[Between chemotherapies, herbalism and spiritualities: Anthropological study of therapeutic pluralism in adults with cancer in Mexico].

Objectives: To analyze the characteristics of therapeutic pluralism in adult patients at a hospital Cancer Center, based on their health/illness/care-neglect trajectories.

Methods: Analytical-explanatory, ethnographic, transversal-applied qualitative study. Data was provided by ten participants with cancer treated at the Veracruz State Cancer Center.

"Something Born of the Heart": Culturally Affiliated Illnesses of Older Adults in Oaxaca.

This qualitative research identifies and analyzes emotions and interventions linked to affective experiences and cultural aspects of health/illness/care processes in 219 older adults of eight Indigenous groups in Oaxaca, Mexico. Life stories are examined from perspectives of cultural gerontology, anthropology of emotions and critical medical anthropology with a gender perspective. Significance and healing of two illnesses of cultural affiliation: tiricia (sadness of the soul) and envidia (rancor against the successful) are examined.

Large-Area Epitaxial Monolayer MoS2.

Two-dimensional semiconductors such as MoS2 are an emerging material family with wide-ranging potential applications in electronics, optoelectronics, and energy harvesting. Large-area growth methods are needed to open the way to applications. Control over lattice orientation during growth remains a challenge.

Light generation and harvesting in a van der Waals heterostructure.

Two-dimensional (2D) materials are a new type of materials under intense study because of their interesting physical properties and wide range of potential applications from nanoelectronics to sensing and photonics. Monolayers of semiconducting transition metal dichalcogenides MoS2 or WSe2 have been proposed as promising channel materials for field-effect transistors. Their high mechanical flexibility, stability, and quality coupled with potentially inexpensive production methods offer potential advantages compared to organic and crystalline bulk semiconductors.
