Demography of nineteenth century New Zealand education: gender and regional differences in school retention
No full textThis thesis examines the progress of pupils through New Zealand schools in the last two decades of the nineteenth century and the first decade of the twentieth century. The purpose of this study was to apply demographic techniques to primary historical education data to enable the progress of pupils to be quantified and to allow comparisons to be made among different Education Districts and longitudinally over a period of some three decades.
The present work applies demographic methods using cohort and period analyses to overcome difficulties in direct comparisons of historical education data because of differences in population structure and differing examination pass rates in various Education Districts. This approach allows the determination of retention rates of pupils both by age and by level from Standard 4 to Standard 6 using primary data from the nineteenth century. In addition, gender differences in retention by age are analysed from the 1880s to the end of the first decade of the twentieth century. Previous published work considered school attendance only in general terms and usually on a national basis, but generally without analysing specific educational data on gender differences.
Studies prior to the present work have suggested that in the nineteenth century Education Districts differed in school enrolments (Hodder, 1996) and it is thus likely that there were differences in school retention of pupils between various Education Districts. Pilot research to the present work developed demographic methods for studying retention of pupil populations allowing for changes in the number and structure of the pupils populations over time (Hodder, 2005). These pilot methods are applied in the present research to study pupil retention in all thirteen Education Districts over the approximately 30 years from the 1880s. In addition to age and level cohorts, gender differences are analysed. Direct comparisons among all Education Districts and over time are now possible.
This study has used a novel approach to the analysis of historical education data. The results enable comparisons to be made among all thirteen Education Districts and across several decades; such comparisons have not previously been possible and will facilitate future research on the possible factors affecting pupil retention particularly in relation to employment opportunities for school leavers and differences according to gender.

Irrigation water quality for greenhouse horticulture
No full textWater, in terms of both quantity and quality, is crucial to the success of horticulture greenhouse production. As water supplies are often limited, it is necessary to use low quality water for irrigation purposes. This is particularly true in Mediterranean countries, where growers increasingly face problems associated with low quality water. In this chapter the most important water physical and chemical quality parameters are discussed. These include pH, alkalinity and salinity. Furthermore, a review of the criteria for water quality assessment is presented. Water tests to be conducted prior to selecting a greenhouse site are also briefly described with reference to the official methods of water analysis. The presence of high soluble salts in irrigation water is one of the most limiting factors in greenhouse crop production. As an alternative to using seawater – a common practice in some Mediterranean areas (e.g. Almería, Spain) – wastewater from industrial processes or lower grade water from wells contaminated by seawater infiltrations can be used. Management and agronomic techniques that may be used to combat some of the problems associated with the use of these “waters” are discussed, including methods to correct poor quality irrigation water

Soilless Culture
No full textSoilless culture can be defined as “any method of growing plants without the use
of soil as a rooting medium, in which the inorganic nutrients absorbed by the
roots are supplied via the irrigation water”. The fertilizers containing the nutrients
to be supplied to the crop are dissolved in the appropriate concentration in the
irrigation water and the resultant solution is referred to as “nutrient solution”

Rabbi Jonathan Sacks' 2021 Book The Power of Ideas, and Walter J. Ong's Thought
No full textSee the above abstract.In my 3,350-word review essay "Rabbi Jonathan Sacks' 2021 Book The Power of Ideas, and Walter J. Ong's Thought," I highlight the late Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks' 2021 collection of 91 essays titled The Power of Ideas: Words of Faith and Wisdom (Hodder & Stoughton). At times, I connect certain ideas that I highlight with the relevant thought of the American Jesuit Renaissance specialist and pioneer media ecology theorist Walter J. Ong (1912-2003; Ph.D. in English, Harvard University, 1955).N/AFarrell, Thomas. (2023). Rabbi Jonathan Sacks' 2021 Book The Power of Ideas, and Walter J. Ong's Thought.
