Unless you are an IT manager, understanding all of the technical details of how big data technology — such as Hadoop Hive or Apache Pig as a Service — works isn't as important as understanding how big data can be used to improve lives. Public safety, whether it's reducing crime rates or maintaining roads and bridges, is a huge undertaking with serious consequences when mistakes are made. Big data can provide additional insights (such as the connection between home games and crime rates discussed below) to governments and businesses to help them keep cities safe, and better respond to disasters when they strike.
Bridge Maintenance
The U.S. Department of Transportation keeps track of more than 600,000 bridges, all of which are more than 20 feet long and used for vehicular traffic. Of those bridges, 25 percent have been classified as deficient. Unfortunately, repairing bridges is an expensive endeavor costing billions of dollars, and until recently, the process of inspecting bridges for problems was slow and inaccurate (since each bridge had to be inspected manually). Occasionally even small mistakes can lead to big consequences, such as when a bridge collapsed in Minneapolis, killing 13 people and injuring 145.
Now, governments are taking advantage of big data to help them better track which bridges need maintenance in order to keep the bridges safe and cut down on inspection time. By placing sensors in certain areas of a bridge, it is possible to track how certain factors are affecting the structural integrity of the bridge. For example, sensors could track everything from how seismic activity or a heavy winter storm has had an impact on the structure, all the way down to the day to day wear and tear from traffic. These sensors allow all data to be collected in a central location without sending an inspector out to each individual bridge, and for crucial data to be analyzed in realtime, so serious problems can be addressed faster. This data is also useful for distributing a limited budget, so the more important issues are addressed first.
Cracking Down on Crime
When do crime rates tend to peak in a particular neighborhood? What streets, businesses or events tend to attract higher crime rates? Which areas of the city need a higher police presence? For those familiar with their neighborhood and city, the answer to these questions may seem obvious, but for police agencies in charge of several neighborhoods, getting a clear picture of what is happening on every street can be difficult. With access to more data, however, such as historical crime records, presence of graffiti and the location of police stations, cities can better distribute their resources to reduce crime.
In California, some high school students completed a big data project analyzing crime rates in San Francisco. After going through millions of data points, the students found some interesting insights. For instance, there were 10 liquor stores, all within a 2-mile radius of each other, where a huge majority of crimes occur. A particular area, the 800 block of Bryant street, averages a single crime every three hours, and whenever there is a home game of the Giants or 49ers, there is a 20 percent spike in crime. The spike tended to be higher if the game was on the weekend and if the home team won vs. a weekday game or a loss or tie.
Even though this project was limited to publicly available data, it serves as a good example of what cities and police stations with much more extensive data sources could do by analyzing big data.
Boost Utility Reliability
When natural disasters hit, countless citizens are often left without power. If these storms happen to hit during the winter months, the loss of power can be particularly devastating, as residents are left without heat. Even smaller storms can cause serious consequences when traffic lights stop working, and the elderly or small children are left without heat. Due to this, utility companies have started analyzing the data they collect to improve response times to power outages and to better distribute resources when a larger storm strikes.
With so much data readily available, it makes sense for utility companies, departments and cities to start using that data to improve public safety, and hopefully cut costs and improve efficiency in the long run.

I wanted to gather all of my Internet of Things (IOT) blogs into a single blog (that I could later use with my University of San Francisco (USF) Big Data "MBA" course). However as I started to pull these blogs together, I realized that my IOT discussion lacked a vision; it lacked an end point towards which an organization could drive their IOT envisioning, proof of value, app dev, data engineering and data science efforts. And I think that the IOT end point is really quite simple…

LOGAN — On National Letter of Intent Day there is always reason for excitement. Every new commitment could be the next all-conference player.
Judging by the excitement in head coach Gary Andersen's voice when discussing this year's signing class, Aggie fans will have plenty to be excited about on the field in the coming years.
Overall the Aggies signed 28 players, with a heavy emphasis on the trenches. The Aggies signed six offensive linemen and five defensive linemen.
"We needed to put ourselves in position to get bigger, not just by weight but longer," Andersen said.
Of the offensive linemen signed, only Taani Fisilau is under 6-foot-5. Still, standing at a solid 6-3 and weighing 315 pounds, Fisilau is no small fry. On defense the Aggies will use the size they recruited on the defensive line to switch to a 3-4 defense. The switch will better utilize the skills of their deep linebacker corps, which will include Bobby Wagner, Kyle Gallagher and recruits Bojay Filimoeatu and Parker Hausknecht.
