EDUCAÇÃO, GÊNERO E MÉMORIA HISTÓRICA: JEAN-BAPTISTE DEBRET E A CIVILIZAÇÃO DO BRASIL.
Authors: Costa Marta de Oliveira , Rabelo Josiane Oliveira , Feldens Dinamara Garcia
Published: October 2016

Este trabalho tem como objetivo entender a crescente importância dada a educação no início do período imperial, determinando como marco teórico no período de permanecia do artista francês Jean-Baptiste Debret e os primeiros anos do império. Como forma investigativa utilizaremos a obra intitulada “Uma Senhora Brasileira em seu lar” (1823). Tentaremos dessa maneira entender as relações de poder instaurado com a instrução feminina e a conquista da diferenciação social, por meio dela. Assim potencializar a introdução de temas que envolvam o gênero feminino. A obra será usada como registro memorial. As conclusões aqui encontradas servem com base para outros problemas que envolvam o tema.
QUESTÕES CURRICULARES EM EDUCAÇÃO FÍSICA: PCN’S E O CONCEITO DE CULTURA CORPORAL DE MOVIMENTO
Authors: Fernandes Mayara Oliveira , Guedes Fabiana de Lima
Published: October 2016

Os documentos oficiais se preocupam com a execução do trabalho profissional em Educação Física e oferecem uma orientação aos profissionais da área. O currículo multicultural se preocupa com o processo e a forma de produção cultural de diferentes regiões e culturas. O presente trabalho tem por objetivo explorar os documentos oficiais e problematizar o termo cultura corporal de movimento (CCM) na Educação Física. Parte-se de uma abordagem bibliográfica de cunho exploratório e reflexivo. Nas questões curriculares, fica evidente que alguns temas são abordados em detrimento de outros. A CCM aparece somente na licenciatura, e parece praticamente deixada de lado como elemento curricular nos cursos de bacharelado. A tendência atual de atuação na EF volta-se para a necessidade de um currículo multicultural. Ir a campo para investigar as relações existentes entre o documento oficial e as ações na prática se faz necessário.
UMA UTOPIA IRREALIZÁVEL? O DEBATE SOBRE A EDUCAÇÃO INCLUSIVA NA ALEMANHA
Authors: Castro Zambrano Romana
Published: October 2016

Em 2008, com a ratificação da Convenção sobre os Direitos das Pessoas com Deficiência da ONU, a Alemanha se comprometeu a estabelecer um sistema educacional inclusivo. Essa decisão política causou um debate polêmico na mídia alemã que continua até hoje. Nesse debate, notam-se diversas conceitualizações da educação inclusiva que, por um lado, refletem a opinião da sociedade e, por outro, influenciam a percepção social da educação inclusiva. O presente estudo propõe uma análise dessas conceitualizações com base na Análise Crítica do Discurso (ACD) e na Linguística Cognitiva (LC). Com isso, visa-se a apontar para algumas problemáticas socioculturais na realização da educação inclusiva.
Beyers NaudÃ©: South Africaâ€™s Bonhoeffer? Celebrating the centenary of the birth of Beyers NaudÃ© â€“ 1915-2015
Authors: De Gruchy John
Published: October 2016

When Dietrich Bonhoefferâ€™s friend and biographer Eberhard Bethge visited South Africa in 1973, he commented that Beyers NaudÃ© was South Africaâ€™s Bonhoeffer. In this essay I explore what Bethge meant and whether it is a description that helps us understand NaudÃ©â€™s legacy better. I do this in three parts. Firstly I offer a biographical comparison Bonhoeffer and NaudÃ©. Secondly I suggest why Bethgeâ€™s comment was a carefully considered opinion formed over at least ten years. Thirdly I show that Bethgeâ€™s interest in NaudÃ© and the church struggle in South Africa continued long after his visit to South Africa. I conclude that whatever their similarities and differences they became models of a new style of being Christian in the world. What unites them as human beings and Christians is their integrity in word and action, confession and resistance.
The liturgy and order of the mid-sixteenth century English Church in Geneva
Authors: Jackson RS
Published: October 2016

The mid-sixteenth century English church in Geneva is one of the few refugee churches at this period to have been free of dispute and discord. While its origins in Frankfurt, the absence of Lutheran hostility and the protection provided by Calvin and the local Reformed church may all be counted as reasons for its peaceable nature, it is suggested here that this also has much to do with the Order and Liturgy of the church which emphasised practicality, participation and community. The church was also one where many of its members had work to do: both as artisans and merchants as well as work of a literary nature, the greatest achievement of which was the production of the Geneva bible. Activity was undoubtedly also a factor in protecting the church from internal disputation.

