<p>Stepped-ness in Medium Density Housing investigates a new form of design, where the site is organised according to different conditions of public, common, shared and private spaces. Stepped-ness is used as a technique for controlling relations at a range of scales and intimacies —from urban to interior— and as a tool for creating continuity of public to private, inside to outside and building to landscape. As a result, circulation and dwelling become integrated as part of a stepped morphology in which higher density living is able to accommodate both a desire for privacy, and a connection with neighbours.  The typical detached New Zealand house reinforces the nuclear family as unit and precludes the extended family. Local models of medium density housing replicate these conventions and continue to deliver autonomous and identifiably singular buildings defined by lot and footprint size. Challenging these conventions, the architectural hardware of this proposal allows boundaries to be redefined according to the preferred size and configuration of a variety of household types. The identity of ‘home’ is less determined by size, and more by relations – within the household and between dwelling and public realm.  Insistently organisational, mat-building explores relational distances. The stepped-mat is examined in terms of the design of mediatory devices and ancillary spaces as the primary element of space planning. This was inspired by Atelier Bow Wow, who is known for creating, “not an architecture of spaces, but an architecture of relationships,” (Fujimori, 2010, p. 128). Initially concerned with the step as a tool for design, this thesis developed to consider the stepped-mat as a way of both controlling and designing space at a range of scales. How then, could the kinds of interstitial and circulation spaces between dwellings be exploited for incidental meetings between neighbours, to sit outside and read a book, or bring some daylight into a corridor (Barker & Simons, 2012, p.155). Designed to both transport and accommodate us, the stairs’ behaviour in the breakdown of vertical and horizontal space drives this design, and forms new relations between households.</p>

Major Disruption

People receiving haemodialysis have considerable and complex dietary and healthcare needs, including co-morbidities. A recent New Zealand study has shown that few patients on haemodialysis are able to meet nutritional requirements for haemodialysis. This study aims to describe the perspectives and experiences of dietary management among patients on haemodialysis in New Zealand. This exploratory qualitative study used in-depth semi-structured interviews. Purposive sampling was used to recruit participants from different ethnic groups. Forty interviews were conducted, audio-recorded and transcribed verbatim. An inductive approach was taken using thematic analysis. Forty participants were interviewed. Participants spoke of major disruption to their lives as a result of their chronic kidney disease and being on haemodialysis, including loss of employment, financial challenges, loss of independence, social isolation and increased reliance on extended family. Most had received adequate dietary information, although some felt that more culturally appropriate support would have enabled a healthier diet. These findings show that further support to make the recommended dietary changes while on haemodialysis should focus on socio-cultural factors, in addition to the information already provided.

The Village

In Mesoamerica and the Near East, the emergence of the village seems to have involved two stages. In the first stage, individuals were distributed through a series of small circular-to-oval structures, accompanied by communal or “shared” storage features. In the second stage, nuclear families occupied substantial rectangular houses with private storage rooms. Over the last 30 years a wealth of data from the Near East, Egypt, the Trans-Caucasus, India, Africa, and the Southwest U.S. have enriched our understanding of this phenomenon. And in Mesoamerica and the Near East, evidence suggests that nuclear family households eventually gave way to a third stage, one featuring extended family households whose greater labor force made possible extensive multifaceted economies.

The aim of the research presented in the paper is to explore the inter-relations between care processes and personal social networks as social capital in the light of the changing family models. Research of interdependence of care, social capital and family models is based on the idea of family practices suggested by Morgan. The main research question is what family practices of various family models create such social capital that ensure caring for its' members? The research hypothesis is that participation in various activities together with family members and persons beyond nuclear and extended family create dense social networks of caregivers. The analysis is based on data of representative quantitative survey carried out in Lithuania between 2011 November-2012 May within the ESF supported research project "Trajectories of family models and social networks: intergenerational perspective". Research results only partly support this hypothesis: particular family practices create networks of caregivers, but in order to involve particular persons into network of caregivers, different family practices in various family models are needed. Usually, inhabitants of Lithuania primarily expect to receive care from persons who depend to nuclear family created through marriage and extended family arisen from this relation. But persons from whom it is expected to receive care and care received differ in Lithuania. In reality, caregivers usually are children in families with children and parents in families without children. Family practices that create social networks of caregivers, and are common for all family models include annual feasts like Christmas Eve, Christmas, Easter, All Soul's Day, New Year party, Mother's Day. Various family practices differently impacting creation social networks of caregivers for different family models but usually its include joint dinner daily, Sunday lunch together, vacations with family, communication face-toface, by the telephone or Internet, consultations on important decision-making, All Soul's Day feast, Christmas celebration, Mother's Day, Gatherings of relatives, Birthday, Name-day feast, visiting cultural event together.