Noticeably absent from the signing class are skill players on offense.
Andersen said the team still has a scholarship or two to use on a game-changing wide receiver, and he hopes to bring one into the fold fairly quickly. But he said he is happy with the players returning on that side of the ball.
In spring ball all eyes will be on the starting quarterback position vacated by Diondre Borel. The Aggies signed two quarterbacks in Chuckie Keeton, a dual-threat quarterback from Houston, and Adam Kennedy, a more traditional but still mobile signal caller from San Joaquin Delta (Calif.) Junior College.
"We have four quarterbacks on scholarship," Andersen said, including returning players Jeremy Higgins and Alex Hart in the mix. "It's a young crew of quarterbacks and an unproven crew of quarterbacks."
Though the quarterback candidates posses different skills, Andersen said the offensive scheme will not change based on which player wins the job.
He said this recruiting class is a success based on the three guidelines of recruiting that Andersen laid out when he was hired. The most important guideline was going after in-state players. Utah State went heavily after Utah high school athletes and received commitments from 11 in-state players.
Andersen also wanted to create a welcoming environment for LDS players who wanted to leave on church missions.
The team has nine players scheduled to go on missions, with another nine players that are currently serving, and four players in this class that just returned from missions.
Lastly, Andersen wanted to add Polynesian players to USU's recruiting base. The Aggies received eight commitments from Polynesian players, bring the team's total to 19.
More than anything, Andersen said he believes every player recruited is a good fit with the school.
"We competed at a high level against some very good teams," Andersen said about grading his recruiting class. "What I gauge it on in the end is that we believe they are quality young men regardless of who was recruiting them."

Recently, I engaged in a fun social experiment with my kids, ages three and five, and a friend from kindergarten. I packed up the kids and a couple of board games and headed to a nearby kid-friendly chain restaurant to find out whether games are a fun distraction, or whether I could actually help my kids develop better social skills through cooperative game play. Because let's be honest here, mom friends: unless you've got a Mary Poppins on staff, toddlers and kindies can use a little help in the social skills department.
We brought two games along to test my theory: Tibbar's Find My ABC's and Find My 123's Puzzles and Bubbles & Puddles, both from SimplyFun.
Together in one bundle, Tibbar's Find My ABCs and Find My 123s will take your child on a learning adventure. Your preschooler will delight in assembling each oversized floor puzzle while learning the alphabet, numbers 1 thru 10, and colors at the same time! (Ages 4 and up)

However, children with movement impairments are at risk for restricted access to participation in leisure activities. The aim of this thesis was to investigate the leisure participation patterns and experiences of children with movement impairments in New Zealand (NZ). Methods: The thesis includes three separate but linked studies. First, an integrative review of the literature investigated the relationship between motor functioning and leisure participation of children with movement impairments. Then a mixed method approach with two studies was conducted to understand leisure participation of children in the NZ context. The two studies were a quantitative survey study and a qualitative interview study. For the integrative review, a systematic electronic search of key databases was conducted from the period 1 January 2001 to 30 April 2014 using relevant keywords to identify studies that investigated leisure participation and motor functioning in children with movement impairments aged 6 to 12 years. The review synthesized, and compared information from qualitative and quantitative studies to identify the extent, and way by which, motor functioning influences leisure participation. A national cross-sectional survey with postal questionnaires investigated the extent, pattern, and barriers to leisure participation of children with movement impairments aged 6 to 12 years in NZ. The questionnaires used were the 'Children's Assessment of Participation and Enjoyment (CAPE)' to assess the level and pattern of leisure participation, the 'Activity Scale for Kids (ASK)' for measuring the level of physical functioning of children, the 'Craig Hospital Inventory of Environmental Factors (CHIEF) for Children-Parent Version' to investigate the perceived environmental barriers and the 'Family Environment Scale (FES)' to measure family functioning. Following the survey study, individual interviews with children and their parents explored in depth the leisure participation experiences of children with movement impairments. Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) was used to understand the experiences and the children's perceived sense of their experience, both of which could be dependent on contextual factors. Child friendly methods of data collection were used in interviews. Children expressed their views through drawing, painting, using stickers, sharing pictures, demonstrating activities, and by showing the interviewer their leisure environment and equipment. Further, field notes made at the time of the interview, and email conversations with children and/or families were used to describe and interpret the experiences of the children who participated in the study. The quantitative and qualitative data were first analysed independently, with the findings then integrated to enlighten understanding of the leisure participation patterns in general and in depth experiences of children with movement impairments in NZ. Results: Thirty-five studies were included and analyzed for the integrative review. Twenty-four studies used quantitative and 11 studies used qualitative methodology. The review identified the relationship between motor functioning and six dimensions of leisure participation including diversity, intensity, context, preferences, enjoyment and quality of participation. Motor functioning was found to have a weak to moderate association with involvement in specific leisure activity types and dimensions such as the frequency and diversity of physical activities. The CAPE identified that children participated in an average of 31 out of 55 activities listed in this questionnaire. Children participated in a greater number and frequency of recreational, social, and self-improvement activities as compared to skill-based and physical activities. Further, girls participated in a greater percentage of activities as compared to boys. While nearly 50% of activities were performed with family, only 13% of activities were performed with friends. Nearly 50% of activities were performed at home and 50% of activities outside home. With the help of families, children participated in leisure activities of their choice and expressed positive experience of fun, challenge, and independence and achievement. The choice of activities depended on a combination of the motor functioning of the individual child, inspiration, and support from families, friends and health professionals, as well as the child's age, sex and the possibility of adaptations and availability of community programmes. Participation in the activities of choice was often with friends of their choice and in a place of their choice. Children followed a leisure participation routine that consisted of scheduled and unscheduled activities. Yet, despite such positive aspects to their participation, children felt disappointed and avoided some activities due to associated negative experience such as injury, fear, non-inclusion, and the difficulty they had experienced in adapting and performing certain activities. While the majority of children reported that nothing stopped them having fun, parents believed that their children's leisure participation could be better and expressed their concerns. For parents, the most common barrier (perceived by 80%) included the natural environment such as uneven terrain, inaccessible architecture, and weather. Further, 76% reported others' attitude resulting in humiliation as barriers to children's participation in leisure activities. Sixty one percent of parents also reported lack of programmes such as adapted inclusive sports and games in the community and that this resulted in the lack of opportunities for activity involvement in the community. They also reported that information regarding these activities were somewhat lacking and therefore of concern. Additionally, older children were more aware of their movement limitations and therefore were more careful in choosing their activities, while younger children were less aware and were happy with activities carefully chosen by the family. Conclusion: The integrative review demonstrated that motor functioning of children with movement impairments may or may not be a barrier depending on the functional movements required to participate in a particular leisure activity. Children with movement impairments in this thesis participated in a wide range of activities and enjoyed activities of their choice. Families played a major role in supporting children's involvement in leisure activities. However, reduced frequency of participation in physical activities, as opposed to recreational, social and self-improvement activities requires further research with a focus of enhancing and promoting the physical activity levels of children with movement impairments in NZ. Families, therapists, and community service providers such as disability organisations could enhance leisure participation experiences by suggesting and creating opportunities that could increase children's choices of leisure activities in general, and physical activities and skill-based activities in particular. 2016-07-25T04:45:17Z Mapping Perspectives on an Ethically Challenging Paediatric Case http://hdl.handle.net/10523/6708 Mapping Perspectives on an Ethically Challenging Paediatric Case 2016 Reyneke, Marizanne Objectives This project aims to identify and examine in detail some of the ethically challenging aspects of the care of infants who have serious medical conditions, by looking at a multidisciplinary team (MDT) and whãnau involved in a single neonatal case. An objective is to identify what was especially important to the whãnau during the care of their baby, and examine the perspectives of various MDT members around these factors. A further objective is to identify the differing perspectives of various health professionals as well as the whãnau relating to specific themes identified, and map how these perspectives relate to one another. In order to make more sense of this data, I look at clinical and ethical frameworks that are appropriate to apply to the results of this study. An overarching objective here is to produce information that can inform health professionals, as to enhance their practise collaboratively and effectively in such testing paediatric cases during their professional careers. In particular, the case- related data may constitute a useful resource for