<p>Este artículo busca establecer las relaciones entre la teoría, la praxis contable y el uso de las matemáticas, tanto en su fundamentación como en su aplicación para la solución de problemáticas de la contabilidad como ciencia y como ejercicio profesional. Ello conlleva afrontar la indagación de los principales aportes en su recorrido tanto de axiomatización como del desarrollo de aplicaciones mediante la utilización de las herramientas matemáticas y sus carencias en la integración en una teoría general, que está por estructurarse, desde un enfoque sistémico e interdisciplinario y bajo el paradigma de la complejidad. Se utilizó una metodología cualitativa basada en el análisis de contenidos de documentos, y la triangulación de fuentes teóricas de información, para determinar un muestreo teórico representativo de esos desarrollos y se seleccionaron dos esquemas de matematización contable considerados fundamentales en este proceso: el enfoque del modelamiento matemático aplicado a las dinámicas patrimoniales y el desarrollo del modelo de la contabilidad analítica matricial, que recurre al análisis de casos ilustrativos por su gran potencial de soporte metodológico en la consolidación de la estructura científica de la contabilidad y por su alto impacto social en la solución de problemas como la justa distribución de la riqueza y el logro del bienestar social, desde una perspectiva de responsabilidad social, sustentada en valores humanos, que deben orientar las decisiones económicas y no a la inversa, como ha venido ocurriendo en la actual fase de financiarización de la economía, con las consecuencias de un resquebrajamiento social profundo, en el cual todas las ciencias enfrentan un reto insoslayable de aportar a su solución desde lo más profundamente humano y en el que la contabilidad como ciencia social, se proyecta como una de las grandes aportantes en el concierto científico universal, siguiendo un programa de investigación centrado en la matematización contable desde lo socioeconómico y desde el bien común. </p>

Authors: Salamanca Laura 
Published: January 2017

<p>El presente trabajo pretende el diseño de una metodología, cuyo objetivo principal es construir un modelo de convivencia urbana, a partir de generar un cambio cultural desde el hábitat de la población vulnerable de los proyectos de vivienda bajo el régimen de propiedad horizontal. Esta metodología puede ayudar en la construcción bajo el principio de corresponsabilidad, de conjuntos sostenibles a corto, mediano y largo plazo, en lo social, lo ambiental, lo económico y lo administrativo. Teniendo en cuenta la necesidad de verificar la hipótesis planteada, se decidió utilizar como herramienta estadística y cuantitativa el diagnóstico socioeconómico de 868 familias pertenecientes a dos conjuntos residenciales construidos para población vulnerable: uno para 100 familias en Lima (Perú), denominado Conjunto Residencial Los Ceibos; y otro para 768 familias, ubicado en el municipio de Soacha en Colombia. Los resultados de la aplicación de la metodología fueron exitosos como se demuestra en el presente artículo.</p>
Localización empresarial y globalización: elementos para una gestión moderna del territorio
Authors: Gilles Enrique , Baquero-Ruiz Andrés Francisco 
Published: January 2017

<p>La globalización es un fenómeno que afecta a diferentes dimensiones de la sociedad. En un mundo caracterizado por el incremento de la exposición a la competencia, la ubicación de las actividades productivas se vuelve un factor importante para el éxito de las empresas. De hecho, en los últimos años hemos presenciado un fuerte proceso de deslocalización industrial. La mayor integración socioeconómica global y la mayor facilidad de las empresas para reubicar sus actividades plantean retos para los gobiernos territoriales, quienes con frecuencia carecen de los conocimientos o capacidades necesarias para entender la complejidad del entorno y definir acciones que permitan transformar las oportunidades en beneficios para los habitantes. Este documento revisa y reflexiona sobre aspectos de geografía económica contemporánea, economía urbana y gestión de cadena de valor, buscando con ello contribuir a la construcción de un nuevo marco conceptual y de capacidades que apoye a los gobiernos territoriales en la formulación de políticas y programas de atracción y retención de empresas.</p>

“Nonspatial” Attentional Deficits Interact with Spatial Position in Neglect
Authors: Li Dongyun , Rorden Christopher , Karnath Hans-Otto 
Published: January 2017

