Víctor Raúl Haya de la Torre, el APRA y el Indoamericanismo : Victor Raúl Haya de la Torre, the «Apra» and Indo–Americanism

El propósito de este trabajo es reflexionar sobre la importancia histórica, vigencia y protagonismo de personalidades como la de Víctor Raúl Haya de la Torre, abarcando las ideologías que pretendieron imponer sus proyectos y discursos políticos occidentales en la región. Para referirse al aprismo y al indoamericanismo, es menester preguntarse sobre la densidad romántica de las motivaciones que tuvieron los revolucionarios del siglo XIX y de los de la década del 30 para ejercer sus derechos ciudadanos en tiempos de colonización, dependencia y emancipación en medio de los rudimentarios influjos de la modernización. Preguntarse por qué en aquellos tiempos la Patria era Vida y Muerte, fuente de identidad primordial; qué estaban pensando los ideólogos norteamericanos en las últimas décadas del siglo XIX acerca de América Latina y luego dirigir nuestra mirada a Perú, su círculo serrano y costeño como espacio de contradicción migratoria e intercultural.

"Semillas en tierras estériles" : La recepción del APRA en la Argentina de mediados de la década de los treinta

Si bien los orígenes de la Alianza Popular Revolucionaria Americana (APRA) están relacionados con las repercusiones continentales del movimiento reformista universitario, en la década de los veinte, la presencia del aprismo en la Argentina tuvo ecos más allá de esos antecedentes. Durante la década de los treinta, militantes interesados en las ideas antiimperialistas procuraron aclimatar el aprismo a la realidad Argentina. A través del análisis de los artículos escritos en la revista Claridad por Alberto Faleroni, principal referente del "aprismo argentino", y de la reconstrucción de la experiencia del Partido Aprista Argentino (PAA), procuramos dar cuenta de las posibilidades y dificultades en torno de los intentos de construir una propuesta inspirada en el APRA. Este análisis nos permite indagar en el recorrido de ciertas ideas vinculadas al antiimperialismo, el nacionalismo y la perspectiva continental, que circulaban en redes políticas e intelectuales cercanas al socialismo

Real-time PCR quantification and diversity analysis of the functional genes aprA and dsrA of sulfate-reducing prokaryotes in marine sediments of the Peru continental margin and the Black Sea

Sulfate-reducing prokaryotes (SRP) are ubiquitous and quantitatively important members in many ecosystems, especially in marine sediments. However their abundance and diversity in subsurface marine sediments is poorly understood. In this study, the abundance and diversity of the functional genes for the enzymes adenosine 5'-phosphosulfate reductase (aprA) and dissimilatory sulfite reductase (dsrA) of SRP in marine sediments of the Peru continental margin and the Black Sea were analyzed, including samples from the deep biosphere (ODP site 1227). For aprA quantification a Q-PCR assay was designed and evaluated. Depth profiles of the aprA and dsrA copy numbers were almost equal for all sites. Gene copy numbers decreased concomitantly with depth from around 10(8)/g sediment close to the sediment surface to less than 10(5)/g sediment at 5 mbsf. The 16S rRNA gene copy numbers of total bacteria were much higher than those of the functional genes at all sediment depths and used to calculate the proportion of SRP to the total Bacteria. The aprA and dsrA copy numbers comprised in average 0.5-1% of the 16S rRNA gene copy numbers of total bacteria in the sediments up to a depth of ca. 40 mbsf. In the zone without detectable sulfate in the pore water from about 40-121 mbsf (Peru margin ODP site 1227), only dsrA (but not aprA) was detected with copy numbers of less than 10(4)/g sediment, comprising ca. 14% of the 16S rRNA gene copy numbers of total bacteria. In this zone, sulfate might be provided for SRP by anaerobic sulfide oxidation. Clone libraries of aprA showed that all isolated sequences originate from SRP showing a close relationship to aprA of characterized species or form a new cluster with only distant relation to aprA of isolated SRP. For dsrA a high diversity was detected, even up to 121 m sediment depth in the deep biosphere.

El APRA, Haya de La Torre y la crisis del liberalismo guatemalteco en 1926-1929

ResumenEn julio de 1928 el líder del APRA visitó Guatemala. Durante poco más de un mes, Haya de la Torre dio conferencias, realizó una gira política por el altiplano occidental y en Quetzaltenango fundó el Comité Ejecutivo Centroamericano del APRA. La filiación política original de los simpatizantes de Haya de la Torre en Guatemala era el liberalismoAbstractWhen he visited Guatemala in July, 1928, the leader of APRA gave public lectures, went on a political tour of the western highlands, and in Quetzaltenango he founded the Central American Executive Committee of APRA. The political background of Haya de la Torre’s supporters in Guatemala was Liberalism.

