title: Interrelated struggles and the role of the academic in the fight for freedom

authors: Norris, Adele N.

abstract: Professor Biko Agozino delivered the keynote address for the launch of the new journal Decolonisation of Criminology and Justice on the 7th June of this year. He began his talk recounting his earliest memories as a child survivor of the Nigerian Biafra War that occurred in 1967 to 1970. Specifically, he called attention to the critical role of intellectuals and academics, trained at top Universities, in facilitating the conflict that claimed millions of lives  through bombings and starvation. Genocides of Indigenous peoples are still occurring and
state-sanctioned violence (e.g., police brutality, mass imprisonment, criminal justice system, inadequate housing) is commonplace for Indigenous and Black peoples(Benson & Lewis 2019, Estes 2019, Kanem & Norris 2018, Ritchie 2017). Professor Agozino asked for us to reflect upon the place of the academy and the role of the scholar-activist in the struggles occurring all around us.

title: Tensile Properties and Fracture Behaviour of Induction Sintered Ti and Ti-6Al-4V (wt %) Powder Compacts

authors: Raynova, Stiliana (Stella) Rousseva

subjects: Titanium alloys

abstract: Induction heating of powder compacts could be a very effective method for metal powder consolidation to get the final product or as an intermediate consolidation step to produce feedstock for metal powder forging or extrusion. Our study has proven that only a few minutes of induction heating, of Ti and Ti-6Al-4V (wt %) powder compacts, increases their density dramatically and causes a significant sintering effect, as evidenced by the formation of interparticle diffusion bonding and reflected by the tensile properties of the induction sintered powder compacts. This paper presents and discusses the results of a study on the tensile properties and fracture behaviour of the Ti and Ti-6Al-4V powder compacts sintered under a variety of induction heating conditions. Keywords: Titanium alloys, powder consolidation, powder compact sintering, induction heating.

title: Participant responses to a tertiary-level Māori language immersion programme: Reporting on a questionnaire-based survey

authors: Nock, Sophie

subjects: Hamilton (N.Z.)

abstract: The article reports about a research project which was aimed at collecting and analyzing data related to the views of the students about a degree programme related to the Māori language in University of Waikato in 2008. As mentioned, a questionnaire was conducted to obtain the responses of the students. But the study revealed that success inhibiting factors were there which affected learning ability of learners, and students had little language proficiency.
