Writing the Thesis

Students are strongly encouraged to begin writing up while still engaged in planning, data gathering and/or data analysis. This reduces the often daunting task facing the student if writing up is delayed until it is the only remaining task. Target dates should be decided and monitored.

Drafts of all chapters should be submitted to the supervisor(s) for comment. Reasonably prompt feedback should be provided on substantive issues. Most supervisors also give feedback on style, grammar, etc., but students are encouraged to seek additional feedback from other readers.

Word processing (with computerised document storage) should be used wherever possible, to allow revisions to be made more easily. Candidates should ensure they have backups of research material.

A Master's thesis worth 120 points should normally be limited to 40,000 words of text, excluding appendices, footnotes and bibliographies. Theses worth less credits may have lower word limits and candidates are reminded to check the specific regulations for their degree.

Theses will normally be written in English and must conform to proper standards of linguistic presentation. Should the examiners find that the thesis falls short of such standards, they may request that it be corrected before the examination proper is undertaken. Candidates intending to write their thesis in Māori should contact their Divisional Office for advice. Candidates wishing to write their thesis in a language other than English or Māori will need to seek approval, at the time of admission, from their Divisional Office. Such approval will only be given in exceptional circumstances.

Format of the Thesis

The format of the thesis should be agreed to by the Department, supervisor and the student, during the earlier stages of the writing. Any changes which may need to be made later should be agreed to again by these parties.

There are certain physical requirements to be adhered to which are set out in thesis information pamphlets available from the Central Library or Departments and in the regulations pertaining to the presentation of theses. The following two links provide further information about the presentation of theses: • Thesis information guide ( http://otago.libguides.com/thesisinformation ) • Presentation of theses regulations ( http://www.otago.ac.nz/administration/policies/otago003249.html )

A thesis template is available in the Blackboard support site for Master's research candidates.

Masters' theses should normally be limited to 40,000 words of text, excluding appendices, footnotes and bibliographies. Different word limits may apply to Masters' degrees which involve the preparation of a research report, a project report or a dissertation.

Illustrative materials (such as maps, computer disks and CDs) may be submitted with the thesis. They must either be bound with the thesis or placed in a pocket inside the cover. Extensive or bulky material relevant to the thesis may be bound separately as an appendix.

There are three principal methods of citing references in a text: footnotes, the author-date and the reference-number system. Supervisors should be consulted as to the method favoured in the particular subject area. There are particular rules for each, and it is important to be consistent in the application of the method decided upon.

Footnotes may be used for purposes other than citing references, namely to provide cross-references, to acknowledge indebtedness and to explain or supplement material that is included in the text.

Bibliographic style is important, and considerable time will be saved if all the necessary data for each citation are collected at the time of consulting the works concerned, particularly if the references are saved using referencing software such as EndNote or Zotero. Various styles are acceptable; the important point again to remember is that, having decided on a particular style, students should retain this style throughout the bibliography. There may be a preferred method within a discipline; students should check with their supervisor(s).

The Library contains various authorities for consultation on styles of footnoting and bibliographies.

Academic Integrity and Plagiarism

Academic integrity means being honest in your writing, with appropriate referencing of sources. Plagiarism involves using someone else's words or ideas without properly acknowledging /referencing them. It is is defined as copying or paraphrasing another's work, whether intentionally or otherwise, and presenting it as one's own.

In practice this means that plagiarism includes: • any attempt to present as one's own work the work of another (whether of another student or a published authority); • quoting word-for-word, or near to it, from a source and failing to insert quotation marks around the quoted passage(s). In such cases of direct copying, it it not adequate to merely cite the source – quotation marks and a page number should be given; • using data or interpretative material without acknowledging the sources or the collaborators.

Thesis candidates should note that the Introduction/Literature Review in their thesis must demonstrate evidence of their own scholarly work. In a Master's thesis, the Literature Review goes beyond a mere literature 'survey' and candidates should avoid therefore the temptation of merely regurgitating the work of others or of piecing together sections of the work of others into a new whole. Research is not summarising or repeating uncritically the ideas of others.

Candidates should also be extremely cautious about depending heavily on review articles for their Literature Review. While these are often very helpful, they can also lead to undue reliance upon both the ideas and actual words of other workers.

Students have a responsibility to be aware of acceptable academic practice in relation to the use of material prepared by others, and for taking all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that no breach of acceptable practice occurs.

Any student found responsible for plagiarism shall be subject to the University's Student Academic Misconduct Procedures, which may result in various penalties including, in extreme cases, exclusion from the University.

