Abstract:
Se documenta la nota roja publicada sobre un crimen acontecido en una hacienda henequenera de Tekax, Yucatán, en 1890. Se analiza el manejo que la prensa dio a un homicidio, mientras se explica cómo se construyó el control social en el Yucatán rural, y se exploran las razones por las que el periodismo yucateco se interesó en el suceso. El interés del trabajo es explicar cómo la prensa decimonónica meridana presentó evidencias sobre el homicidio de un jornalero y mostró evidencias de cómo se integró en su nota roja una crítica a las condiciones laborales y al andamiaje legal y de investigación que cimentaban el maltrato de los jornaleros mayas por el personal del hacendado.Abstract: The «red note» published on a crime occurred in a henequen farm of Tekax Yucatan in 1890 is documented. The handling of the press gave homicide is analyzed, while explaining how social control was built in rural Yucatan, and the reasons why Yucatecan journalism was interested in the event. This work explain how the nineteenthcentury press of Merida presented evidence about the murder of a day laborer and showed evidence of how a criticism of working conditions and legal and investigative scaffolding that cemented the mistreatment of day laborers was integrated in their red note Maya by the landowner’s staff.Keywords: social control; social change; journalism; social critic; homicide.Résumé : Il s’agit d’une note rouge publiée à propos d’un crime survenu dans une exploitation d’henequen à Tekax, Yucatan en 1890. Est ainsi analysée la manière dont la presse a rendu compte d’un assassinat, tout en expliquant comment fonctionnait le contrôle social dans le Yucatan rural, et pourquoi le journalisme du Yucatan s’est intéressé à cet évènement. L’intérêt de cet article se trouve dans la manière de rendre compte d’un double processus : la presse de Mérida a présenté les preuves de l’assassinat d’un travailleur journalier, tout en intégrant dans la note rouge une critique des conditions de travail et une analyse de l’échafaudage juridique qui a contribué aux mauvais traitements subis par les journaliers mayas de la part du personnel du grand propriétaire.Mots-clés : contrôle social ; changement social ; journalisme ; critique sociale ; assassinat.

Abstract:
Abstract This paper provides a comparative analysis of word-final nasals in Yucatecan Spanish and Yucatec Maya based on speech data from Quintana Roo (Mexico). In Yucatecan Spanish, a nasal is often pronounced as [m] if placed at the end of a word (e.g., Yucatá[m] instead of Yucatá[n]). Since this phenomenon is widespread on the Yucatán Peninsula, but largely unknown in other Spanish-speaking regions, it is often linked to the influence of the indigenous language Yucatec Maya. Our Spanish dataset differs from our Yucatec Mayan one in that the labialization rate significantly increases with the length of the subsequent pause in the former, but not in the latter. Thus, even if the feature was originally transferred from Yucatec Maya to Spanish, it seems that it has taken on a life of its own in Yucatecan Spanish, determined by its function as a marker of prosodic prominence.

Abstract:
A new species of Heteranthera (Pontederiaceae), H. yucatana, is described, discussed, and iconographically documented based on material from Yucatan state, Mexico. The species is known from a few small ponds along a narrow strip of dry forests and shrublands over limestone outcrops and derived soils along the northwestern edge of the Yucatan Peninsula. The new species is related and has been hitherto confused with H. seubertiana from eastern Brazil but is easily distinguishable by its substantially smaller habit and flowers. Furthermore, the perianth lobes are lilac with a white-greenish basal blotch with yellowish towards the apex (as opposed to yellow lobes with proximal brownish spots). Also, the two lateral filaments are conspicuously inflated obliquely, as in Heteranthera mexicana, from which it differs by its much smaller vegetative size and some floral characters. The conservation status of the new species is assessed as Endangered according to the IUCN criteria. The genus Heteranthera consists of three species in the Yucatan Peninsula: H. dubia, H. limosa, and H. yucatana. Distributional maps for all Heteranthera from the area covered are presented. Finally, we offer a key to Heteranthera of the area.

