Breve reflexión sobre la razonabilidad de la Información Financiera y la Tributación
Authors: Bastidas C. Jorge
Published: March 2021

En esta re exión se tratará de evidenciar primeramente el carácter interdisciplinario entre Contabilidad Financiera y Tributación, como preámbulo a develar las tensiones que se producen en la relación diaria y práctica entre estas dos disciplinas. Se comentará en una re exión autocrítica sobre la im-posibilidad del modelo de regulación contable internacional de conseguir que la información que se produce a partir de la aplicación del modelo sea razonable y las consecuencias que tiene para la Tributación tener que usar esa información para efectos de determinación de obligaciones materiales, ya que, para criterio del investigador, esa información no está ajustada a la razón por no representar elmente los hechos y transacciones de la empírea económica; lo cual hemos denominado como tensión otológica. Probablemente la tensión que produce la información razonable construida a partir del uso del modelo contable internacional en su interacción con la Tributación en las distintas jurisdicciones donde se relacionen, se produzca por lo disímil de su sistema de creencias. Para esta investigación no se pueden develar todas las tensiones por razones de espacio, pero, en criterio del investigador, la tensión llamada Información Razonable Vs. Tributación es un elemento probatorio para a rmar que ambos sistemas conviven en con ictos y que no basta subsanar las diferencias a través de las conciliaciones tributarias.

OBJECTIVE

To determine the prevalences and relative odds of mental health problems, suicidal ideation, psychotropic medication use, problem drinking, trouble sleeping, and lack of social support among veterinarians and veterinary technicians, compared with other medical professionals, in the US Army.

SAMPLE

7,744 US Army personnel (957 officers [101 veterinarians and 856 physicians and dentists] and 6,787 enlisted personnel [334 veterinary technicians and 6,453 medics]) participating in the Millennium Cohort Study.

PROCEDURES

Eligible participants completed ≥ 1 survey while serving as an Army veterinarian, veterinary technician, physician, general dentist, or medic. Analysis methods including multivariable logistic regression adjusted for covariates and stratified by pay grade were used to investigate associations between each health-care occupation and outcomes of interest.

RESULTS

Veterinarians had higher reported prevalences of mental health problems, trouble sleeping, and lack of social support than did nontrauma physicians, trauma physicians, or dentists. On multivariable analysis, veterinarians had higher odds of mental health problems, trouble sleeping, and lack of social support, compared with physicians and dentists combined; odds for these outcomes were also higher for veterinarians, compared with various individual reference groups. Veterinary technicians had lower reported prevalence and lower odds of psychotropic medication use, compared with medics.

CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE

Further examination of Army policies and organizational structures related to veterinarians may be warranted, along with the development of policies and interventions designed to improve mental health, sleep quality, and social support among military veterinarians.

The integral part in the system of healthcare workforce education is determining the quality index of the specialists' training and analysis of educational achievements of students. Aim. To evaluate academic performance of undergraduate and postgraduate students, interns and fellows at the Danylo Halytsky National Medical University in Lviv. To study the influence of diverse factors on the outcomes of the final attestation, and work out regressive models concerning the results of the final attestation of the students, interns and fellows of each of the specialties. Materials and Methods. The study was carried out among the interns at the Danylo Halytsky National Medical University in Lviv who underwent the final state attestation in 2018, in regard with the following criteria: the results of the licenced exams "Step-1 (Krok-1)", "Step-2 (Krok-2)", "Step-3 (Krok-3)"; the mean grade received for the state exams, and the results of the final attestation. The statistical analysis was performed by means of multiple correlative-regressive analysis. Adequacy and reliability of the obtained statistical models were evaluated using Fisher criterion. Results and Discussion. In the course of the study, it was established that the highest results of the licenced exams "Step-1", " Step-3", the state exams, and the final attestation were achieved by the interns in specialty "Emergency medicine"; the interns in specialty "Internal medicine" demonstrated the highest scores of the exam "Step-2". The lowest results of the licenced exams "Step-1" and "Step-2" were registered in the interns inspecialty "Pediatrics"; similar results of the \exam "Step-3", state exams, and the final attestation were achieved by the interns in specialty "Dentistry". A direct correlation between the results of the licenced exams "Step-1", "Step-2", and "Step-3", state exams, and the final attestation among the interns of all specialties of the LNMU in 2018 (р<0,05) was substantiated. Conclusions. The most influential factor in predicting the results of the final attestation are the results of "Step-3"; the second prediction factor is the mean grade of the state exams. Mathematical prediction of the results of the final attestation has important practical implications , because it assists with timely identification ofof the group of interns with high risks of failure and subsequent early intensifying of their academic activities. Key words: undergraduate and postgraduate education, interns, licenced exam, result of the final attestation

