title: Description and analysis of an intentional community called McFarlane's Farm

authors: McNeill, Roger Bruce Colonsay

abstract: The purpose of this thesis is to provide a description and analysis of an intentional community. It contrasts individual's intentions with their obvious* behaviour and endeavours to understand how and why this behaviour is not simply a consequence of these intentions, but is modified further by the individual's cultural background, i.e. values, sentiments, life styles and continuing social relationships . In the conclusion, I offer some practical suggestions ar1s1ng out of my experience which may help others who decide to lead a communal life or undertake action research on intentional communities. Definition of the “Intentional Community"

title: Removal of flatulence causing sugars in soymilk

authors: Rajan, Anila

subjects: Alpha -galactosidase

abstract: The enzyme, alpha-galactosidase was extracted from peanuts using various buffers
and solvents. The specific activity of soluble preparation of peanut ranged from
0.0083 to 0.0606 U/mg. Phosphate buffer extract showed the maximum specific
activity of 0.0606 U/mg. The soluble alpha-galactosidase was immobilised in calcium
alginate beads and the specific activity of the immobilized enzyme was found to
be 0.0808 U/mg. Activity yield was 33%. The immobilised enzyme showed
increase in activity compared with the soluble enzyme above 35 C. The thermal
stability of the immobilised alpha-galactosidase was significantly improved in
comparison to the soluble form. The effect of different pH depicts that at acidic
pH the activity of the immobilised alpha-galactosidase was higher than that of the
soluble enzyme. The Km and Vmax for immobilised enzyme was higher when
compared with the soluble enzyme. Immobilised alpha-galactosidase retained 20%
activity after 7 repeated uses. The immobilised enzyme exhibited high storage
stability. The immobilised enzyme was used in batch and continuous packed bed
reactors for the hydrolysis of stachyose and raffinose in soymilk. Flatulence
causing raffinose and stachyose, after hydrolysis, was removed to a remarkable
extent. Hydrolysis of flatulence causing oligosaccharides of soymilk in a
continuous packed bed reactor has not been attempted previously.

title: Indigenous psychology in Aotearoa/New Zealand and Australia

authors: Waitoki, Waikaremoana

subjects: Psychology

abstract: In Aotearoa/New Zealand and Australia, the development of Indigenous psychology is a response to the resilience of a colonised people, where the gaze of Western imperialism is ever present. The use of esoteric, ceremonial, environmental, and relational knowledge is included to counter balance the individualism inherent in mainstream psychology. Across both countries, connections to ancestors, land, language, customs and relationships are important. Dudgeon’s Social and Emotional Wellbeing model offers a transformative lens for addressing the significant disparities that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples’ experience. While Māori wellbeing includes healthy relationships between physical, psychological, community, spirituality and environment domains. The chapter promotes a reclamation of Indigenous knowledge systems that, if not protected and promoted, could be lost from their cultural home.
