BODY:
Why children and babies are being spoken to less and the impact this is having on language and social development. Speech therapists Ann Locke and Amanda White discuss a recent pilot programme they ran in Wellington, raising awareness of the importance of talking to babies and toddlers.
EXTENDED BODY:

The link between language development in the first two years of life and later success at school has been consistently proven in international research.
But research abroad, and to a lesser extent here in New Zealand, suggests that on the whole children's language levels are declining.
Anecdotal evidence from new entrant teachers indicate that many children are arriving at school with fewer words in their vocabularies than even a decade ago.
Are children being spoken to less and why would this be?
Wellington speech and language therapists Ann Locke and Amanda White have discuss a five week pilot programme in the suburb of Newtown working with parents and their babies and young children.
Ann Locke is a UK qualified therapist, teacher and educational psychologist who works with a number of primary schools in Wellington and Porirua.
Amanda White has 20 years experience working with young children in New Zealand and the UK.

University of Auckland nuclear physicist David Krofcheck explains his experiment at CERN's Large Hadron Collider.
EXTENDED BODY:
by Veronika Meduna
After a two-year maintenance shutdown, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) has restarted successfully this week. The world's largest particle accelerator is designed to replicate conditions immediately after the Big Bang, putting the Standard Model of particle physics to its most stringent test yet.
The accelerator is part of the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN), which sits astride the French-Swiss border near Geneva. The LHC is a 27-kilometre ring of superconducting magnets, and inside this underground tunnel two high-energy particle beams travel at close to the speed of light in opposite directions until they smash into other. The particles are so tiny that the task of making them collide is akin to firing two needles 10 kilometres apart with such precision that they meet halfway.
During this second research season, physicists hope to explain dark matter, gravity and antimatter. Our Changing World has covered the LHC's discovery of the Higgs Boson in 2012.
And below, you can also listen to our feature about the start of the LHC's first research season in 2008.

Vanishing Nature
BODY:
A new book presents a comprehensive analysis of New Zealand's biodiversity loss and the drivers behind it
EXTENDED BODY:
by Veronika Meduna
Despite remarkable efforts in conservation and internationally recognised success in pest eradication efforts from off-shore islands, New Zealand’s unique biological diversity continues to decline.
Of all the species of native birds in New Zealand, more than 40% are considered threatened or at risk of extinction. Native plants fare no better, and for native lizards, that number is 85%. At the moment, New Zealand ranks worst in the United Nations for the protection of threatened species, with more species at risk of extinction here than in any other nation.
Vanishing Nature - facing New Zealand's biodiversity crisis provides the first comprehensive analysis of the state of New Zealand’s biodiversity. In the book, a group of lawyers, policy analysts and ecologists argues that if we want to halt the loss of our native flora and fauna, we need to fundamentally rethink how we use nature.
Marie Brown, a policy analyst for the Environmental Defence Society and one of the authors, says that the worst impact happened when humans first settled here and cleared forests, hunted and brought an “unfortunate entourage of introduced mammals” that decimated native species.
'That was the most catastrophic event and certainly rates of loss are not as high as they were then. But the issue is that the integrity of ecosystems and species has progressively declined over the years so that those species that might have found refuge in unproductive areas of land and in freshwater are now beginning to feel the cumulative impacts. While they might have survived the first wave, they are not going to survive much longer.' - Marie Brown

There are several reasons for the ongoing decline, including New Zealand’s vulnerable biota – birds and reptiles that evolved without mammalian predators and never developed behaviours to avoid them – and the fact that human impact was not only substantial but also happened in a very short period of time. Marie Brown adds that the high number of species that are only found in New Zealand adds to the severity of the consequence. "The loss becomes not only national but global – if species are lost to New Zealand they are lost to the world."
The authors argue that the main reason for the ongoing decline is that we are not addressing the real drivers of biodiversity loss. “The real drivers are what we call market failure of biodiversity, which is the fact that natural systems are left out of decision making. They are not attributed value in the same way that some of the things that we easily attribute value to are. That leads to substantial underinvestment in conservation because it just doesn’t matter as much as other things that we can value more easily.”
The book identifies the power of private over public interests as another strong driver.
'It means that our agencies do not operate in a way that necessarily does the best for the public interest in nature and they tend to service the needs of industry much more.'

