Decolonizing the University: the Challenges and Possibilities of Inclusive Education
Authors: Dei George 
Published: March 2016

<div class="page" title="Page 1"><div class="layoutArea"><div class="column"><p><span>This article argues for a reframing of the curriculum within the academy in order to make the academy more inclusive and more accessible to a diverse student body. Reframing the curriculum is seen as an aspect of decolonizing the university. Many questions emerge from this argument to include the following: What curriculum informs the education contemporary learners receive and how do they apply this to their academic and work lives? How do educators re-fashion their work as educators and also as learners to create more relevant understandings of what it means to be human and to determine what is human work? What are the limits and possibilities of visions of and counter and anti-visions to contemporary education? How do educators and learners challenge colonizing and imperializing relations within the academy and that influence the academy and its learners? How does curriculum become inclusive through teaching, research and graduate training and how does it make space for Indigeneity and multi-centric ways of knowing? How do we frame an inclusive, anti-racist, and anti-colonial global future and what is the work that is required to collectively arrive at that future? These complex questions, stimulated by my decolonizing curriculum work and experience, are engaged through the body of this article. </span></p></div></div></div>
Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) Technology: Gaining A Competitive Value Through Cloud Computing
Authors: Owunwanne Daniel 
Published: March 2016

Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) uses radio waves to track the movement of goods through the Supply Chain system. The identity of an object is captured with a unique serial number that is transmitted wirelessly to a computer system. Small businesses are facing RFID implementation barriers. The barriers range from the perspective of the consumer-goods manufacturers and retail organizations. We propose implementing RFID technology using cloud computing framework to alleviate or reduce the implementation cost which is the most prevalent barrier.

E&P Notes
Lessons From the Aviation Industry on Automation
Trent Jacobs, JPT Senior Technology Writer
One of the defining features of the 21st century will undoubtedly be the changing relationship between humans and automated machines. The aviation industry has long been a champion of automation and in March, three experts from this field offered their insights to oil and gas professionals about how the technology continues to be qualified and adopted.
The presentations were made in London at the SPE’s Drilling Systems Automation Technical Section (DSATS) and IADC Advanced Rig Technology symposium, which is held each year on the eve of the SPE/IADC Drilling Conference and Exhibition.
Faster Recognition
Stephen Rassenfoss, JPT Emerging Technology Senior Editor
A project to predict how much carbon dioxide injected into an oil field is likely to remain there forever set off the US Department of Energy (DOE) on a search for faster data analysis methods.
Speed matters because making projections going out as far as 1,000 years using a probabilistic model (Monte Carlo) will require long computing times, which are costly. DOE is trying to limit the total time by seeking quicker, lower-cost ways to generate the required data inputs by finding reasonably accurate methods that are faster than multiple processing runs of a full-field reservoir simulation model.
Tough Tracers
Stephen Rassenfoss, JPT Emerging Technology Senior Editor
A new miniature pressure/temperature sensor comes packaged inside a tough small ball capable of traveling to the bottom of a well while drilling and returning with data on board.
The outer shell of the ball allows electrical components printed on a circuit board to survive a trip in the drilling mud to the bottom of the well, survive a close encounter with the drill bit, and return with readings along the way that can be wirelessly downloaded.
Creators of the balls are seeking a lower-cost alternative to logging tools located behind the drill bit. The tracer was created by a company started by Mengjiao Yu, an assistant professor of petroleum engineering at the University of Tulsa, with backing from Saudi Aramco.
Corrosion Prediction
Stephen Rassenfoss, JPT Emerging Technology Senior Editor
There are oil fields in Saudi Arabia with many, long-lived wells and not enough inspection equipment to frequently check all the pipes for corrosion damage.
“With a limited number of corrosion logging tools, we cannot cover all of them in 1 or 2 years,” said Mohammed AlAjmi, a production engineer for Saudi Aramco, who estimated that it would take 5 years with the available equipment in a presentation at the SPE Digital Energy Conference and Exhibition in The Woodlands, Texas.
To reduce the risk of undetected corrosion damage inside and outside the casing, AlAjmi developed a method to predict which wells were at the highest risk of damage using data-driven models and artificial intelligence methods.

