CrashDetech: The app that could save your life in
a car crash
(CNN) It's the killer that, by some measures,
takes more young lives each year than conflict or
some forms of cancer. Every 30 seconds a person is
killed in a road crash, according to figures from the
Global Road Safety Partnership. That's more than
3,400 people per day and 1.25 million people per
year. Perhaps even more arresting is World Health
Organization (WHO) analysis which says that 90% of
all road based fatalities occur in low to middle income
countries, despite such nations having only half of the
world's vehicles. It's a tragedy that even takes a toll
on development costing some nations up to 5% of
GDP, according to the International Road
Assessment Programme (iRAP). The problem is so pressing that the U.N. declared the years between
2011 and 2020 as the "Decade of Action for Road
Safety," with over 100 countries pledging to reduce
killer car accidents. Some of the highest rates of road
deaths can be found in Africa. According to the
WHO's 2015 Global Status on Road safety report,
Libya is at the top of the table (73 deaths per 100,000
people), followed by Thailand (36) and Malawi (35).
Automatic detection
Yet one South African company has
designed a system that it believes can help cut
Africa's dismal rate of road fatalities. CrashDetech is
a smartphone application designed by
Johannesburg- based entrepreneur Jaco Gerrits. It
operates while a user is driving and detects the
sudden motion and G-forces of a car crash. The app
then pinpoints the location of the accident and
automatically calls an emergency response center,
which will dispatch the nearest medical emergency
team. CrashDetechs also sends personal medical
information, such as allergies and blood type, to
enable doctors and paramedics to offer more
effective treatment. The aim is to reduce waiting
times, and in doing so, save lives.
Race against time
In South Africa, the WHO estimate that
roughly 38 people are killed in road accidents each
day. "It's a major global public health problem,"
Gerrits told CNN. "They [the WHO] have identified
that how quickly you respond to a crash and how
effectively obviously can make a massive difference‖.
Let's say in a rural area you're involved in a crash
and you're off the road. There's a good chance that
nobody might even notice the crash. You can't speak
for yourself, and those patients will probably never
get the right kind of treatment to them in time."
According to Dr Pieter Venter of the Global Road
Safety partnership, mobile technology start-up's like
CrashDetech have exciting potential. "A number of
providers of such services have launched both here
in South Africa and right around the world, and there
is a growing body of anecdotal evidence which
supports the position that this technology can play a
key role in helping to save lives," Venter said. But
Venter also states that changing attitudes to the
wearing of seatbelts and highlighting the dangers of
drink-driving are also important factors in reducing
road fatalities in the likes of South Africa.
One of the app's key advantages is it has
grouped together 113 different private emergency
medical providers in South Africa, meaning its
customers have a greater chance of accessing an
ambulance that's near. "You might be familiar with
one specific [ambulance] number, for example ER24, [but] there's a good chance they're half an hour away.
Whereas let's say Netcare 911 might be 5 minutes
away," Gerrits continued "If you've got medical aid
[insurance], it normally has a relationship with one of
the private companies. They'll typically try and
dispatch the company's resources that they have a
relationship with," said Gerrits.

Embracing Change
I have taught brilliant students of color, many of them seniors, who have skillfully managed never to speak in classroom settings. Some express the feeling that they are less likely to suffer any kind of assault if they simply do not assert their subjectivity. They have told me that many professors never showed any interest in hearing their voices. Accepting the decentering of the West globally, embracing multiculturalism, compels educators to focus attention on the issue of voice. Who speaks? Who listens? And why? Caring about whether all students fulfill their responsibility to contribute to learning in the classroom is not a common approach in what Freire has called the “banking system of education” where students are regarded merely as passive consumers. Since so many professors teach from that standpoint, it is difficult to create the kind of learning community that can fully embrace multiculturalism. Students are much more willing to surrender their dependency on the banking system of education than are their teachers. They are also much more willing to face the challenge of multiculturalism. Multiculturalism compels educators to recognize the narrow boundaries that have shaped the way knowledge is shared in the classroom. It forces us all to recognize our complicity in accepting and perpetuating biases of any kind. Students are eager to break through barriers to knowing. They are willing to surrender to the wonder of relearning and learning ways of knowing that go against the grain. When we, as educators, allow our pedagogy to be radically changed by our recognition of a multicultural world, we can give students the education they desire and deserve. We can teach in ways that transform consciousness, creating a climate of free expression that is the essence of education.

