title: Anonymous Mobile Service Collaboration

authors: Zhao, Chao

subjects: Anonymous Mobile Service

abstract: Since the advent of mobile devices, a large amount of Applications (Apps) have been released to offer compatible services to satisfy the different needs of users all over the world, especially location-aware services, which have become more and more popular in today’s market. Normally, these Apps need to collaborate with other service providers, for example, the App needs the map service to show the location to users, and the map service needs to be supported by the location-based service to offer the coordinate data. In some situations, an App may find more than one service offering the same type of data; they may be located in different places and be in, or on, different networks, so the App service needs to consider which service provider to use. Quality is the most important factor to identify how good a service provider is. It includes many different factors, like the response time, accuracy, eliability, also security and privacy, because users may not want a third party to know who uses this service and where the user is. In this way, the mobile service collaboration has to be anonymous. In this project, an event-based, context-aware service collaboration is implemented, and it is on a publish/subscribe basis, also anonymity and quality are focused on as the most important factors in the implementation.

title: Holding a mirror to society? Sociodemographic diversity within clinical psychology training programmes across Aotearoa.

authors: Scarf, Damian

subjects: Education, Medical

abstract: It has recently been demonstrated by Crampton et al that there has been a marked increase in the sociodemographic diversity of the University of Otago’s health professional programmes between 2010 and 2016.1 This change is evidenced by the fact that a historic 76 health professional Māori graduates crossed the Dunedin Town Hall stage in December 2018. A key driver of this change was the University of Otago’s Division of Health Sciences Mirror on Society selection policy. Here, by documenting the sociodemographic diversity of an equally important professional programme, clinical psychology, we highlight the need for similar selection policies to be implemented Aotearoa/New Zealand wide.