inter-professional education sessions. Study design Seven MDT members (transport nurse, social worker, neonatologist, charge nurse, paediatrician, clinical geneticist and midwife) and the whãnau were interviewed using semi-structured qualitative interviews. Interviews were transcribed in full, and then analysed using a grounded theory-lite coding system to extract important themes. Results The analysis revealed several important themes, with each overarching theme encompassing several smaller sub-themes. The themes explored were: 1) Communication 2) Ethical issues 3) Source of perspective The family identified that effective communication from the MDT was a crucial element throughout all stages of their journey with their baby. In general, MDT members also valued communication highly, both within the team itself, and between the team and the whanau. It emerged that different MDT members have different priorities when it came to the way that they used communication. The family emphasised that it was important to them to consider the impact on the family as a whole when it came to ethical decision points. The MDT tended to focus more on the best interest of the baby as an individual. It was found that very few of the MDT members interviewed could recall any specific ethics education, and even fewer MDT members consistently used an ethical framework to assist them when considering ethically complex cases. Conclusion The single in-depth paediatric case study revealed the intricacies involved in making ethical decisions, working well within a multi-disciplinary team, and forming a relationship with the whãnau. It is clear that cases such as these are multi-faceted and that many factors contribute to either a poor or good outcome for the whãnau. Upon analysis and discussion of results and themes, I conclude that using the Family- Centered Care clinical model and Ethic of Care ethical framework in similar cases may show great benefit for both the families and MDTs. Early inter-professional education may be one way of implementing these models and ideas. 2016-07-19T04:20:31Z The Relationship of Obstetric Factors to Aspects of Pelvic Floor Trauma And Dysfunction 20 Years Post-delivery http://hdl.handle.net/10523/6707 The Relationship of Obstetric Factors to Aspects of Pelvic Floor Trauma And Dysfunction 20 Years Post-delivery 2016 Lin, Sylvia Background The pelvic floor (levator ani and covering endopelvic fascia) has an important role in supporting the bladder, vagina, uterus and rectum. Pelvic floor trauma in women may result in urinary and faecal incontinence, and also pelvic organ prolapse. It is a very common problem affecting around half of women having at least one type of pelvic floor dysfunction, particularly later in life. The aetiology of pelvic floor dysfunction is likely to be multifactorial, although childbearing is probably the most significant predisposing factor in women – vaginal delivery resulting in stretching and avulsion of levator ani muscles, damage to anal sphincter, along with nerve trauma are important factors.The development of functional imaging has revolutionised our understanding of the pelvic floor during and after birth. There is however a lack of information on the long-term relationship between obstetric factors with pelvic floor trauma and the relationship between these obstetric injuries and long-term pelvic floor function. Objectives To investigate the relationship between obstetric history and the clinical and ultrasound diagnosis of levator avulsion (LA) and damage to the anal sphincter 20 years after childbirth. We also aimed to examine the relationship of these obstetric injuries to symptoms and signs of pelvic floor dysfunction and to compare digital palpation of LA with ultrasound diagnosis. Design Twenty-year longitudinal study. Setting Maternity unit in Dunedin. Population Women dwelling in the community. Methods Data from women were collected 20 years after an index birth by postal questionnaire, and women were invited for examination and ultrasound assessment. Logistic regression investigated associations between ultrasound diagnoses and symptoms and signs of pelvic floor dysfunction. Main outcome measures Objective measures of prolapse (POP-Q) and ultrasound confirmation of LA and obstetric anal sphincter injuries (OASIS). Subjective report of pelvic floor dysfunction measured by the pelvic organ prolapse symptom score (POP-SS), Prolapse/Urinary Incontinence Sexual Questionnaire (PISQ-12) score, any urinary and faecal incontinence. Results Of 1248 women at initial recruitment, 1191 questionnaires were sent and 464 (39%) returned questionnaires at 20 years. 196 of these returned for clinical assessment. The mean age for the examined respondents was 50.8 years. The overall LA rate was 15.2% and OASIS rate was 12.5%. Agreement between palpation and transperineal ultrasound diagnosis of LA was 91% (kappa 0.32). Forceps delivery was associated with significantly greater LA rate compared with vaginal delivery (26% vs. 13%, OR 2.45, 95% CI 1.04-5.08, p=0.04); as well as higher OASIS rate but that did not reach significance (21% versus 11%, OR 2.2, 95% CI 0.87-5.59, p=0.098). LA was significantly associated with more objectively measured POP-Q, "bothersome" prolapse and faecal incontinence, but had no association with prolapse symptoms by POP-SS. LA was significantly associated with greater sexual dysfunction by PISQ-12 scores (mean difference 2.3, 95% CI 0.2-4.4; p=0.015), less adequate vaginal tone for woman's satisfaction and poorer pelvic muscle strength. Women with OASIS had a higher prevalence of urinary and faecal incontinence but this did not reach statistical significance. OASIS is associated with significantly greater sexual dysfunction by PISQ-12 scores (mean difference 3.65, 95% CI 5.9-1.4, p<0.001), but no significant difference in vaginal tone or pelvic floor muscle strength. Conclusions Forceps delivery has a long term deleterious effect on pelvic floor structures, particularly with LA. Sonographic evidence of LA is strongly linked with long term pelvic floor dysfunction including objective and bothersome prolapse, and faecal incontinence. Both LA and OASIS were significantly associated with sexual dysfunction in our group of perimenopausal women. The association of sexual dysfunction with both LA and OASIS 20 years after delivery has not been previously described and further studies are indicated to validate these findings. 