subjects: Pātere

abstract: E tika ana kia punarua te wānanga i ēnei pātere e rua nā te mea he mārama te kite iho o whatu he ōrite ētahi o ngā rārangi kupu, ngā whakaaro me ngā kareāroto ki te pātere a Ahumai. Ahakoa kāore i te takoto te ingoa o te kaitito i tēnei pātere, nā te ōrite o ētahi o ngā kupu, e taea te whakapae, nā te ringa kotahi ēnei pātere i waituhi? Kai roto hoki i te pātere nei e takaoto ana ngā rohe o Raukawa pērā i Wharepūhunga, me ngā tangata whai mana o tērā iwi pērā i a Tīkao. Hei taituarā ka hahua ake anō te kōrero a Turanga Te Mauparaoa ki te tata o te rohe o te iwi nāna te waiata nei, ki tōna rohe. Kāore te Māori e kī ‘nō tua ake nei tēnei pātere’ mēnā he tawhiti atu te iwi i tōna. Nō reira, ki taku wānanga, ehara tēnei pātere nō ngā iwi o Taranaki. He tawhiti rawa a Taranaki i Murupara. Hāunga a Raukawa, koia te iwi kai ‘tua ake nei’.

E tuku ana ahau i taku ihu kia puta. Ki te tapahia mai, e pai ana. E kī ana hoki au, ko te mea poto te titonga tuatahi, ko te mea roa te titonga o muri mai. He ariā te mea tuatahi nō te mea tuarua.

title: Lifting barriers: Leadership, tactical, and strategic issues from, and for, indigenous community development

authors: Murthy, Vikram

subjects: indigenous communities

abstract: This paper uses learnings from a project with indigenous youth to engage with a recurring challenge in indigenous community organisation (ICO) development initiatives: The unwitting detraction from outcome efficacy by charismatic and influential indigenous leadership leading with an out-of-date repertoire. Using material from recent literature in the fields of non-profit management, new leadership, and social enterprise, the paper suggests guides to improved practice for meeting this challenge. It also sets out to effectiveness, will better underwrite sensitivity in entrepreneurial environments with complex cultural and social beliefs and practices. Such a repertoire will energise intraorganisational communal and consensual processes, which would resonate culturally with the ICO's normative behaviours and values, and would thus help the organisation marshall its collective will to frame futures that best capture their stakeholders' hopes and aspirations. Finally, it recommends that future research examine interfaces between these fields and the spiritual frameworks of indigenous world-views.

title: Extracting the MESA SR4000 Calibrations

authors: Charleston, Sean A.

subjects: Science & Technology

abstract: Time-of-flight range imaging cameras are capable of acquiring depth images of a scene. Some algorithms require these cameras to be run in `raw mode', where any calibrations from the off-the-shelf manufacturers are lost. The calibration of the MESA SR4000 is herein investigated, with an attempt to reconstruct the full calibration. Possession of the factory calibration enables calibrated data to be acquired and manipulated even in “raw mode.” This work is motivated by the problem of motion correction, in which the calibration must be separated into component parts to be applied at different stages in the algorithm. There are also other applications, in which multiple frequencies are required, such as multipath interference correction. The other frequencies can be calibrated in a similar way, using the factory calibration as a base. A novel technique for capturing the calibration data is described; a retro-reflector is used on a moving platform, which acts as a point source at a distance, resulting in planar waves on the sensor. A number of calibrations are retrieved from the camera, and are then modelled and compared to the factory calibration. When comparing the factory calibration to both the “raw mode” data, and the calibration described herein, a root mean squared error improvement of 51:3mm was seen, with a standard deviation improvement of 34:9mm. © (2015) COPYRIGHT Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers (SPIE).
