Profit distribution plays an important role in the sustainable and stable development of liner alliances, this paper tries to solve the profit distribution issues in the liner alliance based on Shapley Value Method. Meanwhile, seeing that there is little consideration from the customer satisfaction, this paper establishes a new model by revising Shapley Value Method to distribute the profit of liner alliances from the perspectives of suppliers and customers and carry out verification through case analysis. The profit distribution method proposed in the paper is helpful to the reasonable profit distribution of liner alliance. It ensures the continuity and stability of liner alliance and provides a scientific decision-making basis for the profit distribution of liner alliance.

Although earth block construction (EB) is supported by numerous scientific works, there is a lack of confidence in its constructive viability, aggravated by the lack of specific technical training. In view of this uncertainty, which is widespread in Spain, it is necessary to provide well-founded technical responses. This article, considering these aspects, presents the design and validation of a tool to assess the constructive viability of EB. For this purpose, 29 case studies are chosen in Spain, which establish the constructive use determinations and indicators to assess a degree of technical suitability. This parameter, as a result of the proposed tool, acts as a support for decision-making, the improvement of the design and, the efficiency of the solutions that use EB. It concludes by validating the tool, demonstrating its reliability and adaptability to any situation. Finally, the case analysis shows how the quality of the product combined with adverse external conditions, even with correct construction designs, defines a common situation where the degree of suitability of the solution is reduced. Therefore, it is also necessary to demand products with guarantees and prescriptions that ensure and offer sufficient technical safety.

That the amount and nature of the information reaching the president matters for the choices he makes is hardly disputed, but translating this insight into analysis has been slow work. This is true especially in comparison to other subfields (e.g., legislative studies), which in making use of the new institu- tionalism have stressed information by highlighting the roles institutions play in ameliorating the uncertainty rampant in political decision making. Daniel Ponder's new book, then, is particularly welcome. Good Advice asks some critical ques- tions: What did the president know, and how did he come to know it? Equally important, how did that matter?
