Ihirangaranga.
Vibrations.
The movements within a sound. The movements within the stars.
This event brings together musicians Horomona Horo and Jeremy Mayall, spoken word artist Michael Moore, and visual artist Regan Balzer for a live multimedia performance in reflection of Matariki.
These artists will collaborate in real-time to create a truly unique experience that draws upon cultural concepts, as well as abstract explorations and personal reflections to explore Matariki through a multi-artform experience
Frosted Air Suite
No full textThe piece is in three movements and is a sonic reflection on the natural world of New Zealand/ Aotearoa in winter.
"Rich with the sound of birds and flowing water, the stark cold of winter can at times both amplify and subdue the sounds around us. The electronic part consists of synthetic sound, field recordings made around the Otago peninsula, and recordings of taonga puoro played by Alistair Fraser," says Mayall.

Towards a method and a guiding tool for conducting process mining projects
Get PDFDue to the increased use of information systems by organizations, information on the execution of processes is recorded. This enables using process mining as a tool for improving process performance. Process mining allows gaining insights regarding actual processes by extracting and processing data from existing systems. Many projects have been conducted for process discovery, conformance checking, etc. Despite of the existence of general methods for data analysis, there’s a lack of specific methods to support process mining projects. Thus, completions of such projects are often dependent on
expertise of the analysts. This paper presents a detailed method for conducting process mining projects and a tool for supporting its execution and retaining the outcomes of each step. A case is analysed for evaluating them. Organizations seeking process performance improvement can get benefit from a method that states how process mining techniques can be used in process mining projects

Perceptual cognizance and the role of the spectator in the work of James Turrell and Olafur Eliasson.
No full textMy Master of Arts project was an exploration of light and space, investigating how these elements can inform or deceive visual perception. My dissertation discusses the work of James Turrell and Olafur Eliasson, considering how their works explore the perception of light and space. My work and dissertation also consider the vital role of the spectator who co-produces the work through their own perceptual interpretations of light and space
Te Whāriki Kiokio - Te Ruru light festival 2019
Get PDFThis interactive installation consists of 3 digital tukutuku panels which are rear-projected onto a screen. The viewer is presented with 3 foot pates, each with a unique tukutuku symbol. When stepped on, it activates an animated digital tukutuku design. At the same time, it activates a sound associated with the specific panel designs. These sound are either recordings of Māori instruments (purerehua, kōauau, etc.), Māori speech (whaikōrero) or Māori chants (waiata). One can be activated at one time and as soon as another metallic symbol is pressed the current panel turns off and the new one is activated. This work is an adaption of an earlier work shown at Wellington LUX Festival 2017, and the Bruce Mason Centre in 2018.
Co-designer Stacey Tangaere: 'Te Whāriki Kiokio came from a passion to see traditional Māori art fused with a modern art form. As I went on this journey I visited Pakowhai Marae and quickly became interested in the tukutuku panels. These panels quickly caught my attention as they have always been there but they are often ignored in the space. So much hard work and meaning has gone into every piece of flax yet to many they are almost viewed as wallpaper. Traditionally Māori learnt with their hands, through touching and feeling.'
The idea behind this interactive installation is that as you trigger the panels you will not only feel moved by the experience but you will also leave educated. The audio is used to enhance the experience of Te Whāriki Kiokio with unique sounds developed to tautoko (support) the meaning of each tukutuku
Missed nursing care in newborn units: A cross- sectional direct observational study
Get PDFBackground Improved hospital care is needed
to reduce newborn mortality in low/middle-income
countries (LMIC). Nurses are essential to the delivery of
safe and effective care, but nurse shortages and high
patient workloads may result in missed care. We aimed
to examine nursing care delivered to sick newborns and
identify missed care using direct observational methods.
Methods A cross-sectional study using directobservational methods for 216 newborns admitted in six
health facilities in Nairobi, Kenya, was used to determine
which tasks were completed. We report the frequency
of tasks done and develop a nursing care index (NCI),
an unweighted summary score of nursing tasks done for
each baby, to explore how task completion is related to
organisational and newborn characteristics.
Results Nursing tasks most commonly completed were
handing over between shifts (97%), checking and where
necessary changing diapers (96%). Tasks with lowest
completion rates included nursing review of newborns
(38%) and assessment of babies on phototherapy (15%).
Overall the mean NCI was 60% (95% CI 58% to 62%),
at least 80% of tasks were completed for only 14%
of babies. Private sector facilities had a median ratio
of babies to nurses of 3, with a maximum of 7 babies
per nurse. In the public sector, the median ratio was 19
babies and a maximum exceeding 25 babies per nurse. In
exploratory multivariable analyses, ratios of ≥12 babies
per nurse were associated with a 24-point reduction in
the mean NCI compared with ratios of ≤3 babies per
nurse.
Conclusion A significant proportion of nursing care is
missed with potentially serious effects on patient safety
and outcomes in this LMIC setting. Given that nurses
caring for fewer babies on average performed more of
the expected tasks, addressing nursing is key to ensuring
delivery of essential aspects of care as part of improving
quality and safety
What do they do all day? Exploring the complexity of early childhood teachers' work
Get PDFA discussion on the findings of a study with 22 teachers . Using time use diaries they wrote down their activities of a given day. A taxonomy developed by Charles Sturt University in Australia was used to code and analyse the activities. This is a report on the initial pilot with the next step to use a mobile app on a wider group of teachers in Aotearoa New Zealand
