▼ The aims and questions within the project are to assess the effectiveness of the Ōrongomai Marae community reintegration programme led by ex‐prisoners in Aotearoa
New Zealand.
The researcher has worked with prisoners in education, mentoring and social work roles over a number of years. This included the beginnings of reintegration, utilising teams from Department of Corrections and communities in the early 2000s. The reintegration programme currently at Ōrongomai Marae was written by the researcher in 2003, piloted for Ministry of Social Development in 2004 and has been consistently funded from that time.
The area of re‐integration within Aotearoa,
New Zealand is under‐researched with most programmes being modelled on British or American models, neither of which have an indigenous commitment to the reintegration. The value and benefit we hope to assess is that culture must be taken into account particularly indigenous identity and that key workers are those who have completed a reintegration journey themselves.
The researcher is currently a full-time Social Work Kaiako employed by Te Wananga o Aotearoa upon the Certificate of Social Services and Bachelor of Social Work Degree, both of which are Bi‐Culturalism in Practise and is a qualified Social Worker registered to the Social Work Registration Board (S.W.R.B.).

▼ Asset Based Community Development (ABCD) has in recent times been gaining visibility in community development practice. Practice is asset based, internally focused and relationship driven. Dimensions of community development are explored including the specific values, principles and processes that characterise ABCD as an approach, a strategy and a methodology. Critical success factors and principles of effective community development practice. These findings are consolidated in a framework of praxis indicators which is used to specifically examine ABCD practice application in current community development practice.
Three community projects are explored using an integrated methodology which explores practice through questioning of key informants and examination of relevant project artefacts. Through this approach it was possible to demonstrate how ABCD is mobilised in practical application demonstrating the positive impact on community led participation and enhanced local social capital within localised community.
Particular strengths of ABCD practice can be seen in the identification and mobilisation of local community resources through bonding, bridging and linking across sector networks which through its processes enhances social capital within defined local neighbourhoods. The impacts of practice are explored through the application of a community capitals framework which additionally highlights mobilisation of natural, built, human, cultural, financial and political capital. Specific enablers identified include the necessity for a catalyst to both ignite and sustain community led ABCD initiatives and consideration of scale in its effectiveness. Potentially ABCD practice could be further enhanced through intentional application of a community capitals framework and social network analysis and further research into its intentional application in these ways would be beneficial.
ABCD is shown to be a particularly powerful approach, strategy and methodology in its application to activating the local physical environment such as local food security initiatives and also as a mechanism to enable the localised sharing of knowledge and resources within a defined geographic neighbourhoods. Innovative financial models were developed including community resource banks, time banks and diverse alternative economy potential.

▼ This proposal develops a design for a textile museum and gallery. The design has been produced as a result of an indepth analysis of textile arts and the information that can be derived from their application in architecture. The research is based upon the theoretical influence that Gottfried Semper specified in his writings on the topic of textiles and their relationship in architecture. The design explores the application of textiles in architecture in various ways; from translating textile inspired structures into tectonic materials, to the incorporation of textile materials with traditional building construction, all with the aim of exploiting textiles and all that they can offer to the development of a
New Zealand contemporary architecture.

Potential best practice for improving the access to development finance by SMEs in Lao PDR.

▼ Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are important to all economies, especially emerging economies like Lao People’s Democratic Republic (PDR) as they account for a majority of private sector businesses and are essential in generating wealth and social stability through employment creation and national outputs via investment. Even though globalization and trade liberalization bring vast benefits to businesses at all levels, the lack of access to finance by SMEs still poses negative consequences that largely endanger the economic development of the country. Despite the large amount of research that has been done on the access constraints for SMEs, limited studies have addressed the financial factors hampering the SME growth in Laos.
Therefore, the present research aims at investigating possible best practices to overcome factors undermining the banks’ ability to expand credits to the SME segment. Hence this qualitative study is employed to explore issues hampering both the supply and demand sides. The study covers some of the perspectives from the government, the banks and the SMEs through interviews with 12 participants. Taking into account the dynamicity and wide variety of different operational practices of banks and SMEs, exploring factors hindering the two sectors is significantly important.
Regarding supply constraints, a number of obstacles such as poor implementation mechanisms, especially on collateral enforceability; inadequate infrastructure such as a lack of reliable data by the central credit information bureau; and a lack of supporting policies remain crucial impediments which are continuously perceived as a thorn for the country’s government. As a result, SME accessibility is greatly damaged by the banks’ low risk appetites.
Demand constraints however, range from factors affecting the SMEs’ feasibility to the direct access for bank financing which is associated with the lack of know-how, limited financial literacy and the inability to present viable business plans. These issues force the SMEs to rely heavily on informal sources of finance especially from personal wealth and private lenders.
Realizing both the demand and supply constraints; improving the legal framework in terms of enforcing current laws and regulations; providing government subsidies and special privileges are perceived as complementary to government efforts to improve satisfying levels for private, state-owned and foreign banks to focus more on increasing SME portfolios. To ensure that the ultimate goals for both banks and SMEs are achieved, it is essential to encourage and increase coordination by all related stakeholders. The government, private sector and development agencies should work collaboratively to actively adopt and maintain a holistic approach to effectively develop both banking and SME sectors in order to help achieve the government’s objectives.

