Marital infidelity is relatively frequent despite its consequences. The aim of the study was to develop a predictive model of sexual infidelity behavior among married persons through the analysis of seven variables related to the infidelity construct. A sample of 790 married persons (53.4 % women and 47.6 % men) was collected in Monterrey, Mexico, using random route sampling. The Relationship Assessment Scale, Sexual Satisfaction Index, Attitude toward Marital Exclusivity Scale, Unfaithful Behavior Scales, Sexual Sensation Seeking Scale, and Marital Aggrandizement Scale were applied. A model with 2 correlated exogenous variables (sexual sensation seeking and marital aggrandizement) and 5 endogenous variables (attitude towards infidelity, marital satisfaction, sexual satisfaction, desire for sexual infidelity, and sexual infidelity behavior) was specified. Six out of 100 participants were dissatisfied with their marriage and 13 with sexual relations with their partner; 20 saw more defects than virtues in their partners. In addition, 83 informed not engaging in sexual infidelity behaviors, 60 indicated total rejection towards own sexual infidelity; 72 showed no desire for sexual infidelity; and 51 reported not seeking sexual sensations. The model showed a large effect on the sexual infidelity behavior, explaining 70.8 % of its variance, and had a close fit: X2(7) = 11.93, P-value = 0.10, RMSEA = 0.03, and SRMR = 0.01. It is concluded that the most critical variable in the model is the desire for sexual infidelity, whose most important determinant was the sexual sensation seeking. The negative correlation between this last variable and marital aggrandizement indicates that these 2 variables can be modulated one to the other. Furthermore, the model highlights aspects of marital and sexual dissatisfaction.

of reproductive age. The diagnosis can be ma de by applying clinical criteria or by the eva-luation of bacterial morphotypes present in Gram stain performed to vaginal secretion or by microbiological procedures, which were deve loped as an alternative to clinical diagnosis, gradually replacing it. The objective of this work was to determine the effectiveness of the Amsel and Ison-Hay methods, used for the diagnosis of bacterial vaginosis using the Nugent method as a standard. In this study, 3 05 samples of vaginal discharge from pa tients of the ISSSTE Puebla Regional Hospital were analyzed. The samples were processed and analyzed for the diagnosis of BV following the recommendations of the Amsel, Nugent and Ison-Hay methods. The analysis of the results indicated 12.8 % by Nugent, 31.1 % of BV by the Amsel method and 36.7 % by Ison-Hay; suggesting that both techniques show a high rate of false positives. The sensitivity for the Amsel and Ison-Hay method was 97.44 %, the specificity was 78.57 % and 72.18 % for Amsel and Ison-Hay, respectively. In conclusion, given the results obtained and the minimal differences between the analyzed methods, it is recommended to perform the Amsel criteria, followed by the observation of Gram staining of the vaginal flow for the assessment of the microbiota by the Ison-Hay method, to have a better diagnosis of BV, when the Nugent method is not used.

Probiotics assist in the development of beneficial microorganisms in the rumen that increase digestibility of nutrients and improves the productive performance of ruminants; it also has the possibility of using ingredients as corn stover of relatively low nutritional value, but available in some places at low prices. Saccharomyces yeasts are conventionally used as probiotics and there are reports that use native strains such as Candida norvegensis. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of the probiotic of Candida norvegensis on the in situ ruminal dry matter degradability of corn stover and on the productive performance of growing lambs. In the first experiment, the yeast Candida norvegensis (strain Levazoot 15) [0 g (T1)] and 5 g (T2) was used to determine the in situ ruminal dry matter degradation (RDMD) of the corn stover in 3 cows with cannulas in the rumen, which was determined by the polyester bag technique. There was no effect of yeast (P > 0.05) on fraction (a), (b) and (a+b). However, the effective degradability at 1 %/h and 5 %/h of ruminal turnover was higher in T2 (P < 0.05). In the second experiment, 32 lambs were randomly assigned to individual pens for 105 d to evaluate 4 diets that differed in the proportion of concentrate: forage: T1 = 75: 25, T2 = 75:25; T3 = 50: 50, and T4 = 25: 75. With the exception of T1, the diets were supplemented with Candida norvegensis at 15 mL/kg of live weight, equivalent to 5 g/d of yeast in dry matter basis. The lambs in the diet with 75 % of concentrate plus the yeast (T2) showed greater weight gain and best feed conversion (P < 0.05). It is concluded that Candida norvegensis showed beneficial effects on ruminal degradability and on the growth of lambs.

