Metonymy through motosidad
This article offers an exploration of the textual recording of bilingualism, and the use of stylised language, for Latin American testimonial narratives. Testimonio is a form of writing through which subaltern subjects narrate lived experiences of marginalisation. These published stories begin as oral accounts, and therefore features of the subject’s dialect, sociolect or inter-language variety are often prominent in the final, textual version. I…
Paratextual Polyphony
This article diligently examines the concept of ‘testimonial polyphony’, as introduced by John Beverley in the 1980s, arguing that the effect is consciously constructed during testimonio’s production process. Using Nosotros los humanos: testimonios de los quechuas del siglo XX (1992) as a case study, the article demonstrates how paratextual features can be utilized in such a way as to affect the narrative voice, and frame it as collective in natu…
Badger vaccination in England
In 2010 a vaccine was licensed for use in badgers in the United Kingdom to reduce the severity of Mycobacterium bovis infection, and hence the risks of onward transmission to cattle. National legislation was enacted to allow its deployment by lay persons, but the efficiency and feasibility of badger vaccination has been the subject of ongoing debate. We conducted quantitative analysis on badger vaccination records and undertook interviews and par…
Current and Emerging Disaster Risks Perceptions in Oceania
Identification and profiling of current and emerging disaster risks is essential to inform effective disaster risk management practice. Without clear evidence, readiness to accept future threats is low, resulting in decreased ability to detect and anticipate these new threats. A consequential decreased strategic planning for mitigation, adaptation or response results in a lowered resilience capacity. This study aimed to investigate threats to the…
Disrupting Daesh
This article contributes to public and policy debates on the value of social media disruption activity with respect to terrorist material. In particular, it explores aggressive account and content takedown, with the aim of accurately measuring this activity and its impacts. The major emphasis of the analysis is the so-called Islamic State (IS) and disruption of their online activity, but a catchall “Other Jihadi” category is also utilized for com…
Bias and tracking accuracy in voting projections using the New Zealand attitudes and values study
We introduce a method for assessing the overall level of bias and relative tracking accuracy in time series analysis of polling data on voter intentions by comparing two data sets: the New Zealand Attitudes and Values Study (NZAVS; N = 13,936) and the One News Colmar Brunton election polls (N = 10,210). The NZAVS is a national probability longitudinal postal panel survey started in 2009. It was set up to track stability and change in values, with…
Event-based Multitrack Alignment using a Probabilistic Framework
This paper presents a Bayesian probabilistic framework for real-time alignment of a recording or score with a live performance using an event-based approach. Multitrack audio files are processed using existing onset detection and harmonic analysis algorithms to create a representation of a musical performance as a sequence of time-stamped events. We propose the use of distributions for the position and relative speed which are sequentially update…
A Dual Process Model of Attitudes towards Immigration
This research took a person × situation approach to predicting prejudice by looking at how social worldviews interact with real‐world environmental factors to predict how people respond to immigrants within their local area. Taking a Dual Process Motivational approach, we hypothesized that a higher proportion of immigrants in the local community would be associated with negative attitudes toward immigration for respondents high in dangerous world…
Policy-based reasoning in duty of care cases
This paper seeks to develop a deeper understanding of the role of policy-based reasoning in the determination of duty of care questions. In order to do this, the first part explores the distinction between considerations of interpersonal justice and considerations of community welfare in the determination of duty questions. While imperfect, the distinction illuminates the nature of the factors taken into account by courts in determining duty of c…

Social Dominance Orientation and Right-Wing Authoritarianism
The additive and interactive effects of Social Dominance Orientation (SDO) and Right-Wing Authoritarianism (RWA) were examined using 16 independent samples of New Zealand European participants (N = 2,164). Consistent with Duckitt's (2001) Dual Process Model, SDO and RWA displayed strong additive effects across various domains of intergroup-related attitude, including measures of racism, sexism, homosexual prejudice, and ethnic and religious ingro…