Aim - the search, analysis and systematization of historical facts concerning the formation and evo-lution of the world medical standartization; severance of its certain long-standing models for the optimization of settling and introduction of the existing, and future analogs, particularly, in the clinical audit format. Material and Methods. In order to study the medical standard as a historical component the fol-lowing methods were used: bibliographic, historical, analytical and methods of systematization and comparison. Results and Discussion. As a result of the conducted research the main historical events in the world development of the medical standartization starting from 1500 up till nowadays were col-lected. In order to study the evolution of the medical standartization, the analysis of the normative documents that have regulated the process of standartization, especially the Doctor's statute(s) in Russia, Minimal standard of the medical equipment and works of the American college of surgeons, was carried out. The scientific works that initiated the introduction of the clinical audit in the Health Care system in Ukraine, Turkey, the USA and Great Britain were throroughly analyzed. Conclusions. The improvement of quality as to rendering the medical aid is a job priority in the health care systems in many countries. For that reason, the search for its optimization was and is still retrieved for many centuries. The territorial formation of medical standartization is associated with England, Russia and the USA, but the occurrence of clinical audit is connected with Ukraine, Turkey, the USA and Great Britain. The foundations of the medical standardization was lauched in 1500 year, while the clinical audit - in 1854 year. The medical standartization is a reflection of the history of development of the organization of health care system, that's why the expertness (knowl-edge) of historical stages concerning the setting and the introduction of medical standartization may give a new impulse in its improvement and development under present-day conditions of reforma-tion in the medical sphere in Ukraine. The earlier beginning of implementation of the medical stan-dartization in the health care system in different countries makes it possible to actualize its introduc-tion into the clinical audit format, that, in its turn, allows to improve the quality of rendering the medical aid. Key words: medical standartization, clinical audit, quality of medical aid

Актуальність теми дослідження. Процес проєктування, будівництва та експлуатації сучасних об’єктів транспортної інфраструктури активно вдосконалюється, зважаючи на активний розвиток цифрових технологій: систем супутникового визначення місцеположення, цифрової фотограмметрії, лідарних та лазерних знімань. Для оброблення масивів геопросторових даних нині використовуються геоінформаційні системи (GIS) та системи автоматизованого проєктування (САПР). Шляхи інтеграції цих технологій нині перебувають на етапі становлення. Постановка проблеми. Важливою науковою проблемою є пошук шляхів інтеграції просторових даних для створення будівельних інформаційних моделей (BIM) та геоінформаційних моделей GIS. Якщо BIM використовуються нині переважно для проєктування та реконструкції об’єктів будівництва, то GIS вирішують набагато ширше коло завдань просторового планування і управління. Аналіз останніх досліджень і публікацій. У роботі були проаналізовані та узагальнені публікації з цієї теми: вивчений досвід впровадження будівельних інформаційних моделей (BIM) та геоінформаційних моделей GIS в діяльності аропортів. Виділення недосліджених частин загальної проблеми. Після етапу збирання геопросторових даних із різних
сенсорів (ГНСС, БПЛА, лазерних сканерів), дані імпортуються до САПР або GIS. Для роботи з обома цими моделями використовуються різні програмні продукти. Процеси організації даних у процесі створення будівельних інформаційних моделей (BIM) та геоінформаційних моделей (GIS) до певної міри відрізняються. Питання інтеграції таких моделей нині неповною мірою опрацьовані, що потребують вирішення. Постановка завдання. У процесі інтеграції просторових даних потребує рішення питання інтеграції семантики, топології, форматів і стандартів геопросторових даних. Важливим завданням є розроблення та вивчення досвіду створення програмних модулів, що дозволяють інтегрувати BIM-моделі до середовища геоінформаційних систем (GIS). Виклад основного матеріалу. Лідерами з проведення об’єднання даних будівельних інформаційних моделей та
геоінформаційних систем є компанії Autodesk та Esri. У роботі визначено актуальність застосування модуля Feature Manipulation Engine (FME), який інтегрує моделі BIM у форматі IFC (Industry Foundation Classes) в ArcGIS. Важливим напрямом подальшого розвитку технологій є впровадження у виробництво стандарту CityGML відкритого геопросторового консорціуму (OGC). Цей стандарт є перспективним для зберігання віртуальних 3D-моделей, які можуть бути загальними для САПР та GIS. Висновки відповідно до статті. На основі виконаних досліджень встановлено, що актуальним напрямом дослідження є розроблення технологій, що дозволяють генерувати інформацію із ВІМ та GIS для створення більш взаємопов’язаної інфраструктури. Перспективним є інтеграція інформації ВІМ та GIS для створення інфраструктури просторових даних (ІПД).
ШЛЯХИ ПІДВИЩЕННЯ КОРОЗІЙНОЇ СТІЙКОСТІ ЗАЛІЗОБЕТОНУ
Authors: Bolotov Maksym , Bolotov Gennady , Prybytko Iryna , Korzachenko Mykola
Published: March 2021

