ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficiency of the porous ceramic cup extractors, associated with ion meters, for the determination of nutrients availability for bell pepper and melon crops in substrate. Substrate solution was acquired using aqueous extract 1:1.5 (v/v) and also the porous ceramic cup extractor. Electrical conductivity (EC), pH and macronutrient contents were determined for the substrate solution through analytical method. The concentrations of NO- and K+ in the solutions obtained with porous ceramic cup extractors, and the N and K contents in the diagnostic leaf for nutritional evaluation were also determined. The concentrations of NO3- and K+ using the porous ceramic cup extractors have strong correlation (r=0.96 and 0.92, respectively) with the ones obtained using the standard method, as well as a moderate correlation (r=0.65) and a strong one (r=0.71) with contents of N and K, respectively, in the melon diagnostic leaf; and a weak correlation (r=0.36 and 0.26, respectively) in the bell pepper diagnostic leaf. The use of porous ceramic cup extractors for obtaining the substrate solution and the determination of the N-NO- and K+ contents by means of specific ion meters are a fast method of evaluating nutrients availability in soilless cultures.

ABSTRACT Cordia oncocalyx Allemão Baill., widely known as “pau-branco”, is a native species from the Caatinga (Brazilian Savannah) and has socioeconomic and environmental potential; however, there are few silvicultural studies on this species. Therefore, this paper aimed to analyze and compare the biometric characteristics of diaspores and seeds through manual biometrics and by digital image processing, and to evaluate the in vitro and ex vitro germination of C. oncocalyx. In the biometrics evaluation, three hundred diaspores and three hundred seeds were used, applying manual and digital biometrics. Subsequently, ex vitro emergence was determined, testing mechanical scarification (in different regions of the diaspore) and chemical scarification (immersion in sulfuric acid for 90 min and 180 min). Finally, in vitro germination was tested with different compositions of Murashige & Skoog (M&S) culture medium and sucrose addition. Results showed that digital image processing is a viable and fast technique to obtain the biometric parameters of C. oncocalyx fruit and seeds. Chemical and mechanical treatments on diaspores have not influenced seed emergence (0.33%). The composition of the culture medium has influenced the germination percentage, and the maximum value of 96% % was obtained with 6 g/L of sucrose and 0.90 g/L of M&S medium. Thus, the seminiferous propagation of C. oncocalyx can be performed successfully when the seeds are germinated in vitro, and the digital image processing shows the solidity and applicability aiming to evaluate the quantitative parameters of seed and fruit of this species.

ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to identify communities of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) in soils under pasture, silvopasture, and Cerrado forest ecosystems, and evaluate the effects of land use system, soil texture, and seasonality on the dynamics of AMF communities, in Alta Floresta D'Oeste, Rondônia, Brazil. Samples of the soil 0-20 cm layer were randomly collected in each ecosystem in July, 2010 (dry season) and January, 2011 (rainy season). Spores were extracted, counted, and identified. The spore density and density of each species of AMF were estimated. The frequency of occurrence, Shannon diversity index, and Simpson diversity index were calculated for each species. Multivariate clustering analysis was carried out, considering the number of AMF of each species. The results showed a trend of higher number of spores in the Cerrado forest ecosystem, regardless of the soil texture or season, when compared to pasture and silvopasture areas. The Glomus macrocarpum species presented 100% frequency of occurrence in the rainy season in both soil textures. The effects of texture and seasonality on the composition and diversity of AMF communities was more expressive in the Cerrado forest ecosystem. The climate, soil texture, and land use and management affected the composition and diversity of AMF species.

