Optional Materials of the Printed Liturgiarion [in the Light of Selected Examples from the Kyiv Metropolitanate in the 16th and 17th Century]
Authors: Nowak Alicja Z.
Published: September 2018

In 16th–17th-century’s liturgical books one can find numerous additions regarded as redundant and optional. These paratextual elements are: verbal (e.g., prefaces, dedicational verses or letters, afterwords, introductions), iconic (schemas, illustrations) and both combined. Unnecessary materials in printed liturgiarions apart from the above-mentioned are: teachings of Jan Chrysostom, Basil the Great and Gregory Dialogos – the authors of Divine Liturgy and the short eulogistic compositions about Church Fathers, sometimes accompanied by their images. These additional elements are great evidence of development of liturgical practice, documents certifying intellectual level of Ruthenian clergy and renovating ambitions of hierarchy. For this reason, they should be widely considered as worthy sources in the study about religion reform in the Metropolitanate of Kiev and of a church culture in old Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth.
Mihanović Homiliarium in the Monastery of St Prohor of Pčinja: an Overlooked Fragment of a Cognate Serbian Parchment Manuscript Copy of the 14th Century
Authors: Темчин Сергей
Published: September 2018

The article presents an analysis of a Cyrillic parchment fragment of Serbian provenance once kept in the monastery of St Prohor of Pčinja and published by J. Hadži-Vasiljević in 1900. The fragment is now identified as belonged to a manuscript copy which had been made from the famous Mihanović Homiliarium. This identification leads to the conclusion that the Mihanović Homiliarium must have been kept in the same monastery of St Prohor of Pčinja already in late 14th c.
Fates of the Old Czech Annals [Text F]
Authors: Černá Alena M.
Published: September 2018

The collection of Hussite chronicles called Old Czech Annals contains more than thirty manuscripts some of which have been left out of the research spotlight. One of them is the Czech written text F (called “of Stockholm”) from the second half of the 15th century, currently stored under the signature G 10, no. 432 in the Moravian Municipal Archive in Brno, nevertheless, until 1878, it had been held in Stockholm as a spoil. The text F describes the course of events on the Czech territory from the years 1393 to 1453. Particular emphasis is laid on the events taking place during the Hussite revolution (after 1419) narrated, from the perspective of moderate Utraquism, by an anonymous Prague chronicler. Even though he, in his descriptions, consciously evades to include his evaluation of the events, striving for being an objective and impartial, unbiased observer, it is possible, at times, to read his attitude and opinion from his language rendering, which we instantiate with citations from the manuscript. A copy of the manuscript was acquired during its brief borrowing from Sweden to Prague in 1819 by Václav Hanka (1791–1861), a prominent representative of the Czech National Revival. The copy is stored in the National Museum Library, signature III F 9.

Rodzaje aukcji na wytwarzanie energii elektrycznej z odnawialnych źródeł energii w świetle przepisów ustawy o odnawialnych źródłach energii
Authors: Kosiński Eryk , Trupkiewicz Marcin
Published: September 2018

After an analysis of certain legal texts, the authors have established that under Polish law the President of the Energy Regulatory Offi ce may conduct 56 diff erent types of auctions for generators of the electric energy from renewable sources (RSE). For each individual RSE installation complying with the RES parameters a separate auction may be carried. One RSE installation may take part in several RSE auctions provided it satisﬁ es the parameters of each individual installation. These parameters concern both the premises connected with the start-up process (the commencement of the production of electric energy) of a given installation and the premises of technical nature such as carbon dioxide emission or the level of the installation capacity used, as well as premises of a subjective character regarding individual producers participating in the auction. A detailed analysis of all types of RSE auctions described in the Act of 20 February 2015 on renewable sources of energy allows to determine which types of installation may take part in individual actions. However, of key importance from the point of view of the possibility of a RSE auction to be carried are secondary regulations which allow the Council of Ministers to determine individual types of RSE auctions in which the volume of energy, subject of the auction, will be made available. Consequently the Council of Ministers which runs the State policy within the area of RSE has become essentially responsible not only for the possibility of conducting an RSE auction, but also for the implementation of the EU climate and energy policy which is also binding upon Poland.
Problemy związane z deﬁnicją lasu w polskim systemie prawnym
Authors: Bujny Jędrzej , Mądry Tymoteusz
Published: September 2018

