Abstract:

Trinidad and Tobago’s anti-gay laws can be traced back to British colonialism and European imperialism. Their existence today and their consequences for human lives in Trinidad and Tobago during the past one hundred years are a local entanglement of historic global hierarchies of power. On 12 April 2018, in the High Court of Port of Spain, capital of Trinidad and Tobago, Justice Devindra Rampersad, in a form of judicial activism, trod where local politicians have not dared and intervened in such coloniality by delivering a legal judgement upholding the challenge by Jason Jones to the nineteenth-century colonial laws in Trinidad and Tobago that criminalise homosexual relations and same-sex loving.

Abstract:

The Republic of Trinidad and Tobago is the most southerly of the Caribbean island states. Trinidad is just 14 km from the coast of Venezuela. Trinidad covers an area of 4828 km2 while Tobago, the sister isle, has an area of 300 km2. The total population is approximately 1.3 million; 40.3% of the population is of East Indian descent, 39.6% of African descent, 18.4% mixed and 1.7% belong to other ethnic groups (Central Statistical Office, 2001). St Ann's Hospital in Port of Spain, the capital, was established in 1900 and is the country's only psychiatric hospital. There are two general hospitals, one in the north, at Port of Spain, and the other in the south, at San Fernando.

Abstract:

SUMMARY In this study, we present the results from the microzonation study conducted in Port of Spain (PoS), capital of the Republic of Trinidad & Tobago. A dense grid of single-site recordings was used to determine the fundamental frequency of soil above bedrock, while a grid of 26 array recordings comprised the database for finding the 1-D shear wave velocity, with depth. The resonant frequency was found to range from <1.0 Hz, for the deeper sediments to the south, near the coast, to above 4.0 Hz, on the northern outskirts of the city, closer to the rock formations. The array data processing revealed a shear wave velocity less than 360 m s–1, for the alluvial deposits, whilst for the harder formations, the velocity was at least 1000 m s–1. To validate the results, a parametric investigation, using synthetic seismograms of ambient noise for simplified 1-D models of the PoS basin sediments, was conducted. A 3-D geological model of the basin was developed, by integrating the experimental results with the simulated data. The model suggests a gradual increase, from north to south, in sediment depth down to ∼160 m. In order to understand and explain the variation of the resonance frequency, a review of the historical development of the area, for the past 250 yr, revealed large-scale, non-engineered land reclamation in the 19th and 20th centuries, resulting in areas with anomalously high amplification of seismic motion.

Abstract:

Port of Spain (POS) functions as the administrative, political, and commercial capital of Trinidad and Tobago, attracting many commuters daily. This paper reports the first part of a two-stage process of developing a quantitative measure of the performance of the Port of Spain public transportation network. It provides insight into the key stakeholders and the needs, preferences, and satisfaction of users of the Port of Spain transportation network. The key stakeholders in the transportation network were identified and classified in a stakeholder matrix on the basis of their interest and influence. A survey was undertaken to understand the public’s perception of the transport network and the travel patterns and characteristics. The results suggest that while most trips to and within Port of Spain are completed for employment, a significant percentage is for personal business and shopping/leisure. Moreover, while the largest number of trips ended in the central business district (CBD) of Port of Spain’s most destinations are outside the CBD. Survey participants were broadly dissatisfied with the transport system, indicating strong dissatisfaction with congestion, lack of accessibility and lack of information experienced in the capital city. Indeed, a minimum of forty-four percent and a maximum of seventy-eight of respondents were either dissatisfied or very dissatisfied with some aspects of the transport system. No more than twenty-five percent, and in the case of congestion only three percent, of respondents were either satisfied or very satisfied. Although transport safety received the least negative response among the transport indicators, approximately forty-six percent of respondents were dissatisfied or very dissatisfied with it. In general, females reported more dissatisfaction with transport safety compared to men. The findings also highlighted how disadvantaged users of public transportation are with respect to ease of travel to and within the city. This paper reports on the mapping of the network and the development of a performance index.

