The Power of Penal Populism: Public Influences on Penal and Sentencing Policy from 1999 to 2008
Authors:   , Bartlett Tess 
Published: November 2021

<p>This thesis explains the rise and power of penal populism in contemporary New Zealand society. It argues that the rise of penal populism can be attributed to social, economic and political changes that have taken place in New Zealand since the postwar years. These changes undermined the prevailing penalwelfare logic that had dominated policymaking in this area since 1945. It examines the way in which 'the public' became more involved in the administration of penal policy from 1999 to 2008. The credibility given to a law and order referendum in 1999, which drew attention to crime victims and 'tough on crime' discourse, exemplified their new role. In its aftermath, greater influence was given to the public and groups speaking on its behalf. The referendum also influenced political discourse in New Zealand, with politicians increasingly using 'tough on crime' policies in election campaigns as it was believed that this was what 'the public' wanted when it came to criminal justice issues. As part of these developments, the thesis examines the rise of the Sensible Sentencing Trust, a unique law and order pressure group that advocates for victims' rights and the harsh treatment of offenders. The Trust became an increasingly authoritative voice in both the public and political arena, as public sentiments came to overrule expert knowledge in the administration of penal policy. Ultimately, it argues that the power of penal populism is so strong in New Zealand that attempts to resist it are likely to come to little, unless these forces that brought it to prominence can be addressed and negated. To date, this has not happened.</p>
Family Violence Risk Assessment: An Early Study of Police Officers' Experiences at the Frontline
Authors:   , Grant Stephanie Christine 
Published: November 2021

<p>The key notion of a police organisational culture unique to frontline police officers explains why police services are resilient to reform, as past attempts by police management to change the traditions of the street-cop culture have proved difficult to achieve. The key tenets of the organisational culture of frontline policing see street-level police negotiate and resist aspects of the NZ Police family violence risk assessment model to which they do not subscribe. Frontline officers' resistance is an expression of their attitudes and beliefs about 'real' police work. These beliefs are informed by the occupational subculture of which they are a part. Officers in this study also resist the increasing bureaucratisation of their role and oppose attempts by management to change the informal rules by which they operate. The established autonomy and isolation of frontline policing allows officers discretion in their implementation of the risk assessment model. This thesis examines the experiences of frontline police officers responsible for implementing family violence risk assessment, in selected areas of the Waikato District. The study employed face to face semi-structured interviews with frontline police officers and sought accounts of their experiences of responding to family violence and their use of the risk assessment tools. The research found that officers recognise and support the improvement of the police response to victims of family violence. Despite this, the introduction of family violence risk assessment in the Waikato District has achieved limited change. This study found considerable evidence of a discrepancy between management policy and operational practice, as the risk assessment model is neither implemented as intended by police management or for which it was designed. This is the result of issues with training and tensions between management directives and established practice at the frontline. These challenges faced by NZ Police are typical of the problems encountered by police organisations implementing similar reforms in other Western jurisdictions.</p>
An Exploratory Case Study of Citizenship Education in the Social Studies Curriculum of the Solomon Islands
Authors:   , Fito'o Billy 
Published: November 2021

<p>This exploratory case study stems from the belief that teaching appropriate values to develop good and active citizens will improve the chaotic situation of the Solomon Islands. However, while this intention seems commendable, little thought has been given to the nature of Citizenship Education needed in a Solomon Islands context. A concern therefore, is that the curriculum reform agenda will ignore or marginalise the conceptualisation and contextual understanding of Citizenship Education to the extent that the Social Studies curriculum might not end up reflecting a contextually balanced approach to citizenship. In substantiating the concern, this case study research explores the perspectives of education stakeholders in the Solomon Islands on Citizenship Education in the Social Studies curriculum. The study examines the knowledge, values, and skills of Citizenship Education that are relevant and contextual to Solomon Islands. It investigates more fully the linkages between the Social Studies curriculum and Citizenship Education. The study scrutinises the conceptualisations of Citizenship Education in a Solomon Islands context and their implications on the curriculum. The research also explores the extent to which the Social Studies curriculum educates students about themselves, their diverse neighbours, and how to live as good and active citizens in a complex and dynamic national social environment. Using a case study involving 21 Solomon Islands participants (education officials, teachers and students), the study recommends the inclusion of contextually relevant values of rights and responsibilities, moral and social values, national identity and social cohesion in the Social Studies curriculum. Recommendations for further research are also offered.</p>
Talkin' bout a revolution: Cultural Effects on the Transition from Oral to Written Literature
Authors:   , Poelina-Hunter Emily 
Published: November 2021

