Transformation of Farmer Resistance in Conservation Areas: Land Occupation by Farmers in Mount Halimun-Salak National Park, West Java
A number of studies have shown various agrarian conflicts as a response by local farmers against the policy of national parks that prohibits them from accessing conservation forest areas. However, previous studies had not explained the dynamics of power relations between park authorities and farmers who stand in opposition to these policies. This study employs a qualitative research approach complemented by secondary data to explain the transform…
Childhood disadvantage and adolescent socioemotional wellbeing as predictors of future parenting behaviour
INTRODUCTION: In extending work on early life antecedents of parenting, we investigate associations between childhood family history of disadvantage, adolescent socioemotional wellbeing, and age at first parenthood and subsequent parenting behaviour. METHODS: Parent-child interactions were recorded when participants in the longitudinal Dunedin Multidisciplinary Health and Development Study (New Zealand) had a three-year-old child. Data were avail…
Found in (survey) translation: Lessons learned while engaging with a wharekura in Southland, New Zealand
We liaised with a wharekura (Māori language immersion school) to translate and disseminate an online survey for a group of Māori youth in Southland, New Zealand (NZ). The focus of this article is not results, but the processes of respondent orientation and engagement to more genuinely include Māori in a youth survey. An online survey about transport and well‐being was conducted with older teenagers from 12 schools, including the wharekura. After …
Rethinking integration in mixed methods research using data from different eras: Lessons from a project about teenage vocational behaviour
Mixed methods research requires integration of qualitative and quantitative data. However, there is debate about how to define integration and what is required for integration to occur. This paper describes a mixed methods research project which revisits datasets from different eras, which were originally instigated for different purposes and had different theoretical frameworks. Using selected results about the relationship between teenagers’ vo…
A Systematic Review on the Impact of Point-of-Sale Tobacco Promotion on Smoking
The impact of an increase in excise tax on the retail price of tobacco in New Zealand
Tobacco companies do not appear to be increasing the RRPs of budget brands in line with tobacco excise tax increases. The increasing price differential between budget brands, and mainstream and premium brands may undermine cessation and impede realisation of New Zealand's Smokefree 2025 goal
Tobacco retail outlet density and risk of youth smoking in New Zealand
Restricting the permitted density of tobacco retail outlets around schools should be part of comprehensive tobacco control. In this regard, both smokers and non-smokers support the introduction of increased regulation of the tobacco retail environment to achieve our national smoke-free 2025 goal
Regulating the sale of tobacco in New Zealand: A qualitative analysis of retailers’ views and implications for advocacy
A Wicked Problem: Early Childhood Safety in the Dynamic, Interactive Environment of Home
Young children being injured at home is a perennial problem. When parents of young children and family workers discussed what influenced parents' perceptions and responses to child injury risk at home, both "upstream" and "downstream" causal factors were identified. Among the former, complex and interactive facets of society and contemporary living emerged as potentially critical features. The "wicked problems" model arose from the need to find r…
Theory in Social and Cultural Anthropology: An Encyclopedia
Social and cultural anthropology and archaeology have deep connections to the social and physical sciences. Over the past 150 years, the subject matter and different theoretical perspectives have expanded greatly. 'Theory in Social and Cultural Anthropology: an Encyclopedia' provides quick overviews of theories and theorists with just the basics - the 'who, what, where, how, and why
What is spirituality? Evidence from a New Zealand hospice study
Spirituality is increasingly understood to be important in healthcare provision, as seen in policy, guidelines and practice across many Western healthcare systems. Definitions of spirituality remain controversial, despite their importance for consistency in research and practice. This paper reports on the definition findings of a nation-wide New Zealand (NZ) study (2006–2008) that examined understandings, experiences and ways to improve spiritual…
Tobacco imagery on New Zealand television 2002–2004: Table 1
Considerable emphasis has been placed on the importance of tobacco imagery in the movies as one of the "drivers" of smoking among young people. Findings are presented from a content analysis of 98 hours of prime-time programming on New Zealand television 2004, identifying 152 scenes with tobacco imagery, and selected characteristics of those scenes. About one in four programmes contained tobacco imagery, most of which might be regarded as "neutra…
Northern Lacandon Maya Medicinal Plant Use in the Communities of Lacanja Chan Sayab and Nahá Chiapas, Mexico
The Lacandon Maya are rainforest farmers who inhabit the tropical jungles of southern Mexico and Guatemala. They number approximately 700 individuals and practice a traditional system of agriculture that incorporates introduced plants and the native flora of their environment. In this essay, we discuss a largely neglected aspect of Lacandon ethnomedicine. Our results include 47 medicinal plants used by the several Northern Lacandon living in the …
A longitudinal study of health related quality of life and utility measures in patients with advanced breast cancer
Does low self-esteem predict health compromising behaviours among adolescents?
Development of depression from preadolescence to young adulthood: Emerging gender differences in a 10-year longitudinal study.
The authors investigated the emergence of gender differences in clinical depression and the overall development of depression from preadolescence to young adulthood among members of a complete birth cohort using a prospective longitudinal approach with structured diagnostic interviews administered 5 times over the course of 10 years. Small gender differences in depression (females greater than males) first began to emerge between the ages of 13 a…

A smoke-free advertising competition among secondary schools in New Zealand
We describe the ‘Make a Smokefree Ad’ competition, an initiative of the Cancer Society of New Zealand, which was held in 1991 in secondary schools throughout the country. While competitions such as these have been used elsewhere to focus upon smoking in the young, some novel features of this competition made it a particularly well-received health promotion activity by both students and teachers. Most importantly, the activity treated the young pa…

Slow Starters and Long‐term Backward Readers: A Replication and Extension
S ummary . This study analysed data from a longitudinal investigation of reading ability in children from ages 7 to 13 years. Following Cox (1987), boys and girls with long‐term backward reading (LTB) were compared with boys and girls who showed good reading progress at 13, despite being poor readers at 7 (“slow starters” or SS). These two groups were contrasted on various measures of cognitive development, behaviour and family background at age …