The social production of sacred space in urban Oslo
Authors: Enstedt Daniel
Published: October 2016

This article examines two recent expressions of religion in the multi-religious setting of the Norwegian capital Oslo. The Muslim group Ansar al-Sunnah’s claim of the district Grønland is scrutinized in relation to the public and cultural image of Islam in Norway, and a Christian response to the contemporary multi-religious context is examined via an analysis of the priest Gyrid Gunnes’ performance at The National Exhibition of the Visual Arts in Oslo. These cases are further discussed in relation to spatial theories and theologically embedded questions about ecclesiology and eschatology. This article shows that Ansar al-Sunnah stages an image of Islam that is produced in a cultural Islamophobic discourse, while Gunnes’ performance problematizes taken-for-granted notions about God, the church and what it means to be a Christian. The prevailing, dominant and culturally embedded ideas of what it means to be a Christian or a Muslim are being challenged in Gunnes’ performance through the use of queer theory and apophatic theology.
Urban theology endeavours and a theological vision of hope and justice for post-apartheid South African cities
Authors: James Geneviève
Published: October 2016

Twenty one years since the dawn of democracy in South Africa, the cities of the nation appear to be in a downward spiral of injustice and callousness. This article considers the transformative significance of urban theology. Beginning with a description of the author’s insertion into the administrative capital of South Africa the article proceeds to chart out urban theology as a “God and Bible”, “contextual”, “intellectual” and “activist” endeavour. It then illuminates the vision of the New Jerusalem as described in the Old Testament in Isaiah 65:17-24 juxtaposing it with the context of South African cities today. This ancient urban vision will serve as a theological mandate for urban transformation.
African urbanims: Reinterpreting the marks of the church
Authors: Naudé Piet
Published: October 2016

This essay presents a broad analysis of African “cityness” and brings this analysis in relation to an ecumenical interpretation of the marks of the church. The aim is to construct an “urban ecclesiology” where the realities of African cities influence our understanding of the church, and where – in turn – the marks of the church provides some pointers to a life of community, justice and fulfilment in the city.
Reading the Bible through the ages?Historical and hermeneutical perspectives
Authors: Smit Dirkie
Published: October 2016

In this contribution the seemingly straightforward slogan espoused by Biblica, namely, “Transforming lives through God’s Word” is complicated by placing it within the context of the rich, multi-layered and complex history of Bible-reading. Fully aware that it is an impossible task to construe the history of the reading of the Bible, offers a few broad strokes describing Biblical reception and interpretation, beginning with the complex genesis of the Bible, extending through the Early Church, the Middle Ages, The Renaissance and Reformation, the time of Enlightenment and rise of Modernity, the emergence of ecumenical hermeneutics in the 20th century, and the contemporary conflicts in hermeneutic perspectives. Throughout the essay, the question is asked – in various ways and with different responses – what “Transforming lives through God’s Word” could mean.
The limited public good of a confession. A public theological reflection on enhancing the (public) good of the Belhar Confession in the Reformed Church family of South Africa
Authors: Brunsdon AR
Published: October 2016

Public theology takes on many forms, generally seeking some public good by interpreting Scripture, trying to reveal the social relevance of the theological truth concerned. In this framework the Belhar Confession can arguably be deemed a public theological tour de force as it spoke out against, amongst others, social injustices based on wrongful Biblical exegesis. Speaking to different “publics” over the last three decades, the good resulting from this confession, ironically, seems extremely limited – especially in the Reformed Church family (public) of its native land, South Africa. It would even be safe to allege that this confession has had a polarizing effect, rather than a unifying one. As public theology is regarded as an intra-disciplinary venture, this article will reflect critically on the limited good of this confession and will ponder the notion of enhancing its good as a form of public theology by means of a public-theological reflection. It is suspected that several possibilities reside within a public-theological reading whereby the good this confession is capable of can be enhanced.
Where have all the prophets gone? Perspectives on political preaching
Authors: Cilliers Johan
Published: October 2016