<p>Using language and writing to distinguish cultures from each other is commonplace. They are defining characteristics of culture that enable members to identify themselves within their group - by having communication they are tied together. Oral communication is the key identifier for Nyikina people of northern-Western Australia. However, Nyikina language is severely endangered, and risks being lost altogether. If the language were to die, Nyikina people would lose a huge part of their cultural identity. Working with the Nyikina community as part of a language revitalisation project sparked my interest in the transition from oral to written literature within the Mediterranean. Why did Nyikina not develop their own script, but Minoans and Etruscans did? It would be beneficial to have Etruscan literature or sound recordings describing how the Etruscan language was influenced by Phoenician and Greek cultures, and to know why they created their own alphabet using elements from both colonising influences. Hence, the experience and situation regarding the Nyikina language may provide a general paradigm for understanding and extrapolating the contextual situations of Minoans and Etruscans with respect to their languages, and vice-versa. This was the spring-board to a Masters thesis exploring such changes.</p>
Convertible Bond Pricing with Stochastic Volatility
Authors:   , Garisch Simon Edwin 
Published: November 2021

<p>The aim of this paper is to compare the performance of different pricing models in valuing bonds with callable and convertible features. Additionally, we wish to provide a theoretical foundation and derivations of the models as we move through the paper. Much of the foundations for our approach to convertible bonds pricing, including optimal conditions for call and conversion, can be attributed to Ingersoll (1976) and Brennan and Schwartz (1977). These fundamental pricing conditions can then be built upon to arrive at more elaborate and numerically sophisticated models with the objective of more accurately pricing derivative securities. The Black-Scholes (BS) model is the most commonly used model in valuing short term derivative instruments, such as equity derivatives, for example. As for longer term securities, such as convertible bonds, movements in volatility and interest rates are likely to have a compounding effect. Consequently, we conjecture that that allowing for stochastic volatility and stochastic interest rates within the pricing of these longer term instruments is preferable. Additionally, given the much larger size of the fixed income derivatives markets when compared to other derivatives, it seems that the answer as to which pricing model is preferable carries significance. As to the findings with regard to equity derivatives, Bakshi, Cao, and Chen (1997) conclude that "taking stochastic volatility into account is of the first order importance in improving on the BS formula", but "going from the SV to the SVSI does not necessarily improve the fit much further." Firstly we shall look at pricing equity derivatives and convertible bonds using a more basic BS framework, then comparing this to the more complex SV and SVSI models later on in the paper. As for numerical pricing procedures, we concentrate on the use of the ADI finite difference method in order to estimate derivative values. Given the multiple variables that we wish to model, including firm value, volatility, and interest rates, we want a pricing procedure that is both accurate and computationally efficient. Whilst the ADI method is ideal for this situation, monte-carlo simulation is also an attractive approach to pricing convertible bonds. Indeed, in the case where the value of the option is path dependant, monte-carlo simulation is the ideal choice. To see examples of finite difference techniques used in the context of convertible bonds pricing, see Andersen and Buffum (2002). Alternatively, for a look into monte-carlo simulation, see Lvov, Yigitbasioglu, and Bachir (2004).</p>

A Multilevel World and a Flat Worldview: A Realist and Progressive Synthesis for Russia
Authors: Lukin Vladimir 
Published: November 2021

Abstract
This article is about the challenges that face Russia when reflecting on her obligations to the UN system, and on the limits of what is possible in trying to ‘master’ globalization. These challenges are not simply practical questions about the choice of foreign policy. They are deeper questions about worldview and how best to understand and navigate contemporary world politics. Several schemes have been presented to help identify and explain the foundations of our contemporary world order: geopolitical frameworks, civilizational ones, and some that are explicitly ideological. In engaging with and critiquing some of the best-known of these frameworks, the article makes the case for a worldview for Russia that is realist and progressive. This worldview recognizes the hierarchy of states and the logic of power politics in a UN-centered world, but it also moves beyond this pragmatic focus to consider the possibilities for a global dialogue of ‘pluralistic convergence’ and peaceful change that is facilitated by Russia.

Restoration of the Institution of Deaconess in the Alexandrian Orthodox Church
Authors: Зотин Андрей Александрович 
Published: November 2021

