Abstract Background: The Forensic Science Undergraduate Program -hosted by the School of Medicine of the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM)-aims to train highly qualified forensic science professionals. Eight years after welcoming its first students, we offer an overview of the admission process, grade point average, graduation rate, choice of degree-awarding options, and entry into the workplace. Objective: To carry out a detailed analysis of student profiles at different stages of their undergraduate studies that provides key information for making decisions towards the development of the competencies that define the skill set of the forensic scientist and better prepare them to perform in the job market. Method: This is a descriptive work that offers an overview of the student profiles from their admission to their entry into the workplace by means of information analyzed with descriptive statistics and presented graphically using R and Microsoft Excel. Results: Data analysis portrays a student population that performs well in both high school and university, with minimal failure rates and correspondingly high and timely graduation rates, and better employment prospects than those enjoyed by other graduates of UNAM. Conclusions: The information presented will be useful to guide decision-making that leads to adjusting teaching and evaluation to the professional profile and nature of forensic science, as well as disseminating the potential of the forensic scientist’s skill set to facilitate their employment. It will also serve as a basis for future more in-depth analysis of social service performance, degree options and employment opportunities.

Resumo Cuidados colaborativos entre saúde mental e atenção primária são efetivos em melhorar desfechos de saúde. O apoio matricial tem semelhanças com cuidados colaborativos pouco exploradas na literatura. Este artigo compara os dois modelos e analisa o apoio matricial a partir de evidências sobre cuidados colaborativos. Revisão narrativa. Componentes de cada modelo (atividades e dimensões) foram identificados e comparados. Evidências sobre cuidados colaborativos informaram análise de componentes semelhantes do apoio matricial. Foram identificadas dimensões do apoio matricial – suporte educacional, cuidado especializado, regulação, cogestão – e dos cuidados colaborativos – cuidado multiprofissional, comunicação sistemática, cuidado estruturado, suporte organizacional. A principal semelhança entre os modelos está nas atividades colaborativas diretas em torno de problemas clínicos, relacionadas a efetividade em estudos sobre cuidados colaborativos. Atividades colaborativas diretas são ponto positivo do apoio matricial. Cuidado estruturado e suporte em nível organizacional devem ser encorajados. Futuros estudos devem refinar as categorias propostas e explorar seu uso para desenvolvimento do apoio matricial.

Abstract Collaborative care between mental health and primary care is effective in improving health outcomes. The matrix support has similarities with collaborative care little explored in the literature. This article compares the two models and analyzes the matrix support from evidence on collaborative care. Narrative review. Components of each model (activities and dimensions) were identified and compared. Evidence on collaborative care informed analysis of similar components of matrix support. The dimensions of the matrix support – educational support, specialized care, regulation, co-management – and collaborative care – multiprofessional care, systematic communication, structured care, organizational support – were identified. The main similarity between the models lies in the direct collaborative activities around clinical problems which is related to effectiveness in collaborative care studies. Direct collaborative activities are a positive aspect of matrix support. Structured care and support at the organizational level should be encouraged. Future studies should refine the proposed categories and explore their use for the development of matrix support.

Abstract In this article Juan de Jáuregui’s Orfeo is examined in the light of the prescriptive arguments he puts forward both in the Antídoto contra la pestilente poesía de las Soledades and in the Discurso poético. In this way an attempt is made to establish the nature of the style used in his mythological poem. By comparing these aspects, the importance of poetic furor is stressed as a key element of Jáuregui’s classicist perspective, which brings the poem closer to the style of Góngora. In this paper the views of Jáuregui in the literary context of 17th century Spain are also analyzed.

Resumen Este artículo se propone revisar el Orfeo de Juan de Jáuregui a la luz de las críticas expresadas en el Antídoto contra la pestilente poesía de las Soledades y de las ideas preceptivas presentes en el Discurso poético para establecer la entidad propia del estilo empleado en su composición de tema mitológico. Al comparar tales aspectos, se destaca la importancia del furor poético como elemento clave de la perspectiva clasicista de Jáuregui, el cual lo aproximará al estilo de Góngora. También se examina las opiniones de Jáuregui dentro del ámbito literario de la España del siglo XVII.

