Legal evolution in the financial realm
This article advocates for a fundamental shift in England’s legal approach to professional negligence, particularly within the domains of accounting and audit. English law should move away from its intricate and unclear case law surrounding professional negligence towards a clearly defined test for professional misconduct. Drawing upon a comparative analysis with the legal framework in the United States, where auditors are not shielded from liabi…
Dark Matters
In Dark Matters, Mara Van Der Lugt attempts to rehabilitate pessimism as a moral stance. Critical to this task is the distinction between what she calls “future-oriented” and “value-oriented” pessimism (10). The former is what most people presently understand the word pessimism to mean: a gloomy view about the future, an attitude of premature defeat.Although this kind of fatalism can be found alongside value-oriented pessimism, Van Der Lugt is ch…
Measuring the Statistical Capacity of Nations
The international development community has used the World Bank's Statistical Capacity Index since its inception in 2004. The Sustainable Development Goals create new challenges for national statistical systems to produce high‐quality and internationally comparable data. This paper reviews measurement methodologies, posits desired attributes, and presents theoretical and empirical frameworks to propose a new, improved index to monitor progress in…

Multidimensional Poverty Measurement and Analysis
Multidimensional poverty measurement and analysis is evolving rapidly. Quite recently, a particular counting approach to multidimensional poverty measurement, developed by Sabina Alkire and James Foster, has created considerable interest. The publication of the Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI) estimates in Human Development Reports of United Nations Development Programme since 2010, and national poverty measures released in Mexico, Colombia, …

Counting and multidimensional poverty measurement
Este artículo analiza si en el corto plazo existe una relación bidireccional entre las estructuras monoparentales y la calidad de vida de los residentes de las localidades de Bogotá. Para ello se identificaron indicadores para diversas libertades instrumentales y para la pobreza multidimensional. Además, se pone a discusión académica, la metodología propuesta por Ragin para evidenciar relaciones, como un método para solventar las restricciones de…

Snow-mass intercomparisons in the boreal forests from general circulation models and remotely sensed data sets
In much of the boreal forests, snow covers the ground for half of the year. Since these boreal forests comprise approximately 15% of the land normally covered by snow during the winter and upwards of 40% of the land surface normally snow-covered during the spring and autumn, reliable measures of snow cover and snow mass are required for improved energy-balance and water-balance estimates. In this study, results from snow-depth climatological data…
Cervical cancer and health care resources in Newark, New Jersey, 1970 to 1988
OBJECTIVES. In the past, the predominantly Black population of Newark, NJ, had little access to programs promoting or providing Pap tests. The ratio of in situ to invasive cases of cervical carcinoma was markedly reduced in all age categories, indicating inadequate screening for this cancer in this population. Funding became available to provide and publicize Pap smears but ceased after 5.5 years. We examined the effect of these changes in fundin…

On Economic Inequality
This book, which was first published in 1973, presents a systematic treatment of the conceptual framework as well as the practical problems of the measurement of economic inequality. Alternative approaches are evaluated in terms of their philosophical assumptions, economic content, and statistical requirements. In a new annexe added in 1997, which is as large as the original book, Amartya Sen, jointly with James Foster, critically surveys the lit…
