Agroecological and artisanal produce markets have multiplied as part of a broader process that promotes food citizenship oriented towards justice and sustainability. However, this phenomenon is immersed in the complexity of food systems and entails great heterogeneity. This article analyzes the relationship between these types of initiatives and the gentrification processes in some of the areas where they are established. The topic is approached from ethnographic material collected in the framework of a research project on agroecological production initiatives and artisanal transformation in Mexico City and on the citizens’ collectives that facilitate the commercialization of this production. The findings show that in certain areas of the city these markets shape a broader set of “alternative” food supply networks linked to gentrification processes and the findings identify some of the factors that affect the reproduction of social inequalities within the framework of these initiatives. At the same time, the study underscores the agency of the actors involved and documents their abilities to use these spaces through the growing demand for fresh, healthy, and locally-sourced food to advance their own ends in areas subject to gentrification.

This article explores the life and work of Jeremiah Noah Morris (1910-2009), a pioneer in social epidemiology. Morris advocated for a social interpretation of health and disease, emphasizing the impact of social inequalities on morbidity and mortality. His work, Uses of epidemiology, promoted the study of chronic diseases from a population-based perspective. He contributed to the development of the Black report in 1980, which highlighted health inequalities in the United Kingdom, and to the concept of a "minimum income for a healthy life." His research linked physical activity to the prevention of coronary diseases, and he championed the role of community physicians in public health care. Morris saw epidemiology as a historical science oriented towards solving practical problems, and in doing so he showed an openness to other knowledge, including researchers from different disciplines, which allowed him to approach the complexity of social problems. This article reviews his contributions and key debates, addressing the relevance of his ideas in today's context and the apparent neglect of his legacy in modern epidemiology. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective: To identify the presence of social inequalities in road traffic injury mortality in Argentinian jurisdictions according to their socioeconomic development level. Methodology: An ecological study with a jurisdictional level of aggregation was conducted for the years 2005, 2011, and 2016. Inequality between jurisdictions was estimated using the concentration index and the concentration curve. The human development index by jurisdiction and its components were separately used as a socioeconomic variable for ranking. Results: The concentration index showed a negative value in all three years (-0.032 in 2005, -0.094 in 2011, and -0.065 in 2016), suggesting that there is a higher concentration of road traffic injury mortality in jurisdictions with lower human development index, although the values show a decreasing trend in these social inequalities between 2011 and 2016. The income indicator is the factor that explains this concentration to the greatest extent. Conclusion: There are social inequalities in road traffic injury mortality in Argentinian jurisdictions according to their socioeconomic development level, which are mainly explained by the income level. Road traffic injury prevention policies should consider the socio-economic conditions of the population. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The approach of this article is focused through a historical, social, criminological and criminal perspective on the resistance to investigate, the right to truth and the forensic crisis that is faced both in the investigations and in the processes of femicide cases in Mexico. The foregoing taking three Mexican cases as central axes, two of them iconic cases that have led to a transformation on creating laws that are applicable to the fight against gender violence in conjunction with a crime description that promptly collects the gender reasons that they are the cause of this crime; referring in this way to Gonzalez and others vs. Mexico or better known as Campo algodonero, which reached the Inter-American Court of Human Rights opening the way in the treatment of violence against women, with its emblematic and historic sentence. Secondly, we have the case of Mariana Lima Buendía, whose sentence -in Amparo en Revisión- issued by the Supreme Court of Justice of Mexico, establishes that every violent death of a woman must be investigated as a femicide, changing the way in which how criminal investigations involving the deaths of women should be initiated; weighing the gender perspective, due diligence and good practices. The third case shows us how the forensic crisis that Mexico is currently facing directly permeates the investigations of cases of violent deaths of women. This last case is about Debhani Escobar, being the most recent that has convulsed the Mexican society due to the countless inconsistencies in the investigation of her disappearance and death. This is how femicide in Mexico faces great challenges in terms of adapting the instruments and legal framework to not only focus on punishment but also include a vision of forensic and procedural reform that includes public policies for prevention and comprehensive reparations for the victims, as well as a true commitment to the non-repetition of criminal acts against women for reasons of gender.