This article takes a brief look at the notions of voice, event, and experience within the communal paradigm of South African societies. This is followed by a description of different ways in which political and eschatological preaching has been understood within recent times, starting with the reverted eschatology of apartheid sermons, linked to the experience of fear; then the hopeful eschatology of Desmond Tutu’s sermons, evoking experiences of anticipation; and concluding with what could be called the present day vacuum in this regard: preaching that strives to maintain by means of introverted eschatology, contributing to experiences of uncertainty.
Who do you want: Barabbas or Jesus?Power and empowerment in theological education
Authors: Hendriks H Jurgens
Published: October 2016

The article deals with theological education and leadership and questions the way power and empowerment functions in the church. It argues that theologically we follow the Barabbas choice and reject Jesus by not choosing the way of the cross and weakness. Our true identity needs to be, in following Philippians 2 and other passages, cruciform kenotic. The implications of such an identity for theological education and leadership are then put forward.

Estado del conocimiento y prioridades de investigación sobre las familias Canidae, Mephitidae y Procyonidae (Mammalia: Carnivora) en Colombia
Authors: Andrade Ponce Gabriel Patricio , Montaño-Salazar Sandra Milena , Riveros-Loaiza Luis Miguel , Ramírez-Cháves Héctor E. , Suárez-Castro Andrés Felipe
Published: October 2016

A pesar de la gran diversidad de ecosistemas que habitan y de su importancia económica‚ ecológica y cultural‚ la información sobre las especies del orden Carnivora es escasa en Colombia. Con el fin de ejemplificar los sesgos y los avances en el conocimiento que se tiene sobre tres de las familias de Carnivora (Canidae, Mephitidae y Procyonidae) en el país, se evaluó el estado de la investigación sobre ellas con base en el número de publicaciones dedicadas a cada especie. Además, se estableció una escala de prioridades según el estado de amenaza y el esfuerzo de investigación de cada familia. Se encontraron 78 estudios sobre las tres familias y se constató que existen grandes vacíos relacionados con la ecología y la historia natural de la mayoría de las especies evaluadas, aun cuando el 80 % de ellas se registraron por primera vez a nivel nacional hace más de 60 años. La mayoría de los estudios relacionados con la distribución y los registros correspondió a la familia Procyonidae, en tanto que la mayor parte de los estudios ecológicos se registró en torno a la familia Canidae, específicamente sobre la especie Cerdocyon thous. Aunque la prioridad más alta correspondió a Bassaricyon neblina, la mayoría de los estudios sobre las demás especies correspondió a evaluaciones locales en escalas temporales y espaciales pequeñas. El presente estudio muestra que la asignación de algunas especies a las diferentes categorías de amenaza se ha basado en supuestos erróneos que no han sido verificados en campo. Además, la presunta ausencia de ciertas especies en algunas provincias biogeográficas es señal de la existencia de grandes vacíos de información. Esta revisión sirve como marco de referencia para priorizar las investigaciones sobre los patrones de distribución y el estado de amenaza de las especies de estas familias en el país. © 2016. Acad.

Metamateriales: principales características y aplicaciones
Authors: Castellanos Luis M. , Lopez Francisco , Reyes - Vera Erick
Published: October 2016

Las propiedades electromagnéticas de todos los materiales existentes en la naturaleza pueden ser determinadas a partir dos parámetros: la permeabilidad magnética µ y la permitividad eléctrica ε. Estos dos parámetros caracterizan la respuesta del material cuando interactúa con la radiación electromagnética. En principio, no existe límite alguno para el rango de valores posibles que pueden tomar µ y ε, por lo cual podemos pensar en diseñar y construir a voluntad materiales con características de respuesta electromagnética especificas (es decir µ y ε) no encontradas en la naturaleza. Estos materiales fabricados en el laboratorio reciben el nombre genérico de metamateriales, y entre ellos se encuentran los conocidos por sus siglas en ingles LHM (Left Handed Materials), así llamados porque los vectores de campo , de las Ondas Electromagnéticas que viajan en su interior están relacionados por la regla de la mano izquierda. La característica distintiva de los LHM es que para ciertas bandas de frecuencia presentan índice de refracción negativo ( ) con modos propagativos posibles solamente si ambos parámetros µ y ε, dentro de dichas bandas de frecuencias son negativos. El propósito de este trabajo es presentar los principios y fundamentos de estos metamateriales de manera que despierte el interés de lectores no especializados. © 2016. Acad. Colomb. Cienc. Ex. Fis.

