Diet selection is one of the behavioral strategies that has allowed them to avoid nutritional deficiencies or poisonings, even under conditions of low food availability. Likewise, browsing as an ingestive behavior of the species allows them to select and obtain plants with adequate crude protein values, which favor their development and survival. Also, goats adapt to the chemical characteristics of plants, which develop bioactive compounds to avoid being consumed. These secondary metabolites can have antinutritional and toxic effects, as well as medicinal or curative effects, depending on the consumption that the animal has. The objective of this work was to review the selection and habits of goats in the consumption of native plants, to determine how they favor the survival and productivity of the species under the conditions of environmental adversity that characterize arid regions. This knowledge will allow to establish strategies for the proper management of the rangeland and to know the effect that the compounds of the secondary metabolism of the plants may have on the reproductive, nutritional, and health processes, as well as on the products derived from the milk or meat of these animals.","PeriodicalId":42451,"journal":{"name":"CienciaUat","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2021-01-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48823997","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The objective of this research was to determine if the variables of education, training, motivation and organizational environment have an impact on the social capital of small and medium sized enterprises. 82 questionnaires were administered to owners, managers or managers of 3 and 4 star hotels affiliated to the Association of Hotels and Motels of Southern Tamaulipas. A multiple linear regression analysis was performed to determine the correlations between the constructs. The results indicated that there is a relationship between the factors of human capital and social capital.

It has been shown that student engagement has three components: behavioral, emotional and cognitive. Motivation and engagement are strongly related since the former is a precursor of engagement. The aim of this study was to compare the efficiency of linear regression against two data mining techniques to predict the students’ academic performance in higher education. A descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out with 222 students from a public higher education institution in Mexico city. An analysis of hierarchical linear regression (LR) and learning analytics techniques such as neural networks (NN) and support vector machine (SVM) was conducted. To assess the accuracy of the learning analytics techniques, an analysis of variance (ANOVA) was carried out. The techniques were compared using cross validation. The results showed that behavioral engagement and self-efficacy had positive effects on student achievements, while passivity showed a negative effect. Likewise, the LR and SVM techniques had the same performance on predicting students’ achievements. The LR has the advantage of producing a simple and easy model. On the contrary, the SVM technique generates a more complex model. Although, if the model were aimed to forecast the performance, the SVM technique would be the most appropriate, since it does not require to verify any statistical assumption.","PeriodicalId":42451,"journal":{"name":"CienciaUat","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2020-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43946439","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the effect that these have on the microbial activity and, therefore, on its potential for assimilation at the ruminal level is unknown. For that reason, the objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of the addition of inoculants and additives in silage of the entire plant of Sorghum sp. on fractions of ruminal fermentation and in vitro degradation. The experimental design was completely random, with 7 treatments (3 inoculants, 2 additives and a combination of inoculate with additive) and 21 repetitions per treatment. Different types of inoculants and additives were used in the process of sorghum silage: cheese whey, yogurt, phosphoric acid, Lactobacillus plantarum and mineral mixture. After 60 d of fermentation, dry matter (DM), hydrogen potential (Hp), crude protein (CP), in vitro dry matter degradation to 24 h (IVDMD), parameters of fermentation kinetics (Vmax= maximum volume L = lag phase, S = fermentation rate) and fractional volume (rapid fermentation = 0 h to 8 h, intermediate = 8 h to 24 h and slow = 24 h to 72 h) were quantified through the in vitro gas production technique. The results indicated that the inoculants and additives modified the chemical composition, the L parameters, Vmax, IVDMD and the rapid and intermediate fermentation fractions (P < 0.05). The use of cheese whey and L. plantarum as inoculants in sorghum silage reduced the loss of CP; and, overall, the use of inoculants and additives improved silage Hp; however, it decreased the use of rapid and intermediate fermentation fractions, modified the fermentation potential of the silage and provoked a negative effect on the IVDMD.","PeriodicalId":42451,"journal":{"name":"CienciaUat","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2020-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49325031","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This research is based on a qualitative methodology that includes interviews with 3 Central American recruiters and 12 women from Mexico and Central America. The main results indicate that these networks recruit predominantly vulnerable underage girls with a past associated with prostitution and towering economic necessities. Recruitment mechanisms used by these networks are not based on the use of violence, but on the abuse of a position of vulnerability. In conclusion, not resorting to violent