The difficult journey to Olympic success
For Jessica Morgan, a young athlete New Zealand, a typical day starts early. Most mornings, she gets up 4:30 a.m., while her family is still bed, and trains before school. As an elite rower, she is one the best in her country, and she aims to compete in the next Olympic Games.
Jessica’s weekly schedule is grueling. She trains twice
a day, six days a week, and competes in rowing events
on the weekends. However, she’s also a normal
schoolgirl, and like every other sixteen-year-old at
high school, she regularly does her homework, too.
Jessica’s motivation is impressive. She never hangs
out with friends or takes a vacation. She isn’t only an
amazing athlete – she usually gets good grades in
school, too. Of course, it isn’t easy to become successful. Being the best at your sport requires hard work,
determination, and the help of family and coaches.
Young athletes’ relationships with their family and
coaches can influence their success in the future. Jessica’s parents usually spend hours every week taking
her to training and competitions, and they help her
to eat a healthy diet. Her coach plans her training
and enters her for competitions. But both parents
and coach must offer emotional support, too – for
example, when Jessica loses a competition or she gets
an injury. Luckily for Jessica, she has a good relationship with both her coach and family. But in other cases,
these relationships can place too much pressure on
young athletes. For this reason, some of them lose
their motivation to do well.
For Jessica, the most important factor in her future
success is her own desire to win. “I know talented
young athletes who give up because they feel lonely
without their friends,” she says. “But I prefer not to
think negatively.” Jessica believes she is responsible
for securing her future success. “It’s my decision to
train every morning and go back to it again every
afternoon. It’s my decision not to have a social life, and
never to take a vacation.” Not everyone can cope with
this kind of lifestyle. But each day Jessica moves one
step closer to achieving her Olympic dream.

Far from being selfless gestures, giving gifts creates a
personal debt
It would be nice to believe that gifts are genuine
tokens of affection, given without any expectation of
recompense. (Indeed, Merriam-Webster dictionary defines
“gift” as something “voluntarily transferred” and “without
compensation.”) But if you’ve ever had the niggling sense
that something other than selflessness drives the presents
you dutifully exchange with friends and family, then
sociology has your back.
Dimitri Mortelmans, sociology professor at
Antwerp University in Belgium, explains that there is far
more to gifting than meets the eye. “Gift-giving is one of
the ancient early topics in sociology,” he says. “There’s a
whole world behind gift-giving that goes very close to the
basics of living together.” Gift giving, after all, is a physical
symbol of a personal relationship and an expression of
social ties that bring individuals together.
Far from being voluntary, the 20th century French
sociologist Marcel Mauss argues that presents are tied up
with strict obligations. “To refuse to give, to fail to invite,
just as to refuse to accept, is tantamount to declaring war;
it is to reject the bond of ___________ and ___________,”
he wrote in his 1925 essay “The Gift.” A present is a token
of a relationship and a wish to continue that relationship
and so, in rejecting a gift, the offer of extended friendship
is also rebuffed.
This gift exchange can be summarized by the
Latin phrase: Do Ut des: “I give because I expect you to
give something back.”
We see such attitudes among families and friends,
where each person gives out presents worth roughly the
same price. This behavior is particularly obvious in the
more pressured stakes of a new romantic relationship,
where buying an overly lavish present (or a particularly
stingy one) could send the wrong signal and cause upset.
A gift doesn’t necessarily have to be exchanged
for another gift. “You don’t need to repay the things given
to you in a material way. You can also be nice or perform
some other kind of behavior,” says Mortelmans. So for
example, someone who can’t afford to buy a gift in return
might be especially affectionate or helpful.

Operations management is important. It is concerned
with creating the products and services upon which
we all depend. And creating products and services is
the very reason for any organization’s existence, whether that organization be large or small, manufacturing or service, for profit or not profit. Thankfully, most
companies have now come to understand the importance of operations. This is because they have realized
that effective operations management gives the
potential to improve revenues and, at the same time,
enables goods and services to be produced more
efficiently. It is this combination of higher revenues
and lower costs which is understandably important to
any organization.
Operations management is also exciting. It is at the
center of so many of the changes affecting the business world – changes in customer preference, changes
in supply networks brought about by internet-based
technologies, changes in what we want to do at work,
how we want to work, and so on. There has rarely
been a time when operations management was more
topical or more at the heart of business and cultural
shifts.
Operations management is also challenging. Promoting the creativity which will allow organizations to
respond to so many changes is becoming the prime
task of operations managers. It is they who must find
the solutions to technological and environmental
challenges, the pressures to be socially responsible,
the increasing globalization of markets and the difficult-to-define areas of knowledge management.
The preposition ’upon’, in paragraph 1, can be
replaced by which other preposition, without changing its meaning?
