CAP post 2022 scenarios and income impacts – a case analysis for selected typical farms in Slovenia
Authors: ŽGAJNAR Jaka , JUVANČIČ Luka , KAVČIČ Stane , ERJAVEC Emil
Published: July 2021

Assessment based on representative farms is an established approach in the modern assessment of the effects of changes in agricultural policy. In line with previous CAP reforms, we can expect income redistribution impacts also with the implementation of the legislative and financial framework of the CAP for the next period. This paper discusses a scenario analysis using the farm model. The model is based on linear programming, which enables to address various technological challenges at farm level. We formed the scenarios for the analysis following the example of the scenarios contained in the impact assessment that the European Commission prepared for the CAP after 2020. The analysis involves selected farm types from selected sectors. The results suggest that the expected reduction in the envelope will generally lead to lower farm-level revenues from CAP direct payments. Consequently, economic performance will deteriorate, what is likely to be amplified in some sectors by the abolition of historical payments. The range of consequences at farm level will likely be considerable, especially for sectors and production types with a high share of CAP payments in the structure of total farm income. In certain sectors, however, there is even an improvement regarding the current situation.
What constitutes a majority in Curaçao Government? An analysis of the results of Curaçao’s March 2021 elections
Authors: Goede Miguel , Meent Everardus van de
Published: July 2021

The objective of this case study is to examine the current electoral system of Curaçao to ascertain whether it provides adequate representation of its constituents. The current system is imbalanced because it favors the larger political parties disproportionally, which leads to a distortion of the will of the voter. The results from the most recent election held in March 2021 were compiled and examined. An alternative system was considered to gain insight into the detrimental effects of the current system. An evaluation of the current system employed to allocate seats after the election were found to be inequitable, suggesting that measures should be taken to enhance the legitimacy of the system by better reflecting the will of the voters. Given that it has been decades since the system was examined, this research provides an updated foundation for considering alternative allocation procedures that would be more consistent with a healthy representative democracy.

A Community at Work for Good: The Role OCBs and Interconnectedness Play in Mitigating Workplace Deviance
Authors: Moore Tom , McTier William , Blevins Kassie
Published: July 2021

The current research examines the role interconnectedness, a major construct of workplace spirituality, plays in the functioning of workplace deviance behaviors and organizational citizenship behaviors (OCBs) in organizations.  The dichotomy between workplace deviance and OCBs can be viewed as a continuum that varies in every organization, but the desire to improve the continuum’s balance remains a constant.  Thus, how can the balance of these behaviors be guided towards OCBs and away from workplace deviance simultaneously?  Rarely have suggestions been offered by management scholars on how to increase OCBs and reduce workplace deviance simultaneously.  Previous recommendations on reducing workplace deviance have focused mostly on costly and inefficient activities, resulting in an increase in more diverse negative deviant behaviors.  Thus, what can an organization do to positively change these behaviors in a low realized cost fashion that otherwise does not promote other negative deviant behaviors?

An extensive literature search was performed, and no previous scholarly literature could be found that directly addressed interconnectedness and its relationship with the continuum of OCBs and negative workplace deviant behaviors.  As a result, previous scholarly and practitioner literature was used to develop theory delineating the relationships of concern.  Formal propositions are developed to describe the relationships of interest.  A conceptual partially mediated model illustrating how interconnectedness can impact the OCB and workplace deviance continuum is also proposed.  Organizational implications are also discussed.
Elements of Expanded Core Curriculum That Best Predicts Academic Achievement of Students With Visual Impairment
Authors: Ntim Edward Kofi , Vanderpuye Irene , Kpodeo Ivy Ama , Assie Rebecca Afrah , Derkye Charles
Published: July 2021

Every student (student with visual impairment or non-student with visual impairment) is expected to leave the walls of any educational institution with a strong grasp of knowledge, skills, and attitude to function successfully in life-after-school. In order to be successful, students with visual impairment must learn all the nine components of the expanded core curriculum (ECC). The expanded core curriculum empowers students with visual impairment to access their education and make their own choices throughout life.  Without specialised instruction in ECC, students with vision loss may not be aware of the activities of their peers or acquire other critical information about their surroundings (Ferrell, 2000). As students with visual impairment learn the expanded core curriculum they build a strong foundation for success in life today and tomorrow. The ECC must therefore, be strategically and sequentially taught and integrated into all aspects of the education of the student with visual impairment. Ninety three students with visual impairment at University of Cape Coast and University of Education, Winneba were used for the study. Questionnaire and Multiple regression were used to collect and analyse data respectively. Independent living skills emerged as the best predictor of academic achievement of students with visual impairment.

