For the class of fibrations which admit a reduction to a fiber bundle with compact topological manifold fibers, Becker and Schultz showed that the Becker-Gottlieb transfer is uniquely characterized by four axioms. In this paper, we consider a refinement of the transfer, also described by Becker and Gottlieb. We show that a version of the Becker-Schultz axioms uniquely determines the refined tra...

Flies of the genera Cleigastra Macquart, 1835, Gonarcticus Becker, 1894, Gonatherus Rondani, 1856, Hexamitocera Becker, 1894, Nanna Strobl, 1894, Orthacheta Becker, 1894 and Spathephilus Becker, 1894 (all Scathophagidae) of the fauna of Russia are reviewed.

‘Organizational regeneration’, a phenomenon most clearly visible in seasonal organizations, such as summer camps and ski areas, is the process of reproducing an organization after a period of dormancy, often by training and guiding personnel who are largely new to their roles, or to the organization as a whole. This process presents a revealing instance of a fundamental problem facing all membe...

For organisations, the tension between integration and specialisation has become a key issue as the knowledge of work is becoming increasingly fragmented through specialisation (Becker, 2002; Grant, 1996; Kogut & Zander, 1992). Specialisation, as knowing more about less, distributes the overall accomplishment of work on several entities (Aanestad, Mørk, Grisot, Hanseth, & Syvertsen, 2003; Becke...
