In an increasingly mobile world, the integration of immigrants and displaced individuals is an important factor in creating cohesive and inclusive societies. Integration has different dimensions; this scoping review examines the conceptualization and measurement of economic integration among immigrants and refugees in the United States. Quantitative peer-reviewed journal papers measuring or conceptualizing the economic integration of first-generation documented adult immigrants or refugees in the United States, as well as relevant conceptual or theory papers on this topic, were included in the review. The search strategy included an online search of the Web of Science Core Collection, PsycINFO, Applied Social Sciences Index and Abstracts (ASSIA), and EconLit. Additional search strategies included scanning the reference lists of studies identified as relevant in the initial database search. An analysis of 72 studies included in the review using a data extraction table reveals seven key domains of economic integration: income and economic security, employment and occupational categories, assets and use of financial services, neighborhood and housing, health, education, and use of public assistance. Income and economic security emerged as the most common indicators of integration in the reviewed studies. Notably, less than half of the reviewed publications had a multidimensional approach to defining or measuring economic integration, and the majority of studies were focused on immigrants, with a smaller proportion dedicated to refugees. This review emphasizes the need for comprehensive frameworks in assessing economic integration among immigrants and refugees, reflecting the multifaceted nature of their economic integration experiences.

Tequila production occurs in Mexico's designated area of origin, principally in the Jalisco State. Its residues are a challenge in treatment and tracking due to a lack of technology, non-economic treatments available, low environmental consciousness and incipient control from authorities. In 2021, average production was close to 1.5 million tequila litres per day with an estimated residue yield of 10–12 litres of stillage (tequila vinasses) per tequila litre produced, including volatile fractions. This research aims to reduce organic matter by electrooxidation (EO) from 5 distillation volatile residual effluents (two-stage still distillation) from three tequila distilleries, first and second-stage heads and heads and tails and second-stage non-evaporated fraction. Round 3 mm titanium (grade-1) electrodes (one anode and one cathode) were used, with fixed voltage to a value of 30 VDC at 0, 3, 6, 9 and 12 h with 75 experiments. Gas chromatography was used to analyse methanol, ethanol, acetaldehyde, ethyl acetate, n-propanol, sec-butanol, iso-butanol, n-butanol, iso-amyl, n-amyl, and ethyl lactate content. Treatment shows positive results, reducing organic matter content in all effluents in a Chemical Oxygen Demand COD range of 580–1880 mg/L.h, particularly useful in the second-stage non-evaporated fraction for water recovery. Residual effluent treatment is beneficial to environmental and resource sustainability. Process without adding materials achieving cleaner treated effluents. Process aimed as the final step to recover water. This process could help the Tequila industry to reach a higher sustainability level by reducing water usage and untreated residues.

En Ecuador los índices de obesidad infantil se han visto en aumento con respecto a 20 años atrás; sin embargo, su abordaje ha sido escaso. A razón de ello, y desde la mirada del marketing social, se presenta este documento, fruto de un trabajo de investigación que combinó el enfoque metodológico cualitativo y el cuantitativo. La investigación se planteó con el fin de: 1) comprender la percepción y relación de distintas herramientas de marketing para abordar el problema de la obesidad infantil; 2) identificar las principales características de los hogares con obesidad infantil y 3) recabar elementos útiles para el diseño de una futura propuesta de campaña de marketing social orientada a reducir la incidencia de la obesidad infantil. La investigación constó de tres fases, en las que se combinó la aplicación de entrevistas a médicos pediatras, nutricionistas, especialistas en marketing y padres, con la aplicación de encuestas a padres. En función de la información relevada, y basándose en la literatura consultada, se construyó un mapa conceptual que incluye las variables a considerar en el diseño de una campaña de marketing social destinada a reducir la incidencia de la obesidad infantil.

