Lost in Transition: Designing for Refugee Integration in New Zealand
Authors:   , Ab Latif Fathila Mardeyah 
Published: November 2021

<p>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.</p>
Storytelling and strategy: An examination of the role of stories in strategy communication
Authors:   , Taylor James 
Published: November 2021

<p>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.</p>
Wilderness
Authors:   , Prujean Alexander 
Published: November 2021

<p>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.</p>

Published: November 2021

The purpose of this article is to analyze the achieved results in the process of financial decentralization in Ukraine, with the further improvement of the methodology of its implementation for increasing the efficiency in the system of financial security of local budgets. Methodology. For the purpose of substantiation of directions of financial decentralization development in conditions of hromadas self-sufficiency the following modern methods of research are used: historical, dialectical method of knowledge, system analysis, abstractedly-logical, graphic, statistical.The object of the study is the processes of development of financial decentralization through the prism of self-sufficiency of hromadas. The theoretical basis of this research is the fundamental provisions of economic theory, national economy, state and regional administration, and theory of local finance.Results. It has been proved that the most effective option is when the population residing in a particular territory takes part in the implementation of management functions in the region, which requires significant financial resources to ensure the implementation of management responsibilities. It is for this purpose that the process of decentralization, which is a complex and multi-component process connected with fiscal decentralization, was initiated in Ukraine.It has been substantiated that for further effective reform it is necessary to solve the issue of changes in the Constitution of Ukraine, as well as in the administrative organization of the country.Practical implications. It is determined that the keynote of fiscal decentralization is the principle of fiscal equivalence, when the efficiency of a particular hromada is achieved through such a mechanism of formation of revenues to local budgets that the end consumer of public goods at the local level will be financially responsible for expenses, as well as their order, volume and priority, within the limits of taxes transferred to them. The tax system bottlenecks of personal income were identified. It has been proven that the more freedom in setting the rates of local taxes and fees is given to local governments, the more there is an opportunity to set them at a level that will be suggested by local residents, because the hromada will demand at a high level of taxation a proper quality provision for their vital needs and, in addition, local government accountability.

Published: November 2021

This research examines the queer performativity and sexual orientation in a novel entitled A Single Man by Christopher Isherwood. The main purpose of this study is to reveal the signs of homosexuality by the protagonist George. The queer studies analytical perspective is used to analyze how the writer constructs the sexual desire of the main character through several events. The study aims to scrutiny the queer performativity and sexual orientation of the main character as a flexible and indeterminate entity exactly in accordance with Butler’s theory, besides, the writer uses Sedgwick’s perspective that explains and describes sexual orientation and gender. The result of the analysis shows some symptoms that exist in George’s character. Living with a different sexual orientation as homosexual is not an easy job when the surrounding is heterosexual society. The situation can create a confusion and over self-identity also an existence of life anxiety. This exhibits negative behavior towards homosexuals and excludes them from autonomous carrying out their identity and essence. This research can give the readers a deeper understanding of what the queer process idea in the field of literature or in the workplace, hence, this also can be a new idea for future readers who are interested in discussing homosexual or gay men’s psychology.
La evaluación de la gestión del riesgo de los incendios forestales en áreas naturales protegidas tropicales: el caso de la Reserva de la Biosfera Los Tuxtlas (México)

Published: November 2021

Una de las principales estrategias para conservar las selvas tropicales del planeta es la declaración de áreas naturales protegidas. No obstante, se ha cuestionado si esta protección es efectiva para mitigar uno de los mayores riesgos para las selvas: los incendios forestales. El presente estudio analizó esta situación en un área natural protegida específica, la Reserva de la Biosfera Los Tuxtlas (México). La investigación se inició con una revisión del marco normativo y de los instrumentos de gestión relevantes, así como de su implementación por parte de los actores locales, con base en entrevistas semi-estructuradas. A continuación, se evaluó la efectividad de esta gestión, basada tanto en datos estadísticos oficiales como en el análisis de imágenes satelitales. Si bien los datos disponibles carecen de continuidad y precisión, se puede reconocer que las actividades de gestión empleadas han logrado evitar los impactos a gran escala que ocurrieron previos a la creación del área protegida en 1998 y que se ha observado una tendencia a la baja entre 2005 y 2020. Aun así, sigue siendo preocupante el número de hectáreas afectadas anualmente. Se indica que esto se debe principalmente al presupuesto limitado de las dependencias involucradas, restringiendo su alcance temporal y espacial.

In learning the practice of Javanese Karawitan, the Ethnomusicology Study Program, Faculty of Cultural Sciences, Mulawarman University, encountered problems in the implementation of this working process. It has an impact on the lack of achievement of learning competency standards. The purpose of this paper is to describe the factors that influence the non-achievement of competency standards in learning Javanese musical practice in terms of working on Javanese karawitan. The method used is descriptive analysis. The data collection technique was done by interview, literature study, and qualitative analysis of the work. The results showed that there were internal and external factors. Internal factors include (1) differences in the cultural background of each student, (2) students have not been able to determine the direction of working on karawitan, and (3) students have not been able to determine the considerations for working on karawitan. The external factor is the learning media used, namely the incomplete Javanese gamelan instrument. It is hoped that the results of this study can be used as material for evaluating learning in Javanese Karawitan practice courses.

LEGAL CULTURE AND LEGISLATION ON EUTHANASIA: A NEW LEVEL OF LEGAL REGULATION OR THE COLLAPSE OF THE LEGAL SYSTEM?
Authors: Tsvetikova T. , Oxamytny V. 
Published: November 2021

Euthanasia is a voluntary withdrawal from the life of a person suffering from an incurable disease or having a disease that causes him physical and mental suffering. This practice has been used since the period of antiquity, when in Ancient Rome and Sparta, the elderly and the disabled were thrown from the mountains. The need for such a policy was explained by the inability of the state to support weak members in the conditions of regular military campaigns.
A similar position was supported by the Nazis of nazi Germany, who created gas chambers as an analogue of "easy death" for disabled citizens, which included people with mental disorders; people suffering from epilepsy; disabled people with any health abnormalities; patients who had been treated for more than 5 years. In addition to persons with various pathologies, representatives of Gypsy, Jewish, and Polish nationalities were included in the same group. It becomes obvious that in such a context, euthanasia is perceived as a clear abuse of the state to dispose of the lives of its citizens.
In modern foreign countries and the Russian Federation, this procedure seems to be a way to satisfy the desire of a person suffering from an incurable or severe disease of both a somatic and mental nature, in a dignified and rapid termination of his existence.
To what extent such a desire to classify oneself as deceased is voluntary and conscious and whether it fits into modern legal norms is considered in the presented publication, which at the same time offers more constructive ways to help individuals in need.