Abstract:

Shore whaling for humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) in Trinidad represents a largely overlooked aspect of North Atlantic whaling history. Literature and archival sources were searched for information on the chronology, nature and extent of this whaling. The first shore station began operations in about 1826 on one of the islands in the Dragon’s Mouth, the strait connecting the southern Caribbean Sea with the Gulf of Paria. At least four stations were active in this area at one time or another and the maximum documented one-year catch was about 35 humpbacks. Whaling effort had begun to decline by the 1850s and was largely ended by the 1880s. Oil for domestic consumption as well as export was the main product. Removals by the shore whalers were in addition to those by American pelagic whalers who occasionally called at Port-of-Spain and whaled in the vicinity of Trinidad and along the Spanish Main. No evidence was found of organised shore whaling in Tobago.

Abstract:

In 2009, the burden of illness study for acute gastroenteritis in Trinidad and Tobago highlighted that ~10% of stool samples tested were positive for a foodborne pathogen. The study also noted that limited laboratory screening for pathogens contributed to a lack of etiology as public health hospitals only routinely tested for Salmonella and Shigella, and sometimes for Escherichia coli and Campylobacter. To better understand the foodborne pathogens responsible for acute gastroenteritis, enhanced testing using the BioFire® FilmArray® Gastrointestinal PCR panel was used to screen diarrheal stool samples for 22 pathogens from patients in 2018. The five general public health hospitals (San Fernando, Mt. Hope, Port of Spain, Sangre Grande, and Tobago) were notified of research activities and diarrheal stool samples were collected from all acute gastroenteritis patients. A total of 66 stools were screened and ~30% of samples tested positive for a foodborne pathogen. The current study showed that a much wider range of enteric pathogens were associated with acute gastroenteritis in Trinidad and Tobago than previously reported in 2009. These findings can be used by health officials to guide appropriate interventions, as well as to provide evidence for adoption of the PCR panel detection method at public health hospitals to benefit patient care.

Abstract:

This article, written by JPT Technology Editor Chris Carpenter, contains highlights of paper SPE 200926, “A New Produced-Water Management Policy for the Energy Sector of Trinidad and Tobago,” by Tushara Maharaj, Ministry of Planning and Development, and Marc Rudder, SPE, and Vyshaia Singh, Ministry of Energy and Energy Industries, et al., prepared for the 2020 SPE Trinidad and Tobago Section Energy Resources Conference, originally scheduled to be held in Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago, 29 June–1 July. The paper has not been peer reviewed. A produced-water (PW) management framework for the energy sector of Trinidad and Tobago is presented in the complete paper, forming part of an upstream-effluent management (UEM) policy. It addresses the minimization and ultimate elimination of treated and untreated PW discharge by use of an integrated management approach to ensure zero harmful discharge (ZHD) to the environment. Introduction Following implementation of the Water Pollution Rules of 2001, amended in 2007, companies operating in the upstream oil and gas industry encountered major challenges in achieving compliance with some of the parameters listed in the Second Schedule of the Water Pollution Rules. As a result, an informal committee was established in 2013 consisting of representatives from the Ministry of Energy and Energy Industries (MEEI), the Environmental Management Authority, and the Association of Upstream Operators of Trinidad and Tobago. Following these discussions, the SPE Trinidad and Tobago Section hosted an Applied Technology Workshop on oil and gas effluent dis-charge management in 2015. At this workshop, general agreement was reached that the way forward was to request the establishment of a Cabinet-appointed committee to consider the issues and recommend solutions to the Cabinet. Consequently, the Cabinet approved the UEM Committee in 2016 to review issues related to the major effluent streams from the upstream industry and provide recommendations couched within a UEM Policy. The scope of the complete paper is limited to the aspects of the Cabinet-approved UEM policy as it relates to PW. Methodology All field data used to inform the UEM policy was accessed through archived yearly production data, environmental monitoring reports, and environmental impact assessments submitted to and logged at the MEEI. To fully comprehend the complexity of the PW waste stream and how to properly manage it, an extensive literature review was conducted. For research into PW treatment technologies, consultations were held with several international developers to explore the best available technologies or best practicable environmental options (BPEO). These were supplemented by a review of technologies that could address pollutants of concern. A decision regarding the type of treatment option selected depended on many factors, including chemical composition of the inflow waste stream, desired outflow concentrations, volume of PW to be treated, and financial and spatial resources, especially for offshore facilities.

