title: Isolation from Rhizobium of factors which transfer electrons to soybean nitrogenase

authors: Phillips, D.A.

subjects: Rhizobium japonicum

abstract: Rhizobium japonicum grown anaerobically with nitrate produced several factors capable of transferring electrons from spinach chloroplasts lacking photosystem II to soybean root nodule nitrogenase. The same organism grown aerobically produced no factors with detectable activity. It is concluded that the bacterium is potentially capable of producing these proteins in the low oxygen conditions of the leguminous root nodule.

title: Gender affirming or disenfranchised grief? Considering death rights in Aotearoa New Zealand

authors: Schott, Gareth R.

subjects: decolonising death

abstract: The pre-colonial Māori world treated variety in gender and sexual expression in an accepting and encompassing manner (Te Awekotuku, et al. 2005; Aspin and Hutchings 2007). Among the many negative health implications of colonialism for Māori, it is acknowledged that “tangata takatāpui [LGBTQ+ people] moved from a social and cultural situation where minority stress was simply not a factor … to one where it has become a key force in the negative health outcomes they experience” (Stevens 2016, 15). This chapter acknowledges how death can generate ‘ownership battles’ over the deceased, resulting in members of the LGBTQ+ community, receiving final farewells that have been unrepresentative, or a reversal of the freedom to self-determine identity. We reflect on how death rights for takatāpui individuals is a human and cultural right in the context of Aotearoa New Zealand. In doing so, it calls for an extension of the principles of the Māori health framework Te Pae Māhutonga currently being applied in advocation of gender affirming health research and practice conducted in Aotearoa New Zealand (Veale et al. 2019). This chapter reconsiders how we understand ‘templated’ rituals and death rites by introducing the challenges of a more responsive and gender affirming parting.