Abstract
A widely debated question concerns whether or not spatial and nonspatial components of visual attention interact in attentional performance. Spatial neglect is a common consequence of brain injury where individuals fail to respond to stimuli presented on their contralesional side. It has been argued that, beyond the spatial bias, these individuals also tend to exhibit nonspatial perceptual deficits. Here we demonstrate that the “nonspatial” deficits affecting the temporal dynamics of attentional deployment are in fact modulated by spatial position. Specifically, we observed that the pathological attentional blink of chronic neglect is enhanced when stimuli are presented on the contralesional side of the trunk while keeping retinal and head-centered coordinates constant. We did not find this pattern in right brain-damaged patients without neglect or in patients who had recovered from neglect. Our work suggests that the nonspatial attentional deficits observed in neglect are heavily modulated by egocentric spatial position. This provides strong evidence against models that suggest independent modules for spatial and nonspatial attentional functions while also providing strong evidence that trunk position plays an important role in neglect.
Patients’ Rights in Cross-border Healthcare (Directive 2011/24/eu) and How It Applies to Turkey as a Negotiating Candidate Country
Authors: Ekmekci Perihan Elif 
Published: January 2017

Abstract
Cross-border healthcare and patient mobility across European Union Member States has been on the agenda of eu Commission for the last decade. Directive 2011/24/eu on the application of patients’ rights in cross-border healthcare went into force in 2013. The Directive mainly addresses the responsibilities of Member States in cross-border healthcare, regulates reimbursement procedure, and coordinates European reference networks and health technology assessment in the eu. The Directive has direct and indirect implications on Turkish health system. In this article, first an overview of Directive 2011/24/eu is addressed with special attention to its relation to patient rights and other eu legislations. Then, Turkish citizens’ position in the scope of eu legislation on patient rights is considered. Finally, the ethical implications of the Directive, conceptualisation of cross-border patient mobility, and Turkey’s particular position among other candidate countries regarding cross-border healthcare is discussed.
Quantifying the Sensitivity of Precipitation to the Long-Term Warming Trend and Interannual–Decadal Variation of Surface Air Temperature over China
Authors: Zhou Chunlüe , Wang Kaicun 
Published: January 2017

Abstract
Precipitation is expected to increase under global warming. However, large discrepancies in precipitation sensitivities to global warming among observations and models have been reported, partly owing to the large natural variability of precipitation, which accounts for over 90% of its total variance in China. Here, the authors first elucidated precipitation sensitivities to the long-term warming trend and interannual–decadal variations of surface air temperature Ta over China based on daily data from approximately 2000 stations from 1961 to 2014. The results show that the number of dry, trace, and light precipitation days has stronger sensitivities to the warming trend than to the Ta interannual–decadal variation, with 14.1%, −35.7%, and −14.6% K−1 versus 2.7%, −7.9%, and −3.1% K−1, respectively. Total precipitation frequency has significant sensitivities to the warming trend (−18.5% K−1) and the Ta interannual–decadal variation (−3.6% K−1) over China. However, very heavy precipitation frequencies exhibit larger sensitivities to the Ta interannual–decadal variation than to the long-term trend over Northwest and Northeast China and the Tibetan Plateau. A warming trend boosts precipitation intensity, especially for light precipitation (9.8% K−1). Total precipitation intensity increases significantly by 13.1% K−1 in response to the warming trend and by 3.3% K−1 in response to the Ta interannual–decadal variation. Very heavy precipitation intensity also shows significant sensitivity to the interannual–decadal variation of Ta (3.7% K−1), particularly in the cold season (8.0% K−1). Combining precipitation frequency and intensity, total precipitation amount has a negligible sensitivity to the warming trend, and the consequent trend in China is limited. Moderate and heavy precipitation amounts are dominated by their frequencies.

