Emotional and Behavioral Health Needs in Elementary School Students in an Underserved Hispanic Community
Authors: Guo Yuqing , Rousseau Julie , Hsu Anna S. , Kehoe Priscilla , Daviss Monique , Flores Sara , Renno Patricia , Saunders Kathleen , Phillips Susanne , Evangelista Lorraine S.
Published: September 2017

High rates of mental health problems in adolescents have been well documented; less is known about elementary school children in disadvantaged communities. We examined emotional and behavioral health needs in 202 third and fourth graders enrolled in a charter school in a largely Hispanic community. The child-reported Revised Child Anxiety and Depression Scale-25 and Teacher’s Report Form were used to evaluate mental health needs as perceived by these children and their teachers. The prevalence of teacher-reported depression and child self-reported anxiety was 7.0% and 6.67%, respectively. Living in a single parent household was found to be a specific risk factor in that those children had higher rates of emotional and behavioral problems than children living with both parents. Evidence of higher depression and anxiety identified in this sample compared to national representative data suggests the need for development of culturally sensitive early prevention and intervention in this underserved community.
Fostering Twins’ Identity Development
Authors: Noble Nicole , Bradley Loretta , Parr Gerald , Duemer Lee
Published: September 2017

Families who have twins encounter unique needs and circumstances. Insight into issues twins encounter can improve parental and counseling treatment of twins as well as foster a healthy identity formation. These special issues that twins encounter will be addressed through the following: parenting influences, twin comparisons, sharing, competition, differentiation, bonding, empathy development, separation anxiety, identity development, and various recognized patterns of twinship. Through an understanding of twins’ specific needs and challenges, counselors can be influential in fostering a healthier family system.
‘Different isn’t free’: Gender @ work in a digital world
Authors: Carrigan Coleen
Published: September 2017

US society is thoroughly computerized and the majority of its population engages in activities involving computers. Why, then, does computer science and engineering (CSE) remain highly male-dominated and seemingly impervious to desegregation? This study explores how CSE professionals in corporations and universities navigate and subvert male hegemony to persist. I document practices in CSE that reproduce the ideological union between masculinity and competency, including hazing, bragging, and bullying. These practices, much like rites of passage, also serve to indoctrinate CSE workers to the core values in computing knowledge production, including constant observation, combative work styles, and male hegemony, all of which differentially impact women. Women who persist in CSE describe their experiences as wearisome, constrained by a fear of being different, and thus further marginalized. I argue that processes and value systems by which people become computing professionals reflect a gendered, technocratic culture, one that reproduces labor segregation in CSE.
Taking a cooperative inquiry approach to developing person-centred practice in one English secondary school
Authors: Greenwood Jo , Kelly Catherine
Published: September 2017

Recent legislation within the English special educational needs arena details coordinated child and family centred provision whereby person-centred approaches are advocated for as a central way of working. Pupil voice and participation in planning, however, have not been found to be well embedded in mainstream school practice and are likely to require a high level of understanding and openness, for successful implementation. This paper explores the experiences of a group of educational practitioners aspiring to develop person-centred informed practice by engaging in cycles of inquiry and action. A cooperative inquiry group engaged in dialogue around practice, exploring both personal and professional values and their resonance with values embedded within person-centred practice. A significant claim of the paper is that cooperative inquiry, in its alignment of values with person-centred practice, is a powerful tool to facilitate the learning necessary to embody collaborative person-centred practice, strengthen the voice of both those engaged and in turn the children and young people on the receiving end of practice and make discussable the performative contradiction inherent in developing person-centred practice systemically.
Imaging Hepatocellular Carcinoma With 68Ga-Citrate PET: First Clinical Experience
Authors: Mari Aparici Carina , Behr Spencer C. , Seo Youngho , Kelley R. Kate , Corvera Carlos , Gao Kenneth T. , Aggarwal Rahul , Evans Michael J.
Published: September 2017