Актуальність теми дослідження. На сьогодні питання корозійної стійкості бетонних та залізобетонних конструкцій (ЗБК) є актуальними в усьому світі, оскільки ступінь корозійного захисту таких конструкцій визначає терміни їх експлуатаційної придатності та рівень стійкого розвитку будівельних процесів загалом. Постановка проблеми. Природно-кліматичні зони України характеризуються певною неоднорідністю як за температурою, так і за кількістю річних опадів, що часто стають причиною протікання певних деструкційних процесів у залізобетоні, здебільшого пов’язаних із кородуванням металевої арматури і, як наслідок, суттєвого зниження термінів її експлуатації. Аналіз останніх досліджень і публікацій. Проблемі корозії арматури залізобетону прикута увага багатьох вітчизняних та закордонних учених. Зокрема, значна увага приділяється способам підвищення щільності цементного каменю бетону, як активного сорбенту вологи із навколишнього середовища та транспортера її до металевої арматури. Також вказується на значний вплив температури навколишнього середовища (повітря) на швидкість протікання хімічних та електрохімічних процесів, що спричиняють корозію арматури та закладних елементів. Виділення недосліджених частин загальної проблеми. Незважаючи на велику кількість публікацій, присвячених корозійним процесам бетону та залізобетону, на сьогоднішній день не вдається в повній мірі виділити той чи інший спосіб запобігання корозії, як найбільш дієвий. На нашу думку, це пов’язано насамперед із відсутністю будь-яких систематизованих даних стосовно сучасних засобів боротьби проти корозії ЗБК, що дозволять значно збільшити строки їх експлуатації. Мета роботи. У зв’язку з цим, метою цієї роботи є аналіз способів підвищення терміну експлуатаційної придатності залізобетонних конструкцій, що працюють в умовах агресивних атмосферних впливів. Виклад основного матеріалу. Проаналізовано основні способи зниження рівня поруватості цементного каменю бетону на етапі його виготовлення з використанням різного роду модифікуючих добавок, та на етапі експлуатації залізобетонної конструкції шляхом його гідрофібізації та кальматації. Наведено наслідки тривалих корозійних впливів на металеву арматуру залізобетону та способи їх запобігання, переважно пов’язаних із просоченням арматури мігруючими інгібіторами корозії. Наведено передумови використання композитної арматури в якості альтернативи металевій. Висновки відповідно до статті. Встановлено, що основним джерелом корозії бетонних та залізобетонних конструкцій є капілярно-пориста структура цементного каменю бетону, що служить активним стоком вологи та різного роду хімічних домішок. Встановлено, що найбільш дієвим способом запобігання корозії металевої арматури нині є використання так званих мігруючих інгібіторів корозії, що на відміну від інших способів (гідрофібізації та кальматації) забезпечує надійний тривалий захист металевих стержнів від взаємодії із навколишнім середовищем.