Preliminary review of over-regulation in Australian financial services

This article examines a preliminary review and the limited evidence of over-regulation in Australian financial services. The 1997 Wallis Report and the CLERP 6 paper resulted in the amendments to Ch 7 of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) by the Financial Services Reform Act. Nearly a decade later the system based upon 'one-size fits all' dual track regime and a consistent licensing regime has greatly increased the costs of compliance. In the area of enforcement there has not been a dramatic change to the effective techniques applied by ASIC over other agencies such as APRA. In particular there are clear economic arguments, as well as international experiences which state that a single financial services regulator is more effective than the multi-layered approach adopted in Australia. Finally, in the superannuation area of financial services, which is worth A$800 billion there is unnecessary dual licensing and duplicated regulation with little evidence of any consumer-member benefit but at a much greater cost

Climate change and financial regulation : challenges for the financial sector post the Global Financial Crisis

Regulation has played a significant role in shaping the financial services sector in Australia over the past few decades. Regulatory changes have included the establishment of the Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA), floating the Australian dollar, allowing foreign financial institutions to operate domestically, the introduction of the superannuation guarantee charge, and the removal of interest rate controls. As the economy emerges from the worst financial crisis since the great depression, a new force of change that is recognised as one of the most significant sources of risk and opportunity facing the business community in the foreseeable future is that of climate change. Climate change is expected to be a significant change agent in the financial services sector as extreme weather patterns, sea level rises, and atmospheric changes impact on asset values (both investment and lending), project finance, and risk products. The financial services industry will be particularly affected by these developments, both as a provider of financial products (capital, credit, investment, advice, and insurance), and also through its powerful influence on the economy in terms of capital allocation. In addition, industry constituents will be heavily impacted by government regulation in this area (reporting, emissions trading and environmental policies), with respect to their own business practices and also those of their clients. This study reports the results of interviews conducted with senior members of the finance sector working in the sustainability area to gauge their perceptions of the challenges facing the sector with respect to climate change. Our results confirm that that regulatory intervention will be critical to climate change response gaining traction and momentum. In particular, regulatory certainty will promote engagement, particularly in relation to the Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme (CPRS), with other developments needed in terms of information disclosure, performance and remuneration, and incentive programs. Accordingly, the significant potential risks and opportunities that climate change presents to the sector, and the broader economy, will in part be managed/realised only if a swift and significant regulatory response is achieved.

Accountability and board functionality: National Australia Bank's experience

The National Australia Bank’s (NAB) experience of corporate governance has been contrary to current standards of good corporate governance, accountability and risk management. Over the last few years NAB’s misadventures have brought it under intensive media scrutiny with the HomeSide losses and the investigation by the Securities and Exchange Commission in the USA for breaches of auditor independence. More recently the unauthorised trading by its foreign exchange dealers violated NABs risk management practices and the subsequent board crisis resulted in significant downgrading of the share price on the Australian Stock Exchange (ASX). This paper briefly reviews the international history of corporate accountability and its growth in Australia. The increasing shareholder and legislative pressure to improve sustainability, accountability and board functionality have driven these issues to the forefront of Governing Boards’ agendas worldwide. The board remains ultimately responsible for all actions of the company and this is highlighted by APRA’s recent release of the new governance standard APG510 for implementation by October 2006. The impact of NAB’s board dysfunction on its overall performance is compared with the other major banks in Australia. Cost efficiency ratios, share price and total shareholder return are used as measures of performance and profitability. It is clear, from NAB’s recent experience, as the worst performer of all the majors, with a 19.7% fall in net profit and a cost to income ratio of 57.4% in 2004, that the NAB board needs to improve its performance and accountability to meet a sustainable increase in profitability and higher return for investors.

Structural and Functional Insights from the Metagenome of an Acidic Hot Spring Microbial Planktonic Community in the Colombian Andes

A taxonomic and annotated functional description of microbial life was deduced from 53 Mb of metagenomic sequence retrieved from a planktonic fraction of the Neotropical high Andean (3,973 meters above sea level) acidic hot spring El Coquito (EC). A classification of unassembled metagenomic reads using different databases showed a high proportion of Gammaproteobacteria and Alphaproteobacteria (in total read affiliation), and through taxonomic affiliation of 16S rRNA gene fragments we observed the presence of Proteobacteria, micro-algae chloroplast and Firmicutes. Reads mapped against the genomes Acidiphilium cryptum JF-5, Legionella pneumophila str. Corby and Acidithiobacillus caldus revealed the presence of transposase-like sequences, potentially involved in horizontal gene transfer. Functional annotation and hierarchical comparison with different datasets obtained by pyrosequencing in different ecosystems showed that the microbial community also contained extensive DNA repair systems, possibly to cope with ultraviolet radiation at such high altitudes. Analysis of genes involved in the nitrogen cycle indicated the presence of dissimilatory nitrate reduction to N2 (narGHI, nirS, norBCDQ and nosZ), associated with Proteobacteria-like sequences. Genes involved in the sulfur cycle (cysDN, cysNC and aprA) indicated adenylsulfate and sulfite production that were affiliated to several bacterial species. In summary, metagenomic sequence data provided insight regarding the structure and possible functions of this hot spring microbial community, describing some groups potentially involved in the nitrogen and sulfur cycling in this environment.

Los exiliados como "traductores" : Las redes del exilio aprista en la Argentina en la década de los treinta

Este trabajo propone reconstruir las redes del exilio aprista en Argentina durante la década de los treinta y analizar de qué manera los exiliados intervinieron en las disputas acerca de qué era el aprismo, con el objetivo de consolidar vínculos con determinados sectores del medio político nacional. Esta aproximación podrá mostrarnos cómo los exiliados buscaron reactivar redes de solidaridad latinoamericanas que provenían de la década anterior. En el marco de ese esfuerzo, oficiaron como "traductores" del movimiento político que impulsaban, frente a otras representaciones sobre el aprismo que circulaban, también, en nuestro país