While cross-sectional imaging with computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging is the primary method for diagnosing hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), they provide little biological insight into this molecularly heterogeneous disease. Nuclear imaging tools that can detect molecular subsets of tumors could greatly improve diagnosis and management of HCC. To this end, we conducted a patient study to determine whether HCC can be resolved using 68Ga-citrate positron emission tomography (PET). One patient with recurrent HCC was injected with 300 MBq of 68Ga-citrate and imaged with PET/CT 249 minutes post injection. Four (28%) of 14 hepatic lesions were avid for 68Ga-citrate. One extrahepatic lesion was not PET avid. The average maximum standardized uptake value (SUVmax) for the lesions was 7.2 (range: 6.2-8.4), while the SUVmax of the normal liver parenchyma was 4.7 and blood pool was 5.7. The avid lesions were not significantly larger than the quiescent lesions, and a prior contrast CT showed uniform enhancement among the lesions, suggesting that tumor signals are due to specific binding of the radiotracer to the transferrin receptor, rather than enhanced vascularity in the tumor microenvironment. Further studies are required in a larger patient cohort to verify the molecular basis of radiotracer uptake and the clinical utility of this tool.
Normative values and affecting factors for the elbow range of motion
Authors: Zwerus Elisa L , Willigenburg Nienke W , Scholtes Vanessa A , Somford Matthijs P , Eygendaal Denise , van den Bekerom Michel PJ
Published: September 2017

Introduction

Abnormalities in the elbow range of motion (ROM) can be subtle; therefore, it is important that the examiner can compare findings with reliable reference values, matching the patients’ characteristics. Primarily, we aimed to provide normative values for the elbow ROM in subpopulations based on age, sex, dominance and body mass index (BMI). The secondary objective was to determine intra- and inter-rater reliability.

Methods

aROM (active range of motion) and pROM (passive range of motion) were measured bilaterally in healthy adults using a universal goniometer. The influence of factors affecting the ROM was calculated using Pearson’s correlation coefficient. In two samples of subjects, intra-rater and inter-rater reliability were determined.

Results

The study population ( n = 352) consisted of 47.2% male and 52.8% female subjects. For aROM (dominant hand), mean flexion was 146°, extension –2°, pronation 80° and supination 87°. Male subjects had smaller ROM compared to females ( p < 0.001). Differences between dominant and nondominant hand were less than one degree. pROMs were 3° to 5° larger than aROMs ( p < 0.001). Intra- and inter-rater reliability was good.

Conclusions

Elbow ROM is influenced by age, sex and BMI. In the general population, the ROM of the uninjured side can serve as a reference in case of an injured elbow.
Mechanistic insight into the function of the microbiome in lung diseases
Authors: Ubags Niki D.J. , Marsland Benjamin J.
Published: September 2017

The lung harbours a diverse array of microbes whose dynamic composition is influenced by both host and environmental factors. Thus far, most studies have described the microbial composition of healthy or diseased lungs and provided an overview of the differences between topographical locations within the respiratory tract. However, insight into the functional mechanisms underlying host−microbe interactions and how they might drive lung health and disease are limited. This review provides an overview of the current mechanistic understanding of the microbiome, crosstalk between tissue compartments, and its involvement in respiratory diseases.
Is inpatient bed number associated with the length of stay? A retrospective, single centre analysis
Authors: Cromb Daniel , Cheung Ronny , Blaker Paul
Published: September 2017

Background:

Hospital ward rounds often start at one end of the ward and progress in order of bed number. Anecdotal experience suggested that patients towards the end of a ward had longer stays.

Methods:

Data regarding hospital bed number and length of stay were collected retrospectively for all patients admitted to a single ward over a four month period and analysed to identify any correlation.

Results:

A significant positive correlation between bed number and length of stay was identified (N = 308; Rs = 0.143; p = 0.012). Patients in the second half of the ward had significantly longer stays than those in the first half (p = 0.019), as did those in the last third compared with the first (p = 0.025).