Objective. The objective of this study was to pilot test and evaluate a HIV prevention program that used a Freirean approach to engage Latino immigrant MSM (men who have sex with men) on issues of sexual orientation, family acceptance, stigma as well as HIV prevention and sexual risk behaviors. Materials and methods. Participants were evaluated using a survey before and after participation in the program and compared to a control group. Focus groups where participants discussed their experiences in the program as well as perceptions of the program were held and analyzed. Results. Survey results indicate that after their participation in the program, participants increased their safer sex behaviors, comfort disclosing their sexual orientation and support from friends. Conclusions. HIV prevention needs to incorporate cultural, social and structural factors.

Objetivo. El objetivo de este estudio fue probar de manera piloto y evaluar un programa de prevención de VIH que usó una aproximación Freiriana que motivaba a los HSH (hombres que tienen sexo con hombres) en temas de orientación sexual, aceptación familiar, estigma, prácticas sexuales de riesgo y prevención de VIH. Material y métodos. Los participantes contestaron un cuestionario antes y después de participar en el programa mismo que se comparó con un grupo piloto. También se llevaron a cabo grupos focales donde los participantes discutieron sus experiencias y percepciones sobre el programa. Resultados. El análisis de los resultados señala que después de su participación en el programa, los HSH reportaron más prácticas sexuales seguras, más comodidad en revelar su orientación sexual y apoyo de amistades. Conclusiones. La prevención del VIH debe tomar en cuenta factores culturales, sociales y estructurales.

Field work information shows that traditional midwives have acted directly to enforce women's rights. They shared a common vision, in which women have equal rights in all sorts of areas, not only in their private space, but in marriage relations, as well. That information affirms the importance that collaboration in housework and child care should be shared by equal parts between wife and husband. Decisions about sexuality and family planning must be taken in an open and consensual fashion. Midwives have sufficient authority in the community to influence people private life, and repeatedly they confront male authority in domestic issues, without being intimidated by the resulting conflict.

La información obtenida en trabajo de campo hace ver que las parteras tradicionales han actuado directamente para hacer respetar los derechos de las mujeres, compartiendo una visión común en donde la mujer tiene los mismos derechos que el hombre en todo tipo de ámbitos, concretamente ya sea en el espacio privado, o en las relaciones matrimoniales. Se afirma la importancia de que la colaboración en las tareas del hogar y la crianza de los hijos deben ser llevadas por partes iguales, tanto por la esposa como por el esposo, y que la toma de decisiones sobre sexualidad y planificación familiar debe de ser abierta y consensuada. Las parteras poseen autoridad suficiente en su comunidad como para influir en la vida privada de las personas, y en repetidas ocasiones confrontan la autoridad masculina en las relaciones intrafamiliares, sin que el conflicto resultante las amedrente.

Due to the physical and biological conditions arising from its geographical situation, a significant area of Mexico is covered by wetlands, which are legally considered to be a strategic reserve of fresh water under the responsibility of the National Water Commission. In this research, two levels of characterization were developed: the first at a scale of 1: 250 000 applied to the watershed level and the second at a scale of 1:25 000 at the wetland level. The first approach involved the development of two land use and vegetation maps based on classifications by satellite images. The images on one map were acquired in 1979 and the other in 2003. We thereby obtained changes in vegetation and land cover in one interval of 25 years. The second level included the detailed mapping of vegetation and land use within the Laguna de Alvarado wetland with images acquired in 2006. The comparison between the 1979 and 2003 coverage showed negative changes in hydrophytes, water bodies and forest classes. This is understood as a serious threat to the sustainability of wetlands.

Debido a las condiciones físico-biológicas derivadas de su situación geográfica, México cuenta con una importante superficie cubierta por humedales, los cuales son considerados en la ley como reservas estratégicas de agua bajo la responsabilidad de la Comisión Nacional del Agua. En este estudio se desarrollaron dos niveles de caracterización: el primero en escala 1:250 000 aplicado a nivel de cuenca hidrográfica y el segundo en escalas de 1:25 000 a nivel de humedal. El primero comprendió la elaboración de dos mapas de uso de suelo y vegetación con base en imágenes de satélite. Uno con imágenes tomadas en 1979 y el otro con imágenes tomadas en 2003. De esta manera se obtuvieron los cambios en las coberturas de vegetación y uso de suelo en un intervalo de 25 años. El segundo nivel abarcó la elaboración del mapa detallado de uso de suelo y vegetación con imágenes de 2006 para el humedal Laguna de Alvarado. La comparación entre coberturas de 1979 y 2003 mostró cambios negativos en la clase hidrófila, cuerpos de agua y forestal, lo que constituye una seria amenaza a la sustentabilidad de los humedales.
