El presente trabajo tiene por objetivo establecer una comparación de dos técnicas estadísticas multivariadas empleadas en investigaciones clínico-epidemiológicas para la identificación de factores pronósticos o de riesgo a partir de diseños observacionales. Se comparan la regresión logística binaria, muy empleada en salud desde mediados del siglo pasado para identificar la influencia de diversos factores sobre un desenlace dicotómico y el análisis estadístico implicativo, herramienta de la minería de datos, empleada para modelar la cuasi-implicación entre los sucesos y variables, que surgió para solucionar problemas de la Didáctica de las matemáticas; para lo cual se llevó a cabo una revisión de la literatura y de las investigaciones en las cuales se aplicaron de forma simultánea ambas técnicas. Se definieron catorce patrones de comparación. Se presentan las ventajas del análisis estadístico implicativo y se sugiere su empleo contextualizado previo a la regresión logística en los estudios epidemiológicos de causalidad.

A subdural hematoma is a collection of blood between the duramater, which is the membrane that covers the brain, and the arachnoid, one of the layers of the meninges; it is due to the traumatic rupture of venous vessels that cross the subdural space, therefore a separation takes place between the layers of the arachnoid and the duramater. The objective was to determine the type of subdural hematoma in alcoholic patients. An observational cross-sectional descriptive study was carried out in the General University Provincial Hospital Carlos Manuel de Céspedes, in the period from December 2017 to September 2018. The population studied 13 alcoholic patients who met the criteria of inclusion. The group of 40 to 50 years with seven patients predominated; 53, 84% of those studied had acute subdural hematoma, and the most affected side of the brain was the left which represents the 46, 15%. It is concluded that the acute subdural hematoma, with involvement of the left side of the brain, is more frequent in alcoholic patients.

We describe a clinical case of a 12-year-old male adolescent, with a history of apparent physical health and without previous mental disorder, who attended a consultation of the Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist of the Rene Vallejo Ortiz Polyclinic through selective mutism. The psychometric tests show: average intelligence coefficient according to Weill of intelligence, Bender non-organicity; projective technique of the tree, the house and the person (HTP) projecting anxiety, little socialization, shyness, impulsiveness, aggressiveness; Inventory of juvenile problems (IPJ) alterations of the personal sphere. Rotter conflicts in the personal and social sphere. Depression test annotation 27 for moderate depression- anxiety test marked anxiety. In the treatment, behavioral therapies were combined (including desensitization, extinction and positive reinforcement techniques), cognitive-behavioral therapies, play therapy, family therapies and the use of psychotropic drugs.  

According to the most recent perspectives on the foreign policy of the Arab States, this article argues that certain intriguing features of Qatar's foreign relations since the mid-1990s are proof of the influence of the Arab public sphere in decision-making by this State, as they demonstrate the attempts of the Qatari leadership to position itself in that public sphere through initiatives that hold great symbolic value. Based on an analysis of media reports and interviews with the principal leaders of Qatar by internationally recognized media outlets, this research makes a contribution to the debates on diplomacy in the Middle East and expands the Spanish-language bibliography on a State whose importance has increased considerably in the first two decades of the current century.

In 1772, Archbishop Lorenzana approved a new distribution of the parishes of Mexico City, which was captured in José Antonio de Alzate’s “Plan of Ymperial Mexico.” Since 1767, Alzate had been preparing different cartographic models in which he both contested and reflected the fabric of the city, its neighborhoods and its inhabitants. Nevertheless, the definitive version of the plan did not respect Alzate’s original project, signed 1769 and approved by Charles III. This design was the result of a hasty negotiation, rife with territorial and jurisdictional tensions, between the prelate and the city’s priests. Through an analysis of planimetric materials, both those that are strictly visual as well as those that are described in narrative sources, this article addresses the “cartographic process” in which the reform of Mexico City’s religious demarcations occurred. The parochial reform is studied from a spatial perspective, focused on successive phases of reorganization, cartographic studies and the impact of the Enlightenment on the image of the city. In particular, it emphasizes the coexistence of Enlightenment ideas with baroque conceptions that supplied an allegorical dimension to the city’s meaning, conceptualizing it as New Jerusalem.

This article examines the political history of indigenous conversions to Christianity after the Conquest. Using archival sources, indigenous annals and the communications of mendicant friars, it offers a review of the spiritual interpretations of the historiography of the first decades of missionary work in Mexico, arguing that the mass conversions seen in those years were due to a complex combination of political opportunism, iconoclastic violence and the search by indigenous leaders for protection from colonial violence. Due to the setbacks and power vacuums that followed the Spanish Conquest and the smallpox epidemic, the indigenous nobles of the altepetls of central Mexico formed alliances at the local level with mendicant friars in order to legitimize their authority and strengthen their territorial ambitions. At the same time, these friars launched a spiritual war using the children of these noblemen. The friars and their native acolytes unleashed a wave of violent acts that ended the political power of the indigenous religious elite. Despite this religious strife, mendicant missions also represented a means of reducing colonial violence. The friars offered to protect indigenous communities from the brutality, exploitation and slavery of Spanish colonists. By the 1530s, mass conversions were a result of a consensus among indigenous peoples that these missions would be the most effective way of protecting their lives, properties and communities. Through baptismal waters, indigenous communities began to reconstruct the Mesoamerican world.

In the decades that followed the Mexican Revolution, the ideal of the loving, protecting mother was politicized, feeding the expansion of institutional and discursive efforts aimed at strengthening the mother-son pair. Authorities and specialists were concerned with ensuring the success of the maternal “mandate.” In practice, there were women who had no desire to become mothers, others who suffered from their inability to become mothers, as well as single mothers and mothers who worked long hours and were unable to spend sufficient time on raising their children. Many mothers were also violent towards their children, and, in extreme cases, there were those who found crime to be a solution to maternity-related conflicts. Through an analysis of criminal conflict, this article aims to understand the varied ways in which Mexico City women from different social sectors experienced maternity, as well as the sociocultural context in which actions connected to procreation acquired meaning. The texts analyzed include criminal records on abortion, infanticide, child abandonment and kidnapping, as well as yellow journalism and contemporary articles by specialists.

The primary objective of this article is to study how baseball was organized, promoted and developed with the leadership and support of an athletic association in the years between 1920 and 1930. Athletic institutions are spaces that construct power relationships, and so this article will analyze the developments, strategies and actions that founded the sporting organizations controlling the athletics and finances of Mexico City baseball.

The magazine Política: Quince días de México y del Mundo (1960-1967) grouped together several leftist currents with an important group of revolutionary nationalists who were close to Cárdenas. Together they supported causes such as the Cuban Revolution, Third Worldism and the struggle against imperialism, giving rise to the error that there were no fundamental differences between their positions. This article argues that the intellectuals who participated in Política created ephemeral alliances, seeking to come to agreement on issues that were difficult to reconcile. While the magazine was clear on denouncing the lack of democracy in Mexico through an innovative critique of the Mexican Revolution, it maintained very orthodox – sometimes even backwards – positions on some of the most important events of the Cold War period. In the style of revolutionary nationalism, the magazine’s contributors also vindicated the figure of an abstract “people” fused with the state as an axis of revolutionary legitimacy. The magazine maintained an acritical position regarding communist orthodoxy and ignored countercultural developments. Due to these factors, the article argues that Política did not constitute a current of the New Left, which would not make its appearance in Mexico until the arrival of a younger generation of the left in the 1970s and 80s.
