Graphis tetralocularis, a new lichen with four-celled ascospores from tropical Africa
No full textGraphis tetralocularis C. Bock & Hauck is described as a new species from Rwanda. It is characterized by triseptate, hyaline ascospores 12-15(-17) x 5-7(.)5 mu m, a connivent, laterally carbonized exciple and by the presence of atranorin. So far, G. tetralocularis is only known from the type locality in central Africa, where it grows epiphytically on Nuxia floribunda in a dry forest

Der Kampf gegen die Irrlehre als „Krieg“
No full textAbstract In 1 Tim 1, particularly in vv. 18–20, the author of the letter uses a cluster of terms that evoke the image of “Timothy” engaged in a military campaign. Along these lines, the verb ἀπωθέοµαι (v. 19) activates the mental picture of a previous struggle or clash through which one party (the τινες ) has been disadvantaged. This article seeks to identify the leading metaphors that the author summons in 1 Tim 1, to scrutinize the concepts that he employs for creating these metaphors, and to describe the set of relations that enables a coherent understanding of 1 Tim 1 in general and 1:18–20 in particular. In addition, this article examines how these metaphors are embedded in the wider framework of 1 Tim 1–6 and integrated into the author’s struggle against a false teaching circulating in the Ephesian ekklesia
Site factors controlling epiphytic lichen abundance in northern coniferous forests
No full textEpiphytic lichens are an important part of the vegetation of northern coniferous forests of Eurasia and North America. Much progress has been made during recent decades at disentangling relevant site factors, which control the diversity and distribution of epiphytic lichens in boreal and oroboreal forests. The present paper aims at summarizing the present state of knowledge. Relevant site factors include the microclimate, nutrient supply, structural diversity and, if applicable, air pollution. The continuity of site conditions decides over the presence of species with dispersal limitations. The effects of fire on epiphytic lichens are largely unstudied, although fire is an important ecological factor in boreal forests. (C) 2010 Elsevier GmbH. All rights reserved
Susceptibility to acidic precipitation contributes to the decline of the terricolous lichens Cetraria aculeata and Cetraria islandica in central Europe
No full textThe effective quantum yield of photochemical energy conversion in photosystem II (Phi(2)) was shown to be reduced in the terricolous lichens Cetraria aculeata and Cetraria islandica by short-term exposure to aqueous SO2 at pH values occurring in the precipitation of areas with high SO2 pollution. Significant reduction of Phi(2) was found at pH <= 3.3. At pH 2.8, Phi(2) was close to zero and did not recover within 24 h. This suggests that sensitivity to SO2 (primarily associated with epiphytic lichens in the past) has contributed to the decline of both species in central Europe. In C. islandica, but not in C. aculeata, thalli with the natural content of lichen substances were more tolerant to SO2 than thalli where the extracellular lichen substances were extracted before the experiment. This supports published results that the depsidone fumarprotocetraric acid, a major lichen substance of C. islandica, increases the pollution tolerance in lichens. (c) 2007 Elsevier Ltd.

Health mobility: implications for efficiency and equity in priority setting
No full textAdverse Health mobility is a statistical measure of inter-temporal fluctuations in health of a group of individuals. Increased availability of panel data has led to a number of studies which analyse and compare health mobility across subgroups. Mobility can differ systematically across patient subgroups, even if prevalence measured at one point in time is the same. There is a lack of discussion regarding whether health mobility is a relevant concept for resource allocation decisions. In this think piece, we explore whether and how health mobility is incorporated in cost-effectiveness analysis (CEA). CEA takes health mobility into account where it matters in terms of efficiency and -depending on treatment programs- either favours groups with low mobility or gives equal priority to groups of differing levels of mobility. However, CEA fails to take into account the equity dimension of mobility. There is qualitative research to suggest that some members of the public find that patient groups with low health mobility should be given priority even if some efficiency was sacrificed. Results also indicate that this may depend on the nature of the condition, the actual lengths involved and the magnitude of the efficiency sacrifice. Health mobility may also have political implications which affect resource allocation decisions, possibly in opposing directions. Further research is required to investigate the extent to which the public is concerned with health mobility, to determine conditions for which health mobility matters most, and to explore ways of how the equity dimension of health mobility can be incorporated into CEA.Health mobility, health dynamics, panel data, resource allocation, cost effectiveness analysis, equity