The University's Academic Integrity Policy is found at http://www.otago.ac.nz/administration/policies/otago116838.html , while the Student Academic Misconduct Procedures are http://www.otago.ac.nz/administration/policies/otago116850.html . Master's research candidates can submit drafts of their chapters to check for unintentional plagiarism, using SafeAssign, which is available on the Blackboard website 'GRS_MST Graduate Research Support for Masters Students' under 'Assignments'. However, candidates should be aware that the search engines for SafeAssign may not capture all journals that have been used, so could miss detecting passages of text that may be copied.

Inclusion of the Candidate's Published Papers in their Thesis

Because of the reasonably short duration of the Master's thesis, it is unlikely that candidates will publish during their study. However, we do encourage publishing once the thesis is submitted, and providing the thesis has been completed in a timely manner, and if the candidate is on campus and not working more than 10 hours a week, the candidate will be eligible for a Postgraduate Publishing Bursary . In exceptional cases it is possible that candidates may publish during their candidature and any papers could be included as part of the thesis or appended, providing certain guidelines are followed. The guidelines for the inclusion of material from a research candidate's publications in their thesis are available at http://www.otago.ac.nz/administration/policies/otago073763.html .

Thesis formatting guide

Ensure you have met the formatting guidelines for your thesis before you deposit.

All theses deposited to the Library must abide by the following guidelines. If you have any questions about the formats, please contact the Library Research Services team.

Requirements

Your thesis must :

• Be clearly typed with no marking comments
• Include a title page that complies with the standard for all Victoria University of Wellington theses ( see sample pdf )
• Have numbered pages
• Include an abstract, written in accordance with the requirements of your degree.

We also recommend that your thesis:

• Has body text around 12-point font size, with 1.5-line spacing
• Has margins of at least 2 cm.

Your file must :

• However, for supplementary files, all document formats are accepted
• Where possible use the latest version of the software to create your PDF
• Use settings to minimise the file size
• All fonts should be embedded; the easiest way to check that you have converted your files correctly is to see if you can copy and paste words from the PDF
• Ensure no security setting is placed on your PDF; access restrictions can be placed on the document by Library staff if necessary.
• Be less than 2 gigabytes in size. If your thesis is over the limit, it will need to be split into multiple files before you deposit it. However, we strongly urge you to try and reduce the file size as much as you can.
• Have a filename that contains only alphanumeric characters (a–z, 0–9), underscores, and/or hyphens.

Non-standard theses formats

The Library will be happy to accept your thesis in a non-standard format where this has been approved by your head of school. You must include a completed Non-standard format permission form pdf with your deposited thesis.

Some examples of non-standard formats include music scores; three-dimensional models; performance recordings; or works in fabric, wood, plastic, or metal. If you’re unsure, contact the Library Research Services team for guidance.

You should consider any requirements for a non-standard format as early as possible. PhD candidates should normally apply for this approval when they move from provisional to full registration. Master’s by thesis candidates should give some indication of a non-standard format when completing their three-month progress report, with confirmation at the eight-month progress report.

Please ensure that each section of the form is completed correctly, as specified by the guide to completing the form pdf .

• Item The Third Order: A Necessary Holism in Approaches to Situated Cinematic Virtual Reality Storytelling ( Auckland University of Technology, 2023 ) McClean, Genevieve Show more In this Cinematic Virtual Reality (CVR) project named ‘The Third Order’ with a script written to purpose, ‘three degrees of freedom’ (3DoF) virtual reality content, is presented in an iconic colonial mansion with elements of immersive theatre and participatory ludic qualities to highlight functions of the project for discussion. The content is recorded in the same environment as that for presentation. Epistemological methods prioritise the perspective of researcher as writer /designer /director and actor, towards creating an engaging experience of narrative continuity for audience. Audience participants are then chaperoned through the intermedial exhibition prototype and subsequently provide the researcher with semi-structured interviews to describe their experience. Findings hinge around design elements and the use of theatre rehearsals and choreographic techniques that expand understanding of a range of subject areas including: proximal distancing; incorporation and re-configuring of filmic languages in CVR; the role of the director as surrogate audience and actor, due to the implications of proximities; the matter thereby as triangulation between Points of interest (POI) and camera/audience; and the qualities of inclusion of the audience in intimate action versus the wider story. The discussion is that CVR design, requires variable specificities dependent on genre and content, to refine the psychological experience of self as audience, as well as participant. Thus, is it argued that there are several ways in which traditional theatre and film design can merge in a holistic approach that upholds engaging story experiences without self-conscious distraction. The exegesis posits that the implications of situated CVR, for narrative continuity, and for linear intermedial immersive storytelling in real-world locations might be relevant in the neighbouring fields of XR and AR design. Findings of efficacy through observed experience is expressed as a matrix of ‘filmic languages’ juxtaposed against ‘obstructions to CVR engagement’ and the resultant film and theatre performance approaches.

