    This chapter shows how organic fertilizers can provide essential nutrients soluble to plants, so as to be used in hydroponic systems in its various forms. Such materials are an important source of macro- and micronutrients. This form of plant nutrition can contribute to the sustainable production of food, both in developed and developing countries. Nutrient solutions can be formulated when soluble nutrients are extracted from the solid phase of organic manure. In some vegetables, equal yields, or sometimes higher, have been obtained in nutritive solutions formulated with synthetic chemical fertilizers. It has also been documented that the resulting edible products can be of a better nutraceutical quality. Ions can be obtained by means of preparations based on teas, extracts, leachates, digestate, urine, aquaculture, etc. Subsequently they must be diluted in water until reaching a level of electrical conductivity according to the tolerance levels of the crop to be established. The heterogeneity of the chemical composition of the solutions obtained is the main point that must be attended with the greatest possible precision to formulate the nutritive solutions and obtain satisfactory results. Therefore, it is necessary to measure the concentration of macro- and micronutrients (NO3−, NH4+, SO4=, H2PO4−, K+, Ca++, Mg++, Fe+++, Cu++, Mn++, Zn++, Cl−) as well as the Na+ ion (which is usually at high levels); it will also be necessary to adjust the pH. In addition, the chapter presents a broad overview and a series of research results in recent years: composition of solutions, nutrient supplements, substrates, and floating root trials in tomato, lettuce, cantaloupe melon, and green fodder. The environmental implications of inappropriate formulations are also analyzed. The nutritious solution, formulated from organic fertilizers, is not only an alternative for the nutrition of agricultural crops, but it also represents a more efficient way to use these resources

    Disinformation emerges as a worldwide phenomenon that affects public opinion. The article’s purpose is to analyze the contents evaluated as disinformation by three fact-checking media during Colombia’s national strike (November 21st, 2019). Specifically, the objective is to understand how disinformation negatively affects the intangible assets (legitimacy, reputation, and trust) of social & political actors, and institutions. Methodologically, we carried out both quantitative and ethnographic content analysis to analyze data and, identify the prominent arguments and relationships. Through this, we linked the disinformation and the costs of the intangible assets associated with these actors and institutions. The results highlight that the disinformation contents’ key drivers were the violence and punishable acts that affected both social actors and the Public Force, particularly the Esmad and the police. These contents delegitimized and discredited both the reasons for the protest and the function of guaranteeing public order and security. Regarding the disinformation linked to political actors, the leader of the left-side was the most affected due to inaccurate content that polarized and proclaimed extreme positions close to subversion. Finally, we discuss the implications of disinformation and how it affects legitimacy, reputation, and trust. Moreover, disinformation imitates media outlet aesthetics as a necessity of a kind of legitimacy and credibility set of news practice in the eye of the beholder. La desinformación se ha convertido en un fenómeno mundial que incide en la opinión pública. El objetivo de este artículo es analizar los contenidos evaluados como desinformación por tres medios de verificación durante el paro nacional del 21 de noviembre del 2019. Específicamente, se pretende conocer cómo la desinformación afecta negativamente los bienes intangibles (legitimidad, reputación y confianza) de actores sociales, políticos e instituciones. Metodológicamente, se realizó un análisis de contenido cuantitativo y etnográfico para analizar los datos e identificar argumentos y patrones de relación de la desinformación con su afectación en la intangibilidad de estos clústeres de actores. Los resultados obtenidos destacan que la desinformación propagada vinculó la violencia y los actos punibles tanto a los actores sociales como a la fuerza pública, especialmente al Esmad y a la policía, con el fin de deslegitimar y desacreditar las razones de la protesta o bien su labor de garantizar el orden público y la seguridad. Respecto a la desinformación vinculada con los actores políticos se observa que el líder de la izquierda fue el más afectado por contenidos que polarizaban y proclamaban posiciones extremas cercanas a la subversión. Por último, se discuten las implicaciones de la desinformación en la ciudadanía y cómo incide sobre la legitimidad, reputación y confianza. Además, se evidencia que la desinformación imita la estética de medios de comunicación para dotarse de una falsa legitimidad y credibilidad ante los ojos de la audiencia.A desinformação se há convertido em um fenômeno mundial que infringe na opinião pública.O objetivo desse artigo é analisar os conteúdos vistos como desinformação por ter meios deverificação durante a greve nacional do dia 21 de novembro de 2019.

    Poster presentado en el SIBIC 2022 IX Iberian Congress of IchthyologyThe capture of a female specimen of the velvet belly lantern shark Etmopterus spinax with abnormal skin coloration is reported. The specimen was captured off northern Spain (Bay of Biscay, North-Eastern Atlantic) in 2021 by bottom trawling. The lack of dermal melanophores combined with a normal retinal pigmentation, lead us to considérate the specimen as leucistic. This is the first case of leucism in E. spinax and the second record of colour aberration in the family Etmopteridae

    A political ecology of green territorialization: frontier expansion and conservation in the Colombian Amazon