▼ RESEARCH QUESTION:
How can a single piece of architecture be designed to encourage people to expend calories through physical activity on a daily basis and promote healthier eating, with the aim of shifting them away from lifestyles that lead to obesity?
This thesis project is an architectural response to the global obesity epidemic. Obesity prevalence rates are increasing around the world at such an alarming rate, that a problem which was not a pressing issue two generations ago, is now threatening to be a health issue on a scale the world has never seen before. The consequences of the obesity epidemic
are far reaching and devastating. Cardiovascular disease, diabetes and premature loss of life are but a few of the possible consequences.
The question for the architectural profession is: Does architecture have a role to play in helping to reduce the prevalence of obesity? Although easy to say that architecture is not responsible for peoples’ increasingly sedentary lifestyles and unhealthy eating, research around the world is beginning to suggest differently. This project is an exploration, based on
literature reviews and precedent studies, on how one piece of architecture can be designed to encourage the expenditure of calories through physical activity on a daily basis and promote healthier eating, with the aim of shifting people away from lifestyles that lead to obesity.

▼ This research project is an investigation into the aesthetics and craft of traditional timber jointing techniques. It is an endeavour to grasp the essence of the timber joint and the craft by which it is produced and to develop it architecturally in the form of a pavilion for the general public in a national park. Traditional timber jointing techniques were productions of culture ; wrote learned, copied, and gradually refined over time. They have been widely used both structurally and decoratively and predominantly carry a high sense of craftsmanship and romanticism. Due to the need for highly skilled craftsmen and a rather time consuming production method this process has become largely attenuated through time. Nowadays, buildings with finely detailed timber joints are very rare because of the high cost involved in terms of time and labour; there are much quicker production methods that are generally more favoured. This thesis will explore the joint and discuss the merits of the discourse with craft in the wider context and considers the relevance of this, not just as a way of tradition. This will be outworked through the synthesise of this methodology with a design for a timber pavilion that translates some of the concepts of jointing that Mies van der Rohe used in the Farnsworth House with steel. An investigation of different joints through physically crafting them is a fundamental aspect of this process. The performance of the outcome can be marked by a successful integration of craft into the architectural design, which conveys the attitude of thoughtful correspondence between craft and design. Moreover, it completes the narrative of architecture as an edificatory process. SITE: Torrent Bay, Abel Tasman National Park, South Island,

▼ This document charts a painter’s intention to evolve ambiguous and geographically indeterminate spaces that are potentially neither inside nor outside, public or private that are constructed from two dimensional images, in an unremitting state of realisation, keeping our view in constant motion. Postmodern discourses relating to interiority and discussed in architecture and interior design were used as a lens to extend and challenge the context and content of this figurative painting practice.
Architectural theorist Beatriz Colomina’s critique of Peter and Alison Smithson’s House of the Future (1956), laid the groundwork for the theoretical position of this project, by focusing upon how domestic conditions are dichotomous. Anthony Vidler’s writing on Architecture Cornered: Notes on the Anxiety of Architecture and the theories of Jeanette Budgett on the curtain designs of Petra Blaisse, appraise the domestic interior in
new ways. they all draw attention to levels of discomfort in the representation of the domestic realm.
To mine the notion of security versus disharmony in paintings of rooms, research began into potential and variable thresholds and boundaries of domestic spaces. 1960’s
New Zealand modernist interiors, architecture and objects give regional resonance in the experimentation of subject matter.
A critical shift from looking to an interior as subject, to a pivotal focus on the interiority of the practice resulted in a greater awareness of process in the construction of paintings. Clarification of key procedural approaches led to an apparent division of subject matter into the re-presentation of portraiture, and paintings of fabricated rooms. This strategy established a dialogue that sets up tensions between both subject and painting conventions in the manipulation of spatial ambiguity in the picture plane. Synthesis of theoretical and practical research culminates in populated painted aggregations of the domestic interior, paintings that make manifest a re-engineering of the familiar through technique, content, and context.

▼ This research is set in the context of
New Zealand and specifically in Auckland secondary schools which are becoming increasingly diverse in terms of ethnicity. Leaders in these schools face challenges to manage diversity to achieve inclusion of a diverse range of ethnically-related values, cultures and expectations. Many international studies advocate for the introduction of ethnically inclusive practices because these support student success. In the absence of any specific studies of ethnically inclusive practices in
New Zealand schools, this thesis attempts to close a gap in the literature.This research uses a qualitative approach in two case studies of multi-ethnic state secondary schools in South Auckland. Across the two case studies, data were collected using semi-structured interviews of senior leaders. Documentary analysis of school charter and equity policies was carried out to gain an understanding of the intent of managing ethnic diversity The findings of the study revealed the leaders valued ethnic diversity and were committed to improving the academic achievement of all students by using inclusive practices that could impact on student success. On the other hand, the study revealed that inclusive practices where not evident to any large extent compared to what the literature establishes as effective practice. The majority of these practices focused on Maori and Pasifika students with other ethnic groups generally excluded. Minor ethnic groups were recognised in practices such as promoting student leadership and sporting activities in a few instances. Leaders’ attempts to increase inclusive strategies were challenged by difficulties such as understanding of the concepts of ethnic inclusion, cultures of ethnic groups apart from Pasifika and Maori, recruiting ethnically representative staff and low levels of parental involvement. The study recommends that leaders develop a more clear understanding of the ethnically inclusive practices and promote open dialogue about the needs of ethnic groups beyond the current focus on Maori and Pasifika initiatives. A further recommendation is that curriculum leaders provide teachers with professional development in the understanding of cultures of all ethnic groups.

