Abstract:
This study presents a methodology for determining port economic hinterlands through comprehensive logistics optimization. The research advances traditional geographical approaches by developing an integrated cost model that considers maritime transport, inland transportation, warehousing expenses, and time-dependent factors. Testing this methodology on the Spanish port system (with three main ports: Valencia, Algeciras, and Barcelona), we demonstrate how product characteristics and origins significantly influence optimal port selection and hinterland boundaries. The analysis examines both peri

The cruise line industry (CLI) provides an opportunity to rapidly improve national (and regional) economies in destinations. However, lack of planning and proper preparation by destination authorities and the cruise industry can have significant impacts on the local community, commerce, and environment. This paper identifies and quantifies near-shore challenges between the national authorities and the CLI that include port facility preparedness and the potential stresses on local infrastructure. These key parameters used to quantify the impact of the CLI on established destinations can potenti

Abstract Registration of cultivar names of woody ornamental plants in North America (exclusive of roses, fruits, and nuts) began in 1948 under the auspices of the American Association of Nurserymen (AAN).

Abstract:
As awareness of the negative externalities created by ports increases, and the perceived local benefits decrease, ports must find new ways to improve the local noneconomic benefits they provide if they are to obtain local support. This global survey collected data from 51 ports in 26 countries. The results highlight a recognition by port authorities that ports face increasing pressure from local residents to reduce their negative impacts and that they should seek to improve the public perception towards the port by increasing local benefits. At present, port information and social media (81%),

Abstract:
Investments in port container terminals are sensitive to uncertainties. Public investments in infrastructure have been significantly reduced in the last decade in developing countries. The Brazilian government infrastructure investment was only 1.85 % of GDP in 2019, representing the lowest level in the last fifty years. Nonetheless, the regulatory framework of the port sector in Brazil has undergone significant changes over time, increasing the number of private port container terminal leases. The expansion capacity of the private port facilities is strongly linked to the demand uncertainty,

Abstract:
Until 1774, farmers passively observed the agitation against parliamentary taxation rather than actively engaging in the anti-Parliament agitation. One reason was that the Stamp Act affected them far less directly than it did urban populations. The Stamp Act was an excise tax, a type which farmers had always favored over taxes on persons and property which bore more heavily on rural society. Farmers mobilized at last in 1774 after the Boston Port Bill closed the port as punishment for Bostonians dumping tea in their harbor. Rural towns and counties formed committees, passed resolutions, and or

The rebels killed a slave trader whose gun had misfired, wounded the captain, and took over the ship. They forced the crew to put into port at Nassau, where British authorities captured them.

Abstract:
The unlawful killing of a person or persons by parties unknown, lynching reputedly had its origins in the American Revolution when Charles Lynch of Bedford County, Virginia, formed a vigilante association to rid the region of Tories, or British sympathizers. For much of the nineteenth century it was seen as a form of rough justice meted out to outlaws in frontier communities in the absence of effective legal authorities. Between 1889 and 1918 at least 3,224 people were killed by lynch mobs in the United States; 2,522 were black and 702 white.

Abstract Among the members of the Organization of American States (OAS), the association between human rights abuse and states of emergency has been strong. Several characteristics of the legal and political culture contribute to this phenomenon-periodic seizures of power by the military from civilian authorities, formalistic legal systems with weak traditions of separation of powers, and economically and racially polarized societies producing insurgent or terrorist groups.

The key to transport safety lies in the designing and manufacturing quality of the transport containers.
