Abstract:

Osteoarthritis (OA) adalah penyakit sendi yang paling umum yang mengurangi kualitas hidup. Ini sering dikaitkan dengan gangguan mobilitas karena rasa sakit dan kelemahan otot, sehingga menjadi faktor risiko jatuh. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk membandingkan pengaruh latihan otago, latihan dasar, dan kombinasi keduanya terhadap perubahan kekuatan otot dan kemampuan fungsional berjalan pada pasien OA lutut. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian analitik komparatif dengan jumlah peserta 60 orang yang dibagi menjadi tiga perlakuan. Jumlah peserta dalam setiap perlakuan sebanyak 20 orang. ANOVA ulangan digunakan sebagai uji statistik dengan signifikansi p 0,05. Hasilnya, terdapat perbedaan yang signifikan antara ketiga kelompok perlakuan dalam hal perubahan kekuatan otot (p=0,003) dan kemampuan fungsional berjalan (p=0,036). Hasil post hoc menunjukkan bahwa kelompok latihan otago dan latihan dasar memiliki perbedaan kekuatan otot dan kemampuan fungsional berjalan yang signifikan dibandingkan kelompok latihan otago dan latihan dasar. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa kombinasi latihan otago dan latihan dasar lebih efektif daripada latihan otago atau latihan dasar hanya dalam meningkatkan kekuatan otot dan kemampuan fungsional berjalan.

Abstract:

Based upon external features of adults of the genus Zeanillus ten species are recognized, seven of which are new to science. Because of significant morphological differences, all species are arranged in four subgenera: the nominotypical subgenus Zeanillus, including Z. phyllobius (Broun), Z. punctigerus (Broun), and Z. nunni, new species (New Zealand, South Island, Otago, Trotters George); the monobasic subgenus Brounanillus, new subgenus, including Z. pallidus (Broun); the monobasic subgenus Nunnanillus, new subgenus, including Z. pellucidus, new species (New Zealand, South Island, Otago, Oamaru); and the most species-rich subgenus Otagonillus, new subgenus, including Z. brouni, new species (New Zealand, South Island, Otago, Oamaru), Z. lescheni, new species (New Zealand, South Island, Southland, Waikaia Forest), Z. carltoni, new species (New Zealand, South Island, Otago, Mount Watkin), Z. montivagus, new species (New Zealand, South Island, Otago, North Rough Ridge), and Z. nanus, new species (New Zealand, South Island, Otago, Waipori River Valley). Based on new morphological data, a redescription of genus, redescriptions of previously described species, and descriptions of all new taxa are given and a taxonomic key for all known species is provided. Maps of species distributions and illustrations of main taxonomic characters used in the text are also included. Some biogeographic/evolutionary aspects of Zeanillus origin and diversification are discussed.

Abstract:

Falls are a serious consequence of declining physical function. Otago exercise is a strength and balance training program designed to prevent falls and enhance health status among the elderly. This study aimed to investigate the effect of a 12-week Otago exercise intended to reduce the risk of falls and health status among the elderly with chronic illness in the social elderly institution. This quasi-experimental study employed a pre- and post-test design using a control group. The study involved an intervention group (21 respondents) and a control group (21 respondents). The sample used in this study were elderly living in a social elderly institution. The sample was selected using simple random sampling. The data were analyzed using Mann–Whitney test, independent t-test, and Chi-square test. Otago exercise significantly reduced the respondents’ risk of falling and enhanced their health status. Significant differences were observed between the two groups in terms of the risk of fall (p= 0.041) and health status (p= 0.011). Otago exercise significantly improves the health status and reduces the risk of falling among elderly with chronic illness. The exercise can be recommended for older adults with chronic illness in social elderly institutions and communities.

Abstract:

Abstract This study describes the feasibility and patient satisfaction for an integrated treatment to address multiple health outcomes in a sample of older adults living in a low-income independent residence facility and their own homes in the community. Specifically, 30 older adults were offered the opportunity to participate in a feasibility study of different components of Activate for Life treatment targeting balance and physical strength (Otago Exercise Program), breathing retraining (Gentle Yoga and Yogic Breathing), and mental health (Behavioral Activation for Depression). Three treatment combinations were compared in a randomized repeated measures design to determine if adding components to the existing Otago program were feasible and if this affected patient satisfaction. Arm1: the Otago strength and balance program alone (n = 10); Arm 2: Otago + Gentle Yoga and Yogic Breathing (n = 10); and Arm 3: Otago + Gentle Yoga and Yogic Breathing + Behavioral Activation (we named this combination ‘Activate for Life’ n = 10). Dependent measures included recruitment rate, session completion characteristics, and satisfaction with the program. Overall, study and treatment components proved feasible, and participants reported high satisfaction with all 3 Arms.