▼ This thesis explores young women’s dis/identifications with feminism, and dis/articulations of feminism, within Aotearoa/NZ today. Grounded within a feminist poststructuralist approach, I carried out 14 semi-structured interviews with young women about their lives, feminism and postfeminism. The women were aged between 18 and 30 and came from diverse backgrounds in terms of ethnicity, sexuality and class. I then employed a discursive psychological analysis of the transcripts of the interviews. Although the majority of participants identified with feminism, feminist ideas, or explicitly as feminist on at least one occasion, for all participants these identifications were rarely straight forward. Participants drew on two key interpretive repertoires in their negotiation of feminism and the identity of feminist; firstly, an extreme-radical feminism interpretive repertoire, which was viewed negatively, and secondly, a liberal-equality feminism interpretive repertoire, which was viewed positively but simultaneously relegated feminism to history. Participants’ identifications with feminism were also mediated by their positioning on axes of privilege such as class and ethnicity, but not necessarily in straight forward ways. Furthermore, feminism was also regularly disarticulated by many of the participants through neoliberal discourses of individualism, through discourses constructing feminism as more relevant to “other”, generally Muslim, women in the world, and through a desire to distance themselves from constructions of feminism as anti-men. For the young women I interviewed, “feminism constitutes a contested and fraught territory” (Scharff, 2010, p. 831), crisscrossed with neoliberal, heteronormative and postfeminist discourses that mediate their dis/identifications with feminism and dis/articulations of feminism. Finally, I highlight how the two identified interpretive repertoires on feminism work in concert to maintain gendered power relations, before discussing some implications of the disarticulations of feminism that occurred in the present research, identifying how we might critically engage with the discourses prevalent in the disarticulations.

▼ Illustration is a medium that can enhance and interpret storytelling. When part of sequential art, like comics or graphic novels, it can effectively communicate ideas using specific visual conventions. This masters by research project investigates how visual conventions can convey the experience of travelling and cultural displacement. By using the form of a graphic novel I have converted my personal journey of moving from Germany to
New Zealand into a visual narrative. Previous research has helped me to identify the format of the graphic novel as a suitable medium for stories about journeying. It has also shown me the lack of academic research in that specific context; thereby my project can make a significant contribution to this field of creative inquiry. A heuristic method has led me to generate a body of work that spans a variety of visual conventions that convey notions of travelling, displacement and cultural shift. Further visual experiments have led me to explore a range of illustrative conventions and
new graphic approaches. I have identified six overarching themes that have informed my journey, namely memory, discovery, transition, freedom, knowledge and the quest for belonging. On this basis I have created a graphic novel which not only encompasses my personal story of living in
New Zealand, but which also reflects these universal themes of travelling and cultural displacement in its content, structure and design. Nevertheless, the outcome of my research is subjective: it does not claim to be complete. There are many more ways to convey a travel experience visually. This research project aims to represent my personal account of moving from Germany to
New Zealand by translating that travel experience into a graphic novel narrative called In the Land of the long Raincloud (Figures 12–17). It reflects different modes of journeying, from the actual physical trips I undertook in
New Zealand, to the quest for freedom and the emotional inner search for a place to belong. To achieve this I have explored visual conventions that communicate notions of travelling, displacement and cultural shift. I have focused on the process of assessing and subsequently applying these illustrative conventions to visual storytelling.

▼ This thesis, Toulanganga: A Tongan model for community engagement and social enterprise, investigates a Tongan model of tapa-making and a process of Toulanganga which it is argued, could be viewed as a metaphor for the community development of a
New Zealand-based Pacific social enterprise. This research was carried out for the multicultural members of the Multi – Educational Support and Services Trust (MESST) who shared common goals within their community development work. The research took place in Auckland, Aotearoa /
New Zealand where there is a significant Polynesian population.
The findings of the research suggest that the Toulanganga model has the potential to make significant contributions to enhance the sustainability of Pacific not for profit services in Aotearoa /
New Zealand. The Toulanganga model also has the potential to attract community collaboration and contribute to social connectedness for community engagement. The Toulanganga model is a Tongan model for embedding educational and social enterprise opportunities for Pacific people’s initiatives in
New Zealand.

▼ This study examined the teaching and learning challenges faced by teachers of students from non-English speaking backgrounds in three Auckland primary schools.
A qualitative methodology was chosen for this research project. An interpretivist approach was utilised as the study drew on gaining understandings and insights from experiences of teachers and English Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) coordinators in the three primary schools (Bryman, 2008). Data was collected through the use of questionnaires and semi-structured interviews.
The findings in this study highlight key challenges and strategies regarding the teaching and learning of their students from non-English speaking backgrounds (NESB) relating to three main themes: teacher professional development, learning and teaching issues and the importance of communication.
Teacher professional development regarding second language learners varied in nature and relevance among schools. The findings implied positive effects on teacher practice when teachers opted to take on self-directed study in the area of Teaching English in Schools to Speakers of Other Languages (TESSOL). Resource availability presented a range of implications regarding the use and availability of Ministry of Education documents, funding and time issues. Literacy issues regarding learner proficiency in their first language were common. Helping NESB students meet National Standards for Mathematics, Reading and Writing was a concern for classroom teachers. The importance of communication between teachers, NESB students and their families was evident. The challenges experienced by participants and ensuing the strategies they employed to meet these challenges give rise to a number of implications for the teaching and learning of English language learners in primary contexts.

