Representation and interpretation of the time in historical cartography.
This article explores the representation and interpretation of time in historical cartography, an aspect rarely addressed by theorists such as J. Brian Harley, who focused on the iconography and ideologies of space. A methodology is proposed to identify time in maps through literal elements (dates of production or publication), geographical elements (mountains, rivers), and non-geographical elements that refer to human activity. Inspired by Karl Schlögel, who asserts that maps possess a “historicity” by showing the emergence and disappearance of places, it is argued that maps not only reflect the present, but also make the past visible and project the future. Time on maps is shown on different scales: from really short periods, like the five days of the Battle of Ahualulco, where military movements are detailed by the hour, to “everyday life” and long-term stuff, like what's shown in Felipe II's Relaciones Geográficas, which illustrate daily activities and conflicts that went on for a long time, like the Chichimeca War. Likewise, it analyzes how cartography can express the future, exemplified in urban plans such as the division of San Luis Potosí into quarters in 1794. These maps, although they show a present reality, superimpose government intentions and plans for territorial control, highlighting the need to verify whether these projects materialized. Finally, the importance of interpreting historical cartography with caution is emphasized, as the information may be erroneous or incomplete, as demonstrated by the case of Isla Bermeja.
Palestinian women in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict
This article analyzes the participation of Palestinian women in the context of the Israeli- Palestinian conflict, with a particular focus on their involvement in armed struggle during the Second Intifada (2000–2005) and their role in the public sphere. A critical reading is proposed from a feminist perspective that questions both the normative frameworks of the modern nation-state and the limitations of Western feminisms in understanding local dynamics. The study argues that Palestinian women face a dual oppression: on the one hand, the Israeli occupation, and on the other, patriarchal structures within their own society. Through an analysis of their participation in armed groups and political processes, the paper highlights how their agency is constantly shaped and constrained by masculine and hierarchical discourses. It calls for an approach that goes beyond the logic of "othering," recognizing these women as complex political subjects embedded in structural dynamics shared by women in other conflict-affected contexts.
Epistemological Foundations of Feminist Foreign Policy in the World
Feminist foreign policy represents a transformative paradigm in international relations by challenging the androcentric and Eurocentric epistemological foundations of traditional theories. This article analyzes how feminist epistemology—based on situated knowledge (Haraway, 1988), intersectionality (Crenshaw, 1991), and postcolonial critique—redefines foreign policy by shifting its focus from state power to gender justice and the inclusion of marginalized voices. It examines how these theoretical principles translate into concrete practices, analyzing cases such as Sweden, Mexico, Canada, Spain, Germany, and Chile. While these innovative initiatives promote greater equity in diplomacy and cooperation, they face tensions between Western universalism and cultural diversity, as well as institutional resistance. Their main challenge is to maintain their transformative character in the face of traditional power structures. The article highlights the need for a pluralist epistemology that, without abandoning human rights, engages with non-hegemonic forms of knowledge to build a truly inclusive foreign policy. Its contribution is not only theoretical but also practical: it offers tools to rethink power, security, and global justice from a decolonial and feminist perspective
Sustainable dymanic marketing capabilities is small and medium-sized enterprises: A comparison between Mexico and Spain
This research proposes a comparative analysis of the factors that integrate the dynamic capabilities of sustainable marketing in micro and small enterprises in the commercial and service sector between Mexico and Spain. This comparison seeks to provide empirical evidence to understand how MSMEs face current challenges, how they adopt sustainable practices and how they configure their marketing strategies according to the external and internal environment. This is a quantitative, descriptive and cross-sectional research, with 634 businessmen and businesswomen surveyed online. The findings show that micro and small companies in Spain have greater dynamic sustainable marketing capabilities in most of the factors evaluated, especially in innovation, technology and data analysis. Mexico stands out in value co-creation and environmental perception. The differences are statistically significant according to the Mann-Whitney U test.