Discussion:

Patients in beds with higher bed numbers seem to have longer lengths of stay, and this effect is more pronounced in patients whose stays are longer than average. Further studies are needed to investigate whether this result is applicable in other settings.
Current waiting times in a UK musculoskeletal general x-ray department
Authors: Barlow Nicholas , Owens Melissa
Published: September 2017

Patient waiting times are a key health policy concern worldwide; however, there is little literature investigating the impact of referral–examination waiting times in x-ray. This mixed-method study explores this issue in relation to waiting times in musculoskeletal primary care x-ray within a UK Trust, encompassing three hospital sites. Patient satisfaction levels are obtained, including their perceived maximum acceptable waiting time and choice of attendance time. Data were obtained via the Trust's Radiology Information System and through a patient survey which comprised of both closed and open questions. Survey results reveal an average waiting time of 12 days from referral to x-ray. Fifty-one percent of patients believed a maximum waiting period of 1 week or sooner would be the ideal. Template analysis was used to analyse the qualitative data and identified two key themes that influenced patient choice of appointment times. The first was ‘physical conditions’ including pain and illness, and the second ‘lifestyles’, including work, transport and carer availability. It is hoped that this data may be used to inform future UK studies regarding waiting time policy in x-ray. Locally, this study will form the basis of wider participatory action research towards implementing an open access appointments policy in x-ray.
Amphetamine use in pregnancy: Perinatal approaches to improve maternal and neonatal outcomes
Authors: Nel Steffne , Geraghty Sadie
Published: September 2017

As the rates of amphetamine use continue to rise, so do the significant social and health implications associated with substance abuse in communities. This presents unique challenges for women, newborns and providers of perinatal care. This article aims to explore amphetamine use among women of childbearing age, and the subsequent effects on the woman and fetus/newborn. The complexity of these cases require a collaborative, woman-centred and multidisciplinary approach, in addition to specialised interventions and adjustments regarding routine antenatal, intrapartum and postnatal plans of care
Level of adherence to ICM global standards of midwifery education in Brunei: Survey results
Authors: Yusop Dyg Asnah Binti Haji , Musa Hjh Jainah Binti Hj , Elavally Sujitha , Bakar Arni Nur Aqilah Binti , Venkatasalu Munikumar Ramasamy
Published: September 2017

Background

The International Confederation of Midwives' (ICM) Global Standards of Midwifery Education aim to address dissimilarities in undergraduate midwifery education. Adherence to ICM standards is expected, in order to maintain high standards of midwifery education and yield high quality, competent midwives.

Aim

To explore levels of adherence to the ICM Global Standards of Midwifery Education in Brunei.

Methods

An online survey was developed, comprising 22 questions. Cross-sectional data were gathered among midwifery faculty members and students at one of Brunei's national universities. Data were analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics.

Findings

Although students perceived a few categories to be slightly less adherent to the ICM Global Standards than the faculty members, there was no significant difference between students and faculty members in terms of the ICM Global Standards score.

Conclusions

Adherence to the ICM Global Standards of Midwifery Education was found to be satisfactory, although there are some ways in which this could be improved.
Tongue-tie and breastfeeding: Identifying problems in the diagnostic and treatment journey
Authors: Wakelin Rachel , Howe Amanda , Fleetcroft Robert , Stöckl Andrea
Published: September 2017

Background

Tongue-tie is a common condition that often adversely affects breastfeeding. There is research that suggests that frenulotomy can improve breastfeeding but there is also evidence of lack of professional knowledge on tongue-tie.

Methods

This was a qualitative interview study with GPs, midwives, health visitors and nine mothers to explore facilitators and barriers to receiving a diagnosis of and treatment for tongue-tie.

Findings

Mothers told a common story of having to push for support, experiencing diagnostic and treatment delays and suffering ongoing distress, which threatened their ability to establish breastfeeding. Mothers also described feeling vulnerable in the neonatal period, and witnessing a variation in professional knowledge about tongue-tie.

Conclusions

Variable professional knowledge, conflicting advice, and a delayed diagnosis can lead to a difficult patient pathway. Assessment for tongue-tie should be considered when approaching infants with feeding difficulties. Frenulotomy should also be considered and services made available where findings suggest the cause is structural and breastfeeding support has not helped.

Reduction of a finger in the out-of-hospital arena?
Authors: Woodford Peter
Published: September 2017

Introduction:

Paramedics can find themselves called to digit dislocations. This is challenging as a dislocation can present in various ways, bringing residual damage to tissue and underlying structures from prolonged displacement. The aim is to limit impact on the welfare of the patient and the paramedic's objective is always to get the dislocation reduced as soon as a possible in a quick and safe manner.

