PENGEMBANGAN E-MODUL KIMIA BERBASIS SETS (SCIENCE, ENVIRONMENT, TECHNOLOGY, AND SOCIETY) UNTUK SISWA SMAN 1 KECAMATAN PAYAKUMBUH
Authors: Safitri Rahmi , Sari Maya
Published: April 2022

AbstractThe problem behind this research is the unavailability of teaching materials that are effective and attract students' interest in learning. The teaching materials used during the chemistry learning process only utilize textbooks provided in the library and use student worksheets. This causes students to have difficulty understanding the concepts of chemistry, because textbooks tend to be monotonous and difficult to understand, moreover most of the material in chemistry learning is abstract so it needs a better explanation. Meanwhile, teachers have not developed interesting and easy-to-understand teaching materials due to time constraints. Based on this, the researchers conducted research on the development of SETS (Science, Environment, Technology, and Society)-Based Chemistry E-Modules for Class XI Students on petroleum materials. This research uses 4-D research (define, design, develop, and disseminate). To find out the validity or practicality of an e-module, validity and practicality tests are carried out. The results showed that the validation of the SETS-based chemical e-module that had been designed was very valid with a percentage of 96.8%, and the practicality results were very practical with a percentage of 89.0%.Keywords : Development, E-Module, SETS ApproachAbstrakPermasalahan yang melatarbelakangi penelitian ini adalah belum tersedianya bahan ajar yang efektif dan menarik minat belajar siswa. Bahan ajar yang digunakan selama proses pembelajaran kimia hanya memanfaatkan buku teks yang disediakan di perpustakaan dan menggunakan lembar kerja Siswa. Hal ini menyebabkan siswa mengalami kesulitan dalam memahami konsep-konsep kimia, karena buku pelajaran cenderung monoton dan sulit dipahami, apalagi sebagian besar materi dalam pembelajaran kimia bersifat abstrak sehingga perlu penjelasan yang lebih baik. Sementara itu, Guru belum mengembangkan bahan ajar yang menarik dan mudah dipahami karena keterbatasan waktu. Berdasarkan hal tersebut maka peneliti melakukan penelitian pengembangan E-Modul Kimia Berbasis SETS (Science, Environment, Technology, and Society) untuk Siswa Kelas XI pada materi minyak bumi. Penelitian ini menggunakan penelitian 4-D (define, design, develop, dan disebarluaskan). Untuk mengetahui validitas atau kepraktisan suatu e-modul dilakukan uji validitas dan kepraktisan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa validasi e-modul kimia berbasis SETS yang telah dirancang sangat valid dengan persentase 96,8%, dan hasil kepraktisan sangat praktis dengan persentase 89,0%.Keywords : Pengembangan, E-Modul, Pendekatan SETS
THE INFLUENCE OF THE CONCEPT OF THE SPIRIT OF LAWS ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF MODERN CIVIL SUBSTANTIVE, AS WELL AS CIVIL AND ARBITRATION PROCEDURAL LAW
Authors: KOVAL V.N.
Published: April 2022

It is customary to criticize legal science for its sufficient distance from practice. In turn, the law enforcement officer is often reproached by theorists. This article is a modest attempt to unite the opposing sides and show that the thesis stated above does not correspond to reality. Based on the most general theoretical positions, the author of this work examines in detail real trials and proves that they are based not only on a strict legal norm, but also on the spirit of the law. The judge, being in a constant difficult situation of choosing the side that is right, making the final decision, is based primarily on his legal consciousness, and it, as will be shown later, corresponds to theoretical concepts, legal traditions, established ethical rules of judicial practice. Due to the specifics of their research interests, decisions on civil law cases considered in the framework of civil and arbitration protsesses were chosen. General scientific methods of deduction and induction, analysis and synthesis were used to prepare this work. In order to enhance the objectivity of the results obtained, the method of expert assessments was used. Interpretation and modeling made it possible to trace the logic of the law enforcer and evaluate it for compliance with the spirit of the law.

