title: PBRF on the horizon

authors: Smith, Ron C.

subjects: PBRF

abstract: New Zealand universities spend a great deal of time and money evaluating the research outputs of their staff in the cause of Performance Based Research Funding (PBRF).  This time and money is wasted since the assumptions that lie behind this process are fatally flawed and the results are neither valid nor fair.  Additionally PBRF is inconsistent with the universities’ obligations to be ‘critic and conscience’ for society and to scholarship, itself.  The paper argues that no further assessments of this kind should be undertaken.

title: Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS)

authors: Roemer, Anja

abstract: The Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS) is a widely used measure for assessing levels of positive and negative affect. Its excellent psychometric properties make it a popular tool among researchers. This chapter provides an overview of the PANAS, outlining its theoretical background and describing its initial development and validation. It presents the results of factor analysis and reliability statistics, as well as evidence for its construct validity. It is important to note that affective measures such as the PANAS are particularly valuable in mindfulness research. The ability to regulate one’s affective states is a crucial component of mindfulness, and the PANAS can help researchers assess how mindfulness interventions impact affective states. This chapter also highlights more recent studies that support the psychometric properties of the PANAS and its usefulness in mindfulness research. The PANAS has been used in many languages and has demonstrated adequate reliability and validity across different cultures. Overall, the PANAS is an important tool for assessing affective states in research, particularly in the context of mindfulness interventions.

(TKPOT, 2010-2016).¹

Ka hoki nei kia Te Maunga rāua ko Hinepukohurangi, ki te taetanga mai hoki o Mataatua waka², ko ngā kura o tawhito, kura wānanga, kura parawhakawai o te iwi o Tūhoe ngā tino whare whakapakari pōkaitāniwhaniwha mō roto i te whare o te kahikatoa. Īnā te rahi o ngā toataumatarau i puta ngā ihu, ka tū rātau hai toa rangatira ārahi i te iwi. Ki te kore ēneki kura o te nehenehe kāre he oranga, kāre e eke te iwi ngā whakairinga tūmanako e wawatatia ana e rātau.
 
Waihoki, ko te kaupapa e rangahau ana i tēnei tuhinga he whakapono, he whakapae, kai konei tonu tēnei hua o te wānanga. He kura hai whakapakari rangatira mō āpōpō. Ahakoa tēnei ao hurihuri koinei tonu tētahi huarahi nā te Māori, nā Tūhoe hai whakaohooho mā ngā uri whakaheke, e mau pū ai a Ngāi Tūhoe ki ōna kura tapu o nehe.