Abstract:

Claudia Vera Jones née Cumberbatch, was a Trinidad and Tobago-born journalist and activist who, at eight years old, migrated to the United States from Port of Spain, Trinidad, in the British West Indies (Boyce Davies 159). Jones’ mother and father had arrived in the United States two years earlier, in 1922, when their economic circumstances had worsened as a result of the drop in the cocoa trade, which had impoverished the West Indies and the entire Caribbean (Boyce Davies 159). Like many Black people who migrated from the West Indies, Jones’ parents hoped to find fortunes in the United States, where ‘‘gold was to be found on the streets’’ and the dreams of rearing one’s children in a ‘‘free America’’ were said to be realized (Boyce Davies 159). However, the lie of the American dream was soon revealed, as Jones, her three sisters and her parents suffered exploitation and indignity at the hands of the white families and from the legacy of Jim Crow national policy (Boyce Davies 159).

Abstract:

Cette recherche s’inscrit dans le cadre des études sur la fragmentation urbaine. Elle privilégie les notions de fermeture et de porosité pour confronter les dynamiques territoriales à l’œuvre dans deux villes caribéennes aux caractéristiques longtemps similaires : Fort-de-France, dans le département de la Martinique, et Port of Spain, capitale de la République de Trinidad et Tobago. Les fermetures délimitent et séparent, mais elles se définissent aussi par leur degré de porosité et par les mises en relation qu’elles organisent, ce que la thèse tente de souligner, d’abord, sous l’angle des paysages urbains. Quoique souvent adossées à des divisions anciennes, héritées de la ville coloniale, les fermetures se déploient sous des formes nouvelles qui sont envisagées par les pouvoirs publics, à Fort-de-France, comme une menace pour la cohésion urbaine. Cette analyse n’est pas partagée à Port of Spain où l’échelle nationale prime sur l’échelle de la ville dans les logiques gestionnaires. La thèse s’appuie notamment sur les résultats de deux enquêtes de terrain pour mieux comprendre le jeu de ces délicates articulations et désarticulations d’échelles, qui nourrissent les phénomènes de fermeture dans la ville. La première enquête met en évidence les trajectoires divergentes de deux quartiers situés sur les marges sociales et spatiales des deux villes, Volga Plage et Sea Lots, dans un contexte de redéfinition des limites entre ville, mer et port. La seconde enquête, réalisée auprès de 228 écoliers, permet de confronter les modalités de gestion par le haut des fermetures dans la ville aux pratiques et aux aspirations des habitants
This research falls within the scope of urban fragmentation studies. It focuses on the notions of barriers and porosities to confront urban change patterns in two Caribbean cities that used to have similar characteristics: Fort-de-France, in the French oversea department of Martinique, and Port of Spain, capital city of Trinidad and Tobago. Barriers delineate and separate, but they are also defined by their level of porousness and by the links that they organize, as this research intends to show, by first studying urban landscapes. Although barriers often stem from former divisions inherited from the colonial city, they manifest themselves in new forms which are regarded as a threat to urban cohesion by local authorities in Fort-de-France. This analysis is not shared by authorities in Port of Spain where the national scale dominates the scale of the city in terms of urban management. This thesis is mainly based on the results of two field studies that highlight the interplay of subtle articulations and disarticulation of scales, which may hinder or support the production of barriers in the city. The first survey examines the divergent prospects faced by two neighborhoods located on the social and spatial margins of both cities, Volga Plage and Sea Lots, in the context of redefining boundaries between the city, the sea and the port. The second survey, conducted with 228 school children, leads to question ongoing interactions between official responses to urban barriers and the inhabitants’ spatial practices and aspirations

