title: Police conducts and the death of a citizen: on citizens' rights and others

authors: Liao, Zhixiong (Leo)

subjects: Police conducts

abstract: A Chinese citizen died suddenly during a police raid on "suspected prostitution" which raised doubts on whether the police's conducts were appropriate. This article discusses issues regarding the protection of civil rights during police investigations and the use of force/firearms, and liabilities of abuse of power by police, looking into the Chinese law, other jurisdictions and the international treaties/declarations.

title: Laplace-type equations as conformal superintegrable systems

authors: Kalnins, Ernie G.

subjects: conformal superintegrability

abstract: We lay out the foundations of the theory of second order conformal superintegrable systems. Such systems are essentially Laplace equations on a manifold with an added potential: (Δn+V(x))Ψ=0. Distinct families of second order superintegrable Schrödinger (or Helmholtz) systems (Δ’n+V’(x) )Ψ=ΕΨ can be incorporated into a single Laplace equation. There is a deep connection between most of the special functions of mathematical physics, these Laplace conformally superintegrable systems and their conformal symmetry algebras. Using the theory of the Laplace systems, we show that the problem of classifying all 3D Helmholtz superintegrable systems with nondegenerate potentials, i.e., potentials with a maximal number of independent parameters, can be reduced to the problem of classifying the orbits of the nonlinear action of the conformal group on a 10-dimensional manifold.

title: Te Tarata

authors: Maxwell, Te Kahautu

abstract: This composition placed second in the Haka Composition Section. Te Tarata this composition commemorates the battle of Te Tarata in Te Whakatōhea 15 October 1865. This was the aftermath of the killing of the missionary Rev Carl Sylvius Volkner on the 2 March 1865. At the battle of Te Tarata it is recorded as the only calvary charge in the New Zealand Land Wars. Te Whakatōhea ingeniously wove around the palisade walls tī kouka (Cordyline australis) or cabbage tree. When the canon ball hit the palisades the tī kouka absorbed the force of the canon ball and rebounded the ball. 20 Te Whakatohea were killed and a number of others were wounded. This composition was performed by Ōpōtiki Mai Tawhiti at the Te Matatini World Championship Kapa Haka Competition 2015.
