The objective of this study was to compare the frequency of cyberbullying, the type of responses to it, as well as knowledge and self-efficacy in the use of social networks in young people from Mexico City and the State of Mexico. The sample comprised 1673 students of both sexes between 14 and 20 years old (862 participants from Mexico City and 811 from the State of Mexico). We performed descriptive analyses and X2 tests. The results showed a significant difference between the frequency of cyberbullying and the level of young people's knowledge. The latter variable was higher in Mexico City than in the State of Mexico. However, participants from the State of Mexico scored higher than those from Mexico City in the way they respond to cyberbullying (assertive and empathetic) and in self-efficacy. More research on this issue is needed given the scarcity of statistics and information on this topic in Mexico. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The species of the Agave genus have been the object of multiple uses throughout history. The present work documented the current uses and vocabulary of the maguey pulquero at Rancho San Isidro, Nanacamilpa, Tlaxcala, Mexico. This information was collected through semi-structured ethnobotanical interviews. The use value of the different ethnotaxa of Agave salmiana mentioned in the interviews was estimated, as well as the level of fidelity (NF). This study at Rancho Isidro revealed the important contemporary use category of maguey is that of comestible and the important stages of the maguey's biological cycle for the interviewees are those between the excision of the terminal bud and senescence. The "aguamiel" extraction practices and vocabulary associated with maguey are similar to those reported historically in different areas of central Mexico. Traditional knowledge continues in force through generations and represents an important cultural value, which must be documented in order to innovate new uses related to the "maguey pulquero".

Una de las fases de la investigación doctoral "Diseño e implementación de una estrategia B-learning como apoyo a la formación inicial de estudiantes de medicina: la resolución de problemas como estrategia para el aprendizaje efectivo de la bioquímica", es la diagnóstica, ésta cuenta con diferentes preguntas, una de ellas es: ¿Cuáles son las necesidades formativas en bioquímica desde otros espacios académicos en el proceso de fundamentación médica?. Para abodarla se elaboró una entrevista semiestructurada para determinar la percepción de un grupo específico de docentes relacionados con la cátedra, los resultados se analizan con el software IRAMUTEQ realizando lexicometría. Los resultados fortalecieron el diagnóstico para el posterior diseño de una estrategia B-learning centrada en el modelo de resolución de problemas para la enseña de la Bioquímica.

This study was aimed at identifying factors involved in the academic performance of children of Mexican immigrants living in New York. Data from 142 parent-student dyads were collected. The sample consisted of immigrant parents and children born in the US. Results show that a higher perception of English language proficiency among children and their parents, reading and writing training by parents, and the absence of learning problems among the children predicted on the whole higher levels of academic performance. Additionally, a higher student exposure to US culture, a higher perception of English language proficiency by the child, reading and writing training by parents, bilingual training of children, and the absence of learning problems among children and the parents predict a higher likelihood of children to belong to the higher academic performance group. Implications of these results are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article discusses the Latin works of 16th century Hebraist Paulus Ricius and their influence on Christian Kabbalistic writings of the period. A catalog of Latin works by Ricius is presented which includes "De sexcentum et tredecim mosaice sanctionis edictis," "Apologetica ad Eckiana responsa narratio" and "De celesti Agricola." The author also cites the 16th century Christian interest in Cabalistic mysteries and notes Ricius' interest in the speculative philosophy of Giovanni Pico della Mirandola.

During the last decades, brand management has increased to become a topic of compulsory discussion among local and national governments, as well as among private and public organizations. This new aspect of management is of great importance, since if well planned, it may reveal important achievements in the competitiveness and image of cities and countries. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to approach the concept of integral branding from the perspective of a communication management system comprising three sub-systems: management environment, brand structuring, and link construction.