Sustainable development, together with the objectives set by the United Nations Organization (2015-2030), seek, among other things, for human communities to be safe, resilient, sustained and sustainable. The SDG11, specifically, commits to joint work, to overcome social inequalities, to provide access to housing, to carry out urban management; that is to say, it points out the importance of the city as an axis of social growth. However, the asymmetric context of the region leads to segregation, to unfinished agendas that do not end up addressing the structural problems that condition development within the city. By virtue of the above, the article analyzes the importance of SDG11 and its possible implementation in the Latin American social context, characterized by overpopulation, violence, crime, corruption, insecurity, construction of cities in risky places, among other additional factors. With these pages it is not intended to reach definitive positions, but rather to broaden the discussion that revolves around this unresolved issue in regional spaces. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper studies the perceptions about university access, sense of effort, meritocracy, and social inequalities of students from 8 elite Chilean higher education institutions. Using 1773 responses to a questionnaire that was applied to a stratified sample of students from these universities, regression models that control for differences between socioeconomic groups, types of university and time of stay are estimated. The results show that the type of university is the main axis of differentiation in these perceptions, with traditional university students being more skeptical of meritocracy and individualistic explanations than their peers from emerging private universities. Furthermore, there is a relative homogeneity within each type of university, except in those items related to university entrance. It is concluded that the different types of elite institutions are a relevant distinction for understanding the diversity of perceptions that exist among those who transit through these highly influence spaces at the national level.

Mexico has a sizeable indigenous population, most of whom, although not a homogeneous group, are part of the poorest, most discriminated against, disadvantaged strata of society whose living conditions are below the national and regional average. The authors of this article use information from the Viral Respiratory Diseases Epidemiological Surveillance System to analyze the sociodemographic and health factors associated with the Covid-19-related deaths, looking particularly at this sector of the population. Using a logistical regression model, they identify the factors associated with structural inequalities found among the most significant predictors of death from Covid-19 in the country, showing up the vulnerability of those sectors of the population especially marginalized in the face of the pandemic.

This article analyzes how young men and women who work in the popular economy (sales and services) in Mexico City's subway system manage their time to be able to deal with job, family, and educational responsibilities. The author used a qualitative methodology to do twenty-one interviews with people between the ages of fifteen and twenty-nine. She found that these young people work in the popular (informal) economy because it is one of the few job options on offer, whether it be to start out in their working life, because it provides the flexibility they need to combine it with other responsibilities, or because they have disadvantages such as high poverty levels, less schooling, or small networking.

The purpose of this article is to talk about the incidence of both sociological and economic factors and those that are criminological, regarding the genesis and development of Mexican female criminality; It also seeks to analyze vulnerable groups which, into intersectional sphere, are into certain circumstances due to their age, gender, physical or mental state, where those derived for socioeconomic, cultural and ethnic reasons are added. For such purposes, the groups that include people in vulnerability have been reviewed, including women; and how this has cultural and structural bases that keep them in a position of marginalization and inequality respecting to male gender, which in a hegemonic way has controlled and symbolizes the socioeconomic strength of the nation. As a result, with this deeply ingrained panorama, it is not surprising to observe that in criminal activities women maintain a trained line from which they do not deviate in relation to gender stereotypes, since they remain within their designated roles as they do in women legal activities. As conclusions we can see how it is that a social structure closely linked to living in conditions of poverty, with social exclusion, in a constant struggle within spheres of marginalization, with discrimination due to classism, racism and sexism, positions women at a total disadvantage; and how all this intersects intersectionally to arrive to reasons of participation in the conflict with criminal law.

Objective: the aim of this paper is to test a sociology of welfare; that is, two analytical tools are argued to gain an understanding of the sociological content of welfare: 1) the identification of the forms of social precariousness existing in Mexico; 2) the idea of the continuum of inequality of violence and its visibility. Methodology: in defending their theory, the authors use analytical and qualitative sociology as a methodological perspective, where classical concepts of sociology function as reflexive tools to promote the elaboration of a qualitative, critical and normative thinking around the forms of precariousness and their opposite, welfare. Results: presented in two sections: 1) The emergence of violence as a structure for the precariousness of life, a section that reflects on the increase in the forms of violence and their importance when addressing the issue of well-being; 2) Analysis of the forms of social precariousness, which proposes a matrix of the main forms of precariousness that actually exist in Mexico, where the elements of the continuum of inequality of violence are identified. Conclusions: it is proposed that a qualitative sociological knowledge of social precariousness and violence, of the forms and dynamics of social action is necessary to understand the substantive meaning of welfare; useful knowledge to guide public actions in favor of welfare in democratic societies, especially to test innovation in the design of social policies.

