title: Analysis of catchment hydrology and nutrient loads for lakes Rotorua and Rotoiti

authors: Beya, Jose

abstract: A water and nutrient budget has been derived from lakes Rotorua and Rotoiti to complement an earlier report to the Lakes Water Quality Society that considered only internal (bottom sediment-derived) sources of nutrients for these two lakes. Twenty-six inflows to Lake Rotorua that have been monitored for varying periods are considered in this report. The combined annual mean discharge of these inflows varies between 12 and 17m3s-1 depending on the time period selected, which likely reflects long-term variations in rainfall and groundwater levels. Correlations of discharge in the Utuhina Stream with discharges of other major inflows were generally significant and reinforce the concept that discharges from individual streams respond in a synchronous fashion across the catchment of Lake Rotorua.

title: "Everything has shaped you": Contributors to young Māori university students' ability to flourish

authors: Major, Darcie Ngahuia

subjects: Maori

abstract: There are many disparities when considering the health and wellbeing of Māori in Aotearoa today, and the education sector is no different, with Māori less likely to leave school with level 2 certificate or higher compared with non-Māori.  In response to the deficit orientated research on Māori and education, my thesis explores those factors contributing to young Māori tertiary students flourishing. My research includes five students from the University of Waikato who were between the ages of 17-24 years. A multi-method qualitative approach was utilised while engaging a Kaupapa Māori research framework. Participants were found to have a range of interconnected factors which contribute to their ability to flourish both inside and outside of the university.  Of particular importance to my participants was relational connectedness or whanaungatanga within and outside of the tertiary environment, landscapes which offered multiple forms of care, and notions of both collective and individual motivation. Some of the challenges experienced by my participants included a sense of socio-cultural isolation, the minimal inclusion of Māori worldviews and perspectives within the general curriculum, and the personal stress of responding to negative stereotypes of Maori as generally unproductive members of society. Flourishing for my participants is therefore multi-layered, and recognises the interconnected nature of health and wellbeing.