Background: Nature of the disease, side effect from treatments such as surgery, chemotherapy, and chemo radiation reduce the patient’s quality of life. Thus, the family support is substantial in cancer patient treatment. Aim of this study was comparing the quality of life of patients with cervical cancer in support of the nuclear family and extended family at Dr. Sardjito hospital Yogyakarta, Indonesia.Methods: The study population were all cervical cancer patients treated with chemotherapy in Dr. Sardjito general hospital, Yogyakarta, Indonesia from October to November 2016. Samples were collected using purposive sampling to obtain 62 respondents, 30 respondents for nuclear family group and 32 for extended family group. The study instruments were family support questionnaire, EORTC QLQ-C30 Indonesian version, and EORTC QLQ-C24 were translated to Indonesian. The quality of life was assessed during chemotherapy.Results: Quality of life for cervical cancer patient from supportive family had mean >50. The respective mean of general health status for patients from supportive nuclear and extended family were 76.28±21.434 and 67.82±22.017. Nearly all items in symptom, multi-item and single-item scales had mean <50, except item financial problem. Meanwhile, quality of life for cervical cancer patient from unsupportive family had mean >50. The respective mean of general health status for patients from unsupportive nuclear and extended family were 70.83±20.972 and 75.00±8.33. Nearly all items in symptom, multi-item and single-item scales had mean <50, except items fatigue and sore. Several items of quality of life had p<0.05, which were constipation (p=0.049), and financial problem (p=0.045).Conclusions: There was no significant difference between quality of life of cervical cancer patients with support from nuclear and extended families. However, in ‘financial problem’ item, nuclear family had better quality of life while in contrast, extended family had better quality of life in ‘constipation’ item. Family education program needed because several domains of quality of life is still low and requires family involvement in treatment.

Nyeboeconus robisoni gen. et sp. nov., is described from the Middle Cambrian Henson Gletscher Formation of western North Greenland. Some authors have interpreted similar shelIs as chondrophorine hydrozoans or invertebrate fossils of uncertain systematic position. The coiled, cap-shaped shell and the presence of an internal plate, or pegma, suggest, however, that this new form is the second genus to be described of the Family Enigmaconidae MacKinnon, 1985 (Mollusca, Class Helcionelloida), otherwise known only from rocks of similar age in New Zealand.

Bentuk keluarga di Indonesia cukup beragam, namun secara garis besar bentuk keluarga tersebut dibagi menjadi nuclear family dan extended family. Kedua bentuk keluarga ini memiliki perbedaan mendasar dari anggota keluarga yang ada dalam keluarga tersebut, dimana keduanya mampu menimbulkan dinamika yang berbeda  khususnya dari ketersediaan dukungan sosial dan berdampak terhadap Parenting Self-Efficacy (PSE) ayah. Penelitian ini bertunjuan untuk mengetahui apakah ada perbedaan PSE ayah pada nuclear dan extended family yang diukur dengan menggunakan Fathering Self-Efficacy Scale (FSES), dimana desain penelitian yang digunakan adalah penelitian kuantitatif. Teknik sampling dalam penelitian ini adalah snowball dengan jumlah subjek sebesar 200 orang dan data yang didapatkan dari subjek dianalisis dengan menggunakan uji Mann Whitney. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan nilai Z= -1.273 dan p=0.216 (p>0.05) sehingga dapat diketahui bahwa tidak terdapat perbedaan yang signifikan terhadap PSE ayah pada nuclear dan extended family.  Kata Kunci: Parenting Self-Efficacy,  nuclear family, extended family There are a lot of family form in Indonesia, but the outline of that form devides into nuclear family and extended family. The basic difference of both of them is family member who existing in and causes a different dynamic spesifically the availibilty of social support, so at the end of the day it will affect on father’s Parenting Self-Efficacy (PSE). The aim of this study is identying the differences of PSE level between father in nuclear family and extended family by using a Fathering Self-Efficacy Scale (FSES) with  quantitative as a research design. Snowball is a sampling technique with 200 subjects and the data is analyzed by using Mann Whitney test. The result shows Z score=-1.273 and p=0.216 (p>0.05), therefore there is no significant differences of PSE level between father in nuclear and extended family. Keywords:  PSE, nuclear family, extended family

<p>This thesis investigates the scope for compact development to accommodate population growth in Wellington, New Zealand. The topic is particularly significant for New Zealand as the great majority of the population lives in urban areas, historical development has been dominated by low density urban form, and transport and urban form are two of the main domains in which the country can reduce its carbon emissions. The influence of urban planning and residents’ preferences on achieving sustainable outcomes is investigated.  Historical and current planning rules and transport policies in the City are analysed to determine their influence on the provision of compact development. Wellington’s transport policy shows a pattern of path dependency: historical decisions to favour car oriented investment have driven subsequent transport investments and influenced the ease of using different transport modes. Planning policies show a similar pattern of path dependency: planning rules enacted in the 1960s endure in present planning despite being packaged with different justifications and regulatory regime. Current planning rules severely restrict infill development in most existing neighbourhoods, which reduces the availability of housing in accessible medium density neighbourhoods and likely increases the cost of this type of housing.  A stated choice survey was conducted of 454 residents of Wellington City to investigate the extent to which there is an unmet demand for compact development and alternatives to car travel. The survey held presentation mode constant across two completion modes (internet and door to door with tablet completion), allowing the impacts of recruitment and completion mode to be examined. Survey recruitment mode appeared to influence both response rates and the representativeness of the survey, while completion mode appeared to have little or no impact on survey responses.  Using the stated choice survey results, a latent class model was developed to examine the preferences of residents and the trade-offs they are willing to make when choosing where to live. This type of model allows for the identification of preference groups as a means of understanding the diversity of preferences across the population. The study found that there is an unmet demand for medium density, accessible housing, but that affordability is a barrier for households to choose this type of housing. There was also an unmet demand for walking and cycling, with more residents currently driving than would prefer to use this mode, and more residents preferring to walk and cycle to work than currently use these modes. The ability to use a desired travel mode appears to be related to the neighbourhood in which a person lives, with residents of medium and high density neighbourhoods being more likely to use their preferred travel mode.  This study also modelled future development trajectories for Wellington based on demand for housing, neighbourhood and transport attributes. This preference based growth model was contrasted with the City’s plan for development over the next 30 years. Comparing the two scenarios, the planning based trajectory performed better than the demand based scenario in terms of both carbon emissions and achieving compact development.</p>