• Item Fine-Scale Habitat Zonation of Fringing Reef Flats in the Solomon Islands; a Geospatial Analysis ( Auckland University of Technology, 2024 ) Martin, Grace Show more Coral reefs are highly productive, biologically diverse ecosystems, that support an assortment of marine organisms and provide many ecological goods and services to local and surrounding coastal populations. The reef flat is a delicate coastal habitat that faces vulnerability to influences such as coastal runoff and development, sedimentation, overharvesting, increased temperatures, and other effects of climate change. Precise, effective, and repeatable assessments of reef flat habitat dynamics are pivotal for the mapping, monitoring, and conservation efforts aimed at preserving these distinctive environments. The overall aim of this research was to investigate the ability of Unoccupied Aerial Vehicle (UAV) Full Motion Video (FMV) techniques to effectively quantify the dynamics of habitat zonation across the Vavanga reef flat on Kolombangara Island, Solomon Islands. This study combined UAV footage with synchronous underwater video within ArcGIS Pro, to map the distribution of substrata and biota across the reef flat at multiple classification levels. Many patterns in the distribution of substrata and biota were illustrated in this study, through a combination of summary statistics, simple linear regressions, and classification and regression trees. Additionally, the classifying ability of the image recognition software ReefCloud.AI was found to be moderately successful when applied to a subset of the collected data. An Object-Based Image Classification (OBIA) was also performed across a section of the high-resolution photo orthomosaic and resulted in variable classification accuracies across the selected classes. The combination of synchronous UAV FMV and underwater imagery successfully achieved the anticipated outcomes of the project, yielding precise images, maps, and statistical models of the subtidal area. This innovative approach has a broad range of potential applications and has contributed to the development of effective subtidal surveying and mapping techniques. These advancements will enhance our ability to make informed decisions around ecosystem-based management and the conservation of globally threatened coral reef ecosystems. Show more
• Item Determining the Feasibility and Acceptability of the Moves4LilMinds Programme in the New Zealand Context: A Randomised Pilot Study ( Auckland University of Technology, 2024 ) Seniloli, Leanne Show more Background. Primitive reflexes are automatic stereotyped movements, present in the first year of life which assist with birthing and development of motor, sensory and visual systems. Primitive reflexes are superseded by fully developed postural reflexes by 4-years-old. The prolonged presence of primitive reflexes indicates an increased risk of neuromotor immaturity, developmental delay and neuro-behavioural disorders in children. Neuromotor interventions can reduce the presence of primitive reflexes and lead to improvements in motor development, and pro-social behaviour, along with reading, spelling, and writing in school-aged children (Goddard Blythe, 2005; Goddard Blythe, 2023; Konicarova et al., 2013; Marlee, 2008). However, few studies have measured neuromotor interventions in younger children and to the best of our knowledge, there have been no prior studies of this kind in four-year-olds in New Zealand. Accordingly, this thesis aimed to examine aspects of feasibility and acceptability of a neuromotor programme, ‘Moves4LilMinds’ (M4LM), in children aged 4-years-old. Methods. Using a single-centre, two-arm, single-blinded, pilot randomised controlled trial (RCT) design, 11 children (mean age = 4.2 years) were randomised to the intervention or a general exercise control group. Feasibility of conducting a full-scale trial of the intervention was quantitatively assessed by examining rate of recruitment, acceptance and effectiveness of randomisation, and participant burden. Feasibility of the intervention was quantitatively assessed by programme adherence and safety. Acceptability was qualitatively assessed by semi-structured interviews with parents and teachers. Results. Findings supported feasibility of participant recruitment (81%), effectiveness of balanced randomisation (Māori/non-Māori, age, sex), acceptance of randomisation (100%), safe delivery (100%) and consistent improvements in teacher intervention adherence across two assessment timepoints. Parent and teacher feedback on intervention acceptability revealed three themes: benefits; challenges; and the importance of teacher initiative when delivering the intervention. Teachers found the intervention acceptable to use in the early childhood centre, with reported improvements in teacher-child relationships, concentration, attention, self-regulation, body/mind connections, and child leadership. Both parents and teachers reported benefits for children’s confidence, focus, behaviour and coordination. Teacher-reported barriers to intervention delivery including remembering the exercises, initial discomfort modelling exercises and staffing challenges. Teacher initiatives to support delivery included reminder sheets, shared leadership and flexibility. Conclusions. Study findings suggest that a future full-scale trial is likely to be feasible, with changes to the study design to increase participant completion of assessments and intervention delivery. Future studies can draw on the strengths and recommendations of the current study, allowing greater time for intervention delivery and larger sample sizes to enhance design. Future research can harness the opportunity to determine the efficacy of neuromotor intervention programmes for reducing the presence of primitive reflexes in four-year-olds as an intervention pre-primary school. This offers the potential to enhance children’s learning, behaviour and physical development in New Zealand and beyond. Show more
• Item A Spectral Analysis of the Polarisation of Drifting Sub-Pulses ( Auckland University of Technology, 2023 ) Castelltort Schnaas, Ander Show more Pulsars are among the most extreme objects in the Universe. Each one is born during a supernova – a dramatic explosion that happens when a bright star many times bigger than our Sun runs out of fuel. The heavy core of the star collapses under its own weight into something more dense than the nucleus of an atom. Each pulsar has an inferred magnetic field that is millions of times stronger than any that can be produced here on the Earth. Like a cosmic lighthouse, this magnetic field generates beams that sweep across the Galaxy with each rotation of the star (Gold, 1968; Pacini, 1968); however, the underlying physics of the pulsar emission mechanism remains poorly understood after decades of study (Melrose & Yuen, 2016). Unlike the steady beam of a lighthouse, a pulsar’s beam crackles and pops with lightning-like discharges of energy (Ruderman & Sutherland, 1975). By studying this highly dynamic signal, we learn about what generates the radio waves and what happens as they travel through the turbulent plasma in the pulsar’s strong magnetic field. A relatively rare number of pulsars exhibit quasi-periodic variations in the polarisation state of their emission (e.g. Primak et al., 2022). To provide new insight into the origin of this behaviour, we developed a novel statistical method, based on Principal Component Analysis of the Fourier Transforms of the Stokes parameters, that extends the work of Edwards (2004) such that it can be applied in the case of quasi-periodic polarisation fluctuations. We apply this technique to the first-discovered pulsar, compare and contrast the results with previous work, and present the first detection of quasiperiodic drift frequency modulation. The method can be applied to a wide range of radio pulsars in order to obtain a quantitative measure of the fraction of pulsars that exhibit quasi-periodic polarisation fluctuations. In doing so, the techniques developed for this research project will provide new experimental constraints on theories of radio emission and propagation in the pulsar magnetosphere, and facilitate a deeper understanding of the physics of relativistic plasmas in strong magnetic fields.

