title: Valuing biodiversity enhancement in New Zealand

authors: Yao, Richard

subjects: biodiversity

abstract: The value of biodiversity enhancement in New Zealand was estimated from a survey sample of 457 residents. We determined the willingness of respondents to financially support biodiversity programs on private and public lands, as well as determining which factors influence this willingness-to-pay. Our data indicates that an average respondent was willing-to-pay $42 (2007 NZD) annually in their rates (taxes) to support a government initiated private land biodiversity programme and $82 (2007 NZD) annually to support a biodiversity programme on public lands.

title: The Structure Of Hexa-O-acetyl-α-D-fructofuranose-β-d-fructofuranose 1,2':2,6'-Dianhydride

authors: Manley-Harris, Merilyn

subjects: Difructose dianhydride

abstract: The crystal structure of 3,4,6,1',3'4'-hexa-O-acetyl-α-D-fructofuranose-β-D-fructofuranose
1,2':2,6'-dianhydride, 1, has been determined. The central, eight-membered
1,3,6-trioxacane ring is in a twist-boat-chair conformation. Molecular modeling has
shown that this conformation is inherent and not due to crystal packing forces and is
also the most likely conformation present in underivatized α-D-fructofuranose-β-D-fructofuranose
1,2':2,6'-dianhydride.

title: Kia Maanu, Kia Ora: Stay Afloat, Stay Alive – Acknowledging the significance of tikanga Māori in formulating and communicating water safety policies and practices

authors: Haimona, Mark

subjects: New Zealand

abstract: The traditional beliefs and practices of Māori demonstrate great respect for water, for its dangers as well as its life-giving properties, and Māori have, along with other Polynesian peoples, been known for their skill in swimming, fishing and canoeing. However, Māori now outnumber others in New Zealand in terms of the proportion involved in drowning and water-related injury. In seeking to promote water safety among Māori, Water Safety New Zealand has enlisted the help of Māori communities. Its message - Kia Maanu, Kia Ora (Stay Afloat, Stay Alive) - is underpinned by an acknowledgment of the need to reinforce the traditional respect for water that permeates the Māori worldview.
