Pakeha students and a pro-Treaty analysis: Teaching issues in a diploma of clinical psychology programme

We ran Treaty/biculturalism workshops for the Diploma on an ad hoc basis in 1990, 1991, and 1992. This year we have contracted for a fuller package which involves work with first and second years and staff. Next year this will continue with third year students. We believe biculturalism training for non-Maori has two major aspects and, although they overlap in various ways we think that it is useful to separate them: the first one is awareness of Maori cultural practices, values, etc, which can perhaps be called ‘cultural sensitivity training’. This needs to be under the control of Maori and have major input from Maori. The second aspect is where our focus is, and that is awareness of the effect on the Maori world of the loss of sovereignty by Maori; of their marginalisation over the last one hundred and fifty years by Pakeha; of their oppressed status; loss of economic base, and the implications for change that flow from those events. We believe that, at least initially, Pakeha have the responsibility for educating themselves and other pakeha in this area

Investing Strategies as Stochastic Oscillator Indicators Staying in Overreaction Zones for Consecutive Days with Big Data Concerns

Stock price overreaction seems always regarded as an essential issue in recent decades.Due to big data concerns, this study explores whether investors can make profits by trading the constituent stocks of DJ30, FTSE100, and SSE50 as stochastic oscillator indicator (SOI) staying in diverse overreaction zones including overbought and oversold, stricter overbought and oversold, and extreme overbought and oversold zones for consecutive days. Although we argue that the SOI staying in overreaction zones for consecutive days is often appeared in the real world, this issue, to our knowledge, seems unexplored in the existing literature. Results show that momentum strategies are appropriate for holding these stocks in the long run as the SOI staying in overbought zones, whereas contrarian strategies are proper for holding these stocks in the short run as the SOI staying in oversold zones. These revealed results may be beneficial for investors to trade these stocks as the SOI staying in overreaction zones for consecutive days.補正完

The profitability of Bollinger Bands: Evidence from the constituent stocks of Taiwan 50

[[abstract]]We employ the constituent stocks of Taiwan 50 as our sample and explore if investors can beat the market by trading them as trading signals emitted by Bollinger Bands (BBs). Results reveal that investors might beat the market by taking long positions on stocks as share prices hit the lower BBs, as significantly shown in the positive abnormal returns. In addition, investors might also take the long positions instead of short positions when share prices reach the upper BBs. Thus, investors should employ momentum strategies instead of contrarian strategies while hitting upper BBs.[[notice]]補正完

Trading stocks following sharp movements in the USDX, GBP/USD, and USD/CNY

[[abstract]]We observe that the sharp movement in exchange rates including USDX, GBP/USD, and USD/CNY might result in stock market fluctuation due to investors’ sentiments aroused. To our knowledge, we argue that the subsequent performance of trading stocks right after the sharp movement in exchange rates seems seldom explored in the relevant studies, which may contribute to the existing literature. By employing the constituent stocks of DJ 30, FTSE 100, and SSE 50 as our targets due to these markets regarded as representative stock markets in the world, we then reveal that the share prices are more volatile after diverse sharp movements in Chinese Yuan, even though Chinese Yuan is less volatile due to Chinese Yuan likely managed by the authority; whereas, share prices would rise no matter what sharp depreciation or sharp appreciation occurs in US Dollar and British Pound rather impressive for investors.[[notice]]補正完

A revision of the North American species of Pactopus Leconte and Trixagus Kugelann (Coleoptera: Throscidae)

This study was undertaken to find means of separating the morphologically similar species of North American Trixagus and to bring together information on Trixagus and Pactopus. A key to separate the world's eight genera of extant Throscidae is presented for the first time. A key to the five species of North American Trixagus, as well as illustrations and detailed descriptions of each species, are included to facilitate identification. In addition, detailed distribution records and range maps are provided for each species. No new taxa are proposed, but four species are retained in synonymy after examination of the type specimens. An investigation of external morphology found that color, size, punctation, and pubescence are too variable to be useful characters. Useful characters at the specific level are habitus, number of eye facets, pronoto-elytral ratio, and genitalia. Secondary sexual characteristics are shape of pronotum, size of eyes, and presence of a fringe of setae on the elytra of the males of some species. Sixteen additional structures were investigated. Six new morphological terms are proposed for structures peculiar to Throscidae. Trixagus Kugelann 1794 is adopted in preference to the more commonly used Throscus Latreille 17.96 because the latter is shown to be a junior objective synonym. Two dendrograms show the relationships between North American Trixagus, Aulonothroscus, and Pactopus and between the species of Trixagus and fossil Pactopus. Pactopus is considered more specialized than Trixagus or Aulonothroscus. Methods of collecting throscids that were found to be most effective were beating trees on warm evenings or by processing litter via a berlese funnel. It was found that throscids are capable of clicking in the manner of Elate ridge, despite numerous statements in the literature to the contrary