Published: March 2021

In the context of events of the Russian Revolution and the Civil War in Russia the Omsk cadet Valentin Aleksandrovich Zhardetsky`s views on the Siberian regionalism are considered. He was a one of the main Kolchak regime ideologists. The source for the study is the Siberian periodicals, as well as the testimonies of our hero about the activities of the Siberian regionalists and the connection of the issue of Siberian autonomy with the international situation given to the Omsk Gubchkom on the eve of his execution. The last source is introduced into the scientific turnover for the first time. The authors conclude that the Russian nationalist V. A. Zhardetsky was one of the most consistent opponents of «Siberian selfhood» similar to the Ukrainian nationalism. His arguments about Siberian regionalism are also relevant for modern Russia, which once again faces the potential threat of separatism in Siberia

Towards a Framework for Evaluating and Reporting Hansen Solubility Parameters: Applications to Nano and Micron Scale Particle Dispersions
Authors: Bapat Shalmali , Kilian Stefan O. , Wiggers Hartmut , Segets Doris
Published: March 2021

A thorough understanding of complex interactions within particulate systems is a key for knowledge-based formulations. Hansen solubility parameters (HSP) are widely used to assess the compatibility of the dispersed phase with the continuous phase. At present, the determination of HSP is often based on a liquid ranking list obtained by evaluating a pertinent dispersion parameter using only one pre-selected characterization method. Furthermore, one cannot rule out the possibility of subjective judgment especially for liquids for which it is difficult to decipher the compatibility or underlying interactions. As a result, the end value of HSP might be of little or no information. To overcome these issues, we introduce a generalized technology-agnostic combinatorics-based approach. We discuss the principles of the approach and the implications of evaluating and reporting particle HSP values. We demonstrate the approach by using SiNx particles. We leverage the analytical centrifugation data to evaluate stability trajectories of SiNx dispersions in various liquids to deduce particle-liquid compatibility.

The 1960s were a time of great change and growth in New Zealand's tertiary eduction sector, and the university-based discipline of architecture was in no way exempt from this progress. In response to the Parry Report of 1959-1960, the New Zealand government passed the 1961 Universities Act, which dissolved the federated University of New Zealand. This Act opened the way for the independence of the four universities of Auckland, Victoria, Canterbury and Otago, and the two allied agricultural colleges of Massey and Lincoln. Under the federated university system, Auckland University College had been the centre of architectural training, and had delivered extramural course through colleges in the other centres. As the "disproportionate number" of extramural and part-time study had been criticisms levelled by the Parry Report, it was obvious that another School of Architecture would now be required, but where? Ever an argumentative association, members of the New Zealand Institute of Architects engaged in a lively debate on the choice, positing Victoria University in Wellington, and Canterbury University in Christchurch, as the major contenders. By the end of the decade university-based architectural training would expand at both Auckland and (the new) Wellington Schools, New Zealand's first PhD in Architecture would be conferred on Dr John Dickson, and many of the careers of architects and architectural academics who went on to construct the discipline as it is today, had begun.
Unbuilt Sixties: The Unsuccessful Entries in the Christchurch Town Hall Competition
Authors: Lochhead Ian
Published: March 2021

The completion of the Christchurch Town Hall in 1972 marked the end of a process which had begun in 1964 with a national competition, the largest and most prestigious of the post-war era in New Zealand and one of the major architectural events of the 1960s. Although Warren and Mahoney's winning design has assumed a prominent place in New Zealand architecture, unsuccessful designs by among others, Pascoe & Linton; Lawry & Sellars; Austin, Dixon & Pepper; Gabites & Beard and Thorpe, Cutter, Pickmere, Douglas & Partners, are virtually forgotten. These designs deserve to be better known since they offer an invaluable insight into the range of architectural approaches being employed during the mid sixties. Standing apart from the short listed designs is Peter Beaven's more widely published entry, which was singled out by the jury as being especially meritorious. The paper will examine unrealised designs for the Christchurch Town Hall in the context of contemporary attitudes towards concert hall and civic centre design. Approaches ranged from the Miesian international modernism of Lawry and Sellars to the sculptural forms of Beaven's proposal in which influences as diverse as Aalto, Scharoun and Mountfort are strikingly integrated. The paper will also assess Warren and Mahoney's unbuilt civic centre design within the framework of the competition entries as a whole. Such unbuilt designs constitute an important, but largely invisible part of the architecture of the 1960s and deserve to be re-inscribed within in the history of the period.
Anscombe's plans for Highrise Living
Authors: McCarthy Christine
Published: March 2021