The article touches upon the controversies around the deﬁ nition of a forest contained in the provision of Article 3 of the Act of 28 September 1991 on forests, present in the doctrine as well as in judicial decisions in administrative law. The interpretation of the above provision is analysed and the views presented in the doctrine and the judicial rulings, which sometimes include contradicting arguments, are examined. In the ﬁ rst part of the article individual elements of the deﬁ nition of a forest have been identiﬁ ed and the diffi culties with their interpretation that have led to the emergence of a vast number of judicial decisions and rulings delivered by administrative courts as well as the Supreme Court have been presented. The second part contains deliberations on the importance of the data included in the land and buildings register and their potential use for the classiﬁ cation of land as a forest on the grounds of concrete administrative proceedings, including these on tax matters. In this context the normative value of the provisions of the Act of 17 May 1989: Geodetic and Cartographic Law and individual tax laws making these data binding and applicable has been examined as well. Also this latter issue generates frequently diverging opinions expressed by administrative courts. The last part of the paper contains de lege lata and de lege ferenda postulates intended to reconcile the presented controversies connected with the classiﬁ cation of individual land as forest. The authors hope that implementation of these postulates will contribute to the uniﬁ cation of the judiciary opinions regarding the concept of a forest and consequently will help to eliminate the existing doubts.

Najnowsze zmiany ustawy o postępowaniu egzekucyjnym w administracji
Authors: Kożuch Piotr
Published: September 2018

The Act on Administrative Enforcement Proceedings was adopted on 17 June 1966. The Act constitutes the basis of enforcement proceedings in administration and has been in force for the last ﬁfty years. Despite many political and socio-economic changes during that period, the national legislature decided not to introduce any new legislation but simply modify the existing regulations. This study aims to describe and explain the amendments to the law on administrative proceedings which came into force on 1 January 2016. These amendments are connected with the solutions worked out in the model structures of tax administration organisations resulting from the enactment of the Act on Tax Administration of 10 July 2015 and require extensive discussion as they change the essential components of the procedure i.e. initiation of enforcement proceedings by creditors, exclusion of the Minister of Finance from the jurisdiction in the second instance in individual cases of enforcement procedure, the possibility of authorising local governments own organisational units to exercise the rights and obligations of the creditor and the enforcement authority, postponement of enforcement proceedings or enforcement actions, mandatory elements of an administrative enforcement title, the procedure adopted by an enforcement authority at the stage of examining the admissibility of an enforcement order, information rights of the enforcement authority, recognition of complaints regarding enforcement actions (general and connected with applying a speciﬁc enforcement measure) as well as the excessive length of proceedings and elimination of enforcement costs if creditors are tax offices or customs chambers.
Pre-Disaster Established Trust and Relationships: Two Major Factors Influencing the Effectiveness of Implementing the ICS
Authors: Chang Ray , Trainor Joseph
Published: September 2018

Since the establishment of the Incident Command System (ICS), many discussions have centered on its design, using the failure or success of disaster response to evaluate the effectiveness of this system. However, even prior to implementation, there are certain pre-conditions that must be first satisfied by responders. Two major factors underlying these pre-conditions, that strongly influence the eventual design and consequent functioning of the ICS, are pre-disaster established trust and relationships. This research utilizes qualitative methods to explore the importance of pre-disaster established trust and relationships in the implementation of the ICS. Twenty-eight in-depth qualitative interviews were completed and analyzed. From looking at how ICS users make a variety of different decisions regarding the establishment of the incident command, the setting up of overall response goals and objectives, the implementation of the Incident Action Plan, the selection of new ICS leaders, and the working arrangements made with volunteers, it can be observed that relationship and trust are two very important factors that dictate the successful implementation of the ICS. Based on this analysis, three conclusions could be drawn in this research: (1) any thorough evaluation of the ICS should also include an analysis of any existing pre-conditions, (2) future ICS training should cover strategies to build relationships and trust between response organizations, and (3) additional research should be conducted to understand other factors that influence the implementation of the ICS at scene of disaster.
Pain self-efficacy moderates the association between pain and somatization in a community sample
Authors: Karkkola Petri , Sinikallio Sanna , Flink Niko , Honkalampi Kirsi , Kuittinen Matti
Published: September 2018

