This is the largest book fair for literature for children and young adults and our participation as guest of honour is a unique opportunity for Swedish authors and illustrators to reach readers far beyond Sweden’s borders, and to promote children’s and young people’s right to culture internationally. Our participation starts in 2012 and marks the 10th anniversary of the Astrid Lindgren Memorial Award. This will be celebrated with various events including an exhibition featuring previous award recipients. Last year over 1.600 books for children and young adults were published in Sweden.

The fatty acid complement of milk triglyceride from platypuses living in their natural habitat is different from that of the echidna living in the wild: platypus milk triglyceride contains 17·6% palmitic, 25 . 2% oleic and c. 30% long-chain polyunsaturated acids, whereas that of echidnas exhibits 15· 9% palmitic, 61 ·2% oleic and only c. 7% polyunsaturated acids. The fatty acid complement of echidna milk triglyceride can be changed by altering the fatty acid complement of the dietary lipid. Introduction Levels of the proximate constituents, i.e. total solids, crude lipid, crude protein, carbohydrates and minerals, were determined in samples of platypus and echidna milk.

Within Australia there are four subspecies having fur, breathe using lungs, warm blooded and the ranging from the mainland states across to Tasmania and young suckle milk from their mother. Monotremes have Kangaroo Island off South Australia. In West Australia all these mammalian characteristics plus one other unique we have the variety Tachyglossus aculeatu, quality which sets them apart. They lay soft shelled eggs acanthion, which is also common in the arid zones of all from which their young hatch. Echidnas represent a very the mainland states. Characteristics and Habits SPINES Probably the most recognizable characteristic of echidnas are the many sharp spines covering their back and sides. Each spine is connected to a bundle of muscles which allows the animal to very quickly erect them as a formidable protective shield.

  • Three Types of Mammals by Cindy Grigg
    Three Types of Mammals By Cindy Grigg 1 Earth has a large variety of animals living on it. Scientists classify animals into groups based on common characteristics. Mammals are a group of animals (vertebrates) that have backbones and hair or fur. They are warm-blooded (endothermic), and they have four-chambered hearts. They also feed their young with milk from the mother's body. The young of most mammals are born alive. 2 Mammals have about six thousand different species, or kinds, of animals in their group or class. Mammals can be divided into three more groups based on how their babies develop. These three groups are monotremes, marsupials, and the largest group, placental mammals. 3 Monotremes are mammals that lay eggs. The only monotremes that are alive today are the spiny anteater, or echidna, and the platypus. They live in Australia, Tasmania, and New Guinea. These mammals are really different from other mammals. Their body temperature is lower than most warm-blooded animals, a feature that has more in common with reptiles. Their name comes from the fact that they have only one body opening for both wastes and eggs to pass through. Echidnas have sharp spines scattered throughout their hair. They look like a spiky ball. The female anteater lays usually one leathery-shelled egg directly into the pouch on her belly. The egg hatches after only ten or eleven days. The newborn baby is tiny, about the size of a dime. After the baby hatches, it stays in the pouch for several weeks and continues to develop.

  • Lisa Bjärbo Tilldelas Astrid Lindgren-Priset 2018
    Lisa Bjärbo tilldelas Foto: Leif Hansen Astrid Lindgren-priset 2018 Författaren Lisa Bjärbo tilldelades idag Astrid Lindgren-priset för förtjänstfullt författarskap inom barn- och ungdomslitteraturen med motiveringen: ”För ett mångsidigt, insiktsfullt och lovande författarskap som inte räds svåra ämnen, och som med hög trovärdighet skapar stora läsupplevelser för barn i alla åldrar.” Lisa Bjärbo, född 1980, är journalist och författare. Hon släppte sin första ungdomsroman Det är så logiskt alla fattar utom du år 2010. Sedan dess har det blivit en rad roliga och sorgliga nutidsförankrade böcker om vardag, relationer och känslor för barn och unga i olika åldrar. Lisa Bjärbo som är aktuell med boken Viggo och rädslolistan, tar barnets känslor och rädslor på allvar och både stora och små kan känna igen sig i en här fina vardagsskildringen. – Jag satt på ett trångt pendeltåg utan täckning när meddelandet om att jag vunnit det här priset försökte ta sig fram till mig genom novemberdimman. När jag till slut fattade vad det var frågan om ploppade hjärtat nästan ut genom öronen. För en smålänning som växt upp fullständigt marinerad i Astrid Lindgrens berättelser, lekar, miljöer och tankar är det här nästan större än rymden. Jag är så extremt glad. SÅ EXTREMT GLAD, säger Lisa Bjärbo. – Jag har enorm respekt för Astrid. Hennes barnperspektiv, hennes blick, hennes humor och allvar, hennes betydelse för svensk barnlitteratur, både som förläggare och författare. Det låter så platt, för det är så många som sagt det förut. Men vare sig vi fattar det eller inte är vi väldigt många som har Astrid Lindgren att tacka för mycket, fortsätter Lisa Bjärbo.

  • 17. Morphology and Physiology of the Metatheria
    FAUNA of AUSTRALIA 17. MORPHOLOGY AND PHYSIOLOGY OF THE METATHERIA T.J. DAWSON, E. FINCH, L. FREEDMAN, I.D. HUME, MARILYN B. RENFREE & P.D. TEMPLE-SMITH 1 17. MORPHOLOGY AND PHYSIOLOGY OF THE METATHERIA 2 17. MORPHOLOGY AND PHYSIOLOGY OF THE METATHERIA EXTERNAL CHARACTERISTICS The Metatheria, comprising a single order, Marsupialia, is a large and diverse group of animals and exhibits a considerable range of variation in external features. The variation found is intimately related to the animals' habits and, in most instances, parallels that are found in the Eutheria. Useful general references to external characteristics include Pocock (1921), Jones (1923a, 1924), Grassé (1955), Frith & Calaby (1969), Ride (1970) and Strahan (1983). Body form In size, the marsupials range upwards from the Long-tailed Planigale, Planigale ingrami, a small, mouse-like animal weighing only around 4.2 g, with a head- body length of 59 mm and a tail 55 mm long. At the other extreme, there are large kangaroos, such as the Red Kangaroo, Macropus rufus, in which the males may weigh as much as 85 kg and attain a head-body length of 1400 mm and a tail of 1000 mm. Body shape also varies greatly. The primarily carnivorous marsupials, the dasyurids (for example, antechinuses, dunnarts, quolls, planigales and others), are small to medium sized quadrupeds with subequal limbs. The tail is relatively slender and generally about half the length of the body. The omnivorous peramelids show increased development of the hind limbs in keeping with their rapid bounding locomotion. Saltatory or hopping forms (for example kangaroos and wallabies), carry the hind limb specialisation to an extreme, with a concomitant reduction of the forelimbs (Fig.

Translations are an important part of the genre as a whole, and they grow numerically and proportionally over the period. The dissertation consists of two parts. Part 1 presents and analyses a bibliographical database of 10,000 titles of translated and original Dutch fiction for girls. The focus of the analysis is on the development of the genre, the source languages, the Flemish-Dutch relationship, the proportion of fiction series and the role of publishers.
