Tratamientos contables alternativos aplicables al proceso de producción de las empresas industriales, con base a Normas internacionales de contabilidad.

Lo fundamental de haber desarrollado el Trabajo de Graduación Titulado “TRATAMIENTOS CONTABLES ALTERNATIVOS APLICABLES AL PROCESO DE PRODUCCIÓN DE LAS EMPRESAS INDUSTRIALES, CON BASE A NORMAS INTERNACIONALES DE CONTABILIDAD”, surgió de la necesidad de profundizar por parte del profesional de Contaduría Pública en el estudio de las Normas Internacionales de Contabilidad (NIC´S), dado que son requeridas para el registro de las transacciones efectuadas en las diferentes empresas. Los objetivos del trabajo se orientaron a ejemplificar la aplicación de los tratamientos contables alternativos mencionados por las NIC´S, para el registro de las transacciones y sucesos similares que ocurren por ejemplo, en el proceso de producción de una empresa industrial, lo cual permitirá al profesional de contaduría pública tener una mejor facilidad de comprensión en el estudio de cada alternativa. La metodología adoptada consistió en la utilización del paradigma socio-crítico y positivista, en los cuales el primero analiza las transformaciones sociales y las explica, dando respuestas a problemas generados por éstas, y el segundo permite utilizar la técnica de investigación en forma cuantitativa al tomar a la realidad como sujeto de estudio a partir de datos estadísticos obtenidos de instrumentos de recolección de datos como cuestionarios, entrevista y otros, realizadas a las Empresas Industriales ubicadas en el Boulevar del Ejercito en San Salvador, Antiguo Cuscatlán y Ciudad Merliot. La información recopilada corresponde a profesionales de contaduría pública, administradores que laboran dentro de las empresas seleccionadas, conociendo de tal manera las diferentes respuestas a las interrogantes plasmadas en el cuestionario, demostrándose en un 100% sobre la base de la muestra seleccionada, la necesidad de que exista un documento donde se muestren ejemplos sobre la aplicación de los tratamientos contables alternativos mencionados por las NIC´S, con el fin de facilitar su comprensión.

Never before seen in Brazil: Luis Inácio Lula da Silva's grand diplomacy

Critical assessment of Luis Inácio Lula da Silva's diplomacy, which departed from the previous patterns of the Brazilian Foreign Service, to align itself with the political conceptions of the Workers' Party. This diplomacy has neither consolidated the position of Brazil as a regional leader, nor attained its declared goal of inserting Brazil into the United Nations Security Council, although it has reinforced Brazil's image in the international scenarios; but this was achieved much more through the personal activism of the President himself, than through normal diplomatic work.

Desfolha e posição do fruto em meloeiro cv. Don Luis, cultivado em ambiente protegido

Este trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar o efeito do número de folhas e da posição de fixação do fruto na planta sobre a produção de biomassa e a qualidade de frutos de meloeiro tipo Cantaloupe. O experimento foi constituído de quatro tratamentos, delineamento inteiramente casualizado, com 15 repetições. Os tratamentos foram: 1) 14 folhas/planta, com fruto fixado na posição intermediária da planta; 2) 14 folhas/planta, com fruto fixado no alto da planta; 3) 14 folhas/planta até a fixação do fruto no alto da planta, quando foram retiradas as sete folhas imediatamente abaixo do fruto; e 4) 14 folhas/planta até a fixação do fruto no alto da planta, quando foram retiradas as sete folhas na base da planta. Avaliaram-se: área foliar; área foliar específica; razão de área foliar; dias para colheita; ciclo cultural; diâmetro, comprimento, massa da matéria fresca, espessura do pericarpo, diâmetro da cavidade e teor de sólidos solúveis de fruto; e massa da matéria seca de folhas, caule, pecíolo e fruto. A condução das plantas com maior número de folhas (tratamentos 1 e 2) proporcionou maior área foliar, massa da matéria seca de folhas, massa das matérias fresca e seca de fruto, espessura do pericarpo e sólidos solúveis de fruto, comparado aos tratamentos 3 e 4. Maior área foliar/fruto proporciona frutos com maiores massa, espessura de pericarpo e teor de sólidos solúveis. A fixação do fruto na porção intermediária, comparada à fixação no topo da planta, tem como vantagem o menor ciclo cultural. O meloeiro ajusta a produção de massa dos órgãos à área foliar disponível na planta.

