The thesis may not be reproduced elsewhere without the permission of the Author. Traditional Knowledge Systems and Crops: Case Studies on the Introduction of Kūmara (Ipomoea batatas) and Taewa Māori (Solanum tuberosum) to Aotearoa/New Zealand A thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirement for the degree of Master of AgriScience in Horticultural Science at Massey University, Manawatū, New Zealand Rodrigo Estrada de la Cerda 2015 Kūmara and Taewa Māori, Ōhakea, New Zealand i Abstract Kūmara (Ipomoea batatas) and taewa Māori, or Māori potato (Solanum tuberosum), are arguably the most important Māori traditional crops. Over many centuries, Māori have developed a very intimate relationship to kūmara, and later with taewa, in order to ensure the survival of their people. There are extensive examples of traditional knowledge aligned to kūmara and taewa that strengthen the relationship to the people and acknowledge that relationship as central to the human and crop dispersal from different locations, eventually to Aotearoa / New Zealand. This project looked at the diverse knowledge systems that exist relative to the relationship of Māori to these two food crops; kūmara and taewa. A mixed methodology was applied and information gained from diverse sources including scientific publications, literature in Spanish and English, and Andean, Pacific and Māori traditional knowledge. The evidence on the introduction of kūmara to Aotearoa/New Zealand by Māori is indisputable. Mātauranga Māori confirms the association of kūmara as important cargo for the tribes involved, even detailing the purpose for some of the voyages.

  • Home Advantage and Crowd Attendance: Evidence from Rugby
    Home advantage and crowd attendance: Evidence from rugby during the Covid 19 pandemic Fernando Delbianco ∗1,2, Federico Fioravanti †1,3, and Fernando Tohmé ‡1,2 1Instituto de Matemática de Bahía Blanca, CONICET - UNS, Bahía Blanca, Argentina 2Departamento de Economía, Universidad Nacional del Sur, Bahía Blanca, Argentina 3Departamento de Matemática, Universidad Nacional del Sur, Bahía Blanca, Argentina Abstract The COVID-19 pandemic forced almost all professional and amateur sports to be played without attending crowds. Thus, it induced a large-scale natural experiment on the impact of social pressure on decision making and behavior in sports fields. Using a data set of 1027 rugby union matches from 11 tournaments in 10 countries, we find that home teams have won less matches and their point difference decreased during the pandemics, shedding light on the impact of crowd attendance on the home advantage of sports teams. 1 Introduction A traditional song chanted by fans in many sport fields in support of their teams says “You’ll never walk alone”1. The crowds chant it to encourage their teams, believing that this will give them the strength to beat the opponent. The idea is that a strong support by the fan base at the stadium can lead to a victory. It is natural to think that such support will be stronger if the game is played at the home stadium. In fact, several studies confirm that home teams have an advantage (known in the literature as arXiv:2105.01446v1 [econ.GN] 4 May 2021 home advantage (HA)) over the away team. It has been furthermore shown that HA leads to a higher winning rate or at least to a larger point difference.
