title: The Waikato River settlement: Exploring a model for co-management and protection of natural and cultural resources

authors: Te Aho, Linda

abstract: This presentation explores co-management regimes in Aotearoa, including the framework established under the Waikato River Settlement, which mandates the protection and restoration of the river’s health and well being for present and future generations.

title: National Maori and Pacific psychologies symposium: Claiming spaces

authors: Levy, Michelle Patricia

subjects: Maori

abstract: In 2002 the Maori and Psychology Research Unit made a valuable contribution to the  teaching and practice of psychology in Aotearoa via the two day Maori Graduates of Psychology Symposium: Making a Difference. Mid-way through 2006, our collective memories of the hard work in 2002  diminished, so much so that we once again considered hosting a similar event. Building on the foundations laid in 2002, the theme of the 2007 symposium was "Claiming Spaces", with our focus expanding to include peoples of the Pacific. This theme reflected that the time had come for Maori and Pacific Psychologies to move from the margins and claim legitimate space within psychology. It recognized that here in Aotearoa we have the potential to be pioneers in the development of psychologies relevant and applicable to Maori and Pacific peoples, and to better understand what science, culture and practice means when indigenous and cultural world views are prioritised. It was an inclusive theme, with the programme comprising presentations led by Maori and Pacific psychologists, graduates of psychology and psychology students. These presentations reflected on and made connections to the theme of "Claiming Spaces".

title: Synthesis and characterization of new trimetallic complexes with {Pt₂Au(μ-S) ₂} ⁿ⁺ (n=2, 3) cores containing C, N and N, N donor ligands

authors: White, Bradley C.

subjects: Biological activity

abstract: Reactions of the dinuclear platinum(II) sulfide complex [Pt ₂(μ-S) ₂(PPh ₃) ₄] with a range of gold(III) dichloride complexes [AuLCl ₂] containing C, N- or N, N-cycloaurated ligands L gives a new series of dicationic adducts [Pt ₂(μ-S) ₂(PPh ₃) ₄AuL] ²⁺, isolated as their PF ₆ - salts. The complexes investigated are [Au{C₆₋H ₄(CH ₂NMe ₂)-2}Cl ₂], [Au{C ₆H ₃(CH ₂NMe ₂)-2-(OMe)-5}Cl ₂], [Au{NC ₅H ₄(CH ₂C ₆H ₄)-2}Cl ₂], [Au{NC ₅H ₄(COC ₆H ₄)-2}Cl ₂] and [Au{NC ₅H ₄(CONH)-2}Cl ₂]. An X-ray structure determination on the picolinamide-derived complex [Pt ₂(μ-S) ₂(PPh ₃) ₄Au{NC ₅H ₄(CONH)-2}](PF₆) ₂ was not of sufficiently high quality for detailed discussion, but confirmed the atom connectivity. Reactions of [Pt ₂(μ-S) ₂(PPh ₃) ₄] with [AuCl ₂(bipy)]PF ₆ (L=bipy=2,2'-bipyridine) and [AuCl ₂(phen)]Cl (L=phen=1,10-phenanthroline) gives the corresponding tricationic adducts [Pt ₂(μ-S) ₂(PPh ₃) ₄AuL] ³⁺, also isolated as their PF ₆⁻ salts. The complexes are characterised by NMR spectroscopy, electrospray mass spectrometry and microelemental analyses. Biological assay data of a selection of these new complexes towards the P388 murine leukemia cell line, as well as a range of antimicrobial tests, reveals overall low activity compared to other cycloaurated gold(III) complexes.
