title: Rubidium-templated bowl-shaped isopolyoxoantimonates [RbH₁₁˗ₓ(RSb)₁₄O₃₄]ₓ˗ derived from arylstibonic acids

authors: Nicholson, Brian K.

subjects: Polyoxometalates

abstract: Arylstibonic acids, RSbO₃H₂ (R = p-MeC₆H₄- or p-ClC₆H₄-) when neutralised in the presence of Rb⁺ give isopolyoxometalates derived from [RbH₁₁(RSb) ₁₄O₃₄]. The X-ray crystal structures of four examples were determined and all gave the same basic framework with a bowl-shaped Sb14 polyhedron cradling the Rb⁺ in an 11-coordinate embrace. All were further linked into chains in the lattice by an intermolecular interaction involving a second Rb⁺, coordinated to three O atoms of one polyoxometalate and to an aryl group of an adjacent unit via an η⁶ interaction. One example has the same basic structure but with one framework O atom replaced by a Br.

title: Like Status Sells: A Field Study of Belief Congruence

authors: Stringfield, Paul Anthony

abstract: A test of Rokeach's (1960) theory of belief congruence with 53 life insurance salesmen strongly supports the validity of the theory. The theory was generalized beyond the pencil and paper test situations to behaviour representative of real life settings. Afield study technique was used and the experiment investigated the effect that the principle of belief congruence would have on life assurance salesmen and clients of similar background, attitudes and values, as compared with salesmen and clients of differing backgrounds, when selling life assurance. The results revealed that salesmen sold significantly more life assurance to clients of similar background or occupational groups to themselves than to dissimilar occupational groups. Also, the results revealed that salesmen holding a particular occupational rank would sell significantly more life assurance below their occupational rank than above it.

title: Street health: Practitioner service provision for Maori homeless people in Auckland

authors: Nikora, Linda Waimarie

abstract: Drawing insights from interviews with Maori homeless people, health professionals, and relevant local and international literatures, this chapter focuses on the provision of medical care to homeless people. In particular, we propose that health services orientate to accommodate the worldviews and circumstances of Maori homeless people. Below we consider colonialism and societal developments that have led to homelessness among Maori today. We then present a case study of ‘Grant’, which was compiled from common aspects of various Maori homeless people who access health services at the Auckland City Mission (ACM); an organisation with a long history of catering to the needs and hopes of dispossessed groups, providing food, clothing, advocacy, social and health services. The relational orientation of healthcare at the ACM is discussed, and leads to an exploration of ‘judgement-free service space’ for meeting client needs (cf., Trussell & Mair, 2010). Lastly, we focus on how health professionals can respond to the multiple healthcare needs of Maori homeless people, in partnership with social services.
