    Sustainable Gardening for Economic Inclusion, Poverty Reduction, and Culture Preservation
    (2022)

    Sustainable gardening activities can be the basis to reduce poverty while preserving culture. By generating economic inclusion, gardening can provide the entry point into society for vulnerable communities. Community stakeholders in Mexico City and Northeast Ohio were studied to analyze whether sustainable gardening can generate economic inclusion while preserving culture. Through in-depth interviews, the relationship between these three components is analyzed. In particular, topics such as gardening experience, family traditions, institutional support, economic barriers, use of technology, cropping methods, and social integration were explored. From conception to implementation and analysis, the goal of agency building reinforced social sustainability. In addition to interpretive qualitative interviews, experiential research was conducted through a “working-with” model where the communities in reference contributed intellectual resources to the project-based research design. Primary results fall into three primary categories including gardening methods, cultural preservation, and economic factors. In each analyzed case, implications of cultural preservation emerge as a foundational motivation to maintain the particular agricultural practice. Despite significant economic barriers, including high poverty rates, the cases in reference nonetheless maintain traditions, thus highlighting the importance of culture. Negative economic implications suggest an absence of institutional support, which contribute to issues of poverty and low quality of life. Social implications indicate a level of marginalization that contributes to the aforementioned economic and institutional barriers. © 2022 by the authors.

    Background: Fetal growth restriction (FGR) may be related to ethnicity. Additionally, ethnic groups experience adverse socioeconomic circumstances that increase FGR risk. However, the dearth of evidence of the interaction between socioeconomic factors and FGR highlights the need for additional research. Objective: To analyze the association between socioeconomic factors and FGR in Maya and non-Maya populations in Yucatan, Mexico. Methods: A total of 21,320 singleton births in 2017 in Yucatan were analyzed. The student’s t-test and the chi-square test were used to compare the means and proportions of maternal and perinatal variables between the FGR group and the birthweight appropriate for gestational age (AGA) group. Path analysis was performed to identify the direct and indirect effects of socioeconomic factors on FGR and mediators between predictors and FGR. © The Journal of Maternal-Fetal & Neonatal Medicine

    Del dominio a la propiedad individual
    (2016)
    Martínez Echevarría, Miguel Alfonso
    ;
    Scalzo, Germán  
    El presente artículo presenta una reflexión sobre la riqueza o el “modo humano de tener”, tanto desde una perspectiva privada –relacionada con la noción de dominium–,como pública –ius o derecho–. Tras una fundamentación antropológica del dominio, se analiza su evolución histórica y en especial el extraño caso del “dominio sin propiedad” que propone la pobreza voluntaria franciscana y que da lugar a una visión espiritualista del dominio. Esta perspectiva contribuiría a que en la modernidad se produjera un cierto enfrentamiento entre las nociones de derecho y ley. Esta tensión, presente en la filosofía de Suárez, es fundamental para comprender las interpretaciones modernas del dominio como un derecho de propiedad individual. ©2016 Cauriensia, Universidad de Extremadura.