Abstract:

The thesis sought to uncover how the Notting Hill Carnival, which has its roots in the small island of Trinidad, was imported, established and became embedded firstly in its host community of Notting Hill and the later on the city of London - in the United Kingdom (UK). It also explored the specific ways in which the event then went on to play an integral role in a host of UK, European and other “Trinidad-style” carnivals across the globe. The thesis also sought to establish an overall process for the Notting Hill Carnival’s internationalisation. It utilised a combination of 28 interviews and a range of documents from both archival sources and interviewees to develop a nested case study of the Notting Hill Carnival from the period 1964-2013. It used international business theory and actor-network theory to code and analyse the data in order to uncover new insights from the festival’s international dimensions. The findings indicate that the Notting Hill Carnival was adapted from an existing festival and was then continuously reinvented or reframed to match changing local conditions. Its establishment and continued growth has been fuelled mainly by a combination of local public and private sector investments, as well as imports from Trinidad and exports to Western Europe by the cultural organisations which participate in the event. Its internationalisation has been marked by four distinct but overlapping phases – pre-internationalisation, inward internationalisation, adaptation/embedding and outward internationalisation, which are responsible for its continuous reinvention, keeping the fifty-year old festival as relevant and culturally significant, if not more so, as it when it first began.

Abstract:

This paper examines the privatization and transhipment success at Freeport Container Port (FCP), Bahamas and Port of Port-of-Spain, Trinidad and Tobago (PPS). The thesis links port development and growth to the divergent governance structures of these two ports that share similar geographic advantages. FCP is located at the north-eastern apex of the transhipment triangle and is an example of a wholly private port, which is owned and operated by Hutchison Port Holdings (HPH), a subsidiary of Hutchison Whampoa. HPH is in a unique situation where they also act as the local government and own large expanses of land and an airport. This unparalleled level of private self-determination has allowed HPH to develop FCP into a very successful transhipment facility. PPS, on the other hand, has been struggling while its competitors continue to gain despite its strategic position at the south-eastern apex of the "Caribbean Transhipment Triangle." PPS, until recently, was owned and operated by Trinidad and Tobago's public port authority. Its restructuring program had lasted 13 years and did not meet the goals of the government. The traffic growth at PPS has paled in comparison to FCP, and the governance structures have played a key role in these differences.

Abstract:

This study examined whether there was a link between school context, teachers' knowledge, mastery of ICT, and the factors perceived by teachers during the integration of ICT in their classrooms. One hundred teachers at the early childhood and middle school levels, in the Port-of-Spain and Environs School District, Trinidad and Tobago, participated in this study. The data was analyzed using SPSS, Version 22 Software. The results, using 1-way ANOVA, revealed no significant differences between the main factors (p = 5%) as perceived by teachers, hindering the use and integration of ICT into their lessons: insufficient instructional support [F (6, 88) = 0.45, p =0.0843]; inadequate hardware and software support [F (6, 88) = 0.47, p = 0.0830]; ICT literacy restrictions [F (6, 88) = 1.13, p = 0.350]; and limited leadership at the level of the school [F (6, 88) = 0.86, p = 0.529]. Despite these results, teachers continue to perceive these factors as hindrances to the integration of ICT in the teaching/learning process, which could have implications for ICT integration decision making in schools.

