title: An analysis of ethnic differences in UK graduate migration behaviour

authors: Faggian, Alessandra

subjects: employment-migration behaviour

abstract: In this paper, we analyse the employment–migration behaviour of 13,753 UK university graduates. In particular, we distinguish between five different types of sequential migration behaviour from domicile to higher education and on to employment. By controlling for a range of variables relating to human capital acquisition, local economic conditions and personal characteristics, we are able to identify the role of ethnicity in determining the interregional migration behaviour of university graduates.

title: Sedimentary structures, texture and paleoenvironment of the Hinuera Formation

authors: Sherwood, Alan M.

abstract: The Hinuera Formation is the extensive Upper Pleistocene terrestrial deposit of alluvial origin, underlying the plains of the Hamilton Basin and the Hauraki Lowland. The textures and sedimentary structures of ten stratigraphic sections are studied in detail, and indicate uniformity of the Hinuera Formation on a regional scale. Four dominant lithotypes occur: rhyolitic and pumiceous gravelly sands, quartz sands, pumice silt, and rhyolitic sandy gravels. A variety of primary and post-depositional structures is present, and four types of cross-stratification (Rho, Nu, Epsilon and Sigma) and three types of horizontal stratification are described. Textures indicate rapid deposition in an environment of flucuating high turbulat energy. Relative energies of the different sedimentary structures are suggested from the relations of structures to texture. Sedimentary structures are also related to flow regeime. Six facies are erected for the Hinuera Formation on the basis of lithology, texture, sedimentary structures, and flow reigeme, which indicate deposition by a braided river system. Deposition was contemporaneous with intense volcanic activity in the Central Volcanic Region, which combined with the cold, wet climate of a glacial period, led to the supply of large amounts of sediment to the river systems of the region, and aggradational fans were constructed in the Hauraki Lowloan and the Hamilton Basin. The six facies are incorperated into a suggested physiographic model of the Hinuera Formation.

title: Te Pae Mahutonga and the measurement of community capital in regional Aotearoa New Zealand

authors: Ryks, John

abstract: Regionally, iwi and hapū have limited influence over structural changes such as population decline, proximity to labour markets and ageing, and to some extent economic cycles. However, there is still considerable value in thinking about how relevant indicators might point to the regeneration and overall well-being of Māori communities. In this paper we present an exploratory framework that links Durie’s Te Pae Mahutonga model of Māori well-being to the measurement of community capital. We use Te Pae Mahutonga as the basis for developing a number of key indicators for understanding Māori well-being in the regions and apply the framework and indicators to three regional settlements in Aotearoa New Zealand: Pōkeno, Huntly and Ōpōtiki.
