- ItemRecalibrating ‘Heroes and Villains’: Ancient Greek Literature through the Camera Lens(Ergon Verlag, 2023) Bakogianni A; Lindner M; Steffensen NAudiences’ expectations of how a hero should behave are shaped by how they measure up against characters coded as villainous. This chapter examines the interdependence of these two concepts with reference to two screen case studies with direct and indirect connections to the Trojan War as an archetype for all wars. Juxtaposing William Scofield, the accidental hero of the World War One movie 1917 (DreamWorks Pictures, 2019) with the villainous Ajax in Troy: Fall of a City (BBC/Netflix, 2018) allows us to reflect on how radically the labels of hero and villain have been recalibrated in the second decade of the new millennium. What has, however, not changed, is the ongoing role that ancient Greek literature, characters, and themes play in such conversations in our popular culture.

- ItemTelehealth at Home: Co-Designing a Smart Home Telehealth System(IOP Press BV, 2021-04-19) Hunter I; Elers P; Lockhart C; Guesgen H; Whiddett D; Singh A; Maeder AJ; Higa C; van den Berg MEL; Gough CIncreasing life expectancy and rates of chronic conditions place increasing demands on aged care health and support services. One response preferred by older adults and seen as cost effective is aging in place, whereby older people remain in their own homes and avoid aged residential care. For this to take place, it is crucial that older people maintain effective relationships with support networks and that older adults and these networks have adequate information to support patient centred health and wellness care at home. This study explored how smart home telehealth, a form of telehealth where health care is provided at a distance using smart home digital technology (sensors), could assist older people to age in place and enhance their health and wellbeing. It was a two-phase project, preceded by a workshop with experts:1) 41 interviews with older adults and their informal support networks, seven focus groups with 44 health providers working with older adults, which informed 2) a pilot implementation of a co-designed telehealth system, addressing key barriers identified in Phase 1. The system used low cost, easily accessible, and commercially available sensors, transferring information via email and/or text messaging. It was successfully piloted with five older adults and twelve of their respective support networks for six months, who reported an increased feeling of security and improved interpersonal communication. The findings indicate that smart home telehealth could assist aging in place, and the study provides insights into successful co-design of smart home telehealth services at scale that could be implemented and deployed in contexts wider than aged care.

- ItemMapping Settler Gothic: Noir and the Shameful Histories of the Pākehā Middle Class in The Bad Seed.(Amsterdam University Press, 2022-09-12) Lawn J; Gildersleeve J; Cantrell KThis chapter addresses the ways in which the New Zealand television series The Bad Seed (2019) narrates intersections between settler-colonial identity and social class. It makes the case that The Bad Seed sits within a line of storytelling in New Zealand settler Gothic which serves to secure innocence by presenting the relatively privileged Pākehā family as ‘middling’, vulnerable and at risk. The chapter progresses through an analysis of traumatogenic spaces, culminating at the isolated farmstead locale that is so generative to the settler Gothic imaginary. Ultimately, The Bad Seed employs mixed and hybrid genres to tell a story of Pākehā middle-class self-exculpation.
- ItemMeasurement and reporting of heritage assets - Insights from practice in New Zealand(Emerald Publishing, 2022-06-22) Botica Redmayne N; Laswad F; Ehalaiye D; Caruana, J; Bisogno, M; Sicilia, MAccounting for heritage assets has evolved, but continuing diversity in reporting practices remains problematic. Traditional cash-based budgets, which are still common in governmental accounting in some countries, ignore heritage assets as they are non-realisable and often do not generate revenue, yet they incur cash outflows to preserve them. The adoption of accrual accounting for recording heritage assets raises technical issues of recognition and measurement of such assets, both in the balance sheet and in income statements. This chapter examines the financial reporting environment for heritage assets in New Zealand. The chapter provides evidence on the reporting practices of heritage assets by five of New Zealand’s significant museums during the period 2011 to 2020, under IAS 16 and IPSAS 17 requirements. We analyse disclosures on heritage assets in the financial reports of these museums, including accounting policies, valuation and measurement, income statement impact, and related notes. The findings suggest that, despite the existence of the IFRS (IAS 16) and IPSAS (IPSAS 17) reporting standards during this period, a variety of reporting practices exist among New Zealand museums, as heritage assets are recognised either at fair value or historical cost on the balance sheet or not recognised in the financial statements at all. These findings suggest substantial non-uniformity in the actual measurement and reporting of heritage assets and are of interest to policy makers and regulators, particularly in countries that are currently considering adoption of IPSAS.
