This article begins by recounting the circumstances that led to the AICPA's decision in 1957 to appoint a special committee to recommend a stronger research program to support the process of establishing accounting principles. It then proceeds to examine in depth the committee's sometimes difficult deliberations that eventually led to a unanimous report, in which it recommended the creation of an Accounting Principles Board and an enlarged accounting research division within the Institute. In the course of the article, the author brings out the strong philosophical differences among several of the Big Eight accounting firms that had been impeding the work of the Committee on Accounting Procedure and that also intruded into the Special Committee's deliberations.

The Creation

This paper examines a struggle over the future use of Nordic forests, which took place from 2009 to 2012 within a major research program, Future Forests—Sustainable Strategies under Uncertainty and Risk, organized and funded by Mistra, The Swedish Foundation for Strategic Environmental Research. We explore the role of strategic environmental research in societal constructions of long-term challenges and future risks. Specifically, we draw attention to the role played by environmental research in the creation of future images that become dominant for how societies structure action for the long term. We also show that this process is on several accounts problematic. Research labeled “strategic” or “relevant” is intended to manage long-term risks and challenges in a sustainable way, by taking into account the “open” and “plural” nature of the future. The case of Future Forests suggests, rather, that by contributing to the emergence of dominant future images, environmental research is entangled with a process of gradual consensus creation around what may be highly selective or biased narratives of the long term, which may conceal or postpone key forms of future conflict.

Se presenta una reseña de los factores peritextuales en las traducciones literarias publicadas en Costa Rica entre 2010 y 2015. La producción bibliográfica analizada proviene de los datos recopilados durante el proyecto de investigación «Bases para el desarrollo de una historia de la traducción literaria en Costa Rica», adscrito al Programa de Traducción e Interpretación: Alternativas de Desarrollo en Costa Rica de la Escuela de Literatura y Ciencias del Lenguaje (Universidad Nacional). El análisis de esos factores permite identificar las tendencias del sector editorial en cuanto al grado de visibilidad que le otorga a la figura del traductor y al proceso de mediación interlingüística.This article provides an overview of peritextual factors in the literary translations published in Costa Rica between 2010 and 2015. The publications analyzed were compiled during the research project “Bases para el desarrollo de una historia de la traducción literaria en Costa Rica” [Foundations for the creation of a history of literary translation in Costa Rica], ascribed to the research program Programa de Traducción e Interpretación: Alternativas de Desarrollo en Costa Rica (Escuela de Literatura, Universidad Nacional). The analysis of these factors sheds light on the peritextual trends regarding the visibility granted by the publishing sector to the translator and to the process of interlinguistic mediation.

The Creation

The Laboratoire des Sciences du Climat et de l'Environnement (LSCE) research program on prehistoric art conducts chronological studies of parietal representations with their associated archaeological context. This multidisciplinary approach provides chronological arguments about the creation period of parietal representations. This article presents chronological investigations carried out in several decorated caves in France (La Grande Grotte, Labastide, Lascaux, La Tête-du-Lion, Villars) and Spain (La Garma, Nerja, La Pileta, Urdiales). Several types of organic materials, collected from different areas of the caves close to the walls and in connection with parietal art, were dated to determine the periods of human presence in the cave, a presence that may have been related to artistic activities. These new radiocarbon results range from 33,000–29,000 (La Grande Grotte) to 16,000–14,000 cal BP (Urdiales).

Sense Of Obligation

Abstract Tomasello offers a compelling account of the emergence of humans’ sense of obligation. We suggest that more needs to be said about the role of affect in the creation of obligations. We also argue that positive emotions such as gratitude evolved to encourage individuals to fulfill cooperative obligations without the negative quality that Tomasello proposes is inherent in obligations.

Abstract Cognitive Gadgets offers a new, convincing perspective on the origins of our distinctive cognitive faculties, coupled with a clear, innovative research program. Although we broadly endorse Heyes’ ideas, we raise some concerns about her characterisation of evolutionary psychology and the relationship between biology and culture, before discussing the potential fruits of examining cognitive gadgets through the lens of active inference.