Study and characterization of the micellar phase of the polyethylene glycol 40 stearate, water, and soy lecithin system
Authors: Díaz-Lagos Mercedes , Montalvo-García Gemma , Valiente-Martínez Mercedes , Martínez-Ovalle Segundo Agustín
Published: October 2016

Los polímeros hidrofóbicamente modificados (PHM) han adquirido una gran importancia como modificadores de comportamiento reológico, agentes espesantes en una gran variedad de productos como son pinturas, alimentos, cosmética o medicamentos. Estos polímeros PHM tiene la capacidad de solubilizar moléculas hidrofóbicas al igual que los tensioactivos. Es decir, los PHM combinan las propiedades de los tensioactivos y de los polímeros. En este trabajo en general se estudiará la capacidad de los PHM de autoagregarse y comportarse como tensioactivos. Se presenta el estudio de la fase micelar del sistema ternario lecitina de soja (lípido natural que se comporta como tensioactivo doblemente iónico)/ polietilenglicol 40 estearato (Acid S40P, no iónico)/agua. La caracterización se realiza mediante los métodos de tensión superficial, microscopia óptica y reología. De los resultados se deduce que se forman agregados micelares no esféricos que se orientan en la dirección del flujo bajo los esfuerzos de cizalla. Los ensayos de oscilación permitieron determinar que el modulo viscoso G´´ es superior al elástico G´, con un comportamiento descrito por el modelo de Maxwell de un elemento. © 2016.

Authors: Щеглов Евгений Вячеславович
Published: October 2016

Оценка и прогнозирование рыночной стоимости коммерческой недвижимости приобретает все большую актуальность в период развития конкурентной среды, роста числа заключенных сделок по купле-продажи недвижимости и кредитных сделок, предоставления недвижимости в качестве залога. В статье исследуется применение экономико-математических методов для оценки и прогнозирования рыночной стоимости коммерческой недвижимости в зависимости от показателей экономического развития территории, на которой расположен объект. С использованием корреляционного анализа проведена оценка взаимосвязи между рыночной стоимостью коммерческой недвижимости и показателями экономического развития, выявлены факторы, оказывающие сильное влияние на рыночную стоимость коммерческой недвижимости, на основе которых построены регрессионные уравнения. С помощью дисперсионного анализа выявлено, что наиболее точным является уравнение, описывающее взаимосвязь рыночной стоимости коммерческой недвижимости и инвестициями в основной капитал на душу населения, рыночной стоимостью жилой недвижимости. На основе регрессионной модели составлен прогноз рыночной стоимости коммерческой недвижимости на 2016-2019 гг.
Interdyscyplinarne dylematy granic starszego wieku – wstęp do rozważań nad wiekiem granicznym starszych konsumentów
Authors: Bałandynowicz-Panfil Katarzyna
Published: October 2016