ABSTRACT The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of combinations of nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium doses on the production components of custard-apple irrigated with saline waters. The experiment was conducted in a greenhouse, using a Neossolo Regolítico (Entisol) of clay loam texture in Campina Grande-PB, Brazil. The treatments were distributed in a randomized block design, in a 2 × 8 factorial scheme, with three replicates, corresponding to two levels of electrical conductivity of water - ECw (0.8 and 3.0 dS m-1) and eight combinations of fertilization with nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium (100-100-100; 100-100-125; 100-125-100; 100-125-125; 125-100-100; 125-100-125; 125-125-100 and 125-125-125% of the recommendation, for the third year of cultivation). The combination of 100-100-100% corresponded to 100, 60 and 60 g of N, P2O5, K2O per plant per year, respectively. High concentrations of salts in the irrigation water reduced the number of fruits, fresh fruit mass, total number of seeds and mass of seeds of custard-apple. Plants achieved the best development when grown under 125-100-100, 125-125-125 and 100-100-100% combinations of N-P-K recommendation. Irrigation with ECw of 3.0 dS m-1 associated with the 100-125-125% combination of fertilization increased the average mass and height of the custard-apple fruits.

ABSTRACT Absence of drainage associated with high evapotranspiration and irregular precipitations contributes to the accumulation of salts in the soil, reducing nutrient absorption and yield. Nutritional management is important for the crop to express its maximum production potential, and nitrogen is the macronutrient most required by the corn crop. The objective of this study was to evaluate yield and leaf contents in corn under different nitrogen fertilization recommendations and salt stress. The experiment was conducted from June to September 2019, at the University of International Integration of Afro-Brazilian Lusophony in Redenção-CE, Brazil. The experimental design used was completely randomized, in a 2 x 3 factorial arrangement, with 6 replicates, with two levels of electrical conductivity (0.3 dS m-1 and 3.0 dS m-1) and three nitrogen fertilization recommendations (0, 50 and 100% of the recommendation). The variables analyzed were unhusked ear weight, husked ear weight, yield and leaf contents of N, P, K, Ca, Mg and Na. Irrigation with saline water (3.0 dS m-1) reduces the unhusked ear weight, husked ear weight and yield. Nitrogen fertilization recommendations of 50% and 100% promoted higher values of unhusked ear weight, husked ear weight and leaf N contents, but reduced leaf P contents. The 50% and 100% recommendations promote higher yield values for the two levels of electrical conductivity studied (0.3 and 3.0 dS m-1). The 50% and 100% recommendations associated with saline water irrigation increased the leaf contents of K, Na, Mg and Ca.

ABSTRACT The study of drying kinetics is fundamental for making the correct choice of time and temperature to be used in the drying process. In addition, mathematical modeling enables the simulation, optimization, sizing, and determination of the commercial application of the drying system. Therefore, the objective of this study was to investigate the kinetics and mathematical modeling of the drying process of macaúba almond [Acrocomia aculeata (Jacq.) Lodd. ex Mart] performed at different temperatures. For this purpose, the drying was performed under three different temperatures: 40 °C, 50 °C, and 60 °C. Four repetitions were performed for each temperature. The experimental data were fitted by nine different mathematical models. The choice of the best model was based on the following statistical parameters: magnitude of the adjusted coefficient of determination, magnitude of the mean relative error, and standard error of the estimate. It was observed that an increase in the drying temperature resulted in a reduction of drying time. The shortest drying time was observed in the treatment performed under 60 °C in which the almonds attained equilibrium moisture content at 34.08 h. The longest drying time was observed in the treatment performed under 40 °C, with the almonds attaining equilibrium moisture content at 404.40 h. Approximation of Diffusion, Midilli, Page, and Modified Page were the models that best described the drying process of macaúba almonds with the aim of subsidizing the design of industrial dryers.

ABSTRACT Considering the losses of phosphorus (P) in the soil by the adsorption process and that the use of biochar seems promising from the agricultural point of view, the aim of this research was to evaluate P adsorption by the Ultisol incubated with different biochar doses through kinetic and isothermal study. The experiment was carried out with poultry litter biochar pyrolyzed at 350 °C. Ultisol was incubated with increasing biochar doses, from 0.0 to 61.95 t ha-1. After 60 days, the phosphorus adsorption rate, kinetics and adsorption isotherms were evaluated. The results showed that the soil had the highest capacity to adsorb phosphorus (1.105 mg g-1). Biochar was not a good P adsorbent; regardless of the applied doses, it released P to the equilibration solution. Langmuir model was better at describing the adsorption of P. The pseudo-second order model fitted well to the adsorption kinetics of P, showing that the adsorption is chemically controlled. These results suggest that biochar can increase the availability of P, limiting adsorption; therefore, it could be used as a fertilizer and/or soil conditioner.