Abstract
In the Mediterranean Andes region (MA; 30°–37°S), the main rivers are largely fed by melting snowpack and provide freshwater to around 10 million people on both sides of the Andes Mountains. Water resources in the MA are under pressure because of the extensive development of industrial agriculture and mining activities. This pressure is increasing as the region faces one of its worst recorded droughts. Previous studies have pointed to El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) as the main climatic force impacting the MA. However, the role of decadal and multidecadal climate variability, their spatial patterns, and the recurrence of long-term droughts remains poorly studied. In an attempt to better understand these factors, spatial and temporal patterns of hydroclimatic variability are analyzed using an extensive database of streamflow, precipitation, and snowpack covering the period between 1910 and 2011. These analyses are based on the combination of correlation, principal components, and kernel estimation techniques. Despite a general common pattern across the MA, the results presented here identify two hydroclimatic subregions, located north and south of 34°S. While the interannual variability associated with ENSO is slightly stronger north of 34°S, the variability associated with the Pacific decadal oscillation (PDO) and/or the interdecadal Pacific oscillation (IPO) index shows similar patterns in both regions. However, variations produced by the IPO forcing seem to be greater in the southern subregion since 1975. The estimations presented here on drought recurrence reveal a generalized increase in dry extremes since the 1950s. These findings suggest that the northern MA is more vulnerable to changes in hydrology and climate than the southern MA.
Assessing the Skill of Updated Precipitation-Type Diagnostics for the Rapid Refresh with mPING
Authors: Burg Tomer , Elmore Kimberly L. , Grams Heather M. 
Published: January 2017

Abstract
Previous work has shown that the Rapid Refresh (RAP) model severely underrepresents ice pellets in its grid, with a skill near zero and a very low bias. An ice pellet diagnostic upgrade was devised at the Earth System Research Laboratory (ESRL) to resolve this issue. Parallel runs of the experimental ESRL-RAP with the fix and the operational NCEP-RAP without the fix provide an opportunity to assess whether this upgrade has improved the overall performance and the performance of the individual precipitation types of the ESRL-RAP. Verification was conducted using the mobile Phenomena Identification Near the Ground (mPING) project. The overall Gerrity skill score (GSS) for the ESRL-RAP was improved relative to the NCEP-RAP at a 3-h lead time but degraded with increasing lead time; the difference is significant at p &lt; 0.05. Whether this difference is practically significant for users is unknown. Some improvement was found in the bias and skill scores of ice pellets and snow in the ESRL-RAP, although the model continues to underrepresent ice pellets, while rain and freezing rain were generally the same or slightly worse with the fix. The ESRL-RAP was also found to depict a more realistic spatial distribution of precipitation types in transition zones involving ice pellets and freezing rain.
Program Trends for the Mentally Retarded

Published: January 2017

EDITOR'S NOTE: Last fall, national organizations having a major interest in children and youth were requested to submit reports to the 1960 White House Conference on trends affecting children during the last 10 years. In preparation for its report, the CEC asked special educators in the various areas of exceptionality to outline some of the most significant developments they had observed since 1950. Limited space prevents our reporting on all of the trends that were submitted. However, we thought you would be interested in seeing the following two reports received from New York City and the State of Ohio on changing factors affecting school programs for the menially retarded.

Authors: Goldberg Shoshana , Strutz Kelly L. , Herring Amy A. , Halpern Carolyn T. 
Published: January 2017

Objective. We examined associations between two definitions of sexual minority status (SMS) and substance abuse and/or dependence among young adults in a national population. Methods. A total of 14,152 respondents (7,529 women and 6,623 men) interviewed during wave four of the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health were included in the study (age range: 24–32 years). We used two definitions of SMS based on self-reported attraction, behavior, and identity: 1-indicator SMS (endorsing any dimension) and 3-indicator SMS (endorsing all dimensions). Outcomes included nicotine dependence as well as ≥3 signs of substance dependence, any sign of substance abuse, and lifetime diagnosis of abuse or dependence for alcohol, marijuana, and a composite measure of other drugs. Weighted logistic regression models were fit to estimate the odds of each outcome for each of the sexual minority groups (compared with the heterosexual majority), controlling for sociodemographic covariates. Results. SMS women were more likely than exclusively heterosexual women to experience substance abuse and dependence, regardless of substance or SMS definition. In adjusted models for women, 3-indicator SMS was most strongly associated with abuse/dependence (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] range: 2.74–5.17) except for ≥3 signs of cannabis dependence, where 1-indicator SMS had the strongest association (AOR=3.35). For men, the 1-indicator SMS group had higher odds of nicotine dependence (AOR=1.35) and the 3-indicator SMS group had higher odds of ≥3 signs of alcohol dependence (AOR=1.64). Conclusions. Young adult female sexual minority groups, regardless of how defined, are at a higher risk than their heterosexual peers of developing alcohol, drug, or tobacco abuse and dependence.

