ABSTRACTThis article analyses how the state in Senegal has managed the hajj since the liberalisation era in the early 2000s. Although the essence of the hajj is religious, it is also deeply political and requires that the state manages complex relations with pilgrims, religious leaders, private travel agencies, politicians and Saudi authorities. This article argues that three inter-related imperatives structure the conduct of the Senegalese state: a security imperative, a legitimation imperative, and a clientelistic imperative. Security concerns lead the state to monitor and control pilgrims travelling to Mecca. Legitimation is seen in the collaborative relations with Sûfi orders and in the framing of the hajj organisation as a ‘public service’. Finally, given the magnitude of financial and symbolic resources attached to the hajj, clientelistic relations are constitutive of state officials’ actions. Overall, despite the post-2000 liberalisation of the hajj, the state has maintained its role as a gatekeeper, regulator and supervisor.

The home network is one of the emerging areas from the last century. However, the growth of the home network market is stationary at present. This paper describes the limitations of the home network system and the requirements for overcoming the current limitations. Also described is a new home network service system known as COWS and its easy installation and scalable operation. COWS consists of power consumption monitor and control devices along with a service server that is a complementary combination of Open Service Gateway initiative (OSGi) and web services. A home network system has a dynamic, heterogeneous, distributed, and scalable topology. Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) has been proposed as a solution that satisfies the requirement of a home network, and OSGi and web services are two successful SOA-based frameworks. An included service server has a flexible architecture that consists of a core and extendable service packages. A power consumption monitor and control function provides useful context information for activity-based context-aware services and optimizes the power consumption. The system can be installed easily into existing and new houses to solve the current barrier of the popularization of home network services.

The supercavitation weapon is a new concept weapon moving at a high speed underwater, which is devised applying the characteristic of supercavitation reducing the resistance of water, and it may be widely used in the future. The present ventilating system has many shortcomings, such as less automation and numerous data cannot be measured and recorded timely. In this paper, the automatic monitor and control ventilating system of supercavitation water-tunnel was developed using configuration software and PLC. All parameters can be measured, recorded and displayed automatically via using of the system. It has many advantages such as higher automation, convenience, and easy maintenance.

Prolonged Stress

Abstract Introduction Sleep problems are common in humans with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Rapid eye movement (REM) sleep is involved in processing emotional memories; it is often disrupted in those with PTSD, and may be related to increased anxiety. Single prolonged stress (SPS) is a protocol used to model PTSD in rats, however little is known about how this model impacts sleep in mice. Prior research suggests SPS produces short term disturbances in REM sleep and increases in anxiety-like behavior, but further validation of this model is needed to understand how SPS impacts sleep and anxiety-like behaviors in mice specifically, as they have greater potential for transgenic manipulation Methods C57BL6/J mice underwent a SPS protocol in which they were tube-restrained for 2 hours, followed by a 15 minute forced swim in a group, ether exposure until loss of consciousness, and 10 days of social isolation. Following SPS, mice were tested for anxiety-like behavior in a light-dark box and sleep was measured from surgically implanted EEG and EMG leads. Time spent in wake, REM sleep, and non-REM sleep was quantified for 24 continuous hours in SPS and Control mice. Results There were no significant effects of SPS on the amount of time spent in any vigilance state, or in sleep-wake transitions. However, SPS-exposed mice showed significantly more anxiety-like behavior. EEG power spectra were analyzed in relevant frequency bands during each sleep state, and exploratory analyses were conducted Conclusion Minimal effects on sleep macroarchitecture were seen in mice 10 days after SPS. It is possible that sleep disturbances seen immediately after trauma exposure (such as in prior studies in rats) may have diminished over time. Further studies will need to include additional timepoints and analysis of sleep microarchitecture following SPS, and in other mouse models of PTSD, in order to more comprehensively examine changes in sleep.

SummuryIncreasingly diverse and complex computer-based support underlies critical human processes, such as education, commerce, medicine, science, defense, and government. These systems are fed massive amounts of data and due to the complexity and size of these systems, they are integrating and interfacing with each other with less human oversight. Soon, they will need to build, refine, and elaborate their own models and processes, making more decisions about what information to use in what manner and how to approach problems or goals. Hence, these systems must be able to reason about and report out to us their modeling and processing choices in order to help us monitor and control their operations and interactions. In this paper, we discuss our work on creating reflective systems, and how reflection coupled with “generative processes” and “cognitive instrumentation” will help enable organic computing systems. We then briefly describe our testbed for studying self-conscious modeling.
