Abstract The development of forensic anthropology in Mexico, intimately related to the context of exacerbated violence, is exposed in different regions of our country from the 1960s to the present day. With a special emphasis on two wars, in which the Mexican State itself directed its forces against its own population. We speak about “dirty war” and the “war against drugs” as two episodes that favored crimes against humanity such as forced disappearance and disappearance by private individuals; these occurred in times that establish an intrinsic relationship with the development and application of forensic anthropology in matters of national security.

Resumen El desarrollo de la antropología forense en México se encuentra relacionada íntimamente con el contexto de violencia exacerbada, manifiesta en distintas regiones de nuestro país desde la década de los años sesenta del siglo XX hasta la actualidad. Con un especial énfasis en dos guerras, donde el propio Estado mexicano dirigió sus huestes contra su propia población, en este sentido, hablamos de la “guerra sucia” y de la “guerra contra el narco” como dos episodios que favorecieron crímenes de lesa humanidad como lo fue la desaparición forzada y, asimismo, la desaparición por particulares; acaecidas en temporalidades que establecen una relación intrínseca con el desarrollo y aplicación de la antropología forense en cuestiones de seguridad nacional.

Abstract The study made it possible to review the current regulations related to the attention and application of special education directed by UNESCO, which allows avoiding discrimination, segregation and labels as a starting point relevant to the right that one has as individuals. Social inclusion establishes the rights that everyone has in receiving and enjoying an education with a sufficient quality that promotes the maximum development of the potential of special educational training in Mexico. Inclusive education teachers who collaborate with students with a physical, hearing or mental disability, even with various limitations in their environment, sometimes do not have the essential conditions to develop their work activities, so the main objective of this research is to analyze the degree satisfaction and emotional factors of teachers with some type of disability that they present in their role in favor of special instruction in Mexico. This research is exploratory in the first instance because it allows increasing familiarity with the subject giving way to the descriptive one that allowed analyzing the degree of satisfaction of the 251 teachers with a disability who participated in the study. The results that were obtained argue the factors of importance such as the lack of understanding on the part of the school authorities and the importance of having sufficient experience in front of a group, for which it is concluded that the main causes that have limited the performance of the teachers are working conditions as well as isolation.

Resumen El presente estudio permitió revisar la normativa vigente relacionada con la atención y aplicación de la educación especial dirigida por la Unesco, la cual permite evitar la discriminación, la segregación y las etiquetas como un punto de partida relevante para el derecho que se tiene como individuos. La inclusión social establece los derechos que tienen todas y todos en la recepción y el gozo de una educación con una calidad suficiente que propicie el máximo desarrollo de las potencialidades de la formación educativa especial en México. Sin embargo, los maestros de educación incluyente que colaboran con estudiantes con alguna discapacidad física, auditiva o mental algunas veces no cuentan con los recursos mínimos para desarrollar sus actividades laborales. Por eso, el objetivo principal de esta investigación fue analizar el grado de satisfacción y los factores emocionales de los maestros con algún tipo de discapacidad que presentan en su rol a favor de la instrucción especial en México. Para ello, en primer lugar, se desarrolló un trabajo exploratorio para acercarse al tema estudiado; luego se analizó el grado de satisfacción de los 251 maestros con alguna discapacidad que participaron. Los resultados demuestran la falta de compresión de las autoridades escolares y la importancia de tener experiencia amplia frente a grupo. Por eso, se concluye que las principales causas que han limitado el desempeño de los docentes son las condiciones laborales y el aislamiento.

