Safe Sleep Calculator developed for vulnerable babies
BODY:
Dr Christine McIntosh is a South Auckland GP and University of Auckland researcher who has been working on developing a Safe Sleep Calculator, a tool which measures the complex risk factors associated with SUDI and provides a risk profile to families based on this data. The project is funded by Cure Kids.
EXTENDED BODY:
A calculator has been developed to predict the chances of a baby dying in its sleep and to bring down the number of infants passing away suddenly.
Every year about 50 New Zealand families lose a child to Sudden Unexpected Deaths in Infancy (SUDI). Christine McIntosh, a South Auckland GP and University of Auckland researcher, has helped create the Safe Sleep Calculator - a tool to help prevent infant deaths.
Dr McIntosh told Nine to Noon the calculator measured the complex risk factors associated with SUDI - including bed sharing, premature birth, low birth weight, sleep position and maternal smoking - and provided a risk profile to parents based on this data.
She said "vulnerable babies" had a combination of these risk factors as well as an unsafe sleep situation that could lead to a lethal situation.
The Safe Sleep Calculator helped GPs or practice nurses ask the right questions to find out a child's risk level so they could let the family know what changes had to be made to keep the baby safe.
The calculator could also determine the likelihood these risk factors could lead to an infant dying, Dr McIntosh said.
"You know there's not many conditions that we deal with in general practice where the person in front of you has a risk of dying in the next year of one in 100, or one in 50, and when it is a baby that is even more confronting.
"It's about the person in front of that family being able to interpret the information and give the family some really useful sort of things they can do to keep the baby safe, which will often be about making sure the baby sleeps in its own baby bed, for every sleep, on its back."
She said New Zealand had led the way in research on SUDI in the late 1980s and early 90s, with a 60 percent dropoff in the general population of deaths attributable to SUDI. However, the rates for Maori and Pacific Island children had not fallen correspondingly.
"What we saw... is that just simply changing the babies position and saying that babies should sleep on their backs made a huge difference to the rates of SUDI at that time.
"What we have recently seen in the last five years is actually we are getting another further drop, and that has really been about making sure that babies are sleeping safely," Dr McIntosh said.
Of the approximately 50 deaths from SUDI per year, about six were attributable to factors the Safe Sleep Calculator could not measure - such as heart conditions. However, the remainder had factors that the calculator could measure, and hopefully help to prevent.
Testing on the calculator would continue for the six months with regional and national rollout sometime after that.

Feral cats targeted through their grooming habits
BODY:
John Read is an Australian ecologist who has come up with novel way of targeting feral cats... by using their grooming instincts against them. John Read has invented a robotic grooming trap which, when it detects an animal the size of a cat passing by, sprays it with a poisonous gel, which the cat ingests, when it licks itself grooming. He's currently trialing the traps in two locations - in Queensland to help save night parrots and Western Australia where there endangered marsupials.

Photographer Jamey Stillings changing perspectives on energy
BODY:
Jamey Stillings is a US documentary and commercial photographer whose fine art work is increasingly focussed on the intersections of nature and human activity, often large-scale renewable energy projects which he photographs from the air.
EXTENDED BODY:
Photographer Jamey Stillings has found a passion in capturing the intersections of nature and human activity.
Big energy projects - a bridge under construction at the Hoover Dam, the Ivanpah solar panel plant in the Mojave Desert and the Crescent Dunes molten salt energy plant in Nevada - are some of the key subjects of a project he’s dubbed Changing Perspectives.
Commercial work still pays his bills, but documenting renewable energy infrastructure, often by air, has become what drives him.
“Every spare moment that I have I am working on this project,” he tells Nine To Noon.
Stillings has largely been documenting renewable energy in the United States, but hopes to take the project international.
He’s looking for subjects that show the advancement of technology, bring into question land and resource use, and might involve cultural disruption.
“It won’t be very long until images like this give us a historical perspective on what we were or were not able to do, and what we were or were not willing to do, in this regard.”

