Improving intercultural communication competence: Fostering bodymindful cage painting
(Immigrant Institutet, 2009)The interconnectedness of the world because of the Internet and the interdependence due to trade liberalization have given rise to the need for future graduates to be more interculturally and globally competent communicators. ... -
Influence of spore dose and interrupted wet periods on the development of pear scab caused by Venturia pirina on pear (Pyrus communis) seedlings
(Springer Verlag, 2012-04)The influence of spore dose and interrupted wet periods on pear scab infection was studied under controlled conditions by assessing disease development on pear seedlings. Under optimal conditions (20 degrees C and continuous ... -
