Objective. Determine the effect of bokashi fertilization on the growth and yield of ball tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L) in Yucatan. Materials and methods. The number of leaves/plant (HP), the plant height (AP, cm), the fresh weight of the plant (PFP, g), the dry weight of the plant (PSP, g), the production of fruit/plant (PF, g), fruit/plant yield (RFP) and yield/ha (RFH, t/ha) at 50 and 70 days after transplanting. The statistical model included the fixed effects of 100% chemical fertilization (FQ100), 100% bokashi fertilization (FB100), and the combination of chemical and bokashi fertilization (FQB50). Results. The effects were significant for most of the variables evaluated (P=0.05). FQ100 exceeded FB100 values in HP, AP, and PFP, but were similar in PSP. FQ100 also outperformed FQB50 in PFP and PSP, although they were similar in HP and AP. FQ100 and FQB50 achieved similar values in PF and RFH, surpassing FB100. Conclusions. FQ100 achieved better fruit yields for ball tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L) compared to FB100, but similar effects can be achieved if both products are combined (FQB50). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article analyses the vulnerability conditions of a fishing community facing the extreme meteorological phenomena aggravated by climate change. The methodology is qualitative, supported by geographic methods, based on the case study of the "La Barra afro-descendant community", located in the Colombian Pacific Coast, in the mouth of San Juan River. As there is limited access to the community due to its geographical conditions, besides the biosecurity requirements due to the COVID-19 pandemic, a documentary analysis, as well as multi-temporal maps based on satellite images, show the spatial changes on the coastline of La Barra, during the years 2001, 2011 and 2019. In addition to the above, interviews with academic experts and community residents are conducted. The term "vulnerability" is understood from the school of thought of climate change science and adaptation research. It is concluded that the vulnerability not only depends on climatic stimuli but also on the racialized and marginalized conditions of Afro populations located in isolated rural territories. In that way, the social and political nature of the meteorological phenomena could transform them in catastrophic events for vulnerable populations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Geographic information system (GIS) is a powerful tool to analyzing historical shoreline changes from several cartographic sources. The present study analyzed changes along two coastal areas in the department of Piura (Sector Chira river mouth-Colan beach) and the department of Tacna (Sector Boca del Rio, Los Palos beach) in Peru, by using Digital Shoreline Analysis System (DSAS), an extension of ArcGIS. The results show that in Tacna, shoreline tends to the stability or accretion in the period 1955-2004 with rates of 0.2 to 1.0 meters/year. Moreover, in Piura, the sector nearest to Chira river mouth shoreline tends to accretion with rates between 1.5 to 1.7 m/year. On the other hand, closest to Colan beach the shoreline trends are erosion with rates between -2 m/year to -4.1 m/year. The different behavior of two extreme coastal regions reinforces the local nature of the causes of beach erosion in the country. While El Niño has a very important role in the shoreline stability in the northern Peruvian coastline, the recent tectonic activity may be an important factor to explain the accretion of the coastline in southern Peruvian coastline.

The El Chilar Complex, located in Queretaro State, is a strongly deformed sedimentary unit that forms a tectonic mélange. This complex contains autochthonous blocks of sandstone or sandstone interbedded with shale, as well as exotic blocks of radiolarian chert. It is pre-Jurassic in age, and contains sandstone or sandstone with interbedded shale autocthonous blocks as well as chert exotic blocks. The largest of the exotic blocks is 1.5 km. long, and crops out in the town of El Terrero. This chert block is intruded by microgabbro dikes, from which 13 samples were analyzed. Petrography, XRF, ICPMS, XRD and microprobe analyses were done in order to characterize the tectonic setting of the mafic rocks. Whole rock major and trace element analysis, including rare earth element analysis, allowed us to characterize two groups of samples. Group I comprises microgabbro with abundant clinopyroxene and albite and scarce mica. Clinopyroxene shows rims of amphibole, and albite is partially replaced by hyalophane. Group I is enriched in Ba (9000 ppm) which is concentrated in micas and hyalophane. Group II is formed by Na feldspar-rich microgabbro with few relicts of clinopyroxene. All samples show geochemical signatures of typical enriched mantle source (oceanic island basalts), similar to those reported from recent oceanic island basalts on the Pacific Ocean floor. Microgabbro dikes described in this paper have geochemical signatures similar to those of mafic rocks that form exotic blocks within an accretionary prism in northern Zacatecas State. This and other similarities suggest that both localities belong to the same accretionary prism of regional extent. Our results show that the exotic block of El Terrero contains dikes of geochemical affinity, We consider that shallow subduction fluids altered the microgabbro dikes during accretion, originating large ion lithophile elements enrichment (mainly Ba and K).

In this work we carried out a comparative study of the Spanish Civil Code with the Italian one in relation to the right to increase heritage between brothers. To this end, we first analyze the concept of the right to increase, depending on how the doctrine has configured it, either as an effect, a faculty or a right. Next, we analyze the right to increase in intestate succession, and then to analyze it in the testated succession. Within the testamentary estate succession we study the requirements for the accretion to take place: plural appeal, joint appeal to the same inheritance or to the same portion of it, and that some of the calls do not happen, analysing the different vacancy scenarios within the latter requirement. We also look at whether it is possible to accretion the level of legitimacy, improvement and free disposal. Finally, we analyze the effects that accretion produces. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
