title: Parents: Discipline, punishment and child abuse. A four decade study of child rearing attitudes and practices

authors: Ritchie, Jane

subjects: child abuse

abstract: Child abuse has been very much in the news recently. Each time a child dies because of it, there is much publicity, much media soul-searching, numerous pronouncements from spokespeople but there is little change. Parental use of physical punishment and child abuse are inextricably linked, and the only sure and certain way to save children from abuse is to prevent parents from striking their children (Straus 2000).

title: Synthesis and characterisation of adducts of [Pt₂(μ-S) ₂(PPh₃)₄] with organo-palladium and platinum-hydride substrates

authors: White, Bradley C.

subjects: platinum complexes

abstract: The reactions of [Pt₂(μ-S) ₂(PPh₃)₄] towards a range of palladium(II) complexes containing organometallic ligands (cyclopalladated N-donor ligands, η³-allyl, phenyl) have been explored, leading to the formation of a series of cationic, trinuclear sulfido-bridged aggregates containing {Pt₂PdS₂} cores. [Pt₂(μ-S) ₂(PPh₃)₄] also reacts with the platinum(II) hydride complex trans-[PtHCl(PPh3)₂] giving the adduct [Pt₂(μ-S) ₂ (PPh₃)₄PtH(PPh₃)]+. X-ray crystal structure determinations on the complexes [Pt2(μ-S) ₂ (PPh₃)₄PdPh(PPh₃)]PF₆ and [Pt₂ (μ-S) ₂ (PPh₃)₄PtH(PPh₃)]PF₆ are reported, and show the expected bis μ₃-sulfido aggregates with three square-planar metal centres.

title: Te Mata Ono-The six faces of Māori broadcasting

authors: Kaire-Melbourne, Kimiora

subjects: Māori broadcasting

abstract: Māori have always been involved in media communication and from a traditional viewpoint karanga, whaikōrero, taonga pūoro, haka, waiata and mōteatea are all mediums used to share messages across a mass audience. Since the arrival of European settlers, we have seen Māori content disseminated through platforms such as newspaper, radio, and more recently via the medium of television. This particular study is concerned with the way that Māori are represented and information is shared via indigenous broadcaster, Māori Television. Using a theoretical model made up of six key components, this thesis asserts that Te Mata Ono could not only help to improve the production of Māori content but also reshape and modify the medium of television itself, to become more culturally appropriate. Ultimately, this model could guide Māori Television, outlining a Māori specific approach to broadcasting. This study is one part of a two-part study. Due to the limitations of a four-paper masters thesis, I will only be examining three elements of Te Mata Ono, which are Mata Māori, Mata ō-tua and Mata Pākehā. Another thesis that was conducted simultaneously by Te Aorere Pewhairangi explores the remaining three elements of the same model, Mata Iwi, Mata Ako and Mata Tikanga. Te Mata Ono could be applied to Māori Television, making a positive contribution to the future development of Māori broadcasting.
