Protección social a la infancia y la COVID-19. Implicaciones normativas e institucionales de la respuesta del gobierno de la Ciudad de México
No full textEl propósito del estudio de caso es analizar la respuesta del gobierno de la ciudad de México a la crisis derivada de la COVID-19 y, en particular, la forma en que ha afectado la protección social de la infancia durante los primeros meses de la pandemia. Se analiza diseño institucional normativo de la protección social a la infancia en México, y particularmente en la Ciudad de México, así como las actividades del gobierno de la ciudad de México para disminuir el impacto de la crisis en la infancia. Teórica y metodológicamente el artículo sigue la estrategia de estudio de caso cualitativo apoyado por la literatura en gestión de crisis y análisis institucional. Uno de los principales hallazgos se encuentra en la existencia de mecanismos normativos y de programas desde el ámbito internacional hasta el local, así como las debilidades en los mecanismos de protección social frente al COVID-19, los cuales sugieren que las medidas han sido poco eficaces para atender a la población vulnerable; además de las implicaciones prácticas se encuentran tanto en la generación de nuevas líneas de investigación como en los mecanismos de coordinación entre los niveles de gobierno

Computational analysis of a Mn-based electrocatalyst with primary amine substituents in the secondary coordination sphere for CO2 reduction
Get PDFThe purpose of this research was to report the mechanism for the two-electron, two-proton conversion of CO 2 to CO and H 2 O using a manganese(I) electrocatalyst, Mn(L)(CO) 3 Br (where L = bipyridyl ligand with aryl-amine moieties installed at the 6 position of 2,2’-bipyridine), synthesized by the Jurss group, including any other competing reactions, such as the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). The “protonation- first” and “reduction-first” pathways were considered for CO 2 RR. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations were performed to determine the redox potentials and Gibb’s free energies for each step in the mechanism for CO 2 RR and HER. Herein, we show that the “reduction-first” pathway is the most favorable in the production of CO, especially under high applied potential (i.e., high overpotential regime used experimentally). Additionally, this work confirms the selectivity of Mn(L)(CO) 3 Br for CO production over H 2 formation. Repeating these calculations with a larger basis set and focusing future research on additional functionalized ligands will be an improvement upon this work
Dominance and radical submission in seventeenth-century drama: chastity, fairness, and silence in portrayals of Mar(r)iam(ne), Sophonisba, and Cleopatra
Get PDFThis thesis conducts an extensive reading of early modern English playwrights’ interpretation of ancient royalty. I survey a series of seventeenth-century plays concerning Mariamne I, the Carthaginian noblewoman Sophonisba, and Cleopatra VII. I argue that the English stage produced two models of ancient royalty. Mar(r)iam(ne) and Sophonisba personify one model, functioning as white, seemingly obedient figureheads. I document playwrights portraying their men as reducing them to their chastity and fairness, or lack thereof. Despite the inactivity of these objectified women, the qualities that these men obsess over catalyze masculine irrationality. The other model, which Cleopatra embodies, encompasses blackness and defiance. Though contemporary scholarship on these plays discusses the role of sexuality in these texts, scholars do not acknowledge the extent to which these ancient queens were sites of racial imagination, nor the extent to which these two models of ancient royalty were in conversation with another
A Principal-agent approach to locating the politically decisive coalitions on health in countries worldwide, pre-COVID 19 Pandemic: Who is primarily accountable for the financing and delivery of health care, and who do they answer to?
Get PDFWe examined decision making in health using the Decision Space approach, which is rooted in the principal-agent theory. Countries analyzed were Algeria, Argentina, Australia, Austria, Bangladesh, Belgium, Finland, Guatemala, Hungary, Israel, Nigeria, Spain, Thailand, and Turkey. Researchers sought to analyze who was the de facto decision maker of health related decisions in each state. We have accomplished this through looking at government structures and the financing of health, which gave significant insight into who the primary authority on health is. Furthermore, we examined who holds this de facto decision maker accountable. In some cases it was the executive that did so, while in others it was a political coalition. We find that poorer countries tend to have increased expenditure by NGOs, and have a high presence of private health providers, driving up out of pocket spending and making those countries more accountable to private or external interests than to any domestic political coalitions
Synthesis and characterization of hydrazine derivatives of coumarin for bioorthogonal chemistry inside cells
Get PDFProtein carbonylation is one manifestation of oxidative stress, which is characteristic of many diseases. Our lab has developed several coumarin-hydrazine based fluorescent probes capable of detecting carbonylation in live cells via the formation of hydrazone conjugates. As an effort to expand and improve on these achievements, this work presents new data regarding the synthesis and characterization of three such probes. Two of the probes—julolidine coumarin hydrazide (JCH) and trifluoromethyl coumarin hydrazine (TFCH)—were previously synthesized by our lab. Here, JCH is studied in terms of its reaction speed and fluorescence enhancement in acylhydrazone formation with aldehydes under various conditions and catalytic schemes. For TFCH, the previously developed synthetic scheme is replicated, and the molecule is subjected to analysis of its reaction with various aldehydes, as well as stability studies. The synthesis of a third probe—coumarin acid hydrazine (CAH)—is developed, adding a novel analog to our library. CAH is substituted with a carboxylic acid at the 4-position, which may confer the benefit of enhanced water solubility and situates it as the precursor to an ester substituted derivative for future work
Torus knot (3,5) Olivewood. Figure 2
No full textA 3,5 torus knot carved from Olivewood. completed four new wooden torus knot sculptures, two from Purpleheart wood and two from Olivewood. One of the Purpleheart pieces came from a 2 x6 x6 block, and all the others were from 2 x4 x4 blocks. I made two (3,5) torus knots, one from the larger Purpleheart block and one from an Olivewood block. The other two smaller blocks were made into torus links, that is, two (2,1) torus knots linked, which happens when you make a (4,2) torus ``knot .https://orb.binghamton.edu/mathematical_sculptures/1624/thumbnail.jp