Abstract:

Female New Zealand sea lions ( Phocarctos hookeri (Gray, 1844)) at the Auckland Islands (remnant populations) are the deepest and longest diving otariids. These remnant populations are found at the margin of the historical range of the species. We hypothesized that diving behaviours of animals in the core of their historical range is less extreme owing to a better marine habitat. All female New Zealand sea lions (n = 13, aged 2–14 years) born on the Otago Peninsula (initial recolonising population) were equipped with time–depth recorders during April and May 2008, 2009, and 2010. The mean dive depth was 20.2 ± 24.5 m and mean dive duration was 1.8 ± 1.1 min, some of the lowest values reported for otariids. Otago female New Zealand sea lions did not exhibit two distinct diving specialisations as reported at the Auckland Islands. Otago adult females exceeded calculated aerobic dive limits in 7.1% of dives compared with 68.7% at the Auckland Islands. The contrasting differences in diving behaviour between Otago and the Auckland Islands suggest that Otago represents a better marine habitat for New Zealand sea lions, with food easily accessible to animals of all ages.

Abstract:

Background of the study: Bharatanatyam is an Indian Classical Dance which involves rhythmic dance movements. There are various postures in the dance form in which dancers need optimum muscle strength and adequate range of motion at required joints. Dancers need good body balance to maintain the postures. The main purpose of the study is to compare the effectiveness between Otago exercise and Modified Otago exercise on dynamic balance among Bharatanatyam Dancers. Methodology: This is an experimental study of Pre and Post comparative type. 20 Female Bharatanatyam Dancers were randomly selected for the study. The study setting was in Nritham; the School of Dance. Study duration is about 6 sessions in a week for 8 weeks. The inclusion criteria include only Female Bharatanatyam Dancers within the age group of 18–25 years. The recruited subjects were allocated into two groups, Group A received Otago exercise program and Group B received Modified Otago exercise program. The exercise program was given for 30 minutes per day for 8 weeks, before and at the end of the treatment session Star Excursion Balance test was assessed as outcome measure. Result: On comparing the mean values of Group A & Group B on Star Excursion Balance Test score for dynamic balance, it shows a significant increase in the post test mean values in both groups in all directions, but Group B was more effective than Group A at P ≤ 0.001. Conclusion: On comparing the effects between the groups showed Modified Otago Exercise Group B is more effective than Group A Otago Exercise.

Abstract:

Background: This study assessed the impact of Otago exercises on frailty and empowerment in older nursing home residents.Methods: This randomized controlled trial included 72 individuals aged over 65 years residing in a single nursing home in Izmir, Turkey. The participants were randomly assigned to the Otago exercise group (OEG) or control group (CG). The OEG performed Otago exercises for 45 minutes, 3 days per week for 12 weeks plus a walking program the 3 other days of the week. In addition to Otago exercise training, the OEG received training based on empowerment consisting of 10 sessions lasting 30 minutes each. The CG received no intervention except routine care in the nursing home. The data collected were sociodemographic characteristics, Edmonton Frail Scale (EFS) scores, and Elderly Empowerment Scale (EES) scores before and 3 months after the intervention.Results: We observed significant differences between the mean EFS (p=0.0001) and mean EES (p=0.0001) before and 3 months after the intervention in the OEG compared to the CG. We also observed a significant difference between the OEG and CG in mean EFS (p=0.018) and EES (p=0.0001) 3 months after the intervention.Conclusion: The results of the present study demonstrated the positive impact of the Otago exercise program on preventing/delaying frailty and enhancing empowerment in older people.

Abstract:

The OTAGO exercise program is effective in decreasing the risk for falls of older adults. This research investigated if there is an indication that the OTAGO exercise program has a positive effect on the capacity and as well as on the performance in mobility. We used the data of the 10-months observational OTAGO pilot study with 15 (m = 1, f = 14) (pre-)frail participants aged 84.60 y (SD: 5.57 y). Motion sensors were installed in the flats of the participants and used to monitor their activity as a surrogate variable for performance. We derived a weighted directed multigraph from the physical sensor network, subtracted the weights of one day from a baseline, and used the difference in percent to quantify the change in performance. Least squares was used to compute the overall progress of the intervention (n = 9) and the control group (n = 6). In accordance with previous studies, we found indication for a positive effect of the OTAGO program on the capacity in both groups. Moreover, we found indication that the OTAGO program reduces the decline in performance of older adults in daily living. However, it is too early to conclude causalities from our findings because the data was collected during a pilot study.