In this fifth paper of a series on failing states, we analyze the impact that the large numbers of Syrian refugees from the Syrian civil war (2010-2019) had on political association in Britain – triggering a major change British policy and possibly threatening national unity.  The theoretical model of political association is composed of three dimensions in the political dichotomies of: (1) ‘kinship or reciprocal-altruism’, (2) ‘centralization or decentralization-of-power’, and (3) ‘idealism or realism;.  This is a cross-disciplinary political theory which can apply to different societies and to different times in a society.
Implementation of International Human Rights Obligations in Nigeria: Civil Society Perspective
Authors: Emelonye Uchenna
Published: July 2021

Civil society organizations are key actors in the promotion and protection of human rights in Nigeria and have participated in all the Universal Periodic Review (UPR) circles of the Government of Nigeria.  The UPR is a first of its kind innovation adopted in 2006 by the Human Rights Council to complement the works of treaty bodies and involves the review on a periodic basis, the human rights records of all Member States of the United Nations. As a peer review process comprising three distinct stages and involving three major sources of information, this article exclusively ex-rays the UPR civil society report on the implementation of Nigeria’s international human rights obligations. As one of the three sources of information relied upon by the Human Rights Council in the Universal Periodic Review of the human rights record of the Government of Nigeria, this article, while focusing on the civil society information submitted to the Human Rights Council pursuant to the United Nations General Assembly Resolution 60/251 concludes that despite advances in the promotion and protection of human rights claimed in its national report to be made in the implementation of international human rights obligations, there are still, from civil society lens, plethora of issues and gaps in the implementation of Nigeria’s international human rights obligations.
The Consonant System of the English Language and its Modification in Colloquial Speech
Authors: Poladova Sabina Elkhan
Published: July 2021

This paper is concerned with the study of the modifications of consonants caused by their mutual influence, taking into account the varying degrees of connectivity of the elements of the speech chain. As such, this study of vocal connections of various types is carried out from the point of view of the nature of the junction of the elements – more or less close. Thus, this paper is devoted to problems concerning the phenomenon of vocal junction as it is established in linguistics in general and in phonetics in particular.

The relevance of these problems stems from the need for disclosure and knowledge of the mechanism of internal organization of speech flow. This paper is aimed at analyzing the features of the vocal stitch and its components, which allow you to delve deeper into the mechanism of production of related speech. Thereby, this study attempts to identify modifications of elements of interdisciplinary vocal combinations, which are important for the implementation of their delimitative function, as these are manifested in the distinction of different units of speech.
El papel de la movilidad estudiantil en el desarrollo de la competencia comunicativa intercultural: un estudio de caso
Authors: Šifrar Kalan Marjana
Published: July 2021

The objective of this case study is to investigate the role of student mobility in the development of intercultural communicative competence in university students. In order to indicate the changes in the participants, especially about their attitudes towards Spanish culture, Spaniards and their stereotypes, an interpretative research with an ethnographic approach has been carried out, namely, we have interviewed several students of Hispanic Philology from the University of Ljubljana (level C1 of Spanish), who had spent at least one semester with the Erasmus scholarship studying in Spain. The article does not pretend to achieve a statistical generalization due to its limited sample, however it can be useful as a preliminary study.
El estudio contrastivo-pragmático entre primeras y segundas lenguas de los registros formal y coloquial
Authors: Fernández Jódar Raúl
Published: July 2021

In this article we intend to present the theoretical bases for the contrastive study of colloquial and formal registers from a pragmatic point of view. Although we start from the point of view of contrastive linguistics, we consider that neither the comparison of the theoretical grammars of two languages, nor the description of specific actions of learners of an L2, can show the nuances of the formal and colloquial registers.Formal and colloquial registers should not be understood as watertight departments with no relationship between them, but as two extremes within the continuum of speech. Obviously, this continuum will differ depending on the language in question, since certain lexical, pragmatic or syntactic elements, among others, can be understood as corresponding to different registers.Now, how should we face the contrast of this continuum belonging to different languages? In the paper we present both the techniques used to measure the attitude of the interviewees regarding different elements of the colloquial and formal records, as well as the concepts that will help us to analyse the data obtained. Finally, the analysis can draw conclusions that refer to the learning process and the teaching process.
Contribución de la prensa a la adquisición del vocabulario
Authors: Santos Díaz Inmaculada Clotilde , Trigo Ibáñez Ester , Romero Oliva Manuel Francisco
Published: July 2021