Objective – to investigate the effectiveness of bone augmentation materials based onmultipotent mesenchymal stromal cells of adipose tissue, which were used to fill bonedefects after various dental surgeries before dental implantation in patients of theresearch groups.Material and methods. Examination and treatment with dental implants were performedon 140 patients who had previously used various osteoplastic materials to increase thebone volume of the alveolar processes of the jaws during surgery. All patients were dividedinto III groups: I (main) group – 49 people (35.0%), in whom the material “Colapan–L”was used to restore the bone tissue of the alveolar processes; ІІ (main) group – 62 patients(44.29%), in whom the augmentation of bone defects was carried out with the help ofour proposed composition (“Colapan–L”+MMSC–ATT +PRP); Group III (control) – 29patients (20.71%) in whom wound healing occurred under a blood clot (spontaneous).Statistical processing of the results was performed on a personal computer using licensedprograms "Microsoft Excel" and "Statistica".Results. It was found that in patients, in whom a combination based on multipotentmesenchymal stromal cells of adipose tissue, the drug “Colapan-L” and platelet-richplasma was used to fill bone defects, peri-implant tissues were completely restored afterinsertion of dental implants. Also, the adequacy of our proposed osteoplastic compositionwas confirmed by X-ray examination: after 12 months of studies in patients of the maingroup II, the values of bone resorption in the implantation sites were 1.4 times and 1.8times lower than in patients of the main group, p1<0.01, and control group III, p2<0.01,respectively.Conclusions. The effectiveness of osteoplastic materials based on multipotentmesenchymal stromal cells of adipose tissue was confirmed by the values of the stabilitycoefficient of implants, which after 12 months of the research were probably higher thanthe reference, p<0.01, and 12.43% and 19.33% higher than in patients of the I main andIII control groups.

Authors: Chaikovska O.V.
Published: April 2022

The objective of this study - to determine how lateral septum (LS) is involved into thebrain reaction on acute alcohol intoxication (AAI) based on the changes in its electricalactivity and reaction of local nitrergic system.Material and methods. Wistar rats (n=8 for electrophysiology and n=6 for histochemistryof nitrergic system) were used for the study. Changes in the spectral power of the localfield potential, neural noise dynamics, as well as changes in the number of NOS-positivecells in LS for the model of AAI by intraperitoneal injections of ethanol solution (2 g/kg)were studied.Results. An increase in power for delta, theta, beta-2, gamma frequency bands, andultrafast oscillations as well as suppression of beta-1 rhythms was observed as aresponse of LS to AAI. Furthermore, we have detected an increase in neural noise forall frequency range. Inspection of specific frequency bands showed a decrease in neuralnoise for delta, theta, and beta bands as compared with spontaneous levels. In additionto that, ethanol-induced reduction in neural noise was measured for gamma frequencyrange and ultrafast oscillations. AAI resulted in activation of a population of medium/small-sized LS neurons the number of which increased from 3.15 ± 0.31 cells per sliceto 7.06±0.67 cells per slice (P = 0.0122).Conclusion. Our findings on the ethanol-induced changes in oscillatory activity andneural noise dynamics in LS coupled with activation of the nitrergic system allowed us toincorporate LS in the neural circuit engaged in the brain reaction to AAI.

Published: April 2022

The aim of the work – to raise treatment efficiency of Kron’s diseases and itscomplications.Material and methods. Analysis of the treatmentof 168 patients with Crohn's diseaseand its complications was carried out. Depending on the treatment algorithm, patientswere divided into two groups: main and comparison group. The main group consistedof 85 (50.5%) patients who were treated according to the developed algorithm, thecomparison group - 83 (49.4%) patients who were treated by traditional methods.Results. The use of a differentiated algorithm for the treatment of Krohn's disease andits complications, which includes inpatients with inflammatory disease, a basic courseof treatment and re-appointment of mesalazine every 6 months, increases the durationof remission. Accordingly, the probability of the recurrence for group I is HR(I / Ia) = 0.25(0.08 - 0.79), which determines the reduction of the recurrence risk in group I 75% (p =0.024). Among patients with complicated form, in particular intestinal stricture, the useof balloon dilatation of the stricture with local administration of prednisolone reducesthe recurrence of stricture. Accordingly, the probability of recurrence for group II isHR = 0.22 (0.08-0.63), which corresponds to 78% reduction in the risk of recurrencein group II. In patients with surgical complications of Crohn'sdisease, intraoperativeadministration of prednisolone into mesentery reduces the recurrence rate and increasethe duration of clinical remission. Accordingly, the probability of recurrence for groupIII is HR (III / IIIa) = 0.23 (0.07 - 0.78), P = 0.036, which determines the reduction ofthe risk of recurrence in group III 77%. This effect of treating Crohn's disease and itscomplications is achieved through the use of a differentiated algorithm.Conclusions. Treatment algorithm of the patients with inflammatory form of Crohn’sdisease, including basic therapy with mesalazines use and obligatory administrationof the prophylactic course of treatment every 6 months, is more efficient in comparisonwith traditional method, that increases recurrence duration and decreases the rate ofrecurrences by 12% against 39.1% (p=0.024) during 12 months.