Background and aims

Pain is a common condition. However, only a minority of people experiencing pain develop a chronic pain problem. Factors such as somatization, pain self-efficacy and lack of psychological well-being affect the risk of pain chronicity and pain-related disability. However, research on protective pain-related psychological factors in populations without chronic pain is scarce. We aim to examine if pain self-efficacy attenuates the associations between pain and both anxiety and somatization in a community sample.

Methods

In a cross-sectional study, 211 participants from a community sample responded to measures of average pain over the last 3 months, anxiety, somatization, and pain self-efficacy. The possibility of moderation effects were tested with a series of regression analyses.

Results

The association between pain and anxiety was not moderated by pain self-efficacy. In contrast, pain self-efficacy moderated the relation of pain and somatization. The interaction explained 3% of the variance in somatization, in addition to the independent effects of pain and self-efficacy (F(1,207)=5.65, p<0.025). Among those in the bottom quartile of pain self-efficacy, the association between pain and somatization was moderate or strong (r=0.62, p<0.01), whereas for those in the top quartile the association was modest (r=0.11, p>0.05).

Conclusions

The results are partly consistent with the hypothesis that pain self-efficacy attenuates the associations between pain and pain chronification risk factors in a relatively healthy community sample. Should further preferably longitudinal studies replicate the findings, the role pain self-efficacy as a protective factor needs to be explicated in theoretical models of pain chronification.

Implications

The findings are consistent with the notion that clinicians should promote patient’s pain self-efficacy in acute and sub-acute pain conditions especially when the individual is prone to somatization. However, more prominent clinical implications require studies with longitudinal designs.
DFT Calculation of Rhodium-Doped Silver Bromide Crystals: Defect Structures, Photoelectric Property and EPR
Authors: Wu Li-Na , Wu Shao-Yi , Zhang Li-Juan , Liu Xu-Sheng , Zhang Gao-Jun
Published: September 2018

AgBr crystals containing impurity Rh2+ with and without a next nearest neighbor silver vacancy (VAg) in the [001] axis are theoretically studied. The defect structures, bandgap, Mulliken charge, density of states, ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis) and electron paramagnetic resonance spectra are analysed for two distinct (i.e. tetragonally elongated and compressed) centres by using density functional theory calculations. The results demonstrate that the structural, photoelectric and spectroscopic properties of AgBr are significantly changed after Rh substitution. The covalency of Rh-Br bonds in the two centres is stronger than that of pure AgBr according to the larger magnitudes of the overlap population. Compared to pure AgBr, Rh doping also results in significantly enhanced red shifts of absorption bands in the UV-Vis region and some new d-d transitions in the visible and near-infrared regions. Meanwhile, the bandgap of Rh-doped AgBr is about 10 % narrower than that of pure AgBr. As a result, the visible light activity may be enhanced in AgBr:Rh systems. Rh dopants can induce the magnetic moments of about 1.73 μB for both centres. Therefore, transition-metal Rh dopants may effectively modulate the electronic, optical and magnetic properties of AgBr.
Tematizar la memoria del conflicto armado desde la literatura, la música y la narrativa para formar la subjetividad política, la compasión y la ética responsiva
Authors: Mosquera Mosquera Carlos Enrique , Rodríguez Lozano María Nelsy
Published: September 2018

