Nineteen species of the genus Caloplaca from Australia are described and illustrated: eight species (namely: C. bermaguiana, C. conranii, C. filsonii, C. gallowayi, C. kiamae, C. eos, C. tomareeana and C. whinrayi) mainly occur in coastal localities; further eight species (C. aliciae, C. astonii, C. australiensis, C. haematommona, C. marchantii, C. montisfracti, C. rheinigera, and C. streimannii)

This chapter argues for the importance for basic areas knowledge in group psychology as prerequisites for supervisors working in group formats. The tasks of the supervisor are divided into a) task related work, b) maintenance work, c)individuallly oriented work and d) organizational work. The unique charactistics of supervision groups are discussed. A number of useful models concerning group forma

By using examples of European meetings with indigenous Mi‟kmaq in the Atlantic provinces of Canada in the early 17th century, I will show how the concept of wilderness was employed as a key metaphor for establishing the moral right and duty of Europeans to colonize the land, reorganizing the nomadic hunters in settled communities and remaking the mobile nature of the “savage” in the image of a cul

The technical development in complex and highly automated production processes affects the process operator’s work and the demands on the operator. Two significant problems are difficulties in acquiring and maintaining the necessary competence and a risk of understimulation, since a stable process does not generate many active tasks, largely because of a higher degree of automation. In this case s

Ecologists have often compared ecological communities in different areas, for example on different continents. The main interest is that the communities might be more similar in the characters of their species than expected under a null model of random species assortment. We suggest that such a null model should be based only on the species observed across the samples. Species-level convergence an

In this thesis, different aspects of failure management in urban water supply systems are discussed. As assets are getting older, the number of pipe failures is increasing and an efficient failure management strategy becomes important. Two types of failure management strategies can be applied: proactive asset condition assessment and reactive failure detection and location. Currently available con

The concept of historical consciousness has been central in didactic research since the early 1990’s. It has been focused in Swedish history curricula, especially since 1994. Historical consciousness has mostly been used on a macro-level as a theoretical framework. This study aims to analyze whether Swedish history textbooks for lower secondary school have articulated contexts that may develop his

Popular Abstract in Swedish Non-invasiv kartläggning och klinisk implementering av det flimrande förmakets cykellängd, samt hur dylik cykellängd kan moduleras av autonoma nervsystemet och farmakologisk intervention Bakgrund Kroniskt förmaksflimmer är den vanligaste ihållande hjärtrytmrubbningen. Cirka 100.000 individer beräknas ha kroniskt förmaksflimmer i Sverige idag. Förmaksflimmer är vanligaAim: To non-invasively detect and explore the changes in atrial fibrillatory cycle length (i.e. changes in the atrial refractory period) in humans with chronic atrial fibrillation (CAF) following autonomic modulation and pharmacological intervention. Furthermore we investigated if the value of the atrial fibrillatory cycle length could predict outcome following DC-cardioversion. Methods: The stud
