Prisoners' families: issues in law and policy
No full textThe author begins with a brief discussion
of current policy in relation to prisoners' families, then
considers aspects of prisoners' families interactions with the
legal process, taking recent judgments on artificial insemination
and mother-and-baby units as case studies. Article by Helen Codd

Knowledge as power and knowledge as resistance. Around the approach developed by Mark Olssen, John Codd and Anne-Marie O’Neill
No full textPodejmując idee przedstawione przez Marka Olssena, Johna Codda i Anne-Marie O’Neill w książce Education Policy: Globalization, Citizenship and Democracy (2004), autor wskazuje na pominięcie we współczesnych studiach nad edukacją zasadniczej roli wiedzy, jaką odgrywa ona w procesach władzy i w procesach oporu. Odwołując się do teorii kultury Michela Foucaulta, a także do teorii radykalnej demokracji Chantal Mouffe, wskazuje, iż także we współczesnym społeczeństwie wiedza jest podstawowym elementem procedur władzy i powiązanych z nimi różnorodnych technik dyscyplinarnych. Wskazując na podstawowe obszary oddziaływania wiedzy wbudowanej w relacje władzy, omawia pojawiające się w owych obszarach możliwości generowania strategii oporu - strategii także opartych na wiedzy.Tackling the ideas presented by Mark Olssen, John Codd and Anne-Marie O’Neill in their book Education Policy: Globalization, Citizenship and Democracy (2004), the author points out that contemporary educational studies fail to analyse the essential role of knowledge in power processes and resistance processes. Referring to Michel Foucault's theory of culture and Chantal Mouffe’s theory of radical democracy the author points out that knowledge in the modern society is a key element of power processes and related interdisciplinary techniques. The author identifies the essential areas impacted by knowledge built into power relationships and discusses the opportunities to generate resistance strategies that arise in those areas, including knowledge-based strategies.
546 The Leading Edge
No full textThe Tempest Project-Addressing challenges in deepwater Gulf of Mexico depth imaging through geologic models and numerical simulation P erforming depth imaging is an essential part of deepwater Gulf of Mexico (GOM) exploration. Over the years, depth-imaging technology has provided the most reliable seismic images below salt and has been implemented in the workfl ows of the prospect generation process. But how accurate are these images? Since model building for depth imaging is partially an interpretative process, and depth imaging involves resolving seismic propagation through complicated geologic features, it is easy for the resulting prestack depth-migrated images to include imaging and positioning errors. Much deepwater GOM exploration focuses on targets beneath the regional allochthonous salt. Due to the complex structural geometries associated with salt tectonics and the geophysical characteristics of salt, the acquired seismic data sets universally include areas of very poor signal. Over the years, improvements in both seismic acquisition techniques and implementation of new imaging algorithms have improved subsalt imaging. However, there are still large areas where the image quality is not suffi cient to generate confi dent interpretations, impacting prospect generation in ways ranging from the ability to estimate value for lease sale acquisition to maturing prospects to drill-ready status ( In order to improve our ability to correctly interpret areas of low illumination and poor signal-to-noise ratio as illustrated in Leveraging the growth of compute power in conjunc- ADAM SEITCHIK, DANA JURICK, ALEX BRIDGE, RICHARD BRIETZKE, and KEN BEENEY, Devon Energy Corporation JEFF CODD, FATMIR HOXHA, CLAUDE PIGNOL, and DAVID KESSLER, SeismicCity Corporation tion with aff ordability, the industry has improved its ability to simulate fi eld-acquired data phenomena such as optimal acquisition geometry, optimal processing fl ows, and selection of prestack depth-migration algorithms. Th is growth in compute power enabled us to move from ray-based numerical simulation to wave-based numerical simulation. As importantly, simulation projects can now be done using appropriate key parameters such as large apertures and high-frequency bandwidth and can be done in a timely manner so their results will be used as part of an exploration project. In order to analyze subsalt depth imaging accuracy and algorithm limitations, Devon Energy, in collaboration with SeismicCity, decided to create a model and a data set that represent true GOM geology. Th e model and data set were given the name "Tempest." Th e key component of the simulation part was to use wave-equation techniques for generating the seismic data. Th e Tempest project was executed in thre
The 'Synopsis Chronike' and its place in the Byzantine chronicle tradition: its sources (Creation – 1081 CE)
No full textThe subject of this thesis is the Synopsis Chronike (or Synopsis Sathas), a Byzantine chronicle of the thirteenth century that conveys the history of the world, starting from Adam and concluding with the recapture of Constantinople in 1261. The study focuses on the first part of the text (Adam – Nikephoros Botaneiates), and more specifically on the comprehensive presentation and analysis of the whole corpus of its sources, passage by passage, in order to reconstruct the background of the chronicle and to determine its place in the Byzantine chronicle tradition.
Following the introductory first chapter, which sets out the aims of the thesis and establishes its methodology, chapter two offers an overview of the chronicle itself, and a first discussion of the main issues it presents: the key characteristics of its narrative structure, its manuscript tradition, and – mainly – the problem of its authorship, with special reference to the commonly supposed author, Theodore Skoutariotes, bishop of Kyzikos. Chapter three conveys a detailed presentation of the results of our research; following the discussion of the sources and influences of the proem, it attempts to place each passage of the Synopsis Chronike in the context of any related texts, which are then identified as 'main sources', 'other sources' and 'parallel passages', depending on their link to the Synopsis Chronike. Chapter four discusses individually each text that appears as a source of the Synopsis Chronike, and locates its place amongst the whole corpus of the sources. Furthermore, it examines the passages for which we were not able to identify a main source, and suggests possible sources that have not survived. Finally, the concluding chapter of the thesis summarises the earlier discussion, and attempts to combine the different pieces of information, and to provide an overall picture of the background of the Synopsis Chronike in order to establish – to the degree that it is possible – its position in the Byzantine chronicle tradition