ABSTRACT The storage life of ‘Alexander Lucas’ pear is limited by the occurrence of internal storage disorders during controlled atmosphere (CA). 1-Methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) can be used to delay pear ripening, however, its interaction with CA conditions is not well understood. ‘Alexander Lucas’ fruit were treated with 1-MCP at 300 nL L-1 for 24 h in air at-0.5 or 1.0 °C before being stored. Fruit were kept at-0.5 or 1.0 °C in normal air or CA (2.0 kPa O2 plus <0.7 kPa CO2). After six months of storage, superficial scald did not develop in fruit. The highest incidence of flesh browning (72.2 %) was found in air-stored fruit at-0.5 °C without 1-MCP treatment. Storage in air at 1.0 °C plus 300 nL L-1 1-MCP produced 88.8 % of healthy fruit. In contrast, 1-MCP increased the incidence of flesh and core browning under CA conditions. 1-MCP and CA maintained greener skin color and higher titratable acidity. No significant differences were found for fruit firmness, total soluble solids and ascorbic acid content between the treatments. In conclusion, the quality of ‘Alexander Lucas’ pear was best maintained during six months storage under normal air at 1.0 °C combined with 300 nL L-1 1-MCP treatment.

ABSTRACT This study aimed to validate the artificial hybridization without emasculation in lima beans, identifying F1 generation using microsatellite markers (SSR). We used four accessions from the Active Germplasm Bank of Phaseolus, Universidade Federal do Piauí (BGP-UFPI), with contrasting growth habits and days-to-maturity traits. The 241 crosses performed had a percentage of hybrid pods of 5.8%, obtaining 42 seeds in F1. Artificial cross-fertilization was confirmed by microsatellite markers (BM 211, BM 141, BM 154, and GAT 591), and four plants were identified as hybrids. Thus, the proposed method is effective in performing artificial crosses for lima beans.

ABSTRACT Handroanthus impetiginosus is a tree species with ecological and economic potential. Despite that, in the Brazilian market, its wood is heavily exploited in the illegal trade. Therefore, studies on genetic diversity are necessary in order to propose strategies for conservation of this species. Thus, the aim of this study was to select Inter Simple Sequence Repeat (ISSR) primers for genetic diversity studies applied to the forest population of H. impetiginosus. For this, 30 ISSR molecular primers were tested in 30 individuals, evaluating the total number of loci, polymorphism rate and polymorphic information content, as well as marker index and resolving power. Eight primers were selected for having a better amplification pattern, which provided 62 loci. The polymorphic information content of the primers ranged from 0.34 to 0.49, while the marker index (MI) averaged 3.20, with resolving power (RP) of 2.40, Nei’s diversity (He) of 0.35 and Shannon index (I) of 0.52. The results show that the primers UBC 807, 809, 818, 824, 857, 860, 873 and 881 are efficient for quantifying the genetic diversity of H. impetiginosus. These results can contribute to supporting strategies aimed at the conservation of this species and selection of parent trees.