Teaching children how to behave in a social group
BODY:
Education consultant and parenting commentator Joseph Driessen discusses how parents can coach children in the art of functioning in a social group, and what to do when the 'social contract' is broken.
EXTENDED BODY:
For children learning the rules, rights and responsibilities of being part of a group is an essential part of their development.
But how do they learn this? And what should parents do if a child breaks the "social contract".
Education consultant and parenting commentator, Joseph Driessen discusses this with Kathryn Ryan.
Read an edited snapshot of their conversation
KR: Do some kids just naturally sort this themselves?
JD: I think many children just absorb this and the family help to absorb this. I think other children are quite unaware. They’re not much self-centred, they’re overwhelmed by their own needs and emotions and they just charge on without realising what they’re doing. They need to be sat down and talked to about how [they] are affecting others and what are the rules of a group.
KR: At what ages does this typically start to happen?
JD: Two-years-old. The two-year-old is a wonderful stage because at two years old a new programme emerges in their brain which is to say ‘no’ and to assert their own independence and autonomy – a vital skill for an adult to have.
KR: For children at a very young age how does the conceptual understanding develop? What’s going on in their development understating on this?
JD: Most children they say please and they say you’ve got to say 'thank you', so they copy that so they learn all the time that there are social etiquettes, and niceties, and rules. But I think the main problem is that some children have a very intense emotional life and when they anxious or they want something they get quite overwhelmed by their feelings, they are solo operators launching themselves into space trying to meet their needs. So they need that emotional modulation just to keep on working at it.
KR: So it’s more than just ‘if I do this, I will get that’ that you get to develop that very nascent and very important, at that age, concept of empathy?
JD: Exactly, an understanding of mind reading, that understanding that other people have their feelings and their rights, to realise it’s a very complex game. And that’s why children learn that from their parents talking that it is sort of a contract or rule. You’ve got to do your thing, you’ve got to help the other person… Active nurturing, active kindness to another child is, in fact, a developed neural circuit of empathy and caring.
KR: What age are those neural circuits kicking into action full? And at what age is that you do spend time ensuring that they’re getting exercised and developing?
JD: Two – again. It’s very early. Little children are amazingly empathetic. Once they realise - say there is a crisis at home with a baby often a two-year-old will help and say ‘the baby is sad and I’ll do something about it’.
Coaching your child: the social contract
Discussing the nature of rights and responsibilities in a social group
Helping the child clarify what these are in their situation
Exploring with the child what happens when an adult does not keep the social contract
Exploring with the child what should happen when they break the social contract
Explaining restoring the social contract through:
1. Accepting responsibility for their action
2. Exploring with the child how others have been affected
3. Making an undertaking to keep the social contract in future
4. Making up for their mistake in order to restore trust (saying sorry is not enough: actions speak louder than words)

Genetic impacts of crop domestication
BODY:
Scientists at Te Papa Tongarewa are using some of New Zealand's endemic plants and DNA sequencing tools to track how genetic diversity changes during of the process of crop domestication.
EXTENDED BODY:
When people first began cultivating crops, they unwittingly influenced the genetic makeup of the plants they grew. As scientists are working to unravel the impacts of crop domestication on genetic diversity, New Zealand is proving a good place for this research.
The domestication of plants, some 10,000 years ago, was one of the most important events in human history. It heralded the beginning of agriculture and of more permanent settlements. The time of hunters and gatherers was coming to an end.
The first cultivated plants - wheat, barley, lentils and types of pea – were grown in Mesopotamia. In other parts of the world, people domesticated wild rice and potatoes. All these crops are now global staples, but the price of domestication was a loss of genetic diversity – and this in turn leads to increased susceptibility to pests and diseases.
Scientists have long wondered whether this loss of genetic wealth happens early during the process of domestication or whether it’s a slow, drawn-out progression towards an increasingly impoverished genetic range.
It’s been a hard question to answer because most crops were first planted deliberately thousands of years ago. Except in New Zealand, the last place to be settled, only some 750 years ago. The first Māori brought several crops with them, but they soon also began to grow the plants they found here, including rengarenga lilies and karaka. And these plants are now helping Lara Shepherd, an evolutionary scientist at Te Papa and a Rutherford Discovery fellow, to unravel and to track the genetic impacts of cultivation.
Rengarenga lilies (Arthropodium cirratum) grow naturally in the northern parts of the North Island, but south of Rotorua, their distribution is more sparse. Back in 1880, the missionary and naturalist William Colenso described plantings of rengarenga around old Māori settlements, suggesting that the plants were cultivated for food and medicinal uses.
Lara Shepherd says there are descriptions of the fleshy roots of rengarenga lilies being roasted in hangi for food, or pulped and applied to tumours or abscesses.
As part of her research, she collected plants from across New Zealand and sequenced stretches of their DNA to analyse their genetic variation. She found that rengarenga from almost every different region within the pre-human range in the northern North Island had a unique DNA variant, with 29 in total. The cultivated plants, however, showed only two of these DNA types.
"There’s been a huge loss of genetic diversity. Only some of the DNA variants have made it into these cultivated populations and there's definitely what we call a genetic bottleneck, which shows that the diversity can be lost really early in the domestication process."
The team was also able to show that the plants that were cultivated in the South Island all came from the eastern Bay of Plenty region.
There was another outcome from the study. Lara Shepherd says that during the fieldwork, the team noticed that rengarenga has disappeared from some areas where it had been recorded in the past. "Although it is not currently considered endangered, this decline is concerning because unique genetic variants may be going extinct."

