Smallholder banana - based farming system dynamics of Arba Minch Zuria District, the case of Gamo Zone, Ethiopia: Qualitative exploration
No full textDifferent types of crops are produced in different agro-ecological zones of Ethiopia where specific biophysical conditions define the success of their production. This banana-based smallholder farming systems explorative study objective was to explore existing banana-based farming system dynamics and examine push–pull factors accelerating these dynamics. To achieve the objectives of study, three Kebeles of Arba Minch Zuria district were selected purposively. Both primary and secondary data were collected and analyzed using qualitative data analysis method. The results show that cropping systems of the study area have been changed a lot during the last years; going from seasonal crops farming to perennial fruit crops-based farming. An early farming practice of the study area was cultivating seasonal crops like maize, teff, sweet potato, and cotton. Later on farmers have shifted to perennial cash crops like banana and mango. Most farmers in the study area use cow dung, crop residues, poultry droppings, and house cleans to improve soil fertility of their banana field. During establishment of banana farmland, farmers inter-crop vegetable and cereal crops to maximize their farm income. When banana develop three to four suckers per hill and full canopy, farmers make their banana farm monoculture. Access to irrigation water, minimum input requirement nature of perennial crops, market demand, and existence of regular market were considered as pulling factors to shift farming system from seasonal cropping to banana-based perennial farming. Whereas soil salinity, lack of quality planting materials, poor sucker management, banana fruit market fluctuation, rainfall variability, lack of value addition practice, and weak market integration were considered as common pushing factors for banana production and marketing in Arba Minch Zuria district
Adaptability evaluation of improved Tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) varieties for yield and other quantitative traits in Arba Minch, Southern Ethiopia
No full textTomato is one of the important vegetables grown all over the world for its nutritious and economic value. Varietal improvement for high yielding, pest resistance and tolerance, drought tolerance and processing quality traits are vital thereby to enhance production and productivity of the crop. Due to lack of improved varieties in the study area, local productivity of tomato is challenged and its production is very limited. Hence, identification of improved tomato varieties that are adaptable, high yielding and disease resistant is crucial before dissemination to boost its productivity in the study area. Therefore, this experiment was conducted at Arba Minch to evaluate ten improved tomato varieties for yield and yield components under irrigation condition using randomized complete block design replicated three times. ANOVA result indicated that there is a significant variation among tested varieties in all studied parameters. The mean total yield and number of fruits plant-1 of tomato varieties varied from 4991.1 to 11,215 kg ha-1 and 13.33 to 36.53 fruits plant-1, respectively. ‘Melkashola' scored the highest marketable yield (9,438 kg ha-1) and total yield (11,216 kg ha-1) being followed by ‘Bishola' (8,756 kg ha-1) and ‘Melkasalsa' (8,367 kg ha-1). On the other hand, ‘Melkasalsa' and ‘Miya' with moderately high yield might also be regarded as other potential varieties. Therefore, the first three varieties are recommended for cultivation in the study area and similar agro-ecology
Arnau de Vilanova, la filosofia i la sentència condemnatòria de les seves obres (Tarragona, 1316)
No full textLa sentència inquisitorial de les obres d'Arnau de Vilanova (Tarragona, 1316) atribuïa a l'Apologia… una condemna de la filosofia i dels teòlegs que n'havien fet ús.

En les conclusions, l'autor proposa unes analogies entre el pensament mèdic i el filosòfic i teològic d'Arnau de Vilanova.Arnau de Vilanova's inquisitorial sentence (Tarragona, 1316) attributed to the Apologia… a disapproval of the philosophy and of the theologians that had made use of it.

Antonius Andreae y la cultura clásica / Antonius Andreae and Classical Culture
No full textTomàs and Joaquim Carreras stated (1943) that either the Scriptum super Metaphysicam Aristotelis was not genuinely by Antonius Andreae († ca. 1333), or it was subjected to interpolations because its author demonstrates knowledge of classical culture and a mentality characteristic of the fifteenth century. Experts currently consider this work to be genuinely by Andreae; but could it also have been subjected to interpolations? Only a detailed examination of the manuscript and printed tradition will, in the future, allow this question to be answered definitively. For the moment, this article analyses the knowledge of classical culture demonstrated in this work, and concludes that it is compatible with the knowledge available to an author from the beginning of the fourteenth century.</jats:p

La «fallacia consequentis» en la polémica escatólogica entre Arnau de Vilanova y los profesores de la Universidad de París
No full textThe article presents, analyzes and comments a text of Arnau de Vilanova that has been conserved relative to the discussion that maintained this author with the theologians of Paris (in the transit of century XIII to the XIV) on the «fallacia consequentis», in the context of the eschatological controversy (the possibility of Biblically predicting the corning of the Antichrist). The theologians of Paris disqualified the argumentation of Arnau de Vilanova because he incurred the «fallacia consequentis». Arnau de Vilanova defends himself of this accusation.</jats:p
