title: A new journal for a new era

authors: Krägeloh, Christian U.

abstract: It is with great excitement and anticipation that we introduce the inaugural issue of the Journal of Psychology and AI. In this period in history where the pace of technological advancements is rapidly transforming every facet of human life, a journal dedicated to the implications of artificial intelligence (AI) for psychology and human behaviour is not only timely but essential.

title: Platinum(II) complexes containing ferrocene-derived phosphonate ligands; synthesis, structural characterisation and antitumour activity

authors: Henderson, William

subjects: chemistry

abstract: Platinum ferrocenyl–phosphonate complexes, containing four-membered Pt---O---P(O)---O rings, have been synthesised by the reactions of cis-[PtCl₂(PPh₃)₂] with the ferrocene-derived phosphonic acids Fc(CH₂)nP(O)(OH)₂(n=0–2) [Fc=(η⁵-C₅H₄)Fe(η⁵-C₅H₅)] and 1,1′-Fc′[P(O)(OH)₂]₂ [Fc′=Fe(η⁵-C₅H₄)₂] in the presence of Ag₂O. The complexes have been characterised by NMR spectroscopy, together with crystal structure determinations on [Fc(CH₂)nPO₃Pt(PPh₃)₂] (n=1, 2) and [1,1′-Fc′{PO₃Pt(PPh₃)₂}₂]. The complexes [Fc(CH₂)nPO₃Pt(PPh₃)₂] (n=1, 2) show moderate activity against P388 leukaemia cells, whereas the parent phosphonic acids are inactive.

title: Huri whakatau: The call for Māori software requirements elicitation

authors: Brown, Tamahau

abstract: It is essential to consider specifications and design when examining the requirements for new software for stakeholders and software engineers. The Huri Whakatau project investigates current relevant requirements and design techniques to understand the Māori (Indigenous people of Aotearoa) demographic to identify any relevant gaps for examining requirements.

The process has been tested by investigating existing internationally accepted groups and their methodologies to attempt to adapt a new methodology for Māori groups. In the context of the research, an accepted group is defined as a group which is not from a developing country or Indigenous group. The research was able to identify three untested methodologies; this involved conducting an empirical study as a part of the experiment. The decision was to transform the internationally accepted soft systems methodology (SSM) with groups in a user study. Comparing previously recorded satisfaction using the technique and the use of Māori techniques determined that SSM would be the strongest candidate. When testing SSM with participants, overall, there was a higher level of satisfaction with Māori participants using the new proposed adapted Māori approach as opposed to the internationally accepted groups.
