New Halogenated Secondary Metabolites from Red Algae of the South Pacific
Authors:   , Woolner Victoria
Published: November 2021

An NMR- and MS-directed study led to the isolation and structure elucidation of several halogenated secondary metabolites from a New Zealand and a Tongan red alga. An extensive investigation was carried out on the New Zealand red alga Rhodophyllis membranacea following mass spectrometric evidence for an unusual tetrahalogenated indole with the exceptionally rare inclusion of bromine, chlorine and iodine within a fraction of a semi-purified extract. Due to the difficulty associated with the structure elucidation of proton deficient molecules, a strategic isolation and structure elucidation of several polyhalogenated indoles was employed in order to unequivocally assign the halogen positions on the indolic core. This resulted in the isolation and characterisation of 11 new tetrahalogenated indoles (123–133), four of which contain bromine, chlorine and iodine (124 and 129–131) and represent the first isolation of such compounds. Additionally, four new pentahalogenated indoles (134–137) and an uncharacterised tribromotrichloroindole were isolated. The synthetically known compound 4-chloroisatin (138) was isolated as a new marine natural product, while 4-chloro-3-hydroxyl-3-(2-oxopropyl)-2-oxindole (139) was established to be an artefact of isolation. Several compounds were found to exhibit antifungal properties against Saccharomyces cerevisiae.  A detailed examination of the Tongan alga Callophycus serratus led to the isolation of six new meroditerpenoids: callophycol C (227), iodocallophycols E (228) and F (229), iodocallophycoic acid B (230), deiodocallophycoic B (231) and callophycoic acid I (232). The relative configurations in compounds 228–231 are proposed to differ from closely related compounds in the literature. Iodocallophycol E (228) exhibited moderate cytotoxicity against the HL-60 cell line with an IC50 value of 6.0 μM.
Lost in Transition: Designing for Refugee Integration in New Zealand
Authors:   , Ab Latif Fathila Mardeyah
Published: November 2021

Political unrest and internal conflict over recent years had forcefully displaced millions of people. As a result, the developed countries of the world are pressured to take in more refugees and New Zealand is included in this group. In response, New Zealand recently increased its intake of refugees, especially families from Syria.  A rapid increase of immigrants from a foreign culture can create fear relating to social and economic instability for the host country residents. If their concerns are not addressed, it can lead to tension between the host community and the refugees. In addition, many refugees have difficulty in transitioning, facing problems such as language barriers and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The short orientation they received before relocation is usually insufficient to help them adjust to the new country.   In order to improve the process of refugee integration in New Zealand, this thesis examines how architecture can facilitate positive social engagement between host communities and refugees.
Design to Degrade
Authors:   , Fong Zara
Published: November 2021

Birth, growth, death and decay constitute an inherent cycle in nature that maintains balance and enables ecosystems to adapt to external changes. Although death and decay are essential for birth and growth of the following generations, these disappearing stages are often ignored and unappreciated in manmade cultures and practices. Especially in design, in the era of mass production, the pursuit of quantity and uniformity inevitably link to many environmental issues. As a desperate response, bio-based materials have recently gained attention as alternatives to fossil-derived materials or new resources for industry, and rapid advancement of additive manufacturing (AM) has revolutionised conventional methods of manufacturing, enabling low volume, quality-focused production. This research discusses the pioneering incorporation of the stages of death and decay into design practices, exploiting a novel opportunity provided by the two key innovations, AM technologies and bio-based materials. A series of digital plants which employ and undergo the two degenerative stages are designed and produced using digital and scientific processes, and their transformative degradation induced by environmental stimuli, including humidity and UV, is demonstrated. The programmed visual and physical deformations suggest that a purposeful and systematic introduction of the two stages to the current design and manufacturing practices could offer a more sustainable and responsible approach to creation and production. They also exhibit new possibilities for digital processes, including parametric modelling and 3D-printing, through an integrative combination with bio-based materials.
Storytelling and strategy: An examination of the role of stories in strategy communication
Authors:   , Taylor James
Published: November 2021

