title: Options to reduce New Zealand's process heat emissions

authors: Atkins, Martin John

abstract: The New Zealand Energy Efficiency and Conservation Strategy (NZEECS) 2017-2022 committed MBIE and EECA to prepare an action plan for mitigating the greenhouse gas emissions impact of process heat in New Zealand. To meet this commitment the Process Heat in New Zealand (PHiNZ) project was initiated and this work will contribute to PHiNZ. The purpose of this work was to identify, quantify and cost mitigation options to reduce the GHG emissions associated with the use of process heat in New Zealand. The information supplied by the work will inform:
- analysis and policy development, both by MBIE and EECA as part of PHiNZ but also by the Ministry for the Environment (MfE) as part of its wider climate change work;
- priority areas for action by government;
- process heat users about their emissions profile;
- process heat users of possible options to mitigate their emissions.

title: Summary of the diary study: “Please feed the digital parrot”

authors: Schweer, Andrea

subjects: diary study

abstract: This document summarises the findings of the diary study “Please feed the Digital Parrot” conducted in May 2007. The aim of this study was to collect real-world examples of remembering behaviour. We show the most interesting entries we collected, highlighting the kinds of information people wish to remember, the situations in which they wish to remember this information and how they go about remembering information. We discuss in which ways the findings deviate from our expectations and the implications of our observations for context-aware systems research and for future diary studies.

title: Dying to research: An autoethnographic exploration of researching Māori and whānau experiences of end-of-life care

authors: Moeke-Maxwell, Tess

subjects: indigenous

abstract: The authors critically reflect on the autoethnographic process involved in navigating a smooth pathway towards investigating dying, death and bereavement for Māori whānau (families) in a way that supports and gives voice to their experience. This study, based in the Māori & Psychology Research Unit at The University of Waikato, is supported by a Health Research Council Erihapeti Rehu-Murchie Career Development Award. It explores the “end-of-life” journeys of Māori and their whānau in South Auckland and Waikato, through the dying process and subsequent challenges of bereavement. The researcher’s journey from novice to someone fully enmeshed in the struggles and triumphs of conducting research with Māori is examined. There is reflection on the challenges and issues that have emerged since settling on this research topic. These include ethical concerns, and the processes and outcomes associated with negotiating tensions between a shifting academic objectivity and the development of a methodology requiring subjective reflexivity.