She says that people have to realise that “we all have a degree of skin in the game” when it comes to the fate of biodiversity and that our food production, recreational and cultural values are all linked to it. “To me the value is inarguable,” she says. “But we take nature services for granted and they are not factored in into economic decisions.”
New Zealand is recognised as one of 28 biodiversity hotspots worldwide, and that “confers very specific responsibilities around biodiversity protection”. In Vanishing Nature the authors make six recommendations for how New Zealand could do better in conservation. “We’re not at ground zero,” says Marie Brown. “The community conservation sector has just mushroomed in recent years and people have taken an increasing amount of leadership, but there are some things we need to work harder at.”
Increased funding is essential, she says, but the money could come from a range of revenue sources. “The general treasury pool that Vote Conservation is pulled from needs to be upped, but there are other ways, including a greater emphasis on polluter pays/user pays approaches to the extraction of goods from nature, and changes to the tax system.”
The authors acknowledge that their second recommendation – the call for new economic institutions – is the trickiest. “When private and public interests clash, the environment tends to lose out. We need to align divergent interests through the tax system to a point where it is strategically advantageous for all stakeholders to do right by the environment.”
'At the moment conservation is a cost and you have to correct that. At the other end of the ledger you also have to diminish that harm that’s been undertaken without recompense. So a novel economic institution addresses that and aligns stakeholders to the point where they have an incentive to minimise harm and do good conservation work.'

Other recommendations include better accountability and monitoring, and better legislation, particularly in the marine environment. “Our marine legislation, with the exception of the act controlling activities in the Exclusive Economic Zone and the extended continental shelf, is pretty archaic. The Marine Reserves Act for example doesn’t mention the Treaty of Waitangi … and it doesn’t mention that you can protect a marine reserve for biodiversity purposes, only for scientific purposes which is not the same, and it also provides only for no-take marine reserves … and that means that very few have got off the ground.”
Vanishing Nature is published by the Environmental Defence Society. The EDS annual conference, Wild Things (held in Auckland on August 11 to 13), will focus on the ongoing threats to New Zealand's terrestrial, freshwater and marine biodiversity.

The 'Bird Rescue Lady' of Great Barrier Island
BODY:
Great Barrier Island's Karen Walker looks after sick, injured and orphaned birds, such as banded rails, black petrels and pateke
EXTENDED BODY:
By Alison Ballance
Looking after baby birds is not for the faint-hearted. Baby banded rails, for instance, need to be fed every 15 minutes for the first few days. But it’s a chore that Karen Walker happily undertakes, knowing that by the time the chicks are six weeks old they’ll be able to be released into the wild.
Karen is the ‘bird rescue lady’ of Great Barrier Island, and the small island community knows to take any sick, injured or orphaned birds to her for care and rehabilitation. As well as banded rail chicks she regularly looks after pateke, black petrel and tui. So how did Karen fall into this role?
“It was just a desire to do something” says Karen. “Seeing the incredible variety of birds we have here, the native birds, and seeing that they are struggling at times. And I feel it’s really important to do whatever you can. [Humans] have brought cats, dogs, and rats, too, and it’s trying to offset that damage with some help in any way I can – and looking after the sick and injured ones, or helping raise little ones, as well as what I’m doing here with the habitat planting.’

Karen and her partner Ken live on a lifestyle block in Tryphena harbour in the south of Great Barrier Island. What began as bare paddock has now been liberally planted, with flaxes and cabbage trees thriving in a wetland area, with fruiting forest species such as puriri planted around the edge. While the initial plantings were done to provide habitat for pateke, the threatened brown teal, Karen realised that planting fruiting trees would benefit other bird species such as kaka and tui. There is still an area of mown grass, where the thriving pateke population feed at night. Karen also uses rat bait to control the property’s rodent population, and has put her two dogs through bird aversion training and keeps them shut in at night to be sure they won’t be a risk for the birds.
While Karen is the one who puts in long hours caring for the birds, she says that the Great Barrier Island community is very supportive of her. Judy Gilbert from the Windy Hill sanctuary has provided funding for an aviary, and supplies Karen with mealworms as food for hungry rail chicks. The Fly My Skies airline transport birds to and from the mainland if they need veterinary care, while a local car rental company delivers birds that need care and also drops off birds that are to be released in either Windy Hill and Glenfern sanctuaries.
Karen Walker belongs to Wildlife Rehabilitators Network of New Zealand, or WReNNZ, which currently lists 23 bird rehabilitation centres round New Zealand.

