TESS Data do not Confirm Gravity Modes in the RR Lyrae Star HH Puppis Open
A recent study found pulsation frequencies in the RR Lyrae star HH Puppis that were identified as gravity modes, and argued that this phenomenon could explain the Blazhko effect in which pulsations of RR Lyrae stars undergo long term chang…

Nurses’ work in relation to patient health outcomes: an observational study comparing models of primary care Open
Transferring work to nurses in Traditional, Health Care Home, and Corporate practices, would release general practitioner clinical time for other work. Worse patient health outcomes were associated with higher patient need and higher clini…

Comparative study of the W UMa type binaries S Ant and Epsilon CrA Open
Contact binaries challenge contemporary stellar astrophysics with respect to their incidence, structure and evolution. We explore these issues through a detailed study of two bright examples: S Ant and Eps CrA, that permit high-resolution …

Comparative study of the W UMa type binaries S Ant and ε CrA Open
Contact binaries challenge contemporary stellar astrophysics with respect to their incidence, structure, and evolution. We explore these issues through a detailed study of two bright examples: S Ant and $\varepsilon$ CrA, that permit high-…

The enigmatic multiple star VV Ori Open
New photometry, including TESS data, have been combined with recent spectroscopic observations of the Orion Ib pulsating triple-star system VV Ori. This yields a revised set of absolute parameters with increased precision. Two different pr…

New Dimming Events in Southern R Coronae Borealis Stars Open
This paper reports on photometry of dimming events for three Southern R Coronae Borealis (RCB) stars. Two of these stars have recently entered a dimming phase (IO Nor and V653 Sco), while the other (GU Sgr) is emerging from a dimming event…

Hauora Māori – Māori health: a right to equal outcomes in primary care Open
Background For more than a century, Māori have experienced poorer health than non-Māori. In 2019 an independent Tribunal found the Government had breached Te Tiriti o Waitangi by “failing to design and administer the current primary health…

Towards a national equitable and sustainable clinical research infrastructure for Aotearoa New Zealand Open
Clinical trials are a critical element of a modern, high-functioning, learning healthcare system. Clinical trials provide access to novel, as yet unfunded treatments, and deliver cutting-edge healthcare. Evidence from clinical trials ensur…

V618 Sgr: galactic eclipsing symbiotic nova detected in repeated outbursts Open
V618 Sgr was previously classified as an R CrB-type variable and later as a possible symbiotic star. Our study aims to analyse the nature of this target, which is currently undergoing significant brightening in properties similar to those …

Is there equity of patient health outcomes across models of general practice in Aotearoa New Zealand? A national cross-sectional study Open
Background Primary care in Aotearoa New Zealand is largely delivered by general practices, heavily subsidised by government. Te Tiriti o Waitangi (1840) guarantees equal health outcomes for Māori and non-Māori, but differences are stark an…

Nurses’ work in relation to patient health outcomes: an observational study comparing models of primary care Open
Background Māori are over-represented in Aotearoa New Zealand morbidity and mortality statistics. Other populations with high health needs include Pacific peoples and those living with material deprivation. General practice has evolved int…

Patient health outcomes associated with models of general practice in Aotearoa New Zealand: a national cross-sectional study Open
Background Primary care in Aotearoa New Zealand is largely delivered by general practices which are heavily subsidised by government. At least seven models of primary care have evolved: Traditional, Corporate, Health Care Home, Māori pract…

V410 Puppis: A useful laboratory for early stellar evolution Open
New spectrometric (HERCULES) and ground-based multi-colour photometric data on the multiple star V410 Puppis are combined with satellite photometry (HIPPARCOS and TESS), as well as historic astrometric observations. Absolute parameters for…

Absolute parameters of young stars: V puppis Open
New spectrometric data on V Pup are combined with satellite photometry [HIPPARCOS and recent Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS)] to allow a revision of the absolute parameters with increased precision. We find: M1 = 14.0 ± 0.5, M…

Do healthcare services behave as complex systems? Analysis of patterns of attendance and implications for service delivery Open
Urgent healthcare use displays characteristic statistical features of large complex systems. These studies provide strong quantitative evidence that healthcare services behave as complex systems and have important implications for urgent c…