W zakresie badań nad współczesnymi zmianami demograficznymi istnieje wiele dylematów metodologicznych. Jednym z nich jest zróżnicowanie progów wiekowych, przyjmowane w różnych dyscyplinach, jak również dziedzinach nauki. Przedmiotem rozważań w niniejszym opracowaniu jest analiza różnic podejść do granicy tzw. wieku senioralnego w ujęciu interdyscyplinarnym. Opracowanie ma stanowić odpowiedź na pytanie: kim jest, z chronologicznego punktu widzenia, osoba starsza dla ekonomistów, socjologów, demografów czy przedstawicieli nauk medycznych? Na podstawie studiów literaturowych, analizy porównawczej metodyki, publikowanych badań empirycznych, jak również w oparciu o praktykę rynkową podjęta zostanie próba określenia granicy wieku starszego w odniesieniu do badań nad zachowaniami nabywczymi osób starszych. Celem artykułu jest wykazanie braku spójności w podejściu do progu starości, zarówno w poszczególnych dyscyplinach, jak i w odniesieniu do węższego obszaru badawczego, jakim są starsi konsumenci. Obecny nurt jest bardzo zróżnicowany. Jako starszych konsumentów określa się osoby w wieku powyżej 50., 55., 60. czy 65. roku życia. Brak jest jednoznacznej podstawy w przyjmowaniu danej granicy (Bondos 2013: 31–36; UOKiK 2009; Bombol, Słaby 2011; Stroud, Walker 2013; Gunter 1998). Artykuł dowodzi, iż ujednolicenie podejścia w analizowanym aspekcie pozwoliłoby na większą dostępność badań porównawczych, danych statystycznych, a zatem bardziej dynamiczny rozwój nauki nad osobami starszymi jako konsumentami.
Wpływ zmian w strukturze pracujących na konwergencję kapitału ludzkiego w Polsce i Europie
Authors: Kusideł Ewa , Gajdos Artur
Published: October 2016

Głównym celem opracowania jest zbadanie zależności procesów konwergencji kapitału ludzkiego ze zmianami struktury pracujących według poziomu wykształcenia oraz w przekroju wielkich grup zawodowych w Polsce na poziomie wojewódzkim, jak również w krajach Unii Europejskiej. Jakość kapitału ludzkiego oraz jego przestrzenne zróżnicowanie stanowi główny element zainteresowania polityki kształcenia. Także ocena procesu przechodzenia do gospodarki opartej na wiedzy wymaga analizy danych wieloprzekrojowych, w tym przestrzennych. W opracowaniu podjęto próbę pogłębionej analizy problemu, zakładając, że poza poziomem wykształcenia, znaczącym czynnikiem różnicującym jakość kapitału ludzkiego w przekroju przestrzennym może być kierunek wykształcenia (zawód). W badaniu wykorzystano dane dotyczące struktury pracujących według poziomu wykształcenia oraz wielkich grup zawodowych, pochodzące z Badania Aktywności Ekonomicznej Ludności (Labour Force Survey). Specyfika źródła danych pozwala na ocenę specjalizacji (lokalizacji) siły roboczej oraz zmian tej specjalizacji w czasie. Łączna analiza zmian przestrzennych i strukturalnych przy wykorzystaniu metod przekrojowo-czasowej analizy danych daje możliwość wnioskowania o procesach zachodzących na krajowych i regionalnych rynkach pracy. Pogłębione analizy struktury zawodowej rynku pracy w przekroju przestrzennym stanowią ważny teoretycznie i praktycznie obszar badań niezbędny dla prowadzenia efektywnej polityki rynku pracy i systemu edukacji.
A negação da memória do trabalho no discurso do capital
Authors: Amaral Maria Virginia Borges
Published: October 2016

Este artigo apresenta uma análise do discurso do capital que intenta regular, ressignificar e silenciar a memória discursiva do trabalho. O sentido de trabalho historicamente sedimentado nos discursos das classes fundamentais desta sociedade é apropriado pelos representantes institucionais do capital para ser negado. Novas ideias são formuladas a partir de imagens valorativas que ofuscam os trabalhadores e os impedem de conhecer sua posição de sujeito, sua real identidade nas relações de trabalho, produzindo efeitos de desmemoriação. É isto que este texto pretende demonstrar.
How is Size Related to Profitability? Post-Consolidation Evidence from Selected Banks in Nigeria
Authors: Kolapo Funso , Ajayi Lawrence , Aluko Olufemi
Published: October 2016

It is theoretically believed that increase in firm size would result to increase in firm profitability. Therefore, this study examines the relationship between size and profitability of six banks in Nigeria after the 2005 consolidation exercise. The measure of profitability is return on assets. Employing the static panel data regression method, the study found that size has an insignificant negative relationship with bank profitability. This study concludes that the 2005 consolidation exercise did not enhance the profitability of the selected banks.
Spiderδ: an empirical method to extrapolate grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.) water status at the whole denomination scale using δ13C as ancillary data
Authors: Martínez-Vergara Axel , Payan Jean-Claude , Salançon Elian , Tisseyre Bruno
Published: October 2016

Aims: The aim of this study is to test a method to extrapolate vine water status (estimated by the water potential; Ψ) over a whole appellation (protected geographical indication). The spatial extrapolation is based on an empirical approach that combines a reference site (baseline measurements) and carbon isotope discrimination (δ13C) values as ancillary data (AD).

