title: Enhancing coach-parent relationships in youth sports: Increasing harmony and minimizing hassle: A commentary

authors: Pope, Clive C.

subjects: New Zealand

abstract: The “athlete triangle” remains a valuable heuristic to coaches, coach educators and parents. The interactions between coaches, parents and athletes are both mutual and influential. Moreover, the three constituents of the triad are inter-dependent yet the degree of influence, particularly at a social level can vary by situation and across time [1]. Perhaps more importantly it is the status of this triangle that often influences the sport experiences of athletes. Sport often takes on different meanings as young people move from one context to another and from one level to another. As their sporting world unfolds, they establish attitudes and ideas about the values and purposes of participation. The initial playfulness of early games and sport becomes transformed into a more work-like approach at the competitive sport level. It is this type of shift that can see intended benefits and authentic meanings subsumed by some of the negative characteristics of contemporary adult sport forms.

title: Assessment of Apple Juice by Aquaphotomics in a Temperature Dependent Environment

authors: Kaur, Harpreet

abstract: Aquaphotomics and extended multiplicative scatter correction (EMSC) combined with partial least squares regression (PLSR) of near infrared spectra were investigated to predict apple juice brix at different temperatures. Biases reduced to insignificant level.

title: Ka awatea

authors: Levy, Michelle Patricia

abstract: This book realises a long held vision to boldly claim our space in psychology: showing how we as Māori practitioners, researchers, and teachers of psychology realise our belief in the potential of psychology to contribute positively to the lives of our whānau. Celebrating our diversity, while at the same time being drawn together by our commonalities, these pages offer a space where all our contributions can be honoured. Our title, originating from Virginia’s chapter, which in turn originated from a well-known whakataukī, expresses the distinctiveness and beauty of manu Māori who herald the dawn, share stories and who listen to the voices of the universe. Like the manu, our reo expresses our whakaaro and our shared beginnings that unite and connect us across the dimensions of wairua, land, sea and air.
