In the selected localities, there are two morphological ways of constructing this type of sentence: using the morphological marker al before the verb (or between the verb and the auxiliary) or not using it. First, we identify the phonological patterns that exist in these localities. Then, we analyse intergenerational variation, according to the five different phonological patterns found. Finally, we study the geo-prosodic variation which exists between older and younger people from these localities. Keywords: linguistic corpus, Basque language, prosody, socio-prosodic variation, geo-prosodic variation. RESUMEN El artículo trata la variación entonacional entre dos generaciones en tres localidades distintas situadas en el centro del espacio lingüístico vasco en frases interro-gativas absolutas con datos del EDAK (Corpus dialectal oral del euskera). -

Africa 2016 Latin America 2016 Latin America 2015-2016
In 2016 a large catch-up* in infrastructure investments is being confirmed by several Latin American countries, driven by the knowledge that economic growth relies heavily on quality infrastructure. The transport sector is going to firmly benefit from the expected increase in public and private funds. The continent being one of the most urbanized regions in the world, a large focus goes into urban rail projects: Mexico, Guatemala, Paraguay, Colombia, Chile, Brazil… are planning new projects for metro, light rail, high speed rail, monorail and passenger trains. One country is clearly taking the lead: Argentina. Besides boosting its investment climate and PPP laws, Argentina made public the ambitious 8-year 14.187 m USD investment in Buenos Aires` commuter network. Related key projects are the city`s RER and tunneling of the Sarmiento line. The Latin America Passenger Rail Expansion Summit will bring together local and international stakeholders, government officials, operators, developers, architects, consultants and equipment plus solution providers to discuss the current rail sector. *300.000 m USD is what Latam should be investing annually, versus the 150.000 m USD spent annually on infrastructure in the previous 20 years. http://latinamerica.railexpansionsummit.com OUTLOOK SOME OF THE TO BE INVITED DELEGATES Argentina foresees 14187 m USD ANPTrilhos INCOFER, Costa Rica Ministerio de Transporte y Comunicaciones, Peru 14187 investment in AFE Uruguay VLT Carioca Consortium Directorio de Transporte Público Metropolitano, Chile suburban network.

Innovative Techniques in Planning and Finance of Public Transportation Projects: Lessons Learned and its Applications Ildefonso Burgos-Gil, PE, MCE General Manager for Mass Transit Development, Puerto Rico Highway and Transportation Authority, San Juan, PR, USA, [email protected] Abstract The International Transit Studies Program (ITSP) conducts two study missions each year to provide transit managers from across the United States the opportunity to examine public transportation practices in other countries and regions, with the goal of encouraging innovation domestically. The program is sponsored by the Transit Cooperative Research Program (TCRP), funded by the Federal Transit Administration, and managed by the Eno Transportation Foundation. The subject for the 2005 Fall Study Mission was Innovative Techniques in Planning and Finance of Public Transportation Projects. The mission studied systems in Barcelona, Spain; Copenhagen, Denmark; Shanghai, China; and Osaka, Japan. As a participant, the author had the opportunity to meet with the managers for the different systems and learn and document the experience. This paper presents a more detailed insight on the author’s assigned studied systems in Barcelona, the way it has been integrated to become an effective transit system, its financial model, the lessons learned and its possible applications in Puerto Rico and elsewhere. Keywords integration, transit, planning, finance, public private partnership 1.

2 Transporte Metroferroviário No Brasil
SÉRIE CADERNOS TÉCNICOS volume 2 Transporte metroferroviário no Brasil SITUAÇÃO E PERSPECTIVAS julho/2005 CASA DA MOBILIDADE CIDADÃ APRESENTAÇÃO Dando prosseguimento à publicação de cadernos técnicos, estabelecida no Convênio ANTP- BNDES, assinado em 2002, este caderno é o segundo da série e tem por finalidade apresentar temas de relevância à comunidade metroferroviária, integrada por empresas operadoras de transporte de passageiros sobre trilhos em áreas urbanas, fornecedores de equipamentos e serviços, empreiteiras de construção civil, empreendedores diversos e governos. Na primeira parte do caderno é apresentado o perfil atual do setor metroferroviário no Brasil e um quadro retratando as oportunidades de negócios que este setor oferece para os empreendedores públicos e privados. O caderno apresenta, ainda, artigos sobre temas que são objeto de estudo por grupos de trabalho da Comissão Metroferroviária da ANTP, destacando-se: • A integração entre os diversos modais de transporte de passageiros nas áreas urbanas. • A ampliação do acesso de camadas da sociedade que, até há pouco tempo, estavam marginalizadas nos sistemas de transporte. • O desenvolvimento tecnológico do setor como indutor do aprimoramento do serviço prestado ao público e como fator de redução de custos. • A utilização e os custos do consumo de energia elétrica nos diversos sistemas metroferroviários. • A forma como as operadoras de transporte administram seus ativos e as tendências mundiais. • A gestão dos riscos nos sistemas metroferroviários consideradas suas perspectivas
