Meniscus Volume 4 Issue 2
Get PDFMeniscus is a literary journal, published and supported by the Australasian Association of Writing
Programs (AAWP) with editors from the United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand.
The title of the journal was the result of a visit made by two of the editors to the National
Gallery of Australia in Canberra, where James Turrell’s extraordinary installation, ‘Within
without’ (2010), led them to think about how surfaces, curves, tension and openness interact. In
particular, they were struck by the way in which the surface of the water features, and the
uncertainty of the water’s containment, seems to analogise the excitement and anxiety inherent in
creative practice, and the delicate balance between possibility and impossibility that
is found in much good writing
rpiCOOL: A Tool for In Silico RNA–Protein Interaction Detection Using Random Forest
No full textUnderstanding the principle of RNA–protein interactions (RPIs) is of critical importance to provide insights into post-transcriptional gene regulation and is useful to guide studies about many complex diseases. The limitations and difficulties associated with experimental determination of RPIs, call an urgent need to computational methods for RPI prediction. In this paper, we proposed a machine learning method to detect RNA–protein interactions based on sequence information. We used motif information and repetitive patterns, which have been extracted from experimentally validated RNA–protein interactions, in combination with sequence composition as descriptors to build a model to RPI prediction via a random forest classifier. About 20% of the “sequence motifs” and “nucleotide composition” features have been selected as the informative features with the feature selection methods. These results suggest that these two feature types contribute effectively in RPI detection. Results of 10-fold cross-validation experiments on three non-redundant benchmark datasets show a better performance of the proposed method in comparison with the current state-of-the-art methods in terms of various performance measures. In addition, the results revealed that the accuracy of the RPI prediction methods could vary considerably across different organisms. We have implemented the proposed method, namely rpiCOOL, as a stand-alone tool with a user friendly graphical user interface (GUI) that enables the researchers to predict RNA–protein interaction.

Diversity Data Explorer - The New Wave Exhibition, Waikato Museum
Get PDFThis project used free census demographic data to create an interactive data visualization. The visualisation allowed users to select data sets on a touch screen which were then projected as coloured bar graphs onto the rooftops of a miniature suburb. Two graphs were selectable and were always compared the the data of the city as a whole. The work was created in collaboration with Simon Nicholls. The projection screen was actually a three dimensional miniature suburb created using 3d modelling and laser cut sculptures
The Waikato Matrix
No full textThe Waikato Matrix was a prototype experiment which tested the interactive IT infrastructure of a sensor mesh network in the live setting of a black box theater. Participants wandered around a maze created by theater blacks suspended from the rigging. The semi-dark space was filled with haze and participant's movements triggered sound, lighting and mechanical actuation (sirens, an overhead glitter drop, audience blinders, LED lighting etc.)
This work was partially successful, but suffered from multiple sound card failures, and a lack of funding
Evaluation of professional supervision in Aotearoa/New Zealand: An interprofessional study.
No full textThe evaluation of professional supervision has been a focus for discussion in the supervision literature over past decades. A review of the literature in this area, however, suggests that evaluation has been differently defined, variously addressed, and a range of outcomes reported. The present study reports the findings of the first stage of a three-stage study of evaluation in professional supervision in Aotearoa/New Zealand. Experienced practitioners from the four professions of counselling, mental health nursing, psychology, and social work were interviewed to explore how evaluation in professional supervision is understood and actioned in practice. Twenty four semistructured interviews were conducted with supervisees, supervisors, and managers from each of the identified professions. The findings from these interviews indicate that a majority of participants applied some form of evaluation to their supervision arrangement. These evaluations, however, did not reflect an overarching organizational or professional culture of formal evaluation, but rather, an individualized ad-hoc process initiated by one or both of the participants (supervisor and supervisee). These evaluations focussed predominantly on the process, rather than the outcomes, of supervision. While many respondents expressed interest in a formal process for evaluating supervision, a number of concerns were also raised. These concerns included a lack of evaluation skills and resource, the potential for formal evaluation to have a negative impact on the supervision relationship, the importance of maintaining the boundaries of confidentiality, and a wariness regarding the possible use of any information gathered

A cross-sectional study of breech birth in New Zealand, 2000-2014. Masters Project
Get PDFAbstract
Background: Breech birth has been a controversial topic since the mid-twentieth century. The publication of a randomised controlled trial dubbed the Term Breech Trial in 2000 dramatically altered practice internationally when it published findings that vaginal breech birth is unsafe and that elective caesarean section should be the recommended mode of birth. Since 2000 there has been a rapid decline in vaginal breech birth despite further robust research finding no statistical significance in significant neonatal outcomes. This has had negative implications to both maternal health and mid and long-term neonatal outcomes, as well on health economics and health literacy levels on a complex multifactorial issue. Methods: A cross-sectional study was undertaken analysing anonymous data from the National Minimum Dataset from 2000- 2014. Epi Info 7 was used to perform statistical analysis. Results: The incidence of breech birth in New Zealand from 2000-2014 was 3.1%, vaginal breech birth being achieved in less than 0.5% of all births in 2015. The incidence of breech birth increases with parity. Being of Maori, Pacific or of Asian descent is protective against breech birth RR=0.53 (95% CI 0.50-0.54), RR=0.75(95% CI 0.72-0.79), and RR=0.94 (95% CI 0.90-0.98) respectively. There was a trend of increasing length of hospital stay with breech birth compared to all births. Conclusion: Breech birth services need to be reviewed to reflect current and robust research that is focused on women centred care and informed choices. In updating health policies and clinical guidelines affecting breech presentation and birth it is imperative to promote collaborative practice, continuing education and development of both clinical skills and theory on breech presentation (including ECV services) and birth
