La deserción escolar ha sido identificada como prioritaria durante años en la América Latina debido a sus consecuencias sociales e individuales. Las investigaciones en este campo señalan la enseñanza media superior como uno de los niveles de mayor incidencia. Por otra parte, existen diversos marcos explicativos donde confluyen elementos estructurales y relativos a la agencia social; en ellos resulta, en ocasiones, difícil entender como interactúan las causas y que peso relativo se le otorga a cada uno de los factores explicativos. El estudio que se presenta en este volumen focaliza su atención dos países que han experimentado un descenso de sus tasas de abandono escolar durante los últimos veinte años. Ello presenta un escenario favorecedor para indagar desde una perspectiva comparada en los elementos que explican ese resultado. El periodo de investigación comienza en el año 2000 y culmina en 2019. Se utilizó como marco teórico el enfoque morfogenético de la Teoría Social Realista. Se usó una estrategia metodológica basada en el Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA), implementado a partir de conjuntos difusos. Los resultados indican que las tasas de abandono son explicadas por la combinación de diseños institucionales que toman en cuenta de manera integral la multicausalidad del fenómeno y por una alta reflexividad en torno al mismo de parte de los agentes sociales implicados en la implementación de dichos diseños. El estudio discute el significado de este hallazgo y la pertinencia tanto de la teoría y la metodología utilizada en la búsqueda de nuevas zonas de sentido en la explicación de la deserción escolar.

The Book delves in depth connection between humor styles and resilience in university students, distinguishing between those in hostels and off-campus housing. Humor and resilience are vital for mental well-being, and understanding how they interact can offer insights into students' psychological health. Using a correlational approach, the research explores how various humor styles relate to resilience levels in a diverse student population aged 18 to 25. Participants completed self-report measures, including the Humor Style Questionnaire (HSQ) and the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC), providing quantitative data on humor preferences and resilience. The HSQ identifies four humor styles: affiliative, self-enhancing, aggressive, and self-defeating, while the CD-RISC measures the ability to rebound from adversity and adapt positively to challenges. These findings can inform interventions by educators and counselors to promote a positive psychological climate among students. Moreover, the study contributes to understanding the psychological well-being of students in different living arrangements. The correlational analysis offers insights into the complex relationship between humor styles and resilience, potentially guiding targeted interventions to support students' mental health in higher education settings.

Este proyecto se centra en proponer intervenciones arquitectónicas y urbanísticas para contrarrestar la pérdida cultural en San Juan del Río, Querétaro. Una de las propuestas principales es la creación de un centro cultural que fomente la conciencia ecológica entre la población local, enfrentando desafíos como la desintegración social y la falta de seguridad e interés cultural. Siguiendo los lineamientos del Reglamento de Edificación de la Ciudad de México y los reglamentos municipales pertinentes, se plantea la construcción de dos estructuras elípticas de tres niveles en un terreno irregular de 15,388 m2. Esta propiedad se encuentra en una zona de transición, cercana al centro histórico y la principal zona residencial de la ciudad, según la zonificación geotécnica. El objetivo principal es revitalizar la identidad de los habitantes y promover la conciencia ambiental y la sustentabilidad. La falta de esta conciencia se refleja en la degradación de los espacios ecológicos disponibles y en las actividades perjudiciales de jóvenes y adultos, que dan un mal ejemplo a las generaciones más jóvenes. Abordar este problema requiere un cambio desde el núcleo cultural hacia el núcleo social para hacer frente al calentamiento global y sus consecuencias.

Assessing the plausibility of the takeover's market efficiency theory, this paper advocates that the current regulatory framework of UK hostile takeovers confers an unfair advantage upon acquirers often at the detriment of the long-term performance of target companies. Driven by the "sacred" concept of shareholder value, the current legal framework has been structurally drafted upon false economic narratives which favor hands-off ownership, short-term myopic decision-making, and militate against investors engaging in the long-term strategy of the British plc. Thereby, sanctioning a financialized form of governance which undermines the importance of corporate stewardship by permitting acquirers to not only impinge upon the interests of target companies but to damage the wider industrial economy in the long-run. Illuminating a wide spanning regulatory vacuum, a fundamental re-investigation of the UK takeover regime is long overdue.