Published: April 2022

The aim – to assess life quality (LQ) in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients with andwithout concomitant coronary heart disease (CHD).Material and methods. 91 patients with RA were examined. The average age was 44.7 ±9.4 years. The duration of the disease is from 1 to 12 years. The first X-ray stage - in 4.2%of patients, II - 49.5%, III - in 40.0% and IV - in 5.3% of patients. Seropositive RA wasfound in 73.7%. The first degree of activity is in 21 patients, II - in 38. Patients with RAare divided into 2 subgroups - patients with RA and RA with coronary heart disease. Thegroups are comparable in age and sex. LQ assessment was performed using SF-36 andHAQ questionnaires. Control group consisted of 31 patients with coronary heart disease.Results. Patients with RA and RA, accompanied with coronary heart disease gaveapproximately the same assessment of their pain before admission to the hospital (64.8± 13.2 and 69.1 ± 11.1 mm, respectively). The general condition of patients with RA,accompanied with coronary heart disease, was considered to be 25.1% more severecompared with RA patients without coronary heart disease (69.7 ± 6.39 mm vs. 55.7 ± 4.27mm, p <0.05). When assessing pain and general condition of patients of different ages,no significant difference was found. Depending on the disease duration in the subgroupsof patients with RA up to 5 years and over 10 years, there is a tendency to a slightlyhigher assessment of pain for VAS compared to the group of patients suffering from thisdisease from 5 to 10 years. The HAQ analysis revealed a significant difference in RApatients with and without coronary heart disease (p <0.05). The constituents of рhysicalcomponent score (PCS) tended to be decreased in patients with comorbid pathology, butthe constituents of the mental component score (MCS) probably differed in patients with acombination of RA with coronary heart disease, both from data, obtained in patients withRA, and from the values of patients with coronary heart disease.Conclusions. Patients with comorbid RA and coronary heart disease are characterizedby a lower assessment of their own health. Comorbidity of RA with coronary heart diseasehas less effect on the physical component of patients' health, but significantly impairs themental component of health.
A forecasting tool for predicting asthma related emergency department visits and hospitalizations using heterogeneous data sources
Authors: Bhalla Rashi
Published: April 2022

New Zealand (NZ) is one of the countries with the highest prevalence and mortality rate due to asthma. Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) statistics [3] indicate NZ has one of the highest hospital admission rates for asthma of OECD countries. According to recent records [1], on average 77 New Zealanders each year lost their battle to asthma. Furthermore, the cost burden of asthma to the NZ economy has not improved over the years [2]. Not much work has been accomplished in the direction of population health forecasting for asthma in NZ. The aim of this study is to develop a prediction model for anticipating asthma-related hospitalisations in Auckland, NZ while exploiting diverse heterogeneous data sources. These sources accounts for triggers that exacerbate asthma conditions like meteorological and air quality factors plus the social media resource accessed through Google search trends. The research work is divided into two parts; in the first phase I analysed the relationship between trigger parameters and asthma using the Pearson Correlation Coefficient. Subsequently, in part two a comparative examination has been conducted based upon the prediction models developed using different machine learning techniques on the continuous data of 1097 days. The experimental evaluation shows that the best forecasting tool could predict asthma-related hospitalisation with an accuracy of 78.87% while the precision and recall for the model were 79.80% and 78.87%. The outcome achieved from implementing such a model would be beneficial for public health surveillance, thereby helping in more efficient and timely healthcare resource deployment.
Investigating the effect of noisy galvanic vestibular stimulation on somatosensory perception in healthy adults
Authors: Kaur Preet Kamal
Published: April 2022

