title: Nucleophilicity of the selenide ligands in [Pt₂(μ-Se)₂ (PPh₃)₄]. Molecular assembly of a novel {In₂Pt₄Se₆} core

authors: Yeo, Jeremy S.L.

subjects: chemistry

abstract: Lewis basic Pt₂(μ-Se)₂(PPh₃)₄reacts with In(ClO₄)₃ to give a rare platinum–indium selenido aggregate, {[Pt₂(μ₃-Se₂)₂(PPh₃)₄]₂In₂(μ-Se)₂}{ClO₄}₂. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis revealed a hexametallic framework supported by a planar {In₂Se₂} square sandwiched by two {Pt₂Se₂} hinged butterfly moieties. This structure resembles that of the semiconducting anion [(Ga₆Se₁₄)10⁻] by having a common double-tetrahedra {M₂Se₆} core. The planar {M₂Se₂} ring also exists in other semiconductors like In4Se3 and TlSe.

title: The relationship between well-being and wildfire

authors: Kaval, Pamela

subjects: well-being evaluation method

abstract: In this study, the well-being evaluation method, a technique for measuring individual utility, was used to study how people in the wildland urban interface of Colorado (USA) felt about their lives before and after two hypothetical wildfire scenarios. Variables such as age, family size, fire frequency, and property value were found to affect initial well-being levels. However, if a wildfire were to occur, many variables that initially affected well-being were no longer significant. It was found that after wildfire, the frequency of wildfire occurrence became the most important influence on well-being. These results have several implications for wildfire managers. First, the well-being of Colorado wildland urban interface residents would be enhanced by a reduction in the frequency of high-intensity wildfires. Secondly, an extremely high percentage of respondents were in favor of prescribed burning. Therefore, the reduction of high-intensity fires could not only be accomplished by conducting a rotation of prescribed fires, but that prescribed burning would be accepted by the public living in the wildland urban interface.

title: A survey of psychologists’ opinions and behaviours on aspects of Maori mental health

authors: Sawrey, Richard

subjects: Maori

abstract: In the majority of settings where psychologists work, particularly in State health and justice settings, Maori people are substantially over represented relative to their numbers in the general population (Durie, 1987). This situation has raised serious questions about the adequacy of both mental health services and professionals in their provision of appropriate services for Maori people. (Hui Whakaoranga, 1984; Durie, 1985). Recommendations have been given to address these deficiencies. Te Hui Whakaoranga (l984) recommended a recruitment programme for Maori into health professions and training for health workers in Maori culture. The Committee of Inquiry into Procedures used in Psychiatric Hospitals (1988) pointed out that health professionals are rarely educated in taha Maori or the application of taha Maori to the service they provide. They stated that many current training programmes create a barrier to Maori people entering the health professions. They recommended that changes occur in both the in - service and basic training of health professionals.
