title: Text spacing considerations for children’s on-screen reading

authors: Vanderschantz, Nicholas

subjects: computer science

abstract: This investigation seeks to uncover the insights of three integral and inter-related participants in the creation and use of on-screen reading material for children’s learning. This is an effort to discover what factors are perceived to influence children’s comprehension. Through a design-analyse-refine methodology this researcher discusses a series of typographical considerations relating to space which bear further empirical investigation in the literature. This methodology involved discussion of ideas garnered from four experts. The results of each iteration of the experiment influenced further refinement of the ideas until suitable conclusions were able to be developed by the writer. Testing materials in this experiment adjusted variables for visual separation, including margins, separation of image and type, as well as line spacing, letter spacing and word spacing.

title: Novel composition

authors: Magnusson, Marie

abstract: The field of the invention relates to processes for preparing Asparagopsis oil compositions, comprising extracting at least one bioactive from a biomass of Asparagopsis into an oil to form the compositions. These compositions are suitable for reducing total gas production and/or methane production in a ruminant or pseudo-ruminant animal.

title: Changing the acculturation conversation: Indigenous cultural reclamation in Australia and Aotearoa/New Zealand

authors: Dudgeon, Pat

abstract: In constructing this chapter the authors make a claim for an Indigenous perspective that is grounded in decolonisation, the struggle for social justice, cultural reclamation and the development of Indigenous kowledges. This offers the opportunity to view acculturation and the associate research through a different lens. In taking this stance, a critical psychology, Indigenous standpoint approach is adopted, while also acknowledging earlier scholars who have attempted to accommodate Indigenous experiences within acculturation theory and the associated research (see for example, Kvernmo, 2006). This chapter begins with a critique of the acculturation framework and practice in researching the acculturation experience of Indigenous peoples. The chapter then presents findings and application to two contexts: Australia and Aotearoa/New Zealand. (Chapter 11 covers acculturation research in Australia and New Zealand and would thus be relevant to this chapter.) How acculturation research can be linked to cultural reclamation and reconciliation work is then examined.
