Abstract The restoration of the Ōngātoro/Maketū Estuary involves reconnection freshwater and estuarine habitats through rediversion Kaituna River is an innovative attempt to manage interconnected ecosystems improve ecological health conservation outcomes. Flood drainage works in 1950s severed connection between fresh‐ salt‐water systems, leading sedimentation, algal growth anoxic conditions, loss saltmarsh other vegetated wetland habitat. Following decades trenchant debate about causes,...

The paper examines an instance of reflexive governance in environmental policy and planning explains its emergence through a discursive institutional lens. Discursive institutionalist frameworks draw attention to the articulation institutionalisation new ideas way they produce objects governance, powerfully influencing conceptualisation problems solutions, determining who is involved processes nature their interactions, outcomes. We on notion spiral as understanding nearly 40-year evolving...

The increasing use of participatory processes in environmental governance and management has implications for the way different conceptualisations nature environment are recognised within decision-making. This article draws on a case study Ōngātoro Maketū estuary restoration initiative Aotearoa, New Zealand, to examine how shifting discourses intersect with exercise power influence decision-making estuary. is based qualitative analysis an archive historical policy planning documents, 25...

Walking in the footsteps of our ancestors can provide important ancestral precedents that support Indigenous wāhine (women) Aotearoa working through challenges we might face today and into future. At end 2020, a group seven Raukawa re-walked journey their ancestress Māhinaarangi. She walked, whilst heavily pregnant, from lands her people on East Coast to those husband, Tūrongo, central North Island. Her hīkoi (walk) offers significant conceptual physical maps speak mātauranga (knowledge)...

Diagnosing medical conditions from histopathology data requires a thorough analysis across the various resolutions of Whole Slide Images (WSI). However, existing generative methods fail to consistently represent hierarchical structure WSIs due focus on high-fidelity patches. To tackle this, we propose Ultra-Resolution Cascaded Diffusion Models (URCDMs) which are capable synthesising entire images at high whilst authentically capturing details both underlying anatomy and pathology all...

Background Post-transplant glomerulonephritis (PTGN) has been associated with inferior long-term allograft survival, and its incidence varies widely in the literature. Methods This is a cohort study of 7,623 patients transplanted between 2005 2016 at four major transplant UK centres. The diagnosis (GN) was extracted from histology reports aided by use text-mining software. most common GN post-transplantation calculated, risk factors for disease outcomes were analyzed. Results In total, 214...

Diagnoses from histopathology images rely on information both high and low resolutions of Whole Slide Images. Ultra-Resolution Cascaded Diffusion Models (URCDMs) allow for the synthesis high-resolution that are realistic at all magnification levels, focusing not only fidelity but also long-distance spatial coherency. Our model beats existing methods, improving pFID-50k [2] score by 110.63 to 39.52 pFID-50k. Additionally, a human expert evaluation study was performed, reaching weighted Mean...
