Introduction: Steel foundries are significant pollution sites with manual molding and demolding processes, therefore technology has moved on to molding using self-fragrance resins. In this paper, the Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) methodology is applied to evaluate the environmental impacts in a foundry process subject to this technological investment. Objetive: To evaluate the environmental impact of a technological proposal in the molding stage in a steel foundry. Materials and Methods: The input and output flows of the mixtures of sand, gases and solid waste in the traditional molding and chemical molding processes for the production of one ton of steel, as a functional unit, were evaluated and inventoried. SimaPro 8.0 software was used to obtain LCA results. Results and discussion: The results demonstrate the economic and environmental feasibility of chemical molding. In the analysis, it was verified that the return sand is the raw material with the greatest benefit to the impact categories, favoring from climate change to human health and limiting the formation of particles that affect health, ecosystems and natural resources. Conclusions: The LCA methodology quantifies the environmental impacts of steel production and justifies the economic-environmental feasibility of chemical molding, verifying that the return sand is the raw material with the greatest contribution to the impact categories and, as an avoided product that is recycled, favors in the new technology the environmental and damage categories.

As part of a set of urban renewal policies in strategic areas of the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires, in 2008 the Technological District was created; which is located in Commune 4, a south-peripheral area, historically dismissed by capital investments and by the State. This paper aims at analysing the territorial effects of the Technological District in the valorisation of the real estate market and the changes in land use. From a multi-scalar approach, it focuses in the micro-territorial scale, from the exploration of four different zones within the area of the Technological District. The qualitative-quantitative methodology was based on the analysis of the sale offers of land, apartments, storefronts and offices in the Technology District, and the changes in land use, between 2006 and 2017. The results reveal that there is an accelerated real estate and land valorisation in the Technological District in comparison with other areas in the City. However, the renewal is selective in the territory. This tends to reinforce pre-existing and unequal patterns of appreciation among the different areas of the District, which allows to qualify the "success" of the policy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The objective of this paper is to establish what are the critical factors for the spatial design of distribution centers, specially inmotic storage ships. To do so, the principles of the adjusted general methodology (MGA) were used along with the implementation of experimental design (DOE) in the context of a faucet production company in Bogotá, Colombia. The MGA methodology lays its foundations in the application to industrial real estate projects, in a supply network scheme. Furthermore, DOE is used as a way of obtaining an optimal alternative which satisfies the expectations of the company and its clients from an economic and statistical point of view. The results show that the storage capacity of the centralized distribution center is the most significant factor in the design stage, being an essential factor for rationalizing investment in working capital and for maximizing the benefits of the company.

This paper describes in a general way the measures that have been developed to inhibit the placement of investments or capital in preferential tax regimes. These measures are fiscal transparency rules and information exchange agreements between tax authorities, which have been developed for decades with the aim of combating international tax evasion; however, they have not been able to satisfactorily fulfill their purpose. Given this scenario, some proposals by the economist Gabriel Zucman are described to reach a definitive solution: trade sanctions, a global financial record and the establishment of a global capital tax.