Abstract:

This chapter examines the rise and development of calypso in Trinidad. Trinidad is a rich site to explore issues of diaspora and historical development in the Caribbean since the island has the dubious distinction of being subject to all the major imperial powers in the region. Calypso is quintessentially urban, developed in the late 19^th century through the intermingling of the largely once-rural proletariat, unemployed and under-employed ex-slaves, and formerly indentured Africans and other Creoles in the burgeoning city of Port-of-Spain. The music emerged from and was developed in the barrack yards, stick-fights, carnival tents, and city streets, and became a national music and symbol. This period is also one in which the economic penetration of the British into the island was transformed into formal political and ideological control, thus illuminating inter-imperialist rivalries and transformations, and the complications of political transition in a “plural society.”

Abstract:

Parking challenges and problems are prominent worldwide as well as in Trinidad and Tobago. The capital city of Trinidad, Port Of Spain, is a major area where these challenges are experienced as there are approximately 30% of the population who venture into the city on a daily basis during the week. Worldwide trends involve the utilization of Internet of Things (IoT) platforms expected to alleviate parking challenges by implementation of contemporary parking models such as a smart parking system (SPS). This study investigated feasibility for implementation of a SPS in Port Of Spain. In this study, a Discrete Event Simulation (DES) modelling approach was used to simulate real-life scenarios of the standard parking and a proposed SPS model for a facility chosen in Port Of Spain. These simulation models were executed effectively and results were validated. Verifications were done by comparing how the models worked, to the existing parking facility. Models were then validated using the Chi-squared statistic to determine if there were any statistical difference between developed models and actual statistic. The proposed SPS will reduce driver frustration in finding a vacant parking spot, fuel usage and also reduce environmental degradation.

Abstract:

In Trinidad and Tobago (T&T), teachers often complain about the quality of service offered by the Ministry of Education (MOE). They generally describe it as poor because of the delays incurred during the processing of most requests. Poor service to customers (teachers) of an organisation implies a productivity deficiency. At MOE, requests made by teachers can turn into long waiting for the process to be completed or issues to be resolved. This has become a burden to teachers who are left to suffer the consequences as it appears little is being done to improve the system. To investigate the challenges associated with productivity issues and quality management (QM) practices at the MOE Port of Spain (POS) Office, a recent study was undertaken comprising of site visits and interviews with stakeholders (MOE staff and teachers) with the aid of online surveys. This paper presents the main findings of the survey, aiming to explore issues concerning QM processes, and identify the factors affecting the provision of quality services to teachers. The current quality culture and leadership styles of the MOE-POS Office would be addressed. The paper concludes by underlining the mechanisms of employee empowerment enabling a path to attain productivity/quality improvement, specifically for processing common requests or resolving issues at the MOE-POS Office.

Full text

Abstract:

This paper describes the process used by the Power Generation Company of Trinidad and Tobago (PowerGen) to estimate the range of major (expenditures greater than US$50,000) recurring and non-recurring costs that can be expected to be incurred from 2006–2025 by PowerGen’s three existing generating facilities: Port of Spain, Point Lisas and Penal. Since many of these Capital and O&M costs are not 100% certain, a probabilistic approach was used that incorporates a Monte Carlo methodology. The results of this approach allowed PowerGen to better understand the range of possible major capital and O&M expenditures that would likely be required over the next 20 years along with a quantification of the risk profile of those ranges. By adding these costs to the routine O&M costs, a total cost cash flow timeline was able to be developed that more realistically forecast the actual financial requirements of PowerGen’s power plants. Periodic review and updates of the data will also provide PowerGen with a continuing sound basis for long term technical and financial decisions. Additionally, a benchmarking analysis was performed that compared the reliability trends of similar but older technologies to those plants in PowerGen’s fleet in order to gain an insight into the reliability expectations for PowerGen plants over the next twenty years.