In the 1930s New Zealand was yet to invest in inner-city living via large scale apartment buildings. Few examples of flats existed. A. Sinclair O'Connor's Courtville (1914-19) at the corner Waterloo Quadrant and Parliament Street, Auckland, and Francis Petre's Manor Place Flats in Dunedin were exceptions to conventional living. In the 1930s greater interest was shown in the design of inner-city apartments – most famously by the Department of Housing Construction's Berhampore Flats, Adelaide Rd (Wellington, Gordon Wilson, 1938-40), and Symonds Street Flats, Symonds Street (Auckland, Friedrich Neumann, 1939-47), anticipating their 1940s work: the Dixon Street Flats, Dixon Street (Wellington, 1940-44), the Maclean Flats, The Terrace (Wellington, 1943-44), the Hanson Street Flats, Newtown (1943-44), and the Greys Avenue Flats, Greys Avenue (Auckland, 1945-47). [NEW PARAGRAPH] In Wellington, Edmund Anscombe dominated the design of privately funded inner city flats, designing six art-deco/modernistic apartments during this time: Belvedere, Hamilton Flats, Olympus, Linfield, Alberts Flats and Franconia. This paper examines these apartments in the context of Anscombe's comments on house design, and housing, and his 1936 proposal to replan the area of Adelaide Road as a residential area to accommodate superblocks of high rise apartments.
"... from teat-jerk to quidnunc": A.R.D. Fairburn and the Formation of an Ideology of Architectural Nationalism in New Zealand
Authors: Wood Peter
Published: March 2021

In 1934 ARD Fairburn published the essay "Some Aspects of N.Z. Art and Letters" in the journal Art in New Zealand. In it he criticized Alan Mulgan's book Home: A Colonial's Adventure, which had been first published in 1927, and was reprinted in 1934. It was, in Fairburn's view, an account unacceptably steeped in romantic melancholy for a distant motherland that was no longer as germane as it had once been. Instead he proposed looking to the American Transcendentalists Twain and Thoreau for direction.

Also published in 1934 was a small book from the New Zealand Institute of Architects called Building in New Zealand. In it the NZIA made a case for the professional and social responsibilities of the architect in New Zealand and it is best described as conservative. However it is pertinent that this book was edited by Alan Mulgan. Here the role of the architect in cast in practical terms that bear direct comparison to the code of practice issue for the Royal Institute of British Architects. Mulgan's contribution to discussion on New Zealand architecture is limited to this publication, and it is likely his editorship of Building in New Zealand was motivated more by depression economics than architectural interest. However this book is still an important summary of the profession at that time, and it links architecture to Mulgan's romantic writings though the reiteration of a colonial fountainhead. By contrast Fairburn would go on to champion a national voice for New Zealand's writers, artists, and architects. Moreover he established a close relationship with Vernon Brown, and was to associate with Bill Wilson and the Architectural Group. Indeed, the limited writings available from these architectural associates often echo Fairburn's 1934 call for an antipodean "honesty" in "our" buildings.

It is in the immediate post war period that the emergence of a national architectural expression in New Zealand is most celebrated, being lead in Auckland by Brown, Wilson, and the Architectural Group. However an examination of the writings by Fairburn and Mulgan shows that the elements of the debate were already in place well before then. I conclude that the antecedent for the emergence of debate on a national architectural character appears, however unintentionally, in the 1934 writings of Fairburn and Mulgan. Critical to this is discussion on we mean by "honest" architectural work.
"These depressed times": architectural and decorative strategies in Christchurch in the financially stringent years of the early 1890s
Authors: Halliday Jessica
Published: March 2021

In 1893 The Press commended Charles Clark for his "energy and faith in the future of Christchurch" in commissioning Collins & Harman to design a new building in Cathedral Square in Christchurch "in these depressed times." The first half of the 1890s saw the continuation of the long depression that had marked New Zealand the previous decade.  In contrast to the abounding intensity that can be inferred from the broad descriptions of New Zealand architecture at the end of the nineteenth century, architectural endeavours at this time were often constrained by limited opportunities and restricted budgets. This paper considers Christchurch architecture of the early 1890s in the context of these financially stringent years, examining most closely the practice of Armson, Collins & Harman.
Carpenter, Artisan, Architect; Status In Late Nineteenth Century Wellington
Authors: Humphris Adrian , Mew Geoff
Published: March 2021

