“…Note that this variable encapsulates investments made at a previous stage of development. To capture the pace of investment it has been decided to incorporate depreciation (Martinez-Budria et al, 1999) as a further financial measure. In addition, operating expenses (Barros, 2005) are examined to estimate the cost side of the equation.…”

“…In the port industry, many academics have examined performance and efficiency. In their research they have used a series of inputs, which are the number of people employed in a port (Barros, 2003;Barros and Athanassiou, 2004;Roll and Hayuth, 1993), the number of gantry cranes (Cullinane et al, 2004), the area occupied by the terminal (Cullinane et al, 2004;Wang and Cullinane, 2006), the fixed assets of the business (Barros, 2003;Cullinane and Song, 2003;Melendez-Hidalgo et al, 2007), operating cost (Barros, 2005;, depreciations (Martinez-Budria et al, 1999), the total number of piers in a port (Cullinane et al, 2004).…”

“…In addition, the literature on the port industry refers to a series of outputs, which are total revenue (Cullinane and Song, 2003;Martinez-Budria et al, 1999;Liu, 1995;Park and De, 2004) total TEUs managed by the port (Cullinane et al, 2004;Liu, 1995), total tons stevedored at the port (Barros, 2003;Barros and Athanassiou, 2004;Martinez-Budria et al, 1999;Park and De, 2004;Roll and Hayuth, 1993) total vessel traffic (Barros, 2003;Barros and Athanassiou, 2004), passengers transported (Barros, 2006;Coto Millan et al, 2000), tankers and dry bulk vessels (Barros, 2006).…”

“…In previous research carried out on port industry regarding port performance and efficiency measurement, total revenue constitutes the outputs of the use of inputs in service production (Cullinane and Song, 2003;Martinez-Budria et al, 1999;Liu, 1995;Park and De, 2004). According to researchers, the inputs used are the total cargo traffic in tons (Liu, 1995), the expenses for the staff and depreciations (Martinez-Budria et al, 1999), the fixed capitals of the business (Cullinane and Song, 2003) and the number of vessels that are stevedored at a port (Park and De, 2004).…”

Problem statement: Market globalization increases demand and the competition between firms. Ports as basic figurative nodes cannot remain separate from this change. Technological improvements, the increased demand of marine transports, the demand for new, bigger and more specialized vessels, has increased the competition among ports. Approach: In this competitive environment business mistakes may be proved fatal and marketing strategies arise as a means for differentiation. As such, modern ports suffer both from internal and external pressures. On the one hand, they need to exhibit management competency in the pursuit of suitable strategy and in the allocation of scarce resources. On the other, they no longer enjoy the freedom of a monopoly and therefore face a completely competitive market. Results: The selection of a suitable strategy is important for ports wishing to improve their financial results. The better financial capability for a firm means investing in the constantly changing shipping market. Economic prosperity also adds value to a firm that uses suitable marketing strategies to satisfy its customers. Conclusion: The present richer examined two alternative strategies-profit maximization and revenue maximization-and explores the factors that influence the application of these two strategies in the port industry. Data from 18 European ports were examined by multiple step-wise regression. The results proved the diversity of the two applications.

BackgroundThis study aims to examine the costs associated with a Hospital in the Nursing Home (HiNH) program in Queensland Australia directed at patients from residential aged care facilities (RACFs) with emergency care needs.MethodsA cost analysis was undertaken comparing the costs under the HiNH program and the current practice, in parallel with a pre-post controlled study design. The study was conducted in two Queensland public hospitals: the Royal Brisbane and Women’s Hospital (intervention hospital) and the Logan Hospital (control hospital). Main outcome measures were the associated incremental costs or savings concerning the HiNH program provision and the acute hospital care utilisation over one year after intervention.ResultsThe initial deterministic analysis calculated the total induced mean costs associated with providing the HiNH program over one year as AU$488,116, and the total induced savings relating to acute hospital care service utilisation of AU$8,659,788. The total net costs to the health service providers were thus calculated at -AU$8,171,671 per annum. Results from the probabilistic sensitivity analysis (based on 10,000 simulations) showed the mean and median annual net costs associated with the HiNH program implementation were -AU$8,444,512 and–AU$8,202,676, and a standard deviation of 2,955,346. There was 95% certainty that the values of net costs would fall within the range from -AU$15,018,055 to -AU$3,358,820.ConclusionsThe costs relating to implementing the HiNH program appear to be much less than the savings in terms of associated decreases in acute hospital service utilisation. The HiNH service model is likely to have the cost-saving potential while improving the emergency care provision for RACF residents.

Bicycle Facilities That Address Safety, Crime, and Economic Development: Perceptions from Morelia, Mexico

México is a developing nation and, in the city of Morelia, the concept of the bicyclist as a road user appeared only recently in the Municipal Traffic Regulations. Perhaps the right bicycle infrastructure could address safety, crime, and economic development. To identify the best infrastructure, six groups in Morelia ranked and commented on pictures of bicycle environments that exist in bicycle-friendly nations. Perceptions about bike paths, but only those with impossible-to-be-driven-over solid barriers, were associated with safety from crashes, lowering crime, and contributing to economic development. Shared use paths were associated with lowering the probability of car/bike crashes but lacked the potential to deter crime and foster the local economy. Joint bus and bike lanes were associated with lower safety because of the unwillingness by Mexican bus drivers to be courteous to bicyclists. Gender differences about crash risk biking in the road with the cars (6 best/0 worst scenario) were statistically significant (1.4 for male versus 0.69 for female; p < 0.001). For crashes, crime, and economic development, perceptions about bicycle infrastructure were different in this developing nation perhaps because policy, institutional context, and policing (ticketing for unlawful parking) are not the same as in a developed nation. Countries such as Mexico should consider building cycle tracks with solid barriers to address safety, crime, and economic development.
