Ko te matou kaiga tenei
No full textIn 1966, my grandparents and five of their children migrated from Tokelau to New Zealand. They have resided in our family homestead in Māngere East since 1970. Ko te matou kaiga tenei is a moving image based project that examines the influence New Zealand culture has on my family’s Tokelauan heritage. Through Talanoa, as a research methodology, I examine our family stories, land, experiences and cultural history. The stories are not only for my family and me, but also for other audiences to share an understanding of the Tokelauan culture. Considered through Linda Tuhiwai Smith’s decolonization framework, my project utilises claiming, storytelling and celebrates cultural survival; the survival of my family and their Tokelauan protocols, despite being physically away from the land. It is the merging of two cultures and telling a story – an old story, with a new twist

The people behind the papers – Jason Ko and Daniel Lobo
No full textPlanarians grow when they are fed and shrink during periods of starvation. However, it is unclear how they maintain appropriate body proportions as their size changes. A new paper in Development investigates the differences between growth and shrinkage dynamics and builds a mathematical model to explore the mechanisms underpinning these two processes. To learn more about the story behind the paper, we caught up with first author, Jason Ko, and corresponding author, Daniel Lobo, Associate Professor at the University of Maryland.https://doi.org/10.1242/dev.20298
Organizational Learning and Marketing Capability Development: A Study of Charity Retailing Operation of British Social Enterprises
No full textSocial enterprise is a hybrid form of profit- and social benefit-seeking organization whereby traditional nonprofit organizations pursue both their social mission and business opportunities. To embrace this new strategic direction shift, the nonprofit organizations need to develop new competences that will enable them to respond to the changes in the business model. The article investigates the learning mechanisms through which social enterprises develop a marketing capability to deploy their resources in the marketplace as the drivers of competitive advantage in their commercial practice. We study eight cases of UK-based charity retailers, in order to address the role of knowledge accumulation, articulation and codification process in the evolution of marketing capability development. We identify, amongst other things that the critical process of organizational learning for social enterprise is to transfer the experience into organization specific knowledge under the social aspects of constraints

A new species of deep-water triplefin (Pisces: Tripterygiidae) in the genus Ruanoho from coastal New Zealand waters
No full textA new endemic species of triplefin Ruanoho scurra is described from deep water (108-216 m) on the shelf region around coastal New Zealand (Northland to Stewart Island). It is differentiated from its congeners by the combination of fresh colour (bright yellow spots on the head and anterior body, oblique lines on the dorsal and anal fins, and sub-vertical lines on the caudal) as well as some proportional measurements. Comments are made on the relationship with its congeners, and evolutionary history of the family in New Zealand waters, along with observations on the habitat in which this new species is found. This paper formally describes the species first mentioned in Stewart & Clements 2015:1523 as the polkadot triplefin.Kua whakamaramatia tetahi momo tira-toru taketake hou, ara, ko te Ruanoho scarra, no nga wai uriuri (108-216 m) i nga takiwa pukawa a-tai huri noa i nga tai o Aotearoa (Muriwhenua ki Rakiura).

Ko au te whenua, te whenua ko au – I am the land, the land is me: An autoethnographic investigation of a secondary school teacher’s experience seeking to enrich learning in outdoor education for Māori students.
No full textThis thesis is my story as an outdoor educator, as a researcher, and a co-participant reflecting on my own actions and experiences as well as those of my students. In this autoethnography I share my revelations and tensions in my role as an outdoor education teacher seeking to enrich the experiences of Māori students. Māori culture and history have largely been ignored in the outdoor education classrooms and environments of Aotearoa New Zealand. After teaching the subject for ten years I didn’t perceive that I was perpetuating the same invisibility in my own outdoor education course. Over this time a number of questions that had fermented at the back of my mind came to the fore; ‘why are so few Māori students opting to take outdoor education as a senior secondary school subject?’ and ‘how can I make the subject of outdoor education more desirable and appealing to Māori?’ A place-responsive approach incorporates and values traditional ways of learning through the notion of place and the stories attached to them. The cultural context of learning about and through place has the potential to provide learning opportunities that are relevant and meaningful to all learners but particularly Māori. Place-responsive pedagogies allow outdoor educators to create an environment where language, knowledge, culture and values are normal, valid and legitimate – contexts where Māori students can be themselves. Through this research I have found that the implementation of a place responsive approach has had significant implications for Year twelve outdoor education at Mount Maunganui College. The improvement in Māori student achievement and numbers selecting the subject have been affirming.

Te waiata tangi a Rangiuia : he kaupapa tuhi hei tutuki i nga tikanga o te tohu matauranga Pukenga Toitikanga o Nga Kaupapa Maori Te Whare Wananga o Manawatu
No full textText written in MaoriHe whainga kaupapa tenei mahi, he hokihokinga ki nga puwananga, ki nga ruamatauranga o te po. Ko te take, ko te whai, ko te hopu, ko te mau i tenei mea te matauranga, hei titi ake i runga i te mahuna Maori. Hei aha hoki ?; hei korero, hei wananga, hei whakamana hoki i te hinengaro Maori, i te korero a te Maori i te ao nei. Heoi tenei au te hokai nei i taku tapuae ki nga huarahi, ki nga huanui i whaia ai e Pu ma, e Rua ma, e Matau ma, e Tohunga ma. Me kore ake ka taea te timotimo atu ki nga mokamoka korero kua mahue muri mai; kati auatu, kaore e taea te aha, me whai-a-mua. Ko te kaupapa o tenei korero, he ata wananga i te waiata tangi a Rangiuia o Te Aitanga a Hauiti, o te whare wananga o Te Rawheoro, Uawa, Tairawhiti. Ko te take hei whakautu i te patai nei; i whakanuia peheatia a Te Rawheoro e te waiata tangi a Rangiuia, kia noho ai hei whare wananga whaimana i te rohe o Te Tairawhiti ? Ko taku e mea nei, i whaimana a Te Rawheoro mai rano i te po, tatu iho ki te wa i a Rangiuia ma, ki enei ra hoki. No te mutunga o te wananga ka noho ko tona tangi hei taonga, hei tauira korero mo nga kaupapa o Te Rawheoro, na reira i whaimana hoki i te wa e ngarongaro haere ana, e pokia ana nga korero a te whare wananga
KNOWLEDGE ACCUMULATION IN ASIAN PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION RESEARCH: A CRITICAL REVIEW
No full textGiven the growing controversy over the relevance of Anglo-Saxon style public administration to developing countries and a greater demand for more context-relevant theories of public administration in Asia, we should expect that Asian scholars achieve a certain level of knowledge growth in line with this controversy and demand. On the basis of the review of 8810 articles published in nine major international journals during 1990-2011, the author found that the number of articles on Asian public administration is very small, and there is no strong pattern of growth in this regard. In addition, there are very few studies adopting a comparative approach covering multiple Asian countries. Copyright (c) 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.N