Este artículo presenta parte de los resultados de la tesis doctoral titulada: “El proyecto educativo institucional y la formación de la subjetividad política para un escenario de posconflicto: memoria colectiva del conflicto armado e identidad escolar”. La metodología que se empleó fue la historia oral, y el enfoque fue hermeneútico. El objetivo perseguido para este propósito fue develar el sentido y significado que la memoria colectiva del conflicto armado colombiano tenía para la institución objeto de estudio, a través de la memoria que se vehiculiza en la literatura, la música y la narrativa como dispositivos pedagógicos. Los hallazgos se pueden resumir en que: 1) a través de la literatura, la música y narrativas como dispositivos pedagógicos, se puede hacer pedagogía de la memoria, dado que los sujetos educativos adquieren nuevos sentidos y significados acerca de los impactos del conflicto armado colombiano, 2) al develar el sentido y significado del conflicto armado desde la literatura, la música y narrativas, los sujetos educativos se configuran políticos, éticos, civilizados y compasivos, 3) la ética que surge de la memoria, y que se vehiculiza en literatura, música y narrativas, es diferente a la ética que enseña la escuela a modo de competencias, 4) los alumnos pueden adquirir una identidad transitoria al escuchan imaginativamente al otro que se narra al activarse en ellos los dispositivos éticos (sentimientos de anhelos, deseos, complicidades, simpatías y compatías1) frente a lo que escuchan y frente a la condición de la víctima, 5) el cuidado de sí y cuidado por el otro se da cuando los alumnos frente al alter-víctima adquieren una semántica de la cordialidad, 6) frente al alter-víctima los alumos comprenden que el perdón es un regalo de la víctima y, 7) los alumnos se forman democráticos y se alejan de la lógica de la maldad desde la memoria que comporta la música, cuando estos respetan la diversidad, no se internan en la palabra y encaminan sus acciones hacia la paz.

Published: September 2018

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES:

Congenital hypothyroidism (CHT) is one of the most common preventable causes of learning disability. Newborn screening with whole-blood thyroid-stimulating hormone measurements was introduced in the Republic of Ireland in 1979 and is coordinated from a single center with an unchanged protocol since its inception. Our objective in this study was to describe the incidence of CHT in the Republic of Ireland over the past 37 years in the context of a complete national population and an unchanged screening protocol.

METHODS:

The newborn screening records of all individuals who were diagnosed with CHT between 1979 and 2016 were reviewed. Infants with positive screening results had a whole-blood thyroid-stimulating hormone value of ≥15 mU/L at 72 to 120 hours of life; values of 8 to 15 mU/L required a repeat whole-blood screening test.

RESULTS:

Of 2 361 174 infants who were screened between July 1979 and December 2016, 1063 (662 girls) were diagnosed with CHT (incidence: 0.45 cases per 1000 live births). The number of detected cases increased from 0.27 cases per 1000 live births treated between 1979 and 1991 to 0.41 cases per 1000 live births treated between 1992 and 2004 to 0.65 cases per 1000 live births treated between 2005 and 2016. The increase in detected cases of CHT was predominantly in the normal or hyperplastic gland category.

CONCLUSIONS:

The incidence of CHT has increased significantly in the Republic of Ireland over the past 37 years despite a consistent screening cutoff. The increased rate was not explained by an increased survival rate of preterm infants or a changing population heterogeneity.

Published: September 2018

Raised level of lipoproteide (a) (Lpa) is an independent risk factor of coronary heart disease (CHD) and is also a monogenic predictor (there is growth of prevalence) of aortic stenosis (AS) with the increase of Lpa in population. Lysophosphatide acid, secreted by an enzyme with phospholipase D activity — autotaxin (ATX) is an inflammatory mediator. Humoral immunity involvement in inflammatory processes in coronary arteries and aortic valve might present with the presence of circulating autoantibodies and shifts in the values of cellular immunity.

Aim.To assess the relation of Lpa, ATX and immunity with the presence of AS in chronic CHD patients.

Material and methods.To a single moment study, 210 patients were included, with chronic CHD. Patients were selected to two groups by the presence (main group, n=47) or absence (controls, n=163) of degenerative AS by echocardiography. Patients were taking standard CHD therapy. All patients underwent clinical blood count, lipids concentration and Lpa. ATX, C-reactive protein, autoantibodies to ApoB-100 lipoproteides and their Cu2+-oxidated modifications. Phenotypes of apoprotein (a) were assessed in 168 patients.

