Beyond talent management: a relational portrait of companies adapting to global financial downturns
A thesis submitted to the University of Bedfordshire for the degree of Professional Doctor in Systemic PracticeThe thesis examines life within large Danish companies affected by the global financial downturn. It does so from phenomenological-relational perspectives, as a counterpoint to the traditional, mechanical (Cartesian) ways of viewing structures, problems and processes leading to resolutions. In particular, the thesis dwells on the differences between âaboutnessâ and âwithnessâ as criteria for judging how people behave in such companies, particularly at times when a CEO suddenly announces major and rapid change. The thesis attempts to shape some of the contours of a relational landscape - with different understandings of life and living. In that respect, it looks beyond models, tools and recipes as the only ways of evolving as companies move towards future survival
Soil treatments and rootstocks for organic apple production
6 different soil treatments: Mechanical weeding to the middle of the alleyway, mechanical weeding using 3 different equipments Clemens, Humus and a dish harrow, Soil covering with wheat straw and natural vegetation were combined with 3 rootstocks: M9, J9 and M26 to find the best combination for the apple variety 'Retina'. The trees were planted in the winter 1997/1998, only sprayed at primary RIMpro warnings and drip irrigated. The tree growth, nutrient content of the leaves in august, yield and fruit quality were determined.
The rootstock J9 had the highest yield and the biggest amount marketable fruit. Mechanical cleaning to the middle of the alleyways, tree row weed control using Humus or soil covering with straw gave the highest yield and marketable fruit. A one meter weeded strip in the tree row did not remove the competition of the clover grass alleyway. Natural vegetation (weed) in the tree row reduced the yield with more than 50 percent. There was a break down of the Vf resistance of 'Retina'
Sonic mediatization of the book: affordances of the audiobook
This article addresses cultural changes resulting from the growing number of audiobook users and changes in audiobook use emerging from digital technological developments of the past decade. The sonification of the written text is inscribed in the general transformation and mediatization of the printed book but offers radically different affordances than do visually perceived e-books. New portable digital audio media change the act of reading, moving it towards fields of practice in which reading has not been common before: the gym, the bicycle ride, gardening, resting in the dark, etc. From being a medium typically associated with children, the visually handicapped, or the dyslexic, the audiobook has developed into a popular phenomenon, which, we argue, has as much in common with other kinds of mediated mobile listening practices, like music and radio listening, as it has with the reading of printed books. Taking an inductive approach from the micro-level of the individualâs use, the term affordances will be used as a methodological tool within the concept of mediatization
Slagtekyllinger reducerede antallet af Ìblebladhvepse I økologisk dyrkede "Discovery" Ìbler
Samproduktion af fjerkrÌ og frugt er et emne, som er blevet diskuteret og prøvet i økologisk frugtdyrkning i Danmark. FjerkrÌets skraben efter føde kan muligvis formindske populationen af skadedyr, som tilbringer en del af deres livscyklus i jorden.
I økologisk forskning er meget fü forsøg med kombineret vegetabilsk og animalsk produktion udført. Behovet for alternative metoder til at regulerer skadedyrspopulationerne meget efterspurgte, fordi økologisk Ìbleproduktion i Danmark har meget fü økologiske sprøjtemidler til rüdighed.
Ăblehvepsen (Hoplocampa testudinea) giver store udbyttetab i ĂŚbler. Ăblehvepsene lĂŚgger ĂŚg under blomstring og larverne ødelĂŚgger de smĂĽ frugter, der falder til jorden før modenhed. Laven overvintre og forpupper sig i jorden.
Hønsefugle levede oprindeligt I skove, hvor de kunne gemme sig for rovfugle under buske og trÌer. Livet i en frugtplantage ligner fuglenes oprindelige miljø. VelfÌrden for høns og kyllinger vil derfor sandsynligvis vÌre bedre i en frugtplantage end pü de grÌsarealer, som de normalt har adgang til
What knowledge - which relationships? Sharing dilemmas of an action researcher
"Taking as points of departure two concrete research projects carried out in
Denmark, the article discusses some of the dilemmas faced by the action
researcher while she takes turns with ideas of collaboration and community,
both in relation to knowledge production, and in relation to the creation
of research relations. It argues that an unfolding of a first person perspective
can inspire deconstruction of constraining meaning-making processes
and motivate critical dialogue about conditions for social change. It
also suggests that sharing the dilemmas of the researcher with other participants
can additionally open alternative tracks for understanding relations
in collaborative research." (author's abstract

Lytning og lĂŚsning som kreative processer?
Is it possible to understand the acts of listening and reading as creative processes and if so, which types of knowledge do these acts generate? By collocating the creativity thinkers Christopher Frayling and Niels Lehmann(and through him, Edward de Bono), the paper presents a phenomenologically inspired method that understands listening and reading as creative processes. One of the points of the paper is to investigate if and how creativity thinking is perhaps imbued with implicit dimensions like spatiality and non-linearity.
Birgitte Stougaard Pedersen drøfter, hvordan kunstneriske og videnskabelige praksisformer kan relateres uden at medieres. Med artiklen indtager Stougaard Nielsen en fĂŚnomenologisk position, som bl.a. slĂĽr til lyd for, at lyttestrategier kan struktureres metodisk â med kreative greb â som ârandâsemantiske, fĂŚnomenologiske dimensioner. Artiklen undersøger operative og teoretiske aspekter af kreative lĂŚse- og lyttestrategier og drøfter muligheden for at trĂŚde ind i og ud af rollen som fĂŚnomenologisk lyttende betragter.