Abstract:

Apple leafcurling midge is an important quarantine pest for New Zealand apple exports. Season-long pheromone trapping was conducted in Hawke’s Bay and Nelson from 2004—2017, and from 2012—2017 in Central Otago. Four generations occurred annually in Hawke’s Bay and Nelson and 3—4 in Central Otago. In Hawke’s Bay and Nelson, the timing of each peak varied by about 3—4 weeks between years, while the difference was ~2—3 weeks in Central Otago during fewer years of monitoring. Hawke’s Bay was up to a month earlier than Central Otago for the same peak within individual years. The major factor behind this variability was the accumulated number of growing degree-days. Insecticide sprays target midge larvae, but are timed against the second and third peaks of adult emergence. Variations in the timing of these peaks annually and across the main pipfruit growing regions, mean that specific insecticide timing recommendations are necessary each year for each region.

Full text

Abstract:

Smart growth is widely adopted by urban planners as an innovative approach, which can guide a city to develop into an environmentally friendly modern city. Therefore, determining the degree of smart growth is quite significant. In this paper, sustainable degree (SD) is proposed to evaluate the level of urban smart growth, which is established by principal component regression (PCR) and the radial basis function (RBF) neural network. In the case study of Yumen and Otago, the SD values of Yumen and Otago are 0.04482 and 0.04591, respectively, and both plans are moderately successful. Yumen should give more attention to environmental development while Otago should concentrate on economic development. In order to make a reliable future plan, a self-organizing map (SOM) is conducted to classify all indicators and the RBF neural network-trained indicators are separate under different classifications to output new plans. Finally, the reliability of the plan is confirmed by cellular automata (CA). Through simulation of the trend of urban development, it is found that the development speed of Yumen and Otago would increase slowly in the long term. This paper provides a powerful reference for cities pursuing smart growth.

Full text

Abstract:

There is a need to develop appropriate monitoring methods for cryptic reptile species, such as the endangered New Zealand endemic Otago skink (Oligosoma otagense), that take into account incomplete detectability. A recently developed analytical technique was applied to presence–absence data for Otago skinks to derive robust estimates of both detection probability and site occupancy. The estimated detection probability for Otago skinks was 0.4 (s.e. 0.052), and the estimate of the proportion of the study area occupied by Otago skinks was 0.71 (s.e. 0.11). The data derived from presence–absence surveys in consistently sunny weather, with a standardised scanning and searching technique, provided a good basis for robust estimates of detection probability and of the percentage of area occupied by skinks. This survey technique could be applied to other similarly cryptic reptile species to derive rigorous estimates of site occupancy in order to track changes over time or in response to management interventions. It will be particularly appropriate where precise estimation of absolute abundance is not warranted, or where a simple index of relative abundance may be invalid due to failure of the implicit assumption of constant detectability.

Full text

Abstract:

The primary objective of the population management plan for New Zealand sea lions, Phocarctos hookeri, is to move the species from its current conservation status of ‘Threatened’ to ‘Non-threatened’. The mechanism by which this will occur is through the establishment of new breeding colonies away from the only existing colonies at Auckland Islands and Campbell Island. Otago, on the southeast coast of the South Island of New Zealand, is one of only three locations where breeding has been recorded away from these islands in modern times. We found only one female at the initiation of our surveys here in 1991, an individual that had been tagged as a pup at Auckland Islands. This female has remained resident at Otago and is now breeding. Her first live birth, in the 1993/94 breeding season, represented the first record of a P. hookeri pup on the New Zealand mainland since the elimination of the species here by humans c. 150 years ago. Up to and including the 2000/01 breeding season she had produced six pups. Her surviving pups have remained at Otago and her eldest two daughters have started breeding, producing a further three pups. From this total of nine live births, two pups have died. Although 6 - 8 other migrant females have been recorded, to our knowledge none have bred at Otago. We conclude that the initiation of breeding by P. hookeri at Otago has been a serendipitous event attributable to atypical behaviour by a single female.

