title: Chinese international students' experience of studying online in New Zealand.

authors: Earl Rinehart, (Suzanne) Kerry

subjects: eEducation

abstract: Reasons distance students seek online study options include pursuing subjects of interest, taking subjects not available to them locally, or gaining a qualification from an institution of specialisation or reputation. However, when students travel to another country for study, what prompts these students to elect to study online? International students in New Zealand have the opportunity to study online through most tertiary institutions. This paper reports on a research project investigating Chinese graduate students' experience of learning online while in New Zealand, and the impact of culture on their learning. This study highlights the benefits of particular aspects of instructional design and makes recommendations to help eEducation educators maximise the benefits of online learning for international students.

title: Iron(III) complexes of the metalloligand [Pt2(μ-S)2(PPh3)4]

authors: Henderson, William

subjects: Crystal structure

abstract: Reaction of [Pt₂(μ-S)₂(PPh₃) ₄] with (NH₄)₂SO₄•FeSO ₄•6H₂O and 2 mol equivalents of picolinic acid (HPic) or 8-hydroxyquinoline (HQ) and trimethylamine base gives iron(III) adducts [Pt₂(μ-S)₂(PPh₃) ₄FePic2]+ and [Pt₂(μ-S) ₂(PPh₃)₄FeQ₂]+, isolated as hexafluorophosphate salts; these complexes are the first isolated iron(III) derivatives of [Pt₂(μ-S)₂(PPh₃) ₄]. The X-ray structure of [Pt₂(μ-S) ₂(PPh₃)₄FePic2]PF6 shows the presence of a rare distorted trigonal prismatic coordination geometry while magnetic measurements confirm the presence of high-spin iron(III) centres in the complexes.

title: The Treaty, tikanga Māori, ecosystem-based management, mainstream law and power sharing for environmental integrity in Aotearoa New Zealand – possible ways forward

authors: Joseph, Robert

subjects: Maori, ecosystem-based management, coastal marine estate, sustainability, Treaty of Waitangi

abstract: Ecosystem-based management (EBM) has become an appropriate international response for addressing alarming global environmental degradation trends. EBM is designed and executed as an adaptive, learning-based process that applies the following common international principles:
•	the connections and relationships within an ecosystem;
•	the cumulative impacts that affect marine welfare; 
•	focus on maintaining the natural structure and function of ecosystems and their productivity;
•	incorporate human use and values of ecosystems in managing the resource;
•	recognise that ecosystems are dynamic and constantly changing;
•	are based on a shared vision of all key participants; and
•	are based on scientific knowledge, adopted by continual learning and monitoring.

The New Zealand Sustainable Seas National Science Challenge agrees with these EBM principles but has adapted them into an Aotearoa New Zealand theoretical approach that fundamentally acknowledges mātauranga and tikanga Māori law hence the following Aotearoa New Zealand EBM principles:
•	a co-governance and co-design structure that recognises the Māori constitutional relationship and mana whenua at all levels (whānau, hapū, iwi), together with the guiding principles of mauri, whakapapa, kaitiakitanga, mātauranga-a-iwi and mātauranga-a-hapū;
•	is place and time-specific, recognising/understanding the ecosystem as a whole in all its ecological complexities and connectedness and addressing cumulative and multiple stressors;
•	acknowledges humans as ecosystem components with multiple values;
•	views long-term sustainability as a fundamental value, in particular maintaining values and uses for future generations;
•	includes collaborative and participatory management throughout the whole process, considering all values and involving all interested parties from agencies and iwi to industries, whānau, hapū and local communities;
•	has clear goals and objectives based on knowledge; and
•	includes adaptive management, appropriate monitoring and acknowledgement of uncertainty.

The report focuses on analysing EBM through the incorporation of mātauranga and tikanga Māori and power sharing through Treaty partnerships over the marine and coastal estate.