Abstract:
AbstractThis brief essay argues that studying the non-Spanish inhabitants of Yucatan's past requires bridging the social distance generated by differences of time and culture and that the specific nature of that distance must first be understood. With respect to the Mayas, their mystique in the modern popular and academic imaginations is as much the creation of Maya elites in ancient and colonial times as it is the product of archaeologists and historians. To demystify the Maya, we must engage mundane as well as exotic sources and be aware of the obfuscating influence of those who interpreted Maya culture before us. A complete picture of colonial Yucatan and of the colonial Mayas must include Afro-Yucatecans, or Africans and their descendents in the peninsula. Rendered invisible by historical processes and lack of scholarly attention, Afro-Yucatecans must be fully examined if we are to fully grasp the Yucatec experience, including the Yucatec Maya experience.

Abstract:
A lo largo de la segunda mitad del siglo XVIII la provincia de Yucatán enfrentó un permanente déficit hacendario como resultado de su creciente gasto militar. La sangría de recursos por parte de la Metrópoli y la desarticulación del sistema fiscal colonial, resultado de la guerra de Independencia, llevaron a Yucatán en 1814 a una crisis financiera. Este artículo analiza, desde la perspectiva de las finanzas coloniales, el déficit fiscal y los mecanismos para solventarlo. El estudio se sustenta en la organización de los ramos hacendarios bajo los principios fiscales coloniales. During the second half of the eighteenth-century the province of Yucatan faced a permanent fiscal deficit as a result of the increasing military expenses. The continuos draining from Spain and the disarticulation of the colonial fiscal system as well as the effects of the independence war lead Yucatan into a financial crisis. This article analizes the fiscal deficit and the strategies to solve it from the colonial finances perspective. In order to accomplish this, the organization of the fields of the royal treasury, under the colonial fiscal principles was necessary.

Abstract:
La soja en el estado de Yucatán, México, es un cultivo relativamente nuevo (a partir de 2009) que, sin embargo, se ha expandido aceleradamente en tierras anteriormente sembradas con maíz y pastizales para ganadería, en el marco de un proceso de reconversión productiva. El presente artículo tiene como objetivo el estudio de las causas o factores que han motivado dicha expansión, así como sus efectos en la estructura agraria y productiva de Yucatán, todo lo cual implica el análisis de las políticas agrícolas y los incentivos de mercado a diferentes escalas (local–global). Uno de los hallazgos de la investigación reveló la existencia de importantes diferencias entre las dos regiones productoras de dicho grano, el Oriente y el Sur, entre las cuales figura la tipología de sus productores. Así, mientras en la primera región el cultivo de la soja es empresarial, en la segunda prevalecen grandes productores (ejidatarios), que rentan las tierras de los ejidos sureños, pasando los arrendadores a una situación de “exclusión productiva”. Sin ser el objetivo central, también se señalan los efectos negativos que el cultivo de la soja ha tenido en diversos ámbitos (medio ambiente, biodiversidad, deforestación, salud humana y animal), así como en la economía de los apicultores yucatecos. Palabras clave: soja; política agrícola; renta de tierras; Yucatán; México. Soybeans in the state of Yucatan, Mexico, is a relatively new crop (as of 2009) that, however, has expanded rapidly on previously cultivated areas with corn and pastures for livestock. The objective of this article is to study the causes or factors that have motivated this expansion, as well as its effects on the agrarian and productive structure of Yucatan, all of which implies the analysis of agricultural policies and market incentives at different scales (local-global). One of the findings of the investigation revealed the existence of important differences between the two producing regions of this grain, the East and he South, among which is the typology of its producers, since while in the first the cultivation of soy is entreprenurial, the second prevails large producers (ejidatarios), who lease the lands of the southern ejidos, entering the landlords to a process of "productive exclusion". Without being the central objective, the negative effects that the cultivation of soybean has had in different areas (environment, biodiversity, deforestation, human and animal health), as well as the impact on Yucatan beekeepers are also pointed out. Keywords: soybean; subsidies; land leasing; Yucatan; Mexico.

Abstract:
Previous research has indicated that in Yucatan Spanish, /ptk/ are aspirated at greater levels than in other varieties, a feature attributed to contact with Yucatec Maya, a language that has both aspirated and ejective voiceless stops. The current study presents the first quantitative, acoustic, variationist investigation of the linguistic and social factors that constrain aspiration (as measured by VOT) in Yucatan Spanish. Analyses, conducted using mixed-effects statistical models, indicate that VOT values are longer in stressed syllables and phrase initially, and also before non-low vowels. Regarding social factors, men consistently favor longer VOT, along with older speakers. While no significant result was obtained based on language background (Maya-Spanish bilinguals vs. Spanish monolinguals), there is evidence of the influence of language and dialect contact on the observed patterns. Further results and conclusions are discussed.