Resumo O presente estudo permitiu-nos rever a regulamentação vigente relativa ao cuidado e aplicação da educação especial dirigida pela UNESCO, o que nos permite evitar a discriminação, a segregação e os rótulos como ponto de partida relevante para o direito que temos como indivíduos. A inclusão social estabelece os direitos que todos têm de receber e desfrutar de uma educação de qualidade suficiente que promova o máximo desenvolvimento do potencial da formação educacional especial no México. No entanto, os professores de educação inclusiva que colaboram com alunos com deficiência física, auditiva ou mental, por vezes, não dispõem dos recursos mínimos para desenvolver as suas atividades laborais. Portanto, o objetivo principal desta pesquisa foi analisar o grau de satisfação e os fatores emocionais dos professores com algum tipo de deficiência que apresentam em sua função em favor da instrução especial no México. Para isso, primeiramente, foi desenvolvido um trabalho exploratório para abordagem do tema estudado; Em seguida, foi analisado o grau de satisfação dos 251 professores com alguma deficiência participantes. Os resultados demonstram a falta de compreensão das autoridades escolares e a importância de se ter ampla experiência com o grupo. Portanto, conclui-se que as principais causas que têm limitado a atuação dos professores são as condições de trabalho e o isolamento.

ABSTRACT Infectious sacroiliitis is a rare condition that is sometimes diagnosed late due to the poor specificity of the symptoms. In addition, imaging techniques such as scintigraphy, tomography, and nuclear magnetic resonance are required to assess the extent and severity of the lesions. If early diagnosis and treatment are made, the clinical evolution is satisfactory and leaves no sequelae. Clinical case: the case of an 83-year-old female patient is presented, with a history of ischemic cerebrovascular disease, high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes mellitus and urinary tract infection, who presented with moderately intense colic-like abdominal pain, afebrile, and reported that at the time After getting up from his chair he felt weakness in his left side. On admission, hypertensive, febrile with T°: 38°C SatO2: 98% with FiO2: 0.4. On physical examination, there was edema in MMII with pitting (+), distended abdomen, pain in the right flank and left hemiparesis. To the laboratory: hemoglobin 14.8 g/dl, platelets 38,000 μl, leukocytes 18,000 μl.

RESUMEN La sacroileítis infecciosa (SII) es una afección poco común que, en ocasiones, se diagnostica tarde por la escasa especificidad de los síntomas. Además, se requiere de técnicas de imagen como la gammagrafía, tomografía y la resonancia magnética nuclear para valorar la extensión y gravedad de las lesiones. Si se hace un diagnóstico y tratamiento precoz, la evolución clínica es satisfactoria y no deja secuelas. Se presenta el caso de una paciente mujer de 83 años, con antecedentes de enfermedad cerebrovascular isquémico, hipertensión arterial, diabetes mellitus 2 e infección del tracto urinario que presentó dolor abdominal tipo cólico de moderada intensidad, afebril; manifestó que al momento de levantarse de su silla sintió debilidad en el hemicuerpo izquierdo. Al ingreso, hipertensa, febril con T° 38°C SatO2: 98 % con FiO2: 0.4. Al examen físico con edema en MMII con fóvea (+), abdomen distendido, doloroso en flanco derecho y hemiparesia izquierda. Al laboratorio: hemoglobina 14,8 g/dl, plaquetas 38.000 μl. leucocitos 18.000 μl. Posteriormente, confirmando el diagnóstico clínico sustentado en radio imágenes, se procedió al abordaje quirúrgico. La SII es una enfermedad rara con complicaciones graves, cuyo diagnóstico precoz e inicio de tratamiento rápido son fundamentales, basándose principalmente en el cuadro clínico, estudios de imágenes y la duración adecuada de la terapia antibiótica.

ABSTRACT Nowadays, some capital budgeting techniques have been analyzed by investors in order to make investment decisions because risk takers usually evaluate some techniques, such as the return for projects, net present value for forecasted cash flows, the real-time that an investment can be recuperated, finance variables for sensitivity analysis, and cost of equity. Some methodologies exist; the most common ones are Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) and Gordon´s Wealth Growth model. So, evaluating the cost of equity is essential for risk analysis, but in recent years, some have written articles about hybrid and avant-garde methods that complement the analysis of cost-of-equity techniques. The research aims to show the importance of applying those methodologies that benefit international investors and finance scientific researchers who strive to develop advances in theories and models for the cost of equity evaluation. The methodology was bibliographic because it was necessary to investigate recent articles about those methods. Articles information was taken from the Web of Science database from 2017-2021. The number of articles selected was based on convenience sampling. The study shows the recent articles that have applied Hybrid and avant-garde methods in evaluating the cost of equity. Also, the purpose of each investigation and the explanation of the use of those methodologies.