▼ Recent research from
New Zealand suggests that one in every 120 people in
New Zealand are facing homelessness or severe housing deprivation. We also know that many people who are homeless are never counted, living in caravan parks, in overcrowded houses or boarding houses, and are what is often referred to in literature as the ‘hidden homeless’. With an increasing lack of supply of safe, affordable and secure housing in regions such as Auckland and Christchurch, the issue of homelessness is intensifying. This research will look at effective ways of providing housing support services for people who have been homeless, often due to traumatic or complex issues including abuse, relationship breakdowns, addictions, bad debt, mental health, crime, poverty and unemployment.
Models of supportive housing are discussed, with a special emphasis on the Housing First model of supportive housing and reviewing the VisionWest Community Trust’s version of the Housing First model. Key themes regarding reasons for homelessness are discussed as are some of the structural and policy issues that underpin homelessness and the interplay of both the systemic and individual issues that face people who are homeless.
The research was based on the lived experience of the participants (almost all solo mothers) in 10 houses in VisionWest’s social housing project. All of the participants and their families had been homeless, half without shelter, and the other half living in overcrowded or uninhabitable accommodation, with many having very traumatic and complex histories (abuse, trauma, addiction and imprisonment). The process enabled the participants to share their perspective on some of the issues that have led to homelessness and the change resulting from being part of VisionWest’s supportive housing programme.
The research found that providing supportive housing such as VisionWest’s Housing First model is a very successful approach in supporting people out of homelessness, including those with traumatic and complex histories, enabling them to look to their future and the future of their children with a sense of hope based on real social, psychological and economic progress. Based on international literature and information available in
New Zealand, it was found that this model costs a fraction of the price associated with other interventions such as emergency housing, prison or health and welfare interventions. It is therefore crucial that government officials, policy makers, funders and community housing providers join together to find innovative solutions for the funding of supportive housing services throughout
New Zealand.

▼ This research represents the testimony of six women’s understanding of the divine feminine, including myself as co-researcher. Through a co-operative inquiry, we explored how our understanding influences us as social practitioners. Co-operative inquiry offered us an experiential and participative process to engage with the topic, by using a radical approach to research, in which the traditional role of researcher was replaced by a team of co-researchers all in equal positions. In this way, the research outcomes were generated based on a group effort.
This study is important because an inquiry into the divine feminine demonstrates the challenges we face as social justice advocates particularly in terms of our personal identity as women and our personal experiences of power. The research suggests if we are truly to engage in practices that are emancipatory, empowering and transformative, we need to address those challenges and review our relationship to power. The results of this research demonstrate how the process of inquiry into the divine feminine calls for:
having a balanced view, particularly in activism
reclaiming our power in our relationship to our womanhood and femininity
reclaiming our relationship to our body, our feeling self and to nature
We were each touched, moved and inspired by the inquiry process. The inward reflection not only honed our self-reflective skills, it also created a bridge to a deeper understanding of who we are. We learnt through group dynamics, how to collaborate and authentically engage in reflection and meaning-making, despite our differences and beliefs. We uncovered, through transformation of our being, the qualities of the divine feminine. What we discovered, was not a list of qualities to aspire to, rather the transformative aspect of the divine feminine was in the process of inquiry. It was in this process of inquiring what the divine feminine means, that each of us came into relationship with ourselves in a
new transformative way.

▼ Since 2003 the enterprises have accelerated research in this approach through development of methods, tools and other technologies in support of the artifact-centric approach. The artifact-centric approach is expected to become a promising trend for business communities and practitioners, as well as for people working in information
technology, to use in business process modelling. Our research provides an approach or method that can help business stakeholders to understand the artifact-centric approach.
The artifact-centric modelling is based on business rules and focuses on how business data is changed or updated by certain actions or services throughout the business process. Business rules can create an inter dependency between each artifact in the artifact centric model which makes it necessary to synchronize artifacts in order to maintain a harmony in the business processes. The issue is that the synchronised artifacts become complex and difficult to understand by business users. Therefore, in order to improve the understandability of the artifact-centric model, we propose a model transformation from synchronised artifact-centric process model to an activity-centric process model. In this thesis, we use business process modelling notation (BPMN) with an extension as our activity-centric model. This is because BPMN is the most widely-accepted process modeling standard.
To evaluate the proposed approach, we use a case study which demonstrates how a business process can be defined using artifact-centric approach and how to transform it into a BPMN with extensions. The outcome of this research can be used for business communities as they can easily comprehend an artifact-centric model and business requirements/functions during the business process modelling. Better understanding of the artifact-centric approach will help the business communities to respond and communicate more efficiently with the system analysts or information
technology experts at the time of modelling business process.

New Zealand Qualifications Authority and secondary schools. There is an assumption that there is effective communication between people in these roles. This thesis attempts to investigate the validity of this assumption.
The aim of this research was to identify, from the perspective of School Relationship Managers, Principal’s Nominees and Heads of Department, the factors that contribute to effective communication between the
New Zealand Qualifications Authority and secondary schools. This qualitative research involved a focus group interview with five School Relationship Managers, one- to-one interviews with three Principal’s Nominees from three schools and three focus group interviews with a total of nine Heads of Department from three schools.
The findings highlighted that regular face-to-face communication, honesty, trust and collaboration are key ingredients for effective communication. The conclusion drawn from this study is that a symbiotic association exits between relationships and effective communication because they sustain and feed off each other. Appropriate modes of communication are necessary and straightforward language is important. The main recommendation to the
New Zealand Qualifications Authority and secondary schools is to continue to create
new relationships and nurture existing ones so that effective communication is perpetuated. Another recommendation is to use appropriate methods and clear language to communicate so that the emphasis of the message is conveyed correctly and without ambiguity.