Published: February 2022

This paper provides information regarding the application of niobium in industry and the scale of its production in the world and the Russian Federation. Most of the niobium deposits in Russia consist of pyrochlore, apatitepyrochlore and columbitepyrochlore types of ores. They contain a significant amount of phosphorus. Therefore, all enrichment schemes for these ores contain a dephosphorization stage which increases the price of the product and reduces the degree of niobium extraction. The paper explores the possibility of improving the end-to-end production scheme: niobium ore – beneficiation – niobium ferroalloy. The bulk of ferroniobium is intended for steel microalloying and can be replaced by complex ferroalloys with a reduced niobium content. The paper considers the issues of obtaining complex niobium ferroalloys from a rough concentrate with a weak content of niobium. It has been established that the addition of 25 – 40 % of silicon or 12 – 30 % of aliminum to the twocomponent metal system Fe – Nb causes the transfer of niobium ferroalloys (15 – 20 % Nb) from the refractory category to lowmelting materials. The crystallization temperatures are less than 1400 °C. The substantiation of using a complex niobium ferroalloy instead of ferroniobium is given. This alloy has reduced niobium content and increased silicon or aluminum content. Higher service characteristics of the complex ferroalloy are noted in comparison with ferroniobium (temperature of the initiation of crystallization and density). They indicate an increased assimilation of niobium when using a complex ferroalloy for steel microalloying. The paper presents data on the possibility of dephosphorization of niobium concentrates in the process of pyrometallurgical production of a complex ferroalloy. An improved scheme for the production of niobiumcontaining ferroalloys is proposed. This consists of the use of niobium concentrate for melting the intermediate ferroalloy containing a reduced concentration of niobium oxides and an increased concentration of silicon (aluminum). This ferroalloy can be used effectively for steel microalloying with niobium.
Study of bending of plate steel with a through-the-thickness gradient of strength properties
Authors: Maksimov A. B , Pronina Yu. G.
Published: February 2022

The paper considers the studies of bending of a plate made of A32 ship steel with a through-the-thickness gradient of strength properties. The grading was produced by accelerated one-sided cooling of the plate from the austenitic area. As a result, a spectrum of microstructures was formed over the thickness of the plate: from ferrite-bainite on the cooled surface to ferrite-perlite on the other. During elastic-plastic bending of a steel plate with a homogeneous microstructure, the neutral surface shifts towards the compressed fibers, which is explained by the greater resistance of the material to compression than to tension. The purpose of this work was to develop a finite plastic deformation model of bending of a steel plate with tension/ compression (T/C) asymmetry and a strength gradient to confirm the expediency of one-sided thermal reinforcement of rolled sheets. It is confirmed that the displacement of the neutral surface caused by T/C asymmetry depends on the asymmetry ratio and does not depend on the steel microstructure, and is directed towards the compressed fibers. The displacement caused by the strength gradient depends on the absolute value of this gradient and is directed towards it. Calculations revealed that the critical bending moment for a plate made of A32 steel with a strength gradient is not less than that for the normalized and thermally hardened (by quenching and tempering ) states, at any direction of the strength gradient with respect to the bending direction. It is concluded that the proposed technology of thermal reinforcement of heavy-plate rolled products made of carbon and low-alloy steels using accelerated one-sided cooling provides mechanical properties not worse than for the thermally hardened state. This saves up to 40 % of cooling water.
Soviet metallurgy in the eyes of American metallurgists: the second half of the 1950s

Published: February 2022

The article reveals one small page in the development of metallurgical science and technology in the Soviet Union, namely, the history of establishing scientific contacts between American and Soviet metallurgical scientists in the second half of the 1950s. Unto middle of 1950s the successful recovery of the USSR economy after the war ended with a scientific and technological breakthrough in the field of atomic and space technologies. This significantly strengthened the political and humanitarian authority of the USSR in the eyes of the world community, making the country attractive for scientific and technical cooperation. The rush of the Soviet atom and rocketry would have been impossible without high achievements in the basic sectors of the economy, such as metallurgy. The United States and its Western European allies came to understand the prospects of limited scientific and technical cooperation with the USSR and the unproductiveness of the policy of its isolation. The establishment of scientific and business contacts with Soviet metallurgical enterprises, research institutes and educational institutions forced the Americans to critically rethink their own achievements in the industry.
Using the iNaturalist application to identify reports of Green Iguanas (Iguana iguana) on the mainland United States of America outside of populations in Florida
Authors: Mo Matthew , Mo Elouise
Published: February 2022

