U.S. International Corporate Taxation: Basic Concepts and Policy Issues
Recent deficit reduction and tax reform plans have included broad proposals to reform the U.S. international corporate tax system. These proposals have raised concerns over how changing the way American multi-national corporations are taxed could impact the deficit and debt, domestic job markets, competitiveness, and the use of corporate tax havens, among other things. An informed debate about how to reform the system governing the taxation of U.S. multi-national corporations requires careful consideration of these issues, as well as a basic understanding of several features of the current system.
This report provides a general introduction to the basic concepts and issues relevant to the U.S. international corporate tax system. The explanations provided in this report emphasize the underlying concepts of the international tax system and are intended to be as simplified as possible. There are of course important and complex technical details that would need to be considered carefully if reform of the current system were to be implemented effectively and efficiently. These important technical details, however, are beyond the scope of this report. Where appropriate, references to other CRS products are provided within the report. A list of related CRS products and other suggested readings on international corporate taxation may also be found at the end of the report
Análise crítica do programa da reforma educativa para o ensino do português LS na 7ª classe em Angola
Dissertação para a obtenção de grau de Mestre em Ensino de Português
Como Língua Segunda/ Língua EstrangeiraA situação actual da língua portuguesa em Angola desperta interesse de estudo
em várias áreas. A questão do seu ensino, enquanto língua segunda, é a vertente que se
destaca neste Trabalho.
Recentemente o Governo angolano promulgou a 2ª Reforma Educativa com o
objectivo de melhorar o sistema de ensino – aprendizagem. A língua portuguesa está em
destaque. Não só por assumir o papel de língua oficial e de escolaridade, mas também
por ser o veículo de comunicação internacional e de confluência com as línguas locais
maioritariamente Bantu.
É neste contexto que se procura dar a melhor resposta à necessidade de formação
de usuários proficientes de PLS, e isto requer a elaboração e aplicação de metodologias
que respondam ao desafio.
Nesta perspectiva, propusemo-nos realizar o estudo com o título: Análise
Crítica do Programa da Reforma Educativa para o Ensino do Português LS na 7ª
Classe em Angola, com os objectivos essenciais de analisar as propostas metodológicas
e sugerir melhorias.
Para tal, servimo-nos do método empírico consubstanciado na consulta da
bibliografia especializada e na de documentos reitores da Reforma.
O Trabalho organiza-se em cinco capítulos, conclusão, sugestões, bibliografia e
anexos.
Da análise feita concluímos que a 2ª Reforma Educativa de Angola é um
projecto ambicioso, com resultados aceitáveis, mas ainda distantes do ideal
preconizado. Urge que se melhorem as condições de trabalho, de investigação, de
ensino e infra-estruturais.
Para a língua portuguesa em especial, a aposta na (re)qualificação dos quadros e
a implementação de mais e melhores condições é fulcral. Do Programa vê-se uma
estrutura diversificada que, se bem aplicada, facilita a aquisição de conhecimentos
científicos e heurísticos. Porém as metodologias e as estratégias tendem mais para a
mecanização do processo de ensino – aprendizagem. Aqui o papel do professor é
fundamental, não só no respeito e cumprimento do legislado, mas sobretudo com uma
perspectiva crítica construtiva
The influence of different pathogens on the lysozyme activity into tissues of rat oral cavity
Aim: To determine action of the different pathogens on the lysozyme activity into tissues of oral cavity and serum.Methods: The lysozyme activities was determined into oral mucosa cheek, tongue gum and serum of 158 white rats (11 series experiments). The pathogens were used: atropine, protamine sulfat, indometacyn, bee poison, hydrasine sulfat, cytostatic cyclofosfan, lincomycin, lipopolysaccharide, composition of antibiotic and omeprasol for ACBTResults: The whole of pathogens decreased lysozyme activity (mean in 1,6-2,5 times) into oral tissues and on 16 % into serum. The specific lowering of lysozyme activities (Δ%/mg pathogen) was low most for lipopolysaccharide, especially after oral application usage (exceeding was in tens times).Conclusion: The lysozyme activity lowering may play significant role in pathogenesis of stomatologic diseases/ Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) send lysozyme activity lowering most especially after oral application. Probably, the antilysozyme action of pathogens realize by LPS. The stomatogenic factor in pathogenesis and profilactic of noninfection diseases is important

Prototype ATLAS IBL Modules using the FE-I4A Front-End Readout Chip
The ATLAS Collaboration will upgrade its semiconductor pixel tracking
detector with a new Insertable B-layer (IBL) between the existing pixel
detector and the vacuum pipe of the Large Hadron Collider. The extreme
operating conditions at this location have necessitated the development of new
radiation hard pixel sensor technologies and a new front-end readout chip,
called the FE-I4. Planar pixel sensors and 3D pixel sensors have been
investigated to equip this new pixel layer, and prototype modules using the
FE-I4A have been fabricated and characterized using 120 GeV pions at the CERN
SPS and 4 GeV positrons at DESY, before and after module irradiation. Beam test
results are presented, including charge collection efficiency, tracking
efficiency and charge sharing.Comment: 45 pages, 30 figures, submitted to JINS

Single hadron response measurement and calorimeter jet energy scale uncertainty with the ATLAS detector at the LHC
The uncertainty on the calorimeter energy response to jets of particles is
derived for the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). First, the
calorimeter response to single isolated charged hadrons is measured and
compared to the Monte Carlo simulation using proton-proton collisions at
centre-of-mass energies of sqrt(s) = 900 GeV and 7 TeV collected during 2009
and 2010. Then, using the decay of K_s and Lambda particles, the calorimeter
response to specific types of particles (positively and negatively charged
pions, protons, and anti-protons) is measured and compared to the Monte Carlo
predictions. Finally, the jet energy scale uncertainty is determined by
propagating the response uncertainty for single charged and neutral particles
to jets. The response uncertainty is 2-5% for central isolated hadrons and 1-3%
for the final calorimeter jet energy scale.Comment: 24 pages plus author list (36 pages total), 23 figures, 1 table,

Етнокультура в контексті періодизації метаетнічного культурно-історичного процесу
