Cultural values, sources of guidance, and their relevance to managerial behavior - A 47-nation study

- Data are presented showing how middle managers in 47 countries report handling eight specific work events. The data are used to test the ability of cultural value dimensions derived from the work of Hofstede. Trompenaars, and Schwartz to predict the specific sources of guidance on which managers rely. Focusing on sources of guidance is expected to provide a more precise basis than do generalized measures of values for understanding the behaviors that prevail within different cultures. Values are strongly predictive of reliance on those sources of guidance that are relevant to vertical relationships within organizations. Hock ever, values are less successful in predicting reliance on peers and on more tacit sources of guidance. Explaining national differences in these neglected aspects of organizational processes will require greater sensitivity to the culture-specific contexts within which they occur.

Phytoplankton communities at different depths in two eutrophic and two oligotrophic temperate lakes at higher latitude during the period of ice cover
- 2001

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Phytoplankton communities at different depths and at different locations within each lake were studied during the period of ice cover (from January to March) in two eutrophic and two oligotrophic lakes in North-Eastern Sweden. Cryptophyceae, Dinophyceae and Euglenophyceae were dominant during the whole period of investigation in eutrophic environments. Bacillariophyceae, Chlorophyceae, Chrysophyceae and Cyanophyceae were only occasionally found both in eutrophic and oligotrophic lakes. Both in eutrophic and oligotrophic lakes diversity as well as abundance of phytoplankton were considerably higher immediately under ice than near the bottom. No differences in horizontal distribution of phytoplankton assemblages were detected within each lake. However, vertical differences were more profound. It is speculated that both light availability and increased ion concentration under the ice cover can be viewed as main factors determining phytoplankton communities.

Interactions between photosynthesis and 'light-enhanced dark respiration' (LEDR) in the flagellate Euglena gracilis after irradiation with ultraviolet radiation
- 2000
-
In: Journal of Photochemistry and Photobiology. B. - 1011-1344 .- 1873-2682. ; 55:1, s. 63-69
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The effects of ultraviolet radiation (UV-A, 315-400 nm plus UV-B, 280-315 nm) on photosynthesis and 'light-enhanced dark respiration' (LEDR) in Euglena gracilis have been investigated by using light pulses (80 s) with increasing photon fluence rates of 59, 163, 600, 1180, 2080 and 3340 mu mol m(-2) s(-1) and dark periods between the light pulses. LEDR is estimated as the maximum rate of oxygen consumption after a period of Light minus the rate of oxygen consumption 30 s after the maximum rate. Without any exposure to UV radiation, the photosynthetic rate and LEDR increase with increasing photon fluence rate. After 20 and 40 min exposures to UV radiation, the photosynthetic rate and LEDR as functions of photon fluence rate are reduced. After a 20 min UV treatment respiration is greater than photosynthesis after the first light pulse of 59 mu mol m(-2) s(-1) radiation, and especially at higher photon fluence rates photosynthesis is lower than the control values. The inhibitory effects of UV radiation on photosynthetic rate and LEDR are greater after a 40 min UV exposure than after a 20 min exposure. Only at 600 mu mol m(-2) s(-1) is the rate of oxygen evolution greater than that of oxygen consumption after a 40 min UV treatment. Both photosynthetic rate and LEDR are inhibited by the photosynthetic inhibitor DCMU (10(-5) M) in a similar way, which indicates close regulatory interactions between photosynthesis and LEDR. Potassium cyanide (KCN) inhibits dark respiration more than it inhibits LEDR. Dark respiration is not affected to the same degree by UV radiation as are photosynthesis and LEDR.
