Abstract: Parmi les familles de la Guinée côtière qui ont été profondément impliqués dans le commerce des esclaves et qui passeront au commerce légitime au cours du XIXe siècle, la famille Lightbourn de Farenya dans le Haut Rio Pongo a obtenu un taux de réussite et d'intégration qui était inhabituel chez EurAfricans. L'histoire de cette famille et de ses fondateurs - dont l'un a vécu pendant près d'un siècle - et leur famille et leurs relations d'affaires en Afrique de l'Ouest, Caroline du Sud, aux îles du Cap-Vert, Cuba, et les Bermudes, souligne la complexité de commerce dans le monde atlantique centrée sur et le long des côtes américaines et africaines. Elle démontre que, bien que des initiatives européennes pourraient avoir été des catalyseurs nécessaires pour le changement, la vitesse de la transition vers une nouvelle et différente commerce et le degré de conformité à ces initiatives a été décidé par des personnes et des familles résidant sur la côte africaine. La famille Lightbourn a relié des systèmes qui impliquaient un commerce caravanier dominé par des Mande et Fula, avec l'exportation et le commerce entre l'Afrique, l'Europe et les Amériques, et avec un commerce intermédiaire sur la côte africaine. C'était ce rôle qui a permis à ces systèmes d'interagir et de s'épanouir. Dans ce cas, on en sait plus sur la partie africaine du partenariat Lightbourn que sur le côté américain. L'histoire de la famille Lightbourn illustre également le caractère transnational des unités familiales car ils « ont profité des similitudes » (Gundaker, 125) et parce que ces étrangers récemment arrivées en Afrique ont également évolué, et de marchands d'esclaves aux commerçants légitimes dans un contexte mondial. Among families of coastal Guinea that were deeply involved in slave trading and that transitioned to legitimate commerce during the nineteenth century, the Lightbourn family of Farenya in the Upper Rio Pongo obtained a level of success and integration that was unusual among EurAfricans. The history of this family and of its founders -- one of whom lived for nearly a century -- and their family and business connections in West Africa, South Carolina, Cape Verde Islands, Cuba, and Bermuda, underscores the complexity of commerce in the Atlantic-centered world and along the American and African coasts. It demonstrates that, although European initiatives may have been necessary catalysts for change, the speed of transition to a new and different commerce and the degree of compliance to those initiatives was decided by persons and families residing on the African coast. The Lightbourns bridged differences between systems that involved Mande and Fula dominated caravan commerce between Africa's interior and the coast, shipping and marketing commerce between Africa, Europe, and the Americas, and an intermediate commerce on the African coast that allowed those systems to interact and flourish. In this case, more is known about the African side of the Lightbourn partnership than about the American side. Lightbourn history also illustrates the transnational character of family units as they "made the most of similarities" (Gundaker, 125) and adjusted from outsiders to newcomers in the African context and from slave traders to legitimate traders in the global context.

Full textAbstract:
Warehouse has an important role in supply chain management and has many complex activities that require special attention. This study aims to improve warehouse efficiency performance. Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) method is employed to obtain the level of efficiency and benchmarking on five indicators, namely financial, productivity, utilization, quality, and cycle time along with five business processes in warehousing, i.e. receiving, put away, storage, order picking, and shipping. The decision making unit is a warehouse in four retailers in Yogyakarta province, in Indonesia. The input and output variables are selected based on the highest priority weight using the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP). The most important variable for receiving is productivity (receipt per man-hour), variable for put away is cycle time (put away cycle time), variable for storage is utilization (% location and cube occupied), variable for order picking is cycle time (order picking cycle time) and variable for shipping is productivity (order prepared for shipment per man-hour). The research results show that the benchmarking model with DEA can be used to increase warehouse efficiency performance by up to 22% by increasing receiving and shipping productivity, increasing storage utilization and reducing cycle time at put away and order picking.

During the past few years product mechanical shock fragility analysis has become an accepted part of the product design cycle at Wang Laboratories, Inc. This analysis is used to insure that the product has sufficient strength to work in the user environment without problem, and to survive the shipping environment from Wang to the customer without requiring excessively expensive shipping packaging. In some cases it is possible to make relatively inexpensive changes in the product which increase the mechanical shock resistance of that product. The cost of these changes is weighed against the cost of the amount of cushioning and related recurring costs needed in the shipping package to provide protection for the lower shock level the unmodified product is capable of withstanding. If the cost of product modification is lower than the cost of the increased package materials, freight and storage (increased cube), the modification is made to the product. A brief background of shock testing products is given, with particular attention to the use of ASTM D 3332. This process is presented as a specific case study on a recently developed CRT monitor.

