Hvad vil vi egentlig med SU’en?
No full textEn historisk gennemgang af uddannelsesstøtten viser, at det faktisk aldrig har været entydigt, hvad man ville med ydelsen. Så er målet med SU'en klart i dag, hvor man for første gang siden indførelsen fjerner et SU-år

No full textsomhca:Self-Organising Maps Coupled with Hierarchical Cluster Analysis
No full textImplements self-organising maps combined with hierarchical cluster analysis (SOM-HCA) for clustering and visualization of high-dimensional data. The package includes functions to estimate the optimal map size based on various quality measures and to generate a model using the selected dimensions. It also performs hierarchical clustering on the map nodes to group similar units
Assessing spatially explicit long-term landscape dynamics based on automated production of land category layers from Danish late nineteenth-century topographic maps in comparison with contemporary maps
No full textHistorical topographical maps containvaluable, spatially and thematically detailed informa-tion about past landscapes. Yet, for analyses of land-scape dynamics through geographical informationsystems, it is necessary to “unlock” this informationvia map processing. For two study areas in northernand central Jutland, Denmark, we apply object-basedimage analysis, vector GIS, colour image segmen-tation, and machine learning processes to producemachine-readable layers for the land use and landcover categories forest, wetland, heath, dune sand,and water bodies from topographic maps from thelate nineteenth century. Obtained overall accuracywas 92.3%. A comparison with a contemporarymap revealed spatially explicit landscape dynamic
The Vikings in Poland
No full textThis pioneering work offers a meticulous exploration of Scandinavian presence in Viking Age Poland. Unveiling the complexities and controversies of past research and delving into the nuances of reciprocal interactions between Western Slavic and Scandinavian populations as revealed through archaeology and medieval texts, the book casts genuinely new light on a previously overlooked part of the Viking world.In setting the stage for these investigations, the monograph traces the evolution of Viking and Old Norse studies in Poland. It covers the romanticisation of Norse culture and literature, the dark days of the Second World War when archaeology was strongly driven by violent ideologies, and the profound changes that occurred in academia after the fall of communism and Poland’s accession to the European Union. At the core of this book are thorough investigations into cross-cultural interactions along the shores of the southern Baltic as well as in the interior of Poland. Using first-hand analyses of archaeological evidence from bustling ports of trade, settlement sites, silver hoards, and burial grounds, it is argued that the relationship between the local Western Slavic population and the Scandinavian migrants was highly complex but overall very symmetrical. Crucial notions such as the construction of identity in diasporic communities, ritual behaviour, and the symbolic content of Viking Age material culture are also discussed at length, offering new insights into Scandinavian and Slavic minds.Enriched with high-quality illustrations, photographs, as well as artistic reconstructions, this book fills many blank spaces in the field of Viking studies and is intended both for professional audiences and general readers interested in the intricacies of our shared past
Mellem øst og vest - Berlin:Historie, magt og monumenter
No full textBerlin er stærkt præget af at ligge mellem øst og vest. Som hovedstad i Preussen skuede indbyggerne mod øst og ikke mod syd og vest, og under Den Kolde Krig blev hovedstaden delt af Berlinmuren – betonsymbolet på årtiers konflikt mellem Østeuropa og Vesteuropa. Den delte by symboliserede kampen mellem socialismen og kapitalismen, og det er kommet til udtryk i bygninger, gadenavne og monumenter. Som hovedstad i det genforenede Tyskland siden 1990 er Berlins historie ikke lang, men faktisk blev byen hovedstad første gang i 1400-tallet. Byen voksede dog ikke før 1700-tallet, hvor Preussen fik større og større magt, og central betydning opnåede byen først for alvor efter Tysklands samling i 1871. Alligevel er det værd at dvæle ved tiden før 1871, for den todelte by (Berlin og Cölln), Hohenzollernslægten og Preussen viser sig i gammel bymur, slotte og kirker, der spiller sammen med den moderne metropol. Udviklingen ses ikke kun i bygninger, men også i det, der er blevet tilintetgjort og fjernet. For regimeskifter, jødeforfølgelser og ødelæggelser under 2. verdenskrig har ført til heftige diskussioner om erindringer. Hvilke bygninger skulle rives ned? Hvilke skulle repræsentere den nye tid? Hvilke mindesmærker skulle opføres? Kampen om historien er meget synlig i Berlin

Anders Andersen – museumsmand, arkæolog og samler
No full textI 2023 arvede Øm Kloster Museum en helt særlig oldsagssamling. Denoprindelige samler og ejer var Anders Laursen Andersen (1888-1963), som er enaf de personer, der har haft helt afgørende betydning for Øm Kloster Museum.Andersen var barnefødt i Gl. Ry og var desuden Ridder af Dannebrog, hvilketer en spændende historie, der har direkte forbindelse til museet. Samlingen blevskænket til museet af hans barnebarn Ruth Baunsgaard (1938-2023), der i sintid var med i den kreds, der stiftede venneforeningen ”Øm Klosters Venner”
Behind the Mask - Archaeometric Analysis of Four Gilded Romano-Egyptian Mummy Masks from the Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek, Copenhagen
Get PDFThis study investigates the materials, production techniques, and craft involved in the creation of gilded mummy masks from ancient Egypt, focusing on four masks from the collections of the Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek in Copenhagen. These masks, dating from the 1st century BCE to the 2nd century CE, are an example of the dual existence of traditional Egyptian style and the new Roman stylistic elements. Various analytical methods, including imaging FTIR, SEM-EDS, and palaeoproteomic analysis, were employed to identify and examine the composition of the materials. The results show the main components of plaster to be gypsum and calcite. Red and yellow ochre were sometimes used in preparation layers for gilding, which was made with silver-containing gold leaf. Four masks is not representative of major changes in gilding techniques, but the study does reveal information about the methods and materials available, including preferences and variations in ancient Roman Egypt