RESUMEN Hoy en día, los inversionistas han analizado algunas técnicas de presupuesto de capital para tomar decisiones de inversión porque los tomadores de riesgo generalmente evalúan algunas técnicas, como el rendimiento de los proyectos, el valor presente neto para los flujos de efectivo pronosticados, el tiempo real en que se puede recuperar una inversión. , variables financieras para análisis de sensibilidad y costo de capital. Existen algunas metodologías; los más comunes son el modelo de fijación de precios de activos de capital (CAPM) y el modelo de crecimiento de la riqueza de Gordon. Entonces, evaluar el costo de los recursos propios es esencial para el análisis de riesgo, pero en los últimos años algunos han escrito artículos sobre métodos híbridos y de vanguardia que complementan el análisis de las técnicas del costo de los recursos propios. La investigación pretende mostrar la importancia de aplicar aquellas metodologías que beneficien a los inversionistas internacionales y financien a los investigadores científicos que se esfuerzan por desarrollar avances en teorías y modelos para la evaluación del costo de las acciones. La metodología fue bibliográfica porque fue necesario investigar artículos recientes sobre dichos métodos. La información de los artículos se tomó de la base de datos Web of Science de 2017-2021.

RESUMEN Utilizando métodos estadísticos se estudia el comportamiento mensual y anual de la precipitación para dos estaciones meteorológicas ubicadas en el Distrito Central, Honduras, en un espacio temporal de 30 años y agrupando los datos en péntadas se estableció un intervalo de fechas para el inicio y culminación de la temporada lluviosa en la región. Además, se emplean series temporales para determinar la existencia de estacionalidad para encontrar algún incremento o decremento en la precipitación a lo largo del tiempo; y la búsqueda de una tendencia monótona lineal en los datos para establecer si presentan un comportamiento creciente o decreciente en el transcurso de los años.

ABSTRACT Using statistical methods, the monthly and annual behaviors of precipitation are studies with data from two weather stations located in Distrito Central, Honduras, during the time span of 30 years. the data is grouped in pentads to establish an interval for the starting and finishing periods of the rainy season of the region. Time series are used to determine the existence of seasonality to discover any change in precipitation through time. Time series are also used to search for a linear monotonic trend in the data to establish whether they present an increasing or decreasing behavior over the years.

Resumen Trabajos recientes muestran que en las estructuras existe una relación entre el período natural de vibración y los efectos globales de segundo orden. Esta relación se da porque ambas dependen de la matriz de rigidez y de la matriz de masa de la estructura. Este trabajo propone un método geométrico no lineal - modal P-delta - que aprovecha una relación entre parámetros dinámicos y efectos no lineales. La metodología establece una asociación entre los modos de inestabilidad de pandeo y los modos de vibración estructural. Se propone una interpolación de los modos de vibración sin carga axial y modos de vibración con carga axial crítica para aproximar los modos y frecuencias de vibración de la estructura cargada. De esta manera, a través de una formulación simple, los modos de vibración y las frecuencias naturales de la estructura cargada pueden usarse para evaluar los desplazamientos de las estructuras incluyendo los efectos no lineales. Se simularon varios ejemplos numéricos en estructuras regulares tales como una columna libre-empotrada y un marco plano con dos configuraciones diferentes de carga. Los resultados generados con el método modal P-delta proporcionan información sobre el comportamiento no lineal de la trayectoria de equilibrio previa al pandeo. Estos resultados difieren de los hallazgos en la literatura, donde la relación entre los parámetros dinámicos y los efectos no lineales se utiliza como un indicador simple o factores de amplificación para determinar los efectos no lineales. Además, nuestros resultados indican que el P-delta modal reduce el tiempo computacional empleado considerablemente en comparación con el método iterativo P-delta tradicional.

