title: Landform classification of the Mamaku Plateau using a digital elevation model.

authors: Bakker, L.

abstract: The Mamaku Plateau is a large, forest-covered ignimbrite plateau in the North Island of New Zealand. This study was launched to aid inquiries into the evolu-tion of the plateau by classifying its valleys (which con-stitute Mamaku’s main geomorphological feature).An automatic classification of the valley forms in the Mamaku Plateau was made using a Digital Elevation Model (DEM). A new algorithm was created for the Arc/Info Geographic Information System, to extract the valleys from the DEM. Preliminary results from this phase of the inquiry indi-cated that it was difficult to do a computer-aided classi-fication of valleys based only on valley form. Conven-tional classification of the plateau’s valleys had also been done using stereoscopy to assist in the geomorphological interpretation. The results of these classifications were compared, and it was concluded that DEMs are useful in landscape analysis especially if combined with traditional geomorphological analysis.

title: En la periferia de la textualidad literaria: la tecnopoesía. [On the margins of literary textuality: Technopoetry].

authors: Lopez-Fernandez, Laura

subjects: tecnopoesía

abstract: La poesía experimental produce modos de conocimiento que difieren de las cartografías convencionales de representación y a su vez requieren modos de lectura alternativos. En este estudio se exploran tecnotextos de dos autores latinoamericanos que han creado nuevos modos de escritura. La tecnopoesía, como veremos, vive en los límites de la textualidad, la discursividad y el canon literario. IP Poetry de Gustavo Romano, y “Cypher” de Eduardo Kac, reciclan lenguajes escritos, orales, genéticos (ADN), lenguaje computacional, sonido, imagen, etc., al tiempo que activan la participación del lector y, paradójicamente, la naturaleza autopoética del poema, eliminando distancias entre proceso y producto y desafiando las expectativas de autoría y lectura. La democratización y manipulación de diversos lenguajes y tecnologías es un aspecto integral de la tecnopoesía que activa desde los márgenes, una nueva política de representación y contribuye a la reconceptualización de la poesía.

title: Maori and epilepsy: Personal perceptions of the cause, treatment and consequences of epilepsy by Maori in the Bay of Plenty

authors: Simonsen, Kiri

subjects: Maori

abstract: This paper discusses the perceptions of epilepsy held by Maori in the Bay of Plenty. The paper
begins by introducing the purpose and rationale of the research. It then moves on to describe the
aims and qualitative research methods that were used to collect the data. Finally the paper
discusses the findings of the research, this includes: a close look at the unique perceptions of
epilepsy that were reported by Maori in the Bay of Plenty; the lack of resources and services
available in a small rural town of the Bay of Plenty; the services desired by Maori; attitudes
towards medication and the inappropriate behaviour many of the participants experienced by the
medical profession.