Abstract:
Yucatan minipigs have become increasingly common animal models in neuroscience where recent studies, investigating blast-induced traumatic brain injury, stroke, and glioblastoma, aim to uncover brain injury mechanisms [1-3]. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) has the potential to validate and optimize unknown parameters in controlled populations. The key to group-level MRI analysis within a species is to align (or register) subject scans to the same volumetric space using a brain template. However, large animal brain templates are lacking, which limits the use of MRI as an effective research tool to study group effects. The objective of this study was to create an MRI-based Yucatan minipig brain template allowing for uniform group-level analysis of this animal model in a standard volumetric space to characterize brain mechanisms. To do this, 5-7 month old, male Yucatan minipigs were scanned using a 3 Tesla whole-body scanner (Siemens AG, Erlangen) in accordance with IACUC. T1-weighted anatomical volumes (resolution = 1×1×1 mm3; TR = 2300 ms; TE= 2.89 ms; TI = 900 ms; FOV = 256 mm2 ; FA = 8 deg) were collected with a three-dimensional magnetization prepared rapid acquisition gradient echo (MPRAGE) pulse sequence [4]. The volumes were preprocessed, co-registered, and averaged using both linear and non-linear registration algorithms in AFNI [5] to create four templates (n=58): linear brain, non-linear brain, linear head, and non-linear head. To validate the templates, tissue probability maps (TPMs) and variance maps were created, and landmark variation was measured. TPMs computed in FSL [6] and AFNI show enhanced tissue probability and contrast in the non-linear template. Additionally, variance maps showed a more uniform spatial variance in the non-linear template compared to the linear. Registration variation within the brain template was within 1.5 mm and displayed improved landmark variation in the non-linear brain template. External evaluation subjects (n=12), not included in the template, were registered to the four templates to assess functionality. The results indicate that the developed templates provide acceptable registration accuracy to enable population comparisons. With these templates, researchers will be able to use MRI as a tool to further neurological discovery and collaborate in a uniform space.

The objective of this study was to create an MRI-based Yucatan minipig brain template allowing for uniform group-level analysis of this animal model in a standard volumetric space to better characterize brain mechanisms. The neuroanatomy of the Yucatan minipig, which is characterized by an increased brain size and gyrencephalic intricacies similar to humans, has made it an increasingly common animal model in neuroscience. Linear and non-linear registration methods were performed in Analysis of Functional NeuroImages (AFNI) software to create both brain and head templates for 5-7 month old, male Yucatan minipigs (n=58). This study was validated looking at template variance, tissue probability maps (TPMs) of segmented grey matter, white matter, and cerebrospinal fluid, and landmark variation. The results indicate that the developed templates provide acceptable registration accuracy to enable population comparisons. With these templates, researchers will be able to use MRI as a tool to further neurological discovery and collaborate in a uniform space.

Abstract:
The suitability of aquaculture for inland water bodies in the State of Yucatan, a karstic area of southeast Mexico was investigated. Five types of water bodies distinct in morphometric and hydrological characteristics were identified through land-based surveys. Representative sites for each were selected for further study: a sinkhole, a permanent aguada (clogged sinkhole), a rain-filled seasonal pond, a small <1 ha) gravel quarry and a large (>9 ha) gravel quarry. The water quality in all of the sites had a high pH (range 7.2-9.4) alkalinity (range 130-840 mg/l CaC03) and hardness (range 198-998mg CaC03). Their nutrient status varied from the permanently stratified and hypereutrophic conditions in the permanent aguada, to oligotrophic conditions in gravel quarries. In general, the water quality resulted adequate for fish culture in the gravel quarries, the sinkhole and in the seasonal pond, but ecological considerations prevented sinkholes for aquaculture development. Aquaculture trials involving the stocking of fry of the native cichlid Cichlasoma urophthalmus and O. niloticus in seasonal ponds and a small gravel quarry demonstrated the feasibility of neglected water bodies for small-scale aquaculture. A net yield of 180 Kg/ha/6 months was obtained from a gravel quarry fertilised with grass Panicum virgatum and stocked with C. urophthalmus. Yields from seasonal ponds were 157Kg/ha of O. niloticus from a small (0.010 ha), and 30 kg/ha of C. urophthalmus from a large (1.11 ha) seasonal pond (no fertilisation or feeding. An environmental impact assessment was carried out at an experimental cage site in gravel quarry. An estimated 0.02 kg of phosphorus was wasted per kg fish produced. A socioeconomic survey on attitudes towards aquaculture adoption was carried out in four agricultural villages and a fishing port. This led to the construction and operation of a small pond demonstration unit. Results suggest that farmers are receptive and adoption of aquaculture as a complementary activity may be feasible and beneficial to rural development, especially in areas with existing water bodies. Economic modelling of the different production units involved showed returns to labour higher than the average agricultural wage. A computer-based Geographical Information System identified areas suitable for aquacultural development. Two major areas were identified: the northern Karst plains where gravel quarries are abundant and suitable for intensive cage-culture; and the southern hilly region where small-scale seasonal aquaculture could be developed.