The Treaty of Amsterdam and its contributions. Towards European integration
The Treaty of Amsterdam (TA) is an agreement signed in October 1997 in Amsterdam, Netherlands, which entered into force in May 1999 after being ratified by the then ex 15 member states of the European Union (EU). Its primary objective was to establish a unified framework for freedom, security, and justice within the EU. Additionally, it emphasized key aspects such as job creation, justice, the free movement of people, foreign policy, and security. Furthermore, it sought to implement the necessary institutional reforms in response to the accession of Eastern European countries plus Cyprus, and Malta to the EU. The TA stands as the third significant reform of the EU’s founding treaties, underscoring its paramount importance.
Comparative analysis of the strategic partnership between Brazil and Mexico with the European Union 2007-2025: results and expectation
Strategic partnerships are a legal instrument incorporated into the rest of the European Union's foreign policy tools and aim to enhance its global presence. Strategic partnerships were used as a more political instrument, indicating that global challenges should be addressed by key partners through partnerships with other key players or regions. The European Union has decided to integrate this new element of foreign action without a clear understanding of its scope and impact. This has generated criticism from a vast number of countries internationally, which question the validity of strategic partnerships in their foreign action. This paper analyzes the development of strategic partnerships between the European Union in Latin America, specifically the strategic partnerships with Brazil (2007) and Mexico (2008). Therefore, it will attempt to identify their negotiation process and structure, and, above all, generate a comparative analysis of the results and development of these strategic partnerships to date. Finally, we will explore the potential of these partnerships to address global challenges, the integration of the Latin American and Caribbean region, and bilateral opportunities.

Economic and Political Relations between Mexico and The European Union (2015-2023): Key and Strategic Elements of the Bilateral Relationship
This article assesses cooperation relations between Mexico and the European Union (EU). From ideologies, theoretical approaches and differentiated and at times, conflicting political proposals, but sustaining with consistency a link that has lasted and deepened for more than half a century. It is worth mentioning that relations between Mexico and the UE has aroused much interest, in the last decades. As the UE the third most important economic partner for Mexico. The second, provider of Foreign Direct Investment. Furthermore, Mexico and the UE share common western values, such us: respect of human rights, the principles of liberal democracy and believes in a multilateral order. Particular now, when the world face commercial wars, and the imposition of commercial wars and policies which generate political instability in the international scenario, that has been created by the current president of the United States, Donald Trump. Hence, both parties share the same interest in a multilateral order. Although Mexico and the EU have established one of the most important agreements in the world, known as the Global Agreement. However, relations between both parties, are fare to reach its maximum potential, for political, economic and even cultural reasons. For mention an example, Mexico concentrate more than 90 per cent of its foreign trade with just seven members of the 27 members of the UE. Those members are: Germany, Spain, Belgium, Italy, the United Kingdom (not member of the UE), Hungary and the Netherlands. From the part of Mexico, today more than ever it is a sine qua non condition for Mexico to seeks new trading partners among the 27 members of this organization, vis-á-vis the challenges faced by Donald Trump towards the USMCA. In this sense, Mexico could diversify its markets and reduce its economic dependence on the United States economy which accounts for more than 86 percent of Mexico's foreign trade on the international stage.
The breakdown of the Us strategy towards Russia and Ukraine. In Trump’s second term.
The aspiration for global control in all regions of the world, currently exhibited by the President of the United States, Donald Trump, and the geostrategy of establishing a dictatorship in the information world to exercise control and manipulation of society, combined with the tactics of a total hybrid war against undesired regimes, particularly against the Russian Federation (until recently, under President Biden), the People's Republic of China, and Iran, is evident. Due to the armed conflict in Ukraine, where Russia faces almost alone the armed forces of the countries of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and other factors, the world order is changing. The aggression of the media has been chosen as the main weapon of a total hybrid war against the Russian Federation in all spheres of life (politics, diplomacy, economy and business, energy, and culture).
