The map set details the route and surrounding environs of the Arnold Arboretum's "Western China" expedition led by Joseph Rock, 1924-1927. The set covers a portion of the Yellow River (Huang He) region in south central China (Qinghai, Gansu, and Sichuan shengs (a portion of historic Tibet)). It shows features, labeled variously in English, Chinese, Wade-Giles transliteration, and Tibetan, including: rivers, streams, lakes, mountains, gorges, valleys, plateaus, plains, cities, towns, villages, provincial capitals, county seats, passes, monasteries, ruin sites, native tribe locations, and more.

"Joseph Rock traced his travels for the [Arnold] Arboretum's [Western China] 1924-1927 expedition in a colorful, hand-drawn map entitled 'Ch'ing-Hai upper Yellow River expedition.' The pen-and-ink drawing was made on ten sheets that when joined form a single, irregularly-shaped map, approximately six by eight feet in size. The individual sheets are numbered, using roman numerals; on sheet VII is a second title, 'Choni Territory, Upper and Lower T'ieh-Pu country and route to Sung-Pan, J. F. Rock, 1925-1927.' Topographical and other features are identified using a combination of English, Chinese characters, Wade-Giles transliterations and Tibetan script. Rock's attractive cursive style and use of hachures, spot heights, and landform drawings to depict relief add character to the map." -- Text from the Arnold Arboretum Web site.

Big city days: Race and labor in early Miami, 1914--1925

The purpose of this study was to recast Miami's social history during the first three decades of the twentieth century through an examination of working class life. The thesis attempts to fill a gap in the literature while also expanding on the advances made in race and class studies of the United States. Through an analysis of local newspapers, minutes of a carpenter's union, and other archival sources, the thesis demonstrates how white workers obtained a virtual monopoly in skilled jobs over black workers, particularly in the construction industry, and exacted economic pressure on business through the threat of work stoppages. Driven by the concern to maintain smooth and steady growth amidst a vibrant tourist economy, business reluctantly worked with labor to maintain harmonious market conditions. Blacks, however, were able to gain certain privileges in the labor market through challenging the rigid system of segregation and notions of what constituted skilled labor. The findings demonstrate that Miami's labor unions shaped the city's social, cultural, and political landscape but the extent of their power was limited by booster discourse and the city's dependence on tourism. ^

Propuesta de procedimientos para realizar Auditoria Fiscal apoyados en Normas ISO 9001:2000; como una herramienta de aseguramiento de la calidad.

El presente trabajo tiene como objetivo el de proveer un documento que facilite el apoyo de sistemas de gestión de la calidad, basados en normas ISO 9001, versión 2000, en las firmas de auditoría autorizadas como persona jurídica, ubicados en el área metropolitana de San Salvador. Para tal efecto se ha dividido en cuatro capítulos. En el capítulo I se presentan todos los antecedentes históricos y generalidades relacionados con los sistemas de gestión de la calidad. La primera parte de este capítulo hace referencia a la historia de la norma, los principios en los cuales basa su funcionamiento y su estructura, que muestra la relación con otras normas y como los cambios de esta han venido contribuyendo a simplificar su aplicabilidad. Otros aspectos tratados son las regulaciones legales y técnicas que norman la realización de una auditoría fiscal, así como una breve descripción de las responsabilidades de los Contadores Públicos en relación a las disposiciones establecidas en la legislación tributaria y además se introduce un apartado para tratar el perfil que el profesional contable debe desarrollar para poder aplicar eficaz y eficientemente las normas en los servicios que este ofrece. Capitulo II: este comprende la metodología utilizada y el diagnóstico de la situación actual de las firmas de auditoría en términos de gestión de la calidad; los cuales fueron estudiados a través de encuesta suministrada de forma aleatoria bajo un método estadístico, de la cual se obtuvieron datos respecto al conocimiento y aplicación de sistemas de calidad. El diseño metodológico comprende dos etapas fundamentales, la bibliográfica y la de campo; la bibliográfica comprendió la recopilación de todo el material escrito referente a las normas ISO 9001 y la de campo en suministrar una encuesta y el uso de otras técnicas como la observación y la entrevista. Para el desarrollo de la investigación se optó por el estudio descriptivo y correlacional, para lo cual se delimitó el alcance de la investigación, definiendo el universo y muestra respectivos. La aplicación de dicha metodología arrojo como producto un diagnóstico. Los resultados de este se dividieron en diez apartados, para una mejor comprensión y análisis. El primero referente a las generalidades de las firmas como: el tamaño, líneas de servicio, tiempo de funcionamiento, número de empleados, etc., en los apartados siguientes se realiza un análisis más específico en cuanto a los aspectos relacionados con la calidad y como las firmas de auditoría deben enfocar sus esfuerzos en buscar la satisfacción de sus clientes mejorando la calidad de los servicios que ofrecen. En el Capítulo III: Se desarrollan los lineamientos básicos y herramientas necesarias para el apoyo de sistemas de gestión de la calidad basados en normas ISO 9001 en el desarrollo de las auditorias fiscales realizadas por las firmas de auditoría de manera fácil y sin costo, el documento constituye una herramienta para que las firmas mejoren sus procesos y eficiencia en la prestación de servicios, garantizando así la satisfacción del cliente y la mejora continua. Capitulo IV, en este se plasmaron las conclusiones y recomendaciones, inferidas básicamente de los resultados obtenidos del estudio realizado a las firmas de auditoría, por medio del cual se diagnosticó la situación actual. En este capítulo se evidencian las principales dificultades que las firmas de auditoría afrontan para poder desarrollar trabajos de calidad y las razones que deben motivarlos a mejorar estos servicios; además existe un apartado de recomendaciones que podrían contribuir no solo a mejorar los servicios, sino también a enriquecer la profesión de la contaduría Pública.

Analysis of mortality during the winter seasons in Mexico from 2000 to 2012

To analyze mortality from all causes in Mexico during the winter months. Methods: Data was extracted and tabulated on monthly all-cause mortality in the general population from 2000 to 2012 from the INEGI database. Coeficients of seasonal variation in mortality were calculated. Results: In Mexico there was an increase of 14 % in mortality in the general population during winter. The more susceptible age groups were older people and children, with increases of 18% and 13% respectively. The months with low levels of mortality were April, October and September for children, adolescents and older people respectively. Conclusions: Important increases in winter mortality occur in Mexico.

Temperature enhanced effects of ozone on cardiovascular mortality in 95 large US communities, 1987-2000 - assessment using the NMMAPS data

A few studies examined interactive effects between air pollution and temperature on health outcomes. This study is to examine if temperature modified effects of ozone and cardiovascular mortality in 95 large US cities. A nonparametric and a parametric regression models were separately used to explore interactive effects of temperature and ozone on cardiovascular mortality during May and October, 1987-2000. A Bayesian meta-analysis was used to pool estimates. Both models illustrate that temperature enhanced the ozone effects on mortality in the northern region, but obviously in the southern region. A 10-ppb increment in ozone was associated with 0.41 % (95% posterior interval (PI): -0.19 %, 0.93 %), 0.27 % (95% PI: -0.44 %, 0.87 %) and 1.68 % (95% PI: 0.07 %, 3.26 %) increases in daily cardiovascular mortality corresponding to low, moderate and high levels of temperature, respectively. We concluded that temperature modified effects of ozone, particularly in the northern region.