Presently, the only established populations of invasive Green Iguanas (Iguana iguana) on the mainland USA occur in Florida. We examined observation data from the online citizen-science application iNaturalist to determine the frequency of reports of free-living Green Iguanas in Florida and identify where iguanas have been reported in other parts of the mainland USA. Observations from Florida comprised 99.6% of the 5,929 verified Green Iguana observations from the mainland USA. The largest proportion were observations from 2016 to 2021, corresponding with an increasing number of application users contributing to the dataset during this period. The majority of Green Iguana observations from latitudes of 27–41°N in 11 other mainland states were from California. However, we noted no obvious concentrations of sightings to indicate the presence of established populations in any of those 11 states. The majority of observations from outside Florida were adults and were most frequently reported from suburbia and urban parks, suggesting that released or escaped pets were the likely source. More than one third of iguanas reported outside Florida were near water, which is worrisome because iguanas are known to use waterways to disperse. This study clearly demonstrates the value of public participation in assembling sighting records of non-native animals, and we encourage engagement campaigns that leverage reports from members of the public to achieve early detections of potentially invasive species.

Anthrax outbreaks are very frequent and recurrent in the Rubirizi district in landing sites along the Kazinga channel in the Queen Elizabeth National Park in Uganda. This has persistently caused huge losses of domestic and wild animals and increased public health risks to communities. A participatory disease search (PDS) was thus conducted to identify risk factors that influence the recurrent occurrence of the outbreaks. Using PDS tools, including, Focus group discussion, Mapping, Seasonal calendars, Timelines and Pairwise ranking, local communities were engaged to recall detailed information regarding previous anthrax outbreaks. The number of persons that participated in focus group discussions ranged from 16 in Kazinga landing site to 22 in Katunguru, 18 in Kashaka landing site and 20 in Kishenyi landing site The findings revealed anthrax outbreaks had been reported previously in Katunguru, Kyabakara, Katera, Kingu and Ryeyu sub-counties of Rubirizi district that lie within or adjacent to the Queen Elizabeth National Park. The last anthrax outbreak occurred in 2014. Death of goats and sheep and wild animals, especially, hippopotami was reported in the landing sites of Kazinga, Katunguru, Kishenyi and Kashaka in Katunguru Subcounty. Uganda Wildlife Authority (UWA) established burial sites for carcasses of dead hippopotami in Kazinga and Kishenyi landing sites. Key risk factors associated with anthrax outbreaks (see attached ranks) in Rubirizi district included: (1) Frequent droughts and associated floods (2.5); (2) Dwelling in landing sites normally used as burial areas for carcasses of dead animals by Uganda Wildlife Authority (2.8); (3) Free movement of goats and sheep and intermingling with wildlife at landing sites along Kazinga channel (3.0); (4) Community habit of eating the meat of dead wild or domestic animals (3.8); (5) Communities eating not well-cooked meat (4.0); (6) Ignorance among communities regarding anthrax and its mode of spread (4.8); (7) Frequent migration of communities from landing sites with low to those with a high risk of anthrax disease (6.5); (8) Grazing domestic animals in close proximity with wildlife in the Game Park (6.8); (9) Communities consuming game meat (8.0); and (10) Frequent occurrence of anthrax outbreaks and spread of anthrax spores through floods and existing water bodies (8.3). In conclusion, the PDS case study successfully identified risk factors associated with anthrax outbreaks in Katunguru Subcounty of Rubirizi district in Uganda. Sensitization of communities on anthrax, its mode of spread and effective and sustainable control was recommended in order to contain anthrax outbreaks.

