A poem based on an encounter with an audience member by the author following a prison theater production that the author was in as a mentor actor working alongside male inmates. The poem was presented as part of a panel on Applied Theater and Change—that is, how are we to know that change has occurred as a result of an applied theater experience or performance—at the triennial International Drama in Education Research Institute, University of Auckland, New Zealand in July of 2018.

New Zealand's scientific institutions have been restructured so as to be more responsive to the needs of the economy. Exploration for and development of oil and gas resources depend heavily on the geological sciences. In New Zealand, these activities are favoured by a comprehensive, open-file database of the results of previous work, and by a historically publicly funded, in-depth knowledge base of the extensive sedimentary basins. This expertise is now only partially funded by government research contracts, and increasingly undertakes contract work in a range of scientific services to the upstream petroleum sector, both in New Zealand and overseas. By aligning government-funded research programmes with the industry's knowledge needs, there is maximum advantage in improving the understanding of the occurrence of oil and gas resources. A Crown Research Institute can serve as an interface between advances in fundamental geological sciences, and the practical needs of the industry. Current publicly funded programmes of the Institute of Geological and Nuclear Sciences include a series of regional basin studies, nearing completion; and multi-disciplinary team studies related to the various elements of the petroleum systems of New Zealand: source rocks and their maturation, migration and entrapment as a function of basin structure and tectonics, and the distribution and configuration of reservoir systems.

This paper describes a qualitative survey of professional statisticians carried out in New Zealand in 2014. The aim of the study was to find out if the issues this group faced were consistent with those identified in the literature. The issues identified were integrity, legitimacy, isolation, workforce shortage, communication, and marginalisation. They represent points of frustration for statisticians that may impact on the future of the profession as it responds to increasing demands and higher expectations. We found that these issues resonated for many of the statisticians included in our study and we have discussed a number of strategies to address them. They include raising our profile, attracting a broader range of people to the profession, increasing our communication skills, raising the statistical literacy of the people we work with, and a commitment to making it easy to engage with our colleagues.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to examine the trends in accounting-education publications and the influence of journal rankings for authors from Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the UK. Design/methodology/approach – The authors included the publications in ten accounting-education journals for the 20-year period from 1993 to 2012. Findings – The data provide insights into the perceptions of accounting-education journals by authors from four countries. The authors found that, while the use of Accounting Education as a publication outlet for accounting authors from Australia and the UK was relatively stable, the use of Accounting Education as a publication outlet increased (decreased) for the accounting authors from New Zealand (Canada). The authors also found that, while coauthoring by the accounting authors from Australia and the UK increased slightly, coauthoring by the accounting authors from Canada and New Zealand increased during the 20-year period. Research limitations/implications – The data suggests a tendency by the authors from these four countries to publish their accounting-education research in journals that had been ranked as a top accounting journal. Originality/value – This paper is the first paper to consider trends in international accounting-education publications. The data in this research can be used by accounting faculty wishing to assess which journals their colleagues publish in most frequently.

In this paper, the machining properties of Picea spp., compared with Castanopsis hystrix, were tested. Their properties were conducted according to the criteria ASTM D1666-87 and the test on crosscutting is referred to the method established by New Zealand Forest Research Institute. The results show as follow: The machining properties of Picea spp. and Castanopsis hystrix show excellent in the planning, sanding, boring, shaping and crosscutting, but in the mortising properties, Picea spp. which was a bit poor shows fair and Castanopsis hystrix shows good. The properties of Picea spp. were in an all-round way better than Castanopsis hystrix. In the machining performance comprehensive evaluation system for full marks 50 points, their comprehensive marks were separately 45.5 points and 44.4 points.

Rabbits have the potential to produce meat for the animal protein consumption. At present, rabbit farming has developed in Indonesia.The development of rabbit farming is also Rabbits have the potential to produce meat for the animal protein consumption. At present, rabbit farming has developed in Indonesia.The development of rabbit farming is also accompanied by problems in the rabbit productivity. The problem that occurs in rabbit breeders is the low productivity of rabbits. The aim of this research was to identify the effect of force mating to the percentage of pregnancy in New Zealand White (NZW) rabbits at Indonesia Research Institute of Animal Production (IRIAP). The material used in this research were 99 heads New Zealand White (NZW) rabbits in the rabbit station at the IRIAP. The treatment in this study is that the dam of NZW is mated in natural mating and force mating. Pregnancy percentage data were analyzed using T test. The results showed that the percentage of pregnancy between natural and force mating was significantly different (P <.05). The percentage of pregnancy with natural mating in rabbits is higher when compared to force mating, but force mating can to increase the high percentage of pregnancy. The conclusion of the study is that the pregnancy percentage for force mating is lower when compared to natural mating. However, force mating can increase the percentage of pregnancy to reach 74%. by problems in the rabbit productivity. The problem that occurs in rabbit breeders is the low productivity of rabbits.
