An Apartheid of Knowledge in Academia: The Struggle over the "Legitimate" Knowledge of Faculty of Color.

Abstract: The University as an institution is a key arena where "legitimate" knowledge is established. While discourses of power may have qualities of constraint and repression, they are not, nor have they ever been, uncontested. Indeed, the process of determining what is "legitimate knowledge" and for what purpose that knowledge should be produced is a political debate that rages in the University. Our presence, as working-class people of color (especially women of color), in an institution which values itself on its elitist criteria for admission, forces the debates and challenges previously sacred canons of objective truth.…It is probably for this reason that our presence here is so complex--and so important (Cordova, 1998, p. 18).

Sumudu transform: a new integral transform to solve differential equations and control engineering problems

Abstract: A new integral transform called the Sumudu transform is introduced. This transform possesses many interesting properties which make its visualization easier. Some of these properties are: (1) The differentiation and integration in the t‐domain is equivalent to division and multiplication of the transformed function F(u)by uin the u‐domain. (2) The unit‐step function in the t‐domain is transformed to unity in the u‐domain. (3) Scaling of the function f(t)in the t‐domain is equivalent to scaling of F(u) in the u‐domain by the same scale factor. (4) The limit of f(t) as ttends to zero is equal to the limit of F(u)as utends to zero. (5) For several cases, the limit of F(t)as ttends to infinity is the same as the limit of F(u)as u tends to infinity. (6) The slope of the function f(t) at t =0is the same as the slope of F(u) at u = 0. Hence uand F(u)are no longer dummies but can be treated as replicas of tand f(t).It is even possible to express uand F(u)using the units of tand f(t) respectively.

More Than a Metaphor: The Contribution of Exclusionary Discipline to a School-to-Prison Pipeline

Abstract: The term and construct “school-to-prison” pipeline has been widely used by advocates, researchers, and policymakers to describe the relationship between school disciplinary practices and increased risk of juvenile justice contact. It has been unclear whether the construct is a useful heuristic or a descriptor of empirically validated relationships that establish school disciplinary practices as a risk factor for negative developmental outcomes, including juvenile justice involvement. In this article, we examine the literature surrounding one facet of the pipeline, school exclusion as a disciplinary option, and propose a model for tracing possible pathways of effect from school suspension and expulsion to the ultimate contact point of juvenile justice involvement. Available multivariate analyses suggest that regardless of demographic, achievement, or system status, out-of-school suspension and expulsion are in and of themselves risk factors for a range of negative developmental outcomes.