Preservation of samples requiring cold-chain storage is an often unavoidable challenge especially when doing laboratory work outside the western world. Samples are a precious commodity and it is imperative to maintain their viability. One method for collection and storage of samples in a liquid form (blood, saliva, serum) at room temperature is on filter paper cards like the Cellabs Tropbio Filter Paper Blood Collection Disks™. Methods and protocols exist for the use and recovery of whole blood from filter paper discs. This protocol describes the wash and recovery of DNA extracted from whole blood using the Qiagen DNeasy Extraction kit and dried on filter paper, re-suspended after several months of room temperature storage and use in conventional PCR. This protocol was used to suspend DNA extracted from the wholeblood of Dogs in Cairo, Egypt. The DNA was extracted using the Qiagen DNEasy Extraction Kit and placed on Cellabs Tropbio Filter Paper Blood Collection Disks™ (filter paper). The DNA dried on the filter paper overnight and was stored in plastic self-closure baggies for several months before being washed off and used in Conventional PCR. The use case described here is of a dog who was PCR positive for Babesia spp. using a sample of whole blood washed from the filter paper as well as dried DNA from filter paper.

Published: February 2022

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis is a neurodegenerative disease with a steady and rapid progression, manifested, in addition to the loss of strength of the muscles of the limbs and trunk, the development of fatal bulbar and respiratory disorders. Due to the need for early detection of this pathology, a large number of diagnostic tests have been proposed, which make it possible to suspect a motor neuron disease in a patient with a high probability. However, due to the polymorphic clinical picture of the disease, currently there are diagnostic situations in which existing methods do not allow to establish a reliable diagnosis or it becomes possible only at the later stages of the disease. This review examines the modern possibilities of ultrasound examination of peripheral nerves and muscles in the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.

Vascular myelopathy is a variant of acute or subacute lesions of the spinal cord as a result of circulatory disorders in the local vascular basin or hemodynamic changes in the vessels of distant localization.A clinical case of a patient with vascular myelopathy at the thoracic level is presented, the anamnesis of the disease, the results of examination and instrumental research methods with an assessment of the significance of diagnostic transcranial magnetic stimulation at the onset of the disease are presented.The purpose of this publication is to demonstrate the informative value of diagnostic transcranial magnetic stimulation and magnetic resonance imaging in the onset of vascular myelopathy of the spinal cord.A clinical case of a patient with vascular myelopathy at the thoracic level is presented, the history of the disease, the results of examination and instrumental methods of investigation are considered, with an assessment of the significance of diagnostic transcranial magnetic stimulation in the onset of the disease. A review of the literature was carried out in order to assess the information content of neurophysiological and neuroimaging studies in vascular myelopathy. In patients with onset of spinal cord infarction, the study of motor evoked potentials can demonstrate the involvement of cortico-spinal projections even in the absence of neuroimaging data of their damage during 48 hours.The transcranial magnetic stimulation with the analysis of motor evoked potentials is a reliable tool for diagnosing damage to cortico-spinal projections in the onset of vascular myelopathy.
Responsibility of states for the obligations of legal entities exercising public authority in the order of delegation
Authors: Slesarev V. L. , Kravets V. D.
Published: February 2022

The relevance of the research topic is due to the large-scale administrative reform in the Russian Federation, one of the trends of which was the delegation of public authority to legal entities. In such conditions, it is of particular importance to study the issues of civil liability of public authorities, the restorative nature of which can be used to increase the guarantees of the rights and legitimate interests of citizens and legal entities acting as a “subordinate” party in power relations.The paper criticizes the tendency to abandon the subsidiary liability of public legal entities for the obligations of created legal entities. The existence of such responsibility, according to the authors, is due to the preservation of organizational and functional ties between the subjects under consideration. The necessity of expanding the scope of Article 1069 of the Civil Code by extending it to persons exercising public authority in the order of delegation is argued; proposals are made for the use of the institute of liability insurance.
Inheritance of the common property of spouses under a joint will and inheritance contract
Authors: Ulybin V. A.
Published: February 2022

The article examines the special legal nature of a joint will of spouses and an inheritance contract with the participation of both spouses on the side of the testator, which can be both the basis for the inheritance of the spouses’ common property (inheritance-legal effect), and the basis for the emergence of property rights from the surviving spouse without inheritance (property legal effect). The systematic interpretation of the norms of civil law on a joint will (inheritance) contract leads the author to the conclusion that only the joint property of the spouses can be included in the inheritance mass under a joint will (inheritance contract with the participation of both spouses on the side of the testator).