Methods and results: Experiments were conducted on the whole Tavel appellation (Gard, France). The study focused on the dominant variety: Grenache. Ψ was measured as predawn leaf water potential and was monitored over three consecutive years, 2008, 2009 and 2010, on 10, 24 and 24 sites, respectively. δ13C measurements were made at harvest in 2010 on the 24 sites. The spatial model (SPIDERδ) was calibrated using Ydata from 2009 and 2010 and δ13C data from 2010. The quality of prediction was tested on the 2008 data, considered as an independent data set. The results show that SPIDERδ was relevant in estimating Ψ at the whole appellation scale. The extrapolation model significantly improves the prediction (R² = 0.88) compared to a conventional method based on Ψ averages across the appellation (R² = 0.66).

Conclusion: Based on a single measurement taken at time «t» on a reference site, SPIDERδ makes it possible to estimate Ψ on all sites where a δ13C value is available. The use of AD like δ13C makes it possible to consider the spatial extrapolation of Ψ with higher spatial resolution than when only direct measurements are used to calibrate the model.

Significance and impact of the study: This work demonstrates the value of using an AD like δ13C to assess Ψ at a scale larger than the single field. This significant result opens the door to the practical use of spatial extrapolation models with higher spatial resolution.
MARTIN HEIDEGGER E A MÍSTICA MEDIEVAL. EM BUSCA DE UMA COMPREENSÃO FENOMENOLÓGICA
Authors: Santos Bento Silva
Published: October 2016

Resumo: O artigo comenta globalmente algumas anotações da Vorlesung não proferida – “Os Fundamentos Filosóficos da Mística Medieval” (1918-1919) – na tentativa ainda fragmentária de esboçar uma compreensão fenomenológica da experiência mística. Assim, destaco, primeiramente, as duas observações iniciais de Heidegger sobre o sentido ambíguo da formulação “fundamentos filosóficos da mística medieval” ora com base na história da filosofia (1), ora com base na abordagem fenomenológica. Em segundo lugar, optando pela mística medieval como expressão (Ausdruck) da religiosidade cristã, Heidegger estabelece uma dupla distinção: de um lado, a religiosidade se distingue tanto da filosofia da religião como da teologia; de outro lado, a separação entre o problema da teologia e problema da religiosidade cristã (2). Por fim, em função desta oposição problemática entre teologia escolástica e mística medieval, trato brevemente da permanência ambígua do esquema de pensamento da teologia cristã no Denkweg de Heidegger, que pressupõe inegavelmente suas origens católicas (3).Abstract: This article broadly discusses Heidegger’s notes for his undelivered Vorlesung - “The Philosophical Foundations of Medieval Mysticism” (1918-1919) - in a still fragmentary attempt to outline a phenomenological understanding of the mystical experience. In order to do so, I first highlight the two initial observations of Heidegger concerning the meaning of the ambiguous wording “philosophical foundations of medieval mysticism”, sometimes referring to the basis of mysticism in the history of philosophy (1), sometimes to its phenomenological approach. Second, I discuss Heidegger’s option to consider medieval mystic as expression (Ausdruck) of Christian religiousness. Thus, the author establishes a double distinction: on the one hand, religiousness distinguishes itself from both the philosophy of religion and theology, and on the other hand, the problem of theology is separated from that of Christian religiousness (2). Finally, in light of this problematic opposition between scholastic theology and medieval mysticism, I briefly deal with the ambiguous persistence of the model of thinking of the Christian theology in Heidegger’s Denkweg, that unmistakably presupposes his Catholic origins (3).