New Yorkers will soon be able to wander aboard an 80 foot food barge when it docks along the city's rivers, to harvest blueberries, chard and whatever else is growing.
It's effectively a community garden - but it can't happen on land because of a century old ordinance that forbids the picking or foraging for food on public land in New York city.
there are some images on our webpage of what the barge will look like, and the preparations...
Ashawnta Jackson is one of the team working on the garden, which will be called Swale.

Fighting child trafficking in Vietnam
BODY:
Working on the ground in Vietnam, Michael Brosowski's organisation Blue Dragon Children's Foundation has rescued 525 trafficked children, sent 4,046 kids back to school, and played over 2,000 games of soccer!
EXTENDED BODY:
Australian teacher Michael Brosowski has rescued 525 trafficked children, sent 4,046 kids back to school (and played over 2,000 games of soccer) with Blue Dragon – his foundation for Vietnamese children in poverty.
Listen to Michael Brosowski's 2013 conversation with Bryan Crump.
Interview highlights:
Paul Brennan: Where did the name Blue Dragon come from?
Michael Brosowski: When you look up at the sky in Vietnam you don’t see a whole lot of blue. And the sort of work that we deal with is also a bit like looking at grey.
PB: How did this get started?
MB: It came about very, very simply from me being in Hanoi. I was teaching in the economics university. After work I would see children shining shoes on the street. They were kids from the countryside that had come in to earn money for their families. And I had a skill – teaching English – that they wanted. So just very naturally, very simply, I started teaching there on the side of the street. Some of my university students – who are young Vietnamese adults – found out about this and they wanted to get involved. They could see this is a worthwhile thing to do. Let’s help these kids with some education. And it all grew from that.
PB: Is something you got turned on to seeing it in real life?
MB: At that point in my life I hadn’t really put into words what my philosophy is. I guess I was still exploring it. But I grew up in poverty. I grew up living in caravans on a block of land. We raised goats for their milk and their meat and we grew our own vegetables. And later on I went on to become a school teacher. School teachers don’t earn millions, but you can live a comfortable life. And I was living that comfortable life as a school teacher and felt deeply unsatisfied… It didn’t make me happy. I was no happier than when I’d been very poor. So the first time I left Australia on a holiday I went to Vietnam and I felt real joy. I just felt a connection with the people.
I was on a tour bus. And it was one of these big tours – dozens and dozens of backpackers like me. We were in the south-west of the country and there was a mountain we were going to walk up… I’d had some food poisoning so I said 'no thank you' to the walk up the mountain. I sat at the bottom under a tree. Just sitting there local kids were coming up to me. And they weren’t asking me for money. Some asked me if I had a pen that they could have. What they wanted was help to study for their exam – they had an English exam that afternoon.
The kids just wanted to learn. And a crowd gathered and I was teaching English to these very, very poor children. And while I was doing that their mothers were coming just bringing me candies and Coca-Colas. One of their mothers had a shop. And she was illiterate this particular woman, she lived under a tin roof on a dirt floor. And here I was teaching her son English and she appreciated that so much. She just wanted to give me what very little she had. And that profoundly moved me.

Farhana hears some of the girls give intimate insights into who they are and what they think the future holds.
9:07 Our Changing World
Genetic impacts of crop domestication. The shift from hunting and gathering to cultivating crops and livestock was one of the most important developments in human history. Most crops cultivated today were first grown many thousands of years ago, but New Zealand provides an ideal place to look at the early stages of domestication because of its short human history. Veronika Meduna meets Te Papa scientist Lara Shepherd, who's using DNA to explore how domestication has changed genetic diversity in rengarenga.
