Is the Weather Changing or Are We Changing It?
The changes in weather no longer answer to natural causes, as have been the variations the Earth’s orbita round the Sun, the fluctuations in solar activity, or the volcanic eruptions, but rather due to the environmental impact that human beings have caused to mother nature, due to the development and preferences of life that we maintain, such as wasteful consumption, the way we handle our nutrition, and the amount of solid residues that we produce, among other activities.

Ricardo Castro (1864-1907). Documentation and Analysis of his Musical Works. Complete Works. Volume III. Other Works. While it is true that most of Castro’s production centers around piano solo music, his musical catalogue is diversified with chamber music, concerts, symphony works, vocal music, and lyric theater. In the genre of chamber music, he has left us works for violin and piano as well as a youthful quartet for strings. On the other hand, his concerts for piano and for cello, as well as his first symphony, and the symphonic poem called Oithona, are the first works in their genre that were written by a Mexican Composer. Music for voice and piano are identified by way of the French Mélodie and is a notable group of exquisite vocal miniatures. Two operatic tittles close the catalogue: Atzimba and La Légende de Rudel. The first title, inserts into the Mexican current and the second one, adheres to the international aesthetic cannon, which once again reveals the author’s cosmopolitan spirit. Each of the works was the object of documentary research and musical analysis with the objective of reconstructing fundamental aspects such as the creative process, context, release, and reception, also defining their musical characteristics. Thus, this is a contribution to the deep knowledge of Mexican Concert Music of the 19th Century. This Opera Omnia is made up of three volumes, the first two dedicated to his music for solo piano, and the third one dedicated to his chamber, concert, symphonic, vocal, and operatic production.

This book collects the voices of eight female scientists from Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, and Spain, who share, from their personal experiences and reflections, how their interest in science originated, the challenges they have faced and the achievements they have accomplished along their professional careers. Their stories reflect not only a deep commitment to knowledge, but also their perseverance upon facing structural obstacles that continue to limit the access to the scientific realm to women. Within these stories that are told by their protagonists, actively and in control, is the motor of change for being able to enjoy science. Through their stories, we come to understand that the right of becoming a scientist is not only a matter of equity and justice: it is the key to moving forward in our societies and in our collective well-being. It’s and invitation to imagine new futures, to be inspired by those who are already opening the path and join the construction of the diverse and inclusive scientific endeavor. The right to be female scientists. This collection of essays was thought of for you, who perhaps is discovering what you’re passionate about, who asks If you too could form part of that universe that is called science. The answer is not written in only one story, but rather in all these voices that, upon uniting, invite you to find yours, because the future is also built with women in science.

Topics of Limnological Research in Mexico
This book takes a significant step in showcasing the relevance of limnology to our survival. Freshwater habitats, though they cover less than 1 % of the Earth’s surface, are home to a substantial portion of the world’s biodiversity—at least 10 % of all known species. Freshwater habitats and the biodiversity they support are under threat. Moreover, our survival depends on access to high-quality freshwater. This book not only highlights the beauty of limnology and the scientific methods used to study it, but it also draws attention to the major causes of biodiversity loss in freshwater ecosystems. It shows all readers what it means to deal with inland waters as a scientist interested in understanding ecosystems and protecting them.

Tropical Shrub and Arboreal Resources for Sustainable Cattle Breeding
The information presented in this book is a product of collective work of scholars that responded to the leadership of the Network for Research and Technological Innovation for Tropical Cattle Breeding: REDGATRO (Red de Investigación e Innovación Tecnológica para la Ganadería Bovina Tropical), elaborating files on arboreal resources with cattle breeding purposes. In this sense, REGADTRO complies with contributions in research, innovation, dissemination, training, and promotion of scientific knowledge for tropical cattle breeding, as well as activities to benefit producers, students, technicians, specialists, and authorities in the field. This collective work counted on the participation of 26 authors from 18 institutions and 10 states in both humid and dry tropics, as well as the collaboration of three authors from foreign institutions. It compiles the information from 23 arboreal species files, in which botanical, biological, ecosystemic service, forage quality aspects, and uses are considered. Some files are on well-known species, others are less studied and in such cases, they emphasize biodiversity applied to tropical cattle breeding production.

Introducción a la epidemiología clínica y estadística
La demanda de modelos curriculares flexibles ha aumentado exponencialmente en la educación superior en México, al igual que la actualización de los planes de estudios, integrando los enfoques basados en competencias y las metodologías centradas en el aprendizaje. Tampoco podemos olvidar que se han integrado las tecnologías de la información y la comunicación (TIC) a cada uno de los niveles de la educación, así como una integración de la dimensión internacional, que implica a su vez la implementación de un sistema de créditos que permita a los estudios tener una validez en cualquier institución dentro y fuera de nuestras fronteras. Estos retos son lo que actualmente enfrenta cada plantel educativo que se precie de brindar un servicio de calidad con responsabilidad social.

Facing the scarcity of works that focus on female philosophers from a Latin American viewpoint, this book intends to contribute with new ways of comprehending the history and meaning of Philosophy. This idea came about from a research seminar which was dealt with philosophical studies of the 20th century and part of the 21st, some which were Mexican. According to the collaborative spirit which made this work possible, both male and female readers, who wanted to learn the reasons exposed by female philosophers, were invited to follow the path laid out by the trail of Antigone and, along with her, those set by the diverse female thinkers that light up alternatives of knowledge, justice, sustainability, beauty, and comprehension in order to give our world new meaning.

Doctor Honoris Causa Irene Vallejo Moreu
Irene Vallejo is more than just a writer. She is an explorer of lost worlds, a guide that takes us by the hand through paths of wisdom. Her words inspire us to read, to think, to dream. In El infinito en un junco, her most famous work, distinguished as the most important Spanish book of this quarter of a century, it invites us to wander the history of writing, from the Sumerian clay tablets, all the way to digital texts. Irene’s works are recognized on an international level and she has been worthy of numerous prizes. The honorary doctorate that is granted by the University of Colima is a revindication of the right to education, culture, and reading, to books, and imagination; a commitment of those who are present and those who will continue believing in the power of education and the transformative power of universities. Irene certifies a conviction that we encourage at the University of Colima from its origin: “education is the fairest social elevator that we have ever dreamed of.”
Use of hypocoristics in Chile and Mexico
The study and analysis of hypocoristics has evolved through various theoretical currents, sometimes viewed solely as examples of phonetic phenomena, sometimes as a simple anecdotal account of variants, and more recently as useful examples demonstrating the advantages of more modern theories. The Use of Hypocoristics in Chile and Mexico, on the other hand, is a synchronistic study—with a phonological perspective—in that it focuses solely on describing the changes that some given names have undergone with respect to their hypocoristics, as well as the possible causes of these transformations. To this end, it utilizes both traditional analysis and contemporary phonological theories.