The growth of IT industry has been rapid compared to any other industry. It can generally be classified as IT Services, Engineering Services, ITeS-BPO Services and e-Business. IT Services include Information Services (IS) outsourcing, packaged software support and installation, systems integration, processing services, hardware support and installation and IT training and education. Leaders play a critical role in an organization in its success or failure. Successful organizations have leaders who are responsive to new opportunities and direct the enterprise to progressively execute key strategic imperatives. In the era of technological and dynamic world, leaders have to take up the challenges in the environment of the business and turn these radical and fundamental changes into competitive advantages of the organization. Leaders do things differently, that enhances the efficacy and performance of the organization. Turbulent environments require efficient managers to lead employees towards accomplishing business goals. Managers have different roles and responsibilities at each level of management within an organization. These roles and responsibilities require capabilities of professional maturity for managers. Hence, to find out the characteristics of leadership and group them in IT and Non-IT organizations.

Published: October 2016

Rev.esc.adm.negLa incertidumbre en los proyectos es usualmente un aspecto inevitable. Los gerentes de proyectos se previenen de ella gestionando oportunamente los riesgos conocidos en las fases previas a la ejecución del proyecto. Pese a estos esfuerzos, los riesgos no identificados o incontrolables pueden surgir durante la fase de ejecución del proyecto, lo cual afecta negativamente sus Indicadores Claves de Desempeño (ICD) y el objetivo propuesto. Bajo estas circunstancias, el gerente de proyecto es forzado a responder a los riesgos incontrolables o no identificados. Una revisión de la literatura actual sobre administración de proyectos, no proporciona ninguna orientación frente al tema. En este artículo se estudia el enfoque de la programación reactiva a través de un proyecto real, como un modo estructurado de afrontar y medir el efecto de los riesgos incontrolables o no identificados en un proyecto y mantener la consistencia de su línea base.

Nowadays, geological and simulation models are an essential tool used for design and support of oil and gas field development. At the same time, creation and application of models is technically complex and requires nontrivial approaches and solutions. This paper describes the experience of application of modeling for support of drilling and development optimization of one of the largest fields in Eastern Siberia.

A distinctive feature of the publication is a compilation of tools of geological and simulation modeling, including experience in dealing with applications for the period from the start of field development to the achievement of the maximum hydrocarbon production.

Approaches to creation and rapid response updating of geological and simulation models of a complex productive formation are described. These models incorporate a large number of different geophysical data and are used for a rapid response to field development and production drilling support.

The value of the work lies in the integration of a large set of geophysical and field data into a single geological and simulation model and its further effective use.

Published: October 2016

When drilling wells for hydrocarbon extraction, completing a specific interval of the well in the fastest time possible is a key requirement. One of the main contributing factors for improved performance is the drill bit.

It is well known in the drilling industry that the stress state of the formation around the bit and drilled well is significantly lowered once penetrated by the bit. Conventional single diameter polycrystalline diamond compact (PDC) drill bits are not capable of taking advantage of this reduced effective rock strength.

Dual-diameter bits address the identified challenges through the use of elegant physical principles and offer an efficient, reliable means of drilling. The concentric, dual-diameter design lowers the effective rock strength encountered by the critical shoulder-to-gauge area of the bit's cutting structure.

The smaller pilot section of the bit design drills a pilot hole, which reduces the confinement and thus strength of the rock drilled by the larger reamer section. The reamer section of the bit is able to utilize the bedded pilot bit for stabilization to offset the greater forces associated with larger diameter drilling. The offset blade configuration of the bits also offers 360-degree contact the borehole and helps deliver a gun barrel hole quality.

This paper introduces the development of a unique, two-stage, dual-diameter profile, and polycrystalline diamond compact drill bit for an application in Indonesia. Typically, multiple drill bits are required to finish the section, which consists of abrasive sandstone with some layers of coal. The objective was to improve the drilling performance while also minimizing non-productive time (NPT) for a bit trip.

The paper provides and in-depth evaluation of the bit performance over several field trials. The first bit was run in a motor assembly and improved 14% rate of penetration (ROP) with exceptional dull condition. The drilling parameters indicated that the bit generated higher ROP with lower weight on bit (WOB) compared to other bit types. This performance convinced the operator to run the dual-diameter PDC bit in a more challenging field where its remarkable performance achieved field records. In comparison to the closest offset well, dual-diameter drill bits replaced three-bit runs with 56% longer intervals drilled and improved overall ROP by 41%. In addition, rig time was reduced by 5.3 days. The operator was extremely pleased with the bit performance and decided to use a dual-diameter PDC bit as the primary option to drill this section in every field.

