title: Current techniques for measuring and modeling ATM traffic

authors: Pearson, Murray W.

subjects: computer science

abstract: ATM has now been widely accepted as the leading contender for the implementation of broadband communications networks (Brinkmann, Lavrijsen, Louis, et al, 1995) ATM networks are no longer restricted to research laboratories, and commercial products such as switches and interfaces manufactured by well known computer and communications companies have started to appear in the market place. The main advantage seen in ATM over other broadband networking technologies such as Synchronous Transfer Mode (STM) is its ability to transmit a wide variety of traffic types, including voice, data and video efficiently and seemlessly.

title: Creating culturally-safe schools for Māori students

authors: Macfarlane, Angus

subjects: education

abstract: In order to better understand the present trends in New Zealand’s schooling contexts, there is a clarion call for educators to develop sensitivity and sensibility towards the cultural backgrounds and experiences of Māori students. This paper reports on the work of four scholars who share research that has been undertaken in educational settings with high numbers of Māori students, and discusses the importance of creating culturally-safe schools – places that allow and enable students to be who and what they are. The theoretical frameworks drawn on are based on both a life partnership analogy as well as on a socio-cultural perspective on human development and learning. The Māori worldview presented in this paper is connected to the Treaty of Waitangi, The Educultural Wheel and the Hikairo Rationale. Data were collected from two ethnographic case studies and analysed through these frameworks. Practical suggestions are then made for using restorative practices and creating reciprocal relationships in classrooms within an environment of care. The paper reports on an evidence-based approach to creating culturally-safe schools for Māori students.
