title: Flowering of kiwifruit (Actinidia deliciosa) is reduced by long photoperiods

authors: Snelgar, W. P.

subjects: winter chilling

abstract: Mature kiwifruit (Actinidia deliciosa ‘Hayward’) vines grown under standard orchard management were exposed to 16-h photoperiods from the longest day in summer until after leaf fall in autumn. Photoperiod extension was achieved with tungsten halogen lamps that produced 2–8 µmols m–2 s–1 photosynthetically active radiation. Long day treatments did not affect fruit dry matter or fruit weight at harvest during the growing season that the treatments were applied or during the following growing season. However, flowering was reduced by 22% during the spring following treatment application. As this reduction in flowering was not accompanied by a decrease in budbreak, the long day effect is not consistent with a delay in the onset of winter chilling. It is suggested therefore, that the observed reduction in flowering may be because of a diminution of floral evocation.

title: Circular supply chain management: a bibliometric analysis-based literature review

authors: Zhang, Abraham

abstract: Purpose: Supply chain management (SCM) research has contributed to the transition to a circular economy (CE). Still, confusions exist on the related terms, and no review has mapped out the development trends in the domain. This research clarifies the boundaries of the relevant concepts. Then, it conducts a comprehensive review of the circular SCM (CSCM) literature and identifies opportunities for future research. Design/methodology/approach: Using relevant keywords, 1,130 journal articles published in December 31, 2021 were identified. Unlike the published reviews, which mainly relied on content analysis, this review uses bibliometric analysis tools, including citation analysis, co-citation analysis and cluster analysis. The review identifies general trends, influential researchers, high-impact publications, citation patterns and established and emergent research themes. Findings: The extant CSCM literature includes five prominent clusters: (1) reverse channel optimization; (2) CSCM review and empirical studies; (3) closed-loop supply chain (CLSC) and consumers; (4) CLSC and inventory management and (5) CLSC and reverse logistics (RL). Significant research gaps exist in the use of secondary and longitudinal data, a wider range of theories, mixed-methods, multi-method, action research and behavioral experiment. The least researched topics include zero waste, industrial symbiosis, circular product design, sourcing and supply management and reuse. Originality/value: This is the first bibliometric analysis-based literature review on CSCM. It clarifies the interrelated supply chain sustainability terms and thus reduces related confusion. It offers insights into the patterns in the CSCM literature and suggests important research directions.

abstract: I te tau 1875 i tiihooka tahi atu a Kiingi Taawhiao ki Taranaki ka tau ki mua ki te aroaro o Te Uahaumeene. Matua raa ko te rongomau me te rangimaaria, te kotahitanga me te aroha o teetehi ki teetehi maa roto mai i te whakapono ki te atua te whaainga i haere ai ia.

Ka tutuki i a Kiingi Taawhiao te rongomau me te rangimaaria, te kotahitanga me te aroha o teetehi ki teetehi maa te whakakotahi i ngaa ngaa koorero, ngaa hiitori, ngaa whakapapa, ngaa maataapono mai o te taioretanga o ngoo taatou tuupuna ka toopuuria ki te whakapono Tariao.

He whakapono teenei i whakaorangia e ia, e Kiingi Taawhiao maa roto mai i te tongikura, “E Ua, e toru ngaa taonga kei te kapu o taku ringa, ko te Mihinare, ko te Katorika me te Weteriana. Homai taau ka whaa. Kopi katoa ngeenei taonga i au ki te kapu o taku ringa, ka puta ko te Paimaarire.” Ko te whakapono Tariao me ngaa karakia Paimaarie ka hikitia, ka haapaingia tonu e maatou ngaa mangainga, ngaa kaiwhakapuumau i te Kiingitanga inaa raa koia teenei te whakapono matua moo te Kiingitanga.

I teenei tuhinga whakapae ko te whakapono Tariao te taahuhu o ngaa koorero. I konei ngahere mai ai te kaupapa matua o teenei tuhinga.

“He kura Tariao he kura whakapapa, te herenga ki te whakaoranga o Waikato tangata”

Ko teenei kaupapa ka whakarukuhia maa te rangahau i te ahunga mai o te maatauranga kei aa teenei whakapono i whea. Ka rangahautia ko te whakapaparanga o Kiingi Taawhiao mai i te Kore, ki a Rangi raaua ko Papa heke iho mai ki a Hoturoa, aa, ka tau ki a ia ki a Kiingi Taawhiao inaa raa, ko ngeenei momo he mea e tauiratia ana ki roto ki ngaa karakia, ki ngaa Kura kei teenei whakapono.

Ka hereherea ko Te Uahaumeene ki koneki naa, ki ngaa koorero e kitea ai maa whea i puaawai mai ai te Tariao me ngaa karakia Paimaarire. Ko te Kiingitanga me ngaana pehonga kaupapa e taapae atu ana ki te oranga o teenei whakapono maa te whakamahi i teenei whakapono teeraa ka waahia.
