review text: The main result of this paper is theorem 2, which says that for a globally generated ample line bundle \(L\) on an F-rational (type) projective variety \(X\) of dimension \(d\) over a field, if the dimension of the complete linear system \(|L|\) associated to \(L\) exceeds \(d\), then \(K_X + nL\) is globally generated for all \(n \geq d\). A corollary is a special case of Fujita's conjecture. In characteristic zero this form of Fujita's conjecture can be straightforwardly proved by using the Kodaira vanishing theorem, but here the author gives a characteristic-free, purely algebraic proof by using tight closure theory, and avoiding the vanishing theorems completely. The key ingredient in Smith's proof is the behavior of the tight closure of the zero submodules in some local cohomology modules. For progress and survey on Fujita's conjecture, see \textit{U. Angehrn} and \textit{Y. T. Siu} [Invent. Math. 122, 291-308 (1995; Zbl 0847.32035)], \textit{L. Ein} and \textit{R. Lazarsfeld} [J. Am. Math. Soc. 6, 875-903 (1993; Zbl 0803.14004)], \textit{Y.
