Universidad y sociedad. La psicología aprendida mediante colaboraciones
La obra presenta un modelo de formación profesional en psicología que vincula el entorno y la gestión del conocimiento. Este modelo, enriquecido por la compleja cotidianidad de las personas, constituye un tejido de múltiples problemáticas y escenarios prácticos en los que se ponen en juego las distintas perspectivas teóricas y metodologías de la psicología. Esta publicación está dirigida a quienes estudian y se dedican a la formación de la psicología, a la dirección de instituciones públicas, privadas y organizaciones no gubernamentales, que tengan interés en aprender y desarrollar nuevas formas de relacionarse para intervenir, en colaboración, en diferentes espacios sociales y realidades problemáticas. Quienes son parte de luchas sociales, podrán encontrar nuevas formas de organizarse para transformar situaciones particulares de vulnerabilidad. (ITESO) (ITESO Universidad).
From Internationalism to Postcolonialism
Would there have been a Third World without the Second? Perhaps, but it would have looked very different. From Internationalism to Postcolonialism recounts the story of two Cold War-era cultural formations that claimed to represent the Third World project in literature and cinema, and offers a compelling genealogy of contemporary postcolonial studies.
Stamp Duties in Indian States
Evidence indicates that the current high duty rates, coupled with weak tax administration, lead to widespread evasion of the tax through underdeclaration. This underdeclaration of property values directly affects collection of other taxes, among them, property taxes and capital gains tax. Moreover, it indirectly affects the collection of all taxes through the impact of underdeclaration on the circulation of black money. Simulations indicate that revenues lost due to a lowering of stamp duty rates closer to international levels are quite likely to be recovered in higher collections of other taxes. However, these taxes would at least in part be collected by other levels of government. So reform could be made a more viable option through appropriately designed intergovernmental transfers.

The Russian Flat Tax Reform
Russia dramatically reduced its higher rates of personal income tax (PIT) in 2001 establishing a single marginal rate at the low level of 13 percent. In the following year, real revenue from the PIT actually increased by about 26 percent. This 'flat tax' experience has attracted much attention (and emulation) among policymakers, making it perhaps the most important tax reform of recent years. But it has been little studied. This paper asks whether the strong revenue performance of the PIT was itself a consequence of this reform, using both macro evidence and, in particular, micro-level data on the experiences of individuals and households affected by the reform to varying degrees. It concludes that there is no evidence of a strong supply side effect of the reform. Compliance, however, did improve quite substantially-by about one third according to our estimates-though it remains unclear whether this was due to the parametric reforms or to accompanying changes in enforcement.
Customs Modernization Handbook
Trade integration contributes substantially to economic development and poverty alleviation. In recent years much progress was made to liberalize the trade regime, but customs procedures are often still complex, costly and non-transparent. This situation leads to misallocation of resources. 'Customs Modernization Handbook' provides an overview of the key elements of a successful customs modernization strategy and draws lessons from a number of successful customs reforms as well as from customs reform projects that have been undertaken by the World Bank. It describes a number of key import procedures, that have proved particularly troublesome for customs administrations and traders, and provides practical guidelines to enhance their efficiency. The Handbook also reviews the appropriate legal framework for customs operations as well as strategies to combat corruption.
Osteoporosis
There are a number of therapies and treatments available for the prevention of fragility fractures in people thought to be at risk, or to prevent further fractures in those who have already had one or more fragility fractures. However, identifying who will benefit from preventative treatment is imprecise. A number of risk assessment tools are available to predict fracture incidence over a period of time, and these may be used to aid decision making. These tools are limited in that they may not include all risk factors, or may lack details of some risk factors. Tools are dependent on the accuracy of the epidemiological data used to derive them and tools validated in other populations may not apply to the UK. Two tools, FRAX and QFracture, are available for use in the UK. It is not clear whether these tools are equally accurate and whether choice of tool should depend on circumstances. This short clinical guideline aims to provide guidance on the selection and use of risk assessment tools in the care of people who may be at risk of fragility fractures in all settings in which NHS care is received.
Customs Modernization Initiatives
With an increasing awareness, amongst countries and development agencies, of the importance of policies which facilitate and improve the flow of goods and services across borders, this publication sets out 8 country case studies (Bolivia, Ghana, Morocco, Mozambique, Peru, Philippines, Turkey, Uganda), examining improved customs administrative systems. Such improvements can offer great benefits, such as improved market access, lowered tariffs, reduced transportation costs and better communications. Also an effective customs administration system can act as a catalyst for economic development. These case studies highlight both the successes and failures of such customs administrative programmes, and is a companion volume to the Customs Modernization Handbook (ISBN 0821357514).