The press brings the reader closer not only to the news of a community but also to its language and culture. The objective of this study is to know the relationship between press consumption and lexical competence. Specifically, the weekly time spent by 171 graduate students from Malaga reading the press and its relationship with two lexical tests in Spanish – mother tongue – and French or English – foreign language – will be analysed. The results show that there is no significant relationship between available vocabulary and press consumption. Instead, the relationship is significant with the ability to identify technicalities when the data refer to the foreign language of the informants. These findings invite us to continue promoting didactic applications that integrate press reading both to improve lexical competence and to integrate the sociopragmatic component of the language.
¿Es el artículo una unidad pragmática? Acerca de la teoría de la definitud y la referencia
Authors: Pawlik Janusz
Published: July 2021

In this paper I intend to review some theories of the article, paying attention to the relations they establish between reference and +/–definiteness of a noun phrase (NP). The prototypes of +/–definiteness in Spanish are the definite and indefinite articles and NPs determined by them. Nevertheless, the actual reference of a NP depends mostly on its use (a speech act) and varies according to its pragmatic context. Reference and definiteness are mutually related concepts accompanied by pragmatic and semantic implications. I wish to make a critical overview of some proposals in this field of research.
Primitives of Peirce’s concept of consciousness
Authors: West Donna E.
Published: July 2021

This collection of articles by noted Peirce scholars stands at the frontiers of the discipline in expressing a primary issue which runs through Peirce’s semiotic, logic, and metaphysics – how his more mature semiotic is inextricably linked with questions of consciousness. As such, Peirce’s concept of consciousness is augmented in the following ways: intelligent agency, temporal contracts in 4E cognition, the privilege of the non-ego and the role of heterocriticism, and the impingement of consciousness upon Peirce’s notion of self-control. In short, it brings together threads of Peirce’s theory of consciousness into a semio-logical model. The contributions address how Peirce’s system of “instinctual” consciousness, awareness, and more reflective forms of consciousness influence the generation of propositions and assertions. Peirce’s ultimate position is showcased – that to serve esthetic ends, quasi-interpreters must argue with/between themselves how to craft courses of action to serve esthetic ends.
Pragmaticism as a logical study of consciousness
Authors: Pietarinen Ahti-Veikko
Published: July 2021

Pragmaticism states that general rules of action, or habits, are generalizing tendencies that lead us to action in conceivable situations describable in general terms. As a method of ‘putting questions to our minds,’ it assigns meanings to signs in terms of conceivable practical consequences for rational conduct. Questions are experiments on various ways of finding solutions in thoughts. This paper proposes pragmaticism as a logical method to study consciousness. In particular, perceptions of relations of differences create a “temporal contract” between states of minds that give rise to experiences. Peirce’s “dyadic consciousness” is this drafting of a contract between states of mind, anticipating and occasionally furthering beyond the key notions of 4E cognitive science.
Toward a Foucauldian Genealogy of Video Game (Pre)history
Authors: Trépanier-Jobin Gabrielle
Published: July 2021

This paper highlights the distortive nature of narrative models that are often employed in video game historiographies to produce captivating tales. More precisely, it argues against: the search for video games’ origin(s); the “chronological-teleological” model based on linear progressions; the “chronological-organic” narrative revolving around a biological-like evolution; the “epistemic breaks” structure based on radical transformations; the “bi-polar” model involving a dialectic of oppositions; and the “cyclical” narrative revolving around postmodern tropes of return, recycling, and retrofitting. In addition to explaining why the uncritical use of these emplotment techniques is problematic, this paper argues in favor of a Foucault-inspired genealogical approach which avoids the quest for the media’s origin(s) and articulates video game history around coexistence, overlaps, interferences, synergies, networks of influences, and discontinuities. This genealogical method also restores the missing inventors, devices, and games in historical records while highlighting the power relations that led to their omission in the first place.
Prosecutor Mercy
Authors: Kovarsky Lee
Published: July 2021

The tailwinds might be behind criminal justice reform, but American mercy power remains locked in a sputtering clemency model. Centralized leadership should be braver or the centralized institutions should be streamlined, the arguments go—but what if the more basic mercy problem is centralization itself? In this essay, I explore that question. In so doing, I defend the normative premise that post-conviction mercy is justified, and I address the questions of institutional design and political economy that follow. I ultimately encourage jurisdictions to layer decentralized mercy powers on top of their clemency mechanisms, and for the newer authority to be vested in local prosecutors. I present less a single proposal than a collection of principles for mercy decentralization. Governors and presidents simply cannot deliver the punishment remissions appropriate for an American prison population bloated by a half-century love affair with over-criminalization, mandatory minimums, and recidivism enhancements.