As a part of the Canada’s Ocean Protection Plan, Fisheries and Oceans Canada has joined the efforts to better understand and monitor the effects of anthropogenic noise on marine environmental quality. Since 2017, underwater acoustic observatories were put in place across endangered whale habitats leading to the acquisition of big underwater acoustic dataset to process and analyze. In the Estuary and Gulf of St. Lawrence, underwater noise has been continuously monitored at 13 locations (6 to 10 simultaneously) between 2018 and 2023 at sampling rate up to 256 ksps in order to better understand the effect of shipping noise on marine environmental quality of the endangered St. Lawrence estuary beluga habitat. In this presentation, the data analysis pipeline from in situ sampling to processing is detailed, including recording schemes, data quality and control, soundscape cube, source separation, multi-scale statistics on noise levels and risk of impacts on habitat quality and visualization. These steps are used to identify, characterize and quantify daily to interannual spectral variability of underwater noise and their relationship with local environmental forcings such as shipping, wind, ice, tides, and currents at targeted locations. Ultimately, these results are used to provide support to (1) marine conservation and spatial planning initiatives from DFO and the Saguenay St. Lawrence Marine Parc; and (2) assess the predictability power of the outputs of soundscape modeling.

Abstract The angular response setup of PMOD/WRC was modified to facilitate measurements of the narrow field of view of radiometers for direct solar irradiance. First, The pointing of the JTSIM-DARA radiometer was measured four times during its construction in the optic laboratory of PMOD/WRC. The final offset of the pointing before shipping relative to the optical axis, defined by a removable alignment cube, is 1.07° / 0.67° (β/γ-axis) for the four-quadrant sensor and 0.095°/-0.017° for the radiometer cavity A. Next to JTSIM-DARA the DARA for the occulter of the satellite Proba-3 was characterised at PMOD/WRC. First tests of the pointing have been carried out and the final pointing characterization will be carried out in summer 2021. Finally, the angular response setup was also used the angular responsivity of solar direct irradiance filter radiometers. The first test was carried out using Precision Filter Radiometer (PFR) F-064.

Warehouse performance measurement is needed to improve performance of logistics system. In order to improve warehouse performance, it is necessary to identify Key Performance Indicator (KPI). Different warehouses have different KPI, therefore this research aims to identify the most important KPI of warehouse so that warehouse manager can determine corrective actions in their warehouse efficiently and effectively. In this research, 25 KPI of warehouse are identified in five warehouse activities based on Frazelle model. The most important KPI are then determined in each warehouse activity using Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP). Warehouse performance are measured and final score is determined using SNORM. Improvement steps are proposed base on benchmarking among warehouses. Warehouse performance measurement is conducted in 5 construction’s material warehouses located in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. From this study, it is found that most important KPI for receiving is productivity (receive per man-hour), KPI for put away is cycle time (put away cycle time), KPI for storage is utilization (% location and cube occupied), KPI for order picking is cycle time (order picking cycle time) and KPI for shipping is productivity (order prepared for shipment per man-hour). Improving warehouse performance could be done by comparing warehouse performance with the best performance among peer group.

Full textAbstract:
Buildings are the largest consumers of energy, accounting for nearly 40% of all energy used. Therefore, an effective method of reducing energy consumption is to create and design more efficient buildings. In this paper details of a sustainable and green building design for a small residential home are presented. This design is unique in that it is built to Passive house standards, and using shipping containers. The structure will use four 20 ft. (6.1 m) high and one 40 ft. (12.2 m) high cube containers, with the four 20 ft. (6.1 m) making up the main floor and the 40 ft. (12.2 m) forming the second floor. The size is a modest 820 sq. ft. (76.2 m2) designed for a family with one or two children. The goal for the building is to be as self-sufficient as possible which makes it ideally suited to an ‘off-grid’ rural setting. However, it can be adapted to be ‘on-grid’ as well. Solar energy will provide all the electricity needs through a photovoltaic battery system, and warm water with a solar water heater. The site will be water neutral by utilising rainwater harvesting and on site waste water treatment. The results from energy modelling, using HOT2000, are presented, as well as an in-depth analysis on different insulation types and strategies. Finally, a cost estimate exercise is conducted and results compared to other passive houses and traditional code compliance buildings.