Dislocation:

The most common dislocation of the digit is at the proximal interphalangeal joint (PIPJ), also known as the ‘coach's finger’. PIPJ injuries are commonly seen in ball sports; the dislocation is mainly dorsal in presentation, and normally closed and stable. It is vital that the paramedic undertakes an in-depth digit assessment in order to be equipped with an appropriate treatment plan for the presentation, which can manage the dislocated digit.

Discussion—pain relief:

While there has been extensive study of systemic analgesia in emergency medical services (EMS), there is little out-of-hospital research on digit ring blocks and the use of regional anesthetics by paramedics in the pre-hospital setting.

X-ray:

The evidence is contradictory as some insist that X-ray must be carried out pre-reduction, where other authors state that reduction first is acceptable, but only after a thorough assessment.

Reduction:

There is a distinct lack of evidence for out-of-hospital digit reduction, too sparse for any robust argument to be built.

Conclusion:

The suggestion is that reduction of the PIPJ dislocation in the out-of-hospital arena is not supported, owing to a lack of evidence. Until more studies are carried out and patient follow-up is proved to be negative with no ongoing digit impact, this skill needs to be undertaken in appropriate locations supported by X-ray.
Building the concept of research impact literacy
Authors: Bayley Julie Elizabeth , Phipps David
Published: September 2017

Impact is an increasingly significant part of academia internationally, both in centralised assessment processes (for example, UK) and funder drives towards knowledge mobilisation (for example, Canada). However, narrowly focused measurement-centric approaches can encourage short-termism, and assessment paradigms can overlook the scale of effort needed to convert research into effect. With no ‘one size fits all’ template possible for impact, it is essential that the ability to comprehend and critically assess impact is strengthened within the research sector. In this paper we reflect on these challenges and offer the concept of impact literacy as a means to support impact at both individual and institutional levels. Opportunities to improve impact literacy are also discussed.

Being Black in a White World: Understanding Racism in British Universities
Authors: Sian Katy
Published: September 2017

Este artículo examina críticamente las experiencias de racismo de académicos que trabajan en universidades británicas. El marco conceptual en el que se apoya son la teoría crítica de la raza y el feminismo postcolonial. Estas perspectivas teóricas se entrelazan con el fin de presentar una serie de imágenes que documentan los diversos retos y barreras que se encuentran académicos británicos de color y de diversidad en la educación superior. La base empírica de este trabajo es cualitativa, habiéndose realizado una serie de entrevistas en profundidad y semi-estructuradas con académicos de color y de diversidad, y que en su mayoría trabajan en el ámbito de las ciencias sociales y las humanidades. Las personas entrevistadas provienen de una amplia gama de orígenes raciales, religiosos y etno-nacionales, y ocupan diferentes posiciones académicas dentro de la estructura universitaria. A través de un trabajo minucioso sobre el material empírico, este texto analiza los efectos de la naturaleza estructural y sistémica del racismo tal y como es experienciada por las personas entrevistadas. El artículo se focaliza en tres temas clave, incluyendo microagresiones y racismo institucional, docencia, y ascenso y apoyo
Géographies de la catastrophe. Ordre et désordres dans la gestion des catastrophes "naturelles"
Authors: Revet Sandrine
Published: September 2017

Desde hace algunas décadas, los desastres llamados “naturales” se han convertido en un objeto de atención creciente por parte de actores internacionales en relación tanto con su gestión como con su prevención. El mundo internacional de los desastres ha elaborado un conjunto de dispositivos que buscan ordenar el caos anticipado que el desastre producirá. Esta ordenación pasa principalmente por intentar hacer coincidir los espacios, los roles y las identidades. En los territorios tocados por un desastre, los habitantes se convierten en “damnificados” cuando pasan por la tienda de campaña en la que ese estatus les es concedido, luego se convierten en “desplazados” cuando se suben al camión que les llevará a un nuevo lugar de vida. Estos dispositivos se construyen apoyándose en representaciones de identidades en situación de crisis estrechamente ligadas a un espacio. Ahora bien, la investigación etnográfica llevada a cabo en diferentes lugares en los que los dispositivos de gestión de desastres son puestos en marcha en América Latina, muestra que esas coincidencias no se producen sistemáticamente y que las personas tienen posibilidad de formular críticas, principalmente saliendo de la geografía del orden y tomando una cierta distancia con los roles que les son atribuidos. El artículo se interesa por esos momentos en los que la crítica es formulada bien durante los ejercicios de preparación de los desastres bien durante situaciones reales.

