title: Developing CASE tools which support integrated development notations

authors: Grundy, John C.

subjects: computer science

abstract: This paper discusses the recent work of the authors in developing Integrated CASE (ICASE) tools which support multiple development notations. We use a four-step methodology to develop these integrated tools. The conceptual data models of different notations are first developed, and then merged into an integrated conceptual data model. Dynamic mappings between different notations components are used to describe how related notation components are kept consistent under change. The conceptual data models and mappings are used to implement individual CASE tools for each notation. Separate tools are then integrated by linking their repositories via a shared repository based on the integrated conceptual data model. We discuss extensions to this work which will provide MetaCASE facilities for environment generation and evolution.

title: Why honey is effective as a medicine. 1. Its use in modern medicine

authors: Molan, Peter C.

subjects: biology

abstract: Honey has been used as a medicine for thousands of years and its curative properties are well documented. However, modern medicine turned its back on honey and it is only now, with the advent of multi-resistant bacteria, that the antibiotic properties of honey are being rediscovered.

title: Cultural knowledge and identity for wellbeing and success: Trying to make the connections in the north of New Zealand.

authors: Hohepa, Margie Kahukura

subjects: New Zealand

abstract: This paper argues that secure cultural identity is essential to wellbeing and cultural identity is important to Māori youth participation and success. The roles of community and schools in developing secure cultural identity are increasingly complex, as both become increasingly more culturally and ethnically diverse in many parts of the world.
The paper discusses findings from student survey data from a 2 year project ‘Te Wehi Nui a Mamao: Maximising the potential of tribal marae and regional language among youth', which began in July 2008, supported by funding from New Zealand's Foundation of Research, Science and Technology. This project aims to strengthen the relevance of tribal marae and regional Maori language among Maori youth, which are identified as important to Māori cultural identity.
Inter-generational transfer of tribal marae knowledge and language is becoming more compromised. Many cultural values are defined on marae. Tribal leaders have long been concerned about disconnections between Māori youth and tribal marae, poor knowledge of regional dialect and the potential negative consequences for full participation in society. .It appears that Māori youth are disconnected from regional language dialects and marae knowledge now more than ever. Reconnecting Māori youth with these two sources of tribal identity is the key to the purpose of this project.
