This dissertation explores the significance of law and religion to the Scottish Revolution through the career of Archibald Johnston of Wariston. As a lawyer committed to the defense of Scottish Presbyterianism against the Anglicanism of Charles I, Wariston epitomized the legal and religious objectives of the Revolution. While his importance to the Revolution is marked in the historiography, Wariston has received little specialized study. This work draws on manuscript collections from Edinburgh University Library, the National Archives of Scotland and the National Library of Scotland to reconstruct his vision of the Scottish constitution. As the most intimate source of his religious life, his diary is explored in a social and political context to construct a composite view of his private piety and his public policy. / Wariston joined visceral opposition to innovations in religious worship imposed by Charles I. He rose in prominence because his legal expertise was indispensable to a Revolution predicated on a constitutional challenge of the authority of the Crown. The Revolution was a nationalist revolt against an alleged English imperialism. Wariston's religious experience in the Revolution revealed that the Church was the touchstone for a revival of national consciousness of Scottish laws, courts, customs and history. Wariston participated in the rediscovery and reinterpretation of Scottish law to undo decades of Anglicized Crown reform in Church and State. / When war began in 1639 Wariston became central to intelligence gathering and the forging of a loose alliance with English opponents of Charles I. This intelligence network informed Scottish propaganda to England and proved decisive in turning English popular opinion against the King. In 1640 Charles was forced to abandon war and enter into the negotiations which led to the London Treaty of 1641. Wariston pursued two main objectives---Scottish independence and permanent institutions of Anglo-Scottish cooperation---to ensure Scottish influence in English policy. While the latter initiatives were deferred in the Treaty, the Revolution achieved independence and the preservation of Scottish Presbyterianism. This study finds that ideas of religion and law in the Revolution were shaped by the overarching imperative of independence and a renewed Scottish nationalism.

El objetivo de este reporte es presentar los resultados de la valorización económica que se ha realizado a Unión de Cervecerías Peruanas Backus y Johnston S.A.A. al ejercicio terminado el 31 de diciembre de 2014. Con este fin, se ha analizado los datos históricos de la empresa, realizado estimaciones de sus ingresos, gastos e inversiones por un periodo de diez años; además se han planteado supuestos que han sido utilizados en las metodologías aplicadas para sensibilizar los resultados obtenidos.

El presente trabajo de investigación desarrolla la valorización de Unión de Cervecerías Peruanas Backus y Johnston S.A.A. (en adelante “Backus” o la “compañía”), una de las principales empresas industriales del Perú y considerada la más grande en el sector de producción de bebidas alcohólicas. Para realizar la valorización, se han considerado factores macroeconómicos, la evaluación del sector cervecero y la situación económica-financiera de la compañía, sobre la base de información pública, y noticias de la industria, haciendo uso de fuentes que se consideran confiables y relevantes. Asimismo, este trabajo tiene carácter estrictamente académico, las opiniones expresadas en este documento constituyen la opinión del grupo a la fecha de publicación y bajo ninguna circunstancia debe ser usado o considerado como una oferta de venta o solicitud de compra de acciones. Para el cálculo del valor fundamental, aplicamos dos métodos muy utilizados en el mercado: el flujo de caja descontado y múltiplos comparables; sin embargo, el grupo considera que el primer método recoge mejor las expectativas de crecimiento y generación de valor por parte de la compañía, estos flujos fueron descontados a una tasa promedio ponderada (WACC) y se añadió el valor terminal de la empresa considerando flujos a perpetuidad después del décimo año proyectado. Finalmente, se concluye que Backus, al tener una posición de dominio, puede adoptar una estrategia de liderazgo en costos y, a su vez, tener productos diferenciados, ya que asegura márgenes operativos muy estables.

Wild free-roaming horses in the American West continue to exist in tension with the land they inhabit, the government that “manages” them, and the people that are impacted by them. The problem, argued here, is the result of the ideological construction of mustangs in American culture, and it calls forth questions about human-nature relationships as well as contemporary understandings of Environmentalism. This research follows in the theoretical foundations of Raymond Geuss and Tommie Shelby to unpack the epistemic properties (empirical evidence of the contexts from which ideologies are formed), functional properties (consequences of suffering and benefits as a result of ideologies), and genetic histories (historical contexts the construct the ideologies in a culture) of ideologies relating to wild horses in the West; by doing so it also provides insight into nature identification, the borders and barriers of human creations, and the limitations of access for performing environmentalism. This text focuses primarily on the life and experiences of Velma Bronn Johnston as an exemplar of environmental change in unexpected ways. Her narrative culminates in the passing of the Wild Free-Roaming Horse and Burro Act of 1971 that created material changes for the lives of mustangs in the West as well as long-term consequences for citizens of the United States of America. Consequentially, mustangs of the West face a population “problem” that costs the United States more than $80 million annually with almost no signs of decreasing.

El presente trabajo de investigación expone información relevante al mercado e inversionistas acerca de la estimación del valor fundamental de una de las compañías más tradicionales y representativas de la economía peruana: Unión de Cervecerías Peruanas Backus y Johnston S.A.A, en adelante Backus. Con información al 31 de diciembre de 2017, esta tesis constituye una de las primeras valorizaciones formales de Backus realizada de forma posterior a su incorporación al grupo cervecero transnacional AB InBev. En ese sentido, el modelamiento de las variables y escenarios contemplados intenta recoger los principales elementos de estrategia y de gestión provenientes de la nueva casa matriz.