Community and Home Care - Abstract
Las estrategias actuales de tratamiento de efluentes porcinos en México son en muchos casos poco eficientes, que se traduce en la descarga de aguas tratadas parcialmente y no tratadas, así como el desaprovechamiento de un recurso energético. El objetivo de este estudio fue evaluar el impacto de la separación sólida-líquida del agua residual porcina sobre la producción de metano, utilizando lodo granular (LG) y lodo disperso (LD), bajo tres concentraciones. La concentración de DQO en el efluente crudo (EC) fue de 13,640 mg/L, con 69 % correspondiente a la fracción sólida (FS) y el resto para la fracción líquida (FL). Los resultados indican que los cultivos con la FS produjeron una mayor cantidad de metano, incrementándose 1.47, 1.31 y 1.22 veces en comparación al EC, para las concentraciones de 3, 6 y 9 g SSV/L de LD. La estrategia de separación sólida-líquida resultó en incrementos en la producción de metano, evidenciado porque la suma del metano acumulado por la FS y FL fue entre 2.14 y 2.28 veces mayor que la cantidad obtenida por el EC. La aplicación de procesos anaerobios para tratar residuos sólidos y líquidos permitirá recuperar de manera más eficiente la energía a partir de la transformación de la materia orgánica a metano.

11. Language, Learning, and Identity in Social Networking Sites for Language Learning: The Case of Busuu

Alvarez Valencia, Jose Aldemar
- Abstract
Recent progress in the discipline of computer applications such as the advent of web-based communication, afforded by the Web 2.0, has paved the way for novel applications in language learning, namely, social networking. Social networking has challenged the area of Computer Mediated Communication (CMC) to expand its research palette in order to account for the way individuals engage in processes of learning and socialization, the way they interact, and the way they construct and perform their identities. With this in mind, it is necessary to examine the new material conditions, social arrangements, and the communicational landscape of Social Networking Sites (SNS). This study focuses on SNSs for language learning (SNSLL) and examines the particular case of Busuu. Drawing on theoretical tenets of sociocultural and ecological approaches combined with multimodal social semiotics, this research aims to analyze the views of language and learning that are enacted through the semiotic design of Busuu. It also purports to examine the types of identities wherein users are positioned through the compositional elements of this participatory online environment. The research design is informed by the principles of a qualitative case study and autoethnographic research. The data collected for this study consist of documentary information obtained from Busuu and the autoethnographic accounts of the researcher, who participated as a member of the Busuu community for 10 weeks. Results indicate that overall Busuu is an ecological system composed of sub-systems of nested views about language, learning, and users in which multiple timescales, spatiotemporal, and discursive resonances of various theories work in synergy. Thus, the semiotic spaces of Busuu combine structural, interactional and ecological views of language. Similarly, Busuu crystalizes views of learning that echo behaviorist, cognitivist, and constructivist theories. The website enacts different identities, positioning users as learners and teachers/tutors who are members of an imagined community. The study draws implications about the need for theoretical coherence and pedagogical alignment among the different components of the language curriculum (e.g. language and learning views, instructional activities) of Social Networking Sites for Language Learning.

This paper describes the structural performance of an innovative wood plastic composite (WPC) sheet piling. Tensile coupon tests were performed to determine tensile strength and modulus over a range of strain rates for both WPC and specimens cut from commercially available vinyl sheet piles. Full scale four-point bending tests were conducted up to failure on 20 sets of joined pairs of WPC Z-piles with four different span lengths. For comparison, bending and coupon-level tension tests were also conducted on commercially available vinyl Z-piles and coupons cut from them. The coupon-level tests indicated that WPC had on average a 14% greater modulus than the vinyl specimens in the initial linear range, defined as between 10 and 40% of the respective material's ultimate tensile strength. However, if the modulus is computed over the same stress range of 10-40% of the WPC ultimate tensile strength, both materials have a similar modulus. The vinyl had a tensile strength 3.6 times that of the WPC. During the bending tests, the hollow cross section WPC Z-piles failed primarily in bending-induced tension, while the solid vinyl Z-piles exhibited buckling of the compression flange. Creep rupture testing was conducted for pair of WPC Z-piles in a four-point bending setup to determine long-term load- carrying capacity. No loss of load-carrying capacity was observed during the 90-day test and creep rates generally decreased during the test. However, creep deflections were larger than what would normally be exhibited by wood structural members. While additional studies are needed to address the effects of water absorption on WPC properties, the findings show promise for wood plastic composite light duty sheet piling retaining wall structures.

