Nz's research while affiliated with Victoria University of Wellington and other places

... And this is the third problem. When relying on our intuitive judgments, particularly in an underspecified and out-of-the-ordinary environment, we are likely to process irrelevant factors due to unconscious bias, as [54], [63], [38], [60], and [40] have pointed out. There is evidence that many people's anti-hedonist intuitions about Nozick's experience machine arise from status quo bias, for instance. ...

... There have been some studies which criticise the effectiveness of PBRF and its impact on teaching and research at universities (for example (Morris Matthews & Hall, 2006)) but the PBRF ratings provide a benchmark with which to compare bibliometric or cybermetric measures. In a previous study, PBRF rankings were compared with inter-university links obtained by a specialised crawler (Smith & Thelwall, 2005). This study found a moderate correlation between link counts per FTE staff member and the PBRF quality score, reinforcing the idea that a cybermetric study could produce a measure similar to an established research evaluation measure. ...

... It therefore argues that sanctions targeted at the formal economy with minimal impact on the vast majority of Myanmar's people. Oehlers (2004) argues that these structural and institutional characteristics of the Burmese economy make sanctions an effective device against the military regime, without causing harm to the poor: ...

... Vena and colleagues (2011) extended that study for the Buffalo police cohort through 2005, and found that mortality from brain cancer, Hodgkin's lymphoma, and leukemia were significantly higher than expected., 2007) and transmit nonionizing electromagnetic frequency. There is some evidence that emissions from radar may increase testicular cancer (van Netten et al., 2003; Davis & Mostofi, 1993; Lotz et al., 1995), melanoma (Findelstein et al., 1998; Lotz et al., 1995; van Netten et al., 2003), brain cancer (Cherry, 2001; Lotz et al., 1995 ), lymphatic & hematopoietic system cancer (Szmigielski, 1996), and leukemia (Van Netten et al., 2003; Groves et al., 2002). ...

... Sections 1, 2, 3, 5 and 6 address a range of perspectives on tertiary teaching that would be familiar to most educational/academic developers, and some teachers, working in tertiary education contexts. The literature of the section 4, relating to workplace learning and community of practice, has been less widely discussed in relation to tertiary education, but emerged as a major interest in my PhD study (Viskovic, 2005a). Much of the literature that is discussed in this survey comes from overseas, particularly from the United Kingdom (UK) and Australia, with some from North America. ...

... 64 As Gal (2001) points out, the level of the US thresholds are simply not appropriate for small economies as they would create barriers to efficient mergers in those economies. That operative rules of thumb have been entirely different in New Zealand and the USA is pointed out in Arnold et al (2003), and an example relating to the electricity industry is given in Evans (1999). Indeed, accepting the thesis of this paper that small isolated economies are different from large economies in their absence of economies of scale and necessarily more concentrated markets implies that, at a minimum, implementation of competition law would differ across countries. ...

... Despite recent advances in the assessment of pain in farm animals (Guatteo et al., 2012;Prunier et al., 2013), the application of appropriate pain relief is thought to be low (Flecknell, 2008). Possible reasons for this mismatch include cost, farming culture or tradition, practicality, the availability of and training in the use of analgesic drugs, and restrictions on the use of such compounds in food producing animals (Mellor et al., 2008). Previous studies examining attitudes towards pain and its mitigation in farm animals have found that, in general, females and more recent veterinary graduates gave higher scores when asked to quantify painful conditions (Raekallio et al., 2003;Huxley and Whay, 2006;Laven et al., 2009;Thomsen et al., 2010). ...

... Another part of the literature addresses several means of communication. The representations of accountants have been variously studied through recruitment material ( Jeacle, 2008), humorous material (Bougen, 1994;Miley and Read, 2012;Jones and Stanton, 2013), popular music ( Smith and Jacobs, 2011;Jacobs and Evans, 2012), press material 660 AAAJ 32,2 (Cobbs, 1976;Ewing et al., 2001;Friedman and Lyne, 2001;Hoffjan, 2004;Baldvinsdottir et al., 2009;France, 2010), books on financial scandals (Carnegie andNapier, 2010, 2013) and through works of fiction. The latter category literature includes studies based on the cinema (Beard, 1994;Holt, 1994;Smith and Briggs, 1999;Kyriacou, 2004;Dimnik and Felton, 2006;Felton et al., 2008;Magon and France, 2012) and popular literature (Robert, 1957;Stacey, 1958;Boys, 1994;Walker, 1995;West, 2001;Evans and Fraser, 2012;Smith, 2017). ...

... Lindner and Wald (2011) found in their empirical study that knowledge culture, management commitment, systematic processes, institutionalization, evaluation and controlling of KM, ICT support are the most effective factors that influence the KM success and effectiveness. In the healthcare sector, Ali et al. (2009) proposed a new conceptual research model for KM implementation success. Knowledge sharing and retrieving within organizations are found to be significantly influenced by perceived usefulness of KM systems, user satisfaction, security, subjective norm, culture, knowledge content quality, KM systems quality, leadership, and incentives. ...

... While local barriers and facilitators to ICT adoption IHTP, 1(2), 139-160, 2021 CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 are identified in the literature (Collin & Karsenti, 2012;Felton, 2015), additional influences include digital infrastructure in countries of origin and norms and expectations around technology use. Also, this review points to the ability to connect with leftbehind communities as a strong motivator for adopting digital technologies and can encourage digital learning; this finding is mirrored in other studies (Kabbar & Crump, 2006;Millard et al., 2018). ...
