Airborne metals and microorganisms during work with historical books – Exposure and biomonitoring
Get PDFExposure to metals and microorganisms can pose health risks. Historical books often contain pigments withmetals, and fungi. The aim of this study is to obtain knowledge about exposure to eight metals and microorganismsin a library in Denmark. Personal exposure of staff handling historical books (high-exposure group) andindoor and outdoor air samples were collected in three well-ventilated sites of a library. Urine samples werecollected the next morning from the high-exposure group, a low-exposure group (colleagues not handling historicalbooks), and a reference group. Eight metals were measured in air and urine samples using inductivelycoupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). Bacteria and fungal species were identified using MALDI-TOF MS.Personal exposure to metals was higher than in stationary indoor and outdoor air samples, particularly forarsenic (As), lead (Pb), mercury (Hg), and cadmium (Cd), and some were spread to the indoor air. Personalexposure to As, Cd, and Hg showed a significant correlation with Pb levels. The overall indoor/outdoor ratio ofpersonal exposure exceeded 1 for all metals except antimony (Sb) indicating potential indoor source. Additionally,Cd and As concentrations in some urine samples exceeded Biological Limit and Guidance Values. Mostfungal species detected belonged to Aspergillus and Penicillium, and eight species are xerophilic. In conclusion,library staff were exposed to higher concentrations of metals as compared to outdoor air, warranting furtherresearch across different tasks and days for staff handling historical books to understand these risks better
Lyden af København:Podcast i 4 afsnit i forbindelse med udstillingen af samme navn
No full textHvad er lyden af København? Og hvordan har vores opfattelse af lyd, støj og stemmer udviklet sig igennem historien? Det kan du nu blive klogere på i en podcastserie udviklet i et samarbejde mellem Third Ear og Københavns Museum i forbindelse med forsknings- og udstillingsprojektet Lyden af Hovedstaden. I podcasten går projektets forskere og en række gæsteeksperter på opdagelse i hovedstadens lydlandskaber i fortid og nutid og dykker blandt andet ned i byens ikoniske lyde, støjklager, forsvundne stemmer og lydens rolle i iscenesættelse af magt og pragt. Undervejs får du også indblik i, hvad lydhistorie er, og hvad vi kan bruge den til
Børn som ingen andre
No full textKongelige børn er på mange måder som alle andre børn. Men de er også født til at være andet og mere, og dette livsvilkår stiller særlige krav til deres dannelse og personlige fremtræden. Børn som ingen andre fortæller i punktnedslag 500 års dansk hof- og barndomshistorie. Bogen belyser, hvordan kongehuset har forberedt kommende regenter og andre prinser og prinsesser på rollen som magthavere, dynastiske bindeled og kulturelle forbilleder. Fra Christian 4.s skolegang over Struensees opdragelse af Frederik 6. til H.M. Kong Frederik 10.s opvækst i 1970’erne
“The Ideal Dental Health Service for Children”:The Political Development of the Dental Health Service for Children in Denmark, 1960s–1980s
No full textIn 1971, the Danish Parliament passed an act mandating that municipalities establish a Public Dental Health Service for Children, which aimed to provide free preventive and curative dental health services. The Act was part of a longstanding historical progression where school dentists, school doctors, and the provision of school meals, represented a broader movement aimed at reframing perceived social and political issues as educational challenges. This paper examines the political evolution of modern school dental health services within the timeframe of 1966 to 1986. The primary focus of this paper lies in the examination of the political negotiations surrounding the key legislative acts pertaining to school dental health services. Through this scrutiny, this paper aims to illuminate the diverse policy ideas that have exerted significant influence. Therefore, this article adopts the theoretical framework proposed by political scientist Daniel Béland, which conceptualises ideas as historically constructed beliefs and perceptions. To investigate how ideas are incorporated into the political agenda, this paper employs the theoretical model articulated by political scientist John Kingdon with three distinct ‘streams’, which are essential for facilitating the formulation of political decisions.In 1971, the Danish Parliament passed an act mandating that municipalities establish a Public Dental Health Service for Children, which aimed to provide free preventive and curative dental health services.

No full textOrganizational Accumulation: Revisiting Capitalist Transitions and the Danish Farmer Cooperatives From the 19th to the 21st Centuries
No full textWhen, how and why does farming become capitalist? This question has long shaped debates in agrarian studies and economic history. Although traditional analyses emphasize market dependency and competitive pressures, this paper argues for a shift in focus towards the diverse strategies of reproduction that farmers have employed in different historical contexts. Rather than searching for common capitalist behaviours, we should examine what made farmers different as they transitioned to capitalism. This approach is illustrated through the case of Denmark, where farmers from the late 19th century pioneered a unique strategy of cooperative organization to transition into capitalist agriculture. We introduce the concept of ‘organizational accumulation’ to describe this process, in which cooperative networks enabled farmers to strongly influence key aspects of production, processing and trade. By foregrounding organizational accumulation, this paper offers a new perspective on how capitalist farming emerges—and how its trajectories vary across time and place
KNV01499-02 Stubyvej, Næs II
No full textBeretning for en større forundersøgelse af et 51.000 m2 stort areal forud for råstof-indvinding øst for Næs i Vordingborg kommune. Der fremkom spredtliggende oldtidsaktivitet i form af 15 kogegruber. Kogegruberne betragtes som perifer bebyggelsesaktivitet, men kunne ikke relateres til nogen bebyggelse, hvorfor arealet blev frigivet til anlægsarbejde efter endt forundersøgelse. Forundersøgelsen blev foretaget af arkæolog Francesco Denaro for Museum Sydøstdanmark i april 2025.<br/
