Objectives:  to evaluate yield and quality of eight ‘slicer’ type cucumber hybrids grown under greenhouse conditions in Alajuela, Costa Rica.  Methodology:  the plants were planted in coconut fiber substrate, were pruned to one stem per plant, and received fertigation.  Results: a wide variability was found among the hybrids in terms of total number of fruits per area (68.01 - 127.77fruits/m2), fruit weight (216.39 - 270.06g), commercial yield (135.9 - 227.1ton/ha), total yield (179.9 - 285.5ton/ha) and percentage of total soluble solids (2.87 - 3.21°Brix).  PSX-11 and JMX-223 hybrids produced the highest number of first quality fruits per area (50.04 and 50.43fruits/m2, respectively), the lowest first quality fruit weight (246.99 and 246.12g, respectively), and the highest commercial (208.6 and 227.1ton/ha, respectively) and first quality yield (124.6 and 124.8ton/ha, respectively), and these results were significantly different with respect to those obtained by the other hybrids.  Conclusions:  PSX-11 and JMX-223 were the most productive cucumber hybrids under the conditions in which the trial was carried out.

When working with microservices there are different paths that can be taken, endless technologies that can be used, and for now there is no standardized path that software architects and developers should take to implement this architecture pattern. For distributed transactions at the level of different microservices, there is no specific path to take, as in previous technologies that leveraged application servers and specialized components, custom-developed for software house technologies that made trust in solutions was high. That is why this research proposes a transaction processing system to apply compensation and reversal in distributed transactions of microservices, unrelated to the implemented technology and without affecting the performance of microservices. An architecture based on the event pattern is proposed and implemented, leveraging on cloud computing for availability of microservices, event processing and data persistence. In order to provide a tool for software architects and developers to solve the problem of orchestrating distributed transactions at the level of different microservices.

José Ignacio Cabrujas (1937-1995) is a fundamental reference in the Venezuelan cultural contex of the 20th century. The constant theme in all his productions is Venezuela, especially in the chronicle, where he openly questions the political, economic, social and cultural conformation of a country marked by contradictory historical facts. For this reason, a reading of the voice over present in two of his chronicles allows an approach to the author's language in order to show how, through the use of colloquial and everyday expressions, Cabrujas portrays the reality of a country from its speech act. The voice over in both chronicles are analyzed according to the theoretical postulates Mario García-Page (2008). With this analysis we outline an approach to Cabrujas ideological-semantic configuration, which seems to be already present in the affirmation of his character Purificación in Acto cultural (1976): “Homeland is a matter of accent”.

“Sea Usted Medico” is one of Costa Rica's most acknowledged literary works for its inclusion in El Costumbrismo en Costa Rica (1966) by Margarita Castro Rawson. Although this short text was originally published in two parts in the Costa Rican newspaper Eco de Irazú in 1854, Castro Rawson only included the first part in her famous anthology. In "Sea Usted Medico" the reader find representations of different types of practitioners of medicine (physicians, healers, charlatans and apothecaries), as well as the use of remedies in Costa Rica during the second half of the 19th century. In this work I argue that although these representations seemingly support the liberal reforms deemed necessary to promote progress, modernization and the development of a nation in formation – essentially supporting modern medicine–, studying the second part of “Sea Usted Medico”, however, complicates this position and rather reveals a coexistence between traditional medical practices and modern medicine in Costa Rica. In this context, this article analyses the complex relationship between the distinct types of medicine during this period in Costa Rica as seen from a literary and cultural point of view.

As we know, Clarín’s novels were not always part of the canon of the 19th century’s great works. On the one hand, this work aims to establish the reason why this author remained excluded from the group of the great novelists of the nineteenth century for so many years. On the other, it offers some notes for a diachronic panorama that covers Clarinian criticism from 1901 to 1984, in order to reflect who were the first researchers who were interested in these novels, what were their interests and what was the basis on which they sustained his valuation. This enhancement of Clarín’s novels took several decades of the twentieth century, when an approach to the intratextual elements of his work was fundamental, leaving behind the vision of Clarín as a simple link that opened the way to the works of great author such as Galdós or those of the generation of 98.

This article aims to show the development of the research in the Colombian prosody since the arrival of the AMPER-Colombia project. It allows us to verify the importance and impact of the project for the prosody research improvement in the country. Thus, we made a review of the main concepts of the prosody, a brief history of AMPER, its structural methodological procedures and the last contributions made by AMPER-Colombia.