Published: September 2017

O objetivo do estudo foi comparar a composição físico-química do leite in natura de vacas mestiças em diferentes níveis de produção e a influência da ordem de parição e o estádio de lactação na composição química do leite de vacas de alta produção. A pesquisa foi realizada no município de Rio Verde no sudoeste do estado de Goiás. Foram coletadas 784 amostras de leite in natura de vacas mestiças no experimento I que foram divididas em três níveis de produção. No segundo procedimento experimental, as amostras coletadas resultaram em 657 amostras de leite in natura, sendo divididas em 4 fases do estádio de lactação das vacas e divididas em oito ordens de parição, no qual novilhas de primeira cria correspondiam a 1ª ordem e vacas multíparas a partir da 2ª cria até a oitava. Para análise de variância e comparação de média utilizou-se o delineamento inteiramente casualizado e o teste de Tukey a 5% de significância utilizando o software SISVAR. Os diferentes níveis de produção resultaram em diferenças físico-químicas dos componentes do leite, portanto, os percentuais encontrados podem não só estar relacionados com o nível, mas também ao estádio de lactação e ordem de parição do animal.

System kształcenia doktorantów w Polsce wymaga gruntownej przebudowy. Najbardziej efektywnym rozwiązaniem może być system oparty o tzw. szkoły doktorskie, prowadzone przez najlepsze uniwersytety. Szkoły takie mogłyby przyczynić się do poprawy jakości doktoratów i dzięki temu stać się istotnym elementem budowania reputacji i prestiżu uniwersytetu. Ich powstanie powinno przede wszystkim sprzyjać tworzeniu optymalnych warunków do prowadzenia badań naukowych przez doktorantów oraz ich wszechstronnego rozwoju. Szkoły doktorskie powinny mieć z jednej strony zapewnioną autonomię, z drugiej zaś – dobrze określony zakres odpowiedzialności. Zaproponowane tu rozwiązanie konfrontowane jest z różnymi modelami kształcenia doktorantów w Europie.

English Language Curricula: A Comparison of University English Departments in a Chinese Province
Authors: Wen Zhao , Coniam David , Yangyu Xiao
Published: September 2017

Many higher education institutions around the world have established quality control systems to maintain standards. This study reports on the issue of comparing English language curricula by means of an institutional review in a northeast province in China in 2012. The study was essentially a qualitative inquiry with data collected online through documents submitted by the institutions and through semi-structured follow-up interviews. Thirty-seven participants from 12 institutions participated in the study. Research findings indicated that curriculum orientations varied across institutions and were reflected in their curriculum designs. Such a modus operandi, it is anticipated, may shed useful light on the understanding of curriculum reform currently being conducted in China in light of the rising demand for, and the needs of, internationalized and localized curricula, as well as providing an understanding of curricula at various institutions.
Spannungsgesteuerte Natriumkanäle und Schmerz
Authors: Nau Carla , Leipold Enrico
Published: September 2017

Schmerzhafte Reize werden von spezialisierten Nervenzellen, den sog. Nozizeptoren, registriert und in Aktionspotenziale übersetzt, die entlang afferenter Bahnen in das zentrale Nervensystem gelangen und dort als Schmerz interpretiert werden. Spannungsgesteuerte Natriumkanäle (NaV-Kanäle) sind für die Funktion der Nozizeptoren von entscheidender Bedeutung, denn sie generieren die Aktionspotenziale und sorgen für deren gerichtete Fortleitung. Die besondere Rolle der Kanalsubtypen NaV1.7, NaV1.8 und NaV1.9 für die Fortleitung nozizeptiver Signale wurde in den vergangenen Jahren in einer Vielzahl von Studien herausgearbeitet, die genetisch bedingte Fehlfunktionen dieser Kanäle mit verschiedenen Schmerzerkrankungen assoziieren. Im Folgenden wird ein Überblick über Aufbau und Funktionsweise der Isoformen NaV1.7, NaV1.8 und NaV1.9 gegeben, die mit ihnen assoziierten Krankheitsbilder vorgestellt sowie gegenwärtige und zukünftige NaV-basierte Strategien zur Schmerzbehandlung diskutiert.
Pain processing in the thalamocortical system
Authors: Groh Alexander , Mease Rebecca , Krieger Patrik
Published: September 2017