The distinction between a minor professional architect and a leading builder in Wellington was considerably more blurred in the late nineteenth century than it would be today. However, busy architects could make a lot of money and the term "architect" carried status that might open more doors than would be available to a mere builder.  Late nineteenth century Wellington is now apparently only represented by a handful of buildings by prominent architects. Most people automatically think of the CBD and names like Thomas Turnbull & Son, William Chatfield, Frederick de Jersey Clere, John Campbell and perhaps William Crichton. Clayton, Toxward and Tringham were dead or almost gone, and new generation architects were barely emerging. We contend, however, that this picture is an oversimplification and considerably more of 1890s Wellington remains, as does the evidence for a much longer roll-call of architects, some of whom practised on the fringes, both of the city and of their profession. The architects we discuss here did not generally design large, flamboyant buildings, nor did they cater for rich company clients. Many of the lesser-known architects were particularly susceptible to boom-bust cycles and were forced to seek other employment in lean times - hence their rapid arrivals and departures from the trade listings in the directories of these years
Three Cheers! Otaki
Authors: Mackay Christina
Published: March 2021

The District Plan Heritage Register for Ōtaki, Kāpiti Coast includes nine buildings from 1890s; two residences, a children's home, a maternity hospital, solicitors' offices, a church and three hotels – the Jubilee (1891), Telegraph (1895) and Railway (1891) (Kapiti Coast District Council "Heritage Register" v 1, s I, pp 9-11). The Telegraph and Railway hotels continue to serve patrons today, but the Jubilee Hotel is currently a community house, the House of Hope. Two other hotels operated in Ōtaki in 1890s, the Family (1881) and the Central (1893). This paper focuses on the development and role of these hotels within Ōtaki in 1890s and then tracks the changing patterns of use against the alterations to the building fabric since that time.
Robert Mackay Fripp in the 1890s: Peripatetic Pacific Rim Architect
Authors: Milojevic Michael
Published: March 2021

When the 30-year old English-born, Auckland-trained Robert Mackay Fripp (1858-1917) and his New Zealand bride left the port of Auckland in the late summer of 1888, they were headed for the bustling construction environment of post-fire Vancouver. Leaving his practice with C Paul, and his architectural design tutorship at the Auckland Society of the Arts, Fripp's was an astute career move. In the not quite eight years Fripp was based in Vancouver, he built and published almost 50 projects in British Columbia before he escaped the fast-approaching Vancouver recession and returned to Auckland in 1896. Attempting to put himself forward for more prestigious commissions in the Lower Mainland and Vancouver Island (which regularly went to Samuel Maclure), Fripp developed a national profile as an Arts and Crafts aesthete and designer with considerable international experience by publishing his drawings and reporting on the "West Coast scene" in the Toronto-based Canadian Architect and Builder (CAB). Among the local-interest articles there, which he consistently turned into a crabby proselytising for the Arts and Crafts, Fripp also placed both appreciative and critical articles and notes on Māori architecture and domestic design, and timber and construction in Auckland, and, even more surprisingly, he continued to do so throughout the 1890s, that is, long after he returned to New Zealand and set-up in partnership with GS Goldsboro' in Auckland. Meanwhile in the 33 months Fripp was back in Auckland from 1896 he realised a number of substantive and significant Auckland houses in Parnell, Grafton and Mount Eden. In these works I will show that he can be seen to have brought current "progressive" ideas from the West Coast about strongly-shaped shingled and half-timbered houses simply detailed with heavy timber to stand within the strong ocean coastal conditions. Fripp left for Victoria in 1899 and after some disappointing (losing the competition for Government House to Francis Rattenbury) months, during which he posted a scathing report in CAB about house design in Auckland, he moved to Los Angeles renting office space immediately adjacent to the Greene brothers executing and publishing a series of large (as yet undiscovered) houses in and around Santa Monica and Pasadena throughout 1900-5.
