“…24 This 'Loango' village was led by a man called Claas, who ed around 1690 with a group of people from plantation L'Esperance along the Coropina Creek, where they were fed badly cooked rice. 25 It is unclear whether the Matjau's lived there too, but this is the rst written evidence of rice grown by Maroons in Suriname. According to Albert Aboikoni, paramount chief of the Saramaccans, the growing Matjau group, including Sééi and several children born in the forest, trekked southwards for a few years until they settled at Baákawáta, far up the Pikin Lio (Figure 1).…”

“…There were no people, you [alone] walked that path [in the forest] Evil was lurking on that path, it tried to possess you [but] Your spirit found peace Mama Tjowa, Mama Tjowa, we thank you, Mama Tjowa, The escape of the rst Matawai was dated around 1700, when they escaped from the plantations Poesoegroenoe, Uitkijk, Hamburg or Sukugoon (sugar eld) although no such names are documented on historic maps of the lower Saramacca River. 46 Around 1730, Tjowa's group had increased substantially with other refugees, and they built a village near Djibi creek. Here they eventually split into two groups: those that later became the Saramaccans crossed the mountains and went eastwards to the upper Suriname river, and those later known as the Matawai created the village of Toido around 1740 along the Tukumutu creek (Figure 1).…”

“…With a few exceptions, women are prohibited from entering deeply in the world of ' rst-time' knowledge. 16 This male bias explains why crop cultivation is hardly covered by the published oral history accounts. In this paper, we show that Maroon women's agricultural knowledge harbors signi cant information about past events, often regarding female agency during marronage and the successful transfer of crops to the hinterland.…”

Given the few written documents left behind by those who escaped slavery, the analysis of African agency in the transfer of crops and knowledge in the successful establishment of Maroon communities benefits from other disciplines, such as oral history, ethnobotany and linguistics. Here we report the histories of several enslaved women, who escaped in the early periods of slave rebellion in Suriname. They played a crucial role in ensuring food security for their runaway communities by bringing rice seeds hidden in their hair. We combined information from ethnobotanical surveys, Maroon oral history, archival documents and published accounts to show how Maroon farmers safeguard their agricultural diversity and cultural heritage by cultivating rice varieties that still carry the names of their female ancestors who took along these seeds during their flight to freedom. We trace the routes of the Saramaccan ancestors Sééi, Yaya and Paánza, Tjowa of the Matawai, Sapali, Ana and Bapi of the Aucans, and describe the rice varieties named after them. The legends of these female ancestors acknowledge the importance of women in Maroon survival. Maroon women’s agricultural knowledge probably contains much more neglected oral history on how their ancestors obtained food crops from plantations or Amerindians.

After focusing on Cost of Quality (CoQ), the companies must now move into integrating the CoQ into Supply Chain upstream and downstream, to address CoQ issues across Supply Chain Network Design (SCND) modeling. In this preliminary study, we propose a state of the art of the published works on models and classifications of SCND incorporating the CoQ existing in the literature. In the second part of this paper, we will present a review by studying and analyzing the application of some meta-heuristics to solve supply chain models. The reviewed meta-heuristics include: the genetic algorithm (GA), and simulated annealing (SA). Finally, we suggest directions for future research.

“…Controlling is one of the four major functions of management, together with planning, organizing, and leading. Among different types of controlling in production companies quality control is of particular importance, as it aims at checking process or product compliance with the requirements of an internal or external customer [1,2].…”

Accepted: 8 May 2015 Visual control (visual inspection) is often used in production because -in comparison to other kinds of control -it is relatively easy to conduct. It does not require any specialized technical equipment. Human senses, usually sight, are the measurement tool. Unfortunately, visual control does not guarantee a fully correct assessment. The reason is the limited human reliability. There are plenty of factors which influence ability of a human to assess the process or product quality properly. An important group of them are ergonomic factors. The goal of the paper is to identify and discuss their influence on the efficiency of the visual quality control in manufacturing processes. The research was carried out in manufacturing company from automotive industry. The paper presents the investigation of work organizational factors influence on visual control effectiveness. A controller can make two types of errors in the process of visual inspection: to assess a conforming product as "defective" or to assess a non-conforming product as "good". Effectiveness of sequential visual controls in selected process was examined. As a measure of visual control effectiveness Control First Pass Yield index was defended. Three operations were analyzed: assembly of components, melting components and applying a protective coating.