Abstract Recent works show that in structures, there is a relationship between the natural period of vibration and global second-order effects. This relationship occurs because both depend on the stiffness matrix and the mass matrix of the structure. In this work, a non-linear geometric method - modal P-delta – is proposed that takes advantage of the relationship between the dynamic parameters and the non-linear effects. The methodology establishes an association between the buckling instability modes and the structural vibration modes. An interpolation of the vibration modes without axial loading and vibration modes with critical axial loading is proposed to approximate the vibration modes and frequencies of the loaded structure. In this way, through a simple formulation, the vibration modes and the natural frequencies of the loaded structure can be used to evaluate the displacements of the structures including the non-linear effects. Several numerical examples were simulated in regular structures in the plane, such as a free-fixed column and a plane frame with two different loading configurations. The results generated with the modal P-delta method provide information about the nonlinear behavior of the pre-buckling equilibrium path. These results are different from the findings in the literature, where the relationship between dynamic parameters and non-linear effects is used as a simple indicator or amplification factors to determine non-linear effects. Furthermore, our results indicate that the modal P-delta reduces the computational time spent considerably compared to the traditional P-delta iterative method.

RESUMO Objetivo. Avaliar os fatores ocupacionais associados à ocorrência de COVID-19 em profissionais de saúde expostos a diferentes níveis de risco utilizando a política de gestão de crises elaborada pelas Nações Unidas para a COVID-19. Métodos. Pesquisa transversal realizada entre abril e maio de 2021. O grupo de risco baixo (GRB) consistia em profissionais que tinham contato mínimo com os pacientes; o grupo de risco médio (GRM) incluía profissionais que tinham contato com pacientes sem COVID-19 e não realizavam intervenções instrumentais nas vias aéreas; e grupo de risco alto (GRA), profissionais que cuidavam de pacientes com COVID-19 e realizavam intervenções instrumentais com geração de aerossóis. Para estabelecer o desfecho, considerou-se a história de COVID-19 do profissional de saúde e a detecção de anticorpos IgG anti- SARS-CoV-2 por Elecsys® Anti-SARS-CoV-2. Resultados. A doença foi diagnosticada em 43,8% dos profissionais no GRB, 46,7% no GRM (razão de chances ajustada: 1,125; intervalo de confiança de 95% [IC95%]: 0,896-1,414; p = 0,311) e 48,6% no GRA (razão de chances: 1,214; IC95%: 0,964-1,530; p = 0,10). Conclusões. Pertencer ao GRM e ao GRA em função do nível de exposição a pacientes confirmados com COVID-19 no ambiente de trabalho não foi associado a um aumento da ocorrência da doença ou da soroconversão.

Desenlace en 43,8% en el GRB; 46,7% en el GRM (razón de momios [RM]: 1,125; intervalo de confianza de 95% [IC95%]: 0,896-1,414; p = 0,311); y 48,6% en el GRA (RM: 1,214; IC95%: 0,964-1,530; p = 0,10). Conclusión. Pertenecer al GRM y al GRA por el grado de exposición a pacientes confirmados de COVID-19 en el área de trabajo no se asoció con mayor ocurrencia de enfermedad o de seroconversión.

