Reverse leasing and power dynamics among blue agave farmers in western Mexico

Abstract

Facing the worldwide coral degradation, active restorations are moving toward improving techniques to maintain coral coverage. Transplant methods have been used to restore coral reef areas that were completely degraded; however restoration is not commonly employed at coral reefs with evident loss that may jeopardize the maintenance of the community. In this study the re-attachment concept using the natural fragmentation of branched-corals was tested as an accelerator process to natural recovery based on asexual reproduction. Survivorship, growth and attachment rates of three Pocillopora species on both natural and artificial substrates were evaluated at four sites of Islas Marietas. Over one year of monitoring during 2012-2013, resulted in a high survivorship of 87% on artificial underwater structures and 67% on natural substrate, the height and radial growth, on both substrata increase 2-fold from the initial size; although both substrata were viable, coral fragments attach faster on natural (4 months) than artificial structures (6 months). The results demonstrate that re-attachment using natural substrata is a potential and no invasive instrument for treating coral reefs not completely degraded in restoration programs.

The advent of antiangiogenic agents in cancer treatment and their off-label use with favorable results in the treatment of proliferative vessel disease of the retina among adult patients, as well as anecdotal reports in the literature and a series of cases showing serious methodological flaws, have prompted their use in the treatment of retinopathy of prematurity. Unfortunately, these agents used indiscriminately in our country have a systemic absorption and secondary effects on the preterm patient's body. There are no long-term monitoring studies that guarantee their safe use in this segment of the population. This article describes the situation in our country and warns of the risks posed by the use of this type of drug on the preterm infant population.",,,,,,,,,"http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12104/44247","http://www.scopus.com/inward/record.url?eid=2-s2.0-84886046464&partnerID=40&md5=954afe6070cfb39177b95f1eea4d64cf

The critical vesicle concentration (cvc), measured by tensiometry, conductimetry, ion-selective-electrode potentiometry and dye solubilization, is similar to the value reported in the literature. Moreover, the combination of surfactant-ion-selective-electrode and bromide-ion-selective-electrode potentiometry indicates that the vesicles are substantially ionized (? approximate 0.5) in the proximity of the cvc. The transition from small unilamellar vesicles to larger multilamellar liposomes was detected at 0.2 wt% by viscometry, conductimetry and dye solubilization measurements. The theology of the DDAB/water system was studied as a function of surfactant concentration and temperature. Non-Newtonian behavior, viscoelasticity, yield stresses and time-dependent flow behavior were observed. Maxima and minima in the dynamic moduli and in conductivity are related to structural changes and phase transitions. Moreover, in time-dependent shear flow, the microstructure is modified and the theological response shifts from thixotropic to antithixotropic or vice versa, depending on the DDAB concentration and the level and duration of the final applied stress. The conductivity behavior in the Lam1 phase region can be qualitatively explained by the capillary superconductivity theory. This conductivity behavior occurs when the thickness of the aqueous lamella is of the same order of magnitude as the Debye length.",,,,,,,,,"http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12104/44261","http://www.scopus.com/inward/record.url?eid=2-s2.0-0033965304&partnerID=40&md5=36fa3047c4579ac7c45d7a59458159ea",,,,,,"1",,"Colloid and Polymer Science",,"37

Gerritsen, P.R.W.",,"2007",,"We examine changing production relations in the Mexican tequila industry to explore the ways in which large industrial firms are using "reverse leasing arrangements," a form of contract farming, to extend their control over small agave farmers. Under these arrangements, smallholders rent their parcels to contracting companies who bring in capital, machinery, labor, and other agricultural inputs. Smallholders do not have access to their land, nor do they make any of the management decisions. We analyze the factors that have led some producers to participate in reverse leasing arrangements, while allowing other producers to continue farming independently. In addition, we look at the ways in which farmers are responding to these new production relations and constraints and the strategies that they are using to regain control over the production process.
