title: Insanity, gender and empire: women living a 'loose kind of life' on the colonial institutional margins, 1870-1910

authors: Coleborne, Catharine

subjects: Insanity

abstract: This article examines how female immigrants were characterised inside the Yarra Bend Asylum in Melbourne, Victoria (Hospital for the Insane after 1905), once they slipped into the world of the institutionally ‘hidden.’ Forms of social difference inside colonial institutions for the insane were embedded in patient case records. This article argues that through a closer examination of cases of female immigrants, we might find out more about gender relations in colonial situations. In particular, this article returns to ideas about women patients and constructions of these women through case records to uncover new interpretations of this material in the Australasian context. To do this, it sets out specific ways of reading patient cases and teases out the importance of these frameworks for making some kind of synthesis of the ways in which institutionalised people—already at the margins of society—were further marginalised inside institutional populations through specific practices. It examines immigrant women in the hospitals for the insane; the cases of women designated as living so-called ‘loose’ lives who also ended up inside the institution for the insane; and finally, concludes with a commentary about the descriptive power of cases and the production of concepts of gender, class, and race difference within their pages.

title: Hydrogen bonding in hydroxymethylphosphine chalcogenides

authors: Goodwin, Nicholas J.

subjects: Crystal structures

abstract: Hydrogen bonding in the phosphine chalcogenide series Ph2P(X)CH2OH (X=O, 1; S, 2; Se, 3) has been investigated by single crystal X-ray crystallography. While the phosphine oxide exhibits a dimer motif, the sulfide and selenide form infinite chains; in all cases hydrogen bonding is from the OH group to the phosphine chalcogenide heteroatom. The trend in the hydrogen bond angle for OH X-P, which is 117, 87 and 84° for the oxide, sulfide and selenide, respectively, is explained with respect to the geometry of electron density on the phosphine chalcogenide heteroatom.

title: Maori perspectives of the environment: A review of Environment Waikato iwi environmental management plans.

authors: Whangapirita, Laura

subjects: Maori

abstract: The purpose of this report is to gather, summarise, analyse and distribute information held by Environment Waikato on Maori and the environment. To achieve this we evaluated and summarised the Ngaati Te Ata Iwi Policy Statement, Iwi Environmental management Plans and iwi contributions made toward the Proposed Waikato Regional Plan (1998) using a Maori values framework. This report has been prepared to contribute towards developing a resource for Environment Waikato’s Strategic Plan Review Teams. The report itself refers to values and beliefs sourced from iwi documents held by Environment waiakto and are presented using a Maori values framework providing the reader with an introduction to the environmental perspectives of tangat whenua in  the Waikato region.