• Item Impact of Religiosity on Moral Dumbfounding ( Auckland University of Technology, 2024 ) Henderson, Daniel Show more New ideas have emerged around moral decision-making, emphasising intuitions rather than reasoning. Research suggests that people often rely on their moral intuitions and then use post-hoc rationalisations to explain themselves (Perkins et al., 1991; Nisbett et al., 1977). This tendency is most clearly seen in the moral dumbfounding effect, where people hold to a moral claim without being able to justify their position (Haidt et al., 2000; McHugh et al., 2020). However, the impact of religion on moral dumbfounding has yet to receive proper attention. Indian and South American cultures (which are more religious than Western secular cultures) tend to place more emphasis on respect and purity, while Western cultures tend to prioritise fairness and harm (Haidt et al., 1993; Miller & Bersoff, 1992; Miller et al., 1990; Miller & Luthar, 1989). This is important, as past moral dumbfounding studies try to account for explanations rooted in justice and harm, making it harder for secular cultures to explain their reasoning. Therefore, moral dumbfounding may not occur in religious cultures as respect and purity explanations are not accounted for in past moral dumbfounding experiments. Therefore, this thesis seeks to determine whether religious cultures are affected by dumbfounding. Show more

The Steve Zone was a new target generated by Thesis' multidisciplinary exploration program and the discovery was confirmed through drilling in 2022. The 2023 drill campaign, comprised six holes that extended mineralization and defined multiple mineralized zones, demonstrating its promising resource potential. Situated 3.5km directly south of the Bonanza-Ridge Zone, the Steve Zone continues to demonstrate the potential for wide-spread mineralization across the Ranch Project. The Project is road-accessible by way of the Company's Lawyers Gold-Silver Project, and together the two projects form a contiguous, 325 km 2 land package in the prolific Toodoggone Mining District in northern British Columbia.

