title: Indigenizing outdoor play in New Zealand: A conversation analysis approach

authors: Bateman, Amanda

abstract: This chapter focuses on a single case analysis of one trip to a local bush reserve in New Zealand. The observations included in this chapter begin by exploring the way in which a promise to the Maori God Tane Mahuta is managed by the teachers and children at the beginning of the excursion. The promise made is part of the mundane, everyday activity engaged in by these children and teachers during their weekly visit to the bush reserve, where every child is required to recite a phrase that promises not to hurt the creatures, animals or plants of Tane Mahuta when they are playing in the forest. In the first of the video-recorded episodes, explicit reference to Tane Mahuta is initially oriented through one of the children reciting the promise, unprompted, at the beginning of the recording. The second observation reveals one of the teachers explaining to a child the rules of entering the forest: that you have to ask permission from Tane Mahuta before you enter. When a child does not want to say the promise, he is encouraged to do so collaboratively with the teacher before entering the forest. Only once the child has said the promise does he enter, demonstrating the importance of the verbal commitment and participation in the accountable action of promise-making by the participants prior to entering the forest.

title: Cultural Justice and Ethics

authors: Nikora, Linda Waimarie

subjects: Maori

abstract: Contains the complete proceedings of the Cultural Justice and Ethics symposium held within the Annual Conference of the New Zealand Psychological Society, Wellington, 23rd-24th August, 1993. The responsibility for ensuring that the discipline of psychology is culturally just, is not only that of Maori or some other non-dominant group - the responsibility belongs to all involved in psychology. This collection of papers is about questioning and challenging the psychology that has been adopted from other settings. It is about nurturing and valuing the development of local and indigenous psychologies. It is about developing psychological tools and methods of application that are culturally compatible. It is an invitation to become excited about and instrumental in building a profession and practice in Aotearoa, for Aotearoa.

title: The antibacterial properties of honey

authors: Russell, Kathryn Mary

subjects: honey

abstract: Honey has been used medicinally by man for thousands of years. With the apparent misuse of many antibiotics there has recently been renewed interest in such natural antibacterial substances. 
Honey is known to contain several natural antibiotic systems but research so far has been largely confined to the glucose oxidase (inhibine) area. Some past research, however, has indicated the possible existence of anti­bacterial substances other than hydrogen peroxide (inhibine) and the osmotic potential of honey. The aim of this project was to confirm the existence of these substances and to isolate and characterise them if possible. 
The antibacterial assay used to detect activity was an agar diffusion technique incorporating staphylococcus aureus. 
Various honey samples were screened for non-peroxide antibacterial activity and the most active honey (manuka) selected for further investigation. 
The activity was found to be completely heat-stable (1 hr, 95 °C) at acidic pH but less stable at neutral pH, and the honey was less active at neutral pH. 
Solvent extraction of the honey was carried out with ethanol, and ether was added to precipitate most of the sugar. All activity was recovered from the honey into the extract in this way. Further isolation of the active fractions was carried out using preparative thin-layer chromatography.
Information on the fractions with activity that were isolated was obtained by ultraviolet spectroscopy, infra­red spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance and mass spectrometry.