2016-07-19T04:09:38Z Justifying RAMSI: Geopolitical reasoning, security and New Zealand's involvement in the Solomon Islands conflict http://hdl.handle.net/10523/6706 Justifying RAMSI: Geopolitical reasoning, security and New Zealand's involvement in the Solomon Islands conflict 2016 Stansfield, Matthew This thesis investigates the factors that influenced New Zealand's decision to intervene in the Solomon Islands Conflict, and will argue that its involvement in the decision to establish the Regional Assistance Mission to Solomon Islands (RAMSI) was strongly motivated by concerns about state failure and regional insecurity. These fears aligned with the the global geopolitical environment in the early 2000s, including the threat of transnational terrorism after 9/11 and the way in which terrorists could potentially infiltrate weak states. Debates surrounding the subsequent War on Terror were transposed to the South Pacific in response to fears that the Solomon Islands Conflict could spill over into neighbouring states, further destabilising the region. RAMSI therefore became a 'necessary' measure to prevent the further escalation of the conflict, and to rebuild the state. However, by creating RAMSI as a state-centric measure for rebuilding the state on the basis of the Western concept of statehood, New Zealand paid little attention to the alternative causes of the conflict, including the islands' colonial history, postcolonial development and economic reform. Theoretically, this thesis analyses New Zealand's response by looking at classical geopolitics and critical geopolitics. Whereas classical geopolitics attempts to make objective links between International Relations and physical, human and cultural geography, critical geopolitics questions the nature of these assumptions by investigating the ways in which language, discourse and ideology affect political decision making. By focusing on geopolitical reasoning – the justifications a state makes for its foreign policy, with relation to geography, spatiality or territory – this thesis will examine the discourses undergirding New Zealand's decision to participate in RAMSI. 2016-07-17T20:48:06Z Influence of non-technical elements on the choice of and engagement with social media platforms: Culture and religion and their impact on how young Saudi adults use social media http://hdl.handle.net/10523/6705 Influence of non-technical elements on the choice of and engagement with social media platforms: Culture and religion and their impact on how young Saudi adults use social media 2016 Alnaghaimshi, Noorah This thesis explores how young Saudi Arabian social media users engage with social media platforms in relation to their social, cultural and religious values. This thesis argues that these elements influence the users' self-presentation, level of engagement, sharing practices, online identity, and even their community's acceptance of certain media platforms, alongside the technical and aesthetic design of the platforms. This thesis argues that these non-technical aspects of user engagement need to be considered when designing for user experience, in that they shape behaviour, expectations, and restrictions on users. This research emerged out of earlier work that suggested a gender difference in social media use and uptake by Saudi youth, which was significantly different from the general Saudi population. This research extends that earlier work by comparing social media use by gender and region within Saudi Arabia. Platforms studied are Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and Snapchat. One key influence on Saudi culture is religion, which is, generally, an underexplored area in prior research especially in Saudi social media research. This thesis developed a religiosity scale to assess how and to what extent religious practice influences social media use and to provide a better understanding of the impact of religion as a part of culture. Other influences emerged from the religiosity scale and the wider research: those of family, friends, religious leaders and the wider culture. To further understand various aspects of cultural influence on social media use, this thesis also developed Hofstede's ideas on collectivistic cultures and power distance. Further evidence shows that spending time in an individualistic culture has little to no bearing on cultural behaviour of members of a collectivistic culture with regards to social media use and uptake. Data collection was through cultural and religious scales, interviews, social media profile analysis and analysis of public data such as local news coverage and public Imam profiles and comment threads. From this, an overall picture of social media use in Saudi Arabia was synthesized. Female participants were recruited from across three regions in Saudi Arabia and compared with a matched group of male Saudi students living in New Zealand. This research is important because with the increasing use of social media in Saudi Arabia, it is critical to evaluate the impact of culture on the use of social media, which will help inform the design of user interfaces and tools. It will also help business and government in respect of communication and policy development, such as for privacy. This thesis includes several recommendations for both businesses and social media developers, and recommends areas for further research. 