A violência tem se apresentado como uma demanda marcante aos setores sanitários. Objetivou-se verificar se os profissionais da Estratégia Saúde da Família (ESF) de um município de São Paulo encontram dificuldades quanto ao processo de reconhecimento e notificação das ocorrências envolvendo violência. Trata-se de um estudo transversal e descritivo. Do total de 135 profissionais, 57 consentiram e responderam um questionário autoaplicado com questões abertas e fechadas. Os dados foram analisados quanti-qualitativamente. 75,4% dos profissionais não conhecem a ficha de notificação de violências; 60% não se sentem responsáveis pela notificação dos casos. O acontecimento da violência intrafamiliar, muitas vezes, está associado ao uso de drogas e/ou álcool e também da condição socioeconômica dos indivíduos envolvidos. Conclui-se que a maioria dos participantes encontra-se despreparada para o reconhecimento e notificação dessas ocorrências. Sugere-se o aprimoramento das estratégias, de modo a capacitar os profissionais para realizar um atendimento adequado às vítimas de violência intrafamiliar.<p class="Corpodetexto21"><strong>Descritores:</strong><strong> </strong>Violência; Saúde Pública; Epidemiologia; Políticas Públicas.</p>
Comparative Efficacy of Different Tactics for the Management of Okra Shoot and Fruit Borer, Earias Vittella (Fab.) under Field Condition
Authors: Rahman M.A. , Uddin M.M. , Haque M.A. , Rahman M.M. 
Published: March 2016

Comparative field efficacy of different control measures of okra shoot and fruit borer, Earias vittella were evaluated in the Entomology Field Laboratory, Bangladesh Agricultural University during February to May, 2014. Field efficacy of two selected chemical insecticides (Decis 2.5EC, Agritaf 50SP), three botanicals (Neem oil, Pitraj oil and Mahogany oil), one parasitoid (Trichogramma chilonis), Light trap along with Hand picking and Trap crop (Maize) were evaluated by analyzing percent shoot and fruit infestations. BARI-1 (okra variety) was used as a test crop in the experiment. Among the tactics, the minimum shoot (4.72%) and fruit infestations (6.77%) were observed in the plots treated with Decis 2.5EC followed by Neem oil treated plots (4.83% in shoot and 7.56% in fruit). The highest reduction of percent shoot infestation (79.89%) and fruit infestation (64.97%) over untreated control plots was found in the Decis 2.5EC sprayed plots followed by Neem oil while the lowest percent reduction of shoot infestation (29.86%) and fruit infestation (29.43%) were recorded in case of Light trap + hand picking. Neem oil and Decis 2.5EC were found very effective in managing E. vittella up to 7 days after each spraying. Agritaf 50SP, Pitraj oil, Mahogany oil, T. chilonis and trap crop were also found effective over untreated control plots although were significantly lower than Decis 2.5EC and Neem oil. Therefore, application of Decis 2.5EC and Neem oil were mostly effective and Light trap + hand picking was the least effective measures in controlling E. vittella.Int J Appl Sci Biotechnol, Vol 4(1): 74-78
Understanding significance and p-values
Authors: Bangdiwala Shrikant I 
Published: March 2016

<p>Since the p-value is a single index, following the ASA’s statement, we strongly support that it cannot and should not be considered as the sole basis for scientific reasoning. Given the misuses and misconceptions concerning p-values, the recommendation is to present the estimate of the effect, provide a measure of uncertainty of the estimation (e.g. confidence interval), and interpret the results in terms of scientific importance. </p>

Ounjougou (Pays dogon, Mali) : une séquence à haute résolution pour le Paléolithique moyen d’Afrique sahélienne
Authors: Soriano Sylvain , Rasse Michel , Tribolo Chantal , Huysecom Éric 
Published: March 2016

