Value creation in capital waterway projects: Application of a transaction cost and transaction benefit framework for the Miami River and the New Orleans Inner Harbour Navigation Canal

Waterways have many more ties with society than as a medium for the transportation of goods alone. Waterway systems offer society many kinds of socio-economic value. Waterway authorities responsible for management and (re)development need to optimize the public benefits for the investments made. However, due to the many trade-offs in the system these agencies have multiple options for achieving this goal. Because they can invest resources in a great many different ways, they need a way to calculate the efficiency of the decisions they make. Transaction cost theory, and the analysis that goes with it, has emerged as an important means of justifying efficiency decisions in the economic arena. To improve our understanding of the value-creating and coordination problems for waterway authorities, such a framework is applied to this sector. This paper describes the findings for two cases, which reflect two common multi trade-off situations for waterway (re)development. Our first case study focuses on the Miami River, an urban revitalized waterway. The second case describes the Inner Harbour Navigation Canal in New Orleans, a canal and lock in an industrialized zone, in need of an upgrade to keep pace with market developments. The transaction cost framework appears to be useful in exposing a wide variety of value-creating opportunities and the resistances that come with it. These insights can offer infrastructure managers guidance on how to seize these opportunities.

"Natural" disasters as (neo-liberal) opportunity? Discussing post-hurricane Katrina urban regeneration in New Orleans

By providing a wide literature review, post-hurricane Katrina uneven urban regeneration in New Orleans is presented here by framing it within a historical perspective in order to underline how environmental threats too often seem to be not so much “natural” but rather man-made as well as to highlight both the reasons and the ways in which, in post-disaster reconstruction, competitive growth has been valued over equity, by directly benefiting those who were already the most advantaged. The aim is to highlight how environmental disasters can be considered as socially constructed phenomena, as they cannot be seen as a single event but rather as a process made by a series of progressive steps occurring within different spheres, which do not necessarily concern the environment only.

Probing the (6,7)Li nucleon densities through a new break-up process approach

In this work we present a double folding optical model analysis of new near-barrier quasi-elastic experimental data for the (6,7)Li + (120)Sn systems. From the analysis, it was possible to confirm the ground-state nucleon densities assumed for the weakly bound (6,7)Li isotopes. The apparent discrepancies between the experimental densities and those based on Dirac-Hartree-Fock Bogoliubov (DHB) calculations were removed. A new approach that simulates the projectile break-up and a positive polarization from couplings of (6,7)Li bound states with the continuum was considered in the reaction mechanism.

[New insights into diagnosis and management of gestational diabetes mellitus: recommendations of the Swiss Society for Endocrinology and Diabetes]

Physiology and current knowledge about gestational diabetes which led to the adoption of new diagnostic criterias and blood glucose target levels during pregnancy by the Swiss Society for Endocrinology and Diabetes are reviewed. The 6th International Workshop Conference on Gestational Diabetes mellitus in Pasedena (2008) defined new diagnostic criteria based on the results of the HAPO-Trial. These criteria were during the ADA congress in New Orleans in 2009 presented. According to the new criteria there is no need for screening, but all pregnant women have to be tested with a 75 g oral glucose tolerance test between the 24th and 28th week of pregnancy. The new diagnostic values are very similar to the ones previously adopted by the ADA with the exception that only one out of three values has to be elevated in order to make the diagnosis of gestational diabetes. Due to this important difference it is very likely that gestational diabetes will be diagnosed more frequently in the future. The diagnostic criteria are: Fasting plasma glucose > or = 5.1 mmol/l, 1-hour value > or = 10.0 mmol/l or 2-hour value > or = 8.5 mmol/l. Based on current knowledge and randomized trials it is much more difficult to define glucose target levels during pregnancy. This difficulty has led to many different recommendations issued by diabetes societies. The Swiss Society of Endocrinology and Diabetes follows the arguments of the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) that self-blood glucose monitoring itself lacks precision and that there are very few randomized trials. Therefore, the target levels have to be easy to remember and might be slightly different in mmol/l or mg/dl. The Swiss Society for Endocrinology and Diabetes adopts the tentative target values of the IDF with fasting plasma glucose values < 5.3 mM and 1- and 2-hour postprandial (after the end of the meal) values of < 8.0 and 7.0 mmol/l, respectively. The last part of these recommendations deals with the therapeutic options during pregnancy (nutrition, physical exercise and pharmaceutical treatment). If despite lifestyle changes the target values are not met, approximately 25 % of patients have to be treated pharmaceutically. Insulin therapy is still the preferred treatment option, but metformin (and as an exception glibenclamide) can be used, if there are major hurdles for the initiation of insulin therapy.