▼ Leadership plays a significant role in the development of organisations and it is imperative for motivating and influencing people in the workplace during times of change. Furthermore, leadership is a crucial element in communicating the strategic direction and motivating employees to be dedicated to organisational goals. Thus, without an appropriate leadership style, an organisation cannot sustain itself and survive in a changing environment.
This research project deployed a qualitative approach to investigate the perspectives of leaders in the Faculty of Economics and Business Management (FEBM) in Laos about the importance of leadership in the organisation. Semi-structured interviews were employed to identify the appropriate leadership styles being used in the FEBM to inspire employees to adapt to change. This research project contents of five main objectives: to explore the understanding by leaders in FEBM of the term “leadership style”, to investigate the leadership style currently used in FEBM, to determine what is the most appropriate leadership style to improve performance of the FEBM workforce in times of change, to determine the key capacities leaders should have in order to influence employees to adapt to change, and to identify challenges that might become barriers for leaders to implement change. Hence, to achieve these objectives of this research project, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 12 respondents who had senior management roles in the FEBM. This included the Dean and two vice-deans, as well as heads of department and the deputy heads of department from five departments. The data was analysed and interpreted by using the thematic method. The findings of this research project are intended to provide significant guidelines for leaders in the Lao higher education sectors to lead organisations to accomplish the desired goals in times of change.
The results of the findings revealed that there are five main leadership styles that leaders in the FEBM employed in order to inspire people to adapt to change. These are transformational leadership, charismatic leadership, democratic/participative leadership, laissez-faire leadership, and the autocratic leadership style. Moreover, it is interesting to note that some leaders executed more than one leadership style to motivate employees to participate in the change process. This is because the leaders would change their leadership styles based on the situations and the level of satisfaction of the employees.
The study concluded that the FEBM leaders have an extensive understanding about the most suitable ways to motivate employees in times of change. This will enable the organisation to promote and sustain their capabilities to develop their organisation in a long-term. In addition, the researcher strongly believes that the results of the research could provide useful information for leaders to build on this knowledge base. Hence, the leaders would be able to create additional
new knowledge of leadership practices so as to have a positive…

▼ This study explores the interconnections between multiculturalism, social integration and public spaces. Insights into these relationships were gained through fieldwork observing the social activities of different cultural communities in the public spaces within the research site, Cook Street west, and investigating their perceptions and experiences based on the relationship between the Cook Street west residents and its public spaces. By understanding the localised forms of social well-being in this highly diverse urban neighbourhood, a conceptual design framework was developed to explore the renovation opportunities of designing a
new type of public place, which would help to support the healthy growth of Cook Street west - a unique ethno-cultural neighbourhood in Auckland City.

▼ Today we live in an ‘Enlightened’ society, ideas of spirituality and religion have become increasingly scrutinised in the public arena.
The Church is no longer the super power of western civilisation that it once was. Inevitable some would say, but the question must be asked... Is society better off? - What if the church was the center of a city or town like it once was?
This research project, A Place to Meet, explores the possibility of a church being the hub of a city and/or town like it once was. This project addresses the increasing usage of warehouses as Christian places of worship, (classified as light weight steel buildings, constructed with low cost materials). These buildings function as ‘islands’ isolated from their local communities, with the architecture offering little invitation for the public to engage in the church.
How can a church be more than a place to hold services and/ or run programs? How can a church site be more than a collection of facilities supporting these various programs? How can the church be more immersed in its local community? How can a church be a community hub? What does todays society need in a church building? How can a church building be a message of the gospel itself - a practical tangible and clearly communicated visual message, proclaiming the necessity and importance of a church in its community.

▼ The Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) was developed to replace the Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4). IPv6 provides many improvements over IPv4. However, there are major problems with
new features introduced in IPv6, which are susceptible to threats such as Denial of Service (DoS) attacks. In a DoS attack, malicious network traffic is sent to the victim node to prevent it from gaining access to network resources. DoS attacks on internal IPv6 networks are among the security concerns of many organisations.
The Neighbour Discovery Protocol (NDP) was introduced in IPv6. NDP processes use the Internet Control Message Protocol for IPv6 (ICMPv6). For example, the NDP Stateless Address Autoconfiguration process uses ICMPv6 Router Advertisement messages (Router Advertisements). Router Advertisements enable computers on an IPv6 network to generate IPv6 addresses for themselves. Router Advertisements can be misused to launch a link-local IPv6 DoS attacks called Router Advertisement flood attacks.
The purpose of this research was to evaluate existing defence mechanisms against three types of Router Advertisement flood attacks. ACL, ACL Fragments, ACL Undetermined- transport, Disable Router Discovery, RA Guard, Validate Source MAC and VLAN were the defence mechanisms that were evaluated. A testbed was deployed and experiments were conducted by measuring the TCP throughput, TCP round-trip time (RTT) and CPU utilisation using the latest Windows and Linux operating systems namely Windows 8.1 and Debian
7.5.0. Data was gathered before and during attacks as well as after the defence mechanisms were used. ACL and ACL Undetermined-transport were the most effective defences and Disable Router Discovery, RA Guard and Validate Source MAC were the least effective defences. Overall, the performance of Debian 7.5.0 was better than Windows 8.1.

▼ Ethnic media is said to perform a number of roles, including: 1) protecting and (re) constructing ethnic culture and identity, 2) providing knowledge and information to newcomers and 3) giving an independent space which allows ethnic communities to represent themselves in their own words. In
New Zealand, the number of Chinese migrants has steadily increased since the introduction of the 1987 Immigration Act, but the portrayal of the Chinese diaspora in its dominant media has often been invisible and negative. This is difficult for Chinese people to tolerate because they are afraid to ‘lose face’, which is an important part of traditional Chinese social ethics and refers to the fear of public shame. Along with other Chinese cultural characteristics of collectivism, members of the Chinese diaspora may consider that bad descriptions would bind them together and affect other people’s impression about their community. Under the circumstance, Chinese ethnic media may play an important role in assuaging people’s feelings and counteracting the negative influences within the Chinese community.
This study employed two qualitative research methods, content analysis and semi-structured interviews, to probe the way in which one Chinese ethnic online media, SkyKiwi.com, responded to the representation of the Chinese people in the
New Zealand Herald[the Herald].The research is based on two case studies. The first case involves Auckland Mayor Len Brown’s affair with Bevan Chuang in 2013. The second case is based on the reporting on an incident during which a group identified by the Herald as Chinese tourists ate at a charity Christmas lunch in 2012.
A comparison of reports about these events in both media outlets, indicates a tendency of the Herald to focus on more dramatic descriptions of celebrities and to be more connected with the dominant, Pākehā group. The findings showed SkyKiwi.com emphasises vicarious experience, which is the involvement of the audience to engage in a news story by highlighting the emotional elements, in its news reports and the way it used online sources.
Two strategies, including the selection of information for pre-determined goals and the audience-oriented description, can be identified in these comparisons. These strategies explain the important role SkyKiwi.com played in response to the portrayals of Chinese people in the Herald, including guiding the audience to understand both events from another angle and providing an independent, alternative media space in which the Chinese diaspora in
New Zealand could represent themselves in their own words.