Dans la region du henequen 44 000 paysans mayas s'adonnent a la culture exclusive de cette plante, cette region s'etend sur 13 653 km2 dans le nord-ouest du yucatan. Elle est consideree comme une zone productive et socialement homogene, cependant nous assistons a un eclatement de la region provoque par une crise apparue dans les annees 60, de cette culture dominante. Le henequen est connue sous le nom de sisal au niveau international. Notre interet porte sur le declin de la monoproduction de la fibre naturelle et sur les changements que celui-ci entraine au niveau spatial ainsi que sur ses incidences productives, sociales et naturelles. Deux grandes zones ont ete reperees : la zone est, traditionnelle monoproductrice de la fibre, et la zone ouest, que presente une tendance a la production commerciale d'agrumes et de plantes maraicheres. Ces zones correspondent a deux sur les quatre reperees lors de notre caracterisation du milieu physique naturel. L'impact sur le milieu naturel des deux pratiques agricoles distinctes a ete mesure d'apres le degre de regeneration de la foret. L'une correspond a l'agriculture de subsistance, l'autre a la monoculture du henequen. Nous avons remarque un deuxieme impact : la salinite de l'eau souterraine est augmentee du au sur-pompage d'eau pour la production maraichere sur la cote nord de la region
The henequen-growing district of yucatan covers an area of 5060 square miles in the north-western part of the province. It is predominantly devoted to the cultivation of the plant by 44 000 maya indians, and has a reputation for social homoqeneity. The district, however, is now coming apart under the strains of an economic crisis which first hit the market for natural fibres in the 1960s and is now posing a threat to the plantation farming of that agave. Know as a sisal in international circles. Our interest was in the decline in the exclusive production of the natural fibre and in the changes which have come about in land usage as a result of this decline, whose effects on production, society, and nature were also studied. Two main areas were identified - the eastern area, traditionally given over to the exclusive production of the fibre and western area with a tendency to the commercial production of citrus fruit and market-garden vegetables. These areas are only two of the four identified in our characterization of the natural physical environment. The impact on the natural environment of the two separate farming techniques involved was measured by the degree of regeneration of the forest. We noticed an impact of another kind : the salinity of underground water is increased by the over-pumping of water for market-garden produce on the north coast of the district