Around the globe, more emphasis is being placed on environmental sustainability and, as such, many organizations have started to embrace the idea of a paperless working environment, although it is still largely regarded as an idealistic dream. For this research study, the influence of a paperless working environment on the Master of the High Court (Master’s Office), in Cape Town, was investigated through the introduction of its Paperless Estate Administration System (PEAS) and its Paperless Estate Administration System for Trusts (PEAST). The main objective of this research study is to determine the influence of the PEAS and the PEAST on the holistic sustainability of the Master’s Office. A mixed methods approach was followed whereby both quantitative data and qualitative data were collected through means of disseminating questionnaires to employees based at the Master’s Office in Cape Town. Based on the findings made, the PEAS and the PEAST had a positive influence on the sustainability of the Master’s Office in Cape Town, as the time spent on and the expenditure incurred on administrative tasks decreased significantly. Notwithstanding the latter, it was found that the PEAS and the PEAST can still be further enhanced to optimize the sustainability of the Master’s Office in Cape Town.

Microfinance as a pathway for smallholder farming in Zimbabwe
Authors: Mago Stephen , Hofisi Costa
Published: October 2016

Microfinance has been viewed as a pathway for smallholder farming. This paper aims to investigate the impact of microfinance on smallholder farming. It examines the role of microfinance in the development of smallholder farming. This paper employs the integrated view of microfinance study as opposed to the ‘credit only’(minimalist) view. Using qualitative research methodology, the paper relies on literature review and primary data. Household level data (primary) were collected from a rural district (Masvingo Rural District) of Masvingo province in Zimbabwe. Data were collected from 250 microfinance participants (household heads) using questionnaires and face-to-face interviews. The findings show that microfinance had positive effects on accumulation of agricultural assets, income from agriculture, agricultural education, agricultural productivity, agri-business, consumption and health. However, the impact is limited due to lack of finance. Basic financial services are essential for the management of their smallholder farming activities. The practical implications are that the study results could be used by the government and development agencies for policy making. The paper recommends that microfinance should be harnessed as a useful intervention that can be employed to economically empower the smallholder rural agricultural sector.

Technopreneurship (entreprenology) as the Holy Grail of SMEs growth: a historical analysis
Authors: Mashingaidze Sivave
Published: October 2016

Technopreneurship / entreprenology is a relatively new term and is receiving increasing recognition from the scholars of various streams of business and science and technology disciplines, as well as from the industry players and business men practically. Technopreneurship is, indeed, becoming vital in the current globalization and liberalization economy, as it provides greater opportunities and enables effective optimization of resources to attain high profit margins. This article presents a summary of research on entrepreneurs and discusses the trends in the development of entrepreneurship to present day technopreneurship. It begins by introducing the pioneers of the domain, Cantillon, Say and Schumpeter. The contribution of economists such as Knight, Hayek, Penrose, Kirzner and Casson are mentioned. A second section presents the contributions of the behavioral scientists and the characteristics most commonly ascribed to entrepreneurs. From the 1980s onwards, the field of entrepreneurship detonated and was absorbed into almost every soft science discipline. Two separate trends - one applied, the other theory-based - began to emerge. Thus, the article necessitates that the field is in the process of dividing into two separate entities: entrepreneurship, the applied aspect, and technopreneurship, the theoretical aspect.

Smallholder farmers’ awareness of biofuel crops in the Eastern Cape Province, South Africa
Authors: Cheteni Priviledge
Published: October 2016

In this study, 157 smallholder farmers from the OR Tambo and Chris Hani district municipality in South Africa were purposively sampled to participate in a survey. The objective was to identify the factors that influence smallholder farmers’ awareness of biofuel crops. Using a binary logistic model, it was found that the variables: gender, household income, membership in association, land utilization and qualification were statistically significant in influencing farmers’ awareness of biofuel crops. Therefore, it is recommended that the South African government should identify the smallholder farmers targeted for the biofuel program by their social status, as pointed in this study.
