title: Depleted Uranium and Human Health

authors: Smith, Ron C.

subjects: Depleted Uranium

abstract: Persistent public anxiety about the use of depleted uranium munitions since the early 1990s has been underpinned by claims of serious health consequences for both veterans and exposed civilians, alike.  Whatever grounds there may have seemed to be in the aftermath of the Gulf War have been thoroughly discredited by a series of reports from various independent and expert organisations, such as the World Health Organisation and the British Royal Society.

title: Experiences of Matrilineal Solomon Islands Women Leaders in the Formal Sector

authors: Teaheniu, Dinna Kavauhi

subjects: Matrilineal

abstract: This thesis explores Solomon Islands women leaders working in the formal sector of the Solomon Islands, and how they perceive their matrilineal cultural heritage has influenced their career progression.  This study is motivated to give empirical substance to address issues of women’s invisibility in the formal sector of the Solomon Islands.
Qualitative research methodologies, specifically, in-depth interview and narrative inquiry were utilised to capture the stories of 14 women, from their matrilineal upbringing, through to their respective careers in the formal sector.  All the participants are employed in either the public sector or the Government sector and are based in the capital of Honiara, Solomon Islands. 
Appropriately, critical feminist theory was employed to analyze and uncover elements of my data that best depicts the women’s authentic experiences, challenges, and successes. 
The key findings of this study found that the women do attribute certain ideals within their matrilineal upbringing to their career progression, but acknowledge that regardless of this, there are still barriers and challenges present within the formal sector that continues to impede the participation of women in the managerial roles of organisations.

title: Experiencing cultural tourism: Visitors at the Maori Arts and Crafts Institute, New Zealand

authors: Ryan, Chris

subjects: indigenous tourism

abstract: This study reports results derived from semistructured interviews with 40 visitors to the Maori Arts and Crafts Institute in Rotorua, New Zealand. The article discusses briefly the mode of data capture used and adopts an approach of identifying classifications of a primarily functional nature to list reasons why people visit such a site and what it is they seek. In general, visitors reported high levels of satisfaction, yet the cultural component of their experience was primarily reported in terms of the visit being informative and entertaining. Additionally, whereas modest levels of interest in things Maori seemed to motivate visits to other Maori sites, the actual list of other locations being nominated was few in number. The impression results that visits are made to Maori sites because this is a "done thing" when visiting New Zealand, but overall, the level of interest shown by most visitors in indigenous culture is modest.