Published: January 2017

Objectives. Homeless young adults are exposed to multiple risk factors for HIV infection. We identified HIV risk behaviors and their correlates among homeless young adults in Portland, Oregon. Methods. We conducted a community-based, cross-sectional survey of HIV risk behaviors among homeless young adults aged 18–25 years in 2010. Participants completed three study components: (1) an interviewer-administered survey of HIV risk behaviors; (2) a brief, client-centered HIV risk-based counseling session; and (3) rapid HIV testing. Results. Among 208 participants, 45.8% identified as racial/ethnic minority groups, 63.8% were male, and 35.7% self-identified as nonheterosexual. Six participants, all from sexual minority groups, had positive HIV screening results (two newly identified, four previously known) for a seropositivity rate of 2.9%. Female sex, belonging to a sexual minority group, frequent traveling between cities, depression, and alcohol use to intoxication were significantly associated with unprotected sex in univariate analysis. Female sex and high perceived risk of HIV were significantly associated with unprotected sex in multivariate analysis. Conclusions. Our findings support the need for enhanced HIV prevention interventions for homeless young adults.

Objectives. Consistent findings show that black Americans have high rates of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and related behavioral risk factors. Despite this body of work, studies on black Americans are generally limited to the 50 U.S. states. We examined variation in CVD and related risk factors among black Americans by comparing those residing within the U.S. Virgin Islands (USVI) with those residing in the 50 U.S. states and Washington, D.C. (US 50/DC) and residing in different regions of the US 50/DC (Northeast, Midwest, South, and West). Methods. Using data from the 2007 and 2009 Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System, we compared CVD and CVD risk factor prevalence in non-Hispanic black people (≥20 years of age) in the USVI and US 50/DC, examining the relative contributions of health behaviors, health insurance, and socioeconomic status (SES). Results. Accounting for age, sex, education, health insurance, and health behaviors, US 50/DC black Americans were significantly more likely than USVI black people to report ever having a stroke and coronary heart disease, and to be hypertensive, diabetic, or obese While there was heterogeneity by region, similar patterns emerged when comparing the USVI with different regions of the US 50/DC. Conclusion. USVI black people have lower CVD and risk factor prevalence than US 50/DC black people. These lower rates are not explained by differences in health behaviors or SES. Understanding health in this population may provide important information on the etiology of racial/ethnic variation in health in the U.S. and elsewhere, and highlight relevant public health policies to reduce racial/ethnic group disparities.
Reinforced Ice and Ice Domes: Opportunities for the North*
Authors: Glockner P.G. 
Published: January 2017

It is suggested that reinforced ice domes in spans up to 100–150 metres and constructed by spraying water onto a spherical inflatable membrane could be economic solutions for constructing temporary enclosures in cold regions. The feasibility and practicability of such a novel and economical erection/construction technique has been demonstrated at The University of Calgary by constructing small-scale model ice domes and testing them until failure. Details of this erection technique, properties of the reinforcement (spun fibreglass yarn) and the load-deflection-time behaviour of the model domes are described. The first part of the paper gives some results on the short-duration load and creep response of unreinforced and reinforced ice samples, including shear. pull-out/bond and tensile strength. The results indicate that such fibreglass yarn reinforcement does not enhance the shear strength of ice but does inhibit initiation and propagation of cracking and thereby increase the ultimate tensile strength of the composite.
Design and Development of a Self Deployable Structural Element
Authors: Neogi Depankar , Douglas Craig D. 
Published: January 2017

Over the past two decades there has been considerable need for reliable lightweight structures for various space applications, ranging from communication antennae to that of building the first space station. The impetus for research in the field of deployable space structures has been due to the volume constraint imposed by current launch vehicles. This paper describes the design and development of an advanced composite self deployable structural element (SDSE). In its predeployed state, the SDSE is a collapsed structural element designed to achieve minimum volume configuration. This makes it beneficial for space applications as it can be folded and compactly stowed in a space transport vehicle. Ideally, this structure will deploy at the site without human intervention. The SDSE is flexible in its unheated state. It is formed of a core of thermally activated expanding foam or pressurizing agent, an internal bladder, a load carrying member of braided advanced composite material, and an outer retaining jacket. The core material, upon hearing with a resistance wire, internally pressurizes the structural element which leads to deployment. The same heat source also cures the advanced composite material.
