En este artículo se determina expresiones para el beneficio tributario de endeudarse y para el rendimiento que exige un accionista, si la empresa y la deuda crecen, en un sistema tributario no integrado como el de los Estados Unidos. Luego se determina expresiones equivalentes para un sistema tributario totalmente integrado. La principal aportación de este artículo es la extensión y generalización de las fórmulas de valoración de empresas y de costo del patrimonio a un sistema tributario distinto del estadunidense, pero que prevalece en muchos otros países del mundo

The first months of the Calderon administration in Mexico have been characterized by the militarization of indigenous regions throughout the country & the continued criminalization of social movements -- the perpetration of state violence & repression in the name of "social peace." The April 26 reforms of the Federal Penal Code designed to "punish terrorism," which impose severe sentences on those who threaten the peace & tranquility of the population "by any violent method," have been denounced as yet another strategy for criminalizing social movements. The Fox administration's "neoliberal multiculturalism" which appropriated & trivialized indigenous people's demands (see Hernandez, Paz, & Sierra, 2005), has been replaced by neoconservative policies & actions that treat organized indigenous peoples as delinquents. The rhetoric of cultural recognition has similarly been exchanged for a developmentalist discourse against poverty. References. [Reprinted by permission of Sage Publications Inc., copyright 2008.]

Entre el etnocentrismo feminista y el esencialismo étnico: las mujeres indígenas y sus demandas de género

Transcontinental Dialogues brings together Indigenous and non-Indigenous anthropologists from Mexico, Canada, and Australia who work at the intersections of Indigenous rights, advocacy, and action research. These engaged anthropologists explore how obligations manifest in differently situated alliances, how they respond to such obligations, and the consequences for anthropological practice and action.
This volume presents a set of pieces that do not take the usual political or geographic paradigms as their starting point; instead, the particular dialogues from the margins presented in this book arise from a rejection of the geographic hierarchization of knowledge in which the Global South continues to be the space for fieldwork while the Global North is the place for its systematization and theorization. Instead, contributors in Transcontinental Dialogues delve into the interactions between anthropologists and the people they work with in Canada, Australia, and Mexico. This framework allows the contributors to explore the often unintended but sometimes devastating impacts of government policies (such as land rights legislation or justice initiatives for women) on Indigenous people's lives.
Each chapter's author reflects critically on their own work as activist-­scholars. They offer examples of the efforts and challenges that anthropologists—Indigenous and non-Indigenous—confront when producing ­knowledge in alliances with Indigenous peoples. Mi'kmaq land rights, pan-Maya social movements, and Aboriginal title claims in rural and urban areas are just some of the cases that provide useful ground for reflection on and critique of challenges and opportunities for scholars, policy-makers, activists, allies, and community members.
This volume is timely and innovative for using the disparate anthropological traditions of three regions to explore how the interactions between anthropologists and Indigenous peoples in supporting Indigenous activism have the potential to transform the production of knowledge within the historical colonial traditions of anthropology.

42 Pags.- 5 Tabls.- 9 Figs. The definitive version is available at: http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/journal/03783774 ; Surface irrigation simulation models have seldom been used in engineering practise, and district modernisation is not an exception. Surface irrigation evaluations were performed in the Almudévar irrigation district to obtain the parameters required for surface irrigation modelling. The total district irrigated area was divided into 92 design units, for which a characteristic blocked-end border was defined. Simulation was used to establish the current irrigation performance in each design unit, and district performance contour maps were built. Irrigation performance was characterised using potential application efficiency, with an average of 54%, and irrigation time, averaging 6 h ha−1. Simulated potential application efficiency of the low quarter was similar to the seasonal irrigation performance index (an estimate of irrigation efficiency) presented in the companion paper. A set of seven modernisation scenarios was defined. Two strategies were identified to improve the potential application efficiency in the scenarios: increase the irrigation discharge into the current blocked-end borders and/or substitute the current system with a solid set sprinkler irrigation system. The performance of each scenario was estimated using irrigation models to determine efficiency, water conservation and irrigation time. The modernisation investment costs were estimated and compared to the performance of each scenario. The best results (potential application efficiency of 77%, reduced water allocation by 14.4 106 m3 year−1) were obtained by a combination of blocked-end irrigation with a discharge of 200 l s−1 and sprinkler irrigation in the areas where surface irrigation efficiency could not attain 50%. The investment cost for this scenario was 3932 Euro ha−1. More expensive scenarios did not guarantee better performance. ; This work was sponsored in part by the INIA (Institute of Agricultural Research of the Government of Spain).
