This paper considers a new form of graphic novel that combines the potentials of print and Virtual Reality [VR] storytelling. The novel ‘Upgraded Gods’, now in its final year of development, uses an autobiographical narrative to consider the nature and impact of malignant and collective narcissism in contemporary Russian society. The thesis asks, ‘How might one employ physical and virtual modes of storytelling to enhance empathetic experience in a narrative that considers the nature and impact of malignant narcissism?’ Goldner-Vukov & Moore (2010) identify malignant narcissism as a severe personality disorder that has “devastating consequences for the family and society” (p. 392), while traumatic childhood experiences are considered foundational to the development of malignant narcissism. Covington (2018) suggests that leaders can only enact a narcissistic abuse of power when they receive the support from a traumatised society that searches for “a charismatic leader who will promise to restore power and status to the group” (p. 255). Employing an autoethnographic methodology activated by heuristic inquiry, the study develops an immersive narrative that follows a protagonist through her childhood in the USSR, through the fall of the Soviet Union in 1991, into her exile and subsequent analysis of contemporary Russian politics and society. The significance of the research lies in its employment of creative practice to contribute embodied experience to wider theoretical discourses that consider the dynamics of power abuse through social and political aggression. Specifically, the study also examines the manner in which traumatic experiences may affect individuals' wellbeing, and shape social institutions and economics, contributing to the rise of far-right, nationalist, and fundamentalist movements. In the realm of graphic novel design, such analyses may be identified in a emerging trajectory of autobiographical literary works such as "Persepolis" by Marjane Satrapi, "Gast" by Carol Swain, and “Commute” by Erin Williams.

This oral presentation aims to discuss the results of my study regarding the determinants and usefulness of accounting for equity financial instruments after the effect of the new accounting standard: International Financial Reporting Standard (IFRS) 9 Financial Instruments. The prohibition of recycling fair value gains or losses (FVGL) on equity instruments from other comprehensive income (OCI) to profit or loss when derecognition and the default fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL) presentation with alternative fair value through OCI (FVTOCI) option are some major changes for equity financial instruments accounting in IFRS 9. Motivated by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB)’s continuing monitoring implementation evidence on equity instruments classification and measurement, I examine firms’ accounting choices in presenting FVGL on EFA either at FVTOCI or at FVTPL under the framework of Positive Accounting Theory (PAT) and whether the presentation location matters to investors in ASX 500 firms. I find that firms’ EFA holdings are not changed after IFRS 9 in terms of whether to hold an EFA or EFA holding amount. FVGL on EFA presentation location choice is not used opportunistically in firms to smooth earnings or increase profitability. However, information asymmetry for FVTOCI presentation choice increased after IFRS 9 adoption in non-financial firms. EFA amount in financial firms provides incremental value relevance to the market regardless of IFRS 9 adoption, and the EFA presentation location matters to investors. The results of this study provide evidence to standard setters to understand the determinants and usefulness of EFA under IFRS 9, which has implications for further revisions. I contribute to the debate around whether to recycle FVGL from OCI or not. Moreover, I extend accounting choice and value relevance literature in financial instruments accounting that is of value to a broad constituency, such as managers, investors, and various financial statement users.

In this presentation I investigate the methods and tools enmeshed in the creation of the short hybrid animated documentary Untitled Grief (Hoyle, 2023). Untitled Grief is one film of a suite of films which are being produced for a practice-led doctoral study (Smith & Dean, 2009). The films seek to document and visualise the human phenomena of loss in order to answer the question: How might a documentary filmmaker heighten resonance in narratives of grief through the use of animated images and sound? The project is underpinned by heuristic inquiry (Moustakas, 1990). Heuristic inquiry bolsters my examination of loss through tapping into autobiographical narratives as a way to uncover meaning while sustaining the focused search to expand the investigation. Potential is released to reveal universal significance of the phenomenon being explored. This type of inquiry is flexible, open and immersive. Tacit knowledge (Polanyi, 1967) is extracted and utilised. The researcher is guided by phases beginning with a focused initial encounter with the topic or question. Heuristic inquiry suggests a system of phases which guides the researcher throughout the research path. As an adaptation to this methodology and being led by practice, a series of principles of engagement have emerged; embracing uncertainty as a tool for creativity; utilising serendipity as a structured occurrence, emboldening the researcher’s poetic self; returning to indwelling with creative projects; aroha (love, respect, empathy) at the core of research practice.

