Counterinsurgency and Violence Against Indigenous Peoples in Chiapas (1994–1995): The Chiapas 94 Campaign Plan and the Open Investigation into the So-Called Earth-Mars Plan

This essay examines the counterinsurgency strategy deployed by the Mexican State in Chiapas between 1994 and 1995, focusing on the documented "Chiapas 94 Campaign Plan" and the unresolved question of the so-called "Earth-Mars Plan." Drawing on Inter-American Court of Human Rights...

Effects of Progressive Replacement of Corn Stover with Condensed Tannin-Containing Woody Biomass on Growth Performance and Reproductive Development of Prospective Breeding Ram Lambs

This study determined the level at which corn stover (CS) could be progressively replaced with condensed tannin-containing woody biomass (CTWB) from Quercus rugosa without compromising dietary acceptance, growth, energy utilization, or reproductive development in prospective bree...

Socialism, communism and conceptual framework

This article examines socialism and communism as a heterogeneous family of normative theories, economic diagnoses, and institutional projects. It distinguishes among utopian socialism, classical Marxism, socialist anarchism, Marxism-Leninism, social democracy, democratic socialis...

Assessing the Effect of Training Record Length on Daily Pan Evaporation Estimation Using MLR, MLP, LSTM, and XGBoost Models in a Semi-Arid Region of Mexico

This study assessed the effect of training record length on daily pan evaporation estimation using Multiple Linear Regression (MLR), Multilayer Perceptron (MLP), Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM), and Extreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost) models in a semi-arid region of Mexico. Two his...

Socioeconomic and Technological Typification of Beekeepers in North-Central Mexico: Management Practices, Constraints, and Opportunities for Sustainable Development

The objective of this study was to typify and characterize the socioeconomic and technological profiles of beekeepers in north-central Mexico to identify major constraints and opportunities for the development of beekeeping production. A total of 375 beekeepers from seven states...

Learning to Route On-Chip: A Survey of Machine Learning-Based Routing in Networks-on-Chip and Its Hardware Overheads

Network-on-Chip (NoC) fabrics are the dominant interconnect for many-core processors, yet widely used routing methods—dimension-order routing and turn-model-based adaptive variants—assume mostly local, low-variance congestion. Modern workloads generate dense and bursty traffic th...

From Stochastic Foundations to Emerging Frontiers: A Comprehensive Survey on Packet Jitter Modeling, Measurement, and Metrics in IP Networks

Packet delay variation (jitter) affects the reliability and perceived quality of real-time IP services, but its models and metrics remain fragmented across layers and technologies. This structured survey synthesizes research published from 1990 through August 2026 in three method...

Validity and Reliability of the Sociocultural Attitudes Towards Appearance Questionnaire in Adult Mexican Women

ABSTRACT Objective This study aimed to validate the Sociocultural Attitudes Towards Appearance Questionnaire‐4 (SATAQ‐4) in Mexican women, evaluating its factor structure, internal consistency, temporal stability, convergent validity, and measurement invariance in women with and...

Functional Feed Additives in Intensive Sheep Production: From Mechanism to Practical Application

In ruminant nutrition, functional feed additives are defined as non-nutritive or bioactive substances added to diets to intentionally alter rumen microbial populations, enhance nutrient digestibility, or modulate metabolic pathways beyond standard baseline nutrition. This review...

Effects of Cention N® restorations on buccal cytogenotoxicity and salivary oxidative stress in children with dental caries

Cention N ® is an alkasite-based restorative dental material containing methacrylate monomers and ion‑releasing alkaline fillers that liberate calcium and fluoride, components that have been implicated in oxidative stress (OS) and potential DNA damage in oral epithelial tissues....

Extractive hydrosocial territorialization in Zacatecas, Mexico

This article analyses the water crisis in the central region of Zacatecas, Mexico, by adopting a hydrosocial territorial approach that brings into dialogue the notions of water grabbing as enclosure and hydroextractivism as ongoing rent extraction. We argue that the crisis is not...

Field-Calibrated Degradation Kinetics of Steel Fiber-Reinforced Shotcrete in Humid Underground Silver Mines

Typical specifications for steel fiber-reinforced shotcrete primarily focus on early-age mechanical properties and do not provide much guidance on evaluating changes in capacity over time, particularly under humid underground service conditions. In addition, accelerated laborator...

Functional Architecture and Exploratory Operational Assessment of a Mobile Hydraulic Clay-Brick Molding Machine for Small-Scale Manufacturing

Small-scale clay-brick yards require molding equipment that increases output while remaining mobile, locally serviceable, and compatible with intermittent material supply. This article documents the functional architecture and exploratory operational performance of the mobile 12-...

The “migration industry” through the lens of the political economy of international migration in contemporary capitalism

Contemporary international migration is characterised by new infrastructures, institutions, agents and companies, with large multinational corporations playing a particularly prominent role. In partnership with leading imperialist powers, these corporations fulfil a strategic rol...

Nitrogen deprivation differentially alters lipid accumulation and pyrolysis-derived volatile profiles in three microalgal species

Nitrogen deprivation (N−) is widely used to induce lipid accumulation in microalgae. However, its impact on the relationship between lipid accumulation and thermochemical behavior remains poorly understood. In this study, a comparative experimental approach was used to evaluate t...

Evaluation of Cr(III) Adsorption Using Activated Jatropha curcas Shell: Kinetics and Energy Recovery

Abstract This study investigates the potential of conditioned Jatropha curcas shell residues as sustainable and cost-effective bioadsorbents for the removal of Cr(III) from aqueous solutions. Adsorption performance was evaluated under varying conditions of pH (3.05 and 3.89), tem...