"Potential out-of-pocket savings from hematology/oncology drugs for commercially insured patients via Mark Cuban Cost Plus Drug Company." JCO Oncology Practice 19, no. 11_suppl (November 2023): 22. http://dx.doi.org/10.1200/op.2023.19.11_suppl.22.
Full textAbstract:
22 Background: Prescription drug out-of-pocket (OOP) costs remain a major source of financial toxicity in hematology/oncology (heme/onc). Mark Cuban Cost Plus Drug Company (MCCPDC) sells generic drugs directly to patients, bypassing insurance. The purchase cost is equal to drug cost (manufacturing cost, 15% markup, $3 pharmacy fee) and $5 shipping fee. Research shows MCCPDC provides potential savings for Medicare beneficiaries, but its benefit for the commercially insured remains unknown. We assess OOP savings if the eight MCCPDC drugs with heme/onc indications were purchased directly from MCCPDC instead of commercial insurance. Methods: MCCPDC purchase costs were matched with equivalent drugs claims in IBM Marketscan (2021) based on name, strength, formulation, and amount dispensed, using claims with the most frequent days’ supply. Potential OOP savings were calculated by subtracting insurance claim OOP costs (copay + coinsurance + deductible) from MCCPDC purchase cost. Outcomes included % claims with cost savings and amount saved. Savings were calculated for brand-name drugs for which a MCCPDC generic may often be appropriately substituted. Results: Of 145,403 claims, 6.8-24.5% of generic antineoplastics approved post-1990 in MCCPDC and 26% of deferasirox claims would have OOP savings if purchased through MCCPDC, with median savings $63-$561 (Table). 14.8% of brand-name 2nd generation antiandrogen claims would save switching to abiraterone, with median (IQR) saving of $1045 (345, 2010). 43.2% of brand-name 1st/2nd generation BCR/ABL tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) claims would save switching to imatinib, with median (IQR) saving of $116 (31, 1286). The share of newer generic antineoplastic claims with savings varied by insurance: high deductible health plan (HDHP) (28.1%), health maintenance organization (HMO) (23.5%), and preferred provider organization (PPO) (13.2%) (p<0.001). Conclusions: Some patients can save hundreds or thousands of dollars per fill by purchasing heme/onc drugs through MCCPDC instead of commercial insurance, with greater savings for HDHP/HMO and from brand-name antineoplastics to appropriately substitutable generics. MCCPDC is a new avenue to decrease financial toxicity. [Table: see text]

Full textAbstract:
Aquatic invasive species (AIS) are biological pollutants that cause detrimental ecological, economic, and sociological effects on non-native communities. With increasing globalization through maritime trade, coastal ports are vulnerable to AIS introductions transported by commercial vessels. As Cuba’s Port Mariel becomes a competitive transshipment hub within the Caribbean, it is essential to identify the potential threat that AIS may pose with a likely increase in shipping activity. It is equally important to understand the status of established AIS in Cuba and control measures presently being implemented by the country. This information can provide guidance for establishing or improving Cuban AIS preventative and remedial actions. For this study, publically accessible information was used to conduct threat assessments of present and potential AIS in Cuba and to identify feasible international donors of AIS due to trade with Port Mariel. Fifteen species were identified as established Cuban AIS, eight of which were associated with harmful impacts to the environment, economy, and human health. Only one established AIS, Perna viridis (the Asian green mussel), was recorded as having repeated, negative influences in Cuba. Regional trade partners of Port Mariel were identified as the most likely donors of AIS due to ecological similarity and minimal voyage duration between countries. These trade partners also represented the busiest ports and transshipment hubs in the wider Caribbean region and, therefore, could expose Port Mariel to ‘stepping-stone’ invasions. Five species associated with international trade partners were identified as potentially detrimental to Cuba if introduced into Port Mariel. There were no significant differences between the salinity and temperature tolerances of the AIS already established in Cuba and the possible AIS of concern, suggesting that these potential invaders could survive the environmental conditions of Port Mariel and subsequently become established throughout Cuba. The results presented herein are a preliminary assessment of AIS threats in Cuba and emphasize the importance of prioritizing AIS prevention and management. This study also establishes a baseline inventory of potential AIS in Cuba and a methodology that can be followed for future analyses outside of the study region.

Abstract Manuel’s shipping agency thrives during the 1930s, due in large part to the policies of Franklin D. Roosevelt and Spain’s Second Republic. Nevertheless, Spaniards like Manuel see such left-leaning governments as a threat to order and tradition. He and his partner, Marcelino Garcia, collaborate with the fascist-inspired Falange Party and do what they can to assist General Francisco Franco’s Nationalist coup. As international shipping agents they are able to open up far-flung information and supply networks for the rebels, pressure diplomats and leaders along vital trade routes, and throw up legal roadblocks against the loyalists in the United States, Mexico, Cuba, and elsewhere. The contest over ships during the Spanish Civil War helps to prepare Manuel for future battles in the Atlantic.

Havana, Cuba was an active smuggling port, with a long history of shipping. European distillers shipped large amounts of their products to Havana, knowing it would likely be smuggled into the United States. Liquor wholesalers provided a wide variety of liquors to smugglers and facilitated the production of forged customs documents that allowed smuggling ships to depart with illegal cargoes of liquor. Smuggling networks landed these cargoes on southern beaches, either to supply local liquor markets or to transport to markets via road or rail to markets in midwestern or northeastern cities.