Results.CHD patients with degenerative AS were older (74,2±7,8 versus 67,6±9,4 y., p=0,0007), but did not differ by the clinical and biochemical characteristics, level of Lpa and high sensitive С-reactive protein (hsCRP). Concentration of АТХ in plasma was significantly higher (554±95 and 497±105 ng/mL, p=0,001), but the level of IgM autoantibodies against the oxidated lipoproteid (а) (oxLpa) — significantly lower (10,8 [7,9;15,1] and 13,4 [11,4;16,7] relative units, p<0,001) in the main group comparing to control. Neutrophilic-lymphocytal index also differed significantly in the AS group and non-AS (2,04 [1,56;3,14] and 1,72 [1,39;2,14]). By the results of logistic analysis, the age, level of ATX, titer of autoantibodies to oxLpa and neutrophilic-limphocytal index were significant independent predictors of the degenerative AS.

Conclusion.In the patients with chronic CHD, undergoing statin therapy, the levels of ATX, autoantiboides IgM against the oxLpa and relation of neutrophils to lymphocytes, but not the concentration of Lpa and low molecular phenotype of apo(a), were related to AS presence.

Authors: Gabbasov Z. A. , Melnikov I. S. , Byazrova S. V. , Kozlov S. G.
Published: September 2018

Aim. To evaluate most significant risk factors of stent restenosis in coated stents, to develop a logistic model and invent prediction score of restenosis for real clinical practice application.

Material and methods. Totally, 126 patients included, age 40 to 75 y. o. with chronic coronary heart disease, who had undergone repeated coronary arteriography within 6 to 12 month after percutaneous intervention with drug eluting stents implantation. Patients were selected to 2 groups: with restenosis (n=53) and with the none (n=73). Assessment of 35 clinical, laboratory and angiographic properties was done with logistic regression analysis.

Results. There were 4 main risk factors found for restenosis risk: type 2 diabetes, low diameter of stented artery (<2,75 mm), number of simultaneously implanted stents and increased rate of neutrophil to lymphocyte numbers. A logistic model was built that combinates the parameters. ROC-analysis showed high predictive value of the model (square under curve ROC 0,78, p<0,001). Based on the logistic model, a score was invented for prediction of restenosis probability for clinical practice introduction.

Conclusion. The proposed score shows high predictive power and is easy in use, that make it suitable for clinical practice in assessment of the risk of coated stents restenosis.

Ticagrelor and thrombolysis in myocardial infarction: what does the TREAT study change?
Authors: Averkov O. V. , Vechorko V. I.
Published: September 2018

Primary percutaneous intervention (PCI) is a preferable reperfusion method in patients with STEMI. If on-time PCI is not possible, pharmacoinvasive approach is recommended that includes urgent systemic thrombolysis. Regardless the broad usage of ticagrelor in MI patients, its safety in combination with thrombolysis (first 24 hours from STEMI onset) before the year 2018 was unknown. In the TREAT study the patients 18-75 year old with STEMI (symptom onset within 24 hours), received thrombolytic drug, were randomized to ticagrelor or clopidogrel group. In 30 days from randomization it was shown that hemorrhagic safety of ticagrelor, at the level of major bleedings, was non-inferior than of clopidogrel. Therefore the TREAT study results, together with PLATO, make it to widen the indications for ticagrelor (and shift from clopidogrel) within first 24 hours of MI onset in patients received thrombolysis as a method of primary reperfusion.
Myocardial fibrosis and atrial fibrillation
Authors: Grigoryan S. V. , Azarapetyan L. G. , Adamyan K. G.
Published: September 2018

