Research on gender violence has been conducted since the sixties. The problem has been conceptualized and documented, although not necessarily looked after. Oaxaca stands out as one of the states where women are more likely to be attacked. This paper analyzes gender violence in Ayutla, a Mixe community of Oaxaca. Data were gathered through quantitative and qualitative methods. The main results are: psychological violence is the most common one; numerous cases of incest and ravishment occur; economic violence generally involves men totally abandoning women; local and State authorities exercise institutional violence by neglecting women s charges. The paper analyzes women's discursive strategies to re-signify their rights, and a successful case of rape within marriage which strengthened the struggle for such rights. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper is related to the anthropology of food and nutrition. The main idea is that the acts of eating or not eating express several meanings whose complexity demands a biomedical and cultural perspective. Overweight and obesity have become serious public health issues in Mexico, not only in urban areas, but in rural areas as well, where a concern with physical appearance is being detected among women. The present paper is a first approach to the subject of body perception in two different groups of women from Oaxaca: a mestizo group from the southern coastal area and an indigenous group from the "Sierra de Juárez". Their ages vary between fifteen and fifty years. It has been observed that women from the coast are more prone to overweight and obesity, hence, there is a greater concern with looking fat and they wish to be slim. There have been some cases of anorexia and bulimia detected. This is not the case with indigenous women from the Sierra. Based on the results of this study, the possibility of doing further research in this topic is discussed in order to include aspects related with body perception in future educational nutritional programs.

Background: the hand hygiene (HH) is the more effective and economical universal is known to prevent transmission of infectious diseases. Objective: understanding the impact of a program of continuous improvement in the process of HH in the health personnel. Methods: shadow, quantitative, prospective and longitudinal study from February 1 to September 30, 2009 at the Regional Hospital "Presidente Juarez" in Oaxaca of ISSSTE, the HH was assessed in 307 health workers, from a database that was evaluated through Rho correlation test of Spearman, with the aid of SPSS 11.5. Results: before training and provision of inputs, health personnel performed hand hygiene procedure in 189 cases (61.5%), while 79.8% did so after training and installation of toilets and hand sanitizer dispensers, liquid soap and paper towels, when an assessment was conduced two months later, 68.4% were conducted HH. At the end of the study were able to observe the program's impact in increasing the percentage of people who applied the HH: in the emergency service increased from 2 to 6%, in the surgery room from 71 to 84% in ICU from 94 to 97%, in pediatric ward from 95 to 99%, in the surgical floor from 4 to 78%, in internal medicine from 44 to 47%, in gynecology from 38 to 49%, in nursery from 89 to 92%, and outpatients from 20 to 29%. The Spearman's Rho test was significant at the three times evaluation. Conclusions: in this study, the pediatric service showed great attachment to comply with the HH, as well as ICU. This reveals that to the extent that there is more material equipment for this purpose, the greater the compliance of the measure which amounted in all services. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Current knowledge about savanna vegetation in Mexico is still incomplete, and it is dominated by an ongoing debate over their natural versus anthropogenic origin. In this paper we provide a detailed structural and floristic description of the savannas of the Nizanda region (Oaxaca, S Mexico). Vegetation was sampled in 20 sites of 15 m² each (totaling 300 m²). A total of 135 morphospecies were encountered, 86 of which could be determined to species level; they were distributed in 29 families and 68 genera. Leguminosae, poaceae and asteraceae were the families with the largest taxonomic richness. Total community cover was 200.7 m², of which 69% was accounted for by grasses and sedges. Despite a clear dominance of Trachypogon spicatus (berger-parker index = 0.82), this community had a relatively large diversity (log[sub 2] shannon = 3.64). Life form spectrum showed a dominance of chamaephytes and hemicryptophytes, indicating a harsh environment. Notwithstanding the widespread occurrence of secondary vegetation and ruderal species in the region, the virtual lack of exotic species in these savannas, together with the presence of some endemics and the identity of the dominant species, strongly support the primary nature of this plant community.
