title: Cognitive functions associated with consumption of traditional volumes of kava (Piper methysticum): A feasibility study

authors: Aporosa, S. 'Apo'

abstract: It is believed the traditional Pacific drink kava contributes to unsafe driving. A recent study utilising an industry standard measure of drug driving failed to register effects to selected cognitive functions.
The following reports on a subsequent feasibility study with a new method.

title: Issues involved in the obtaining of public amenities grants, under "the 1% clause" from the New Zealand electricity department by the Huntly borough council from 1975-1977

authors: Witten, Frank L.

subjects: Huntly

abstract: Research in Huntly began in February 1975, and ended in December 1977. In February began the first approach by an association to obtain a grant from the New Zealand Electricity Department through the assistance of the Huntly Borough Council. In December 1977, my research ended after Mr. Gair, Minister of Electricity, had granted the Huntly Borough Council $1 million to be used on public amenities in the town and also granted the Raglan County Council, $460,000 for the establishment of a sporting and cultural complex in Huntly West.

title: Mapping Māori knowledge from the past to inform marine management futures

authors: Paul-Burke, Kura

subjects: mātauranga Māori

abstract: This article provides an overview of research which used mātauranga moana (Māori marine knowledge systems) to inform and assist Western science field research methods and surveys. Place-based Māori marine knowledge identified the traditional distribution range and sizing of taonga (culturally important) species in traditional coastal areas which had been fished and managed by consecutive generations of Māori; kina, Evechinus chloroticus, sea urchin; koura, Jasus edwardsii, red rock lobster; kūtai, Perna canaliculus, green lipped mussel; and pāua, Haliotis iris, abalone. This knowledge was then mapped and used as the baseline for sub-tidal marine science field research surveys. Findings from the transdisciplinary marine research was used to develop management actions to assist Māori and Government entities for improving, enhancing and safeguarding marine taonga species into the future. This article critically discusses and demonstrates the relevance and complementarity of mātauranga Māori and Western science, and the importance of kaupapa Māori strategies for empowering Māori collaboration and voices in marine research co-development, implementation and communication.