La Responsabilidad Social Empresarial RSE por sus siglas en español, se ha convertido en un tema de abordaje obligatorio para el sector empresarial, incluso aquellas entidades u organizaciones económicas que no estén cumpliendo con las disposiciones nacionales e internacionales, tienden a desaparecer pues se someten de alguna forma a un tipo de sanción social, ya que en la actualidad los diferentes grupos de interés están más informados sobre ello, puesto que hoy en día millones de clientes prefieren efectuar sus compras en entidades donde priorizan la RSE. Dicho aspecto es un factor clave de competitividad actual, pues conlleva dentro de las organizaciones a tomar acciones en pro del bienestar de grupos humanos y en general de todas las variables medioambientales. La RSE incorpora un desarrollo sostenible en los diferentes modelos comerciales de las empresas, por ende, tiene un impacto positivo en ambientes sociales, ambientales y económicos. A través de la alta gerencia potencializa la imagen corporativa, la marca se posiciona en el sector económico y motiva a los dueños y administradores a continuar con la excelente tarea. Asimismo, los consumidores, empleados y demás stakeholders, están iniciando a priorizar la RSE cuando eligen una marca o empresa para satisfacer sus necesidades. Los buenos programas de RSE son oportunidades para demostrar una ciudadanía corporativa vanguardista, protegiendo a las entidades de riesgos innecesarios en toda la esfera social y ambiental.

It is a key factor of current competitiveness, which entails taking actions for the welfare of human settlements and in general of all environmental variables. Today millions of customers prefer to make their purchases in entities where they prioritize CSR Corporate Social Responsibility. This practice incorporates sustainable development in the different business models of companies, therefore, it has a positive impact on social, environmental and economic environments. Through senior management, it enhances the corporate image, the brand is positioned in the economic sector and motivates the owners and administrators to continue with the excellent task. Likewise, consumers, employees and other stakeholders are starting to prioritize CSR when choosing a brand or company to meet their needs. Good CSR programs are opportunities to demonstrate avant-garde corporate citizenship, protecting entities from unnecessary risks throughout the social and environmental sphere. Pregrado

A granular activated carbon‐sequencing batch reactor (GAC‐SBR) was used to assess the removal of organochlorine endosulfan pesticide. The reactor operated in three stages: (I) starter and stabilization; (II) addition of 4 mg/L of endosulfan in feed; and (III) a single addition of 1 g/L of GAC to mixed liquor. During the 249 days of operation, the removal efficiency of COD was 96 ± 2%; for NH4+‐N 72 ± 1%; and for PO4−3‐P 48 ± 13%. Was eliminated the 79% of endosulfan in stage II and 99% in stage III, not found its metabolite (endosulfan sulphate) in the reactor effluent. A consortium of eight bacterial strains was identified in the reactor stages, assessing five of them in the presence of 4 mg endosulfan/L by growth kinetics. According to the results, the joint action of the consortium and GAC addition is the responsible of eliminating the pesticide. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper describes the structural performance of an innovative wood plastic composite (WPC) sheet piling. Tensile coupon tests were performed to determine tensile strength and modulus over a range of strain rates for both WPC and specimens cut from commercially available vinyl sheet piles. Full scale four-point bending tests were conducted up to failure on 20 sets of joined pairs of WPC Z-piles with four different span lengths. For comparison, bending and coupon-level tension tests were also conducted on commercially available vinyl Z-piles and coupons cut from them. The coupon-level tests indicated that WPC had on average a 14% greater modulus than the vinyl specimens in the initial linear range, defined as between 10 and 40% of the respective material’s ultimate tensile strength. However, if the modulus is computed over the same stress range of 10–40% of the WPC ultimate tensile strength, both materials have a similar modulus. The vinyl had a tensile strength 3.6 times that of the WPC. During the bend...