It is well known that the vestibular system is an important sensory system used by the brain for postural control or human balance. To maintain postural control, the brain needs to integrate with other signals from the various sensory systems. The somatosensory system is one such sensory system. Evidence in healthy people suggests that Galvanic Vestibular Stimulation (GVS) has facilitatory effects on somatosensory perception such as touch. As GVS is uncomfortable, it is more feasible to deliver a new variant of GVS called noisy galvanic vestibular stimulation (nGVS) which delivers GVS with a sub-threshold weak current. Therefore, this research aims to investigate the effects of nGVS on somatosensory perception on foot in healthy adults. The findings will provide new insights for better understanding any somatosensory enhancement induced by nGVS on sensory perception on foot. It is assumed that this proposed study has a potential to expand our understanding of the links between the vestibular system and the somatosensory system by giving a detailed view of whether the vestibular system can influence processing within the somatosensory pathway, which is important for human balance. This subsequent research is the first step which will provide greater understanding of the effects of nGVS on balance and may help in developing a new treatment using nGVS for people with poor balance. In this presentation I will present the methodology how we are going to understand the links between vestibular and somatosensory system using nGVS behind ears and seeing its effect on sensory perception on foot.
Social media and money: How our tweets affect the financial markets
Authors: Yang Ni
Published: April 2022

Social media, such as Twitter, has replaced traditional media as a dominant information source (Gan et al., 2020). With social media being a fast and more efficient information dissemination channel, investors can quickly access, update and exchange stock-related information before making trading decisions. In this study, I examine the mechanism by which social media sentiment affects stock prices. I first collect a sample of 2.2 million tweets and quantify each tweet using Natural Language Processing (NLP) techniques to infer whether the tweet has a positive or negative tone. Next, I employ a modified vector autoregression (VAR) model to assess the impact of tweets on stock returns at the minute frequency. I find that Twitter sentiment affects stock prices through its impact on trades. Trades have stronger price impacts with an increase in tweet volume or investor sentiment. In addition, both bullish and bearish tweets amplify the impact of trades on stock returns. Twitter sentiment causes a permanent price movement until a new equilibrium is reached, showing Twitter sentiment contains substantial information to drive stock prices. These findings suggest that trades in the stock market become more informative as tweet activity increases, as well as when tweets contain higher sentiment. To the best of my knowledge, this is the first study looking at the exact mechanism of how social media affects the stock market and investors' response behaviour.
Relational and supportive interventions for residents living with dementia who like to walk
Authors: Adesina Christianah
Published: April 2022

In this presentation, I will be providing the background, aims and potential benefits of my doctoral study. Globally, the rate of people diagnosed with dementia is increasing at an alarming rate. The World Health Organization has declared dementia a public health priority. As part of the progression of this condition, there are numerous behavioural changes, which often include a period of excessive walking, commonly referred to as wandering. International studies have found that the use of antipsychotic medications to manage this walking behaviour is widespread in many aged care facilities. This pharmacologic intervention is not in line with best practice. These medications have adverse effects on residents causing over-sedation, increased risks of falls and stroke, hospitalisations and even deaths. Hence, I am carrying out this study focussing on four aims: 1) to investigate the first interventions staff provide for residents who like to walk; 2) to find out from all participants, including the residents themselves, their perspectives on the meaning of the walking behaviour; 3) to examine the impact of built environment on the walking behaviour and 4) to explore participants’ understanding of person-centred care. This qualitative study uses a social constructionist methodology and critical ethnography to answer the research question. I have used purposive sampling technique to recruit participants from three aged residential care facilities who met selection criteria. To date, I have collected data in two facilities from staff, family members who hold enduring powers of attorneys, and residents, using observations and in-depth interviews, following the five stages recommended by Carspecken (1996). Data analysis is underway. On completion, I will make recommendations based on the findings which I hope will benefit various stakeholders, reinforce best practice, influence policies, contribute to nursing education. My goal is to support inclusivity and remove the stigmatised label of ‘wandering’.
Radio Pictures: Grounding Theory in Image Data
Authors: Hammill Amber
Published: April 2022

This presentation explores the use of image-data in a grounded theory study of radio listening for company among older listeners. The use of photographs in grounded theory is unusual, but not unheard of, and not without methodological support (Clarke, 2014). In spite of this methodological congruence, there is little work to date on analyzing visual data in grounded theory. “Analysing photographic data in qualitative research, as with textual data, is a series of inductive and formative acts carried out throughout the research process” (Prosser & Schwartz, 1998, p. 125). Analysis of the photographs in this research was three-fold: I recorded & transcribed memos describing photos and what I had captured – the relation of objects to one another, the location of the radio within the home, the uses and function of the objects around the radio; I used grounded theory coding techniques described for use with word-data to explore the images; I reviewed these codes and form categories, and used these to inform theory development. Without a single word, the location of your radio and the objects that surround it carry a lot of information about your relationship with the device itself and the noise it makes. “Where data sets centre around both narrative and visual data, and where the subjective construction of experience becomes the focus of analysis, grounded theory analytic techniques that emphasise reciprocity with participants can help to generate explanations for patterns of behaviour” (Liebenberg et al., 2012, p. 59). The composition of the scene, the way the objects pictured relate to each other in space and their location in the home, is the work of the participant. This presentation offers an example of how a grounded theory analysis of image-data is undertaken and develops over the course of the study.
Long-Range Air Pollution Monitoring
Authors: Kaur Amritpal
Published: April 2022