Atrial fibrillation is the most prevalent arrhythmia, and tends to progress. Any structural changes in the heart may lead to its progressive remodelling with increased deposition of connective tissue and fibrosis. Predominance of collagen types I and III synthesis over its degradation leads to accumulation of fibers and to fibrosis. Increase of atrial fibrosis is usually found on autopsy and biopsy. There is relation revealed, of atrial fibrosis grade and postsurgery atrial fibrillation. The mechanisms participating in the structural remodelling and progression of atrial fibrosis are not studied well enough, but there is known role of renin-angiotensinaldosterone system, transforming growth factor, inflammation and matrix metalloproteases. As an alternative, one should consider non-invasive diagnostic methods: magnetic resonance imaging of the heart and biomarkers level measurement. Hyperactivation of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system facilitates structural remodelling of the heart and progression of atrial fibrosis. Hyperexpression of the transforming growth factor leads to selective atrial fibrosis, heterogeneity of excitation conduction and fibrillation onset. Matrix metalloproteases are the marker of extracellular degradation. Study of fibrosis biomarkers makes it to increase significantly the efficacy of atrial fibrillation course prediction.
Main predictors of in-hospital adverse outcomes in non-ST elevation acute coronary syndrome patients with multivessel disease
Authors: Neverova Yu. N. , Tarasov R. S. , Nagirnyak O. A.
Published: September 2018

Aim. To evaluate the range of risk factors associated with adverse cardiovascular events onset in hospital period of follow-up in patients with non-ST elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTEACS) with multivessel disease (MD).

Material and methods. To the study, under the framework of prospective, single-center registry, the NSTEACS and MD patients were included. Depending on the strategy of revascularization, three groups were selected: staged PCI, coronary bypass (CBG) and PCI as the first with CBG as the second stage. As adverse cardiovascular events, the following were taken: death, myocardial infarction, stroke or transient cerebral ishemia, clinically significant bleeding by BARC, repeat nonscheduled revascularization of target vessel. 

Results. Analysis revealed the groups of factors increasing the probability of adverse cardiovascular events. Those are: (1) clinical and demographic  — older age, diabetes, postinfarction cardiosclerosis, multifocal atherosclerosis, chronic renal failure; (2) coronary and surgical — left main stem lesion, severe atherosclerosis by SYNTAX Score, high surgical risk by EuroScore II, revascularization strategy;  (3) predominance of low or moderate risk by GRACE comparing with high risk.

Conclusion. The results have confirmed high predictional significance of clinical and demography and coronary factors for development of adverse cardiovascular diseases. A significant finding of the study was the fact that in a hospital with surgery and endovascular treatment available 24/7, the intermediate and low GRACE risk in NSTEACS and MD is a factor of adverse cardiovascular events development due to revascularization delays if the risk is not high.
AI Rebel Agents
Authors: Coman Alexandra , Aha David W.
Published: September 2018

The ability to say “no” in a variety of ways and contexts is an essential part of being sociocognitively human. Rebel agents are artificially intelligent agents that can refuse assigned goals and plans, or oppose the behavior or attitudes of other agents. Rebel agents can serve purposes such as ethics, safety, task execution correctness, and providing or supporting diverse points of view. Through several examples, we show that, despite ominous portrayals in science fiction, such AI agents with human‐inspired noncompliance abilities have many potential benefits. We present a framework to help categorize and design rebel agents, discuss their social and ethical implications, and assess their potential benefits and the risks they may pose. In recognition of the fact that, in human psychology, noncompliance has profound sociocognitive implications, we also explore sociocognitive dimensions of AI rebellion: social awareness and counternarrative intelligence.

Derechos humanos en las organizaciones de manizales: una evaluación de eventos de vulneración en los empleados
Authors: CARVAJAL OROZCO JOSÉ GABRIEL , PARRA JOSÉ HERNÁN , VALENCIA GARCÍA JULIÁN ANDRÉS
Published: September 2018

El artículo expone el resultado de indagar sobre la experiencia y la percepción de los empleados de organizaciones de la ciudad de Manizales frente a la ocurrencia de eventos constitutivos de vulneración de algunos derechos humanos, que competen a las relaciones internas en la organización. En la primera parte se exponen los antecedentes de la discusión sobre organizaciones y derechos humanos. En la segunda, se documentan los derechos estudiados y se describen los eventos que pueden constituir vulneración a ellos. En la tercera parte se describen los aspectos metodológicos, que muestran cómo el estudio es empírico y descriptivo y para su realización se aplicó una encuesta a 422 empleados de la ciudad. En la parte cuatro se describen los resultados, a nivel de cada derecho seleccionado y cada vulneración identificada. Se termina con la discusión y las conclusiones, en donde se argumenta que la vulneración de los derechos humanos estudiados en las organizaciones es una problemática social, en tanto el reconocimiento de la ocurrencia de eventos problemáticos es alto y está presente en todos los tipos de organizaciones y en todos los grupos de individuos que se consideraron. También se argumenta sobre cómo la relación dirigente / dirigido está en el centro del problema.