Диакониссы - одна из степеней церковной иерархии и служения в Церкви Христовой. Данный институт формировался постепенно на протяжении первых веков. Служение диаконисс было распространено преимущественно в Восточных Церквях с IV по VII- VIII века. Из женских городских аскетических общин девы и вдовицы по достижению необходимого возраста могли быть поставлены епископом в диаконисс. Они исполняли социальные, миссионерские и богослужебные обязанности служительниц в столицах диоцезов, административных центрах, крупных городах Империи, при этом находясь при кафедральных соборах и больших храмах. Например, в Константинополе при святом императоре Юстиниане в собор Святой Софии после его освящения было определено 40 диаконисс. К XII веку чин поставления диаконисс вышел из употребления.16 ноября 2016 года Синод Александрийской Православной Церкви постановил возродить институт диаконисс. 17 февраля 2017 года Патриарх Феодор II посвятил в диакониссы несколько женщин, которые будут помогать в миссионерской деятельности Катангской митрополии (епархия Александрийской Церкви в Конго), особенно в Таинстве Крещения взрослых, венчания, а также в катехизической деятельности Церкви.
Deaconesses are one of the degrees of church hierarchy and ministry in the Church of Christ. This institution was formed gradually during the first centuries. The ministry of deaconesses was distributed mainly in the Eastern Churches from the 4th to the 7th-8th centuries. Out of the women’s urban ascetic communities, virgins and widows, upon reaching the required age, could be placed by bishop in deaconess. They performed the social, missionary and liturgical duties of ministers in the capitals of dioceses, administrative centers, large cities of the Empire, while being at the cathedrals and large temples. For example, in Constantinople under the Holy Emperor Justinian, 40 deaconesses were identified in the Hagia Sophia after its consecration. By the 12th century, the rite of deaconesses was no longer in use. On November 16, 2016, the Synod of the Alexandrian Orthodox Church decided to revive the institution of deaconesses. On February 17, 2017, Patriarch Theodore II ordained several women to be deaconesses who will assist in the missionary work of the Katangan Metropolitanate (diocese of the Alexandria Church in the Congo), especially in the Sacrament of Baptism the adults, weddings, as well as in the catechism of the Church.
Politeness in Thesis Consultation by WhatsApp: Do Lecturers and Students Apply Different Strategies?

Published: November 2021

The study of politeness in education setting interaction has increased in last decades. However, the investigation of politeness strategies in lecturer-student interaction using WhatsApp is relatively unexplored. Therefore, this study aims to explore politeness strategies used by a lecturer and students in virtual communication using WhatsApp during thesis consultation. The researcher applied a mixed method: qualitative and quantitative research to discover the politeness phenomena in WhatsApp interaction. The participants of the study were 10 undergraduate students of English Department, University of HKBP Nommensen, and a lecturer as their thesis consultant. The data of the study consist of 50 screenshots of WhatsApp chats thesis consultation. The results show that all four types of politeness strategies were found in lecture-students interaction. The politeness strategies used by the lecturer and students differ greatly. The lecturer dominantly employed bald on-record (30. 93%) with the most imperative sentences realization; on the other hand, the students tend to use positive politeness strategy (23.20%) with the most greetings realization. This demonstrates that lecturers keep their distance when communicating, whereas students attempt to “get closer” during the interaction. The different politeness strategy choices are caused by the different power and social status (position) factors between lecturers and students. The findings of this study also show that the politeness strategies chosen by lecturers and students are not always consistent with previous similar studies.
ChoKs as a Promising Therapeutic Target for a Variety of Pathologies

Published: November 2021

Alterations in cell metabolism represent a common cause of human diseases. Changes in lipid profiles are not an exception to this rule, including those lipids that are produced via the choline kinase (ChoK) pathway. ChoK catalyzes the conversion of choline to phosphocholine via the transfer of a phosphate group from ATP to choline.
Transport category airplane flight range calculation accounting center-of-gravity position shift and engine throttling characteristics
Authors: Tsukanov Ruslan , Riabkov Viktor 
Published: November 2021

A problem facing world commercial aviation is a provision of the flight range and an increase in the fuel efficiency of transport category airplanes using fuel trim transfer application, which allows for decreasing airplane trim drag at cruise flight. In the existing mathematical models, center-of-gravity position is usually assumed fixed, but with fuel usage, center-of-gravity shifts within the definite range of center-of-gravity positions. Until the fuel trim transfer was not used in airplanes, the center-of-gravity shift range was rather short, that allowed to use the specified assumption without any considerable mistakes. In case of fuel trim transfer use, center-of-gravity shifts can reach 15…20 % of mean aerodynamic chord, that requires considering the center-of-gravity actual position during the flight range calculation. Early made estimated calculations showed the necessity of following mathematical model improvement using accounting the real engine throttling characteristics. The goal of this publication is to develop a method of flight range calculation taking transport category airplane into account actual center-of-gravity position with fuel using and variation in engine-specific fuel consumption according to their throttling characteristics. On the basis of real data from engine maintenance manuals, formulas are obtained for approximation throttling characteristics of turbofan engines in the form of dimensionless specific fuel consumption (related to the specific fuel consumption at full thrust) dependence on the engine throttling coefficient. A mathematical model (algorithm and its program implementation using С language in Power Unit 11.7 R03 system) has been developed to calculate the airplane flight range accounting its actual center-of-gravity position shift with fuel usage and variation in specific fuel consumption according to engine throttling characteristics. Using comparison with known payload-range diagram, adequacy of developed mathematical model is shown. Recommendations to improve the mathematical model are also given.