Abstract:

The relative importance of parental diet/population and larval diet were examined on egg, growth, morphology and biochemistry of Sclerasterias mollis larvae. Adult S. mollis were fed one cockle (Austrovenus stutchburyi) per two animals each week, as a low diet, or two cockles per animal each week, as a high diet. The experiment was run for one year. In addition, two field populations (Otago inshore and offshore) with dissimilar nutritional status (based on the gonad index) were selected. Otago inshore starfish had higher gonad indices and assumed to have better nutritional status. The low and high diet laboratory starfish produced eggs with similar characteristics. Eggs from the low diet laboratory parents had the highest carbohydrate concentration. The eggs from the field parents had higher fertilization rate and lower carbohydrate concentration than eggs from the laboratory parents. The Otago inshore starfish had smaller eggs with a lower carbohydrate concentration than the starfish from Otago offshore. Parents from the laboratory or the field had significant effects on larval growth, morphological phenotypic plasticity (measured by the body length relative to the body width) and development rate. Larvae from Otago offshore parents had highest growth and morphological phenotypic plasticity. Larvae from the low diet laboratory parents and those from Otago inshore had the highest development rate. Larvae from low diet laboratory parents had the highest carbohydrate concentration. Neither the parents nor the larval diet had a significant effect on larval mortality. A higher concentration planktonic diet resulted in higher growth, morphological phenotypic plasticity and development rate. Parents were however more important than larval diet on growth and phenotypic plasticity of the larvae. This study showed that parental nutrition has an important effect on growth, morphological phenotypic plasticity and body composition of S. mollis larvae. The nutritional status of the parents does not influence the larvae through a change in the egg size, protein, lipid, carbohydrate and energy content.

Founder populations are susceptible to reduced genetic diversity, which can hinder successful population establishment. A new genetic lineage of the New Zealand sea lion (Phocarctos hookeri) has recently colonised the historical range of the New Zealand mainland (Otago Peninsula). Despite a small founding population, previous research indicated that nuclear genetic diversity in the Otago Peninsula population is similar to that of the larger source population (Sandy Bay, Auckland Islands). Our research aimed to identify whether mechanisms of female mate choice could help to explain the unexpectedly high level of genetic diversity in the founder population. We used genetic data at 12 microsatellite loci for mother–pup pairs from both populations, and the software COLONY to identify putative paternal genotypes inferred from allele sharing between known mother–pup pairs. We found that mating pairs were, on average, more related at the Otago Peninsula location. However, Sandy Bay females were mating with males more related to themselves than expected by chance, while the Otago Peninsula females were not. These findings suggest that female choice in this otariid species appears important, although may be constrained in some situations. Our findings also help to explain how the recently founded population is able to maintain a viable, growing population.

Abstract:

The aging process is one of the life cycles experienced by every human being. However, it is a process of slowly diminishing the ability of body tissues to maintain normal structure and function. Increasing one's age has an effect on decreasing balance function. Otago Exercise and Gaze Stability Exercise to improve balance in the elderly. This research is a quantitative study with a quasi-experimental approach with a research design using pre-test and post-test. Determination of the number using purposive sampling method and obtained a sample of 14 people. Data collection was carried out by direct interviews using observation sheets. The independent variable in this study was the Otago Exercise and Gaze Stability Exercise, while the dependent variable was balance. Balance assessment using TUG> 12 seconds experienced a balance of 14 people. Statistical test using wilcoxon signed ranked test with α = 0.05. The results of the analysis show that there is a significant effect between giving Otago Exercise and Gaze Stability Exercise on the balance of the elderly, with a p value (0.001≤0.005). The conclusion of this study is that there is an effect between the provision of Otago Exercise and Gaze Stability Exercise on the balance of the elderly. The advice that can be given is that it is hoped that the patient should always do exercises to maintain body balance.

Abstract:

Clover root weevil was first discovered in the northern South Island in 2006, and an introduced biocontrol agent the parasitoid wasp Microctonus aethiopoides, was immediately released there in response. As the weevil spread southwards, ongoing releases and natural parasitoid dispersal generally supressed it to economically tolerable levels. However, mild winters in the southern South Island during 2013 and 2014 allowed weevil populations to grow and spread quicker than the parasitoid. This severely impacted white clover production and farm profitability in parts of South Canterbury, Otago and Southland, thus, scientists and industry conducted 18 months of intensive parasitoid releases of ca. 1.1 million parasitised weevils at 6000 sites. The parasitoid rapidly established at all 50 monitored release sites and dispersed from them. The biocontrol agent now occurs at all locations in South Canterbury, Otago, Southland, and elsewhere in New Zealand, where clover root weevil is present.