recruitment strategies reduces the risk of this activity, since women do not report them because they do not consider themselves victims.","PeriodicalId":42451,"journal":{"name":"CienciaUat","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2020-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43757720","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A qualitative and quantitative search, classification, and review of the primary sources in the Web of Science, Scopus, and Redalyc databases was performed. This information was contrasted with the content of the ECBR Management Program. Results show an indirect association between publications and the management program with the absence of publications in the culture, communication, and management subprograms. The need to systematize the addressed topics was also evident. The main achievement of this work is the integration, mapping, and systematization of publications, which establishes a baseline for future studies. The existing knowledge about ECBR, published in scientific journals, was conducted from a disciplinary approach in the field of Biology. There is evidence that it was used to prepare its most recent management program and that it impacts at least 20 % of the actions included in the document. However, the process for the transfer of knowledge was indirect, and new transdisciplinary approaches are required to address the existing socio-ecological problems.","PeriodicalId":42451,"journal":{"name":"CienciaUat","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2020-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46347108","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This has been conceived as an unpleasant experience related to the need for unsatisfied interpersonal intimacy, which implies an imbalance in the level of socio-affective interaction of an individual and occurs when the individual’s social network is deficient. Its measurement has been carried out through different instruments, among which the Social and Emotional Loneliness Scale for Adults (SELSA), which includes loneliness in 3 social domains: couple, family and friends, stand out for their psychometric characteristics. The objective of this research was the psychometric validation of the Social and Emotional Loneliness Scale for Adults (SELSA) in the context of the couple’s relationship, as well as assess its relationship with attachment styles in Mexico. This requires an accidental non-probabilistic sample of 194 heterosexual couples. The study design was instrumental because the validation of a new measure of loneliness was performed and correlated to the analysis of Pearson’s correlation between loneliness factors and attachment styles. As a result of the validation, 5 factors were obtained, accompaniment of friends, accompaniment of the partner, accompaniment of the family, feeling of emptiness and longing for which the last two had not been obtained in the original version. Finally, when\u0000analyzing the relationships between attachment styles and loneliness, interesting data were observed that indicate the importance of the accompaniment of the partner when secure attachment is developed. Furthermore, the data also show the central role played by the accompaniment of family and friends when anxious or avoidant attachments, in addition to higher rates of feelings of emptiness and longing, are experienced.","PeriodicalId":42451,"journal":{"name":"CienciaUat","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.3,"publicationDate":"2020-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46663388","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The objective of this research was to establish a model that predicts the risk of high school students’ drop in Mexico. A quantitative, non-experimental and cross-sectional research was developed. The independent variable, which was the risk of dropping out of school, was assessed through the School Dropout Questionnaire, while the predictive variables study habits, self-regulation learning and learning styles (as requested by the participating institution) were assessed through the Study Habits Questionnaire, the Learning Strategies and Motivation Questionnaire (CEAM II), and the Honey – Alonso Learning Styles Questionnaire (CHAEA). To determine the predictive equation, the binary logistic regression model was used using the “Wald backward elimination steps” method, with a sample of 192 first semester students of an agricultural technological baccalaureate, whose ages ranged between 14 and 16 years. A model that includes the dimensions of note taking study planning strategies related to study habits; and self-efficacy for learning, related to self-regulation was obtained. This model explained 37.0 % of the phenomenon.

The maximum sustainable yield (MSY), which means the maximum catch that can be obtained without the depletion of the fishing resource at any given time is one of the main points of reference in the evaluation of fisheries. In this study, the MSY of sharks in Mexico was estimated for 26 coastal areas (Mexico, Pacific ocean, gulf of Mexico, 6 regions of the NOM-029-PESC-2006 and 17 coastal States). Catch time series (CTS) were used in tons per year of reported catch (Rc) and total catch (Tc) (reported catch + non-reported catch) over the 1976 to 2014 period. In addition, empirical models that relate the maximum catch of the STM to the MSY were applied. There were no significant differences between the models applied. Based on the estimated Tc and MSY (T x 103) there is an over-exploitation of sharks in Mexico (Tc = 51 417, MSY = 29 040), in the Pacific ocean (Tc = 38 654, MSY = 20 840) and in the gulf of Mexico (Tc = 15 737, MSY = 14 540); in Regions 2 (gulf of California) (Tc = 22 664, MSY = 14 330) and 5 (coastal line of Tamaulipas, Veracruz and Tabasco) (Tc = 9 202, MSY = 8 510) and on thecoast of the States of Baja California (Tc = 5 781, MSY = 4 880) and Baja California Sur (Tc = 5 950, MSY = 5 510).