The transduction of painful stimuli into the experience of pain involves several peripheral and central signaling pathways of the nervous system. The organization of these pathways parallels the main functions of pain: the assessment of noxious stimuli (where, what, how strong), and the negative emotion of unpleasantness. Multiple lines of evidence suggest that the thalamocortical (TC) system, which interprets ascending pain signals, has two main pathways which support these functions. We discuss the structural and functional findings that support the view that the lateral TC pathway is involved in discriminative assessment of pain, while the medial TC pathway gives rise to aversive emotions associated with pain. Our review focuses on acute pain, but we also discuss putative TC maladaptations in humans and animal models of pain that are thought to underlie pathological pain sensations.
Je ll’ai vu: Perception-driven allomorphic optimization of Frenchl’
Authors: Brandão de Carvalho Joaquim
Published: September 2017

This article aims to explain the optional gemination in the elided form of the French 3rdp. object pronounsleandla, i.e. before vowel, as in [ʒəllɛvy] forje l’ai vu(e)‘I saw him/her/it’. This geminate, which cannot be accounted for in purely phonological terms, is shown to follow from a boundary shift within the morphological sequence /il+lə/la+V/, providing the 3rdp. object pronouns with a new geminate allomorph before vowel; thereby, /ll/ can spread to the entire paradigm. It is argued (a) that the resulting allomorphy is the strategy found by speakers to eliminate the irregular allomorphy of the 3rdp. subject pronounilbefore consonant; (b) that a perception grammar is needed to capture the reasons for the new allomorphy.

Published: September 2017

The solubilization and solvatochromic behavior of piroxicam (PRX) were analyzed using UV-vis spectroscopy in neat (protic and aprotic) and binary solvent mixtures. The effects of solvent dipolarity/polarizability and solvent–solute hydrogen bonding interactions on the absorption maxima were evaluated by means of the linear solvation energy relationship concept of Kamlet and Taft. This analysis indicated that both interactions play an important role in the position of the absorption maxima in neat solvents. While, the PRX solubility depends on the solute–solvent specific interactions, polarizability and the cohesive forces of the solvent, manifested mainly by means of the Hildebrand’s solubility parameter. Preferential solvation (PS) was studied in 10 binary mixtures. A non-ideal behavior of the wavenumber curve as the function of analytical mole fraction of co-solvent was detected. Index of preferential solvation, as well as the influence of solvent parameters were calculated. The process of dissolution was analyzed in aqueous binary mixtures of ethanol, ethylene glycol and propylene glycol. They were not spontaneous in all proportions, but when water concentration decreases in the mixtures, the process becomes more spontaneous.

Published: September 2017

Mesencephalic astrocyte-derived neurotrophic factor (MANF) is an endoplasmic reticulum (ER) resident protein with neuroprotective effects. Previous studies have shown that MANF expression is altered in the developing rodent cortex in a spatiotemporal manner. However, the role of MANF in mammalian neurogenesis is not known. The aim of this study was to determine the role of MANF in neural stem cell (NSC) proliferation, differentiation, and cerebral cortex development. We found that MANF is highly expressed in neural lineage cells, including NSCs in the developing brain. We discovered that MANF-deficient NSCs in culture are viable and show no defect in proliferation. However, MANF-deficient cells have deficits in neurite extension upon neuronal differentiation.In vivo, MANF removal leads to slower neuronal migration and impaired neurite outgrowth.In vitro, mechanistic studies indicate that impaired neurite growth is preceded by reducedde novoprotein synthesis and constitutively activated unfolded protein response (UPR) pathways. This study is the first to demonstrate that MANF is a novel and critical regulator of neurite growth and neuronal migration in mammalian cortical development.