American tripanosomiasis: a study on the prevalence of Trypanosoma cruzi and Trypanosoma cruzi-like organisms in wild rodents in San Luis province, Argentina

INTRODUCTION: Chagas disease is caused by Trypanosoma cruzi. Wild and perianthropic mammals maintain the infection/transmission cycle, both in their natural habitat and in the peridomestic area. The aim of this paper was to present the results from a study on wild rodents in the central and northern regions of San Luis province, Argentina, in order to evaluate the prevalence of this infection. METHODS: Sherman traps were set up in capture areas located between latitudes 32º and 33º S, and longitudes 65º and 66º W. The captured rodents were taxonomically identified and hemoflagellates were isolated. Morphological, biometric and molecular studies and in vitro cultures were performed. Infection of laboratory animals and histological examination of the cardiac muscle and inoculation area were also carried out. Parasites were detected in circulating blood in Calomys musculinus, Graomys griseoflavus, Phyllotis darwini and Akodon molinae. The parasites were identified using biological criteria. Molecular PCR studies were performed on some isolates, which confirmed the characterization of these hemoflagellates as Trypanosoma cruzi. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS: Forty-four percent of the 25 isolates were identified as Trypanosoma cruzi, and the remaining 56% as Trypanosoma cruzi-like. These findings provide evidence that wild rats infected with Trypanosoma cruzi and Trypanosoma cruzi-like organisms are important in areas of low endemicity.

Relationship between rainfall and temperature: observations on the cases of visceral leishmaniasis in São Luis Island, State of Maranhão, Brazil

INTRODUCTION: Visceral leishmaniasis is a serious public health problem that requires global control strategies, especially with respect to factors that may intervene in reducing the incidence of endemicity. In this work, rainfall density and temperature were correlated with the incidence of human cases in an area endemic for leishmaniasis in São Luis do Maranhão, Northeastern Brazil. METHODS: Notification of human cases by the National Health Foundation/Regional Coordination of Maranhão (FUNASA/COREMA) from 2002 to 2010 was used. Ecological data (mean temperature and rainfall density) were provided by the Meteorological Office of State. RESULTS: A significant association was verified between the number of VL cases and rainfall rate but not in the analysis concerning mean temperatures. CONCLUSIONS: These data suggest that the control actions in visceral leishmaniasis should be performed during rainy season in the State of Maranhão, which is in the first half of the year.

High prevalence of HTLV-1 and 2 viruses in pregnant women in São Luis, state of Maranhão, Brazil

INTRODUCTION: Human T cell lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1) is endemic in the Caribbean, Japan, South America and regions of Africa. HTLV-2 is present in Native American populations and associated with IV drug use in Europe and North America. In Brazil, it is estimated that 1.5 million people are infected with HTLV-1/2. The study objective was to determine HTLV-1/2 prevalence in pregnant women in the prenatal care from three public services in São Luis, State of Maranhão, Brazil, and to counsel seropositive women to reduce viral transmission. METHODS: A cross-sectional study was conducted from February to December 2008; women with age of 18 to 45 years, with low risk for sexually transmitted disease (STD) were invited to participate. Blood samples were collected in filter paper, and HTLV-1/2 immunoenzymatic test (ELISA) was performed as a screening test. Women with reactive results were submitted to peripheral venous blood collection for ELISA repetition, followed by Western blot (WB) and real-time PCR to confirm and discriminate the infection between virus types 1 and 2. RESULTS: Of the 2,044 women tested, seven (0.3%) were ELISA reactive and confirmed positive (four were HTLV-1, and three were HTLV-2). All positive women were oriented not to breastfeed their newborns. CONCLUSIONS: This study showed that the virus is present in high prevalence in that population. Further studies covering other segments of the population are necessary to better characterize the presence of HTLV-1/2 in Maranhão and to elicit measures to prevent its spread.

Phenotypic detection of metallo-β-lactamases in Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Acinetobacter baumannii isolated from hospitalized patients in São Luis, State of Maranhão, Brazil

Introduction Acquired metallo-β-lactamases (MβL) are emerging determinants of resistance in Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Acinetobacter baumannii. The objectives of this study were to phenotypically detect MβL in imipenem-resistant P. aeruginosa and A. baumannii, to investigate the association between MβL-positive strains and hospitals, and to compare the resistance profiles of MβL-producing and non-MβL-producing strains. Methods The approximation disk and combined disk assay methods were used in this study. Results A total of 18 (38.3%) P. aeruginosa isolates and 1 (5.6%) A. baumannii isolate tested positive for the presence of MβL. Conclusions These results demonstrate the need for strict surveillance and for the adoption of preventive measures to reduce the spread of infection and potential outbreaks of disease caused by MβL-producing microorganisms.
