title: Critical hospitality and work: (In)hospitable employment in the hospitality industry

authors: McIntosh, Alison J.

abstract: This issue brings together five articles in a critical discussion about the nature of hospitality work. The aim of this issue is to raise questions about hospitality and work, not just in business and managerial terms, but in terms that transgress a diversity of fields and perspectives. Specifically, the articles in this issue call attention to the employee voice and experience; issues of gender; performance, embodiment and emotional labour; to broader issues concerning labour mobilities and meaningful work. As earlier versions of these articles were presented at the Critical Tourism Studies Conference, University of Wales Cardiff in July 2011, this issue aims to link critical hospitality and critical tourism research and pedagogy. Aligned to the aims of this journal, we aim to further encourage a move in hospitality studies towards more critical paths of enquiry (Tribe 2005), to advocate a critical turn (Ateljevic et al. 2007), and to amass critical thinkers, studying a critical issue and engage critical theory (Wilson et al. 2008, 2012).

title: Corrections to Compact Nonlinear Model of an Implantable Electrode Array for Spinal Cord Stimulation

authors: Scott, Jonathan B.

abstract: Reference [1] describes the construction of a model of the electrode-electrolyte interface and the surrounding electrolyte for a platinum-electrode array used in Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS) applications. In that paper, a key advancement was a compact equivalent-circuit model of a constant phase element (CPE) that can be entered into the SPICE simulator. The authors of [1] relied heavily on mathematics taken from [2] by Morrison. While the mathematics in [2] produces a zero error in phase, it results in a finite error in magnitude. Morrison makes no claim about this error in the magnitude approximation, which escaped the authors of [1]. Morrison does not explain how he arrived at (18), and (19) proves to be incorrect.

title: Ranapia Mokena: son of Mokena Hou

authors: Hart, Philip

abstract: Little is known of the early life of Ranapia Mokena. He owned land close to Thames and acquired interests in other blocks, which provided him with some income, but he was never wealthy, as indicated by his being sued for a series of small debts. He invested in a small way in mining at both Thames and Te Aroha, and even worked in one claim. His life was most notable for being a deacon in the Church of England.
Ranapia was another example of a rangatira who supported the Crown, as was illustrated by his becoming a member of the Thames Native Rifle Volunteers. Childless, in his old age he brought up a niece’s daughter.
