Describes a longitudinal cohort analysis of 698 individuals born in 1955 in Kauai, HI, following them from the perinatal period through midlife (age 40). Focus was on evaluating the long-term impacts of perinatal complications, poverty, & adverse childrearing conditions on child development & later-life adjustment. Similar to findings from other longitudinal research, results indicated that perinatal complications were related to serious physical &/or psychological developmental problems only when combined with chronic poverty, parental psychopathology, or poor rearing conditions in the home. Among those at high risk because of these environmental conditions, three clusters of protective factors were identified that prevented adverse developmental outcomes: (1) affectional ties with parental substitutes, (2) at least average intelligence & scholastic competence & positive temperamental attributes, & (3) an external support system, eg, youth or church groups. Follow-up data collected during early adulthood & at midlife are reported, revealing several other factors that helped individuals overcome adverse beginnings in life. Policy implications & recommendations for future research are summarized. 22 References. K. Hyatt Stewart

Using ArcGIS, a sea-level rise inundation comparison was conducted using four different techniques under five sea-level rise conditions for the Kauai, Hawaii, towns of Hanalei Bay, Kapa'a, and Waimea. Sea-level rise was mapped in 0.5 m increments from 0.0 m of rise to 2.0 m of rise. Datasets used in the analysis include a digital elevation model (DEM) layer, wave height data, tidal elevation data, and land cover data. The four techniques illustrating projected inundation serve as a comparison of passive versus dynamic models. The primary goals of this study were to not only compare passive and dynamic sea-level rise inundation models, but also to provide a realistic representation of what future sea-level rise will look like on Kauai, and which areas would be inundated at specific future water surface levels. The results of this analysis can be used to aid Kauai government officials in planning for the future and to aid in prioritizing where and what infrastructure and development will need to be considered before actual sea-level rise impacts occur.

Prior to the United States' (U.S.) illegal occupation of the Hawaiian Kingdom government in 1893 and illegal annexation in 1898, literacy rates and educational attainment in the Hawaiian Kingdom were amongst the highest in the world. In contrast to the educational history of the 19th century, the usurpation of the Hawaiian educational system following the occupation of the U.S. gave way to a century of miseducation and marginalization. Today, more than 130 years after the illegal overthrow of the Hawaiian Kingdom government, the consequences of this event are omnipresent across all sectors of education, including higher education. The downward educational trend correlates with the evolution of the University of Hawaiʻi. This article examines the paradox and the dilemma of the University of Hawaiʻi to become a "Hawaiian Place of Learning" while also fortifying the U.S. occupation of the Hawaiian Islands. This article also highlights possibilities, programming, and philosophies from Native Hawaiian Student Services (NHSS), a co-curricular unit at the University of Hawaiʻi that both responds to the University's refusals and limitations by contextualizing Hawaiian student success in the 21stcentury and by looking back to the Hawaiian educational system of the 19th century as a blueprint for educational interventions today.
