title: Faulting within the Hamilton Basin: Recent Progress

authors: Moon, Vicki G.

abstract: This presentation is an overview of the results since 2015 of our research into active faulting within the Hamilton Basin. The presentation includes the results of: Ongoing reviews of existing data, particularly fromg ravity, seismic & drill surveys for oil, gas & coal; CHIRP seismic reflection survey & geological mapping along the Waikato River; Measurements from excavations for the Waikato Expressway that have exposed faults; Electrical resistivity surveys to locate sites for trenchin; and Coring of peat lakes with CT scanning of recovered cores.

title: Chinese and English language versions: intellectual capital disclosure

authors: Liao, Likang

subjects: accounting

abstract: Purpose – The paper of this paper is to assess the extent and quality of IC disclosure in the Chinese and English language versions of the annual reports of 50 Chinese companies which are dual listed in both Chinese Mainland and Hong Kong stock markets.

Design/methodology/approach – An IC disclosure index is constructed. Content analysis is used to code the 100 annual reports in accordance to a five-point scale.

Findings – The Chinese version annual reports disclose more internal capital than the English versions, yet the English versions showed greater external capital. There was found to be a strong relationship between type of industries, the size of companies and the level of IC disclosure.

Research limitations/implications – The paper only examines one year's annual reports of the top 50 Chinese companies by market capitalisation.

Practical implications – It is hoped that by highlighting the IC disclosure of companies in China this will raise the level of debate around this issue and will lead to greater disclosure transparency of company reporting.

Originality/value – This is the first research study that compares the IC disclosure in different language versions of annual reports of Chinese companies as well as testing for the effects of company characteristics. It is also the first study that uses three different weighting methods to measure disclosure quality.

title: The development of an indigenous knowledge program in a New Zealand Maori-language immersion school

authors: Harrison, Barbara

subjects: knowledge

abstract: In 1985, Te Wharekura o Rakaumangamanga initiated a Maori-language immersion program for children ages 5 through 18. In recent years, a program based on Waikato-Tainui tribal epistemology has been incorporated into the language immersion program. This article describes the community context and the language immersion and tribal knowledge programs. We consider the relationship of these programs to individual and tribal self-determination and to theories of minority achievement, particularly the work of John Ogbu.