Fascism and anti-fascism in 21st-century Europe
In the 21st century, Europe has witnessed the resurgence of far-right, neonationalist, and neoconservative movements, often associated with fascism and its variants. However, the lack of a precise definition and the constant transformation of these expressions make the antifascist struggle more challenging, as was the case during the interwar period. In this context, the hypothesis emerges that the ambiguity in defining contemporary expressions of fascism disorients modern antifascism and ultimately facilitates the expansion of liberal authoritarian forms. From a Critical Political Philosophy perspective, this paper reflects on the rise of the far right within the context of the crisis of neoliberalism and the political responses to structural inequalities in Europe.
The European Union’s strategy for facing the challenges of the 21st century
In an international context where uncertainty is the norm due to the distancing of traditional allies such as the United States and the European Union, caused not only by different political positions on issues such as the war in Ukraine, the environment, and NATO, but also because in the early months of 2025, Donald Trump's second administration as US president has triggered a trade war by raising tariffs on virtually all countries that trade with the US, including members of the European Union, The question that arises for scholars of Europe is whether this integration process has the tools to remain an influential player on the international stage, or whether its dependence on other countries in various areas (technology, security, trade, etc.) in this environment of uncertainty, which has revealed the vulnerability generated by free trade and cooperation with other states, puts its international presence at risk. Our hypothesis is that the interregional practice that the European Union has developed over decades will provide it with the links and tools to deal with the tariff policy that characterizes Donald Trump's second administration. To answer this question, we will consider those areas in which the European Union has long excelled and which respond to the essential principles of the integration process. By this we mean actions that result from principles and values such as freedom, democracy, and solidarity, as established in Article 2 of the Treaty on European Union, and which go beyond the current situation. Therefore, concepts such as cooperation, multilateralism, regionalism, and interregionalism, as well as vulnerability, will be used; that is, theories from international relations to neoliberalism will be used to understand the phenomenon at hand.

Prospects for engineering curricula in industrial, logistics and automotive fields
The industrial and service sectors generate demands for talent and technical and soft skills that graduates of undergraduate and graduate engineering programs must have to demonstrate their competence above competitors. Socioeconomic development in Puebla requires a comprehensive approach that combines economic growth with social inclusion, improved educational quality, and environmental sustainability. Addressing these aspects in a coordinated and strategic manner can foster balanced development that benefits the entire population, reduces inequalities, and takes advantage of the region's unique strengths. At the undergraduate level, the aim is to incorporate analysis and decision-making techniques using the digitalization of environments. This prepares students to face the challenges of Industry 4.0 associated with integrating digital technologies in manufacturing and service processes. Concerning graduate studies, opening academic programs in areas with high economic demand contributes to the socioeconomic development of the regions, creating opportunities for the local population and promoting economic growth. In both cases, alignment with market needs reduces unemployment rates. On the other hand, fostering active participation, the development of critical skills, inclusion and connection with the community are key to preparing students for a successful future and creating an educational environment in which they can flourish and take a proactive role in their own learning and society. At the national and international level, innovation, infrastructure, education and sustainability are key to promoting robust and equitable economic growth.
Teaching Mathematics in the Digital Era: Applied Mathematical Analysis
In Mexico, various assessments point to an educational gap in understanding mathematics. Although part of this is explained by the COVID-19 pandemic, recent research points to the need to update teaching-learning processes, as these have focused on developing calculus skills, which are perceived as useless. Consequently, the development of other skills that contribute to linking abstraction with everyday problem-solving is neglected. Therefore, this article conceptualizes Applied Mathematical Analysis as a framework for developing different skills associated with, and not just with, calculus processes. The notion of Applied Mathematical Analysis seeks to relate variables, that describe common problems, with formal mathematical concepts; that is, to serve as a guide for creating activities that allow students to communicate, interpret, identify assumptions, perform calculations, represent, and analyze problems through an understanding of mathematical objects. Seeking to implement mathematical concepts with their applications also allows us to identify digital tools that can facilitate understanding, either through their graphical or computational capabilities.