Children develop mathematical skills in school and non-school settings from an early age. The objectives of this study were to analyze: the discourse during teaching-learning processes in which number sense was included and the role of ITC to develop this sense. The research method was a qualitative ethnography where the school discourse employed during the teaching of number sense was analyzed. Piaget and Vygotsky´s constructs were used as a theoretical framework since children undergo diverse and specific development stages according to their skills and intellect, and they similarly learn through social interaction. Three teaching principles were identified that favored logical mathematical thinking and number sense: the creation of all types of relationships, the quantification of objects, and social interaction with classmates and teachers. These principles lead to the development of a shared understanding of number sense and the use of mathematics, culturally situated in everyday settings.

The description of the behavior of a biphasic flow through porous beds by means of models based on the equations of transport phenomena is made difficult due to the geometric irregularity of the channels that are formed between the solid particles that make up the bed. Deterministic models developed for single-phase flows require the adjustment of empirical constants and cannot be extrapolated to biphasic flows, where the flow pattern generated in the system significantly influences the behavior of the total flow and the frictional pressure losses. Therefore, in this paper, we present a model to describe the behavior of the biphasic flow in relation to the flow pattern and the morphology, dimensions, and operating conditions of the porous bed, whose obtainment was based on a hierarchy that used the equations for conservation of momentum, fractal geometry and fractional differential calculus jointly. The model predicts that, for the same composition of the biphasic flow, the flow pattern significantly influences friction pressure losses, with an increase when one of the phases is dispersed within the other. On the other hand, the increase in the fractal dimension of the pores, in turn, causes an increase in pressure loss due to friction. The model has limitations associated with the considerations established during its collection, since it is only valid when the effects of surface tension are more significant than the gravitational effects, the effects of the latter being disregarded on the flow pattern, as well as for the stationary state.

In Mexico, several studies exist about what young people do on the web and how they interact in these environments; however, concerning southern Tamaulipas, there are no specific studies that address the characteristics of these practices. The objective of this work is to present a diagnosis of the uses and appro priations of digital platforms among young people in the southern region of Tamaulipas, Mexico, among high school and college students. The methodology is quantitative, based on a descriptive non-experimental design. A statistically representative sample from the municipalities of Tampico, Ciudad Madero, and Altamira, was designed with a 95 % accuracy and a margin of error of +/- 2 %. A questionnaire was developed and administered to a sample of 1 222 young students, in which the intensity of use and navigation profile of various digital platforms was evaluated. These platforms include general information pages, information or product exchange, digital social networks, educational and learning sites, as well as entertainment. The findings show that two fundamental elements mediate the processes of use and appropriation of digital platforms: a technical component, related to the interactivity resources provided by the platform itself, and a socio cultural component that relates to the life story, social and cultural capital, personality and expressive capacity, as well as the digital skills and intrinsic motivations of young people. In conclusion, this study allows us to problematize the phenomenon of the appropriation of digital platforms from the local level and to propose intervention routes that take advantage of the identified potential of digital skills, collaboration and content production.

Land Use Change (LUC) tends to have a negative effect on global atmospheric and climate processes. The objective of this paper was to assess the LUC for the San Fernando, Tamaulipas, Mexico municipality, during the period comprehended between 1987 and 2017. The classification by segmentation method was applied to satellite images obtained from 1987, 1997, 2007 and 2017, which allowed for a reduction in the noise that is characteristic of pixel-based classification. However, it was necessary to edit the results in order to recover human settlements, eliminate clouds and shadows, and reduce the confusion between vegetation cover and cultivated agricultural land in order to avoid introducing artificial LUC in the statistics produced. The multitemporal analysis showed a clear trend in the reduction of vegetation cover (- 6.53 %) and of areas devoid of vegetation (- 1.71 %). Likewise, the results also highlight a significant increase of agricultural land (+ 7.61 %), which seems to be unassociated with the increase of human settlements (+ 0.08 %). The developed methodology seems to be appropriate and of easy implementation to carry out the LUC analysis in other regions of interest.

