“…Until now, the study on maize tortillas has focused mainly on nutritional aspects (Bello-Perez et al, 2016;García Méndez, 2004), physicochemical characteristics (Amador, 2005) and sensory (Feria-Morales and Pangborn, 1983;Herrera Corredor, 2007), anthropological (Vizcarra Bordi, 2006, 2000, public policy and economic analysis (López Arévalo et al, 2015), related to its elaboration processes (Serratos-Hernandez et al, 2016), concerning its acceptance and purchase intent (Herrera Corredor et al, 2010), and in an incipient way the perceptions about the maize tortilla (Jaramillo Villanueva, 2015;Sánchez-Vega et al, 2020;Sánchez-Vega et al, 2018). Sánchez-Vega et al (2020) established the coexistence of postmodern and traditional perceptions about tortillas according to the differences in three geographical zones of the country, according to their socio-cultural, historical and economic development.…”

Studying food consumption has been broadly addressed in different countries, which has helped to establish commercial strategies and position relevant topics into public policies. In Mexico, such studies have incipiently approached foods in specific regions; thereby there is need for a study with a broader geographical scope that addresses a culturally relevant product such as maize tortillas. The aim of this work was to identify the urban consumers’ characteristics and their perceptions and motives to consume maize tortillas. A questionnaire based on the Food Choice Questionnaire was applied to 1156 urban consumers in seven cities of Mexico. Data were processed with factor analysis and hierarchical clustering. Nine factors and three groups of consumers were identified. Adaptation towards semi-industrialised tortillas was identified in 75% of consumers. In the other 25%, there was a predilection for artisanal hand-made tortillas, to resist industrialised products. These are aspects that influence the decision of where to buy and the sort of product demanded. The study provides knowledge to strengthen the maize-tortilla agri-food system.

Las actividades comunitarias resultan relevantes en el marco de los subsistemas educativos como el Telebachillerato chiapaneco. En este escrito se pretende considerar ese saber cultural y reconocer su papel epistemológico para proporcionar elementos para el diseño de actividades para el aula. Como resultado, la elaboración de la tortilla se muestra como un contexto de significación para la matemática del cambio y la variación. Esto precisó articular los elementos epistemológicos del cambio y la variación, sustentarlos a través del desarrollo de prácticas variacionales y favorecer el reconocimiento de un sistema de referencia variacional. La articulación de estos elementos con la actividad comunitaria se evidencia como un contexto de significación para la intervención didáctica en el aula de matemáticas.

This work is part of one of the priorities of sustainable development that is the conservation of soil and the care of aquifers. Water is a vital liquid for human and all kind of living beings, the presence of pesticides in drinking water is a health problem that requires solution. In this paper, a review of the different methods used for the removal of pesticides in wastewater is made, such as biological remediation methods, using plants and microorganisms, remediation by physical methods by adsorption of contaminants with activated carbon, zeolites, polymers and clays and finally chemical remediation, through advanced oxidation with the production of hydroxyl radicals. A review of the most commonly used pesticides in the different agricultural areas is carried out, as well as their impact on the health of the inhabitants in these regions. Finally, a comparison of the advantages and disadvantages of these methods is made both for its effectiveness as well as for their cost.