Meat is a rich source of lightly-digestible proteins, fats, and minerals. The meat contains all the necessary nutrients in an appropriate ratio for maximum utilization by the human organism, and as a result, the meat is characterized by high digestibility of 96% and utilization of 98%, thus bringing meat into a high biological food product and nutritional value. The meat as a food game is characterized by its specific sensory characteristics, which are produced during ripening, fattening and heat treatment. On the basis of the performed tests for chemical changes in fat after the heat treatment of pork and white chicken meat, the heat of cooking for pork meat was found to be 32%, fried in sunflower oil up to 43.80% fried in a mixture of pig fat and sunflower oil, white white chicken meat is 31.8% fried in palm fat and sunflower oil up to 44.0% fried in pig fat. After the heat treatment of meat in different types and combinations of fats, there are changes in their fatty acid composition, resulting in the formation of new fatty acids under the influence of temperature, the extraction of fat from the meat and the interaction of fatty acids from fat, meat and high temperature in the heat processing. The obtained results from the tests carried out for chemical changes in fats after the heat treatment of the meat will contribute greatly to the changes in the fatty acid composition of the fat before and after the thermal treatment of the meat, as well as the changes in the mass of the meat after the thermal treatment.

El primer contacto con el mundo exterior, nos da tan solo la apariencia, pero la ciencia nos permite alcanzar la cosa en si. Un punto de vista erróneo, es el que nos da el fenomenalismo, el cual dice que solo se puede captar lo que aparece. Pero el valor de la investigación consiste en averiguar cómo es realmente el objeto y los acontecimientos bajo estudio. El contenido de éste libro consiste en algunas reflexiones sobre la naturaleza del ethos científico y la racionalidad que resultan de su manejo. Se destaca particularmente el requerimiento de un enfoque realista que puede ser materialista y con ello se elimina el fenomenalismo, que fue una construcción enteramente equivocada.

The Tant-Fant finds its origin in Bengal, India. The original game hereby referred to as the classical game has two players. To develop a basic understanding in the reader's mind, the paper describes the rules and strategies for playing Tant-Fant in detail. The classical game board can be drawn on paper, played on board, or a web reference available. In the classical version, players ought to have three pieces aligned in a row termed as a three-in-a-row either horizontally, vertically, or diagonally but not on the players' initial position also termed as the home row. Alternatively, the players can make specifically a diagonal three-piece alignment also termed a diagonal three-in-a-row. QTF uses the counter-intuitive principles of quantum superposition and collapse to design new moves. The players may choose from either of the two quantum moves, QM1 and QM2 which are equivalent to placing a superposition of pieces in different squares. The quantization of a given game use fewer steps in comparison to classical computation, bringing out previously non-existing strategies for game playing and for tackling more and more complexities in the game. Quantum computers are finding potential applications in almost every field of life. As the quantization of many classical games has already been achieved, the quantization of a lost traditional game would be an interesting feat to achieve.

El autor ha querido ilustrar a través de esta producción el sentimiento tan particular de habitar un país en donde tanquetas antidisturbios lanzan agua a manifestantes mientras las regiones de clima cálido del territorio nacional mueren de sed, lo cual provoca más protestas. El sentimiento de habitar una ciudad donde existe el cargo gubernamental del Gerente Del Metro y sin embargo no hay metro. De caminar por calles en las que las ambulancias pasean a los enfermos porque ningún sistema de salud los quiere atender. Estas son solo algunas de las tragicómicas aventuras que hacen tanto eco como mella en el pensamiento de un joven interesado en dar a conocer a la academia su perspectiva acerca de cómo es la realidad tan disforme y a la vez incomprensible que hoy día se ha asentado en el gobierno del mundo. No se trata, este escrito de una critica rampante, o si, se trata más de un ordinario señalamiento con el dedo índice a quien hacía piruetas en una bicicleta y sin previo aviso fue a frenar contra el pavimento provocando la risa de los presentes, en esa bicicleta iba pavoneándose la sociedad moderna y quien se burla es todo el pensamiento posterior, el autor quiere reír con ellos.

