Polish Photographer Jan Malisz about Carl Larsson
No full textIn 1912 the Warsaw newspaper “The Illustrated Weekly” published an article about the Swedish painter Carl Larsson (1853–1919). The author of this text was a Polish Photographer, polyglot and art connoisseur Jan Malisz (1878–1928), who initiated the professional movement of photographers in Galicia. In 1908, he founded a branch of the Austrian Union of Photographers in Cracow, and in 1909, in Lviv. His artistic horizons also encompassed Scandinavian art, one of whose representatives was Carl Larsson. Malisz noticed in his paintings certain features which, after many years, have let Larsson and his wife Karin be recognised in Europe as the precursors of Swedish model manufacture and interior design. The phenomenon of the accuracy of Malisz’s remark results from the fact that he was Larsson’s friend for many years. The spiritual understanding between the Swede and the Pole was neither impeded by a significant age difference nor by their different political views, as Malisz was a socialist, whereas Larsson supported absolutism. The letters from Malisz to Larsson are kept in the University Library in Uppsala.W 1912 roku warszawski „Tygodnik Ilustrowany” zamieścił tekst o szwedzkim malarzu Carlu Larssonie (1853–1919). Autorem był polski fotografik, poliglota i znawca sztuki Jan Malisz, żyjący w latach 1878–1928 inicjator ruchu zawodowego fotografów na terenie Galicji. W roku 1908 założył on filię ogólnoaustriackiego Związku Fotografów w Krakowie, a w 1909 we Lwowie. Jego horyzont artystyczny objął także sztukę skandynawską, której przedstawicielem był malarz Carl Larsson. Malisz dostrzegł w dziełach szwedzkiego malarza cechy, które po latach pozwoliły Europie uznać C. Larssona i jego żonę Karin za prekursorów szwedzkiego wzornictwa i designu wnętrz. Fenomen trafności spostrzeżeń J. Malisza wynikał z bliskiej i długoletniej przyjaźni z Carlem Larssonem. W porozumieniu duchowym Szweda z Polakiem nie przeszkodziła znaczna różnica wieku ani różne poglądy polityczne. Malisz był socjalistą, a Larsson zwolennikiem absolutyzmu. Listy J. Malisza do C. Larssona przechowywane są w Bibliotece Uniwersyteckiej w Uppsali

No full textEnhancing supply chain collaboration in automotive industry by value driven simulation
No full textThis paper presents a computer-based approach for conceptual design that aims to enhance collaborative supply chain development in the automotive sector when dealing with product-service development or radical innovations. The focus of the research has been to design a simulation approach that will enable designers and managers to simulate and evaluate the value of different design options for the different stakeholders involved in the development process and to have insights about the implications between business model innovation and the engineered aspects of the solutions early in the conceptual phase. The approach is presented using a case study within the current project, after following a team responsible for the car cockpit. Four possible scenario have been simulated and evaluated using a commercial simulation software. The main advantage of the proposed approach is to enhance the awareness among designers and managers of the value of different design options, and allow them to explore further how business and design aspects profoundly affect each other, in order to support early decision-making in the design process. © 2013 The Design Society, unless otherwise stated
Stenostomum handoelense Larsson & Willems, 2010, n. sp.
