title: Using digital content analysis for online research: Online news media depictions of older adults

authors: Amundsen, Diana Leigh

subjects: elderly

abstract: This case study describes how I used the method of digital content analysis in a research project aimed at understanding how online news media articles depict and represent older adults in a New Zealand context. The focus in this case study is on the methodological practice of collecting and analyzing data using a digital content analysis method. Furthermore, this case study discusses the main differences between traditional print-based content analysis and contemporary online digital content analysis. Specifically, through my research experiences of online news media depictions of older adults, I highlight the advantages, challenges, and implications I encountered when using this methodological approach. Finally, I provide recommendations on how to design a research project if you were to use digital content analysis in future research.

title: Indigenous Development and Self-Determination in West Papua: A Case Study of the Socio-Political and Economic Impacts of Mining upon the Amungme and Kamoro Communities of West Papua.

authors: Hisada, Toru

subjects: Amungme

abstract: Since West Papua was colonized by Indonesia in 1963, West Papuans have endured one of the most disastrous experiences of cultural and
environmental destruction, human rights abuses and mass killing of the twentieth century.  In the Western Highlands of West Papua, where
Freeport McMoRan, a mining company from
Louisiana, United States (U.S.), operates, there
have been long-standing disputes over environmental justice, human rights, the right
to control development, and wealth
distribution.  

   Substantial research has been done on the negative impacts of the Freeport's operation on the Amungme and Kamoro communities who reside in the company's operating area.  Yet, limited
research has been done regarding Freeport's social policies and the possible solutions to the issues which are crucial for the further development of Amungme and Kamoro.  Therefore, the thesis firstly examines Freeport's recent social policies which have attempted to address the two communities' concerns as well as the social problems the company has caused around its operating area.  The examination suggests that genuine reconciliation between Amungme and Kamoro communities and Freeport is a crucial next step in achieving successful community development in the area.  The thesis employs a case study of the South African reconciliation processes via Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) to explore the prospects of achieving successful community development in Freeport's operating area of West Papua which might lead to prosperity for the Amungme and Kamoro peoples.

   In addition to this, the prospect of
preventing the human rights violations by the Indonesian Military (Tentera Nasional Indonesia-TNI) is considered.  The TNI, by carrying out the role of protecting the Freeport operation, has until today committed a large number of human rights violations against indigenous West Papuans around the mine thus preventing and inhibiting the future development of Amungme and Kamoro communities.  Since major countries, including the U.S., the United Kingdom (UK), New Zealand and Australia, have until today,
supported the Indonesia state and the TNI, the attitude of Pacific Island states towards the issue is examined.  Finally, although the above processes are important, the study suggests the more important role of the Amungme and Kamoro themselves in taking responsibility for their plight and taking positive actions wherever possible to solve the issues surrounding them.  Although the conflict continues to the present day, the research contained in the thesis outlines the situation in West Papua only up until November 2006.

authors: Tuaupiki, Jackie Whetumarama

subjects: Kōrero nehe

abstract: Tā tēnei tuhinga e whai ake nei, he wānanga i ngā pūtake o te whanaketanga mai o ngā iwi, nāna ngā motu o Poronīhia i whakakāinga, ka utaina te karangatanga ki runga ki a rātou, he iwi Poronīhia. Ko te pātai matua, i ahu mai ngā iwi Poronīhia i whea? Tēnei, ka hahaina ngā whakaaro Māori me ngā whakaaro Tauiwi e pā ana ki te pūtakenga mai o te iwi tāngata ki te ao. I konei, ka kitea te rerekē o te titiro ā-ao a ēnei iwi tāngata.

Ka ū te titiro ki Hawaiki, e tau ana ngā kōrero tuku iho a te ao Māori, ki te ao Poronīhia hoki. E mea ana te Māori, he tūrangawaewae taurikura a Hawaiki, he pā whakawairua hoki. Ka riariakina e au ngā whakapae mō tēnei karangatanga kāinga i mau roa ai i ōna iwi kōrero.

Ka huri rā ki te āta whakatewhatewha i ngā rangahau mō te horanga haeretanga o te iwi tāngata mai i whirika, ki  hia ki te tonga mā rāwhiti, ā, tau atu rā ki roto i ngā whaitua moana o Poronīhia. I konei, kua āta wānangahia e au ngā whakapae huhua mō ngā take i horapa haere ai ēnei iwi ki roto o Poronīhia, ka tahi. Ka rua, ka tirohia ngā tohe e pā ana ki tō rātou āheinga ki te whakatere i ō rātou waka. Ko ēnei kōrero, he whakatuwhera i te pūtea mātauranga mō runga i ngā mahi whakatere waka a ngā tūpuna Poronīhia.