▼ Although management and leadership research in the past century has significantly enhanced our understanding of human workplace behaviour, recent developments in neuroscience with the potential to significantly advance that research remain largely untapped. Standing upon this rapidly developing body of neuroscience research, and particularly social cognitive neuroscience research, proposals to formalise a specific
new field dedicated and committed to exploring the processes within the brain that underlie or influence human decisions, behaviours, and interactions in the workplace and beyond is being developed.
NeuroLeadership focuses on how individuals in a social environment make decisions and solve problems, regulate their emotions, collaborate with and influence others, and facilitate change; that is, NeuroLeadership engages the “people,” as opposed to the functional side of business (Ringleb & Rock, 2008). As a sub-discipline, NeuroLeadership is emerging in parallel with developments in research technologies which provide researchers with the ability to directly observe brain activity. Those technologies are providing researchers with both confirmation of and
new insights into long-held theories and concepts, which to date have largely focused on social psychology theories. The adaptation of this research to other social sciences in general, and to leadership and leadership development more specifically, is moving much more slowly
During organisational change staff members are usually unsure about their job security. Job security is one of the stress factors that can have a negative effect on the organisation during these changes. During this period of change and uncertainty it is important to manage stress as an important factor. These stress factors have to be identified and addressed. By managing stress while providing a better work environment and support, effective leadership will provide support to staff to be able to perform more effectively in their respective roles.
The focus of this research is to explore the neural basis of leadership and management practices, effectively bringing about the interface between the tools of social cognitive and affective neuroscience and other domains within neuroscience, and questions and theories from the leadership and management social sciences.
One area of emerging research focuses on the preparation to change, which has a solid effect on numerous choices in a change process, for example, arranging, execution, correspondence and systematisation. Notwithstanding, the expression "preparation" still makes disarray as it is exhibited in a short-sighted manner. Throughout this research the researcher’s objective is to expand the understating of the preparation effect on change accomplishment by looking at different levels of this idea and their progress.
A quantitative research method approach will also facilitate in comparing similar studies easily with more accuracy and would help the researcher in measuring and managing the variables while providing…

▼ Laos has been severely impacted by unexploded ordnance (UXO), a major threat to the safety of the civilian population, with 98 percent of casualties caused by cluster bomb munitions affecting civilians. The government has started mine risk education programs, targeted at triggering behaviour change in the communities at risk by generating awareness, raising the levels of information and through education. Despite the work that these programs have done so far, research shows that persons living in high UXO infested areas still engage in behaviours predisposing risk even with the knowledge on the health risks posed by UXO.
The objective of this research project was to assess the communication and information needs of the local communities in UXO contaminated areas and to contextualize these needs within the daily routines of the people through communicative and participatory location-based approaches while at the same time taking into consideration the economic imperatives.
The data collection methods included non-participant observation, in-depth semi-structured interviews, communicative ecology mapping, and focus groups. Ethnographic non-participation research tools were adopted in order to study the community and better understand it in its natural setting without interfering in people’s day-to-day life.
The research was conducted in Phaxay District, Xiengkhouang Province, Lao PDR. The research area was selected based on its relevance to the UXO communication needs study. Relevance was determined on the basis of previous UXO community awareness programmes and nature of the awareness programme in terms of media used as well as the frequency of UXO related accidents in the past and currently. The choice of participants was based on a number of factors including previous participation in a UXO community awareness programme and having lived in the community for more than five years. The other requirements were age, gender, occupation, and level of education.
Key findings indicate that models of communication used in the community are face to face, mobile phone, newspapers, television, radio, and the internet as well as loudspeaker broadcasts. Motorbike, bicycle, pick-up truck and minibus are the common modes of transport in the village and between the villages. Information regarding UXO risk was received in various ways including mine risk education (MRE) programmes, village chief officer and family members. Children age from 6 to 10 years old would receive information about and study UXO risk and safety behaviours in one of their classes from their teacher in primary school.