Air pollution in major cities worldwide today has become an important topic due to its adverse effects on human health and the environment. This research aims to monitor particulate matter (PM) at different sizes, i.e., less than 1 μm (PM1), 2.5 μm (PM2.5), 4 μm (PM4), and 10 μm (PM10), and that the concentration of particulate matter changes with location and time. Also, particulate matter is one of the primary pollutants in the air, which affects the environment and the risk of human mortality and morbidity of respiratory disease. This research presents the design and development of a low-cost network using LoRa (short for long-range), a spread spectrum modulation technique derived from Chirp Spread Spectrum (CSS) technology. Semtech’s LoRa is a long-range, low power wireless platform that has become the de-facto wireless platform of the Internet of Things (IoT). For detecting particulate matter levels, a commercially available Sensirion sensor (SPS30) was purchased and used. The developed and the deployed network has these sensors connected to LoRa modules (senor nodes) with an ESP32 microcontroller programmed to collect and send data to a gateway using the 915 MHz frequency band. The gateway then sends the data to ‘The Things Network (TTN)’, where a developed cloud-based dashboard reads the data. Several sensor nodes collect the measured values in the air at different elevations at the monitoring location. The proposed network design has been implemented at a specified location in Auckland City Centre, New Zealand. The designed network system allows the users to access a developed online dashboard, which shows the different concentration levels of particulate matter in the air in real-time.
Modelling and prediction of NZ's population wellbeing using machine learning techniques.
Authors: T L Anantha Narayanan
Published: April 2022

The importance of population wellbeing is gaining traction and acknowledgment across the globe. In 2019, the government administered NZ’s first ever ‘wellbeing budget’ after recognising that although NZ had strong economic growth, there were high rates of child poverty, homelessness, and suicide. In NZ, detailed wellbeing measures are available from the General Social Survey (GSS), a biennial survey of approximately 10,000 individuals. Although the GSS sample is considered representative of the NZ population, a major limitation is that the survey sample is not representative of certain groups of the population that may be of high policy interest. For example, the wellbeing of social housing tenants is a key area of government focus, but the number of social housing tenants represented in the GSS survey is sparse. Therefore, it is impractical to explore what/how government policies are associated with wellbeing in these smaller subsets of the population. To overcome this challenge, population-level wellbeing data is required. The government’s push for cross-agency data integration over the last several decades led to the development of the Integrated Data Infrastructure (IDI). The IDI is a complex population-level government research database containing anonymised individual response data (microdata) relating to people and households that can be linked longitudinally over time. Extrapolating wellbeing data to the full NZ population may be possible by applying advanced modelling techniques on the IDI data. In this study, I propose to use machine learning algorithms (such as random forests, neural networks) to model and predict various GSS-based wellbeing outcomes for the full NZ population. If successful, the outcome of this study (a population-level measure of wellbeing) would enable researchers to easily incorporate wellbeing measures into IDI-based policy analysis. Ultimately, it would improve our understanding of how the political, social, and economic environment influences the wellbeing and functioning of New Zealanders.
“The most important thing when we arrive in New Zealand": Experiences of refugee women of reproductive age with interpreters
Authors: Cannard Carolina
Published: April 2022

This study provides insight into the experiences of refugee women of reproductive age, who use interpreters while resettling in New Zealand. Understanding their experiences of using interpreters allows a deeper understanding for interpreting services and health professionals. It also enables more mindful and comprehensive language assistance approaches to migrant communities. Finally, refugee women will have the opportunity to voice their experiences. This research is the first of its kind in New Zealand. Women refugees are shown to be the most vulnerable refugee group, as they face many risks during their resettlement to their host country (UN Women Organisation, 2020). Refugee women often face family separation, psychosocial stress, trauma, violence, reproductive and sexual health complications while migrating (UN Women, 2020). Due to low literacy rates, they are less likely to understand or speak English, and therefore more likely to rely on interpreters to assist them with communication during the process of resettling in New Zealand. When women refugees arrive in New Zealand, they stay at the Mangere Refugee Resettlement Centre (MRRC). During their stay in the Centre, and after their resettlement to their new home, interpreters are hired to facilitate communication between refugees with numerous New Zealand services and health professionals (Ministry of Health, 2012). As this study focuses on human lived experience, it will use a qualitative approach and a methodology based on Heidegger’s hermeneutic phenomenology, to explore the lived experiences of refugee women and uncover their meaning through an interpretive analysis (Van Manen, 2016). 15-20 participants will be recruited during the first one to five years of resettlement in New Zealand and interviewed face to face or via Zoom when Covid-19 restrictions apply. Ultimately the intention of this study is to improve the experiences of refugee women as they settle into New Zealand life and into their new homes.
Logical Coding & Emotional Poetry: An exploration of poetic expression in the digital
Authors: Loh Cassandra
Published: April 2022

