Valdemar den Store: borgerkrigens barn
No full textI 1157 var det endelig slut med mange års borgerkrig. Sven, Knud og Valdemar var klar til at dele riget, og det skulle et gilde i Roskilde bekræfte. Men Sven havde andre planer, og festen udviklede sig til Blodgildet i Roskilde. Det blev et vendepunkt. Ikke kun for Valdemar den Store, der sejrede og blev enekonge, men også i Danmarks historie.
Under Valdemar blev magten samlet hos kongen og hans nærmeste, mens de lokale stormænd og bønder på tingene mistede kontrollen med valget af konge. Danmark gik fra at være et valgkongedømme til at være et arvekongedømme. Det blev beseglet ved intet mindre end et statskup, da biskop Absalon i 1165 opfordrede til, at Valdemar skulle gøre sin 3-årige søn, Knud, til medkonge.
Valdemar den Store. Borgerkrigens barn er den første samlede fremstilling af Valdemar den Stores liv. Bogen fortæller om Valdemars fascination af den danske fortid, og hvordan han brugte historien til at nå sine mål. Hans ambitioner på egne og slægtens vegne skaffede ham både venner og fjender. Selv hævdede Valdemar at være udvalgt af Gud, mens hans fjender så ham som Antikrist, der fordærvede det danske rige.
Danmark blev større under Valdemar og hans sønner. Samtidig var han inspireret af udviklingen i Tyskland og England, ligesom han var præget af sine tidlige leveår i Ukraine og brugte sin mors fortællinger og egne erfaringer i krige og magtkampe

Get PDFA Phenomenological Exploration of the Holistic Experiences of Students of African Descent at a Post-1992 University in England
Get PDFHE (Higher education) has the potential to break intergenerational poverty by bringing about social mobility and justice, thereby, transforming the lives of many from disadvantaged backgrounds. In recent years, considerable progress has been made to widen the participation of black students in the UK HE sectors. It has been observed that candidates from black and minority ethnic groups go to university in good numbers, but they don’t achieve as well as their white counterparts. In the past few years alone, the Covid-19 pandemic and the Black Lives Matter movement have shone a stark light on the racial inequalities that exist throughout all sections of UK society, including within HE. Key obstacles remain to building on and sustaining the progress that has been made, ensuring the participation and success of deprived groups and delivering fair access. These groups experience a higher risk of poverty, social exclusion, discrimination, and violence than the general population and their constant struggle to secure top positions in the UK economy. In this study, IPA (Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis) has been used to explore the holistic experiences of students of African descent attending a post-1992 university in England, through the lenses of Critical Race Theory (CRT) and Pierre Bourdieu’s tools. We were mainly evaluating the challenges they faced and the coping strategies they have adopted to survive in largely white-dominated spaces. Findings reveal that students faced a combination of psychological, academic, and financial challenges relating to anxieties of adjusting to a new culture for international students, language difficulties, new ways of learning and assessment, and having to work alongside their studies. Moreover, substantial inequalities persist throughout their student lifecycle exposing systemic discrimination, and broader political, cultural, and social realities evident on the campus
The construction of news in a polarised state
No full textTaking a qualitative approach based on original case studies, this book offers a detailed overview of the contemporary media system in Malta.
Three Maltese news organisations are examined to understand the editorial routines, ownership and management structures, and social and cultural factors that affect the day-to-day business of creating news. In-depth interviews with key stakeholders of each organisation are conducted alongside qualitative textual analysis of the content they publish. Contrary to previous research, the work finds that advocacy continues to dominate Maltese journalism, indicating that the country has retained similarities to other media systems within its geographic region. While recognising that the gold standard in journalism is judged to be objectivity and balance, a case is made for a responsible, measured form of advocacy journalism to extend media diversity and contribute to a high level of national political engagement.
Presenting an informed case for the need to pay closer attention to small states, especially at a time when many countries are seen to be becoming increasingly socially and politically divided, The Construction of News in a Polarised State is an insightful text for scholars and academics in the fields of media and communication studies, political science, and sociology

Get PDFAre We in Trouble? An exploration on Crime during Natural Disasters and Pandemics
No full textThe rise of digital business models, social media platforms, and intensified use of cyberspace during the COVID-19 pandemic have inevitably seen respective and associated cyber and cyber-enabled crimes. There have also been fluctuations in other forms of crimes during the pandemic. This chapter provides a critical overview of crime during natural disasters and pandemics. The paper also outlines a comprehensive background on pandemics, natural disasters, and crimes beside attempting to critically review the existing literature on the correlation between these concepts. It then adopts a case study approach to assess the correlation between pandemics and crime using secondary data sources
Assessing risks in dairy supply chain systems: a system dynamics approach
Get PDFDue to the dynamic nature of the food supply chain system, food supply management could suffer because of, and be interrupted by, unforeseen events. Considering the perishable nature of fresh food products and their short life cycle, fresh food companies feel immense pressure to adopt an efficient and proactive risk management system. The risk management aspects within the food supply chains have been addressed in several studies. However, only a few studies focus on the complex interactions between the various types of risks impacting food supply chain functionality and dynamic feedback effects, which can generate a reliable risk management system. This paper strives to contribute to this evident research gap by adopting a system dynamics modelling approach to generate a systemic risk management model. The system dynamics model serves as the basis for the simulation of risk index values and can be explored in future work to further analyse the dynamic risk’s effect on the food supply chain system’s behaviour. According to a literature review of published research from 2017 to 2021, nine different risks across the food supply chain were identified as a subsection of the major risk categories: macro-level and operational risks. Following this stage, two of the risk groups identified first were integrated with a developed system dynamics model to conduct this research and to evaluate the interaction between the risks and the functionality of the three main dairy supply chain processes: production, logistics, and retailing. The key findings drawn from this paper can be beneficial for enhancing managerial discernment regarding the critical role of system dynamics models for analysing various types of risks across the food supply chain process and improving its efficiency
Memory retrieval and harshness of conflict in the hawk--dove game
Get PDFWe study the long-run dynamics of a repeated non-symmetric hawk–dove type inter- action between agents of two different populations. Agents choose a strategy based on their previous experience with the other population by sampling from a collective memory of past interactions. We assume that the sample size differs between populations and define a measure of harshness of conflict in the hawk–dove interaction. We then show how the properties of the long-run equilibrium depend on the harshness of conflict and the relative length of the sample. In symmetric interactions, if conflict is harsh, the population which samples relatively more past interactions is able to appropriate a higher payoff in the long-run, while the population with a relatively smaller sample does so if conflict is mild. These results hold subject to constraints on the sample size which we discuss in detail. We further extend our results to non-symmetric hawk–dove games