2016-07-15T01:15:48Z An Examination of Emotional Processes in Children with Attention- Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder http://hdl.handle.net/10523/6704 An Examination of Emotional Processes in Children with Attention- Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder 2016 Hatch, Burt Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is characterised by pervasive and impairing symptoms of inattention, impulsiveness, and overactivity. Theoretical models of ADHD have hypothesised that these symptoms arise through disruptions to neural systems that mediate executive functioning, motivation (responses to reward or threat), and arousal. These systems are interconnected and overlap with the neural substrates involved in detecting and responding to emotionally salient stimuli. From this context an interest has emerged in understanding how the experience or recognition of emotion may be disrupted in ADHD. The aim of this thesis was to build upon previous work in developing this understanding. For this purpose, a sample of 43 children (8 girls) with ADHD and a sample of typically developing (TD) children matched on age and gender were recruited to participate in three studies. The first study examined if the ADHD group would recognise fewer emotional facial expressions than the TD group. Importantly, by including similarly difficult task conditions that did not require emotion processing, this study examined if difficulty recognising emotional facial expressions resulted from impairments recognising emotion or other cognitive deficits. Results indicated that the ADHD group was similar to the TD group at recognising the nonemotion stimuli but significantly worse at recognising emotional facial expressions. This clarifies that ADHD is associated with deficits in processing emotional facial expressions beyond the other difficulties associated with the disorder. The second study examined if the ADHD group differed from the TD group on measures of autonomic activity in response to films selected to elicit particular emotions of fear, happiness, and sadness. Results indicated that the ADHD group differed from the TD group on a measure of sympathetic response for the films evoking fear and happiness but not sadness. These differences were moderated by the severity of Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD) symptoms within both the TD group and ADHD group. The results suggest that ADHD is associated with abnormal emotional responses for fear and happiness but this does not necessarily extend to all types of emotional responses, or at least not sadness. The third study compared how the ADHD and TD groups responded to social inclusion and exclusion using a computer simulated ball-throwing game. Social functioning depends largely on emotion and is impaired in ADHD. Results indicated that compared to the TD group, children within the ADHD group had a smaller increase in parasympathetic activity during the inclusion condition and less withdrawal in parasympathetic activity during the exclusion condition. The ADHD group also had a greater change in sharing behaviour following the exclusion condition. These results, taken together with the results from the previous studies, indicate that ADHD is associated with abnormalities in both emotion recognition and emotion response for a range of stimuli, within both social and non-social contexts. This is discussed in the context of possible underlying neurobiological systems that mediate motivation, executive functioning and arousal. 2016-07-14T23:02:35Z Navigating Ever-Changing Seas: Ageing with an Intellectual Disability http://hdl.handle.net/10523/6703 Navigating Ever-Changing Seas: Ageing with an Intellectual Disability 2016 Trip, Henrietta Theodora Introduction As a population, the ageing trajectory for people with intellectual disability is nearing that of the general population. Given that many individuals with intellectual disability continue to live into their middle adult years with someone they identify as family/whānau – this has implications for all parties. There is an emerging body of literature that identifies some of the challenges faced by this largely 'hidden' population. Whilst research about future planning is not necessarily a new phenomenon for this specialist field, the nature of ageing with intellectual disability, the characteristics and dynamics of caregiving and receiving within family/whānau, and the relationship this has to decision-making about ageing, has received limited attention. Hence the aim of this thesis was to explore perspectives about getting older and future planning for people with an intellectual disability and their family/whānau. Method The qualitative design for this study was based on Charmaz's Constructivist Grounded Theory. This methodology was informed by the axiology of what is ethical (transformative paradigm), and the ontology of relativism both of which underpinned the interpretive constructivist epistemology embedded in this grounded theory approach. Non-probability and snowball sampling were used to recruit people with intellectual disability aged 40 years