Al final, se proponen algunas problemáticas y líneas de investigación para avanzar en el desarrollo del tema.

Authors: PADILLA OSPINA ANA MILENA , RIVERA GODOY JORGE ALBERTO
Published: September 2018

This article shows an analysis of the radio and television’s financial performance in Colombia from 2006 to 2011. To achieve the proposed objective a study of the effectiveness, efficiency and added value of this sector is made using accounting and market information. It is found in this research that the television and radio sector has destroyed value for five years. Situations like the constant inefficiency of physical resources, variations in the efficiency indicators and the behavior of the equity costs are the main factors that influence its financial performance. These results are a precedent of the communication media study which has been scarcely explored.

Determinantes de la generación de residuos sólidos en diez municipios representativos del departamento de Cundinamarca, 2007-2012
Authors: Usaquén Chía Martha Inés , Sánchez Muñoz Maria del Pilar
Published: September 2018

La presente investigación busca establecer los principales determinantes de la generación de residuos sólidos en diez municipios representativos del departamento de Cundinamarca, con más de 2.500 suscriptores, para el período 2007-2012, a partir de la información obtenida del Sistema Único de Información (SUI), de la Superintendencia de Servicios Públicos domiciliarios (SSPD), así como de la información estadística registrada por el DANE, la CAR Cundinamarca, alcaldías municipales y estudios relacionados, principalmente. Se presenta la caracterización de los municipios con variables asociadas con el manejo de residuos sólidos y se utiliza un modelo de datos panel para estimar la relación existente entre la cantidad de residuos sólidos ordinarios per cápita y algunas variables explicativas. Se concluye que la tasa de cobertura en educación primaria, la actividad turística y el porcentaje de población ubicada en el área urbana son variables estadísticamente significativas para explicar la generación de residuos sólidos en los municipios analizados.
El riesgo moral en la revisoría fiscal
Authors: Jaramillo Liliam Betancur
Published: September 2018

La asimetría de información es una condición propia de toda relación contractual, ya que el contratante (principal) no cuenta con el conocimiento de la labor que está asignando, ni verifica lo que realiza al contratado (agente). Surgen varios problemas, uno de ellos es el riesgo moral, que genera situaciones perjudiciales al principal; siendo tan responsable de dicho riesgo el principal como el agente. La revisoría fiscal, como relación contractual no está exenta de dicha asimetría y, por tanto, es posible que surjan riesgos morales en el desarrollo de la fiscalización adelantada por el profesional contratado para este fin; muestra de ello son las acciones por las cuales se sancionaron revisores fiscales durante los últimos cinco años y en las faltas a las normas comentadas en la presentación de dictámenes; estos son ejemplos que permiten afirmar la existencia de riego moral en el desarrollo de la revisoría fiscal.
El alcance de la responsabilidad por daños ambientales
Authors: Munevar Quintero Claudia Alexandra
Published: September 2018

El presente artículo producto de investigación problematiza el alcance de la responsabilidad civil y su aplicación en materia ambiental. Presenta una aproximación al régimen de la responsabilidad civil en Colombia y cada uno de sus elementos. De esta forma, evidencia cómo cada una de sus definiciones y condiciones desbordan la capacidad de determinar el daño y sus perjuicios, establecer la relación de causalidad entre estos y el agente a quien se le imputa. Finalmente, evidencia la complejidad de la valoración del daño que debe ser reparado. El rompimiento de paradigmas clásicos que solo conciben derechos subjetivos para comprender los derechos colectivos y sobre estos otorgar titularidad a generaciones presentes y futuras sobre bienes que hacen parte del haber del “patrimonio común de la humanidad”, evidencia la frágil estructura del régimen de responsabilidad civil para ser aplicado en materia ambiental. En este sentido, dichos vacíos permiten concluir la necesidad de un régimen que comprenda el alcance de la responsabilidad por daños ambientales.

