Ante el despojo y la muerte. Las resistencias guardianas de vida (ReVisión Universitaria)
Este libro se analizan los discursos principales en los que se manifiesta la visión del campo de Bourdieu, tanto de quienes lo dominan y justifican las prácticas extractivistas, como de quienes resisten y denuncian el despojo reivindicando otra manera de vivir. Asimismo, se examinan las principales estrategias hegemónicas con respecto al cambio climático, el papel del conocimiento en la universidad neoliberal y las oposiciones académicas a dichos proyectos.

La impunidad activa en México. Cómo entender y enfrentar las violaciones masivas a los derechos humanos
México enfrenta una severa crisis en materia de derechos humanos, caracterizada por numerosos casos de ejecuciones extrajudiciales y por la práctica sistemática y generalizada de la desaparición forzada y la tortura, entre otros tipos de violaciones que ocurren en un marco de prácticamente absoluta impunidad. La ausencia de responsabilidad individual penal y del castigo correspondiente para los perpetradores establece y fortalece un contexto institucional en el que el delito y las violaciones a los derechos humanos se reproducen sin ningún tipo de contrapeso, incentivando su repetición sistemática. Mediante el análisis detallado de una serie de casos, este informe ofrece evidencia q...
Objeciones a Bergson, la universidad en México (Xipe totek 107)
En este número, continúa el análisis de Jorge Manzano sobre las objeciones que varios filósofos hacen a la crítica de Bergson sobre la idea de la nada. Asimismo, se incluyen las intervenciones en una mesa redonda de tres académicos de gran categoría: Francisco Xavier Garciadiego, que habla del contexto y proceso históricos que se dieron para la creación de El Colegio de México; José Sarukhán Kermez, que introduce a la estructura y los organismos constituidos para el funcionamiento de una institución de grandes proporciones, como la UNAM, y Antonio Lazcano, quien expone los principales modelos de universidad que se han ido gestando desde la Edad Media. Por su parte, Luis García Orso describe la experiencia de profundo desconcierto ante la violencia en nuestro país que Everardo González plasma en La libertad del diablo. Y para cerrar, se presenta un texto coordinado por David Velasco sobre las acciones poco conocidas de defensores de derechos humanos para el respeto de los derechos humanos en México.

Resistencias reflexivas (Xipe totek 111)
En la primera parte artículo se expone brevemente algunas de las ideas de Alfonso Ibáñez en torno a la importancia de las utopías en el panorama sociopolítico de América Latina. El artículo da cuenta de las conclusiones y hallazgos de la investigación sobre el campo de las y los defensores de los derechos humanos en México. Por un lado, se recoge una serie de constataciones sobre las principales luchas que se dan en el campo y, por otro, las líneas de prácticas que llevan al fortalecimiento del movimiento por los derechos humanos, como debates teóricos y prácticos y propuestas en torno a un conjunto de medidas de seguridad que rebasen la conflictividad interna y procuren estrategias de autocuidado y humanización de la lucha por hacer vigentes todos los derechos para todos y todas.

OECD Competition Assessment Reviews: Mexico 2019
This review analyses regulatory barriers to competition in the gas sector in Mexico, with the goal of helping Mexican authorities make regulation more pro-competitive while fostering long-lasting growth.
Academic Performance
Academic performance is an unavoidable topic for educational scientists, instructional experts, students, faculty staff, academic managers, parents, families, and policymakers. While student academic performance is a topic of passionate discussion, it is also interconnected with both faculty staff and higher education institutions. Achieving academic success requires more than just the efforts of the student. The teaching profession in higher education increasingly demands measurable results to attest to its efficiency. And the need for the accountability required from higher education institutions tends to influence institutional strategic plans according to tangible and measurable goals. This book will aim to cover the different perspectives of academic performance, placing on the stage the different actors in higher education: students, faculty, and institutions.
Flavonoids
Flavonoids are abundant secondary metabolites found in plants and fungi that have various roles in these organisms, including pigmentation, cell signalling, plant defence and inter-organism communication. Due to their abundance in nature, flavonoids are also important components of the human diet, and the last four decades have seen an intense study focused on the structure characterization of flavonoids and on their roles in mammal metabolism. This book reviews most of the well-established activities of flavonoids, and we also present more recent research studies on the area of flavonoids, including the chemical aspects of structure characterization of flavonoids, the biosynthesis of flavonoids in model plants as well as their role in abiotic stress situations and in agriculture, the role of flavonoids in metabolism and health and their importance in foods, from consumption to their use as bioactive components.
Pediatric CNS Tumors in Low- and Middle-Income Countries: Expanding our Understanding
Central nervous system (CNS) tumors represent about 20% of pediatric cancer cases worldwide and are the leading cause of cancer-related morbidity and mortality. In low- and middle-income countries, limited data suggests significant disparities in outcomes when compared to high-income countries. Nonetheless, this field is understudied and significant work needs to be done to further elucidate the epidemiology, clinical characteristics, and outcomes of this vulnerable population. In this Research Topic, we aim to describe recent advances in the biology, clinical, molecular, and health system characteristics of children and adolescents with CNS tumors. We welcome submissions of Original Researc...
The HLA System
This volume documents our growing understanding of the human major histocompatibility complex. The application of this information is ever more important as the limits of transplantation continue to be reduced, including the recent success of bone marrow transplantation between unrelated but closely matched individuals. In addition, the need to transfuse platelets in the face of immunologic barriers continues to challenge transfusion services. Thus, the serologic information summarized in this volume is essential for optimal patient care. At the same time, recombinant DNA technology has led to a revolution in our understanding of many aspects of basic biology. Among the advances has been the...
Assistive Technologies: Concepts, Methodologies, Tools, and Applications
Individuals with disabilities often have difficulty accomplishing tasks, living independently, and utilizing information technologies; simple aspects of daily life taken for granted by non-disabled individuals. Assistive Technologies: Concepts, Methodologies, Tools, and Applications presents a comprehensive collection of research, developments, and knowledge on technologies that enable disabled individuals to function effectively and accomplish otherwise impossible tasks. These volumes serve as a crucial reference source for experts in fields as diverse as healthcare, information science, education, engineering, and human-computer interaction, with applications bridging multiple disciplines.
