title: Letter to the Editor concerning ‘The Calf Raise App shows good concurrent validity compared with a linear encoder in measuring total concentric work’: Let's not compare apples to oranges

authors: Hébert-Losier, Kim

abstract: The authors state that this study was designed as a validity study, yet it appears to be an add‐on to another prospectively registered study (NCT05323773) with no initial intention of concurrent validation of the Calf Raise App. To properly assess the validity of the systems, similar reference points (e.g., the lateral side of the foot) should be used, and outcomes should be compared to a gold standard, such as 3D motion analysis.

title: Adult education within a circular migration scheme. A case study from New Zealand

authors: Morrison, Sandra L.

subjects: adult education

abstract: This article examines the adult education and learning that occurs between a Māori business and the workers they employ from the Pacific nation of Tonga through the Recognised Seasonal Employer (RSE) scheme, a seasonal labour strategy allowing for the temporary entry of migrant workers in the horticulture and viticultural industries, with a preference for workers from the Pacific nations.. Māori are indigenous to NZ but their historical ties extend back to Polynesia in the Pacific and therefore common historical narratives exist between Māori and those from Tonga. A case study approach is used to highlight how adult education is embedded. Central to the success of this case study is the validation and implementation of indigenous knowledges and rituals.