ABSTRACT Objective. To assess the occupational factors associated with the occurrence of COVID-19 in health personnel who were exposed to different magnitudes of risk and who followed the United Nations crisis management policy for COVID-19. Methods. Cross-sectional survey conducted between April and May 2021. The low-risk group (LRG) were considered to be those who had minimal contact with patients; the medium-risk group (MRG) had contact with non-COVID-19 patients and did not perform instrumental airway intervention; and the high-risk group (HRG) were those who cared for COVID-19 patients and performed instrumental intervention with aerosol generation. Diagnosed COVID-19 disease and the presence of positive IgG antibodies for SARS-CoV-2 measured with Elecsys® anti-SARS-CoV-2 were considered as outcomes. Results. Outcome recorded in 43.8% of the LRG, versus 46.7% in the MRG (odds ratio [OR]: 1.125; 95% confidence interval [CI 95% ]: 0.896–1.414; p = 0.311), and 48.6% in the HRG (OR: 1,214; CI 95%: 0.964–1.530; p= 0.10). Conclusion. Belonging to the high-risk group and the medium-risk group, based on the degree of exposure to confirmed COVID-19 patients in the work area, was not associated with a higher occurrence of disease or seroconversion.

Resumo O objetivo deste artigo é avaliar o impacto da COVID-19 na mortalidade das pessoas privadas de liberdade (PPL) no estado do Rio de Janeiro e comparar as taxas observadas com as da população geral. Estudo quantitativo, retrospectivo, que associa análise de série histórica 2016-2021 de taxa anual de mortalidade, seccional, comparando 2016-2017 vs. 2020-2021 e análise de dados individuais obtidos a partir de fontes primárias e secundárias de informação. A razão de mortalidade padronizada entre PPL e população geral foi estimada para os grupos de causa. Série histórica mostrou queda anual (13%) da mortalidade de 2016 a 2019, tendência que se inverteu em 2020 devido à COVID-19, responsável por 20% do total de mortes. Das PPL que morreram por COVID-19, 54,8% eram idosas e/ou portadoras de comorbidade. A mortalidade por COVID-19 foi semelhante entre a PPL e a população geral, mas a mortalidade por tuberculose e HIV permaneceu muito mais elevada entre as PPL. A pandemia foi provavelmente determinante para a reversão da tendência de queda na mortalidade observada entre 2016 e 2019. A utilização da mortalidade como indicador de saúde e direitos humanos nas prisões por órgãos de saúde, justiça e organizações da sociedade civil implica o aprimoramento da informação sobre PPL no SIM.

Abstract Purpose: to assess the impact of COVID-19 on the mortality of people deprived of their liberty (PDL) in the state of Rio de Janeiro and compare the rates observed with those of the general population. Method: quantitative, retrospective study combining the analysis of the 2016-2021 time series of annual mortality rates, cross-sectional study comparing 2016-2017 vs. 2020-2021 and analysis of individual data obtained from primary and secondary sources of information. The standardized mortality ratio between PDL and the general population was estimated for the cause of death categories. Results: historical series showed an annual drop (13%) in mortality from 2016 to 2019, a trend that was inverted in 2020 due to COVID-19, which was responsible for 20% of all deaths. Of the COVID-19 deaths, 54.8% were elderly and/or had co-morbidities. Mortality from COVID-19 was similar between PDL and the general population, but mortality from tuberculosis and HIV remained much higher among PDL. Conclusion: the pandemic was probably a determinant of the downward trend reversal in mortality between 2016 and 2019. Using mortality as an indicator of health and human rights in prisons by health, justice and civil society organizations implies the improvement of information about PDL in the SIM.

Abstract The purpose of this study was to assess how ‘IAC 572’, ‘IAC 766’, and ‘Paulsen 1103’ rootstocks affected the duration of phenological phases, thermal demand, and chemical evolution throughout production cycle of the ‘BRS Vitória’ table grape cultivated in subtropical conditions. The duration of the following phenological stages was measured in days after pruning throughout two production seasons: budburst, flowering, setting, veraison, and harvest date. The thermal demand was determined using the degree-day concept. Titratable acidity, pH, soluble solids, and the maturation index were all measured throughout berry maturation. In general, the rootstocks ‘IAC 572’ and ‘IAC 766’ increased vine precocity in comparison to ‘Paulsen 1103’ during the early phenological phases. However, the vines grafted on ‘Paulsen 1103’ were earlier in the later phases, that is, at the veraison and at the harvest date, when compared to those grafted on the rootstocks ‘IAC 572’ and ‘IAC 766’. Under subtropical conditions, the total cycle period of the ‘BRS Vitória’ vine varied from 131 to 143 days, with thermal demands ranging from 1,545 to 1,725 DD. In comparison to the ‘IAC 572’ and the ‘IAC 766’, the ‘Paulsen 1103’ supplied the berries with a higher accumulation of soluble solids and a higher maturation index.

