Making new spaces in between: A post-reflective essay weaving postcolonial threads into North American homiletics

This post-reflective essay is intended to provide common themes/threads that repeatedly appear throughout the consultation papers. However, it should be noted that though we distill and present these threads, not only numerous voices can remain unearthed but also the threads in themselves are porous, hybrid, changing, thus resonating. The threads that we identified in the papers are as follows: Hybridity and Identity in Contemporary Homiletic, Third Space, Loss and Memory, Performative Element, Context, Postcolonial Hermeneutics/Imagination, and Self-Reflexivity. In summary, these threads can be described in the following way: First, hybrid identity is closely related with Third Space, because postcolonial preaching is to create a Third Space where hybrid identity is forged. Thus, the understanding of both concepts is crucial for postcolonial preaching. Second, the lost should be recovered since under the influence of neo/colonialism, different elements (including memory) of the past that construct identities are lost, displaced and/or removed. Third, performative element is to be considered, focusing not only how and what to preach but also where to preach. Fourth, it is important to have synchronic and diachronic views of context as well as understanding of the inherent power dynamic within contexts. Fifth, postcolonial hermeneutics/imagination is needed to revision reality in historical, dialogical, and diasporic dimension. Finally, self-reflexivity is always required in order not to reproduce colonial discourse

Introduction to the Essays of the Consultation on Preaching and Postcolonial Theology

The essays that follow were first presented as part of a consultation on preaching and postcolonial theology at Boston University in October, 2014, sponsored by the BU Center for Practical Theology. The consultation was an opportunity to bring together a leading scholar in postcolonial theology, Dr. Kwok Pui-lan of Episcopal Theological Seminary; two homileticians who have already started to grapple with postcolonial theory and theology in their work, Drs. Pablo Jiménez and Sarah Travis; and two Ph.D. students, Revs. Tim Jones and Lis Valle, from BU and Vanderbilt respectively. The goal of this interdisciplinary consultation was to jump start a wider conversation on today’s postcolonial context in North American homiletics for the sake of the practice of preaching. As an ad hoc research team for the fall term of 2014, we editors named above were all pleased to help bring this consultation together and are now excited to bring its fruits to you, the international and diverse body of homileticians based in North America, the Academy of Homiletics

Marine Stock Enhancement, Restocking, and Sea Ranching in Korea

The Fish Stock Enhancement Programs (FSEPs)-based Fish Stock Rebuilding Plan (FSRP) have been established and operated from 2006 and is expanded to 16 species in 2016. While the current FSEPs-based FSRP is operated by species if the FSEPs-based FSRP be expanded to encompass the whole coastal ecosystem, it will greatly contribute to more effective FSEPs-based FSRP for all overfished species in coastal and offshore fisheries in Korea. This study is intended to introduce the processes and the contents of the Korea’s FSEPs-based FSRP and its fisheries resources management policies in more details. It is also to reveal any current issues in the socio-bioeconomics to achieve the effectiveness of the FSEPs-based FSRP. Objective recovery amounts of catch for each step were configured and a 10-year FSEPs-based FSRP was simply analyzed by catch data. The 10 year results of the FSEPs-based FSRP show that the amount of catch was increased in 8 species among 10 species

Socioeconomic Study on the Swimming Crab Rebuilding Plan in Korea

Since the establishment and enforcement of the swimming crab stock rebuilding plan in 2006, stock research and evaluation are continuously being conducted on the stock and diverse rebuilding measures are also being considered. The current swimming crab stock rebuilding plan emphasizes policies to reduce fishing pressure and create resources, but it is relatively indifferent about the management of habitats and spawning grounds, protection of marine environment and reduction of pollution. More active participation by fishers and better understanding between fishers groups are required for the effective enforcement of the rebuilding plan, including the TAC policy. Education and information campaigns directed at fishers should be reinforced to support the rebuilding plan as these plans must include broader participation by fishers.Summarizing the results of socioeconomic study on the swimming crab stock rebuilding plan, due to the improvements in the stock status, the swimming crab catch has also increased from 2,683 tonnes(M/T) in 2004 to 17 596 M/T in 2008. The increase is believed to be the result of a combination of rebuilding efforts e.g. clean-up of fishing grounds, release of juvenile crab, stricter enforcement of regulations, and favourable ocean environment, especially high sea surface temperature. As part of the efforts to enhance the environment of the fishing ground, sunken fishing gears, mostly drift nets, were removed by the government. In 2007 alone, 628 M/T of nets were taken out from Yeonpyeng Island area and the Specific Area. In addition, the release of juvenile crab was also undertaken as part of stock enhancement program; 909 000 juvenile crabs were released in 2006-2007.Another important aspect of implementing swimming crab rebuilding plan along with nationwide community-based fisheries management is the increased awareness of fishers regarding the issue, and an increased consensus towards rebuilding.  Accordingly, the effect of rebuilding plans for sandfish on other related fisheries must sufficiently be taken into consideration. In order to rebuild swimming crab fisheries, a rebuilding plan for the ecosystem must gradually be established and related multi-fisheries should be managed systematically.  Keywords: Swimming crab rebuilding plan, Socioeconomic study, Swimming crab stock recovers, Fishing mortality, Effects of stock rebuilding plan Dept. of Marine Business & Economics, Pukyong National University, Busan 608-737 Korea  Please Cite This Article As: Sang-Go Lee. 2010.

Solutions of xqk+⋯+xq+x=ax^{q^k}+\cdots+x^{q}+x=a in GF2nGF{2^n}

Though it is well known that the roots of any affine polynomial over a finite field can be computed by a system of linear equations by using a normal base of the field, such solving approach appears to be difficult to apply when the field is fairly large. Thus, it may be of great interest to find an explicit representation of the solutions independently of the field base. This was previously done only for quadratic equations over a binary finite field. This paper gives an explicit representation of solutions for a much wider class of affine polynomials over a binary prime field