Authors: Martínez Miguel , Pardo Paula
Published: September 2018

The aim of this study is to evaluate the performance of the Equity mutual funds in Colombia. The Colombian mutual fund industry underwent a severe transformation after the Decree 2175/2007. Since then, the increasing asset volume managed and the market oriented investments are in line with the trends in this sector for the most financially developed markets. The study is focus on eight certainly Equity fund portfolios, and covers the period 2008-2011. We apply the unconditional versus the conditional evaluation methodology in order to assess the relevance of the public information in the delegated portfolio management in Colombia. For each fund portfolio, both, a unique and a rolling time performance estimation are obtained. The paper concludes, firstly, that performance has been largely significantly positive for the sample and period considered. It also finds that the differences in performance evaluation attained with both methodologies are negligible. Thus, conditioning information seems not to have been relevant in the Colombian Equity mutual fund industry

Determinantes de la especialización vertical en las empresas industriales de colombia 1992-2009
Authors: Botello Peñaloza Héctor Alberto
Published: September 2018

Bajo las nuevas teorías que explican los orígenes del comercio internacional, este trabajo estudia los determinantes de la especialización vertical en las empresas industriales de Colombia en el período 1992-2009 utilizando un modelo ordenado Probit, con base en la encuesta anual manufacturera (EAM). Entre los resultados, se encuentra que la alta productividad y la dotación por trabajador son los factores de mayor infl uencia para determinar el patrón de comercio de las empresas industriales colombianas. Finalmente no se encontró evidencia empírica de que la política comercial distorsione el patrón de comercio. La informalidad y la baja productividad son obstáculos para la obtención de patrones de comercio más benefi ciosos.
Las relaciones internacionales y la estructura social de acumulación
Authors: O. López de Mesa C. Jaime
Published: September 2018

En las últimas tres décadas el mundo ha vivido dos grandes transformaciones, de una parte desde mediados de los años setentas el advenimiento de una nueva fase de acumulación en el sistema capitalista, atizada por las crisis petroleras y la crisis del Estado de bienestar, entre otros factores. De otra parte, con la caída del muro de Berlín y el fi n de la Guerra Fría se dio inicio a una nueva etapa en las relaciones internacionales, comúnmente denominada el nuevo orden mundial. En este ensayo se plantea que ambos fenómenos van ligados a través de la confi guración de una nueva estructura social de acumulación que por primera vez es global, de carácter neoliberal y que abarca los niveles económicos, sociales y políticos

El nivel de desarrollo del servicio en las tiendas de café a nivel global, sumando la llegada de estas al país y la consolidación de experiencias nacionales, obliga a la transformación de la relación producto - cliente, dirigiéndose principalmente hacia la relación cliente – servicio, originando que sea necesario valorar la percepción del servicio que tienen los clientes de estas tiendas. Se habla entonces de evolución de la venta del producto hacia la prestación del servicio, convirtiéndose en factor fundamental la evaluación de la percepción del servicio y la relación que el consumidor del mismo genera con la tienda especializada de café TEC. El proyecto tiene por objetivo la identifi cación de la percepción de calidad del servicio desde la perspectiva del cliente, aplicándose el modelo SERVQUAL. Basados en el modelo se identifi có que ninguna dimensión del servicio ni atributos se encontraron por encima de la media del servicio esperado “expectativas”, generando una diferencia “GAP” negativa, la dimensión de tangibilidad se acercó más a las expectativas (-0,20); mientras la dimensión que requiere mayor atención es la capacidad de respuesta (-0,61), seguida por la fi abilidad con (-0,51), la empatía con (-0,42) y la seguridad con (-0,33). La media general obtenida de expectativa arrojó una puntuación de (4,02), superior a la obtenida por la percepción califi cada con (3,60).