The trust in social interactions and democratic institutions in Latin America is weakened by the persistence of privileges concentrated in a few hands that perpetuate class gaps in access to assets, cultural and social capital, appropriation of natural resources, special influence in institutions, and low fiscal commitment, among others. Such gaps are reproduced through generations and rooted in a culture of privileges that has naturalized these asymmetries, and today is strongly contested by growing awareness regarding social rights, mainly expressed in access to social benefits, working and employment conditions, acceptable levels of welfare, and political voice. Such rights are far from being achieved, with a persistent gap between the de jure and de facto. Fiscal efforts and more proactive social policies have to face such a culture of privileges that perpetuate inequalities nurtured by class inbreeding and social networks. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Since the beginning of humanity, sexuality and reproduction have been subjects of scientific and philosophical reflection, given the considerable impact they have on the development of human societies. For this reason, the issue of the use of emergency oral contraceptives is seen as a social problem that requires attention in Latin America, a place where various social asymmetries are present, such as: poverty, excessive population growth, violence, migration, unwanted pregnancies, among other factors that exacerbate the crisis in the regional context. In this vein, the article explores the ethical and philosophical dimension of the use of emergency oral contraceptives, pointing out the importance of its historical evolution, making it scientific, and the various ethical conflicts that researchers had to face in order to reach the methods known today. However, it does not lose sight of the existing difficulties on the subject - the population's ignorance, taboos and the culture of disinformation - constituting an additional challenge to this problem. The article does not pretend to arrive at a definitive position on the subject; on the contrary, it aspires to be a space for reflection and meeting between scientific-technical knowledge and theoreticalhumanist.

The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that one in 20 deaths worldwide is attributable to diabetes. Chronic diseases are the main causes of disability and dependence in the medium and long term. This study aims to identify the scientific evidence on factors influencing adherence to treatment, care and self-care in people with type 2 diabetes mellitus. It is a qualitative documentary research from a hermeneutic methodological approach. Fifty-two relevant documents in Spanish and English were considered for this study. Chronic diseases and type 2 diabetes mellitus were considered as categories for analysis, with five dimensions: adherence to treatment, care and selfcare, social inequalities and inequity, psychosocial factors and social vulnerability. Through the study and documentary analysis it has been found that adherence to treatment, care and self-care are influenced by multiple factors: individual, family, socioeconomic, environmental, ..., gratly hinder the control of chronic diseases. Despite this evidence, it is necessary to initiate new research from the approach of social vulnerability, which would help to look after people according to their social reality. This research gap allows the author to initiate the elaboration and scientific validation of a self-administered questionnaire which measures individual social vulnerability in people with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Cities today are going through a process that deepens socio-territorial inequalities based on the advance of the spatial materialization of financial capitals and the appropriation of urban territories as a profitability strategy. However, diverse social groups dispute the spaces that this capital captures through collective strategies of resistance and by raising awareness, highlighting the dimension of "the common", giving the exercise of the collective, the collaborative and/or community-based senses. This article aims at analyzing and interpreting the resistance of the residents who have socially produced their territories from the common in the face of expulsion strategies derived from speculative real estate processes, within the framework of the particularities assumed by this dispossession process in the metropolitan region of Córdoba (Argentina). In particular, we present the analysis of the Barrio Parque Esperanza case, which when faced with a process of judicial eviction from its neighborhood in 2018, has stood its ground for 14 months in a process of collective resistance and negotiation with the provincial state towards making the right to land and housing effective. The epistemological approach recovers the idea of the dialogue of knowledge proposed by the southern and decolonial epistemologies, since it seeks to recover the experiences from the perspective of the players in their own territories, looking to contribute with knowledge to demonstrate a specific social reality situation characterized by processes of fragility and, at the same time, with potential to boost the production of the habitat from the common.

Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a disease with high impact on both the morbidity and mortality worldwide. It affects social groups and individuals with differing social conditions and hierarchies. This work aims to identify the evidence of the relationships between social inequalities regarding the disease process, treatment and health care for type 2 diabetes mellitus. To do so, a comprehensive review of the literature was conducted among indexed journals published during 2016-2018. In general, the results showed that the social inequalities mostly due to the ethnic/race and socioeconomic reasons have effects on the incidence and treatment of type 2 diabetes. On the other hand, regarding the gender there is a variable behavior between men and women. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective: to identify social inequalities in the distribution of obesity in the Colombian adult population. Materials and methods: the secondary analysis of the 2010 National Nutrition Situation Survey is performed in adults of both sexes between 18 and 64 years of age, with a total of 11,621 analyzed records. To measure inequalities, we used absolute differences, Lorenz curve and Gini coefficient. Results: patients between 40 and 64 years of age (OR1, 807, CI 1.637 - 1.998) were more likely to be obese and without higher education (OR 1,196, CI 1,036-1,382). Women were more likely to be obese than men (OR 1.24, CI 1.122-1.37). The analysis of the prevalence of obesity by Colombian departments according to the proportion of inhabitants with Unsatisfied Basic Needs (NBI) reported variations from 11.7% in Vaupés to 26.6% in San Andrés. Conclusions: socioeconomic status affects the distribution of obesity; Women are women in greater proportion due to obesity, with an excess risk of 1.8%, there is a minimal inequality in the distribution of prevalence of obesity in Colombia (CG: 0.0004).

Has the Euro been positive for citizens? Its first ten years were successful, then everything got mixed up with the financial crisis. Some believe the Euro was to blame for the Great Recession of2008. However, many weaknesses of the Eurozone came to the surface outside of this time. Others emphasised the severity of the crisis, the lack of economic policy instruments and their excessive austerity measures. The new single currency contributed to low inflation rates, the low price of both money and credit and reduced currency transaction costs. Among the disadvantages generated by the questionable economic policy are the worsening of the crisis, social inequality and the financial divide between the North and South. Some of these consequences-not those of a social nature-have been alleviated since the beginning of the recovery period. The crisis was used to equip the Economic Union with the performance mechanisms it was lacking. The current "European Spring" should boost the remainder. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this research the spatial accessibility of ambulances to the urgency centers in the city of Manizales, Colombia, is analyzed. An example of the social inequalities present in Latin-American countries is seen in the health services, where the objective is looking for the good health and life of all people in a city. However, spatial distribution and access to different sectors of a city by the ambulances is not equal. Hence, for some communities ambulances must travel longer distances, being this of especial importance in life-threatening emergencies that must be solved in a very short time. The work shows that the low-income sectors of the city of Manizales have the worse conditions of accessibility from the ambulance dispatch centers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper has the goal of analyse the institutional manners and meanings of the Mexican Welfare Institutional Structure to think about the production of welfare and social change skills. An analytic approach is showed in which the system is analysed referred to four political-structural dimensions; furthermore it is also analysed through three theoretical and normative models. This works concludes that Mexican Welfare Institutional Structure has two main problems: is not sufficient to attend the social environment and violent forms of inequality that persist, the system also has intrademocratic issues. This last concept is based the idea of democracy as institutional system which guarantees full citizenship rights, in this respect is revisits the work around the concept of democracy of Guillermo O'Donnell.

The paper addresses vulnerability to Global Environmental Change of rural producers of Mendoza River basin, in Argentina. Vulnerability is a complex phenomenon that is generated at the intersection of environmental, social and economic dimensions. From a qualitative study based on in-depth interviews with producers of the study area, the paper explain the processes affecting actors (exposures / sensitivities) and the practices (adaptations) they develop to address these phenomena. The main idea is that hydroclimatological events act on a number of previous, long-term vulnerabilities defined by access to resources. Also it shows that resources are critical to the development of adaptive capacities, but finds that "availability of resources" and "capacity building" are not phenomena always related by a linear and direct causality. That is, sometimes the mere existence of resources is not enough to foster adaptive capacities. Noting some capacities gaps, the article identifies critical factors that could improve rural actors' capacities and could strengthen them to cope with future global climate events and other factors that affect their living conditions.

Some of the conceptual elements through which professor José María Bengoa Lecanda (1913-2010) approached the complexity of factors associated with hunger are analysed. Specifically, his reflections on the interrelation between undernourishment, disease and poverty are studied, as well as his proposals to break said circle. From the assumptions of social medicine, doctor Bengoa articulates a discourse where social inequalities appear as one of the key factors to explain the social and health differences between regions, populations and individuals. Social change, with education as the main argument, and the improvement of life conditions for the population, were claimed by doctor Bengoa as the most appropriate strategies to address malnutrition in any of its forms.