Resumo Objetivou-se avaliar o efeito dos porta-enxertos ‘IAC 572’, ‘IAC 766’ e ‘Paulsen 1103’ quanto à duração dos estádios fenológicos, à demanda térmica e à evolução química ao longo do ciclo de produção da uva ‘BRS Vitória’, cultivada em condições subtropicais. Durante dois ciclos de produção, foi quantificado, em dias após a poda, a duração das fases fenológicas: brotação, pleno florescimento, frutificação, início da maturação e data de colheita. A demanda térmica total foi calculdada utilizando-se do conceito de graus-dias. Durante a maturação das bagas, foram avaliados o pH, a acidez titulável, os teores de sólidos solúveis e o índice de maturação. De maneira geral, nos estádios fenológicos iniciais, os porta-enxertos ‘IAC 572’ e ‘IAC 766’ promoveram precocidade às videiras em relação ao ‘Paulsen 1103’. Contudo, nas fases finais, ou seja, no ínicio da maturação e na colheita, as videiras enxertadas sobre o ‘Paulsen 1103’ foram mais precoces quando comparadas às cultivadas sobre os porta-enxertos ‘IAC 572’ e ‘IAC 766’. A duração completa do ciclo da videira ‘BRS Vitória’, em condições subtropicais, variou de 131 a 143 dias, com demandas térmicas variando de 1.545 a 1.725 GD. O ‘Paulsen 1103’ propiciou às bagas maior acúmulo de sólidos solúveis e maior índice de maturação em relação ao ‘IAC 572’ e ao ‘IAC 766’.

ABSTRACT In Cuba, newborn screening (NBS) for cystic fibrosis (CF) was introduced in January 2019. The results from the first three years of the CF NBS program are presented. An IRT/IRT protocol was followed using a cut-off value of 50 ng/mL. In this period 281,717 neonates were screened, 2,197 samples had increased IRT values, and a second sample was necessary (recall rate=0.78%). In 686 (0.24%) neonates, IRT was still elevated, and they were referred for clinical evaluation. Twenty-one children were confirmed by sweat test and molecular biology. Eighteen newborns presented variant F508del. A false negative case was reported. Demographic data of 32,764 neonates were collected. The average age of sampling was six days with results available at 11 days of life, but 1.7% of the samples were collected 20 days after birth. The mean IRT value was 12.7±11.7 ng/mL (ranging 0-283 ng/mL) with a calculated 98.5 percentile value of 42.4 ng/mL. On average, the samples were processed five days after collection and two days after they were received at the laboratory. Although CF NBS program in Cuba is just beginning, it can be predicted that CF will be one of the most frequent inherited-metabolic diseases in the Cuban population.

ABSTRACT Sentiment analysis or opinion mining is a branch of computing that allows analyzing opinions, feelings and emotions in certain areas of social interest such as products, services, organizations, companies, events and topics of current interest. In this sense, the objective of this paper was to identify the feelings and topics present in the tweets mentioning the Cuban vaccines Soberana 02 and Abdala on Twitter social network. The programming languages Python and R with their specific libraries for data science were chosen. The first part of the study, which ranged from web scraping to the quantification of the most used words, was carried out with Python and the libraries tweepy, pandas, re, nltk and matplotlib. While the second, which was the sentiment analysis and topic detection, was implemented with R and used tokenizers, tm, syuzhet, topic modeling, tidyverse, barplot, and wordcloud. It was obtained that among the terms with which there is more dialogue on Twitter are doses, vaccines, efficacy, Cubans, candidates, millions, country, people, received and population. In the tweets, the predominant emotions were fear and confidence, slightly above it; in the polarity, the positive one predominated, as an expression of the lived context in which the vaccination campaign was developed. A consensus can be perceived around the vaccines Soberana 02 and Abdala, from the identified topics and the terms that were related to the predominant emotions, as well as the polarity.