This thesis explores the use of stories in strategy communication. Based on the premise that stories are powerful communication tools, and that communication is integral to strategy, the extent to which stories are used in strategy communication, and why stories are used to communicate strategy, are examined.  This thesis fits within the body of research on both narrative and stories in strategy, and strategy communication. The potential of stories in strategy has been considered previously, while language is increasingly seen as key to strategy, playing an integral role in both strategy communication and creation. However, much remains unknown about the role of stories in strategy communication. This thesis aims to contribute further knowledge in both these fields, developing original insights into the use and role of stories in strategy communication.  This thesis takes a two-stage, iterative interpretivist methodology, firstly by analysing annual reports to assess the extent to which stories are used to communicate strategy. Strategy creators, communicators and interpreters are then interviewed, to understand why stories are used in strategy communication.  The findings of this research, as an exploratory look at stories in strategy, provide insight into how and why organisations communicate strategy, comment on the extent to which stories are evident in strategy, and discuss motivations and influences that may underlie the use of stories to communicate strategy. This research provides a basis for further work do be done in the field of stories in strategy, and encourages researchers to further consider the role of stories not only in the communication of strategy, but also its creation. This research also draws heavily on the work of Barry and Elmes, and concludes by affirming Barry and Elmes notion that strategy is a prominent, integral, and powerful story organisations tell.
Wilderness
Authors:   , Prujean Alexander
Published: November 2021

What we perceive to be wilderness is in fact just a product: a physical manifestation of the force of wildness. Attempting to manufacture wilderness while bypassing this primary element (the force of wilderness) is why ‘emulated wilds’ often feel uncanny, fake. This thesis contrasts these forces, necessitating a new negotiation between people and the environment.  The Kapiti Coast has seen substantial growth in the last 50 years, resulting in sprawling suburban and commercial development across the region. While areas of landscape close to the historic ecologies of the region remain, much of it has been lost around the town centre, where development has focused in recent decades.  This thesis will explore historic representations of wilderness in picturesque and romanticist painting, drawing on both previous views of the wild, more modern interpretations as well as my own personal perceptions.  The aim of this design-led research is to understand how to bring a sense of wilderness back into developed areas of the Kapiti Coast. In order to do this, I will explore how designing using digital painting can create a stronger sensory understanding of wilderness. I will use this medium of digital painting to explore what the picturesque means within the discipline of modern landscape architecture. Within the specific Kapiti Coast context, I will identify the elements of suburbia that are underperforming in the context of the larger landscape setting and finally establish a scenario-based methodology to explore site-specific definitions of wilderness within Kapiti.
Achieving a ‘Delicate Equilibrium:’ Are Southeast Asia’s Maritime States Indonesia and the Philippines Hedging China?
Authors:   , Sousa-Santos Jose
Published: November 2021

One of the prescient questions within international relations today concerns the rise of China and what strategies states should deploy in response. This is particularly pertinent in the Asia Pacific neighbourhood. Southeast Asian states especially face a perennial challenge: how to balance economic and security interests between China and the US. This thesis examines the concept of hedging as a means of understanding the strategic choices adopted by the Indonesia and the Philippines in response to rising Chinese hegemony in Asia. This thesis applies the innovative hedging model developed by Kuik to determine if Indonesia and the Philippines are hedging China and, if so, what strategies Jakarta and Manila have adopted. The application of Kuik’s model to the foreign policy strategies and behaviours of Indonesia and the Philippines has been a useful approach to determine whether these two cases are hedging China and to what degree. This thesis concludes that Indonesia and the Philippines have adopted hedging strategies comprised of micro options which are not static but fluid and dynamic. This study further demonstrates that understanding the drivers and behaviour of key Southeast Asian states and the degrees to which they are rejecting or accepting power is critical.

