title: Assessment of the water quality of ten Waikato lakes based on zooplankton community composition. CBER Contract Report No. 60

authors: Duggan, Ian C.

subjects: water quality

abstract: Zooplankton communities were documented from ten Waikato lakes from net haul
samples collected in late 2006 and from species hatched from diapausing eggs in
sediments collected in early 2007. Lake trophic state was inferred based on the rotifer
assemblages observed, and these inferred values were compared with predetermined
water quality gradients assessed based on a limited dataset by Environment Waikato.

title: Counting for everything: research productivity in geographical and environmental education

authors: Chalmers, Lex

subjects: geographical education

abstract: In many countries, the state is a major funder of research, whether directly or indirectly, through state-like organisations known as parastatals. Research in geographical education is a beneficiary of such research funding, although seldom at the levels of biomedicine and applied science. Where the state funds research, it is entitled to ask for evidence of benefits from such investment. One of the consequences of this relationship in the last 15 years has been an increasing interest in systematically monitoring research productivity, and during this time, we have also seen the impacts of the revolution in information technology flow into research. The outcome has been the advent of sophisticated research management and modelling tools that are both a threat and an opportunity.

title: Hoea a mai tōu waka – Claiming spaces for Māori tamariki and rangatahi in cognitive behaviour therapy

authors: Cargo, Tania

subjects: Maori

abstract: Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) has been shown to be an effective therapeutic intervention for a variety of psychological difficulties for children and youth (Barrett, Healey-Farrell, March, 2004; Stulemeijer, de Jong, Fiselier, Hoogveld, Bleijenberg, 2005; Butler, Chapman, Forman & Beck, 2006). However there is very little literature on its utility with indigenous children or youth, most of the literature has tended to look at “minority” populations and has focused on psychological outcomes (Weersing & Weisz, 2002; McNeil, Capage, Bennett, 2002).
