O presente trabalho discutirá a gestão ambiental e o planejamento urbano enquanto instrumentos da política pública municipal, através das concepções e ações que envolvem os órgãos e agentes sociais na dinâmica sócio-ambiental no espaço urbano de Abaetetuba. Analisando as atuações da administração municipal no que concernem as atividades desenvolvidas pela SESMAB e SEMOB, no período de 2004-2006, tentará esclarecer as visíveis e inegáveis contradições na paisagem urbana do Município, principalmente no que tange a qualidade do meio ambiente (o qual implica na qualidade de vida das pessoas) e a ausência de mecanismos mais específicos para desenvolver a proteção do meio ambiente e a inclusão social nos fóruns de decisão. Considerando o enorme potencial legislativo e jurídico brasileiro, esta pesquisa vai tentar mostrar que a falta de mobilidade político-administrativa municipal, mesmo com o recém criado Plano Diretor Municipal (Out./2006) ainda compromete os padrões ambientais urbanos, devido, entre outros, a desarticulação entre as secretarias municipais, o caráter físico-territorial das políticas urbanas e o centralismo do investimento público em áreas já servidas de infra-estrutura.

Florianopolis, a city located in the Santa Catarina State in southern Brazil, is the national leading producer of bivalve mollusks. The quality of bivalve mollusks is closely related to the sanitary conditions of surrounding waters where they are cultivated. Presently, cultivation areas receive large amounts of effluents derived mainly from treated and non-treated domestic, rural, and urban sewage. This contributes to the contamination of mollusks with trace metals, pesticides, other organic compounds, and human pathogens such as viruses, bacteria, and protozoan. The aim of this study was to perform a thorough diagnosis of the shellfish growing areas in Florianopolis, on the coast of Santa Catarina. The contamination levels of seawater, sediments, and oysters were evaluated for their microbiological, biochemical, and chemical parameters at five sea sites in Florianopolis, namely three regular oyster cultivation areas (Sites 1, 2, and oyster supplier), a polluted site (Site 3), and a heavily polluted site (Site 4). Samples were evaluated at day zero and after 14 days. Seawater and sediment samples were collected just once, at the end of the experiment. Antioxidant defenses, which may occur in contaminated environments in response to the increased production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) by organisms, were analyzed in oysters, as well as organic compounds (in oysters and sediment samples) and microbiological contamination (in oysters and seawater samples). The results showed the presence of the following contaminants: fecal coliforms in seawater samples (four sites), human adenovirus (all sites), human noroviruses GI and GII (two sites), Hepatitis A viruses (one site), JC Polyomavirus in an oyster sample from the oyster supplier, Giardia duodenalis cysts, and Cryptosporidium sp oocysts (one site). Among organochlorine pesticides, only DDT (dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane) and HCH (hexachlorocyclohexane) were detected in some sediment and oysters samples in very low levels; site 4 had the highest concentrations of total aliphatic hydrocarbons. PAHs, and linear alkylbenzenes (LABs) found either in oysters or in sediment samples. The major concentration of fecal sterol coprostanol was found at site 4, followed by site 3. After 14 days of allocation in the four selected sites, there was a significant difference in the enzymes analyzed at the monitored spots. The detection of different contaminants in oysters, seawater, and sediment samples in the present study shows the impact untreated or inadequately treated effluents have on coastal areas. These results highlight the need for public investment in adequate wastewater treatment and adequate treatment of oysters, ensuring safe areas for shellfish production as well as healthier bivalve mollusks for consumption.

Aunque son conocidos los recurrentes ciclos de sequías e inundaciones que desde la segunda mitad del siglo XIX ha padecido la provincia de Buenos Aires, todavía se debaten las mejores soluciones para el problema de la abundancia de agua, debido a los cuantiosos daños materiales que ocasiona a las empresas agroganaderas. Sin embargo, esta cuestión no ha concitado el interés de los historiadores, y salvo algunas excepciones, menos atención se ha prestado al manejo de los recursos hídricos por parte de Estado provincial. Nos proponemos estudiar la participación de la agencia estatal en el presupuesto provincial puesto que indica la inversión pública, y ponderar el aporte privado toda vez que se compelía a los propietarios a pagar un impuesto especial. Nuestro período se extiende desde la década de 1870 hasta 1910 en que, estimamos, se cierra un primer ciclo de intervenciones estatales en la cuestión de las inundaciones. Enfocaremos el análisis a través de los registros oficiales, y los mensajes de los gobernadores

El presente estudio se enfoca en la inversión en infraestructura en la provincia de Buenos Aires como un elemento central del cambio estructural pregonado para minimizar los diferenciales de productividad que constituyen la clave de los problemas del ciclo económico argentino. En el enfoque se asume la relación bidireccional entre territorio y escala nacional. Se diferencian para el análisis la infraestructura social, productiva y aquella que es consecuencia de la estructura económica dominante. Se incluye un estudio descriptivo del peso de cada tipo de infraestructura y de la lógica de localización de la inversión, y también se realiza una regresión econométrica mediante la cual se buscan variables explicativas significativas

China is the fastest growing country in the world for last few decades and one of the defining features of China's growth has been investment-led growth. China's sustained high economic growth and increased competitiveness in manufacturing has been underpinned by a massive development of physical infrastructure. In this context, we investigate the role of infrastructure in promoting economic growth in China for the period 1975 to 2007. Overall, the results reveal that infrastructure stock, labour force, public and private investments have played an important role in economic growth in China. More importantly, we find that Infrastructure development in China has significant positive contribution to growth than both private and public investment. Further, there is unidirectional causality from infrastructure development to output growth justifying China's high spending on infrastructure development since the early nineties. The experience from China suggests that it is necessary to design an economic policy that improves the physical infrastructure as well as human capital formation for sustainable economic growth in developing countries.

Recent economic data points to the seeds of an economic recovery in the European Union. However, significant risks remain and bold policies are still needed. There are three central risks. Competitiveness adjustment is incomplete, casting doubt on the sustainability of public debt. Banking remains unstable and fragmented along national lines, resulting in unfavorable financial conditions, which further erode growth, job creation and competitiveness. Rising unemployment, especially among the young, is inequitable, unjust and politically risky. Germany has a central role to play in addressing these risks. The new German government should work on three priorities: Domestic economic policy should be more supportive of growth and adjustment, with higher public investment, a greater role for high-value added services, and more supportive immigration policy. Germany should support a meaningful banking union with a centralised resolution mechanism requiring a transfer of sovereignty to Europe for all countries including Germany. The establishment of a private investment initiative combined with a European Youth Education Fund and labour market reforms should be promoted. Building on these priorities, a significant deepening of the euro area is needed, with a genuine transfer of sovereignty, stronger institutions and democratically legitimate decision-making structures in areas of common policy.

How will we Europeans earn our living in 20 or 30 years' time? And how can it be done, while remaining true to our values of fairness, freedom and solidarity? These fundamental questions predate the financial crisis and will still be with us once we have fully overcome it. Of all the groups in society, business leaders are probably most keenly aware of the challenge posed by globalisation. They have their finger on the pulse of global economic activity and keep alerting me that Europe is losing out. The trade unions, generally more focused on the economy's demand side, regularly call for more (public) investment. Their leadership remains highly committed to Europe but they can sense a rise of Euro-scepticism among their members. We must, and can bring these two narratives together. Yes, global change is relentless and our societies must adapt, but we can also preserve what makes Europe such a special place: a unique combination of relative prosperity, solidarity, individual freedoms, and security. This challenge was always on my mind.