¡Profe Mario! toque la guitarra y cantemos una canción, esta es la clase de música y es la mejor clase que tenemos me dijo Yari. Por un momento todo en mi mente, absolutamente todo, quedó en completo silencio, a pesar de compartir el salón de clases con mi estimado Yari y más de treinta estudiantes tocando flautas, quenas, zampoñas, bombos y maracas. En aquel momento comprendí que en la clase de música no sólo se aprende a hacer música, también se aprende a hacer buena música y además de ello, se aprende a ser buenas personas. Es este un primer acercamiento en el que pretendo sea un camino extenso lleno de retos, de obstáculos, decisiones y aprendizajes, y en el que la música sea un actor fabuloso, un personaje sin comparación, un ingrediente de sabores excelsos para que cada persona se reconozca como un ente transformador de su propia realidad y para bien, de la realidad de todos y todas las demás. Música y habilidades sociales, una combinación que de verdad suena bien, como un sonsureño tocado en el carnaval de blancos y negros, o como una quena sonando en los confines de los Andes.

Mitochondria are central to neuronal health, serving as the primary energy producers within cells. This vital role makes them a focal point in understanding various neurological disorders. Across conditions such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), multiple sclerosis, neuroinflammatory disorders, neurodevelopmental disorders, stroke, and traumatic brain injury (TBI), mitochondrial dysfunction emerges as a common thread. In Alzheimer's disease, for instance, dysfunctional mitochondria contribute to the accumulation of amyloid-beta plaques and tau protein tangles, accelerating neurodegeneration. Similarly, in Parkinson's disease, mitochondrial impairment disrupts cellular energy production, exacerbating the loss of dopaminergic neurons and leading to motor dysfunction. ALS, characterized by the progressive degeneration of motor neurons, also exhibits mitochondrial dysfunction, further contributing to the disease pathology. Additionally, in conditions like multiple sclerosis and neuroinflammatory disorders, dysfunctional mitochondria exacerbate inflammation and neuronal damage. The role of mitochondria extends beyond neurodegenerative diseases; in neurodevelopmental disorders such as autism and intellectual disabilities, disturbances in mitochondrial dynamics impact neuronal connectivity and synaptic function. Furthermore, mitochondrial impairment plays a significant role in acute neurological insults like stroke and TBI, exacerbating neuronal injury and complicating recovery processes. Despite the challenges posed by mitochondrial dysfunction in neurological disorders, there is growing interest in mitochondrial therapeutics as a promising avenue for neuroprotection and disease modification. Investigating the neuroprotective potential of mitochondrial-targeted interventions opens new avenues for therapeutic development and offers hope for mitigating the impact of mitochondrial dysfunction across a spectrum of neurological conditions.

This book endeavors to forge a comprehensive theoretical framework, shedding light on the intricate web of causal relationships linking negative attitudes towards vulnerability of autonomy to the perpetuation of oppressive behaviors. Commencing with a rigorous definition of vulnerability, the study introduces The Attitudes Towards Vulnerability of Autonomy Scale (ATVAS), an instrument that meticulously assesses the cognitive, affective, and behavioral dimensions of this attitude. The introduction of the English version of ATVAS further broadens its cross-cultural applicability, affirming the inverse association between negative attitudes towards vulnerability of autonomy and key psychological factors such as self-worth, self-esteem, and generalized trust, a correlation originally identified in the Mexican study. This development represents a stride forward in both research and practical application, with social workers and psychologists primed to harness the potential of ATVAS to tailor interventions with the aim of catalyzing positive transformations within their respective communities.