No full textStenostomum handoelense n. sp. (Fig. 3 C–E) Synonyms: Stenostomum longpit (Larsson et al. 2008.) Localities. Loc. 23 (type locality) and 7. Material. Several individuals studied. Photograph (fig. 3 D) designated holotype (SMNH no. 7369). There are DNA-sequences (accession numbers: FJ 384823, FJ 384864, FJ 384951, FJ 384905, FJ 384824, FJ 384865, FJ 384952, FJ 384906, FJ 384815, FJ 384857, FJ 384945, FJ 384816, FJ 384858, FJ 384946), which will facilitate unambiguous identification (see Larsson et al. 2008). Etymology. Species name refers to the type locality Handöl, Jämtland. Remark. This species is clearly identifiable based on morphological characters, photos and drawings of live specimens. Description. The animals are 0.4 mm long. Specimens with one or two zooids were found. The colour is white in reflected light and the gut is darker with excretophores evenly distributed along both sides of the gut. The excretophores are white in reflected light and black in transmitted light. The body is slender, evenly shaped and cylindrical with both ends tapering. The anterior part of the body is long and more mobile than the rest of the body creating a head-like appearance (see fig. 3 D, prostomium in Luther 1960). The epidermis is completely covered with short cilia. Rhabdoids could not be observed. The deep ciliated pits are long, extending from the anterior tip to approximately 1 / 8 of the body length. The brain consists of two pairs of brain lobes; the anterior lobes are more distinct and consist of 10–12 metamerically arranged ganglia, giving a striped appearance to the prostomium. Refractile organs are absent. The mouth opening is more or less U-shaped and situated at approximately 1 / 6. The pharynx is muscular and slightly wrinkled and the distal rim is constricted around the small mouth opening. The length of the pharynx is approximately 1 / 5 of the total body length. A pair of glands is present along the pharynx. The gland bodies are situated close to the proximal end of the pharynx, but their long and slender necks open close to the mouth. The protonephridium is slightly sinuous and visible in live specimens and ends in a nephridiopore at the posterior end. Individuals with a developed genital system were not found. Diagnosis. Stenostomum handoelense n. sp.: species of Stenostomum with one or two zooids, a prostomium, long ciliated pits ranging from the anterior tip to approximately 1 / 8, anterior brain lobes with 10–12 “metamerical” compartments, a barrel-like pharynx with a small mouth opening, two club-shaped pharynx glands and excretophores. Refractile organs absent. Discussion. S. handoelense can easily be placed within the taxon Stenostomum. A remarkable feature of this species is the long and mobile anterior end. This so-called prostomium has a striped appearance due to the “metamerically” arranged anterior brain lobes. A similar feature is also present in Stenostomum anatirostrum Marcus, 1945, Stenostomum glandulosum Kepner & Carter, 1931 and Stenostomum bryophilum Luther, 1960. In S. anatirostrum the prostomium is spatulate or sharply arched, constricted proximally, separating it from the pharynx (Noreña et al. 2005). In S. bryophilum a large number of pharynx glands are present, clustered around the pharynx (Luther 1960). Furthermore the brain of this species has a lower number of “metamerical” brain compartments (4–6 in Luther 1960), although in one of Luther’s figures, 10 metamerical brain compartments are depicted (Luther 1960: Fig. 9 F). S. glandulosum, the third species showing a prostomium similar to that of S. handoelense, is clearly identifiable by the presence of three pairs of refractile organs and epidermal inclusions (= rosette-shaped glands in Kepner & Carter 1931) In the molecular analyses of Swedish Catenulida (Larsson et al. 2008.) S. handoelense forms a clade with Stenostomum heebuktense n. sp. and Stenostomum steveoi n. sp. (see fig. 2). This clade is always strongly supported, although no morphological synapomorphy could be found.Published as part of Larsson, Karolina & Willems, Wim, 2010, Report on freshwater Catenulida (Platyhelminthes) from Sweden with the description of four new species, pp. 1-18 in Zootaxa 2396 on pages 6-7, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.19396
Síndrome de Sjögren-Larsson con afectación macular bilateral
