Research paper thumbnail of Bolivian Indigenous Film and the Aesthetics of the Precarious

The National Plan of Indigenous Communication in Bolivia, one of the most notable experiences of ... more The National Plan of Indigenous Communication in Bolivia, one of the most notable experiences of indigenous media in Latin America, is acknowledged by its nationwide presence since the late 1990s, its continuous collaboration with national indigenous and peasant unions, and its prolific production. The Plan Nacional is also known for its film production and distribution strategies which often destabilize conventional dynamics, for example, by addressing film directors as “responsables” and not as “filmmakers,” by stressing collaborative production with community and organization members, and by establishing alternative distribution circuits. Based on ethnographic and film analysis, this essay explores the concept of precarious as related to two aspects that characterize Plan Nacional’s work. The chapter discusses first how this initiative has embraced the need to produce low-budget films as a political aesthetic statement. And second, it analyzes how the Plan Nacional’s production d...

The international tourism is an important factor in the scale of payments of several nations. The increasing competitiveness of a tourist sector that day after day is consolidated as one of the principal revitalizing ones of the global economy, generates in the companies of the sector, the need to improve the satisfaction of the client and of all the interested parts of the organization.

Including in diet additionally ingest of polyphenolic compounds can stimulate PON1 transcription and increase its activity. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of dietary intake, red wine consumption, and PON1 genotypes (Q192R, L55M and C-108T) on the specific activity of PON1 in a healthy population. A descriptive and analytical pilot study was conducted in Mexican volunteers clinically healthy (n = 45) aged from 21–59 years. Over 6 weeks, the study participants ingested 120 mL of red wine per day. PON1 concentration, PON1 activities, genetic polymorphisms and dietary intake were evaluated. The preliminary fingerprinting of the wine was determined to corroborate the presence of phenolic compounds such as tannins and gallotannins. Neither dietary intake nor PON1 genotypes showed an effect on the specific activity of PON1. However, a significant increase in specific AREase activity after red wine consumption period...

Para ello retomaré algunas de las reflexiones que se han comentado alrededor de la abundante iconografía sobre las mujeres indígenas del istmo de Tehuantepec, y trataré de situarlas en relación con las autorrepresentaciones indígenas actuales.

Research paper thumbnail of Chrysin Induces Antidiabetic, Antidyslipidemic and Anti-Inflammatory Effects in Athymic Nude Diabetic Mice

In this context, chrysin (5,7-dihydroxyflavone) is a natural product that occurs in a variety of flowers and fruits with anti-inflammatory and antidiabetic effects, among others. Thus, a diabetic model in athymic nude mice was developed and used to establish the ability of chrysin to decrease the secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines. Also, it was determined the acute (50 mg/kg) and sub-acute (50 mg/kg/day/10 days) antidiabetic and antihyperlipidemic activities after the period of time treatment. Results indicate that chrysin has significant acute antihyperglycemic and antidiabetic effects in nude diabetic mice (p < 0.05). Moreover, triglyceride blood levels were reduced and IL-1β and TNF-α were diminished after 10 days' treatment compared with control group (p < 0.05). In conclusion, it was found that chrysin cou...