Object-oriented cognition suggests that human thinking and perception are largely based on our interactions with objects in the world, and that our ability to recognise objects and understand their properties is fundamental to how we make sense of the world. Similarly, Enactivism emphasises the role of bodily interactions and experiences in shaping our cognitive processes, from imagining or remembering to scientific models that help advance our understanding of the world. However, the ubiquitous presence of digital technologies in our daily life implies that the nature and properties of artifacts as a means of directing cognition are impacted by a redefinition of the material properties of those artifacts. Digital Ontophany (Vial, 2018, 2019) argues that technologies generate cyclical changes in the way we perceive things (ontophanic shifts). These shifts affect our phenomenological experience of the world and have the power to change our idea of what is possible. Through a mix of micro-phenomenology and micro-ethnography, this research collects first-person accounts of the experience of learning with digital devices in a secondary school in Aotearoa New Zealand, as a way to shine light onto the black-boxed assemblage of learners and devices. The main aims of this presentation are to introduce a comprehensive literature review that supports this research and to discuss the initial findings, which indicate the emergence of a new dynamic of digital artifactuality that materialises new conditions of possibility and a redefinition of embodied dexterity.

Social connectedness is defined as having strong social relationships or networks. A high degree of social connectedness has been found to promote adjustment and psychosocial well-being of university students. Social connections enrich students' social lives, help them make new friends, and alleviate homesickness. However, first-year students often report difficulty making social connections, leading to psychological problems and high dropout rates. Students who fail to develop social networks face greater challenges integrating into the university environment (Jorgenson et al., 2018). A shift to online teaching during COVID-19, and its continued use, has impacted the opportunities students have to integrate socially, with implications for their adjustment and well-being (Elmer et al., 2020). This research utilizes a mixed-methods approach. Study 1 employs qualitative interviews (n=20) to: (1) explore how domestic and international students establish social connections in the post-COVID era; and (2) identify adjustment challenges students face during their first year of university. Study 2, using a sample of 300 NZ university students, will examine the validity of the Student Adaptation to College Questionnaire (Baker & Siryk, 1989), and its suitability for use in Study 3. Study 3 will employ a quantitative longitudinal design with survey data (n=400) collected at two time-points. It aims to investigate the influence of first-year university students' levels of social connectedness on adjustment to university and psychosocial wellbeing. This research will contribute to a greater understanding of the factors that impact the successful transition to a university environment. It may also enable tertiary institutions to develop strategies to enhance students' academic experience and safeguard their wellbeing.
社会联系被定义为拥有强大的社会关系或网络。研究发现，高度的社会联系能促进大学生的适应和心理健康。社会关系丰富了学生的社会生活，帮助他们结交新朋友，减轻乡愁。然而，一年级学生经常报告难以建立社会关系，导致心理问题和高辍学率。未能发展社交网络的学生在融入大学环境方面面临更大的挑战(Jorgenson et al.， 2018)。COVID-19期间向在线教学的转变及其继续使用，影响了学生融入社会的机会，对他们的适应和福祉产生了影响(Elmer et al.， 2020)。本研究采用混合方法。研究1采用定性访谈(n=20):(1)探讨国内和国际学生在后疫情时代如何建立社会关系;(2)确定学生在大学第一年面临的适应挑战。研究2，使用300名新西兰大学生的样本，将检验学生适应大学问卷的有效性(Baker &Siryk, 1989)，以及在研究3中使用的适用性。研究3将采用定量纵向设计，在两个时间点收集调查数据(n=400)。本研究旨在探讨大学一年级学生社会联系水平对大学适应和心理健康的影响。这项研究将有助于更好地理解影响成功过渡到大学环境的因素。它也可以使高等教育院校制定策略，以提高学生的学术经验和保障他们的福祉。