Das PPL que morreram por COVID-19, 54,8% eram idosas e/ou portadoras de comorbidade. A mortalidade por COVID-19 foi semelhante entre a PPL e a população geral, mas a mortalidade por tuberculose e HIV permaneceu muito mais elevada entre as PPL. A pandemia foi provavelmente determinante para a reversão da tendência de queda na mortalidade observada entre 2016 e 2019. A utilização da mortalidade como indicador de saúde e direitos humanos nas prisões por órgãos de saúde, justiça e organizações da sociedade civil implica o aprimoramento da informação sobre PPL no SIM.

Resumen El arroz aeróbico se ha propuesto como una práctica de gestión eficiente para ahorrar agua y mejorar la sostenibilidad del arroz como cultivo. Sin embargo, esta técnica influye significativamente en las propiedades del suelo y, por lo tanto, pueden modificar el comportamiento de los pesticidas. El Bispyribac-sodium (BYS) es un herbicida post-emergente que se usa con frecuencia en los agroecosistemas del arroz, pero que se considera muy tóxico para los organismos acuáticos y peligroso para el medio ambiente. Este trabajo persigue evaluar los efectos de la transición del sistema de riego por inundación al riego por aspersión en persistencia y movilidad en campo del BYS. Además, otra variable que se evaluó fue la aplicación de enmiendas orgánicas. La enmienda usada fue compost de alperujo subproducto agroindustrial (alperujo) del procesado de aceitunas (almazara). Para este propósito se realizaron experimentos de campo, implicando a seis tratamientos: Sin laboreo y riego por aspersión (SD) y el equivalente con aplicación de alperujo (SDC). Laboreo convencional y riego por aspersión (LC) y el equivalente con aplicación del alperujo (LCC) y laboreo convencional con inundación (LCI) y con incorporación de alperujo (LCIC). Las técnicas tradicionales en el cultivo del arroz (Laboreo convencional + inundación) benefician la movilidad en campo del herbicida BYS suponiendo un inconveniente para las aguas subterráneas frente a los suelos irrigados por aspersión. Además, el uso de alperujo podría considerarse como una estrategia para reducir contaminación de las aguas por BYS e incrementar su persistencia en las capas más superficiales del suelo, especialmente en sistemas de arroz aeróbico.

Abstract Aerobic rice has been proposed as an efficient management practice to save water and improve rice crop sustainability. However, this technique significantly influences the soil properties and, therefore, can modify the pesticides behavior. Bispyribac-sodium (BYS) is a post-emergence herbicide frequently used in rice agroecosystems but is considered highly toxic to aquatic organisms and dangerous to the environment. This work aims to evaluate the transition from flood irrigation to sprinkler irrigation effects on the persistence and field mobility of BYS. In addition, another variable evaluated was the application of organic amendments. The amendment used was olive pomace compost, an agro-industrial by-product (alperujo) of olive oil processing (almazara). For this purpose, field experiments were carried out, involving six different treatments: Without tillage and sprinkler irrigation (SD) and the equivalent with compost application (SDC). Conventional tillage and sprinkler irrigation (LC) and the equivalent with compost application (LCC) and conventional tillage with flooding (LCI) and with the compost incorporation (LCIC). Traditional techniques in rice cultivation (conventional tillage + flooding) benefit the mobility of the BYS herbicide in the field, assuming a disadvantage for groundwater quality when compared to soils irrigated by sprinklers. In addition, compost application could be considered a strategy to reduce water contamination by BYS and increase its persistence in the most superficial soil layers, especially in aerobic rice systems.