No full textCase report: We report the case of a woman with Sjögren-Larsson syndrome who shows bilateral concentric maculopathy formed by glittering white crystalline deposits. Discussion: Sjögren-Larsson syndrome is a rare metabolic disorder associated with a defect in fatty alcohol metabolism and characterised by ichthyosis, mental retardation, and spastic pyramidal symptoms. Association with maculopathy is almost pathognomic but only one-third of the patients show it.Caso clínico: Se describe el caso de una paciente con síndrome de Sjögren-Larsson que presenta una maculopatía concéntrica formada por depósitos blanquecinos birrefringentes. Discusión: El síndrome de Sjögren-Larsson es una rara enfermedad metabólica causada por el déficit de la enzima lipoaldehído deshidrogenasa, caracterizada por ictiosis congénita, retraso mental y espasticidad. La afectación macular en esta enfermedad es casi patognomónica pero sólo se presenta en 1/3 de los paciente
Stepping-stones or dead-ends? An analysis of Swedish replacement contracts
No full textThe paper studies if temporary jobs in the form of fixed-term replacement contracts reduce the risk of future unemployment among job-seekers. Using exact matching on labour market history and personal characteristics we find positive effects of the replacement contract on future labour market status. We also find that the longer the replacement contract the higher the probability of having an open ended contract at the same site 2–2.5 years after the start of the contract. No effect of the length is found on unemployment, employment or wages. Overall, the results suggest that receiving a fixed term contract reduces the risk of future unemployment, and that a longer contract increases the position within the workplace but not on the market in general.Unemployment; temporary employment; matching

No full textPseudotibiozus zophoribates sp. nov. Figs 2 B, 3 E, 4 B, C, 5 B, D, 8 Diagnosis. Differs from the only known congener, P. cerasopus, by being larger (diameter of males 6.0– 6.6 mm, vs. 4.4–4.8 mm), by having the apical proplical lobe almost semi-circular with a parallel-sided, broadly or rounded mesapical process, and by having the apical lobe of metaplica almost egg-shaped. Etymology. The name is a composite Greek noun in apposition, from zophos (darkness, dusk, also referring to the West) and oribates (mountaineer); it refers to the type locality, the West Usambara Mountains. Material studied (total: 2 ♂♂) Holotype: 1 ♂ TANZANIA, Tanga, W Usambara Mts, Mazumbai forest, 4°49’S, 38°30’E, 1400–1800 m asl, 10–20.xi.1995, C.E. Griswold, N. Scharff & D. Ubick leg. (ZMUC) Paratype: 1 ♂ same data (ZMUC). Description. Males. SIZE. Body length 71–73 mm. Diameter 6.0– 6.6 mm. 43 body rings. COLOUR (preserved specimens). Antennae and legs red, although less intensely so than in preserved specimens of P. cerasopus. Prozona and anterior part of metazona yellowish brown, posterior part of metazona dark brown, semi-transparent edge of metazona reddish. MANDIBLES. Stipes with apicoventral lobe, no soft pad apically on the lobe. Gnathal lobe not studied with SEM, but apparently no group of small pointed pegs between pectinate lamellae and molar plate on dorsal surface, and no meso-dorsal lobe present between odontomere and sectile edge of psectromere. GNATHOCHILARIUM (Fig. 3 E). Basal edge of median depression of mentum blunt, not overlying main part of mentum, not delimiting a proper cavity. Stipites without setae in basal half. BODY RINGS (Fig. 2 B). Several rows of sigilla; rows sometimes irregular, especially below ozopore level. LEGS. Length 0.9 × body diameter. First pair with only a few setae on coxosternum, not a large patch as in P. cerasopus. (Fig. 5 B). GONOPODS (Figs 5 D, 8). Proplica club-shaped: base relatively narrow, largest width subapically. Apical lateral lobe (apl) with regularly rounded margin continuing in broadly rounded mesapical lobe. Metaplica with mesal margin turning laterad at ca. 70° just before end of proplica, forming a blunt “corner”; apical lobe (aml) tongue- or egg-shaped, hardly projecting laterad. Antetorsal process (atp) of telopodite (Fig. 5 D) projecting obliquely mesodistad, tip just visible between pro- and metaplica (Figs 8 C, D). Females. Unknown. Distribution. Only known from the type locality, Mazumbai forest in the West Usambara Mountains (Fig. 9).Published as part of Enghoff, Henrik & Larsson, Tobias Berglund, 2018, Pseudotibiozus Demange, 1970 - millipedes of the Eastern Arc Mountains, Tanzania (Diplopoda, Spirostreptida, Spirostreptidae), pp. 541-554 in Zootaxa 4425 (3) on pages 545-552, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4425.3.7, http://zenodo.org/record/127043