Circulating glucocorticoids are associated with metabolic syndrome and related cardiometabolic risk factors in non-Africans. This study investigated these associations in Africans, whose metabolic phenotype reportedly differs from Europeans. Adiposity, blood pressure, glycaemia, insulin resistance, and lipid profile, were measured in 316 African men and 788 African women living in Soweto, Johannesburg. The 2009 harmonized criteria were used to define metabolic syndrome. Serum glucocorticoids were measured using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. Cortisol was associated with greater odds presenting with metabolic syndrome (odds ratio (95% CI) =1.50 (1.04, 2.17) and higher systolic (beta coefficient, β (95% CI) =0.04 (0.01, 0.08)) and diastolic (0.05 (0.02, 0.09)) blood pressure, but higher HDL (0.10 (0.02, 0.19)) and lower LDL (−0.14 (−0.24, −0.03)) cholesterol concentrations, in the combined sample of men and women. In contrast, corticosterone was only associated with higher insulin sensitivity (Matsuda index; 0.22 (0.03, 0.41)), but this was not independent of BMI. Sex-specific associations were observed, such that both cortisol and corticosterone were associated with higher fasting glucose (standardized β (95% CI): 0.24 (0.12, 0.36) for cortisol and 0.12 (0.01, 0.23) for corticosterone) and HbA1c (0.13 (0.01, 0.25) for cortisol and 0.12 (0.01, 0.24) for corticosterone) in men only, but lower HbA1c (0.10 (−0.20, −0.01) for cortisol and −0.09 (−0.18, −0.03) for corticosterone) in women only. Our study reports for the first time that associations between circulating glucocorticoid concentrations and key cardiometabolic risk factors exhibit both glucocorticoid- and sex-specificity in Africans.

Published: July 2021

We report a case of metastatic pancreatic neuroendocrine carcinoma associated with paraneoplastic Cushing’s syndrome, successively treated with five lines of treatment (platin-etoposide, LV5FU2-dacarbazine, FOLFIRINOX, pembrolizumab, and paclitaxel) and anti-secretory treatment. Circulating-free DNA (cfDNA) was analysed at each morphological evaluation starting from the second-line treatment. cfDNA changes were well correlated with the disease course, and cfDNA may be used as a predictive marker and/or as an early marker of response. In addition, the absolute count of atypical cells was elevated upon disease progression.

Learning points

cfDNA changes were well correlated with the Cushing’s syndrome course and with the tumour burden changes assessed by laboratory markers and by RECIST criteria.

cfDNA analysis was used to determine the pharmacogenetic patterns of the present patient.

An elevated number of atypical circulating cells was noticed upon disease progression.
The sodium iodide symporter (NIS): novel applications for radionuclide imaging and treatment
Authors: Spitzweg C , Nelson P J , Wagner E , Bartenstein P , Weber W A , Schwaiger M , Morris J C
Published: July 2021

Cloning of the sodium iodide symporter (NIS) 25 years ago has opened an exciting chapter in molecular thyroidology with the characterization of NIS as one of the most powerful theranostic genes and the development of a promising gene therapy strategy based on image-guided selective NIS gene transfer in non-thyroidal tumors followed by application of 131I or alternative radionuclides, such as 188Re and 211At. Over the past two decades, significant progress has been made in the development of the NIS gene therapy concept, from local NIS gene delivery towards promising new applications in disseminated disease, in particular through the use of oncolytic viruses, non-viral polyplexes, and genetically engineered MSCs as highly effective, highly selective and flexible gene delivery vehicles. In addition to allowing the robust therapeutic application of radioiodine in non-thyroid cancer settings, these studies have also been able to take advantage of NIS as a sensitive reporter gene that allows temporal and spatial monitoring of vector biodistribution, replication, and elimination – critically important issues for preclinical development and clinical translation.