Riparian vegetation constitutes a key element for the maintenance of fluvial ecosystems, especially for those that are surrounded by urban zones. The aim of this study was to evaluate the composition and variation of riparian vegetation in a stretch of the Santa Catarina river, over two cities of the Monterrey Metropolitan Area. For the analysis of the vegetation, sampling transects were established in a section of 15.65 km. The high stratum (shrub and tree plants) was analyzed using a Bray-Curtis ordering model and a dominance-diversity plot. The Jaccard similarity coefficient was used for the low stratum (herbaceous plants). In the high stratum, 16 families belonging to 25 genera and 28 species were recorded. The species with the highest number of individuals were Salix nigra , Leu caena leucocephala , Ricinus communis and Parkinsonia aculeata . The composition of the vegetation has a similarity level of intermediate to high, because the groups vary between 60 % to 71.53 %. In thelow stratum, 25 families, 53 genera and 60 species were recorded with a similarity level of low to intermediate, because the groups vary between 23 to 47 %. The species that were mostly registered in the low stratum were Cyperus involucratus in 7 sites, and Eragros tis mexicana , Heliantus annuus, Melinis repens , Polygonum pensylvanicum and Typha domingensis in six sites each one. The composition of the vegetation is in a secondary successional state, because the species with greater presence are exotic or invasive, such as Leucaena leucocephala and Ricinus communis for the high stratum and Cyperus involucratus, Typha domingensis and Melinis repens for the low stratum.

The composition of the vegetation is in a secondary successional state, because the species with greater presence are exotic or invasive, such as Leucaena leucocephala and Ricinus communis for the high stratum and Cyperus involucratus, Typha domingensis and Melinis repens for the low stratum.","PeriodicalId":42451,"journal":{"name":"CienciaUat","volume":"14 1","pages":"06-20"},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2020-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47642939","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The ionic gelation method as an encapsulation technique is based on the interactions between hydrocolloids, which prevent the possibility of damage of bioactive compounds present in foods, such as citrus juice. Therefore, the objective of the present study was to evaluate the stability of the orange juice capsules obtained by ionic gelation using pectin and sodium alginate as encapsulating agents. The effects of the gelling agents on the stability were determined by the measurement of weight loss, diameter, color attributes, diameter, macroscopic morphology, density in elaborate capsules. In addition, a factor analysis design was used by modifying the concentration of high methoxyl pectin (1.5 %, 2 % and 2.5 % w/v), pH (2.5, 3.5 and 4.5) and total soluble solids (TSS) at 5 oBrix and 15 oBrix, maintaining the concentration of sodium alginate constant at 0.5 % (w/v). The capsules were stored at room temperature (26 oC) and refrigeration (4 oC) for 12 d. They mainly presented a spherical shape (> 45 %). The color attributes remained stable even after 12 d of storage. The initial TSS and pH influenced the stability of the capsules. At a concentration of 15 oBrix and pH 2.5, the capsules could not be adequately formed, capsules presenting greater syneresis and amorphous morphologies. However, the orange juice capsules remained stable for more than 2 weeks and with stable quality parameters when stored at refrigeration temperature (4 oC), pectin concentration 2 % (w/v), sodium alginate 0.5 % (w/v), TTS 15 oBrix and pH 2.5. The ionic gelation method through encapsulation offers an alternative to extend the shelf life of the juice and the development of new products made from this citrus.

Traditional medicine is an alternative resource for the treatment of multiple symptoms associated with gastrointestinal diseases such as inflammation. Herbal infusions, unlike pharmacological medicines, contain multiple chemical compounds of diverse nature, which act synergistically to give an anti-inflammatory response. The Buddleja scordioides Kunth Scrophulariaceae plant is known for its anti-inflammatory effects and is commonly used to combat symptoms related to gastrointestinal disorders such as diarrhea, pain and inflammation. The easy acquisition and popular consumption of Buddleja scordioides , make this plant an important research objective for the area of intestinal health. The aim of this research was to gather information on the phytochemical components present in Buddleja scordioides , summarize information related to the absorption, digestion and transport of herbal compounds along the gastrointestinal tract and define its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effect. We found that Buddleja scordioides is a species used as a medicinal plant to treat symptoms associated with gastrointestinal inflammation process. The ethnopharmacology use of the B. scordioides plant is supported by scientific research that attributes its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity to the plant´s phytochemical content.
