No full textCauses of Mortality in Harbor (Phoca vitulina) and Gray (Halichoerus grypus) Seals in Denmark
No full textDetermination of the causes of mortality in stranded marine mammals can contribute valuable information for conservation of wild populations, as well as contribute to risk assessments for different pathogens, hosts, and environmental conditions. This study examined necropsy reports for harbor (Phoca vitulina; n = 213) and gray (Halichoerus grypus; n = 40) seals stranded in Denmark in the period 2014 to 2021 to determine the causes of mortality where feasible. The likelihood that human interactions did or might have contributed to the mortality was also assessed. Infection with lungworms, heartworms, gastrointestinal roundworms, and influenza virus was tested for each seal in the data. Parasitic bronchopneumonia was the most common cause of death in both harbor (n = 68) and gray (n = 8) seals, and significantly more juveniles than adults died as a result of parasitic infections in the harbor seal cohort. Starvation was also a major cause of death in juvenile seals. Cause of death, death class (found dead, euthanized, or culled), and whether human interactions played a role in mortality did not vary significantly between the two species. Traumatic causes of death, resulting from confirmed or probable human interactions, were associated with adult and subadult seals of both species. Culling was the cause of death for 13.6% of harbor seals and 17.5% of gray seals.Determination of the causes of mortality in stranded marine mammals can contribute valuable information for conservation of wild populations, as well as contribute to risk assessments for different pathogens, hosts, and environmental conditions.

Omkring to værker – på tværs og på langs:En transmissionshistorisk kortlægning af Asger Jorn og Guy Debords "<i>Fin de Copenhague</i>" og "<i>Mémoires</i>"
No full textI afhandlingen kortlægges historien om to centrale værker i det 20. århundredes avantgardehistorie. Fin de Copenhague og Mémoires, hvis førsteudgaver udkom i henholdsvis 1957 og 1959, var knyttet til de første år i bevægelsen Situationistisk Internationales liv (1957-1972). Værkernes historie viser sig dog langt mere kompleks end hidtil antaget. Analyserne af værkernes historie fra 1950’erne til i dag sker bl.a. på baggrund af et omfattende kildemateriale fra arkiver i ind- og udland.Med støtte i boghistorisk teori og metode påvises værkernes dynamiske karakter og den løbende forhandling mellem de involverede parter, når nye udgaver udsendes og de historiske kontekster ændrer sig. Afhandlingen korrigerer de eksisterende rammesættende fortællinger om de to værker, og der sker en omfattende udvidelse af kronologien, persongalleriet og geografien. Kortlægningen giver betydelig ny viden om værkerne og samarbejdet mellem den danske kunstner Asger Jorn (1914-1973) og den franske filmmager og teoretiker Guy Debord (1931-1994), samt om de historiske sammenhænge, som værkerne var del af, herunder Jorns danske netværks afgørende betydning.Thomas Hvid Kromann vil med afhandlingen belyse et vigtigt kapitel i international avantgardehistorie, et kapitel, der har væsentlige danske forudsætninger, og videreudvikle en teoretisk-metodisk model for studiet af bøger og deres liv