LA CONTABILIDAD SOCIAL-ORIGEN Y PARADIGMAS
Authors: Díaz Inchicaqui Miguel Nicolás
Published: September 2017

El presente artículo tiene por objetivo hacer conocer al Contador Público los orígenes evolutivos de la Contabilidad Social, presentando para ello las teorías que la sustentan, como la: Neoclásica o Marginalista, las Institucionales y las teorías Criticas, de las cuales se desprende un factor cualitativo de importancia denominada la "responsabilidad social de la empresa" aspecto que debe ser tomada en cuenta por la empresa moderna para hacer frente a los problemas sociales que se originan por su actuación en un sector económico determinado; es decir, las empresas modernas deben considerar en la información contable que expongan los efectos sociales y medioambientales de su actividad económica, conllevando con ello que el Contador Público conozca, entienda y dé la debida importancia a la Contabilidad Social. Por último al presentar un análisis de los paradigmas de la Contabilidad Social esperamos motivar a los investigadores para abordar soluciones razonables sobre esta rama de las Ciencias Contables.

Published: September 2017

En el campo de los intangibles y de la contabilidad del conocimiento, como temas de profunda investigación, se están presentando interesantes artículos que merecen el estudio y análisis de los Contadores Públicos en el Perú, principalmente de nuestros docentes y alumnos de pregrado y postgrado de la Facultad de Ciencias Contables de la UNMSM. Transcribimos literalmente este artículo, publicado por los Profesores CP Roberto Vásquez y CP Claudia de Salgado, de la Facultad de Ciencias Económicas, Universidad de Buenos Aires-Argentina, que resume el trabajo presentado en las XXII Jornadas Universitarias de Contabilidad de la Universidad Nacional del Litoral-Santa Fe, Argentina, realizadas del 24 al 26 de octubre de 2001. Esperamos contar con la benevolencia de los autores por la decisión que hemos tomado, publicación de su artículo, ya que éste contribuirá a la formación de los Contadores Públicos del Perú, además de ofrecer un mayor campo de información contable que se prepara para una empresa, saliendo de los clásicos canales de la ciencia contable tradicional, que no nos permite romper esquemas rígidos profesionales.

LA MODERNIZACIÓN DE LA SEGURIDAD SOCIAL EN SALUD Y LAS ENTIDADES PRESTADORAS DE SALUD (EPS)
Authors: Montes Farro Eduardo Alberto , Bortesi Longhi Luis , Avelino Sánchez Esteban Marino , Rodríguez Cairo Vladimir
Published: September 2017

La seguridad social en salud es de interés común; el bienestar propio y el ajeno contribuyen interactivamente al bienestar de todos. Es tan importante, que está en juego, incluso, la supervivencia de la especie humana. Es necesario que todos contribuyamos para que la salud prevalezca y posibilite en la vida personal y social el desarrollo y el bien vivir. Las acciones que se hagan con este fin deben organizarse lo más eficientemente posible. El esfuerzo que hagamos todos facilitará la consecución del bienestar común. Los estados buscan establecer los mejores mecanismos y acciones que normen conductas y procedimientos efectivos. Sin embargo, en la práctica no se logra. El 17 de mayo de 1997 se promulgó la Ley N. º 26790, denominada Ley de Modernización de la Seguridad Social en Salud; y su Reglamento, el 9 de septiembre de 1997, mediante Decreto Supremo N.º 009-97-SA. La novedad de estos dispositivos legales consiste en un intento de privatizar, en parte inicialmente, el servicio de atención mediante: Entidades Prestadoras de Salud­ EPS. Para supervisar las EPS, se crea la Superintendencia de Entidades Prestadoras de Salud-(SEPS); que el 3 de agosto de 1999 aprueba el Plan de Cuentas con el objeto de vigilar la solidez económica y patrimonial de las EPS y de recabar información oportuna y sistemática. Es el preciso comprender la diferencia del Sistema de Seguridad Social y Régimen de Seguro Social; en este último caso no se contempla la cobertura general, como lo menciona la Constitución del Estado en el artículo 10º: el derecho universal de toda persona a la seguridad social.
