title: Indian women's experiences of domestic violence in the context of migration to Aotearoa New Zealand: The role of women's in-laws

authors: Somasekhar, Sripriya

abstract: Indian migrant women may experience violence and abuse not only from their partner but also from members of his family, including the mother-in-law. Such violence and abuse need to be understood within a cultural context in which arranged marriage and the provision of dowry are still normative. These arrangements give in-laws considerable leverage over married women and their natal family. We show how these dynamics can play out in the context of migration making women vulnerable to exploitation, close surveillance, control, isolation and abuse. It is important that service providers in the host country become educated about such dynamics.

title: MetropolJS: Visualizing and debugging large-scale JavaScript program structure with treemaps

authors: Scarsbrook, Joshua D.

subjects: computer science

abstract: As a result of the large scale and diverse composition of modern compiled JavaScript applications, comprehending overall program structure for debugging is challenging. In this paper we present our solution: MetropolJS. By using a Treemap-based visualization it is possible to get a high level view within limited screen real estate. Previous approaches to Treemaps lacked the fine detail and interactive features to be useful as a debugging tool. This paper introduces an optimized approach for visualizing complex program structure that enables new debugging techniques where the execution of programs can be displayed in real time from a bird's-eye view. The approach facilitates highlighting and visualizing method calls and distinctive code patterns on top of code segments without a high overhead for navigation. Using this approach enables fast analysis of previously difficult-to-comprehend code bases.

title: Claiming space and restoring harmony within hui whakatika

authors: Berryman, Mere

subjects: Maori

abstract: The time has come for indigenous, specifically Māori psychologies, to move from the margins, and claim legitimate space within the discipline of psychology (MPRU, 2007). Phinney and Rotheram (1987) argue that there are ethnicallylinked ways of thinking, feeling and acting that are acquired through socialisation. The message implicit in this statement has profound implications for a discipline that seeks to understand and respond to the intricacies of human behaviour. Although the epistemological paradigms emerging from the experiences of indigenous minorities such as Māori may offer a challenge to mainstream knowledge and perspectives (Gordon, 1997), it is clear that disregarding such alternatives may well leave the discipline of psychology impoverished. On the other hand, paying attention to alternative paradigms may well serve to enrich this discipline. This paper presents two successful Hui Whakatika that were led by Māori in mainstream settings. Particular dimensions of, and congruencies between both are explored. The first highlights the vital role of a kaumatua in facilitating and guiding the entire process; the second focuses on the role and experiences of a kaitakawaenga as he works collaboratively with whānau members to find resolution and restore harmony.