Published: July 2021

En este trabajo se evalúa cuales variables, dentro de las que resultan más entendibles para un atleta, resultan predictoras de la altura del salto con contramovimiento (CMJ). Doce jugadores de voleibol amateur (24,5 ± 2,7 años; 1,85 ± 0,6 m; 80,3 ± 5,2 kg; mean ± SD) participaron del estudio. Se evaluaron las relaciones entre 15 variables cinemáticas y la altura del salto usando el coeficiente de correlación se Spearman. Con un modelo de regresión multivariado, fue determinado que la velocidad máxima de extensión de la rodilla y el tiempo de transición durante el apoyo son predictores independientes. Se concluyó que la velocidad de extensión de rodilla es el factor más importante para la altura del salto y se observó que cambios dentro del rango tolerado para la acción de la rodilla, podrían afectar las evaluaciones basadas en la altura máxima del CMJ.

Authors: Flores-Rodríguez J. , Ramírez-Macías G.
Published: July 2021

El objetivo del presente trabajo fue analizar la influencia que ejercen determinados constreñimientos o limitaciones de la tarea en el aprendizaje de habilidades defensivas en balonmano. Empleando un diseño observacional y mediante el uso de un instrumento de observación ad hoc, se registraron los comportamientos realizados por 14 jugadores (M=14,6) a lo largo de seis sesiones, mientras disputaron 18 partidos en situación de juego reducido, empleando ambos equipos un sistema defensivo individual. Los partidos se disputaron en presencia de tres constreñimientos, y para estudiar su influencia en los comportamientos de los jugadores, se utilizó la técnica de coordenadas polares. Se encontró que la prohibición del bote facilita la defensa de desmarques, mientras que la obligatoriedad de recibir y pasar en movimiento facilita la defensa de fintas, interceptaciones, así como, la realización de doblajes y deslizamientos. Estos resultados pueden ayudar a los entrenadores a optimizar sus programas de entrenamiento.

Published: July 2021

Este estudio tiene como objetivo investigar el proceso de recepción y apropiación del trabajo de Norbert Elías en el campo de la Educación Física brasileña. Para cumplir tal objetivo, se realizó un análisis de las ocho principales revistas científicas socioculturales del país. Después de la recolección de datos, se encontraron 452 estudios que tenían alguna relación con la referencia del autor. Entre los principales resultados, se señala que el proceso de recepción del trabajo del sociólogo comenzó alrededor de la década de 1990, intensificándose solo en la presente década. Aunque ha habido un crecimiento de estudios en relación con las contribuciones de Elías en la literatura, al analizar los textos de muestra, se dio cuenta que solo el 17,61% tenía una apropiación profunda del modus operandi elíasiano. Además, la mayoría de los estudios estaban relacionados con el deporte y el ocio, lo que indica la posibilidad de que el autor sea explorado en otros contextos.

Published: July 2021

El objetivo de este estudio fue examinar los efectos de un programa de actividad física (AF) de andar en la función muscular en pacientes con EPOC (Enfermedad Pulmonar Obstructiva Crónica), con un seguimiento de 12 meses. Se reclutaron 44 hombres (70,3 ± 6,7 años) diagnosticados de EPOC moderado-severo. El grupo intervención realizó un programa de actividad física (GAF) y el grupo control (GCO) siguió su tratamiento estándar. Se midió la fuerza máxima (1RM) del miembro inferior y superior, la potencia muscular del miembro inferior (50% y 70% 1RM) y la actividad física, antes y después de 12 meses. A los 12 meses, incremento un 8% (P<0,01) la 1RM del miembro inferior en GAF, sin cambios en GCO. La potencia muscular al 50%1RM incrementó un 12% en GAF, disminuyendo un 9% in GCO (P<0,05). Un programa de AF incrementa la fuerza y preserva la potencia muscular del miembro inferior.

There is increasing interest in regenerated cellulose (RC) films for advanced manufacturing applications using natural polymers and renewable materials. In this study, RC films were isolated via solution casting process using microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) and the ionic liquid 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride ([BMIM]Cl). Initially, MCC was synthesized from oil palm empty fruit bunch using total chlorine-free (TCF) pulping and acid hydrolysis. Effects of MCC on the structures and physicochemical properties of the isolated RC films were determined for 4 wt%, 6.5 wt%, and 9 wt% of MCC at 80 °C. Several analytical methods were employed to evaluate degree of crystallinity, chemical stability, mechanical properties, morphology, opacity, water vapor permeability, and thermal stability of the RC films. The results showed that the addition of 6.5 wt% of MCC yielded the greatest tensile strength. Compared with the RC films with 6.5 wt% of MCC, thermal stability and water vapor permeability slightly increased when the MCC content was 9 wt%. According to the analytic hierarchy process (AHP), 6.5 wt% of MCC was the optimum MCC concentration to mix with [BMIM]Cl to manufacture RC films for packaging applications, while 9 wt% of MCC was ideal for photocatalytic and electrically conductive thin film applications.

