Transport affects the frequency of cancer via access to healthcare, employment and other goods and services of society; physical (in)activity; exposure to transport-related pollution and climate change. In addition, avoidable transport health impacts overload the health system that delivers cancer care. The current transport system in Aotearoa/New Zealand is the result of policy choices made in the last 50-70 years which have privileged the private motor vehicle. We discuss examples of local work to support a healthier transport system, including action research with government partners creating infrastructure to support healthy travel, health professional advocacy in transport policy processes and involvement in coronial processes and a subsequent government advisory group. These, and other attempts at change, have had limited impact because of the elements that hold the current system in place; the weak regulatory architecture and institutions, commercial influences on policy and funding arrangements. Creating a healthy, cancer-preventing transport system requires not just focus on specific policy changes but reform of the policy making apparatus to ensure healthy people and planet are at the centre of decision making.","PeriodicalId":520341,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Royal Society of New Zealand","volume":"55 5","pages":"1235-1251"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-11-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12288191/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144736529","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Aspects described include habitat modification, consequences of physical water column changes, and effects on benthic organisms, fish and fisheries, seabirds and marine mammals. Importantly, there is a need to adhere to Te Tiriti o Waitangi which defines Māori sovereign rights and expectations in terms of guardianship of resources (kaitiakitanga). Based on recent regulatory applications in marine spatial planning, where developments have been subject to the precautionary principle for environmental impacts, comprehensive environmental information will be critical for obtaining approval to proceed. The present synthesis identifies environmental pressure-points, footprints, and knowledge gaps, such as New Zealand-specific seabird and marine mammal behaviour and discusses potential opportunities to leverage the positive impacts of marine renewable energy developments.","PeriodicalId":520341,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Royal Society of New Zealand","volume":"55 4","pages":"912-945"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12054580/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144065468","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

From approximately 2000, these studies focused on the effects of vestibular lesions and stimulation, on spatial memory and the hippocampus. Our research has shown that, as well as the deficits in the vestibulo-ocular and vestibulo-spinal reflexes that occur following vestibular dysfunction, vestibular loss may also cause cognitive disorders, especially spatial memory deficits, some of which are related to the contribution of ascending vestibular pathways to the function of the limbic system and neocortex in regulating spatial orientation. In addition to behavioural demonstrations of spatial memory deficits, we have demonstrated that vestibular loss is associated with a variety of dysfunctional changes in the hippocampus, which may be responsible for the spatial memory deficits. These memory deficits are unlikely to be due to hearing loss, problems with motor control, oscillopsia or anxiety and depression. These animal studies have raised awareness of cognitive deficits associated with vestibular disorders and contributed to their recognition and treatment.","PeriodicalId":520341,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Royal Society of New Zealand","volume":"55 3","pages":"424-440"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-10-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11841157/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143485492","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, indications have expanded to include Single-Sided Deafness (SSD) because of the known benefits of binaural hearing and the limitations of unilateral hearing, especially for children developing linguistic and cognitive skills. This study aimed to provide a qualitative perspective of lived experiences of children with SSD who use a cochlear implant (CI), as perceived and reported by their parents. An online questionnaire was developed and distributed to evaluate outcomes of cochlear implantation in children with SSD residing in New Zealand and the United States. Qualitative content analysis of open-ended questions identified themes, including: (1) motivating factors; (2) benefits of amplification; (3) challenges associated with the CI journey; and (4) advice to parents. Parents described benefits and challenges as a result of cochlear implantation, such as access to sound and academic and psychosocial development, as well as subjective improvements in spatial hearing, reduced listening fatigue, enhanced academic performance, and changes in quality of life. The difference that bilateral hearing makes to a child's development is difficult to precisely define but parental insights offer valuable perspective to healthcare providers when considering what some consider an elective procedure.","PeriodicalId":520341,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Royal Society of New Zealand","volume":"55 3","pages":"530-546"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-10-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11841107/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143484915","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The review showed that poverty, religion, socioeconomic status, and stigma are important factors in the beliefs and actions surrounding parental involvement and manifestation of hearing loss among minority populations. Societal and family culture were significant determinants in how parental behaviours and practices developed. The role of family, and of women were pivotal in the perceptions of hearing loss and the hearing experiences of children. Parents reported that hearing care services were not family-centred and had limited social and parental support. Parental involvement operates as a risk or protective factor in the health of their children. The complexity of cultural understandings of hearing loss and strong cultural ideals surrounding Pacific children, parents and family means parental involvement provides an important perspective.

Embracing the opportunities and innovations of LLMs is inevitable. However, LLMs inherit stereotypes, misrepresentations, discrimination, and societies' biases from various sources-including training data, algorithm design, and user interactions-resulting in concerns about equality, diversity, and fairness. The bias problem has triggered increased research towards defining, detecting and quantifying bias and developing debiasing techniques. The predominant focus in tackling the bias problem is skewed towards resource-rich regions such as the US and Europe, resulting in a scarcity of research in other societies. As a small country with a unique history, culture and social composition, there is an opportunity for Aotearoa New Zealand's (NZ) research community to address this inadequacy. This paper presents an experimental evaluation of existing bias metrics and debiasing techniques in the NZ context. Research gaps derived from the study and a literature review are outlined, current and ongoing research in this space are discussed, and the suggested scope of research opportunities for NZ are presented.","PeriodicalId":520341,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Royal Society of New Zealand","volume":"55 2","pages":"372-395"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11639098/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142831707","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
