title: A translation of Moodle into Te Reo Māori

authors: Manuirirangi, Hōri

abstract: This paper is an assessment of the Te Reo Māori translation of the Learning Management System ‘Moodle’, used by students and teaching staff of the University of Waikato. Moodle: [Modular Object-Oriented Dynamic Learning Environment] has been the university’s primary online learning environment since 2008. It has an open code-base that allows users the ability to modify its software. This particular feature makes the LMS appealing to both Māori and Pacifika users as it allows Moodle to be developed and customized to meet their unique cultural needs. This paper discusses the rationale for the translation of Moodle into Te Reo Māori, and gives insight into the processes implemented by translation staff of Te Ratonga Whakamāori and the university’s WCEL team. The primary focus of this paper is to outline the benefits of translating the online learning environment of Te Reo Māori second-language learners, whilst highlighting how the integration of this technology augments students’ learning inside and outside of the classroom.

title: Phage display systems for antibody engineering and evaluation

authors: Hanning, Kyrin Rene

subjects: Protein engineering

abstract: Antibodies are versatile effector molecules of the adaptive immune system, distinguished by their capacity to recognise and engage diverse antigens with high specificity and affinity. The widespread adoption of antibodies, and their various formats, in diagnostics and therapeutics has been made possible through the co-operation of experimental and computational molecular engineering techniques. Functional screening of variant antibody libraries has proven essential for successful antibody development. Several protein display technologies have been deployed for this important screening phase, including phage display. Whilst one of the older approaches, phage display still offers many advantages over alternatives and synergises well with other advances in molecular biology techniques. This thesis demonstrates how phage display, when paired with modern techniques in novel ways, remains an extremely flexible and powerful tool for engineering and evaluating antibodies.