or older, living with someone they identified as family/whānau and whom they nominated to co-participate in this research. Memo writing, interviews, concurrent data collection and theoretical sampling are features of a grounded theory approach that were used across participant groups. Photo elicitation was also used with participants who have intellectual disability to enhance and promote their contribution and inclusion in the research, and also served as a key theoretical sampling approach. Constant comparison data analysis was undertaken between and across participant groups. Results A total of 19 people with intellectual disability and 28 family/whānau were interviewed and the findings revealed a lifelong engagement with caregiving and receiving that was influenced by factors both internal and external to the living situation. Key features of this engagement were identified: Transitions across the individual and collective life courses were denoted in terms of decisions about the member with intellectual disability remaining at home and the subsequent changing roles, responsibilities and expectations within, and between, all in the network of care. Three categories exemplified this journey, namely; Riding the Waves, Shifting Sands – Changing Tides and Uncovering Horizons. Whilst these may appear to be linear, the perspectives and experiences expressed by participants both explored and demonstrated a reflexive interrelationship between these which is posited in Navigating Ever-Changing Seas: An Emergent Theoretical Model. This informs and illustrates the cyclical, evolving and reciprocal nature of caregiving relationships over time, identifies the influences thereto and the impact these have on the person with intellectual disability and those in their family/whānau system of care in terms of their view and experience of ageing. Discussion Navigating Ever-Changing Seas: An Emergent Theoretical Model provides a platform to understand the nature of caregiving and receiving for people who are ageing with intellectual disability and those they identify as family/whānau. The relationship of family/whānau who have a member with intellectual disability is seen to be complex, dynamic, and trans-generational. Each person has an experience and perspective of their identity and relationship with others which has been informed by the past and current philosophies of the caregiving network itself, as well as the wider, external community and socio-political context across the lifespan. As the territory for each person and life-stage changes over time, so does the constructed map (individually and collectively): This impacts upon the perspective and prospect of ageing, future planning, respective and projective roles and responsibilities. It is pivotal that these perspectives do not remain hidden as recognising them will enable and mediate the development of inclusive policies for each member of this caregiving network in regards to practice, research, service planning, development and delivery. 2016-07-14T22:00:11Z Bat Country: Communicating Conservation for New Zealand Bats http://hdl.handle.net/10523/6702 Bat Country: Communicating Conservation for New Zealand Bats 2016 Sheil, Jennifer Bats, the world's only flying mammals, are essential for native biodiversity and natural processes like pollination, but are portrayed negatively by the majority of mainstream media and pop culture, causing them to be disliked or undervalued in public conservation concern. The theory for this research into New Zealand's two endemic, but endangered, bat species and their conservation argues that bats are highly misunderstood creatures, and are widely unrecognized in New Zealand by the public. The lack of recognition that bats receive worldwide, and the shortfall of knowledge from the public sphere about their endangerment have both negatively affected many species of bat, including New Zealand's two species. Negative stigmas surrounding bats may pose difficulty for advocacy for the species, and bats are arguably difficult mammals to save, but New Zealand has begun the process of protecting the animals, by enacting programmes to increase knowledge and recognition of the species within the public sphere. There are five major developments in the country that have promoted action for bat conservation, and they are each assessed by this thesis. The importance of bats to the native ecosystem must be taught to the public in many different systems throughout the country in order to counteract any negative perceptions or absence of knowledge held about bats; this research argues that this can be done through a process called science communication. This thesis will harness the value of science communication as a new and creative field by analysing the effects of storytelling as a system to communicate conservation for endangered bats in New Zealand, exploring how storytelling could become a method for improvement in these sectors. The research also evaluates the role of animal preference, exploring how bats may be engaged in a conservation competition with other species that currently receive more attention from the media within New Zealand. A major goal for this research will be to encourage actions of improvements for New Zealand bat conservation, ultimately growing bat advocacy in New Zealand. 2016-07-14T21:51:01Z

PALO ALTO, CA -- (Marketwired) -- 05/01/14 -- HP (NYSE: HPQ) today introduced HP 3PAR Online Import support for migrating data from EMC VNX(1) and EMC CLARiiON CX4 arrays to HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage, enabling customers to easily and quickly modernize legacy storage infrastructure.
