Costos ABC y presupuestos


Book Description

El Costeo Basado en Actividades (ABC, sigla de Activity-Based Costing) busca asignar a los productos y servicios los costos de los recursos y las actividades involucradas en su fabricación. Esta metodología de costeo asigna mayores costos indirectos a los costos directos de un producto o servicio, su aplicación y análisis en el tiempo permite a gerentes tomar decisiones sobre precios y procesos que lleven, en últimas, al incremento de la rentabilidad empresarial. La segunda edición de Costos y Presupuestos ABC enseña a los lectores a desarrollar habilidades en la planeación, aplicación y control de herramientas de costeo ABC con el apoyo de las tecnologías de información. El libro enseña a diseñar y aplicar sistemas de costeo, financiación y presupuesto de procesos productivos; programar y asignar costos a procesos; realizar esquemas de costos y utilidades; producir informes de producción; y a controlar y analizar líneas de producción con gastos compartidos. La obra incluye ejercicios prácticos creados con Microsoft Excel y los resultados siguen las recomendaciones de las NIIF (Normas Internacionales de Información Financiera). Este es un texto útil para estudiantes de pregrado y posgrado de Administración de Empresas, Ingeniería Industrial, Economía, Finanzas y Contabilidad, así como para el autoaprendizaje, y se convierte en texto de referencia para administradores y directores de producción que requieran planear y manejar información de costos. Incluye - La hoja electrónica como herramienta de planeación y control. (Ejemplos con Microsoft Excel). - Administración de costos e inventarios bajo la filosofía Just-in-Time. - Procedimiento para diseñar una aplicación de costos y presupuestos con Microsoft Access. - Ejercicios con Microsoft Excel disponibles en el SIL. Contenidos en el Sistema de Información en Línea (SIL) Al final del libro encontrará el código para ingresar al Sistema de información en Línea – SIL – donde podrá encontrar los archivos en Excel que se utilizan a lo largo del libro, en los cuales, además del ejemplo resuelto, se incluyen ejercicios complementarios de la situación que se está estudiando. ¿Cómo descargar el contenido SIL?

International Code of Conduct on Pesticide Management


Book Description

The understanding that some pesticides are more hazardous than others is well established. Recognition of this is reflected by the World Health Organization (WHO) Recommended Classification of Pesticides by Hazard, which was first published in 1975. The document classifies pesticides in one of five hazard classes according to their acute toxicity. In 2002, the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) was introduced, which in addition to acute toxicity also provides classification of chemicals according to their chronic health hazards and environmental hazards.

Confronting Climate Uncertainty in Water Resources Planning and Project Design


Book Description

Confronting Climate Uncertainty in Water Resources Planning and Project Design describes an approach to facing two fundamental and unavoidable issues brought about by climate change uncertainty in water resources planning and project design. The first is a risk assessment problem. The second relates to risk management. This book provides background on the risks relevant in water systems planning, the different approaches to scenario definition in water system planning, and an introduction to the decision-scaling methodology upon which the decision tree is based. The decision tree is described as a scientifically defensible, repeatable, direct and clear method for demonstrating the robustness of a project to climate change. While applicable to all water resources projects, it allocates effort to projects in a way that is consistent with their potential sensitivity to climate risk. The process was designed to be hierarchical, with different stages or phases of analysis triggered based on the findings of the previous phase. An application example is provided followed by a descriptions of some of the tools available for decision making under uncertainty and methods available for climate risk management. The tool was designed for the World Bank but can be applicable in other scenarios where similar challenges arise.

Phosphorus in Environmental Technology


Book Description

Phosphorus in Environmental Technology: Principles and Applications, provides a definitive and detailed presentation of state-of-the-art knowledge on the environmental behaviour of phosphorus and its applications to the treatment of waters and soils. Special attention is given to phosphorus removal for recovery technologies, a concept that has emerged over the past 5-6 years. The book features an all-encompassing approach: the fundamental science of phosphorus (chemistry, geochemistry, mineralogy, biology), key aspects of its environmental behaviour and mobility, industrial applications (treatment, removal, recovery) and the principles behind such applications, novel biotechnologies and, importantly, it also addresses socio-economic issues which often influence implementation and the ultimate success of any new technology. A detailed subject index helps the reader to find their way through the different scientific and technological aspects covered, making it an invaluable reference work for students, professionals and consultants dealing with phosphorus-related environmental technologies. State-of-the-art knowledge on the behaviour of phosphorus and its applications to environmental science and technology. Covers all aspects of phosphorus in the environment, engineered and biological systems; an interdisciplinary text.




The Forbidden Religion


Book Description

Gnosis means knowledge. But we are not referring to just any knowledge. Gnosis is knowledge which produces a great transformation in those who receive it. Knowledge capable of nothing less than waking up man and helping him to escape from the prison in which he finds himself. That is why Gnosis has been so persecuted throughout the course of history, because it is knowledge considered dangerous for the religious and political authorities who govern mankind from the shadows. Every time this religion, absolutely different from the rest, appears before man, the other religions unite to try to destroy or hide it again. Primordial Gnosis is the original Gnosis, true Gnosis, eternal Gnosis, Gnostic knowledge in its pure form. Due to multiple persecutions, Primordial Gnosis has been fragmented, distorted and hidden.