▼ RESEARCH QUESTION:
How can architectural and infrastructural interventions in a rural village in the state of Punjab, India, be designed to assist economic growth, environmental sustainability and utilise local skills and materials?
This research project is an investigation into how architectural design can assist low-income rural communities in the Punjab region of India. Specifically, the project focuses on rebuilding villages using low-impact technologies and self-build methods. A case study of a rural village is used as an example to demonstrate how architectural interventions can be used to create
new buildings and infrastructure. This will foster education, commerce and housing in response to growth in de-urbanisation in India.
Rural communities in India have depopulated and become deprived due to rural-to-urban migration for over half a century. Buildings have fallen into disrepair with little or no investment in infrastructure. That, however, is now changing as many urban migrants are returning to their home communities. Government funding has recently supported this and there is significant evidence of reverse migration in recent times.
The increased population in rural communities results in a need for improved educational buildings, housing, small businesses, traditional commerce, and farming. However, migrants have little capital to fund construction and government support is not adequate. One feasible method for rebuilding these communities is implementing self-build methods while using locally-produced materials.
This document outlines the trends in migration, identifying the demands for redevelopment of rural villages. A typical village was selected, surveyed and investigated concerning future needs. A desktop analysis was carried out into self-build techniques, materials appropriate for this area and the local skills for construction.
Based on the future needs of the village population and the possible construction methods, several significant buildings have been designed including a school, a training centre, low cost housing, street-side retail outlets, a sizeable chilled storage facility and a small business centre based around aquaculture.
The architecture is defined in relation to the skills of the villagers, the climate, the available materials and technologies, the cultural desires of the population. It is not an attempt at a style driven form of architecture. Although, the designs are designed by me and are almost entirely resolved. The intention of the project is to be community-driven, focussed. If such a project were to happen then the design process would be shared with the community, and the construction methods would be continually evolving from the first-hand experience of the processes of the building.

▼ [RESEARCH] QUESTION:
How can the principles of temporary and the ephemeral be employed by design in the critical redesign of consumer technological artefacts?
OBJECTIVES:
- Develop a taxonomy of ephemerality in design, print and
technology.
- Establish an understanding of the role and function of the ephemeral in the design of products, with emphasis on electronic products.
- Establish an applied level of understanding about product design and sustainable products.
- Investigate printed electronics and define the key application parameters, including functionality, lifetime (shelf and operation), stability, and homogeneity. Further investigate issues of sustainability in the printing industry and the electronic industry.
- Establish and understand current user perception towards sustainability and durability in relation to technological artefacts.
- Research and Develop a body of critical design approaches and strategies that result in critical design concepts that aim to provoke and transform people’s perceptions of the durable and sustainable dimensions of consumer technological products.
- Develop a suite of experimental prototypes by employing printed electronics and communicate strategies to test the central proposition of this project.
- Evaluate the efficacy of the design concepts developed in response to perceptions towards sustainability and durability in relation to technological artefacts.
- Synthesise, illustrate and communicate the outcomes and present in conjunction with the prototypes at an Exhibition.
This project’s aim is to develop design strategies that explore the potential of the ephemeral and the temporary in the context of consumer electronic artefacts, by implementing printed electronics in the service of sustainable futures.
This research-led design project will establish the current perceptions users have towards sustainability and durability in relation to information consumer
technology (ICT) objects. The ambition is to create critical and speculative artefacts, that make consumers stop for a moment to reassess their habits and behaviours when utilizing ICT and their attitude towards sustainability.
This project will make a valuable contribution to the print and ICT market. Furthermore, it will push boundaries of the way ICT can be used, advocate sustainable ideas, with the potential of recycling, upcycling or biodegrading after its use.

▼ Cybersecurity is a very important area that needs to be worked on and improved. Day by day
technology becomes closer to human life in many ways. In recent years, especially after the emergence of IoT and cloud computing,
technology has started to control a big part of our assets. These assets could be data medical assets, financial assets, etc. For example, today we see
technology being involved in sensitive medical operations, so human life has become related to
technology and any failure could cause risk to human life. There are many types of cyber threat and different types of cyber-attacks: this study discusses DNS Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks and focuses on DNS reflection attacks, which are one of the most common kinds of attack. These attacks depend on exploiting a DNS service that relies on User Datagram Protocol (UDP), which is one of the essential services that is working in the background to support internet services.
To be able to analyse a DNS reflection attack, I designed and built a testbed network which represented the environment that runs the attack. The testbed included Cisco routers, Cisco switches, and servers. These routers played the main role in demonstrating attack stages and factors, and by analysing the results, I built a mitigation technique to reduce or eliminate the possibility of those factors.
All the results and readings presented in this study are generated and collected by the author while creating an actual attack at lab using cisco routers, switches and servers rather than using simulation or emulation software. Using those devices make the testbed similar to a commercial environment that are exposed or targeted by real attacks. This process leads to achieve the desired practical outcomes.
The results showed that applying separate mitigation techniques in different stages and in more than one place worked perfectly to reduce attack load by using uRPF, Unicast Reverse Path Forward, is a standard security feature work to prevent spoofed packets. Using Separate technique in mitigation methodology gives very positive results without exhausting router resources, such as CPU, temperature and RAM. Then, I use Zone-based firewall, which is a cisco security feature, allow the Cisco router to behave like a Firewall, by separate the router to Zones to control incoming packets that are coming from outside the router (Internet). All stages together, work as an integrated solution. The suggested mitigation techniques are perfect for SMB organisations in terms of protecting their own network and DNS servers.

