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.

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.

This book presents how the legal and judicial management of marriage and sexuality changed in the Spanish-American world toward the end of the Ancien Régime, using the jurisdiction of Colima as a vantage point between 1765 and 1821. This was a period of profound political changes that led to matters related to marriage and sexual crimes becoming exclusively secular matters rather than mixed matters—civil and ecclesiastical—as they had been previously managed. This meant that the Catholic Church lost its judicial powers, as ecclesiastical courts could no longer penalize sexual offenses, reducing their management to a purely moral matter. This transition, more than a paradigm shift, constituted a shift in powers, as the courts continued to consider sexual practices outside of marriage illicit, but were now in charge of managing the social order. Analyzing the Colima case allows us to observe the tensions between the permanence and change from a differentiated and casuistic order to a universal and systematic one that was gradually emerging. In the tension between norm and practice, subjects present themselves as agents who, rather than obeying or transgressing norms, knew how to manage and negotiate their problems before the courts to obtain the most favorable ruling.

Threats and Disasters in the Pacific Rim
Tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, hurricanes, and earthquakes are permanent threats in the region of the Pacific Rim. Disasters, generated by deficient risk management are quantifiable as well as worrying. On a global level, between 2005 and 2014, Asia had 40% of natural nature phenomenon that generated disasters, which turns the area into the most susceptible to receive such impacts. In other words, according to the Disaster Report in Asia-Pacific (2015): “An inhabitant of Asia-Pacific has double the probability of being affected by a disaster than a person who lives in Africa, almost six times that of someone who lives in Latin America and the Caribbean, and thirty times more than someone who lives in North America or Europe”. Thus, the study of the causes, the impacts, and the ways of facing the threats and disasters acquire greater relevance. This is why various disciplines intervene from their own conceptual frameworks; Economy, in order to generate awareness on material losses, Sociology, in order to interpret the impacts of different socio-economic tolls; History, so as to better understand the tendencies of the threats and disasters; Linguistics, for proper communication in due time and proper course with the communities at risk; Computer Science, Telematics, Robotics, and Mechatronics, in preventions/solutions; Biology, with heating/contamination of the seas; among other disciplines that are involved with tending to these high impact problems. This book presents different perspectives in search of providing tools which make it possible to implement opportune integrating strategies to develop an efficient risk management, mainly in the Pacific Rim which is the area of the planet where this represents a fundamental challenge for the further development of the region. We must not forget that if there are disasters, they will affect development.

Empleo y delincuencia en los estados de México
The authors of this work study the relation between economy and delinquency in the various states of Mexico with an emphasis on thefts of property, a type of offense that through various channels “may potentially affect the functioning of an economy, since while theft towards passers-by may modify the patterns of consumption of an individual or a home, thefts towards businesses, on the other hand, may skew the investment plans of a business.” One of their contributions consists of clarifying the behavior of offenses against property in all 32 states of Mexico when they are conditioned to the types of use in violence, and the segmentation that prevails in the Mexican labor market. Among the different findings, we have, for example, that theft committed against passers-by describe a dynamic towards the concentration in the highest levels of incidence when they are carried out with violence; that the procyclical co-movement represents the behavior that prevails in most of the states of the country in the different categories of the studied offenses; and that the dissuasive effect of employment increases in the mid-term in most of the patrimonial offenses, particularly when the offenses are carried out with violence. Aside from the contribution that this work means to empirical literature that studies the link between economy and delinquency, it also provides information relevant to design, evaluation, and implementation of strategies and measures of policy of public security focused on reducing offenses against property.