Abstract:

This study examined incubation period, lesion length and conidial release in Neonectria ditissima (European canker) in four New Zealand regions in relation to climatic factors. Incubation period was studied on potted ‘Royal Gala’ trees inoculated with N. ditissima. One week after inoculation, symptomless trees were dispatched to Waikato, Hawke’s Bay, Tasman, Otago and positive controls remained in a glasshouse. Conidial release was studied in trees with lesions that were dispatched to the same regions. Rain traps were placed under each lesion and conidia quantified after each rain event. Disease progress and conidial production were examined in relation to weather. Lesions developed significantly slower in Otago and faster in Waikato and the glasshouse, compared with Tasman and Hawke’s Bay. Symptom development accelerated with increasing daily hours of 11–16°C and humidity (74.6–87.2% RH). The highest conidium counts occurred in Waikato and the lowest in Otago, while conidial production started earlier in Tasman than elsewhere. Temperature is the main driver for symptom development during the incubation period and rainfall is not required. Rainfall frequency drives conidial production.

Abstract:

AbstractDuring the nineteenth-century gold rush era, Chinese gold miners arrived spontaneously in California and, later, were invited in to work the Otago goldfields in New Zealand. This article considers how the initial arrival of Chinese in those areas was represented in two major newspapers of the time, the Daily Alta California and the Otago Witness. Both newspapers initially favored Chinese immigration, due to the economic benefits that accrued and the generally tolerant outlook of the newspapers' editors. The structure of the papers' coverage differed, however, reflecting the differing historical circumstances of California and Otago. Both papers gave little space to reporting Chinese in their own voices. The newspapers editors played the crucial role in shaping each newspaper's coverage over time. The editor of the Witness remained at the helm of his newspaper throughout the survey period and his newspaper consequently did not waver in its support of the Chinese. The editor of the Alta, by contrast, died toward the end of the survey period and his newspaper subsequently descended into racist, anti-Chinese rhetoric.

Abstract:

The high level of dissatisfaction from an employability perspective and decreasing employment rate of international students in New Zealand is an increasing concern for higher education providers and their students. Education New Zealand research in 2019 and Otago Polytechnic Auckland International Campus Graduate Outcome report 2019 support these findings. It highlights a need for a strategy to develop and enhance international student employability skills. The purpose of this study was to investigate the connection between the graduates’ employability and their participation in extracurricular activities (ECAs) and the outcomes from their involvement. This study explored the views of Otago Polytechnic Auckland International Campus alumni who graduated in 2019 from various undergraduate and postgraduate programmes. Using descriptive and thematic analysis, this study analysed the impact of extracurricular activities on Otago Polytechnic Auckland International Campus graduates’ employability. Convenience sampling was used for data collection. A total of 112 participants completed an online survey, and 7 participants undertook semi-structured interviews. The data collected from the survey identified the level of engagement in different extracurricular activities, the motivations to participate, the barriers to participation, the development of soft skills from graduates’ perspective, and employment rates. Using the descriptive analysis, data was compared and correlated. The data collected from interviews provided an in-depth understanding of how international students perceive the benefits of engagement in extracurricular activities and shared their outcomes. Recommendations were provided for future and current international students and to Otago Polytechnic Auckland International Campus as a facilitator of employability skills development based on the findings.

Abstract:

The Central Otago region, with its cold winters and hot summers, and valley floors with uplift mountains is definitely "a world of difference". At the NZGA conference in Alexandra in 1966 John Hercus stated "Central Otago has a lure which sets it apart from the rest of New Zealand. Its characteristics of geology, topography and climate, its history of occupation and exploitation, its scenery at once forbidding and yet strangely fascinating - these features combine to cast a spell which few who have been exposed, can ever fully escape" (Hercus 1966). The region and its high country have an iconic status epitomised by the "Southern Man" stereotype. This places Central Otago deep in the psyche of the nation. With this goes a unique and significant set of conditions under which farming must take place. Not only does the region have the biophysical challenges of soils, water and climate to contend with, but a wider set of values, often imposed from elsewhere. Fifty years after that first conference we remain challenged. What are the opportunities in front of us and how should we best accommodate the challenge of maintaining a viable enterprise and at the same time, respecting the intense public and customer interest in our use of land and livestock? Central Otago and the associated high country of the Lakes district and McKenzie basin can be divided into three farming types. These are the valley floor irrigable type, the flat and downland dryland regions, and the high country. Each of these has challenges that are at times unique, but often overlap with problems faced in other regions.