The Concept of Sustainable Development and International Environmental Law
Authors: Sokolova N. A.
Published: February 2022

The article is devoted to the influence of the concept of sustainable development on international environmental law. This concept, in many ways, sets guidelines for the adoption of its norms and thereby defines the contours of legal environmental regimes. Based on the analysis of international UN documents, starting with the Stockholm Declaration of 1972, then the RIO 92 Declaration, the Johannesburg Declaration of 2002, the Millennium Declaration and the Sustainable Development Goals, the evolution of the concept of sustainable development, the shift in emphasis in its content and the desire for integration between the three dimensions of sustainable development — economic, social and environmental interests — for all states is presented. The article identifies several aspects that determine the importance of the concept of sustainable development for international environmental law: 1) the content of sustainable development in the context of State obligations; 2) the mutual influence of advisory acts and norms of international environmental law on the specification and implementation of the concept of sustainable development; 3) the interaction of various branches of international law in the context of sustainable development.

(2010) y en Donde muere la muerte, colección incorporada a la antología consultada realizada por Alejandro Duque Amusco (2017). Estos textos, cuya retracción formal da cuenta de la inminencia de una poética del final, no son sino otra sostenida variación de la melodía esencial que atraviesa desde el principio el proyecto creador brineano: la despedida una y otra vez ensayada, iluminada por ramalazos de empecinado vitalismo.PALABRAS CLAVE: poesía española; Francisco Brines; Elegías a M.

Variantes de autor en la poesía de Jon Juaristi
Authors: Olay Valdés Rodrigo
Published: February 2022

RESUMEN: En el presente trabajo nos proponemos sistematizar todas las variantes de autor introducidas por Jon Juaristi en la edición en prensa de sus poesías reunidas, titulada Derrotero. Antes de ello, examinamos los distintos ejemplos de reescritura de catorce poemas de Juaristi desde su inicial publicación en revista hasta que, con las oportunas modificaciones, pasaron a formar parte de alguno de sus libros. En concreto, se analizan los cambios introducidos por el poeta en dos poemas de Arte de marear, dos de Los paisajes domésticos, dos de Tiempo desapacible, tres de Prosas (en verso) y cinco de Renta antigua. Tanto las variantes insertas en estos textos como en la nueva edición de la poesía reunida del poeta nos permiten concluir que Jon Juaristi solo modifica, en la inmensa mayoría de los casos, cuestiones de detalle con objeto de mejorar el cómputo silábico, hacer más preciso el sentido de algún pasaje, allanar alguna referencia cultural levemente remota o suavizar un esguince conceptista de interpretación costosa.PALABRAS CLAVE: Jon Juaristi; crítica textual; variantes de autor; métrica.
"Sellar la vida en lo mejor que tuvo": El otoño de las rosas, de Francisco Brines
Authors: Díaz de Castro Francisco
Published: February 2022

RESUMEN: En este trabajo se analizan los núcleos significativos de El otoño de las rosas, el libro con el que Francisco Brines alcanza en 1986 el estadio superior de su poesía. Como culminación de una trayectoria de absoluta coherencia que posteriormente La última costa (1995) y el póstumo Donde muere la muerte (2021) rubrican de manera definitiva, El otoño de las rosas amplía, clarifica y ahonda la poética sobre el juego de opuestos de toda su poesía. Se analiza la organización estructural de este extenso libro que, sin división en secciones, muestra una dialéctica esencial: lucidez y fervor, desengaño y empeño vitalista, soledad metafísica y erotismo se abordan desde una profunda reflexión sobre la temporalidad que culmina en unos poemas de honda y dramática indagación metafísica sobre el desamparo último del ser humano, la muerte y la conciencia de la nada.PALABRAS CLAVE: Francisco Brines; El otoño de las rosas; erotismo; naturaleza; tiempo; metafísica; poesía española contemporánea; poesía de los cincuenta.