Landslide studies hold significant importance in understanding and mitigating the risks associated with these geohazards. Particularly in regions like New Zealand, where diverse topography and climatic conditions contribute to frequent landslide occurrences, such studies are crucial. This research focuses on Muriwai, Auckland, a region that has experienced substantial landslide activity triggered by rainfall. The study adopts a multi-model approach, integrating both empirical and process-based models to predict rainfall-induced landslides. This approach leverages the strengths of individual models, including logistic regression, random forest, support vector machines, artificial neural networks, and decision trees, thereby enhancing the robustness and accuracy of predictions. A comprehensive dataset, comprising historical landslide records, climatic data, and terrain and geological data, is used to train and validate these models. The data is spatially aligned within a unified Geographic Information System (GIS) database, ensuring consistency and accuracy in the analysis. The multi-model ensemble provides a probabilistic prediction of landslide occurrence, which is visualized as a landslide susceptibility map. This map serves as a valuable tool for understanding the spatial distribution of landslide risks in Muriwai. The performance of each model and the ensemble is evaluated using several metrics, ensuring the reliability of the predictions. The results are interpreted to understand the influence of different factors, particularly climatic parameters, on landslide occurrences. This study's findings contribute to effective landslide risk management and mitigation strategies in Muriwai, Auckland, and provide valuable insights for similar studies in other regions.

The research seeks to understand the impacts of colonisation on wahine whakairo through mana wahine theory. “Orooro te toki na Hine-tua-hoanga” It is through the lens of a toki (adze), originally shaped and sharpened by atua wahine Hine-Tua-Haonga that we may reclaim, reimagine, and reshape our past, present, and future. The research inquiry adopts a pūrākau methodology that functions simultaneously with practice-led research and kaupapa Māori theory. The key research findings are carved and painted components that are part of a wider collective and hononga (connect) to construct a pātaka mātauranga story-house for communities to gather and wānanga. The design and construction of a contemporary carved story-house, that encompasses and connects mātauranga Māori past, present, and future, aims to provide an archive of indigenous knowledge that is relevant to our time and space. Contemporary lived experiences and information is embodied on the inside and outside of the structure through the application of customary and contemporary methods and materials. Because the creative process involves using repurposed or rescued ancient native timber, I realised there was a need to innovate a rongoā to support the wood for construction and to withstand natural deterioration. During the research, a rongoā embodied with ethical Māori values was created to function as a satin finish for carved taonga and to help restore repurposed or damaged rākau within Māori architecture and whakairo. This unique rongoā is a sustainable and natural remedy that can be applied within the marae restoration and creative industries. Contemporary whakairo practitioners could seal, heal, and restore the rākau used for building construction or carving. The ingredients within this rongoā are derived from the atua, making it a supreme sealant, and protectant that reduces decay. The rongoā rākau will be presented through a creative exhibition that showcases a small component of the pātaka mātauranga story-house.
该研究试图通过wahine理论来理解殖民化对wahine whakairo的影响。“Orooro te toki na Hine-tua-hoanga”通过toki (adze)的镜头，最初由atua wahine Hine-Tua-Haonga塑造和打磨，我们可以收回，重新想象和重塑我们的过去，现在和未来。研究调查采用pūrākau方法，与实践主导的研究和kaupapa Māori理论同时发挥作用。主要的研究成果是雕刻和绘画组件，这些组件是更广泛的集体和hononga(连接)的一部分，用于建造一个pātaka mātauranga层高的房屋，供社区聚集和wānanga。设计和建造一座当代雕刻的故事屋，它包含并连接mātauranga Māori的过去、现在和未来，旨在提供与我们的时间和空间相关的土著知识档案。当代的生活经验和信息通过习惯和当代的方法和材料的应用体现在结构的内部和外部。由于创意过程涉及到使用重新利用或拯救的古老本地木材，我意识到有必要创新一种rongoā来支持木材的建设，并承受自然退化。在研究过程中，一种体现道德Māori价值观的龙戈ā被创造出来，作为雕刻taonga的缎面饰面，并帮助恢复Māori建筑和whakairo中重新利用或损坏的rākau。这种独特的龙戈是一种可持续和自然的补救措施，可以应用于市场修复和创意产业。当代whakairo从业者可以密封、治愈和修复用于建筑或雕刻的rākau。这龙戈内的成分是从阿图亚，使其成为一个最高的密封剂和保护剂，减少腐烂。龙戈rākau将通过一个创意展览来展示pātaka mātauranga层屋的一小部分。

