title: Further pterocellins from the New Zealand marine bryozoan Pterocella vesiculosa

authors: Prinsep, Michèle R.

subjects: pterocellins

abstract: Four new alkaloids, pterocellins C−F (1–4), have been isolated from the New Zealand marine bryozoan Pterocella vesiculosa. Structural elucidation was achieved through NMR spectroscopic and mass spectrometric analysis and comparison of spectroscopic data with that of the known compounds pterocellins A and B. The biological activities of 1–4 were assessed in a number of different assay systems and compared with those of pterocellins A and B.

title: The value of native birds in New Zealand: Results of a Waikato Survey

authors: Kaval, Pamela

subjects: contingent valuation

abstract: Several New Zealand studies have placed a value on recreation. Very few have placed a value on native birdlife. In December 2007 and January 2008, we conducted a phone survey in the Waikato Region of New Zealand. 207 people answered 13 questions on native birds. 97% of respondents enjoy having birds in their area both listening and watching. The Tui is the most important bird respondents either see currently or would like to see. If there were a greater variety of bird types in their area, respondent well-being would increase significantly. Most respondents would be willing to pay an extra amount in their annual rates to support native bird projects within the Waikato Region.

title: Prismatic storying: Making visible multi coloured codes

authors: Stuart, Margaret J.

abstract: Language is a casement into cultures' deepest meanings. As children acquire languages, they implicitly adopt the mores of people around them; read the symbols, artefacts and codes. In this article, we examine the importance of language and literacy in the early childhood curriculum Te Whariki: He Whariki Matauranga mo nga Mokopuna o Aotearoa/Early Childhood Curriculum (Ministry of Education, 1996). The focus of the article is on literacy from a bicultural perspective. Adults support children in finding out about both their social and physical worlds. They use their 'imaginations to explore their own and others' identities' (MoE, 1996, p. 25). Our aim is to offer teachers in mainstream early childhood centres (ECE) strategies to apply, practise and situate literacy approaches that reflect Te Ao Maori through stories reflecting symbolic representations of people, places and things.