    Get PDF
    After decades of civil war, the Colombian government has recently declared the Amazon as a model region for green growth and low carbon development. The Amazon Vision programme, launched by the Colombian government in 2016, seeks to contribute to forest conservation, climate mitigation, poverty reduction and peace building. The Amazon Vision fundamentally reframes the Colombian Amazon from a ‘narco frontier’ that needs to be liberated from guerrilla influence, organized crime and peasants destroying forests for coca cultivation, to a net CO2 sink with enormous potential for green growth and poverty reduction. Drawing on historical and empirical qualitative research in Guaviare and complemented by a quantitative land cover classification, this article builds on the concept of ‘green territoriality’ to investigate the extent to which the shift towards conservation affects property rights and the ability of indigenous groups and peasants to access land and natural resources. We illustrate how the reframing of peasants from protagonists of development and frontier expansion to villains, and of indigenous communities from underdeveloped forest dwellers to environmental guardians, has created land conflicts and affected the legitimacy of their respective property rights. In both cases, the Amazon Vision strengthens conservation policies and challenges existing land rights but also creates new windows of opportunity for the land claims of indigenous communities while reinforcing conceptualizations of social differentiation among dwellers of the Amazon

    Knock-Down of Specific Thyroid Hormone Receptor Isoforms Impairs Body Plan Development in Zebrafish

    Get PDF
    The role of thyroid hormones (THs) in development has been extensively studied, however, the specific molecular mechanisms involved are far from being clear. THs act by binding to TH nuclear receptors (TR) that act as ligand-dependent transcription factors to regulate TH-dependent gene expression. Like vertebrates, zebrafish express different isoforms of functional Tr alpha and beta, some of which can bind alternative ligands like 3,5-T2. In this study, we first analyzed the effects of exogenous T3 and 3,5-T2 exposure during embryogenesis. The percentage of affected embryos was similar to those vehicle-injected, suggesting that the early exposure to low TH levels is not sufficient to elicit effects upon the phenotype of the embryo. We then generated crispants for four isoforms of thr to learn more about the role of these receptors in early development. We found that crispant larvae from thraa and a newly identified l-thrb+, but not thrab and canonical thrb1 showed profound deleterious effects upon symmetry and laterality, suggesting early novel roles for these Tr isoforms in the body plan developmental program. Since critical events that determine cell fate start in the late gastrula, we tested if some genes that are expressed during early developmental stages could indeed be TH targets. We identify early development genes, like sox10 and eve, that were specifically over-expressed in thraa and l-thrb+ crispants, suggesting that these specific thr isoforms function as transcription repressors for these genes, while transcription of zic and ets appear to be thraa and l-thrb+-mediated, respectively. Overall, present results show that TH signaling participates in early zebrafish development and identify Tr isoform-specific mediated regulation of early gene expression

    En México, la turba de Sphagnum (peat moss), es el principal sustrato utilizado para la producción de plántulas de hortalizas en bandeja de poliestireno, su precio es elevado por ser de importación, lo que hace necesario estudiar alternativas de menor costo. Por lo anterior, se propone mezclar la turba con materiales orgánicos de origen local como la gallinaza (G) y biosólido (B) para producir plántulas de pepino (Cucumis sativus L.) y calabacita (Cucurbita pepo L.). Ocho mezclas de material orgánico-turba fueron evaluadas para cada especie: 1) 4% G + 96% turba; 2) 8% G + 92% turba; 3) 12% G + 88% turba; 4) 16% G + 84% turba; 5) 4% B + 96% turba; 6) 8% B + 92% turba; 7) 12% B + 88% turba; 8) 16% B + 84% turba, el tratamiento testigo fue 100% turba. En los resultados se destaca, en pepino, la mezcla con 16% de biosólido que afectó positivamente en unidades SPAD (Soil Plant Analysis Development), diámetro de tallo y área foliar, mientras que la mezcla con 12% de gallinaza aumentó peso seco de parte aérea y total (P ≤ 0,05). En calabacita, la mezcla con 16% de gallinaza incrementó área foliar (P ≤ 0,05). En las variables de altura, peso seco de raíz y balance de plántula no se encontraron diferencias significativas en ambas especies y mezclas. Se concluye que mezclas de turba europea (peat moss) con gallinaza o biosólido, son una importante alternativa técnica y económica para la producción de plántulas en pepino y calabacita.In Mexico, Sphagnum turbe (peat moss) is the main substrate used for the production of vegetable seedlings in polystyrene trays. It is imported and thus has an elevated price, therefore some lower cost alternatives need to be addressed. This work proposes a mixture of peat with local organic materials as poultry manure (PM) and biosolid (B) to produce cucumber (Cucumis sativus L.) and zucchini (Cucurbita pepo L.) seedlings. Eight mixtures of organic material-peat were evaluated for each species: 1) 4% PM + 96% peat; 2) 8% PM + 92% peat; 3) 12% PM + 88% peat; 4) 16% PM + 84% peat; 5) 4% B + 96% peat; 6) 8% B + 92% peat; 7) 12% B + 88% peat; 8) 16% B + 84% peat, and 100% peat as control. Compared with the control, the mixture with 16% of biosolid affected positively SPAD (Soil Plant Analysis Development) units, stem diameter and leaf area in cucumber seedlings, while the mixture with 12% of poultry manure increased aerial and total dry weight (P ≤ 0.05). In zucchini, the mixture with 16% of poultry manure increased leaf area (P ≤ 0.05). No significant differences were found in height, root dry weight and seedling balance in both species and mixtures. We concluded that use of peat moss mixed with poultry manure or biosolid represents an important technical and economic alternative for cucumber and zucchini seedling production.Fil: Carballo Méndez, Fernando de Jesús.
