Using data from multiple waves of the Growing Up in New Zealand longitudinal cohort study, children's musical engagement was assessed across five activity domains: singing, listening to music, watching videos (including music), music activity participation, and attending music events. Engagement in each domain was categorised into four participation levels: None, Short-term, Repeated, and Sustained. Longitudinal patterns were assessed with Sankey plots, and ordinal regression was used to predict engagement levels from socioeconomic variables, including maternal education, household structure, household income, gender, ethnicity, disability status, area-level deprivation, and rurality. Our results show that engagement patterns shifted with age, with family singing decreasing and individualised music listening and video watching increasing over time. Gender, ethnicity, and socioeconomic variables were key predictors of sustained engagement across activity domains. Children's musical engagement trajectories varied widely and were influenced by both individual characteristics and modifiable contextual factors. These findings highlight the need to consider equity of access and cultural relevance when supporting musical participation across childhood in New Zealand.","PeriodicalId":520341,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Royal Society of New Zealand","volume":"56 1","pages":"e70017"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2026-02-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12965002/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147380289","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 design integrates the flexibility of a rectangular resonator with the high quality factor characteristics of circular cavities. By constructing SIW resonators with a hexagonal geometric configuration and combining a three-cell cascaded structure with cross-coupling theory, transmission zeros are introduced at the passband edges to regulate the electromagnetic field distribution. A duplexer is designed and fabricated for center frequencies of 6.8 and 7.9 GHz, with relative bandwidths of 3.5% and 7.5%, respectively. The measured results show that the isolation between passbands reaches -55 and -43 dB, the out-of-band rejection is better than -40 dB, and the measured results are in good agreement with the simulation results. This scheme combines the advantages of low radiation loss, high power-handling capability of SIW structures, and the integration advantages of planar technology, providing a new path for the design of high-performance duplexers in microwave and millimeter-wave frequency bands.","PeriodicalId":520341,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Royal Society of New Zealand","volume":"56 1","pages":"e70023"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2026-02-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12965003/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147380440","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}

Anecdotally, some adults can already write on a whiteboard using their nondominant hand. In this investigation, we examine three factors that differ between dominant writing on paper and nondominant writing on a whiteboard: orientation of the writing surface (horizontal or vertical), grip size (pen size or marker size), and handedness (dominant or nondominant). We asked 180 members of the public to write the same short phrase in all eight configurations and to rank their writing from clearest to least clear. We then manually assessed the 1440 samples for clarity. Our analysis shows that the significant factors affecting clarity are the hand used for writing and the orientation of the surface, while grip size does not affect clarity. We also find that although writing clearly with the nondominant hand on a vertical surface with a marker is not a universal trait, 14 of our 24 (58%) left-handed writers possess this skill, but no right-handed writers do.","PeriodicalId":520341,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Royal Society of New Zealand","volume":"56 1","pages":"e70000"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2026-02-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12965008/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147380489","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}

Institutional ethics are not set up in ways that take account of tikanga in relation to visual research with Māori. Using Te Rōpū Hiko, Harnessing the Spark of Life, as a case study, we unpack how we navigated MDS in ethics when engaging with photo data. A values-based framework grounded in kaupapa Māori principles (mātāpono) was developed to guide visual research through the first author's master's thesis, fostering critical dialogue and aligning with Māori aspirations. This framework encourages ethical integrity, participant autonomy, and cultural responsiveness in research with rangatahi Māori and their communities.

This study, based on a large-scale, nationally representative survey from Aotearoa New Zealand and scientific reports and literature, examines the similarities and differences in perceptions across ten environmental domains: air; protected natural areas; native bush and forests; marine environments; coastal waters and beaches; marine plants and animals; terrestrial (land and freshwater) plants and animals; natural environments in towns and cities; wetlands; and rivers and lakes. The New Zealand public rated their air quality highest and rivers and lakes lowest, aligning with empirical measures and expert opinions. For other domains, public perceptions varied, often seeing the overall state as better than what the scientific studies indicated. These discrepancies highlight the complex factors influencing perceptions, such as public awareness, visibility, familiarity with environmental issues, and media influence. By highlighting these similarities and differences, we aim to help laypeople, scientists, and policymakers recognise their perceptual biases, improve communication of scientific findings, and assist in creating regulations that involve the entire community in environmental improvement.","PeriodicalId":520341,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Royal Society of New Zealand","volume":"56 1","pages":"e70027"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2026-02-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12965024/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147380424","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}

This article describes nonspecific stress markers in the teeth of European (n = 30) and Southern Chinese (n = 15) adult migrants to New Zealand, and colony-born children (n = 10) interred in four historic Otago cemeteries (c. 1857-1904). Standard histological methods were used to identify and trace accentuated lines (ALs), indicators of enamel formation disruption. All Chinese adults, 93.3% of European adults, and 90% of New Zealand-born subadults exhibited AL formation. Chinese adults exhibited the highest mean occurrence of ALs per individual, and patterns of AL formation during early childhood differed in individuals of different ethnic and environmental backgrounds. This variation could be attributed to genetic variation in ameloblast susceptibility to stress, disparities in stability of the childhood environment, and/or sociocultural influences on growth and development. These data illustrate the embodiment of physiological stress during early life in poorer classes during the nineteenth century. While childhood hardship was a potential driver of adult decisions to depart for new lands such as New Zealand, it was not absent in the early lives of children born in the colony.","PeriodicalId":520341,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Royal Society of New Zealand","volume":"56 1","pages":"e70022"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2026-02-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12964994/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147380367","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}

Diagnosis is based on symptoms not biological causes. Here, we summarize New Zealand-based work developing EEG biomarkers and novel treatments. Working at the University of Otago, we have developed an anxiety disorder biomarker and shown its potential to detect anxiety resistant to conventional treatments. Others have started similar work on depression biomarkers. We have also found that ketamine is a novel treatment for treatment-resistant neurotic disorders in general and have provided a \"double hit\" hypothesis of the mechanisms involved. Muthukumaraswamy and coworkers at the University of Auckland and elsewhere have obtained similar results with ketamine, LSD, and psilocybin, and we, along with them, have demonstrated treatment-related effects on EEG. These linked developments, potentially supplemented with psychotherapy, should open the way to quicker acting, broad ranging, effective treatment of neurotic disorders. With the our recent more purely practical development of oral tablet delivery, which will allow home dosing, the future for the treatment of neurotic disorders looks bright.","PeriodicalId":520341,"journal":{"name":"Journal of the Royal Society of New Zealand","volume":"56 1","pages":"e70002"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2026-02-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12962333/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147380045","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}
