A great similarity between the way of constructing and validating knowledge between the periods of the High Middle Ages and the present time is proposed, based on a critical analysis of the way in which the mass media and public opinion act on knowledge academic and scientific thoughts. The analysis considers four elements: post-truth as a current concept, the media consequences it entails, the comparison with medieval thought and the prospective analysis of our media reality. As a result, it is concluded that a concept initially applied to US politics in 2010 has become a bastion of ideas and nonsense that have become an ironically similar behavior, between the two historically dissimilar periods.

This article presents a comparative approach to the conception of science & technology in the Chinese and Mexican public service and its applications in the design and management of scientific policies. The data were obtained through interviews to submit them to the technique of semantic networks. The data analysis shows that Chinese personnel privilege behaviors linked to the semantic field of cognitive attachment. In contrast, Mexican personnel weigh, in first place, the field of individual profile. The role of ex post training in both government structures is the aspect that promotes these differences between public servants and the impacts on the configuration of the policies they carry out.

This essay reviews and analyzes the current information on the different antipredatory strategies and their implications in mammalian species, through the analysis, interpretation and integration of existing literature on the subject, to understand their function as a selective pressure that has promoted evolutionary changes in predator-prey interaction; specifically surveillance strategies, freezing and tonic immobility, escape strategies and different confrontation structures, in addition to changes in anti-predatory strategies as a consequence of human presence. It was concluded that mammals show intraspecific anti-predatory variation in different settings, making it difficult to quantify behavioral responses under laboratory and field conditions. In the future we must study how multiple factors interact with each other.

In this paper we examine the relationship between the family structure of women academics of a public university in Mexico, in determining both the home ownership and the perception of comfort of the house rooms. We use the exact logistic regression model to describe the relationship between the variables. The data was collected using an online survey. The results show that the home ownership is achieved with independence of the family structure. Instead, the family structure explains the perception of comfort of the house rooms.

The objective of this review article was to disclose the presence of brominated flame retardants in Mexico and to propose a prospecting analysis. Through a bibliographic review of 16 scientific research articles, the presence of these compounds in coasts, soils, landfills, coastal lagoons and effluents from wastewater treatment plants has been reported; in the eggs of the aplomado falcon and in the skin of the whale shark. It has also been found in the blood of Mexicans living in some states of the country. The presence of these contaminants in other Mexican environments and their effects on their biota are unknown. More studies are required to expand knowledge on this topic.

At the end of 2021, I participated in the Cracks and Provocations for Education in the Arts Congress, organized by the International Society for Education Through Art INSEA, thanks to an invitation from the Peruvian artist and educator Mario Mogrovejo. The theme that I proposed inquired about the possibility of creating decolonial knowledge from the arts, where the research-creation debate is installed, with its achievements and difficulties, and where the practices and policies of scientific research intersect. with internal debates in the field of arts. As almost always happens, at the end of each presentation, important questions are raised based on the ideas that one ventures in his speech.

In “Eclipse of the spectacle” (1984), Johann Crary writes about the problem of television’s metamorphosis within cultural, economic, and geopolitical design. He proposes that the representative system withdraws in the face of the distribution and control network of technological capitalism. The scopic regime, therefore, becomes an exercise or a surface of power. In this sense, technological processes are understood as a determined and historical aesthetic regime, that is, a production of aisthesis. In this way, Crary questions production in capitalism through an exam of the modes of production of perception. In Techniques of the Observer (1990), Suspensions of Perception (2001) and 24/7 (2013), Crary radicalizes the withdrawal of contemplative observation before the production of sensitivity. Following this reading key, this essay proposes that Crary’s critique remains under the taxonomic form “living body/disciplinary apparatus”

Latin American cities tend to become places of conflict due to the rapid urbanization they are going through. The municipal government of San Pedro Garza García, Nuevo León, Mexico, through the Directorate of Art and Cultural Heritage, has used public art as a way to combat the disconnection of communities resulting from urbanization and raise the quality of life of its residents. This study aims to identify how the population of the municipality perceives art found in the public space and how it impacts them on their quality of life. It was carried out using a mixed methodology that gathered the opinions of key actors involved in the Galería abierta project, as well as those of the residents of the municipality, revealing that art in the public space does influence quality of life and should become a priority on the government agenda