Sin embargo, es necesario desarrollar estrategias apropiadas para lograr la inmovilización de MR a fin de erradicar el requisito de adicionarlos de manera continua en sistemas anaerobios de tratamientos de aguas residuales. En esta tesis se identifican y caracterizan SH extraídas de suelos y compostas de distintos sitios de México, a fin de seleccionar aquellas con apropiada capacidad de transferencia de electrones (CTE). Se utilizan partículas de óxidos metálicos (OM), a escala nanométrica y micrométrica, para inmovilizar las distintas SH seleccionadas a partir del proceso de caracterización. También se evalúa el impacto catalítico de las SH inmovilizadas durante la biotransformación de distintos CE, actuando como MR. Por último, se muestran los efectos toxicológicos de nanopartículas (NP) de óxidos metálicos cubiertas con SH sobre un consorcio anaerobio, considerando procesos relevantes como la metanogénesis y la reducción del humus; esto permitirá establecer las bases para la co-inmovilización de MR y microorganismos reductores del humus por medio del proceso de granulación. Los resultados mostrados en el capítulo 3 indican que existen fuentes apropiadas de SH para ser utilizadas como MR en sistemas de tratamiento de aguas residuales, de acuerdo a los valores de CTE observados en las muestras, lo cual depende de su origen. De igual forma se demostró que existen grupos funcionales presentes en las SH, distintos a los grupos quinona, que son capaces de participar en la transferencia microbiológica de electrones utilizando Geobacter sulfurreducens, lo que sólo había sido demostrado anteriormente por métodos químicos. A partir de este estudio de caracterización se seleccionaron dos muestras de SH que se utilizaron para ser inmovilizadas sobre partículas de OM a escala micrométrica (capítulo 4) y nanométrica (capítulo 6). En el capítulo 4 se estudia el impacto de SH, previamente inmovilizadas en micropartículas de alúmina, durante la deshalogenación reductiva de tetracloruro de carbono por un consorcio anaerobio." "During the last two decades, evidence has been accumulated indicating that humic substances (HS) and quinoid analogues can act as redox mediators (RM), accelerating the reduction rates of different electron accepting contaminants (EAC) such as azo dyes, nitroaromatics compounds, halogenated solvents, and metalloids. Nevertheless, it is necessary to develop suitable strategies to immobilize RM in order to eliminate the prerequisite of their continuous addition in anaerobic wastewater treatments systems. In this dissertation HS extracted from soils and composts from different parts of Mexico were identified and characterized, in order to select those effective sources, considering their electron transferring capacity (ETC). Metal-oxides (MO) particles at nano- and micrometric scale were used to immobilize those HS selected from the study of characterization. Once immobilized, the catalytic effect of HS was tested during the anaerobic biotransformation of EAC, acting as solid-phase RM. Finally, relevant processes such as methanogenesis and humus reduction were considered in order to evaluate the toxicological effects of MO nanoparticles (NP), covered with HS, on an anaerobic consortium. This study provides with essential information required for the co-immobilization of RM and humus reducing microorganisms through the granulation process. The results presented in chapter 3 indicate that suitable sources of RM can be found in natural environments to be used in wastewater treatment systems. ETC values depended of the origin of the HS sample, which ranging between 112−392 μmol g-1 by chemical method. In addition, it was demonstrated that non-quinone functional groups accounted for an important fraction of ETC of different HS samples and that the humus-reducing microorganism Geobacter sulfurreducens, is able to reduce both quinone and non-quinone redox functional groups in HS. From this characterization study, two HS samples were selected to be immobilized on MO particles at micrometric (chapter 4) and nanometric scale (chapter 6). In chapter 4, the impact of immobilized HS on alumina microparticles during the reductive dehalogenation of carbon tetrachloride by anaerobic sludge was studied. Immobilized HS preserved their catalytic properties, which was evidenced by an increase up to 10.4-fold in the rate of reduction of carbon tetrachloride compared to the control lacking HS, achieving a dehalogenation efficiency >90%."

- Abstract
Background: Cryptosporidium oocysts and Giardia cysts can be transmitted by the fecal–oral route and may cause gastrointestinal parasitic zoonoses. These zoonoses are common in rural zones due to the parasites being harbored in fecally contaminated soil. This study assessed the risk of illness (giardiasis and cryptosporidiosis) from inhaling and/or ingesting soil and/or airborne dust in Potam, Mexico. Methods: To assess the risk of infection, Quantitative Microbial Risk Assessment (QMRA) was employed, with the following steps: (1) hazard identification, (2) hazard exposure, (3) dose–response, and (4) risk characterization. Results: Cryptosporidium oocysts and Giardia cysts were observed in 52% and 57%, respectively, of total soil samples (n = 21), and in 60% and 80%, respectively, of air samples (n = 12). The calculated annual risks were higher than 9.9 101 for both parasites in both types of sample. Conclusions: Soil and air inhalation and/or ingestion are important vehicles for these parasites. To our knowledge, the results obtained in the present study represent the first QMRAs for cryptosporidiosis and giardiasis due to soil and air inhalation/ingestion in Mexico. In addition, this is the first evidence of the microbial air quality around these parasites in rural zones