Abstract:
This ethnographically informed dissertation focuses on the ways rural Yucatec Maya women, midwives and state health care workers participate in the production of childbirth and maternal health care practices. It further addresses how state health programs influence the relationships and interactions between these groups. Although childbirth practices in Yucatan have always been characterized by contestation, negotiation and change, their intensity and speed have significantly increased over the last decade. Drastic changes in the maternal health of rural indigenous communities in Mexico and throughout the world are directly connected to intensified state interventions that favor biomedicine over traditional health systems. In rural Yucatan, state health programs such as Oportunidades and Seguro Popular support a biomedical approach to birth by distributing medical resources to government clinics/hospitals and encouraging program participation of poor women through conditional cash incentives. This dissertation seeks to interrogate changing childbirth practices in a rural indigenous community in Quintana Roo, MX to gain a deeper understanding of the complex politics that shape local understandings and approaches to childbirth. It further explores how shifting social relations and political alliances are created within the context of reproductive health. This ethnography highlights how Yucatec Maya women envision a productive, yet negotiated, relationship with the state that allows them control of their prenatal and maternal health while engaging with state health programs. Focusing on the cultural production of childbirth in a rural community in southwestern Quintana Roo, this research seeks to explore the dynamic ways in which indigenous communities are reproduced over time through moments of engagement and contestation with the state. The Maya women in this dissertation exist at the margins of the Mexican government’s concerns, policies, and resources. Yet, even at the margins the influence and power of state ideology and policies intimately affect the lives of rural indigenous women. The core argument of this dissertation is that these women, who rely on traditional and historical experience, create strategies for survival and social reproduction despite their marginalized position within the Mexican state. This research draws from over a decade of fieldwork. Predissertation fieldwork took place during the summer months of 2002, 2003, 2004, 2007, 2008, and 2010. I completed my dissertation fieldwork from January to October of 2013. During that time, I conducted 60 formal and informal interviews and a small survey. Additionally, a large portion of my research took place with a local family that consisted of female healers and health educators, whom I extensively interviewed and conducted hundreds of hours of participant observation. The family was the locus of authoritative knowledge in the community and they provided vital insights into community life and local understandings and approaches to reproductive health. This dissertation follows the Latin American tradition of using testimonios to articulate—and reflexively examine—the layered meanings and intersecting politics that shape changing childbirth practices in rural Yucatan.

Abstract:
In Spanish Colonial America, as well as in the Iberian Peninsula at the same time, different jurisdictions intertwined in the same space. By way of consequence, the complex political organization of the New World was composed, at the local level, by the Indian and Spanish Councils, the doctrines, and the provincial structures called corregimientos. Although the officials of those institutions received precise instructions, in which the Spanish Crown defined and limited their functions, tensions were common between the Indian governors, the clergymen, the Spanish Councils’ officeholders, and the Spanish provincial magistrates, or corregidores. The present article will analyze a series of lawsuits that occurred in sixteenth century Yucatan and in which those authorities were implicated, in order to highlight not only the nature of the jurisdictional conflicts, but also the modalities of their resolution at stake in the Spanish Empire’s courts of justice. Special emphasis will be put on the jurisdiction of the Maya Councils with the objective of better understanding the scope of indigenous agency in Spanish Colonial America. We argue that the local control on the one hand, and the legal representation on the other, were key elements in these processes.
Al igual que en la península ibérica, en la América colonial se superpusieron distintas jurisdicciones en el mismo espacio, de modo que el complejo entramado político del Nuevo Mundo estaba conformado, a nivel local, por los cabildos indígenas y españoles, las doctrinas y los corregimientos. Aunque los representantes de aquellas instituciones recibieron detalladas instrucciones en las que la Corona española definía y limitaba sus funciones y prerrogativas, fueron frecuentes las tensiones entre los gobernadores indígenas, los alcaldes ordinarios, los curas beneficiados y los corregidores. A partir de una serie de pleitos en los que estuvieron involucradas estas autoridades, el presente trabajo analiza tanto la naturaleza de los conflictos jurisdiccionales que tuvieron lugar en el Yucatán del siglo XVI como las modalidades de su resolución en los foros de justicia de la Monarquía hispana. Se presta especial atención a la jurisdicción de los cabildos mayas con el fin de esclarecer el alcance de la participación indígena en el sistema político del Imperio hispánico. Consideramos que el control local, por un lado, y la representación legal, por otro, resultan fundamentales para comprender aquellos fenómenos.

Abstract:
<p>This paper presents the methodology used in the geometrical characterization of Yucatan churches. The main aim was to determine the geometrical features of the typical profile that represent with the best accuracy the churches with canon vaults built in the south of Mexico. The methodology was structure in two phases: (1) preliminary studies and definition of the database of the Yucatan churches and (2) statistical studies on the database. After the definition of the key parameters describing the typical profile of one nave Yucatan churches, a statistical analysis was carried out through regression analysis among the different parameters and definition of histograms for the variables. An attempt to describe the key parameters as a function of the span of the churches was also performed. Based on the results obtained, it seems that the Yucatan’s churches were built totally in an intuitive way as they do not present clear numerical relationships between geometrical key parameters.</p>
