Sobre la medalla a Godoy de la Real Sociedad Económica de Amigos del País de Valencia acuñada en 1807. Documentos inéditos

Entre los documentos del archivo de la Real Sociedad Econó-mica de Amigos del País de Valencia (RSEAPV)1, se encuentra un con-junto muy interesante concerniente a la realización de una medalla por parte de esta sociedad en honor de Manuel Godoy, Príncipe de la Paz. Es en enero de 1807 cuando la RSEAPV decide nombrarlo miembro protector de esa Real Sociedad y, en agradecimiento a su aceptación y su reciente nombramiento al Grande Almirantazgo de España e Yndias, acuña la medalla sobre la cual presento este trabajo. El estudio detallado de los citados documentos nos permitirá ir más allá de las imágenes re-presentadas en el reverso de la misma, proporcionándonos su correcta interpretación dentro del contexto histórico del momento.

A Valuation Analysis of the Physical Oceanographic Real Time System (PORTS)

This analysis estimates several economic benefits derived from national implementation of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Physical Oceanographic Real-Time System (PORTS®) at the 175 largest ports in the United States. Significant benefits were observed owing to: (1) lower commercial marine accident rates and resultant reductions in morbidity, mortality and property damage; (2) reduced pollution remediation costs; and, (3) increased productivity associated with operation of more fully loaded commercial vessels. Evidence also suggested additional benefits from heightened commercial and recreational fish catch and diminished recreational boating accidents. Annual gross benefits from 58 current PORTS® locations exceeded $217 million with an addition $83 million possible if installed at the largest remaining 117 ports in the United States. Over the ten-year economic life of PORTS® instruments, the present value for installation at all 175 ports could approach $2.5 billion.

Importância das Servidões Militares Aeronáuticas e o seu Impacto na Economia Real

As Servidões Militares Aeronáuticas (SMA) pressupõem restrições que lhes são intrínsecas, suscetíveis de impactar na Economia Real Portuguesa (ERP). Na Força Aérea (FA) as SMA denotam especial importância, em razão das constantes evolução e atualização das Operações Aéreas e tramitação legal imposta, com vista a uma minimização dos encargos restritivos dos bens que, territorialmente, lhes estão associados. Assim, salienta-se a pertinência das SMA enquanto processo que tem reflexos na ERP, uma vez serem utilizadas pela FA no processo de Licenciamento Urbano. Desta feita, foi avaliada a importância das SMA na FA, através de estudo de caso, utilizando um raciocínio hipotético-dedutivo, o qual norteou as entrevistas semiestruturadas, conceptualizadas no respetivo mapa. Estas entrevistas permitiram verificar que: a FA elabora as SMA segundo pressupostos reais e atualizados; a FA emite pareceres positivos relativos aos pedidos de licenciamento que estejam de acordo com o preconizado nos Decreto-Lei das SMA vigentes e nas respetivas áreas territoriais de aplicação; os processos de emissão de pareceres na FA podem ser melhorados concluindo-se, assim, que o processo de conceção das SMA na FA influencia o desenvolvimento da ERP. Abstract: It is assumed that the Aeronautical Control of Obstacles (ACO) imposes certain inner limitations that are susceptible to cause impact on the Portuguese Real Economy (PRE). The ACO area is of special relevance for the Portuguese Air Force (PoAF) due to the permanent evolution and update of the Air Operations and the legal procedures aimed at the decrease of the property limitations associated to them. The ACO is, therefore, of the utmost importance, considering that its process has a significant impact on PRE because of its use by the PoAF within the Building Control process. The scope of this research lies on the importance of the ACO for the PoAF. The research is based on the case study method and the hypothetical-deductive reasoning which set the guidelines for the semi-structured interviews within the conceptual framework, which made possible to verify the PoAF: develops the ACO according to real and updated assumptions; issues positive official assessments to the requests for building licensing that comply with the ACO Legal Decrees within its territorial area of applicability; process of issuing official assessments may be improved, concluding that the development of the ACO within the PoAF influences the development of the PRE.