Playcentre is a parent-led Early Childhood Education (ECE) model in Aotearoa New Zealand wherein parents can build relationships with other whānau while being present to educate their children. Playcentre has a long-standing tradition of empowering parents and children to undertake education together. Māori parents’ experiences of Playcentre represent a unique perspective on the bicultural underpinnings of Playcentre and the national ECE curriculum, Te Whāriki. This research opens a conversation about different cultural perspectives within Playcentre. It is a timely conversation as ECE is increasingly becoming an outsourced job, where funding favours teacher-led services. Focussed through a kaupapa Māori lens, this research explores Māori parents’ experiences of Playcentre, their reasons for choosing Playcentre, and their understandings of the bicultural ECE curriculum Te Whāriki. Data was collected through six interviews, as well as an interview I conducted with myself using a narrative inquiry approach, and was analysed using reflexive thematic analysis. This presentation looks at a key theme of this research which showed that positive partnership between tangata whenua and tangata tiriti is paramount to Māori parents’ feelings of empowerment as Māori in Playcentre. The importance of whakapapa both to te ao Māori through genealogy and to Playcentre through familial connections is explored, as it is a key factor in Māori parents’ decisions to join Playcentre. I will also discuss the importance of Māori resilience, and how my participants were able to turn feelings of whakamā into whakamana within the Playcentre context. Playcentre is a setting where Māori parents who have been disenfranchised are finding a space to reclaim their identity as Māori and build resilience; however, that relies on positive partnership. To be able to thrive in Playcentre, Māori parents need to be better supported, understood, and celebrated in that environment.

Collaborative Learning (CL) in the context of Project-based Learning (PjBL) can be interpreted as a learning method that allows students to share their knowledge and collaborate amongst themselves while providing crucial elements of learning such as scaffolding, social interactions, and experience. These elements are vital to students not only for their lives but also for their careers as the demand from industry for strong and reliable professionals with good communication skills is growing every day (Abood, 2019). The research aims to investigate how STEM students operate and behave in a PjBL environment and how their individual characteristics may have an impact on the outcome of the project, on social interactions among students, and on their perspectives of CL based on their experience. The research will use multiple theories to cover different aspects of the research, the social interactions, the use of technology, and students’ experiences of CL in a PjBL environment. Phenomenography, a methodology, focuses on the individual participants’ experience and their conceptions of a certain phenomenon. The experience of an individual towards a phenomenon may be completely different from another individual as the experiences may vary (Ornek, 2008). Gathering and categorising different experiences towards a certain phenomenon may produce a new dimension and add new knowledge to the area of CL. STEM students are more familiar with the ideas of CL than other students. However, according to Kokkelenberg and Sinha (2010), more STEM students drop out their classes or switch to non-STEM classes compared to other disciplines. Conducting this research will contribute to the knowledge areas of STEM students’ perceptions of CL, the impact of individual characteristics on social interactions and its impact on the outcome of the projects, and the impact of technology on CL in a PjBL environment.

Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) are proving to be a significant public health issue, with over 36,000 new cases each year in New Zealand. The majority (95%) of these cases are classified as mild (mTBI). Most patients recover within days to weeks after the injury. However, for some patients recovery is not achieved and they still experience symptoms months to years after their injury. One of the issues in determining why some individuals do not recover as quickly as others is that there is no comprehensive patient-reported measure of what it means to be recovered after mTBI. My research consists of three phases. In the first phase I interviewed 14 patients who had experienced at least one mTBI to determine what recovery means to them. Using thematic analysis, I identified three themes that were part of the recovery process: 1) an ability to function without limitations; 2) regaining a sense of self; and 3) symptom resolution. Most participants judged their recovery based on how they were feeling and felt there was a need to have a way of monitoring how they were doing over time. In the second phase I used the participants’ quotes and themes to create a questionnaire designed to measure recovery after mTBI. The initial set of 18 prototype items have been reviewed by five people with personal experience of mTBI and a panel of mTBI experts to refine the language used and ensure all major components of recovery are captured. In the third phase of my research, I will ask 200 people who have experienced a mTBI to complete the prototype questionnaire so we can establish its validity and reliability to determine its utility to be used as a tool in clinical practice to monitor people’s recovery. In this presentation I will summarise my results from the first and second studies and outline the plans for future research.