This practice-oriented design research investigates opportunities for meaningful poetic expression within a digital medium. It hypothesises that the digital medium offers more opportunities for personal expression than in traditional print as poetry can become dynamic with animation, interactivity, and discovery. However, these come with added complexities. This project sits within digital poetry but borrows ideas from other realms of knowledge and practice, such as aesthetic expressivism (Collingwood, 2017) and hypertext (Landow, 2006). The practice focuses on testing, reflecting, and articulating the poetic expression present in three distinct characteristics of the digital environment: ephemerality, hidden content, and non-linearity. These characteristics are further investigated through prototypes, where the research tests techniques that reflect their qualities to create poetic experiences. Within this project, the researcher takes on two roles: the poet and the designer. The former brings expressive and subjective lenses, while the latter introduces objectivity and attention to technical skills. At times, these artistic and technical voices felt dissonant, however there were glimpses of their symbiosis during the practice. Arguably, finding ways to encourage this symbiosis can ensure greater synergy and meaningful connections between the poem and its form. To investigate this further, the research explores when poetic writing occurs in relation to choosing techniques of the medium. Within this presentation, I will map and discuss explored workflows used for approaching digital poetry that consider both the outlined characteristics of the medium and the relationship between artistic and technical voices in practice. It is believed that without a clear understanding of what the digital space could offer, a poem could have no difference in its reading experience from its traditional form, or it could become jarring and meaningless.
'Asi - The presence of the Unseen
Authors: Faumuina Cecelia
Published: April 2022

In 1993, Wolfgramm referred to the climax in faiva as ‘asi (the presence of the unseen). This spirit of artistic expression is an agent sometimes identified when Oceanic people work together to bring artistic works to their apotheosis. This thesis asks, “What occurs when young Oceanic people work together creatively in a group, drawing on values from their cultural heritage, to create meaningful faiva?” The thesis seeks to understand how within this process, ‘asi might bring forward a powerful sense of expression rooted in a relationship between involvement and a sense of belonging. Emanating from a critical consideration of faiva and ‘asi, the research considers the dynamics of collective development and performance. Video, sound, drawing, poetry, performance and talanoa (every day conversations where the people involved share their personal experiences) are collected and analysed through a process of artistic and analytical reflection. The research considers two bodies of work. The first is a co-created work called Lila. This was developed by a team of research participants in 2019. The second is the development and performance of the researcher’s experience and synthesis of thinking in a faiva called FAIVA | FAI VĀ. The significance of the research lies in its contribution to an understanding of ‘asi, so we might identify and consider its potential agency for resourcing creativity and belonging inside the development and performance of faiva. The presentation will: outline what ‘asi and faiva are, discuss the methodology used, consider the findings from the two bodies of work, and discuss benefits for young Oceanic people.
Can feeling younger increase older adults' technology acceptance?
Authors: Lee Daniel
Published: April 2022

How can marketers persuade older adults to adopt new technology? Although today’s technology revolution presents unforeseen opportunities, older adults are relatively slow to take advantage of them. As their resistance to technology is costly at both individual and societal levels, an effective intervention strategy is called for. In this presentation, I will aim to answer this call by investigating the power of subjective age—how old or young one feels—on older adults’ technology adoption. This research is in its early stage and will only introduce the theoretical background and study design. Recent research suggests that the perception of one’s age is open to situational influences. The momentary shift in subjective age can have important consumer consequences like the preference for contemporary (vs. traditional) options and prosocial behaviours. Building on this new research paradigm and the literature on technology acceptance, I predict that a boost in the feeling of youthfulness (i.e., via experimental manipulation) will increase older adults’ likelihood of adopting new technology. This effect is expected to be mediated by the feelings of selfefficacy and moderated by technology type. I plan to test this prediction through a series of experiments. Participants will be recruited online and randomly assigned to different subjective age conditions (high vs. low). For dependent measures, participants will indicate their attitudes and behavioural intention toward technology. One-way or two-way ANOVA’s will compare the levels of technology acceptance as a function of the subjective age manipulation. Theoretically, the present research contributes to the recent literature on the malleability of subjective age and its impact on consumer behaviour. Further, it adds to the literature on technology acceptance by introducing the novel concept of subjective age. This research also makes practical contributions by suggesting unique intervention strategies that marketers and policymakers can implement to promote older adults’ technology adoption.
Partnerships for tourism and recreation in protected areas: Interdisciplinary perspectives on governance, management, and biodiversity financing
Authors: Sarhan Mahmoud
Published: April 2022

