title: Kaum tuatanga the changing roles of kaum tua in Ng ti Rehua: Future directions

authors: Davies, Sydney Henare

subjects: Indigenous psychology

abstract: This study looks at the roles of kaum tua and investigates how these roles have changed over time. With the ageing Māori population and the reported importance of kaum tua roles in the wellbeing of Māori communities, the findings of this study provide an insight into the possible future direction of these roles. The study was conducted with the assistance of members of one hapu (N=47) that were 65 years of age and over. The study was by interview, utilising a semi-structured questionnaire with both open ended and closed questions. Narratives from participants was analysed and compared to the roles of kaum tua that were found in the literature, namely; Leadership, cultural knowledge, dispute resolution, protection and nurturing of young, provide spiritual and other guidance, social control, provide rituals, preserve te reo Māori and live active and healthy lives. Findings of this research supported the roles found in the literature. The roles of kaum tua still exist but may have diminished over time. The change in roles is in the adaptation to meet the needs of the time period while maintaining the core values of each role and providing a continuation of practices.

title: Selection of Components in Compositional Verification of Safety Properties

authors: Shi, Jinjian

subjects: Model verification

abstract: This report presents a two-step components selection method to compose the components for compositional verification. This method employs different methods for the selection of components to be composed during compositional verification. Also, this report presents some automata transformation strategies to improve the efficiency of composing and projection. This enhanced compositional verification method is applied to a set of large and complex realistic industrial examples to evaluate and compare the performance of different methods for components selection. The example profisafe_i6 [MM03] [MM02] [PN02], which was never verified for the language inclusion check before, is verified first by this enhanced compositional verification method.