Building upon the 2022 discovery of 119.20 metres (m) of 0.97 grams per tonne gold (g/t Au), six 2023 drillholes confirmed the presence of multiple mineralized zones :

Mineralization now extends from surface to a vertical depth of over 400 metres and 330 metres strike length, it remains open.

The Steve zone is characterized by broad-scale silica alteration and associated mineralization that contain more localized zones of higher grade.

23STVDD003 intercepted 10.00 m of 3.01 g/t Au beginning at 18.00 m core length (see Table 1 for complete assay results).

23STVDD005 intercepted 60.24 m at 0.78 g/t Au including 6.63 m of 3.49 g/t Au, and 71.00 m of 0.71 g/t including 26.00 m of 1.20 g/t Au.

The latest findings from the Steve Zone, a result of internal target generation efforts, not only underscore the zone's potential, but also highlight the extensive exploration opportunities across our district scale land package.

Ewan Webster, President and CEO, commented, "Our exploration efforts at the Ranch Project are revealing remarkable potential, as demonstrated by the latest findings from the Steve Zone. The 2023 drilling, building upon our 2022 discovery, establishes mineralization from surface to an impressive depth of 400 metres and a strike length of 330 metres. With a total of just eight widely spaced drill holes into the Steve Zone over the past two years, there's substantial upside potential to develop this into a significant deposit. The initial results at Steve share similarities with other zones at Ranch, and what's particularly promising is the presence of localized higher-grade zones, hinting at the possibility of Bonanza Zone-grade mineralization within this larger system, reinforcing the extensive exploration opportunities across our land package."

The Steve Zone forms a local topographic high, the resistive feature is the result of silicification of the volcanic host rock (Figure 1). In 2022 this area was drilled as a conceptual exploration target identified through mapped alteration, surface rock samples yielding between 0.53 and 2.91 g/t Au, spatially overlapping soil geochemical anomalies (Ag, As, Sb, Mo, W, Pb, and Zn), and intersecting structural lineaments interpreted from ground geophysics (magnetics and induced polarization-IP). The 2022 discovery of the Steve Zone was delineated by two drillholes spaced 220 m apart, one of which returned 119.20 m of 0.97 g/t Au beginning ~350 m below surface (see news release from January 12, 2023 ).

In 2023, drilling aimed to expand upon the 2022 discovery drillholes, confirming up-dip and along-strike continuity of mineralized zones. The results validate the widespread presence of silica and advanced argillic alteration assemblages, encompassing broad intervals of mineralization and narrower zones of higher grade. Mineralization coincides with silica±dickite, a clay mineral indicative of acidic conditions. Localized high-grade mineralization is more commonly associated with hydrothermal breccias and localized increases in quartz-barite and sooty sulphide veining.

Quality Assurance and Control

Results from samples were analyzed at ALS Global Laboratories (Geochemistry Division) in Vancouver, Canada (an ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accredited facility). The sampling program was undertaken by Company personnel under the direction of Rob L'Heureux, P.Geol. A secure chain of custody is maintained in transporting and storing of all samples. Gold was assayed using a fire assay with atomic emission spectrometry and gravimetric finish when required (+10 g/t Au). Drill intervals with visible gold were assayed using metallic screening. Rock chip samples from outcrop/bedrock are selective by nature and may not be representative of the mineralization hosted on the project.

About Thesis Gold Inc.

Thesis Gold, following its strategic merger with Benchmark Metals, is unlocking the combined potential of the Ranch and Lawyers Gold-Silver Projects in the Toodoggone mining district of north central British Columbia, Canada. A 2022 Preliminary Economic Assessment for the Lawyers project alone projected an open-pit mining operation yielding an average of 163,000 gold equivalent ounces annually over a 12-year span 1 . By integrating the Ranch project, the company aims to enhance the economics and bolster the overall project's potential. Central to this ambition is the 2023 50,000-metre drill program, which aims to define the high-grade underground resource at Lawyers and augment the near-surface high-grade deposits at Ranch. The company's roadmap includes releasing a combined Ranch-Lawyers resource estimate by Q2 2024, with an updated Preliminary Economic Assessment slated for Q3 2024. Through these strategic moves, Thesis Gold aspires to elevate the Ranch-Lawyers project to the forefront of global precious metals ventures.
