Abstract The principles characterizing the traditional revenue-expense approach to accounting cannot be traced back to a distinct event. I argue that they are ecologically rational. Their functionality is the result of cultural evolution, not of unitary human design. This is the reason why the efforts to defend them against the balance-sheet approach endorsed by standard-setters have encountered severe difficulties. Only the latter is clearly based on a coherent model of the economy, namely neoclassical economics. I further argue that a solid basis for explaining the rationale of the culturally evolved accounting principles can be found in behavioral economics. These principles are in line with human behavior as found in numerous laboratory and field experiments. It is especially with respect to Prospect Theory that a close parallel can be identified. I combine this observation with a market process view of the economy. Financial accounting according to the balance-sheet approach does not add new information to the market process; it only summarizes on the firm level information provided by the market. In contrast, the revenue-expense approach provides private information to the market à la Hayek (1945). The revenue-expense approach thus turns out to be congenial to the organization of the market economy.

Two Stages

Within Christianity down through the centuries there has always been a strain of teaching which holds that salvation, so far as it may be known in this life, is experienced in two stages: first the event of becoming a Christian; then, as a later and distinct event, some special and distinctive operation or gift of the Holy Spirit. In the history of Christian thought this disjointedness was first clearly formulated in the Catholic sacraments of Baptism and Confirmation. According to A. J. Macdonald, the idea that Confirmation confers the gift of the Spirit was held without question until the time of Wyclif. And today in anglo-catholic tradition, although the episcopal laying on of hands is commonly thought of as bestowing a strengthening gift of the Spirit, some continue to speak as though the Spirit is first received at that time. Indeed, since the question was reopened by F. W. Puller in 1880, it has been regularly argued, often with great weight, though not infrequently with greater ingenuity, that far greater significance (in terms of the Spirit) should be attributed to Confirmation than to Baptism.

AbstractThe Upper Ordovician (Katian–Hirnantian) brachiopods of Tafilalt, eastern Anti-Atlas, are locally abundant, diverse and well preserved, providing a near-continuous record of faunal change on a high-latitude siliciclastic-dominated platform. A chronostratigraphic framework, based on brachiopod distribution and preservation in shell accumulation events and integrated with sequence stratigraphy, has been generated for the Katian interval, which has allowed correlation with the chitinozoan-based chronostratigraphic and sequence-stratigraphic framework erected for the central Anti-Atlas. In Tafilalt, two Katian (transgressive–regressive) composite depositional sequences, c. 60 and 170 m thick and related to third-order fluctuations in sea level, were unaffected by Hirnantian glaciogenic erosion. They were deposited on a mixed platform with a bryonoderm association dominated by brachiopods, bryozoans and echinoderms. Brachiopods developed in high-energy inner shelf areas, whereas bryozoans (mainly trepostomates and fenestrates) and pelmatozoans (cystoids and crinoids) dominated in low-energy outer shelf areas. Brachiopod accumulations mark distinct event surfaces, such as lag and event concentrations, hydraulic simple and composite concentrations related to transgressive surfaces, and hiatal condensed concentrations marking maximum flooding surfaces. The taphonomic condensation displayed by the Hirnantian Alnif Member, which onlaps the erosive base of glaciogenic tunnel channels, is explained as reworking and resedimentation of allochthonous, robust, biogenic hard parts sourced from the underlying (Katian) Ktaoua Group.

Child's Brain

Behavioral studies have demonstrated that children develop a nearly adult-like grammar between 36 and 42 months, but few studies have addressed how the child's brain processes semantic versus syntactic information. In previous research, Silva-Pereyra and colleagues showed that distinct event-related potentials (ERPs) are elicited by semantic and syntactic violations in sentences in children as young as 30, 36, and 48 months, following the patterns displayed by adults. In the current study, we examined ERPs to syntactic phrase structure violations in real and jabberwocky sentences in 36-month-old children. Jabberwocky sentences are sentences in which content (open-class) words are replaced by pseudowords while function (closed-class) words are retained. Results showed that syntactically anomalous real sentences elicited two positive ERP effects: left-distributed effects from 500 to 750 msec and 1050 to 1300 msec, whereas syntactically anomalous jabberwocky sentences elicited two negative ERP effects: a left-distributed effect from 750 to 900 msec and a later broadly distributed effect from 950 to 1150 msec. The results indicate that when preschoolers process real English sentences, ERPs resembling the positive effects previously reported for adults are noted, although at longer latencies and with broader scalp distributions. However, when preschoolers process jabberwocky sentences with altered lexical-semantic content, a negative-going ERP component similar to one typically associated with the extraction of meaning is noted.

The World Handbook of Political Indicators IV (WHIV) provides global cross-national daily coverage of contentious politics events – protest, violence, sanctions and relaxations – conducted by governments, insurgents, and civilians. Using auto-coding of Reuters international newswire based on KnowledgeManager,™ the dataset covers 231 countries and territories from January 1, 1990 through December 31, 2004 and includes 40 distinct event forms and a set of standard actors and targets resulting in 264,289 events. WHIV’s breadth of geographic coverage, detailed atomic level event forms, and temporal specificity provides unique opportunities for studying contentious conflict globally and in specific countries. We discuss the uses of these data and the global distribution and trends in protest, political violence and governmental sanctions and relaxations.

Material Record

This final chapter presents a self-contained overview of what the material evidence tells us about the twelfth-century civil war and its consequences. Issues with dating archaeological evidence to the period in question mean that conclusions must be cautious, but it seems clear that the Anarchy is not obviously identifiable in the material record as a distinct ‘event horizon’. Archaeology has much more to offer us in terms of illuminating the conduct and psychology of Anglo-Norman warfare and in showing how lordly identity was being transformed through the period, and how it was expressed through castle-building and ecclesiastical patronage. Consideration of these research themes and others can help extricate studies of the twelfth-civil war from the ‘anarchy or not?’ debate. In conclusion: the mid-twelfth century is best regarded not as an age of anarchy but as an age of transition.

Inside Out

This chapter reviews how empiricist philosophy shaped the dominant outside-in thinking in neuroscience that gave rise to the perception-decision-action framework. In contrast, the inside-out framework takes action as the primary source of knowledge. Action validates the meaning and significance of sensory signals by providing a second opinion. The chapter also compares the relationship between “blank slate” and preconfigured brain models. It describes the brain as a sort of “dictionary” with preexisting internal dynamics and syntactical rules, filled initially with nonsense neuronal words. These nonsense words acquire significance for the animal through exploratory action and represent a distinct event or situation. Preconfigured neuronal networks can generalize and provides fast and “good-enough” solutions under many situations, while detailed and precise computation mobilizes a large fraction of brain resources.