Protected Areas (PAs) receive billions of visitors every year, principally for nature-based tourism (Balmford et al., 2015). However, the increasing numbers of visitors, the multifaceted objectives, and variety of stakeholders, have made the management of PA tourism progressively more difficult. PA agencies are increasingly involving stakeholders such as local people, the private sector, and non-governmental organisations, in managing recreation and tourism. This research investigates governance arrangements for tourism in PAs and explores collaborative partnerships between tourism stakeholders. The research aim is to investigate PA tourism partnerships to improve the understandings, performance, and outcomes of protected area tourism. The research aims to find out how the governance and management of protected area tourism can be improved. Taking an interdisciplinary approach, the research will integrate perspectives related to PA tourism management, governance, collaborative governance, and project evaluation. The expected outcome of this research is to develop criteria, a methodology, and performance indicators for evaluating PA tourism partnerships to improve governance, management, and evaluation processes. Tourism partnerships will be investigated through the lens of the Theory of Change, a methodological approach for investigating and evaluating social problems and providing applicable solutions. The study will follow the philosophy of pragmatism as its research paradigm. It will employ a qualitative research approach and a case study research design. Qualitative data will be obtained from semi-structured interviews that will be analysed by employing a thematic technique using NVivo software. In this presentation, I aim to present the research goal, questions, gap in knowledge and the methodology that will be used in this study. I will talk about protected areas tourism, it’s positive and negative impacts, and the collaborative multi-stakeholder’s governance and partnership models for managing tourism in PAs.
Advancing Leader-Member Exchange utilising the 4Cs relationship model
Authors: Woolliams Dwayne
Published: April 2022

The leader-staff member relationship in a workplace setting is fundamental to optimising organisational performance, reducing turnover intentions and increasing both parties' satisfaction, motivation and psychological well-being (Martin et al., 2010). The conceptualisation of the Leader-Member Exchange (LMX) Theory and associated self-reporting tools represent the most prevalent approach to understanding leadermember relationships; yet has attracted much scrutiny regarding theory content (Gottfredson et al., 2020). Although researchers have suggested a multitude of constructs, many believe the leader-member relationship consists of Mutual Liking, Trust, Respect and Obligation. This study draws upon the perspective of ten participants from an organisational workplace to explore the structure and content that underpin LMX Theory in the twenty-first century, in order to better understand interpersonal relationships between leaders and members and offer an alternative approach to redefining the theoretical content of the concept. This qualitative study utilised semi-structured interviews adopting deductive and inductive content analysis to augment pre-existing theory and extend current knowledge. Analysis revealed that the 4Cs relationship model consisting of the emotions of Closeness, the thoughts of Commitment, Complementarity behaviours and Co-orientation more appropriately captures the social exchanges' reciprocal nature between a leader and a member. The 4Cs relationship model is a highly validated and reliable relationship model designed for the coach-athlete relationship in a sports context. Mutual Liking and Obligation may no longer be appropriate to considering leader-member relationships, and 24 dimensions, including Trust, Respect, Integrity, Honesty, Openness, and Leading/ Following by Example, can be considered essential elements of the relationship. The findings suggest that the LMX structure is limited and may not be suitable in the modern workplace. The findings demonstrate that the nature of the dyadic relationship between a leader and a member can be more effectively observed using a modified 4Cs model to capture a greater breadth and depth of social exchanges.
Creating a Holistic Model of Heterosexual Marriage Wellbeing Mechanisms
Authors: Sharkey Jennifer
Published: April 2022

