The vision of the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Psychiatrists (RANZCP) is of ‘a fellowship of psychiatrists working with and for the general community to achieve the best attainable quality of psychiatric care and mental health’. It is the principal organisation representing the specialty of psychiatry in Australia and New Zealand; it currently has around 2600 Fellows, who account for approximately 85% of psychiatrists in Australia and 50% of psychiatrists in New Zealand. The RANZCP sets the curriculum, accredits training and training programmes, and assesses trainee psychiatrists. In addition, it administers a continuing professional development programme for practising psychiatrists, has a role in policy development, publishes two scientific journals – the Australian and New Zealand Journal of Psychiatry and Australasian Psychiatry – and holds an annual scientific congress.

Lone mother families are seen as a major policy problem facing governments throughout the OECD. Responses to this problem in New Zealand, as in many other countries, are couched in terms of imposing work and training programmes to encourage exit from dependency on government financial support. This article uses ideas of ‘needs talk’ and discourse coalitions to explore the language of policy framing. Two periods in the development of the women's movement in New Zealand during which opportunities within political institutions have been available to women are examined. It is argued that an unintended consequence of naming needs for many women has been to contribute to the marginalisation of needs of lone mothers and indirectly to encourage policies which seek control and normalisation of this group.

A questionaire was sent to 150 College members selected at random. The answers given by the 112 (72%) who replied are summarised. They indicate a marked interest in psychotherapy. The majority believe that formal training in psychotherapy is both possible and necessary but that the doctor's own personality is important and may raise difficulties in training. Personal and group supervision are the preferred methods of teaching.

Objective: The aims of this study were to develop a profile of current psychiatric trainees in New Zealand, to identify factors important in their recruitment to and retention in psychiatric training and to identify factors that predict failure to complete training. Method: A survey was sent to all current psychiatric trainees in New Zealand and to all trainees who could be traced who had left psychiatric training in New Zealand in the last 5 years without completing the Fellowship of the Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Psychiatrists. Results: General characteristics of the two groups are presented, as well as information about recruitment, burnout, general health and experiences of work and training. The only significant difference in general characteristics between the two groups was that more of those who had left training prematurely had been born overseas. The levels of family and personal mental illness were high, but there was no difference in these rates between those who had stayed in training and those who had left prematurely. Most trainees had decided to pursue a psychiatric career during their house-officer years. The most important factors determining the choice of a career in psychiatry were philosophical interest and house-officer experience in psychiatry. With respect to retention, despite high rates of burnout and psychological morbidity, and dissatisfaction with various aspects of the work setting, 94% of current trainees indicated satisfaction with their decision to train in psychiatry and over 90% intended to practise in New Zealand in the future. Most trainees who left training prematurely did so during the first 2 years of training. Dissatisfaction with work conditions, and stress or burnout were the main reasons for leaving. Conclusions: This study provides information on some of the complex determinants of psychiatric recruitment and retention in the New Zealand setting. Areas that could be addressed in order to improve recruitment, work satisfaction and retention in training are considered.

<p>Research into the practical needs and activities of orchestra librarians in New Zealand is rare. This study explores how orchestra librarians and conductors search for, access and manage printed music for the orchestras' players. The constraints of access and availability and the collaborative relationships that enable the sharing of resources are also examined. The research uses a qualitative approach with data collected from open-ended interview questions with eighteen participants who come from professional and amateur orchestras and the National Library of New Zealand. The findings show that orchestras in New Zealand access music from many different sources and the National Library plays a key role in this activity. The groups face constraints in accessing contemporary music (except New Zealand music) due to cost and copyright issues and there are constraints relating to the condition and use of printed hire music. The report concludes that there is a need for a national orchestra association in New Zealand to provide support for both amateur and professional orchestras. Cataloguing projects to increase the visibility and access of existing music resources and training programmes for performance librarians are other areas that are considered.</p>

RESUMO As concepções patrimoniais que muitas vezes aprisionavam o bem cultural imaterial na idéia de “usos e costumes sem valor para comercialização”, pois a essência da preservação seria mais importante do que sua mercantilização, têm caído por terra nas últimas décadas com as discussões de promoção de sustentabilidade, redução da informalidade econômica, combate à exclusão social e elaboração de políticas públicas. Propõe-se nesse trabalho que os museus de ciência e tecnologia no Brasil devem atuar na difusão e popularização da C,T&I junto à sociedade, envolvendo órgãos governamentais, instituições científicas/comerciais e universidades na extensão tecnológica direcionada às associações de artesãos para a informação/formação, a apropriação e o uso de instrumentais que garantam os direitos de Propriedade Intelectual na conquista da cidadania e elevação da qualidade de vida individual e coletiva. Considera-se que a existência de distintas formas/concepções de registro, quando atuam de forma colaborativa, congregando o museu como um importante aliado na popularização da C,T&I junto à sociedade, servem com maior eficácia à proteção dos produtos e modos de saber-fazer, complementando as lacunas presentes na legislação.Palavras-chave: Museus; Tecnologia; Propriedade Intelectual; Conhecimentos Tradicionais; Registro.           ABSTRACT The patrimonial conceptions which often imprisoned intangible cultural goods in the idea of "uses and customs without value for marketing", because the essence of preservation would be more important than its commoditization, have fallen apart in recent decades due to discussions promoting sustainability, reduction of economic informality, combating social exclusion and public policy development. It is proposed in this work that museums of science and technology in Brazil should act in the dissemination and popularization of Science, Technology and Innovation (STI) in society, involving government agencies, scientific institutions/universities in technological extension and directed to artisans' associations for information and training, ownership and the use of instruments that guarantee intellectual property rights in attaining  citizenship and the quality of individual and collective life. It is considered that the existence of different forms/designs of registry, when operating collaboratively, attracting the museum as an important ally in the popularization of STI can be more effective for the protection of products and know-how, complementing present gaps in legislation.Keywords: Museums; Technology; Intellectual Property; Traditional Knowledge; Record.

This paper examines the factors that influence the quality of training and education on project management. The authors present the results of two questionnaire-based surveys. The goal of the first survey was to find what factors influence the quality of project management education, according to the perspective of trainers, professors, and training providers. The respondents included Chinese and European academics and professionals, such as project managers, software developers, financial managers and professors. The respondents were not only involved in project management training but also served as team members or team managers, thus ensuring a balanced overview of theoretical and practical issues. The goal of the second survey was to explore the definition “quality” to trainees and students. Although there were small differences of perspective, both trainers and trainees have the same approach toward a qualitative project management education.
