An Investigation of the Augsburg Leadership Development Model and Its Gender Role Association

Traditional models of leadership have been associated with either masculine or feminine traits, as illustrated by the transactional and transformational styles, respectively. A new model of leadership has emerged that requires that both feminine and masculine traits be incorporated into a leader\u27s style. The Augsburg Leadership Development Model supports this new style of leadership by maintaining a neutral gender role association

A Trail Through the Seasons: All Seasons Garden Center and Arboretum

Western Minnesota and especially North Dakota are areas with little variation in their landscapes. These areas (on average) can be categorized as flat and with a few rolling hills in western North Dakota and in western Minnesota. The Red River Valley is considered to be the best farm land in practically the whole country, but to visitors it is just the wide open plains. That is where the idea of an arboretum can come into play. It is a way to enhance and develop an area once thought of as plain into an area of interest and a way to set a standard for new, revitalized landscapes. By providing this area with a year round garden center and arboretum it will be the first step in making this region a focal point for the idea of landscape. By tying an arboretum into a garden center setting will also bring pedestrian traffic in from around the region to visually experience and perceive the different seasons. This is also a way to bring revenue into the garden center by enticing visitors to bring a piece of the landscape home with them and incorporate into their own gardens

Kartlegging av kalkskog i kommunene Snåsa og Steinkjer, Nord-Trøndelag

Biologisk kartlegging av kalkskog med fokus på intakte systemer og rødlistearter er gjennomført i sju lokaliteter i kommunene Snåsa (4) og Steinkjer (3). Undersøkelsen viser at naturtypen er sterkt utsatt for hogst og at det med få unntak bare er mindre restforekomster igjen. Kalkgranskog ser ut til å være mer utsatt for hogst enn kalkfuruskog. Det ble registrert to rødlistede orkidéer, marisko Cypripedium calceolus i to lokaliteter og flueblom Ophrys insectifera i en lokalitet. To regionalt sjeldne blomsterplanter, vaniljerot Monotropa hypopitys og sanikel Sanicula europaea, ble registret i én lokalitet hver. Fire rødlistede lavarter ble registrert i én lokalitet hver, gubbeskjegg Alectoria sarmentosa, furuskjell Cladonia parasitica, mørk brannstubbelav Hypocenomyce castaneocinerea og Petractis clausa. Regionalt sjeldne arter som ble påvist i én lokalitet hver er Sagiolechia protuberans, granseterlav Hypogymnia bitteri, Ionaspis heteromorpha og Sarcogyne regularis. Petractis clausa og Sagiolechia protuberans er tidligere ikke registrert i Trøndelag. Seven localities of basiphilous coniferous forest growing on calcareous rock have been investigated in Snåsa and Steinkjer municipality. The investigation confirms that these forests are highly threatened by logging and different kinds of development including construction of cabins. In most cases only small forest fragments are left. Basiphilous spruce forests seem to be more threatened by logging than pine forests. Two redlisted orchids were recorded, Cypripedium calceolus in two localities and Ophrys insectifera in one locality. Two regionally rare vascular plants were recorded in one locality each, Monotropa hypopitys and Sanicula europaea. Four redlisted lichens were recorded in one locality each, Alectoria sarmentosa, Cladonia parasitica, Hypocenomyce castaneocinerea and Petractis clausa. Some regionally rare lichen species were recorded in one locality each, Hypogymnia bitteri, Ionaspis heteromorpha, Sagiolechia protuberans and Sarcogyne regularis. Petractis clausa and Sagiolechia protuberans are new to Central Norway.Fylkesmannen i Nord-Trøndelag, Miljøvernavdelingen Høgskolen i Nord-Trøndela
