Brazilian Ports

The present work has as its theme, the concession policy and the general aspects of the ports. The methodology adopted in the formulation of this work was based on bibliographic research, through consultations with books, magazines, searching for manuals, treaties, articles published on the internet. In this sense, the general objective of this research seeks to present the development of the port system in Brazil. Thus, the specific objectives seek to present the history that surrounds the ports and their emergence, point out the types of existing ports as well as describe the Brazilian port system, address the main issues of the Brazilian port system and, finally, point out the legislative framework for development ports or operations. Finally, we understand the importance of such a theme, leaving the topic open, proposing that in the future a new bibliographic research should be carried out in order to contextualize the themes addressed here. Along with this new bibliographic review, it is suggested the development of a comparative case study between Brazilian ports, showing its importance and value for the Brazilian port economy.

This case history takes place at the biggest flower auction of the world, the Aalsmeer Flower Auction. Directors of the Aalsmeer Flower Auction felt that the Internet might play an important role in the future of their business. They believed that an active and leading position in applying electronic networks could secure and even strengthen their dominant position and that a policy of restraint could be a threat if other parties should enter this market with electronic auctions. At the end of the 1990s, they started various e-Business initiatives. The case study describes the different e-Business initiatives and the responses from suppliers, customers, managers and other stakeholders on each of these initiatives. Readers will be challenged to analyze this material and offer advice to the management of the auction about future directions with respect to e-business.

Legislative Framework

Ireland has become a global hub for personal information, with internet firms headquartered there holding information on billions of users. But has Ireland been a responsible regulator? This chapter examines the approach of the Irish state, tracing the evolution of data protection governance and its application to the internet industry. It outlines the legal and policy context, and argues that regulation has been hampered by a weak legislative framework and significant under-resourcing of the data protection supervisory authority. Using Facebook as a case study, it examines how this has prompted international pressure for stronger regulation and evaluates the Irish response. It concludes by arguing that Ireland has yet to properly engage with the wider issues presented by its new role as a key jurisdiction for the internet industry, with data protection being just one of many aspects that need more attention as Irish regulation increasingly has spillover effects elsewhere.

This report analyzes the governance of large scale public transit infrastructure planning in the GTA. To accomplish this goal a comparative case study was carried out of the two most recent large scale public transit infrastructure provision plans in Toronto, the Network 2011 plan, and following iterations; and the Transit City aspects of the Big Move plan and subsequent iterations. Each case study consists of (1) a review of the history of each plan and (2) a review of the efficiency of the many iterations of the original plan within each case study. Through analysis of this data several characteristics of governance were associated with movement towards better and worse iterations from an efficiency perspective. These characteristics were used to inform recommendations regarding the future of transportation governance in the GTA.

Andy Steiner was checking the Internet for late night West Coast baseball game scores early on Saturday morning, August 3rd, 2007, when an email message popped up on his screen. It was a message from a prospective buyer for Classy Delicates, Steiner’s online lingerie retailing business.  Intrigued by the offer, Steiner contacted the prospective buyer who reiterated his intention and talked specific terms for the purchase.  “Isn’t this a coincidence,” remarked Steiner to his wife, Julia.  “We were just talking about the future of our business and here comes this new offer. This is the fourth offer we’ve had.”  “We should consider a sale of the business seriously,” said Julia, “even though you were thinking of upgrading the site to improve traffic.”  “How much time do we have to examine the offers?” asked Julia to her husband.  “The current buyer has made an offer to one other business and he told me that it’s either the other business or us, and not both.  I don’t know if he is bluffing or not, but I think we have a week to decide for all four,” answered Steiner.

This paper focuses on how insurgencies are continually recast in parallel to State-led redevelopment or ‘upgrading’. It brings attention to communities that shape and are reshaped by inclusion of data in processes through which citizens participate in city-making. Drawing on a comparative case study of intensively upgraded informal settlements in São Paulo, Brazil, findings show that data-based insurgencies have been forged from prior collective action. The resultant co-created or situated data challenge the State’s legitimacy as sole arbiter of informal settlement representation and infrastructure transformation in cities. In this context, the term infrastructural insurgency is proposed as a way that socio-material agencies iterate over time and in space, and to stimulate discourse about the future of upgrading. It reflects on which interactions between data and redevelopment can inform planning in post-redevelopment conditions across global south.

Societal Reaction

In the age of the Internet, anonymous online users can form a societal reaction by posting large quantities of critique and insulting comments against (perceived) norm violations on social media. These so-called online firestorms, or Enjō in Japanese, tend to include aggressive behavior against the target. This research aims to reveal the dynamics of Enjō and explores how people communicate with each other in the formation process of Enjō by conducting a comparative case study. This study collects tweets posted in five Enjō cases and compares each case to create conceptual categories of the communication process of Enjō. Results show that the participants of Enjō interact with each other to define the problem of concern through exchange of information. Moreover, it is revealed that there are two types of process in the escalation of Enjō, “social problematization” and “villainization.” In the conclusion, the implications of these findings are discussed.

During the last 40 years, the State of Qatar has shown tremendous development at a rapid pace, thus becoming a powerful state both in the Gulf and international arena. The State of Qatar shares a concern for protecting the environment with the rest of the world. Rapidly increasing populations, pollution and wastes are increasing as well. The State of Qatar is addressing this concern by issuing many environmental regulations. In fact, it has ratified international conventions related to protecting the environment and waste management and has created environmental bodies such as the Ministry of Environment. Using collected data and comparison with other countries, this article will provide an assessment of Qatar’s recycling waste regulations, their efficiency and implications. Having evaluated the data, I propose that steps now be taken and plans made for the future.