Simulation of toxic substance dispersion using CFD
The study addresses the simulation of atmospheric dispersion of toxic substances, specifically ammonia, using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). COMSOL 6.2 software is employed to model the dispersion in two and three dimensions, applying k-ε turbulence models and Large Eddy Simulation (LES), along with the Transport of Diluted Species model. The research focuses on the hydrodynamics of turbulent flows and chemical dispersion, considering the complexities and nonlinearities of these phenomena. The results show the evolution of a toxic ammonia cloud, highlighting the importance of CFD in predicting behaviors and supporting decision-making in emergency situations. The 3D simulations emphasize the challenges in accurate prediction due to variations in velocity and concentration at different points within the domain. To summarize, although CFD is a powerful tool, significant limitations remain that require further research to improve accuracy and effectiveness in managing chemical emergencies.
Incentives for the payment of property tax in Ecuador: game theory analysis
In this research work, a game theory model is proposed to analyze the interaction between two agents, the government and the taxpayer. Such a model considers realistic assumptions related to the tax collection in Ecuador. Specifically, we assume the existence of an inspector who is in charge of collection the property tax. By describing the previous interaction as a simultaneous game, we search for the government and taxpayer equilibrium strategies. Given the features of the tax collection system, such as the possibility to bribe and the inspector’s wage, the Nash equilibrium is characterized by promoting tax evasion. Later, we discuss some actions to improve the tax collection structure in order to avoid tax evasion.
Model for detecting false alarms in SMEs with Alarm Monitoring, through the adoption of droneand ANN technology to improve theircompetitiveness and customer satisfaction
The increase in the perception of insecurity has generated that more and more people acquire an alarm system to safeguard their homes or businesses, to a Company with Central Monitoring (ECM), a recurring problem that occurs in these companies are false alarms (FA) generated by the user, the equipment or weather conditions, which on average are 89% according to the National Security Commission; these false alarms generated in 2018 a cost for the Mexican State of $82,431,852 million dollars; besides generating a perception in customers of a bad service that generates dissatisfaction and the State due to the high losses already began to Legislate on this issue and the sanctions range from fines to revocation of the service license; so it is important to minimize these FA since they endanger the existence of these companies. This research project aims to develop a model, through a neural network (ANN) that performs a data analysis to detect the FA and through the use of a drone to verify the FA, so that the ECM are more competitive and improve customer satisfaction by innovating its monitoring process and the perception of quality service.

Freedom is a concept whose understanding has been fundamental for the development of individuals and societies. The introduction of technological and social advances makes it necessary to clarify the idea of being free or fully exercising freedom. Given the complexity of the concept, this article presents the relationship between freedom and choice through decision and game theory. With the previous tools, we show that freedom is impossible because it leads to the dilemma that exercising freedom can prevent us from exercising it. Thus, introducing rational choices and limiting choice sets show that total freedom is impossible. In other words, freedom refers to a restricted decision process

Diseño Metodológico para la Implementación de un Sistema de Monitoreo para la Medición de la Disponibilidad de una Cabina de Soldadura de Taller
The present study establishes the design of a methodological model to carry out an availability analysis of a workstation for workshop welding practices. Inside the workshop welding, use is made of booths which must have certain operating characteristics that range from ergonomics, electrical variables and environmental conditions to the integrity of the machine. The proposal of a supervisory system for the analysis of availability of a work cabin for workshop welding is obtained under the adaptation of a RAM (Reliability - Availability - Maintainability) methodology and the characterization of a work station is developed in order to obtain a model of supervision. Although there are multiple applications for industrial maintenance of this methodology, those relating to welding workstation processes are very limited and focus, for the most part, towards the final product, which is the welded part. In this way, if the maintenance management indexes that determine the maintainability of the process are known, a predictive model can be developed in order to guarantee its availability
