional necessity, given the very marginal role he assigns to this notion in our theoretical and practical lives, and (ii) it cannot provide an explanation of a posteriori necessity. In view of this I try to motivate a modal non-cognitivist account (an anti-realist account that aims to provide an explanation of our modalizing based only on modest and mundane resources) as, potentially, the best response to Quine's skeptical treatment, this for two reasons: because it respects important Quinean concerns and desiderata and it can remediate the limitations that affect Quine's account of necessity.

En el actual contexto económico, social y político, el debate sobre la política energética del Gobierno Federal adquiere relevancia al ponerse a prueba la capacidad del Estado para asegurar la protección del consumo energético a los sectores sociales que viven en condiciones de precariedad. En este debate entran en tensión lógicas y posiciones divergentes, las cuales se enmarcan en el Programa Oportunidades Energético y en la iniciativa del Sindicato Mexicano de Electricistas sobre la tarifa social doméstica.

En los últimos tiempos se ha acentuado el clima de criminalización de la protesta social; es decir, que las acciones de resistencia contra el autoritarismo, la denuncia de violaciones de derechos humanos y las acciones de presión sobre las autoridades para que cumplan con sus obligaciones están teniendo, cada vez más, la consecuencia de que un defensor o defensora, o un integrante de una organización social, sean acusados de algún delito y llevados a la cárcel para enfrentar uno o varios procesos legales. Este documento se acerca a acontecimientos recientes en los que destacan Yucatán, San Luis Potosí, Chihuahua, Morelos, Chiapas y Quéretaro, que son una muestra de las acciones implementadas por el Estado frente a la movilización social.

This paper aims to analyze the incidence of subnational public spending on the economic growth of Mexican states. To achieve that purpose, five panel models are estimated: three ordinary least squares (OLS), one with fixed effects without temporal dummies and other with temporal dummies. Data employed are annual observations for the 32 federal entities for the period 2010-2018. Results evidence that temporal and spatial effects explain economic growth. i) a 10% increase in contributions generates a 2.4% increase in GDP, ii) if subnational debt is augmented by 10%, economic growth increases by 0.64%, iii) federal participations are not related to economic activity, and iv) finally, a 10% increase in private consumption generates a 5.3% increase in economic growth.

The article "Cracking open the doors: current perspectives on Latin American fantastic literature" analyzes the presence and relevance of fantastic literature in Latin America, highlighting the opposition between the rational and the irrational, the real and the imaginary, the tangible and the intangible as fundamental elements in the construction of the fantastic reality. It mentions outstanding works and authors who have contributed to the tradition of fantastic literature in the region, from the 19th century to the present, such as Mariana Enríquez, Cecilia Eudave, and Liliana Colanzi. Additionally, it emphasizes the political and cultural importance of the fantastic in Latin American literature, as it reflects hidden and unseen aspects of society and questions the notion of certainty. The article also highlights how fantastic literature in Latin America allows for a critical rethinking of the present and exploration of latent social and environmental issues, updating the discussion on social and environmental risks, the memory of dictatorship, and feminist struggle.
