Information: - A bone is a rigid organ that constitutes part of the vertebrate skeleton. Bones support and protect the various organs of the body, produce red and white blood cells, store minerals, provide structure and support for the body, and enable mobility. Bones come in a variety of shapes and sizes and have a complex internal and external structure. They are lightweight yet strong and hard, and serve multiple functions. - Sporothrix schenckii is a fungus that can be found world-wide in the environment. The species is present in soil as well as in and on living and decomposing plant material such as peat moss. It can infect humans as well as animals and is the causative agent of sporotrichosis, commonly known as "rose handler's disease". The most common route of infection is the introduction of spores to the body through a cut or puncture wound in the skin. Infection commonly occurs in otherwise healthy individuals but is rarely life-threatening and can be treated with antifungals. In the environment it is found growing as filamentous hyphae. In host tissue it is found as a yeast. The transition between the hyphal and yeast forms is temperature dependent making "S. schenckii" a thermally dimorphic fungus. - White blood cells (WBCs), also called leukocytes or leucocytes, are the cells of the immune system that are involved in protecting the body against both infectious disease and foreign invaders. All white blood cells are produced and derived from multipotent cells in the bone marrow known as hematopoietic stem cells. Leukocytes are found throughout the body, including the blood and lymphatic system. - Sporotrichosis ( also known as '' Rose gardener 's disease '' ) is a disease caused by the infection of the fungus Sporothrix schenckii . This fungal disease usually affects the skin , although other rare forms can affect the lungs , joints , bones , and even the brain . Because roses can spread the disease , it is one of a few diseases referred to as rose - thorn or rose - gardeners ' disease . Because S. schenckii is naturally found in soil , hay , sphagnum moss , and plants , it usually affects farmers , gardeners , and agricultural workers . It enters through small cuts and abrasions in the skin to cause the infection . In case of sporotrichosis affecting the lungs , the fungal spores enter through the respiratory pathways . Sporotrichosis can also be acquired from handling cats with the disease ; it is an occupational hazard for veterinarians . Sporotrichosis progresses slowly - the first symptoms may appear 1 to 12 weeks ( average 3 weeks ) after the initial exposure to the fungus . Serious complications can also develop in patients who have a compromised immune system .

Today, the college enrolls approximately 3000 undergraduate students and 800 graduate students. The school is known for its emphasis on service learning; volunteering in the community is both an instructional strategy and a required part of a students coursework. In 2010 Augsburg College was one of the six higher education institutions to receive the Presidential Award for Community Service, sponsored by the Corporation for National and Community Service. - For the American clergyman and college president of the same name , see Sven Oftedal . Sven Oftedal ( 3 June 1905 -- 23 June 1948 ) was the Norwegian Minister of Social Affairs in 1945 and 1945 - 1948 . - The Lutheran Free Church (LFC) was a Lutheran denomination that existed in the United States, mainly in Minnesota and North Dakota, from 1897 until its merger into the American Lutheran Church (ALC) in 1963. The history of the church body predates its official organization, and a group of congregations that did not join the ALC formed the Association of Free Lutheran Congregations. Background. Georg Sverdrup and Sven Oftedal were two scholars from prominent Haugean families in Norway who came to Augsburg Seminary in Minneapolis, Minnesota, to teach in the 1870s, bringing with them a radical view of Christian education that was centered on Scripture and the simple doctrines of Christianity. The Haugean movement took its name from Norwegian lay evangelist Hans Nielsen Hauge who spoke up against the Church establishment in Norway. Sverdrup and Oftedal had been concerned about hierarchy within the Christian church as well as the study of the Bible. They believed that, according to the New Testament, the local congregation was the correct form of God's kingdom on earth. Their vision was for a church that promoted a living Christianity, emphasized an evangelism that would result in changed lives, and enabled the church member to exercise his/her spiritual gifts.