▼ RESEARCH QUESTIONS:
Main question:
How can a catchment-based green infrastructure network better achieve low-impact storm water attenuation goals for urban and community development in Auckland in the context of climate change?
Sub-questions:
How well does existing green infrastructure deal with flooding and seconding pollution issues via existing overland flows and stormwater management?
How can Low-Impact Design (LID) and stormwater management methods better utilize a range of values (i.e., ecological, economic and social) to accomplish urban design objectives for Auckland city?
Within the boundaries of unitary plan, is it possible to create a Green Infrastructure Network (GIN) that provides positive environmental change for urban development?
The pressures of global population growth, migration and increasing urban densities present significant issues which can negatively impact on the health of cities. These pressures are more evident in midsize global cities (Allen et al., 2016) where there are often significant conflicts between the development of human infrastructure and the maintenance of natural ecosystems. The conflict leads many times to major environmental degradation.
Urban studies tend to describe development patterns negatively, and often point to environmental problems that stem from development, such as landscape fragmentation (Forman, 2014), degrading water quality (Marjorie van Roon et al., 2004), flooding and increasing water-borne pollution (Pickett et al., 2013; Pickett & Cadenasso, 2007), reduction of green space and biodiversity (Wu, 2014). However, many of these authors reflect on the values and opportunities that arise from urban development to link ecology and urban development through green space networks as described by Borrett (2014), Derbyshire and Wright (2014), Li et al. (2015) and Niemelä (1999).
This project explores a
new, valuable and sustainable urban development paradigm through creating a
new Green Infrastructure Network (GIN) model based on hydrological catchment in urban Auckland. This GIN connects current LID and WSD stormwater management practices, as is already in use at present, with a
new sustainable spatial mode for intensified urban area.
The Oakley Creek catchment is used as a case study to show the details and functions of the GIN. Through classifying Oakley Creek catchment into four scales:
1 block scale;
2 neighbourhood scale;
3 community scale and
4 urban stream scale to form a ‘nested catchment’.
Then manage the catchment by designed GIN nodes and corridors to deal with multiple urban environmental and hydrological issues.
Additionally, design a local area network (LAN) model and shared infrastructures in the GIN to create social and economic benefits to the local community. The
new GIN and LAN models show the interrelated character of ecological, social and economic conditions in a local community design.

4. What are school Middle Leaders’ and Kāhui Ako Within-School Leaders’ perceptions of the and challenges and benefits of leading ‘teaching as inquiry?
ABSTRACT:
‘Teaching as inquiry’ has been established as a pedagogical model in the
New Zealand Curriculum for more than a decade. It is promoted as a highly effective process for professional development and for improving student learning outcomes, particularly in addressing issues of equity. However, it has been ineffectively implemented in schools.
This study investigated the perceptions of Middle Leaders and Kāhui Ako Within-School Leaders regarding the purpose and nature of ‘teaching as inquiry,’ the nature of its leadership and its challenges and benefits. Data were collected using online surveys and focus group interviews within eight schools in one Waikato Kāhui Ako.
Leaders saw the purpose of ‘teaching as inquiry’ as improving teaching and as improving student learning outcomes. It was seen to follow cyclical, iterative steps and promote adaptive pedagogical practice. Leaders used a variety of strategies to lead it and preferred to develop relational trust instead of following compliance-based accountability processes.
There were tensions identified, including confusion over which roles held the primary responsibility to lead ‘teaching as inquiry;’ time limitations that existed within other complex and competing professional expectations; challenges in dealing with resistance from other staff and the visibility and credibility afforded to leader’s roles and the implications of their ‘teaching as inquiry’ processes. These challenges were linked with a perceived lack of professional development opportunities that focussed on leadership.
The benefits of ‘teaching as inquiry’ were seen to be the opportunity to collaborate and connect with other teachers and leaders’ autonomy, enjoyment and ultimately retention in the teaching profession. It is recommended that the capacity for collaborative inquiry is strengthened at national, local and individual levels.

▼ In designing a house it is usual to be focused on the current needs of clients and users. However, soon those initial needs will change for reasons such as family growth, aging and changing lifestyle. Various solutions for this issue have been suggested by architects. ‘Flexible Housing’ is a type of dwelling design that has the ability for a house to adjust to the changing needs of its occupants. Although all the qualitative research indicates that this type of dwelling is an economic and sustainable solution, there is little quantitative data to support that argument. The real financial benefit of Flexible Housing will only be recognisable when, rather than the routine design approach, based primarily on immediately available expenditure, life cycle costing is taken into account.
The term Life Cycle Costing (LCC) is used to describe a process in which all costs relating to a property over its whole life cycle would be systemically calculated and evaluated. LCC is a significant task in a life cycle approach to buildings. This research aimed to indicate the financial advantage of Flexible Housing through designing a flexible house applying a life cycle approach.
To achieve the purpose of this research, first, a literature review was undertaken to determine the main features of a flexible house. Among varying techniques that have been applied by architects to achieve flexibility, ‘slack space’ was chosen for the present research project. This concept allows for adding flexibility to design by preparing some unprogrammed spaces to be occupied by users to address their
new needs in the future. These phases will be done through a Building Information Modelling-based design process, using its features especially in cost estimation and documentation. Building Information Modelling (BIM) is a recent approach in the architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) industry. Applying BIM potentials in the design process could help the architect to make better architectural decisions at the outset where there are enough quantitative data to support the financial analysis of the design.

▼ This research project investigates how the practice of joining familiar and disparate imagery together can create
new contexts of meaning and effect in a contemporary painting practice. In the era of Modernism, artists sought to reconfigure established art conventions, birthing many artistic discoveries through the emergence of different avant-garde movements. The artworks produced were radically
new for their time, challenging modes of representation, methods of making art and the very constitution of art itself. The Surrealists discovered the potential of combining the unfamiliar in creating
new realities. They harnessed the creative potential of the sub conscious mind through employing methods that relied on the roles of chance, intuition and surprise in the art-making process. My research explores the visual interaction of disparate elements within a methodology that utilises both chance and reason in the creative process.
The nature of combination can yield infinite possibilities, and therefore combining imagery for the purpose of seeking out original meanings, effects and aesthetic properties required a continuous interrogation of the image to take place. Negotiating a balance between strangeness and familiarity in imagery led me to draw on aesthetic theories based on beauty, repulsion and the strange. Defining preferences for formal painting qualities arose through applying this theoretical knowledge in conjunction with the practical knowledge gained through the experience and materiality of painting.
The integration of planning, chance, playfulness and problem solving in the making process broadened my understanding of how art can be made effectively. With a synthesis of formal and conceptual qualities, my work became more effective and engaging. This has led to a greater understanding of practice related research.