Published: November 2021

This study aimed to review the condition of e-learning-based general course (MKU) learning planning at Tidar University and its conformity with the vision and mission of Tidar University. Learning planning is an important aspect as a reference for implementation and reflection of learning. The type of this research is evaluation. Evaluation research is a research with systematic analysis using a five-step discrepancy model. A qualitative research approach was applied to analyze the data. Data were collected through interviews, observation, and documentation. The research subject is a lecturer at MKU at Tidar University, while the object of research is RPS MKU. The research took place at Tidar University from January 2021-December 2021. The results showed that the e-learning-based general course learning planning at Tidar University had been prepared by the majority of course lecturers where the percentage of lecturers who compiled RPS was 97%, and the rest by 3% no. In general, the preparation of learning plans has been categorized as good, namely the preparation of lecture materials, preparation of final skills, study materials for each meeting, learning methods, time allocation, student learning experiences, and the use of case study learning methods and team problem base learning. Weaknesses in learning planning were found at the stage of compiling graduate learning outcomes and subject learning outcomes that did not refer to the higher education curriculum in the era of the industrial revolution 4.0 and the standard of the Tidar University learning process. In addition, another drawback is that the preparation of the final capabilities of each meeting has not been formulated in accordance with the provisions. The preparation of assessment criteria and assessment indicators has not been systematically arranged where case study learning and team problem base learning have not been fully measured

THE NATURE-BASED SOCIAL-EMOTIONAL APPROACH AND SCIENCE EDUCATION FOR ELEMENTARY SCHOOL CHILD: A NECESSARY RELATION
Authors:   St Cyril and St Methodius University of Veliko Turnovo-Vratsa Branch, Angelova Svetlana
Published: November 2021

The article presents the Nature-based socio-emotional approach and science education for primary school child as a necessary relation on two levels. At the conceptual level the approach is analysed through the prism of the cumulative effects of nature and society to the cognitive and socio-emotional development of the child’s personality: in primary school age cognitive and emotional-volitional mental processes are socially predetermined and have the essence of a result. At the applied level, the Nature-based socio-emotional approach is analysed through active learning in nature as an authentic learning environment – the focus is on the acquisition of knowledge, the formation of cognitive and socio-emotional skills to overcome consumer culture and sustainable development of nature. In this regard, the effects of active learning are viewed in sync with the learning environment, which collectively generate added value to learning and become a kind of „key“ to creating a modern vision of science education in primary school today .
NATURAL AND MATHEMATICAL EDUCATION, ITS GENESIS AND CONTINUITY
Authors:   Moscow Regional Social and Economic Institute, Russia, Lukankin Alexander , Slobodskaya Irina ,   Vologda Institute of law and Economics, Russia
Published: November 2021

The modern school again should be tasked not only to provide a certain amount of knowledge, but also to prepare students for their future practical activities. Previously, the Soviet and Bulgarian schools solved this problem by implementing the idea of polytechnic education. The transformation of the system of general and vocational education that followed the change of political regimes in the USSR and Bulgaria led to the loss of many positive achievements that had already been achieved earlier. A high level natural and mathematical education always was a distinctive feature of the Russian mass school. Most of the seemingly diverse intellectual challenges that students face in the learning process can be solved by developing conceptual thinking. It is possible to form the conceptual thinking through systematical studying of the natural sciences basics only. Consistency in the study of the surrounding world in a comprehensive school can be achieved through the synchronization of programs and inter-subject connections, and not through metasubject, which is a return to the programs of the GUS of the 20s. Students should learn not individual information, but the basics of the sciences in a certain system. This requires stable (approved for a number of years) programs and textbooks developed as a single system., There will be no right personality without a high-quality natural-mathematical education.