The links between marital relationship well-being and multiple life outcomes, including health, finances, career, living conditions, and happiness, are repetitively endorsed in academic studies. These outcomes are far-reaching and broadly representative, so it is perhaps surprising that there are limited publicly available, evidence-based models of marital wellbeing mechanisms to aid couples in trouble or to educate families, professional helpers, or policy makers in their decision-making processes. The goal of this study was to isolate the generic properties of marital health and understand their operation - investigating the precedents, antecedents and maintenance of adult romantic relationship happiness, stability and general marital well-being, including how these constructs self-organise and co-relate, how outcomes emerge, and how we might therefore potentially alter these outcomes. Over the last 40 years thousands of studies have been carried out to determine the factors that contribute to marital satisfaction and endurance. Nonetheless, to this point in history little has been done to synthesise these multiple factors into an overarching model of marital wellbeing. For this study, pre-existing theories and research findings pertinent to marriage and relationships were sought out using a scoping review, collating more than 24,000 research articles. The multi-grounding process extricated categories from the scoping review for the model development. Prominent pertinent theories were discovered, and their premises were explored, compared, and inter-relationships were considered in the model development process. Given the prevalence and primacy of marriage partnerships across most societies and given the individual importance and the societal impact that these partnerships have, this model has significance for individuals, therapists, family therapy lecturers and researchers, policy makers and even societal and business leaders.
Destination Management Systems and Community Participation: Indonesia Case
Authors: Akbar Muhammad Dhaifan
Published: April 2022

Destination Management Systems (DMS) are Information Communication Technology (ICT) based tools that were first created with a marketing and booking focus. DMS functions mainly focus on relaying destination images and providing relevant booking information through destination websites as their front end. More recently, policymakers and researchers have seen the potential for DMS to foster sustainable tourism outcomes through effective destination management. This research argues that DMS can help to empower local communities to engage in tourism development and create stakeholder networks that can facilitate more sustainable forms of tourism development. This research will investigate how DMS worldwide, specifically in Indonesia, can empower community participation in tourism development. A major contribution of this work will be the development and provision of a set of criteria for a community-focused DMS. This research is divided into two stages. The first stage focuses on investigating community dimensions in DMS practice globally and in Indonesia. The Motivation – Opportunity – Ability (MOA) model will be used to identify the DMS functions that can empower the community to participate in tourism development. The second stage of the research has two objectives: investigating the strategic reasons behind DMS design and formulating evaluation criteria of the study cases that emerge from the prior stage. Semi-structured interviews and the Delphi Method will be utilised to address the objectives, respectively. This research contributes to the academic discourse on the interrelation between Tourism, ICT and sustainable community-focused development. From a practical perspective, the outcomes of this research will enhance destination management practice by providing a new avenue to foster community participation in tourism development processes. In the upcoming presentation, I will present the research methods and early research findings, which mainly come from the web evaluation process in the first stage of this research. The presentation will also share the following process of the research.
Rock With Lots Of Holes
Authors: Kostandini Silvia
Published: April 2022

We perceive our surroundings differently when fully engaged with them. Interactions with spaces begin to define our experience of the world. This research is a modern story of matter and philosophy, investigating the rock Scoria to produce a series of public architectural spaces that uniquely engage with the beholder. By taking part in the Material Imaginaries Research Collective - AUT Spatial Design department - I ask the following: 'What is our world made of? How might an expanded sense of 'material' and a focus on meaning, provenance, story, and performance recast how we make space?' With an imaginary read on the rock Scoria, the research explores both abstract and tangible ways to unfold a narrative of matter. Engaging with geographical, cultural, and social aspects that define the scoriaceous element and its connection to the “Tamaki Makaurau Volcanic landscape” (Tūpuna Maunga Authority). The exploration of Scoria's materiality becomes the driving aspect of the study, bridging learning and processes into practice-led research to uncover the existing history of the volcanic rock, challenging conventional methods and developing Le Mappe Del Mondo, Lavoro Manuale, and Il Giornale as a creative alternative to organize the various tools and techniques that shape the creative practice. The choice to incorporate Italian terminology becomes a playful way to acknowledge my background through the research. The project wishes to provide a set of interventions that engage with the geographical heritage features of Tāmaki Makarau in shaping a collection of public gathering spaces that activate unfurnished and unutilized areas around the territory. By celebrating the Tūpuna Maunga to showcase the heritage values associated with preserving those sites and considering the broader landscape's role in supporting our growth as a society. By providing a range of public spaces for the collective, such as gatherings and recreation, the designer considers all the components to ensure “sustainable” (Project for Public Spaces) city life engagement.