With support for HP EVA Storage and now EMC VNX(1) and CLARiiON CX4 storage systems, customers can save time and money by performing self-directed platform migrations without professional services engagements or external hardware appliances.
The introduction of virtualization, cloud and IT-as-a-Service workloads into the data center adds unpredictable demands on legacy storage, compromising an organization's ability to be agile and efficient. Additionally, moving to a new storage system often requires resource-intensive planning, change management and data migration.
To overcome the roadblocks that enterprises face when modernizing storage, HP 3PAR Online Import software now allows customers to migrate data easily from EMC VNX(1) and EMC CLARiiON CX4 systems to any HP 3PAR StoreServ 7000-Series, 10000-Series or all-flash 7450 array. This user-directed migration utility allows upgrades from legacy EMC arrays to HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage without requiring the use of host resources, specialized host software or additional hardware appliances. By using federated storage innovations and eliminating reliance on host resources, data migration with 3PAR Online Import is less disruptive to applications and can performed faster than other methods.
For existing EMC VNX customers, the latest generation of EMC VNX arrays -- or VNX2 -- use an operating system that is not supported on earlier VNX models, so the upgrade path from a first-generation VNX array to VNX2 requires a full data migration. Replacing EMC VNX(1) and CLARiiON CX4 arrays with VNX2 requires 40 percent to 80 percent more commands than upgrading to HP 3PAR StoreServ,(2) and involves either data migration tools that consume host resources and impact application performance(3) or necessitates the use of costly additional hardware appliances.(4)
"IT managers are challenged to increase business agility and efficiency but are constantly held back by gaps in fragmented and complex legacy storage systems," said David Scott, senior vice president and general manager, HP Storage. "HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage delivers features not available on EMC VNX and now we're removing the data migration roadblock to enable affordable tier-1 storage for trapped EMC customers."
Reduce the cost of storage modernization and data migration
According to industry analysts and the professional IT community at Wikibon, data migration has traditionally been a source of pain for customers. A Wikibon study states that the time to provision new arrays averages five months and migration costs exceed one-half of the initial array cost itself.(5)
To help customers reduce storage costs, HP 3PAR Online Import software leverages the HP 3PAR Gen4 ASIC to drive efficient, inline, fat-to-thin conversion that takes fully provisioned (or fat) volumes from a legacy storage system and uses zero-block deduplication technology to convert them into thin-provisioned volumes on HP 3PAR StoreServ. It is this built-in fat-to-thin conversion capability that enables HP to offer a 50 percent capacity savings guarantee to EMC customers as part of the Get Thin Guarantee program.(6)
HP 3PAR Online Import software is provided to new HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage customers at no charge for 180 days as part of the HP 3PAR Operating System (OS) Suite and does not require professional services. This means that migrating from older EMC VNX(1) and EMC CLARiiON CX4 storage systems to HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage is now extremely cost-efficient and, in many cases, less costly than migrating to VNX2 since no additional hardware is ever required.
Increase agility with storage born for virtualization and IT as a Service
HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage is a multitenant storage platform with tier-1 resiliency features and a single operating system that spans high-end, midrange, all-flash and hybrid arrays. This allows customers to reduce administrative complexity via common management across multiple classes of storage. In addition, customers can increase resource utilization by consolidating diverse and unpredictable workloads onto a single system and by nondisruptively load balancing between HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage systems. A common architecture also allows customers to upgrade to the latest version of the HP 3PAR OS on any model HP 3PAR StoreServ System.(7)
HP will be in Las Vegas May 5-7 to promote the ease of migration from EMC VNX(1) and CLARiiON CX4 storage arrays to HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage as part of the "72 Hours of Yes" event. EMC customers in Las Vegas May 4-7 can tweet #72hoursofyes to request a complimentary ride from the airport, coffee or anything else to make their trip more enjoyable. The HP Storage Yes Team will try to say "yes" to as many fun and appropriate requests as possible.
Pricing and availability
- HP 3PAR Online Import software is included at no charge for 180 days with the HP 3PAR OS Suite, version 3.1.2 MU2 and later.
- HP 3PAR Online Import support for EMC VNX(1) and EMC CLARiiON CX4 arrays will be available in June at no additional cost, and will be included as part of the 3PAR OS Suite version 3.1.3 MU1 and later.