Full text

Abstract:

Abstract Objectives/Scope Downhole Annular Barrier (DAB) systems employed in intervention can correct integrity and conformance control issues during well lifecycle, extending the productive term in a safe and costeffective manner. These emergent wireline technologies come with unique challenges for logistics, quality control, and engineering, but can also provide solutions to difficult problems, with high value to spend ratio, in the non-rig intervention sector. The paper will review one such successful intervention, completed offshore Trinidad W.I., in a gas well presenting long term Sustained Casing Pressure (SCP). The desired end state of the well was A-Annulus at 0 psi SCP, which would return the well to a safe state and permit a planned infrastructure project to move ahead. Methods, Procedures, Process Operational objective was isolation of the casing annulus pressure from the source by injecting epoxy into the annular space at depth, forming a 360-degree pressure barrier. The project can be broken down into three main sections. The paper and presentation will address each section with its specific challenges, learnings, and outcomes: Onshore Epoxy and Tool Preparation Each Downhole Annular Barrier job employs a custom recipe epoxy suited to the planned logistics timing and expected bottomhole conditions. Quality control of the epoxy recipe and mixing process as well as temperature control of the batch after mixing is key to the sealing properties of the final epoxy plug. • An Epoxy Lab and Mixing Station was dismantled, air freighted, and reconstituted in Trinidad near to the field operations port. Special insulated offshore CCU were built to transport and contain filled epoxy canisters while maintaining low temperature requirements (near to 0 deg C for up to 30 days). • Build and System Integration Testing (SIT) of the downhole system (anchoring, stroking, hydraulic testing, perforation, and injection) with the electric line system (conveyance, telemetry, power). Offshore Job Execution The DAB system employed is designed to complete multiple operations in a single trip into the well, including perforating and high-pressure epoxy injection, with precise position control and monitoring. This is made possible with the multi-function modular tool. The operation was dynamic by design and contingencies were implemented based on the well response. Multiple epoxy annular plugs were placed into the A Annulus at depth, with high pressure injection. Results, Observations, Conclusions Well Response and Assessment Utilizing advanced annular surface monitoring technology and PvT analysis, precise assessment of the annulus pressure build was recorded throughout the operation. Once the project criteria were met, the operation was successfully concluded.

Full text

Abstract:

Development projects have a wider set of impacts than just direct project outputs. A hydropower dam, for example, produces electricity but also disrupts river flows and may affect biodiversity and the general aquatic environment. A new port development may affect coastal resources such as mangroves and coral reefs. Coal-fired power plants affect both the local and the global environments through emissions of ash and dust (affecting mostly the local environment) as well as greenhouse gases (affecting the global environment). Sewage and sanitation projects provide new services to consumers but also change the quantity and quality of wastewater released into the environment. An enhanced economic analysis allows this wider range of impacts -both benefits and costs- to be taken into account. This approach follows the IDB's operational directives (OP 703, Directives B.5 and B.9) and is explained in an IDB Technical Note IDB-TN-428 (Dixon, 2012). This paper builds upon existing analyses of four recent IDB projects to apply this approach. The projects selected for this study deal with the water sector and range in monetary value from US$9.5 million (Guyana) to US$246.5 million (Trinidad and Tobago), with Paraguay (US$20 million) and Uruguay (US$118.6 million) in between.

Abstract:

This report summarizes the discussions and presents working group reports and papers presented at the Seminar/Workshop on Integrated Water resources Management: Institutional and Policy Reform held on June 24th-27th, 1997 in Port-of-Spain, Trinidad. Based on progress to date, the seminar/workshop sought to promote integrated approaches to water resources management in the Caribbean by: 1) developing a common understanding among the cross-sectoral country team members of the water resources management challenges of the region; 2) sharing relevant water resources management experiences; 3) identifying and discussing priority areas requiring immediate action; and 4) recommending specific steps to address them. The seminar/workshop targeted cross-sectoral country teams and representatives from water and sewerage authorities, ministries of Agriculture, Environment, Health, Planning and Finance from 22 Caribbean countries. Four key areas for action were identified: public awareness and education, institutional coordination, water resources policy and legislation and innovative financing.
