Democratic Dialogue and Development: An Intellectual Obituary of Björn Gustavsen
2018
Abstract Bjorn Gustavsen, with an original professional background as a lawyer and judge in his native Norway, had a formative role in organisational development processes in Norway, Sweden, Scandinavia and the European Union over four decades. Following in the tradition of Norwegian working life research by Trist and Thorsrud, he provided the conceptual framework and practical case studies which have driven major national and international programmes. He learned from different experience of organisational change in, for example, the USA and Japan, but he identified a distinctive way forward for the European Union, where he acted as a senior adviser. In contrast to conventional Taylorist to…
Una asociación peculiar de fusulinas en las calizas de Tanes, sección de Campo de Caso (Pensilvánico, Moscoviense superior; zona Cantábrica, España)
2021
The Campo de Caso section (eastern part of the Cantabrian Zone, NW Spain) exposes a middle to upper Moscovian (Middle Pennsylvanian) succession, up to 3500-m thick, consisting of marine shelfal and deltaic siliciclastic and shale deposits with numerous intercalated fossiliferous limestones. A limestone outcropping in the upper part of this section, close to the village of Tanes, has yielded a fusuline assemblage composed of species of the genera Eostaffella, Pseudonovella, Ozawainella, Pseudostaffella, Neostaffella, Schubertella, Fusiella, Taitzehoella, Fusulinella, Beedeina and Putrella . The specific composition of these genera, considered as a whole, indicates an early to mid- Myachkov…
Les ostracodes paleogenes du Togo: Taxonomie, biostratigraphie, apports dans l'organisation et l'évolution du bassin
1989
Paleogene ostracodes (P5 to P9/P10) from Togo include 59taxonomic units in several wells and one outcrop (Tabligbo). One new genus: Afranticythereis and eight new species are erected: Actinocythereis lomensis, Buntonia klologoensis, Buntonia parasemitecta, Hermanites regulosa, Leguminocythereis isobopaensis, Paraplatycosia dinglei, Poularia neokoldaensis, Soudanella seddohi.. The vertical succession of ecological zones ECO1 to ECO5 is related to a rythmic sequence: open facies followed by a restricted one. The first two (Upper Paleocene/Lower Eocene boundary) are equivalent to the ecological zone Z1 recognized from Mauritania to Guinea. The next two (ECO3/ECO4: Lower/Middle Eocene) should b…
Sucesión de Polygnátidos (Conodontos) del Emsiense (Devónico Inferior) en los Pirineos Centrales Españoles
2011
A comprehensive conodont study of five sections of Emsian age, carried out in the Spanish Central Pyrenees, has revealed an important succession of polygnathids that can be used for identifying basal boundaries of globally recognized biozones. This succession consists of Polygnathus excavatus excavatus, Po. gronbergi, Po. nothoperbonus, Po. mashkovae, Po. laticostatus, and the new species Polygnathus luciae that allows the identification of the excavatus, nothoperbonus and laticostatus Zones. The nothoperbonus Zone is further subdivided into Lower and Upper nothoperbonus subzones, relying upon the lowest occurrence of Po. mashkovae. These biostratigraphic data from the Spanish Central Pyren…
Great tit (Parus major) breeding in fire-prone oak woods: differential effects of post-fire conditions on reproductive stages
2011
Wildfires negatively affect the overall reproductive success of several woodland avian species, but there is scarce information about which stages of the nesting cycle are specifically affected. We conducted a 3-year study to identify the effects of fire on the reproductive parameters of the great tit (Parus major) and the survival of its nests at different stages of the nesting cycle. We recorded the occupancy rate, clutch and brood size, hatching, fledging and nesting success in nest boxes placed on study plots with different post-fire age. By examining the post-fire succession, we analysed the survival of eggs and nestlings under predation risks. As the forest matured after a wildfire, …
Relationship between the seed rain and the establishment of vegetation in two areas abandoned after peat harvesting
1987
In this study the number and species composition of diaspores dispersing into two newly abandoned peat harvesting areas in Finland were investigated. In an area abandoned six years earlier a total of 2978 living seeds m−2, representing 18 species, was captured by using water-filled traps during two summers. In a one-year-old succession area the total number of living seeds m−2 was 2241, representing 16 plant species. The soil seed banks were found to be empty of viable seeds. In neither area there appeared to be any relation between number of dispersing seeds and of plant individuals of the same species in the pioneer vegetation. It is suggested that unfavourable conditions on the soil surf…
Methanotrophy induces nitrogen fixation during peatland development
2013
Significance In peatlands, the external sources of nitrogen are mainly atmospheric, but the atmospheric nitrogen deposition alone cannot explain the long-term annual nitrogen accumulation rates to these ecosystems. Because of methodological problems, methane-induced fixation of atmospheric dinitrogen gas has been previously overlooked as an additional nitrogen input mechanism. We found that the activity of methane-oxidizing bacteria provides not only carbon but also nitrogen to peat mosses and, thus, contributes to carbon and nitrogen accumulation in peatlands, which store approximately one-third of the global soil carbon pool. Our results imply that nitrogen fixation in wetlands may be str…

Versos para Felipe V: teatro y propaganda borbónica en Peñíscola durante la Guerra de Sucesión Española
2019
El propòsit del present treball és analitzar el contingut propagandístic de l’obra de teatre amb el títol de Comedia famosa en que se representa el asedio o sitio de Peñíscola, que versa sobre el cerco a eixa fortalesa valenciana (desembre de 1705 a maig de 1707) durant la Guerra de Successió. Como esdevé en altres textos propis de la publicística borbònica, la finalitat adoctrinadora de l’obra es concentra en la legitimació de Felipe V mitjançant la identificació de la seua causa con la de la Providència, així com en la crítica a l’arxiduc Carles i els seus aliats, en un context de pugna por l’opinió entre los dos bàndols. Al mateix temps, la peça va servir de pretext per la construcció d’…