L’Afrique de l’Ouest est actuellement totalement absente des débats portant sur le Middle Stone Age. Si des sites de cette période y sont décrits de longue date, leur contexte stratigraphique est souvent incertain ou inexistant. Tant en Afrique australe qu’en Europe occidentale, les progrès dans la connaissance de ces périodes reposent largement sur la construction d’un cadre chronologique général, de préférence corrélé aux variations paléoclimatiques globales et soutenu par des datations absolues. L’étude du complexe de sites de plein air d’Ounjougou (Pays dogon, Mali) ouvre ainsi une nouvelle perspective sur le MSA d’Afrique de l’Ouest. Près d’une trentaine de niveaux archéologiques de cette période ont en effet été identifiés au sein d’épais dépôts pléistocènes, principalement d’origine éolienne. Le recours systématique aux datations OSL a permis de caler cette puissante séquence sédimentaire et de dater indirectement les nombreuses occupations paléolithiques. Les plus anciennes occupations du MSA sont datées de la fin du Pléistocène moyen, autour de 150.000 ans. Elles deviennent plus nombreuses entre 80.000 ans et 25.000 ans, avec une concentration particulière au cours du stade isotopique 3. Comme habituellement en contexte de plein air, la densité des vestiges au sein de ces niveaux archéologiques est très variable et seule l’industrie lithique est conservée. Au-delà de la fréquence des occupations, l’originalité de cette séquence archéologique repose sur la diversité des industries lithiques, lesquelles se succèdent sans logique apparente. Débitages Levallois, discoïde, unipolaire, laminaire ou encore bipolaire sur enclume alternent ainsi tout au long de la séquence et on observe à plusieurs reprises des industries caractérisées par des pièces bifaciales foliacées. Si, pour leur majorité, les industries lithiques s’intègrent aisément dans le paysage du MSA ouest-africain, c’est surtout la diversité des traditions techniques et leur alternance rapide qui soulèvent des interrogations. Un tel rythme de changement trouve-t-il des équivalents régionaux ? A-t-il une signification particulière en termes de dynamique de peuplement pour l’Afrique de l’Ouest subsaharienne ?
Joel
Authors: Seitz Christopher R. 
Published: March 2016

The book of Joel is held to be one of the latest prophetic witnesses; it cites other books of the book of the Twelve prophets with a density that distinguishes it from its neighbours. The concept of the “Day of the LORD” which runs throughout the Minor Prophets as a whole reaches its zenith in Joel and its co-mingling of ecological and military metaphors advances Hosea on the former and anticipates later texts on the latter.
In this volume within T&T Clark’s International Theological Commentary Series Christopher Seitz starts from a foundation of historical-critical methodology to provide an account of Joel’s place and purpose within the book of the Twelve prophets as a whole. Seitz examines the theology and background of Joel, and shows how Joel’s theological function can provide a major hermeneutical key to the interpretation of the wider collection, and teases out the precise character of that role.
Colonial Food in Interwar Paris
Authors: Janes Lauren 
Published: March 2016

In the wake of the First World War, in which France suffered severe food shortages, colonial produce became an increasingly important element of the French diet. The colonial lobby seized upon these foodstuffs as powerful symbols of the importance of the colonial project to the life of the French nation. But how was colonial food really received by the French public? And what does this tell us about the place of empire in French society?
In Colonial Food in Interwar Paris, Lauren Janes disputes the claim that empire was central to French history and identity, arguing that the distrust of colonial food reflected a wider disinterest in the empire. From Indochinese rice to North African grains and tropical fruit to curry powder, this book offers an intriguing and original challenge to current orthodoxy about the centrality of empire to modern France by examining the place of colonial foods in the nation’s capital.
Experiências Religiosas/Espirituais: dissociação saudável ou patológica?
Authors: Alminhana Letícia Oliveira , Menezes Jr. Adair 
Published: March 2016

<p>Contexto: Algumas experiências religiosas e/ou espirituais apresentam um caráter dissociativo. Há carência de estudos que indiquem critérios diferenciais entre a dissociação patológica e saudável em contexto religioso. Objetivo: Este estudo pretende observar as experiências dissociativas sob diferentes perspectivas: uma ligada à psicopatologia e a outra, à saúde. Método: Ensaio temático com a literatura disponível sobre o assunto. Bases de dados: Pubmed e PsychINFO. Também foi feita busca manual de artigos relacionados ao assunto. Resultados: 1. Historicamente, alguns autores se debruçaram sobre as relações entre dissociação e fenômenos religiosos, mas os dados não são conclusivos; 2. A dissociação acontece em um <em>continuum </em>entre saúde e doença; 3. A psiquiatria transcultural oferece aporte para a compreensão de experiências dissociativas, como o transe de possessão, contextualizando-as culturalmente; 4. Há uma série de estudos feitos no Brasil, que exploram o diagnóstico diferencial entre experiências religiosas saudáveis e patológicas. Conclusões: Experiências religiosas/espirituais de caráter dissociativo (como a possessão), podem ser consideradas saudáveis se apresentarem ausência de sofrimento, controle, forem contextualizadas e trouxerem benefício para o indivíduo. Indivíduos sem Autodirecionamento e com experiências autocentradas mostram maior probabilidade de desenvolver patologia. Futuros estudos deverão explorar empírica e longitunalmente estas questões.</p>