Authors:   University of Library Studies and Information Technologies, Mihaylova Nikolinka
Published: November 2021

Reading is always a topical issue in a child’s life. Seven open-ended questions test children’s attitudes toward books and reading. They reveal the reader’s experience and preferences of the respondent. The report analyzes the results of a study among children aged 6 to 11 years. The survey was conducted in the period from May 10 to May 14, 2021 with 216 respondents. The aim is to establish the place of the book as a value guide in child development. A drawing is attached to the survey. It provokes children’s imagination and creative thinking on the topic. Provides an opportunity for the manifestation of their personal colour perception. The survey contributes to the observation and study of the cognitive, affective, and connotative element in the child’s attitude to the phenomenon of reading. The survey is based on the following hypothesis: Placing the child in a consciously formed reading environment through his active role as a user and creator, the use of innovative pedagogical techniques activates his individual interest and motivation to read, and this leads to the formation of lasting reading skills. It creates an attitude and love for books and learning. The following conclusions can be drawn from the analysis of the survey: The reader’s attitude is directly related to the early reading by the child’s parent. Most children love reading fiction and encyclopedias. They also prefer printed books. The library in the classroom maintains the readers’ interest in the students.

The lesson „Drawing on a stone. The ancient stone inscriptions“ is a successful combination of knowledge in the subjects Bulgarian language and literature, Natural sciences, History with the ability to draw and the desire to have fun. Elementary stage students love to draw. By their drawings, children express thoughts, emotions, experiences. Drawings reflect the child’s imagination, represents its dreams and desires. During classes by interests, the third graders gladly accepted to draw about a certain topic. We used their enthusiasm to present to them the basis of medieval Bulgarian country in a fascinating way. For the lesson we chose to do painting on stones. That way we could connect painting with ancient stone inscriptions. The lesson is considered to be interdisciplinary because it combined the subjects Arts, Bulgarian language and literature, Natural sciences, and History. Starting with a discussion about the stone as part of inanimate nature, we moved to the meaning of the word stone and ended with the purpose of the stone in antiquity and in the Middle Ages. Leading the lesson are the elementary school teacher, the history teacher and three seventh-graders, who with fun and games direct the attention of third-graders to the Bulgarian Middle Ages. The main goal of the lesson is the third grade students to comprehend the role of arts and the power of speech by making a connection between historical events and their reflection in art. The idea is to make third-graders feel like they’re creators of history by painting on stone, to consolidate their knowledge of the medieval Bulgarian country and to receive new information about the importance of the stone inscriptions in the Bulgarian medieval past.

Some members of the new family are discussed.  The exponential-Topp Leone-exponential distribution (ETLED) which is one of the members of the family is derived and some of its properties which include central and non-central moments, quantiles, incomplete moments, conditional moments, mean deviation, Bonferroni and Lorenz curves, survival and hazard functions, moment generating function, characteristic function and R`enyi entropy are established. The probability density function (pdf) of order statistics of the model is obtained and the parameter estimation is addressed with the maximum likelihood method (MLE). Three real data sets are used to demonstrate its application and the results are compared with two other models in the literature.
GLOBAL MODERNITY AND OLD BELIEVERS. AMBIVALENCE OF INTERACTION
Authors:   Institute of Europe of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Shimanskaya Olga К.
Published: November 2021

Globalization is the main trend and reality of the modern world social processes, which is opposed by a national and cultural, but above all, religious tradition. Globalization and traditionalism have nonlinear vectors and ambivalent models of interaction, which is most vividly traced in the study of the history and a current state of the Old Believers in Russia and abroad. The tragic events of the split of the Russian Church put the Old Believers outside the law, caused them to flee to the borderlands of the state and beyond. The flight took the character of migration flows, shaped the transnational ethno-confessional Russian religious diaspora of Old Believers in different parts of the world. The modern Old Believers are in a difficult search for self-determination in modern times answering global challenges in very polar variations: migration/archaization, glocality/entrepreneurship, literacy/strength in faith, practicality and activity/orientation to spiritual needs. In general, the Old Believers have adapted the globalizing modernity in accordance with their ideas. If for most of their history the Old Believers were perceived as a countercultural phenomenon, marginal to the dominant culture, be it Orthodox or Soviet, now the Old Believers are taking shape of a rather noticeable religious traditionalist subculture with a high adaptive potential in the context of globalization.
