La ley natural en Domingo de Soto
No full textAt first glance, Domingo de Soto appears as an author who is included in a
Thomistic line of thought. Understandably, however, we are not dealing with a mere
commentator of questions treated by Aquinas, but rather with an author of
treatises who undertakes the task of making a synthesis between the Thomistic
legacy and the scientific problematic of his own epoch. This he accomplishes
with great systematic coherence and precise exemplification.
Soto affirms with priority the existence of natural law deriving from eternal law.
He studies its notional classification fo"owing the procedure of the distinctions.
Natural law, according to him, although not substantia"y a habit is to be found
in us in the form of ahabit -as the ensemble of those things which have to be
practised.
It do es not appear that Soto was very interested in giving a definition of
natural law. It is very probable that he accepted Saint Thomas' formulation, although
there al so exists the possibility that Soto gives atrue definition -or at least a
passing reference- when he writes: -Haec est lex naturalis: eorum scilicet principiorum
quae absque discursu lumine naturali per se nota sunt •. (De iustitia et
lure, 1, q. 3, a. 1; 1, p. 22).
The content of natural law, according to our author, is as much configurated by
those principies which are perceived by themselves (per se nota), as by those
which are such for us (quoad nos).
Soto al so studies the properties of natural law: universality, immutability and
indispensability. But he also stands out -in our opinion- for the clarification
which he makes with regard to the important and highly debated subject of indispensability,
separating this property from the acts of free divine disposition, and
placing it in a logical line of dependence upon immutability.
In summary, Soto presents a very complete vision of natural law, without faIIing
into jus naturae exagerations, nor limiting himself neither to the field of
pure principies
Public hospital costs and quality in the Dominican Republic
No full textMeasuring costs in public hospitals in developing countries is hampered by the lack of an appropriate costing system, or of any systematic cost accounting. Invoices for goods and services, prices for inputs, and patient records are generally absent. As a result, cost measures have historically been based on budget figures - the only available financial data. But budget allocations bear little relationship to the resources actually required to provide services to hospital patients. The patient-based methodology described by the authors circumvents this problem by measuring actual hospital resources allocated to patients. Their study was conducted in a single Dominican hospital during a one week period in April 1989. Their approach documents and gives prices for goods, services, and personnel time provided by the hospital to emergency patients, inpatients, and outpatients. They used the following to measure quality and efficiency: (a) the qualifications and relative costs of medical manpower delivering services; (b) the extent and nature of shortages; (c) comparisons of physician orders and actual services provided; and (d) (for selected diagnoses) the specifics of clinical practices in the hospital, compared with accepted clinical norms for the Dominican Republic. They found that average and total costs of services understate the true costs - because of shortages, inappropriate and underused personnel, and nonfunctioning equipment. Quality of care measures suggest low quality and poor efficiency. Norms of medical practice were not followed in more than 80 percent of the cases examined. Rates of completion for diagnostic tests were below 50 percent for outpatient services and between 60 and 70 percent for inpatient and emergency services. The study registered significant monthly savings of 824 for nonavailability of drugs. Policy recommendations of the authors center on the need to reform the organization and delivery of health care as well as physician payment practices - and to giving more authority to hospital administrators. To make Dominican hospitals more efficient, there must be greater authority and accountability for hospital directors and better incentives for improving medical and management performance. Quality assurance needs great improvement if the Dominican system is to ensure a basic standard of care.Health Monitoring&Evaluation,Health Systems Development&Reform,Business Environment,Business in Development,Health Economics&Finance

Acerca de la fecha de nacimiento de Santo Domingo de la Calzada: Hagiografía, iconografía y tradición
No full textEn 1606 fray Luis de la Vega publicó una de las hagiografías más co-nocidas de Santo Domingo de la Calzada. En ella dejó escrito por primera vez que este santo había muerto a los noventa años, es decir, en 1019. La intención del autor fue rescatar devocionalmente su figura y atribuirle una longevidad inusual como signo de virtud cristiana, sin embargo, los pos¬teriores hagiógrafos otorgaron veracidad al dato. Este artículo analiza el origen y arraigo de una tradición que aún es repetida a pesar de carecer de fundamento histórico, y que por ejemplo llevó en 2019 a la celebración del milenario del nacimiento de Santo Domingo de la Calzada.In 1606 fray Luis de la Vega published one of the most famous hagio¬graphies of Santo Domingo de la Calzada. In it was written for the first time that this saint had died at the age of ninety, in 1019. The intention of the author was to devoutly rescue the figure and attribute to him an unusual longevity as a sign of Christian virtue, however, the subsequent hagiographs gave truthfulness to the fact. This article analyzes the origin and roots of a tradition that is still repeated despite its lack of historical foundation, and which led in 2019 to the celebration of the millennium of the birth of Santo Domingo de la Calzada

Export Processing in the Caribbean: Lessons from Four Case Studies
No full textThe author reviews case studies of four Caribbean countries-the Dominican Republic, Jamaica, Saint Lucia and Trinidad-and briefly discusses an African country, Mauritius. He compares labour legislation, nationality of investors, technology transfer, and linkages with the rest of the economy. Of these five cases, only Trinidad failed to develop a significant export processing sector. Explanations rooted in government policy are suggested for this result.