This study examined the ability of unmilled and ball-milled bamboo activated using KOH or KMnO4 to fulfil the activated carbon standard parameters. Chemical activation was done using KOH and KMnO4 at 2.5% and 5% concentration, heated at 800 °C, and steamed for 1 hour. Sample size was reduced to 500 nm using high energy ball-milling at 500 rpm for 80, 150, or 180 min. Analysis included the yield, water content, ash content, volatile matter content, burn-off weight percentage, morphology analysis, functional groups (Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, FTIR), crystallinity analysis (X-ray diffraction, XRD), and Brunauer, Emmett, and Teller (BET) analysis. Ball-milling treatment for 150 min produced activated carbon of 449 nm in size and a particle distribution index (PDI) score of 0.66. Ball milled activated carbon from the experiment had a pore radius ranging from 1.18 to 2.49 nm. The activated carbon that met the criteria of ANSI/AWWA B604-12 (2012) standard for moisture content, iodine number, and JIS K 1474 (1967) standard for methylene blue adsorption level and surface area were milled activated carbon with activator KMnO4 2.5%.

Published: July 2021

En la actualidad, está cobrando fuerza el enfoque de universidad emprendedora, como aquella que despliega un ecosistema emprendedor universitario que fomenta el emprendimiento en sus estudiantes. En tal sentido, la investigación propone ahondar en el concepto de ecosistema emprendedor universitario e identificar los principales factores que lo generan, a partir de un estudio de carácter exploratorio y cualitativo, revisando literatura reciente en las bases de datos Scopus, ScienceDirect y EBSCO. Los resultados permiten identificar seis factores clave que generan un ecosistema emprendedor universitario, destacando el compromiso estratégico y cultura emprendedora institucional, la asignación de recursos y la formación en emprendimiento. Se concluye que la sociedad demanda a las universidades cumplir una tercera misión, la cual consiste en promover el emprendimiento, por ello es necesario continuar profundizando sobre los factores que inciden en crear un ecosistema emprendedor universitario.

El objetivo del presente estudio fue identificar los factores asociados a la intención de consumo de alimentos nativos en estudiantes de la Universidad Nacional Agraria La Molina, durante el semestre 2019-II, en la ciudad de Lima. Se utilizó la técnica de la encuesta y como instrumento de recolección se utilizó el cuestionario. Se recolectaron 177 encuestas válidas a través de un muestreo probabilístico por conglomerados. Para el contraste de hipótesis se aplicaron dos pruebas estadísticas: la Prueba Chi Cuadrado de Pearson y la Prueba de correlación de Spearman. En ambas pruebas se halló una asociación estadísticamente significativa entre la variable intención de consumo de alimentos nativos y las variables: actitud, norma subjetiva y control percibido sobre el consumo de los mencionados alimentos. Se concluye que la intención de consumir alimentos nativos en la Universidad Nacional Agraria La Molina está relacionada con la actitud, la norma subjetiva y el control percibido sobre realizar dicho comportamiento.

Repercusiones en la liquidez de las microempresas ubicadas en el distrito de La Victoria, ciudad de Lima, originadas por las percepciones del Impuesto General a las Ventas en las importaciones a los repuestos vehiculares
Authors: Chiscul Padilla Miguel Angel
Published: July 2021

El presente artículo trata de ver las repercusiones en la liquidez de las microempresas ubicadas en el distrito de La Victoria, ciudad de Lima, generadas por el pago de la Percepción del Impuesto General a las Ventas que grava a las importaciones de repuestos vehiculares. El Impuesto General a las Ventas (IGV) es un tributo que grava la transferencia de bienes y servicios que se realizan en nuestro país, incluso grava los contratos de construcción, primera venta de inmuebles e importaciones. Demostrar su incidencia negativa que afecta el cumplimiento de sus compromisos de corto plazo. Todos los importadores deben adelantar el pago del Impuesto General a las Ventas en favor del fisco, para posteriormente deducirlo cuando corresponda pagar dicho impuesto, es decir cuando dichas mercancías importadas sean vendidas, o sea en otras palabras que el referido pago constituye un financiamiento que se hace en favor del estado a costa de la liquidez de los importadores. En ocasiones los empresarios recurren a préstamos bancarios para poder cumplir con esta obligación a fin de nacionalizar las mercancías importadas generándoles sobrecostos por los intereses que generan y afectando negativamente la rentabilidad de la empresa.
