Impact of online privacy concerns and brand reputation on consumer willingness to provide personal information
No full textThe aim of this research was to identify the role of brand reputation in encouraging consumer willingness to provide personal data online, for the benefits of personalisation. This study extends on Malhotra, Kim and Agarwal’s (2004) Internet Users Information Privacy Concerns Model, and uses the theoretical underpinning of Social Contract Theory to assess how brand reputation moderates the relationship between trusting beliefs and perceived value (Privacy Calculus framework) with willingness to give personal information. The research is highly relevant as most privacy research undertaken to date focuses on consumer related concerns. Very little research exists examining the role of brand reputation and online privacy. Practical implications of this research include gaining knowledge as to how to minimise online privacy concerns; improve brand reputation; and provide insight on how to reduce consumer resistance to the collection of personal information and encourage consumer opt-in

No full text In the fall of 1996, FORUM published an article by S. W. Ng, R. Esmail, W. J. Sibbald and G. S. Doig. The title of the article was “Potential savings involved in the purchase of low cost, high volume medical commodities as established from a community hospital survey.” ( Healthcare Management FORUM 1996;9[4]:24–29.) Gordon S. Doig was mistakenly described in the author biography as Gordon S. Doig, DVM, MSc, PhD. At the time of publication, Mr. Doig was in fact a PhD candidate and had not yet achieved his PhD. Mr. Doig's correct academic title (in both 1996 and as of today) is Gordon S. Doig, BSc, DVM, MSc. FORUM apologizes for any inconvenience this error might have caused him. </jats:p
Evaluation of an occupation-based metacognitive intervention targeting awareness, executive function and goal-related outcomes after traumatic brain injury using single-case experimental design methodology
No full textSelf-awareness is commonly impaired after traumatic brain injury and impacts on rehabilitation engagement and community re-integration outcomes. Interventions which incorporate metacognitive strategy instruction have the potential to improve rehabilitation engagement and outcomes. This study aimed to determine whether an occupation-based intervention incorporating metacognitive strategy instruction resulted in goal achievement and improved online awareness and executive function performance during goal-related tasks. A single-case experimental design using a multiple-baseline design across behaviours was used with two participants with severe traumatic brain injury to evaluate the effectiveness of the 6-week intervention. Repeated measures of goal-related performance, percentage of self-corrected errors and executive function were made via independent analysis of video footage and documentation logs. Data analysis involved 2SD bandwidth analysis and overlap data, reliable change index and evaluation of goal achievement across phases. There were improvements in self-corrected errors for one participant, which were maintained. Significant reductions in anxiety (RCI = ±5.98) were evident for both participants, with a significant reduction in stress (RCI = ±7.05) for one participant following the intervention. The occupation-based intervention incorporating metacognitive strategy instruction led to improvements compared to baseline performance in some targeted goals, online awareness and executive function performance during goal-related tasks and reduced stress and anxiety
Turning Up the Māori: The Showband Mix-O-Matic App
No full textMāori showband music is an important part of New Zealand’s musical past. Mostly ignored by scholars, Māori showbands were highly popular during the 1950s-1970s. The Māori showbands developed their particular form of entertainment in New Zealand, but toured extensively throughout Europe, Asia and Australia. They brought together elements of traditional Māori music, popular music of the day, and distinctive Māori humour to the world’s stages.
This Masters in Studio Production exegesis develops the song ‘Poi Poi Twist’ by Rim D Paul and the Quin Tikis into an iPad application. ‘Poi Poi Twist’ was recorded by Eldred Stebbings for his Zodiac label. Zodiac released ‘Poi Poi Twist’ in 1963 as a b-side .
This exegesis explains the development process taken to bring the Showband Mix-O-Matic iPad app to the prototype stage for testing. The prototype development process included re-recording the audio in the recording studio, as well as designing the app’s user interface and testing the app in a classroom context. The Showband Mix-O-Matic app uses re-recorded stems of the song ‘Poi Poi Twist’ for users to remix within the app. Users can manipulate the audio within the app, creating new music that still references the original song.
The Showband Mix-O-Matic app engages and entertains users by bringing to life the Māori Showbands’ legacy for the touchscreen generation. It uses an iPad app to create a meaningful learning experience. This exegesis aims to highlight the need for Māori music resources apps and how harnessing current IOS technology can fill this need.
The Showband Mix-O-Matic will be available for downloading from the iTunes App Store from July 9th 2016.