Making Writing Seem More Honest
BODY:
Helen Owen is analysing why different writing is perceived to be more honest and has found that connectors and simplicity play a role
EXTENDED BODY:
By Ruth Beran
To make your writing appear more honest, keep it simple.
That’s what PhD student Helen Owen from the University of Otago has found after conducting experiments on up to 150 participants to explore how easily writing is processed. Her research will be lapped up by politicians and speech writers, because the easier writing is to process, the more honest the writer is perceived to be and the more truthful their statements are judged to be.
Her advice is to: “cut your speech down to using simple vocabulary to avoid the pomposity, take out the longer words, but be really explicit about how these words relate to each other.”
She’s also found that it’s important to signal the explicit relationships between words and use “connectors”.
Explicit connectors are words like ‘that’, ‘because’, ‘about’ and ‘since’. “They’re almost like conjunctions, they join pairs of verbs together,” says Helen. They are very precise and indicate that the writer is clearly trying to link actions or verbs.
Using connectors in a sentence makes it easier or fluent for the reader to process the writing. “Fluency is associated with a positive affective response in the reader and this spills onto positive characteristics of the writer including honesty,” says Helen.
So the more connectors there are in a sentence the more honest the writing appears, except if they are implicit connectors. These are connectors that are missed out of a sentence.
Helen gives the following example: “We knew we should ease our hunger with some extremely delicious pizza.” This sentence leaves out the word “that”. The reader has to mentally insert it which requires more effort to process. Since the text is less fluently processed, the writer appears less honest. To make the sentence easier to read it should read: “We knew that we should ease our hunger with some extremely delicious pizza.”
Helen has also found that simple or complex use of language, and the use of connectors, can impact not just on how the writer is perceived but also how the writer perceives others.
“If the writer is feeling cognitively taxed by their complex vocabulary this will spill into how they feel about themselves, and also how they judge others honest or dishonest behaviours,” says Helen. In particular, it was found that women who were asked to write in a complex way judged others’ potentially immoral behaviour more harshly than men in the same situation. And older people were harsher than younger people.
In an age of social media, Helen wants to do further experiments comparing tweets with blog pieces and emails. For example, she’d like to know if the 140 character limit for tweets is simplifying language or resulting in writing that’s harder to process because there are more implicit connectors.
In the meantime, her advice is clear. “Even President’s speeches…[have] become more simple over time, language is becoming shorter over time and it’s a trend that we need to sort of get on board with because we’ll see positive benefits. Not only in how we feel about ourselves but how we perceive others,” she says.

Sports Doping - How Steroids are Bad for Your Heart
BODY:
Alison Heather is opposed to sports doping because designer steroids, such as androgen mimics, are bad for heart health
EXTENDED BODY:
By Alison Ballance
Alison Heather has very firm opinions about people taking steroids to enhance their sports and exercise performance.
“I’m not for it at all. Any form of doping agent I’m not in favour of, simply because I know what damage it can do to your body. Doing the ultramarathons and the Ironmans that I do, we’re already putting our body at risk. To then put foreign agents into our bodies, you’re accelerating that risk. I’m totally against it, and a big advocate for anti-doping campaigns.”

And when she says this, Alison Heather - who competes in Ironman and ultra-marathons - is not talking just as a sports person. The University of Otago physiologist researches sex hormones and their effect on coronary heart disease, so she knows exactly how steroids such as male androgens affect the human body.
In females, the sex hormones are oestrogens, and in males they are androgens, including testosterone and di-hydro-testosterone.
It’s well known that oestrogen produced in a woman’s body is protective against heart disease, and that as oestradiol levels drop following menopause women become more likely to suffer heart attacks or strokes. Large well-known trials of post-menopausal women on hormone replacement therapy also showed that taking oestrogen as a supplement led to higher rates of heart disease and strokes. Research by Alison and colleagues unravelled the mechanism behind this effect.
“Oestradiol, taken in a tablet form in older life actually causes accelerated calcification or hardening of a plaque,” says Alison, “And this leads to a more likely chance that the plaque in an artery will rupture, causing a myocardial infarction or a stroke.”

While it has been difficult to study the physiological effects in humans of taking male sex steroids (as sports doping is very much a hidden affair), work in Alison’s lab using mice has drawn a very clear picture.
“We’ve shown that in male mice that are given high dose androgens we see an increase in coronary heart disease and an increase in the hardening of these plaques. So there is a link between taking a sex steroid exogenously and putting it into your body in older life or in high doses, and an acceleration in coronary heart disease.”
Anti-doping agencies have well-developed techniques that use gas chromatography and mass spectrometry to detect natural androgens such as testosterone and di-hydro-testosterone. However, these methods only work when the molecular structure is already known, and there is a lucrative trade in developing and selling novel designer androgens that evade normal tests.
To get around that Alison has developed bio-assays that highlight if a sample is having an androgenic effect by their ability to switch on the androgen receptor.
Alison has been involved in screening samples that concerned parents or coaches have collected, in an effort to find out whether they contain illicit steroids. She was also involved in screening a large number of nutraceutical products, such as protein muscle builders and fat burners, which are readily available on the internet. What they found was that many of the products that claimed to have certain levels of steroids often contained much lower levels. More concerning was finding steroids in products that didn’t declare any such content.
“What we found is that in around 10-16% of these products we can detect an androgen,” says Alison. “So this is a concern because these are products that don’t declare they contain an androgen, and so people may be taking them not being aware they’re taking an androgen that may have potential health risks. It’s also a risk for an athlete taking them, as they could potentially test positive [during sports doping tests].”
