title: Evaluating Jacquet's GL(n) Whittaker function

authors: Broughan, Kevin A.

subjects: mathematics

abstract: Algorithms for the explicit symbolic and numeric evaluation of Jacquet's Whittaker function for the GL(n,R)based generalized upper half-plane for n≥2, and an implementation for symbolic evaluation in the Mathematica package GL(n)pack, are described. This requires a comparison of the different definitions of Whittaker function which have appeared in the literature.

title: The shape of curriculum change: A short discussion of key findings from the Curriculum Implementation Studies (CIES) project

authors: Cowie, Bronwen

subjects: Curriculum Implementation Exploratory Studies

abstract: This short report discusses the overall shape of curriculum change as experienced by the schools we tracked over a period of several years as part of the Curriculum Implementation Exploratory Studies (CIES) project. Some interesting change dynamics appear over this longer time frame. We would not have found these dynamics if we had stopped at the end of the first round of CIES, at which point we had visited some “early adopter” schools twice in a period of 18 months or so.

title: Whakaoranga taiao, whakaoranga tangata: The restorative, healing, and decolonising potential of environmental restoration

authors: Moore, Robert

abstract: This thesis explores the ways in which Māori who are involved in environmental restoration are able to use their experiences to reconnect with Te Ao Māori. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with three Māori who have been involved in environmental restoration in and around Kirikiriroa. These research participants were also able to speak to what they have observed in other restoration projects at their respective marae and comment broadly about this work as it is taking place across Aotearoa. It became clear through this research that the impacts of history and colonisation are still felt heavily by Māori in the environmental space today. For Māori involved in environmental restoration, this is a place where they are able to learn and share knowledge and reconnect with their Māoritanga. Environmental restoration can help restore wairua relationships with the whenua and strengthen Maori wellbeing through strengthening relationships with the whenua. Engaging in environmental restoration supports decolonisation as, for the aforementioned outcomes of doing so, being in these spaces supports the affirmation of an Indigenous identity.
