Critiques the work of P. Moon in his book 'Māori transition to a literate society in the nineteenth century'. Looks at what the true state of literacy in Aotearoa in the 19th century was and whether ...we should assume the same for oral expression in the same period.

Identifies and elaborates on the various historical incidents or circumstances which have instigated what can be termed contemporary Māori society and culture, primarily beginning with the Hui ...Taumata of 1984. Considers the revival of te reo Māori and the growth of the Kohanga Reo movement, Māori inroads into communications media such as radio and television, the emergence of political and societal movements and organisations, legislative milestones and treaty settlements, intellectual repositioning, and the emergence of kaupapa Māori over the past 25 years.

Specific proteins have traditionally been analyzed using methodologies such as immunonephelometry on specialized analyzers. It is now possible to perform specific protein testing on clinical ...chemistry analyzers using immunoturbidimetry. Performance characteristics of turbidimetric assays for eight common specific proteins were evaluated against a nephelometric method.
The Abbott Architect ci8200 and the Beckman Immage were used to perform IgA, IgG, IgM, C3, C4, haptoglobin, and transferrin testing. Abbott, Sentinel and Roche reagents were used to perform CRP testing on the ci8200. The specific protein assays were evaluated for precision, linearity, limit of detection, functional sensitivity, method comparison, prozone, and workflow.
Total precision for the immunoturbidimetric assays was consistently better than 2% CV and linear throughout the dynamic range of the assays (recovery +/- 10% of target values). The limits of detection, functional sensitivities, and accuracy (as determined by performance against target values for proficiency testing samples and reference materials) are suitable for clinical purposes. Method comparison, as determined by correlation coefficients, and performance against proficiency testing samples, demonstrated good agreement between the turbidimetric and nephelometric tests. Both the turbidimetric and nephelometric assays provided reliable results under conditions of antigen excess. Specific protein test requests could be consolidated within our routine chemistry workload without impacting analytical test throughput.
As demonstrated by their performance characteristics, the Architect ci8200 immunoturbidimetric specific protein assays are suitable for routine use and correlate well with representative immunonephelometric assays on the Beckman Immage analyzer. The ability to perform specific protein analyses on an integrated clinical chemistry/immunoassay system can allow for consolidation of testing on a single platform, resulting in improved laboratory operations efficiency.
This project explores the histories of the Dutch Republic and the United States during the Age of Revolutions, using as a lens the life of Francis Adrian van der Kemp. Connections between the ...Netherlands and the United States have been understudied in histories of the Revolutionary Atlantic. Yet the nations' political and religious histories are entwined both thematically and practically. Van der Kemp's life makes it possible to examine republicanism and liberal religion anew, as they developed and changed during the era of Atlantic revolutions. The project draws on numerous archival collections that house van der Kemp's voluminous correspondence, political and religious writings, his autobiography, and the unpublished records of the Reformed Christian Church, now the Unitarian Church of Barneveld. With his activity in both countries, van der Kemp offers a unique perspective into the continued role of the Dutch in the development of the United States. The dissertation argues that the political divisions and incomplete religious freedom that frustrated van der Kemp in the Dutch Republic similarly manifested in America. Politically, the partisanship that became the hallmark of the early American republic echoed the experiences van der Kemp had during the Patriot Revolt. While parties would eventually stabilize radical politics, the collapse of the Dutch Republic in the Atlantic world and the divisiveness of American politics in those early decades, led van der Kemp to blunt his once radically democratic opinions. Heavily influenced by John Adams, he adopted a more conservative politics of balance that guaranteed religious and civil liberty regardless of governmental structure. In the realm of religion, van der Kemp discovered that American religious freedom reflected the same begrudging acceptance that constituted Dutch religious tolerance. Van der Kemp found that even in one of the most pluralistic states, New York, his belief in the unlimited liberty of conscience remained a dissenting opinion. The democracy and individualism celebrated in early American politics were controversial in religion, given the growing authority of denominations and hierarchical church institutions.

This Special Collection of essays, photographs and links is a consideration of Maori Contemporarydance. The examples chosen from this field are two performances of Koowhiti, a festival of ...contemporary Maori dance in Wellington in 2010 and 2011. Following the description of these events there are a series of essays on some of the contributors. These include Dance Biographies of the principals in Koowhiti Productions, a discussion of aerial dance, an article on dance education and a consideration of Maaui as portrayed in Maori contemporary dance. There is a brief introduction and some concluding comments but the seven articles in between stand as independent works.
