title: The three dimensions of online child pornography offending

authors: Merdian, Hannah Lena

subjects: child pornography offending

abstract: The internet has opened up opportunities for non-contact sex offending, such as the viewing of child pornography. This paper proposes a model for the classification of child pornography offenders as an aid for their assessment and treatment, deducted from empirical studies and existing typologies for child pornography offenders. Different subgroups of child pornography offenders may be described according to three dimensions: (1) type of offending, (2) the motivation behind child pornography offending and (3) the situational and social engagement in the offending behaviour. Distinct pathways of child pornography offending can be identified, related to differing criminogenic needs, severity of offending, and appropriate assessment and treatment strategies for the offenders.

title: Introduction to special issue: Mobile technologies and learning

authors: Calder, Nigel Stuart

abstract: The ways that mobile technologies are used for learning needs to be examined. Mobile technologies are a relatively recent addition to the way we communicate and engage with the world. They allow flexible ways to interact with people and in a diversity of environments and contexts. They have the potential to bring the world into our hands. Does this flexibility and potential in communication transfer to education? When digital technologies first entered onto the education landscape much was made of their promise to transform the learning process. In his seminal work Mindstorms: Children, computers and powerful ideas, Papert (1980) identified potential for digital environments to reshape the way that learning was engaged with, and hence for understanding to emerge in alternative ways (Calder, 2011). But has this potential been realised? Are educators using the same pedagogies but through digital media or are there fundamental changes in the way learning is occurring? Are mobile technologies opening up new ways of learning that might appeal to a more diverse range of learners? In this special issue, the focus is on mobile technologies and learning. The articles explore the use of mobile technologies in a variety of contexts, across a range of curriculum areas.

title: Whanau Maori explain how the Harti Hauora Tool assists with better access to health services (vol 25, pg 471, 2019)

authors: Masters-Awatere, Bridgette

subjects: Science & Technology

abstract: In this paper, whānau Māori highlight how a Kaupapa Māori-centred intervention (the Harti Hauora Tamariki tool, hereafter Harti tool) has improved interactions with health services. The Harti tool is undergoing a randomised control trial (RCT) at Waikato Hospital in New Zealand. As part of the RCT, the authors engaged in a series of qualitative interviews with whānau members of tamariki Māori (children aged 0–5 years) admitted to Waikato Hospital’s paediatric ward. Whānau who met at least one criteria for New Zealand’s domains of deprivation were included. Using a Kaupapa Māori approach to the study, participants shared their views on barriers and facilitators to accessing health resources and primary care services. The interviews conducted highlight how the Harti tool, when administered in a culturally appropriate and respectful manner that prioritised relationship-building, enabled better connection to healthcare services. Prevalent in our analysis were connections to wider determinants of health and ways to reduce existing health inequities. To conclude the paper, how the Harti tool has enhanced feelings of being in control of health, with the potential to reduce the likelihood of a hospital readmission, is highlighted.
