Participation in Cultural Centres in Denmark
No full textThere is at least one cultural centre in every municipality in Denmark – in the vast majority of municipalities, many more. This means that cultural centres are probably the most widespread form of cultural institution in Denmark. So, it is surprising that there is a lack of knowledge about them. This report provides insight into a central, yet underexposed area of cultural life in Denmark. The report is part of the DELTAG (English: ‘Participate’) project (2019-23), funded by the Nordea Foundation and initiated by the Culture Centres in Denmark association and Aarhus University
Photographic Work Exhibited in 'Home Sweet Home, Aarhus Kunstmuseum, Denmark, (1 February - 4 May 2003) curated by Gitte Orskou
No full textPhotographic work from Billingham's series 'Rays a Laugh' was exhibited in 'Home Sweet Home, Aarhus Kunstmuseum, Denmark, (1 February - 4 May 2003) curated by Gitte Orskou
The exhibition looked at the private, intimate surroundings of the home as a symbol of our time. This was the first major exhibition in Denmark to turn the spotlight on the home as a motif in contemporary art.
Participating artists worked in painting, photography, video, sculpture and installation art. Besides Billingham, other artists included Nicolai Howalt, Eija-Liisa Ahtila, Sam Taylor-Wood, Nina Saunders, Tony Ousler, Erik A. Frandsen, Frans Jacobi. There was a bilingual catalogue in Danish and English
University of Aarhus - the stepping stones
No full textThe University of Aarhus has more than 20,000 students, making it the second-largest university in Denmark. It is also the second-oldest university in the country, and is celebrating its 75th anniversary in 2003. Like the other Danish universities, the University of Aarhus is currently facing major challenges. Changes in the Danish University Act and a strong political wish for closer partnerships between the private business community, the public sector and the country?s universities have gradually altered the role of the universities in Denmark today. This paper looks more closely at the history of the University of Aarhus, the importance of the University for the Aarhus region, and the opportunities and barriers facing an ?old? comprehensive University in its attempts to adapt to the new role of universities in the modern world.

Readjusting the social democratic welfare state in Denmark 1973 - 2003
No full textAs a social democratic welfare state, Denmark has offered universal and generous benefits promoting equality and diminishing stigmatisation; provision is almost entirely taxfinanced and public services play an important role. Consequently, welfare state spending has been traditionally high. Thus, one would expect that globalisation and low economic growth will threaten this welfare state arrangement. However, the example of Denmark shows that high public expenditure on the welfare state could be conserved. Albeit, in the last decade this small country in the North of Europe has gained much attention as role model for successful welfare state restructuring. The question is thus, how did Denmark readjust its welfare state to the changed environment? Therefore the present paper focuses on policy developments in four major welfare programmes: health care, labour market, old-age pensions and family since the 1970s. By comparatively contrasting these developments the paper is furthermore able to identify patterns in the process of readjusting the Danish welfare state. --

Excluding knowledge: Internationalization between usefulness and ethics
No full text“Internationalization and social practice in the field of higher education in Denmark”As part of a larger project, the set task of the thesis is to explore recognition, acknowledgement and negotiation of knowledge in the international classroom. The project the thesis is part of, “Internationalization and social practice in the field of higher education in Denmark” aims to explore internationalization at Aarhus University as multifaceted and multilevel practices. The larger project draws upon data from five different international programs and combines survey data, observations, interviews and policy research. Besides my project, the larger project researches internationalization history and policy in Denmark, lecturers’ perceptions of international students and pedagogy in the international classroom, and a prosopography of students attending international education in Aarhus. Mythesis focuses particularly on three of the five international master programs.The programs have been selected to cover different disciplines and different approaches to internationalization. Data has been produced through non-participant observations of classroom interactions and semi-structured interviewswith students from the three programs. In the analysis, results from other projects are also included to describe how knowledge-encounters unfold in the international classroom.The project was funded by the Danish Research Council, FKK. I thank FKK for the funding. I also thank all the students and lecturers who agreed to participate in the project and who have been very generous with their time, information, and insights into moments that are valuable to the research, but on occasions very sensitive to the participant
Existing data sources for clinical epidemiology: Aarhus University Clinical Trial Candidate Database, Denmark
No full textHelene Nørrelund, Wiktor Mazin, Lars Pedersen Department of Clinical Epidemiology, Aarhus University Hospital, Aarhus, Denmark Abstract: Denmark is facing a reduction in clinical trial activity as the pharmaceutical industry has moved trials to low-cost emerging economies. Competitiveness in industry-sponsored clinical research depends on speed, quality, and cost. Because Denmark is widely recognized as a region that generates high quality data, an enhanced ability to attract future trials could be achieved if speed can be improved by taking advantage of the comprehensive national and regional registries. A "single point-of-entry" system has been established to support collaboration between hospitals and industry. When assisting industry in early-stage feasibility assessments, potential trial participants are identified by use of registries to shorten the clinical trial startup times. The Aarhus University Clinical Trial Candidate Database consists of encrypted data from the Danish National Registry of Patients allowing an immediate estimation of the number of patients with a specific discharge diagnosis in each hospital department or outpatient specialist clinic in the Central Denmark Region. The free access to health care, thorough monitoring of patients who are in contact with the health service, completeness of registration at the hospital level, and ability to link all databases are competitive advantages in an increasingly complex clinical trial environment. Keywords: Denmark, single point-of-entry, patient registratio
Late Glacial and Holocene shore-level changes in the Aarhus Bugt area, Denmark
No full textWe propose a new relative shore-level curve for the Aarhus Bugt area, an embayment in eastern Jylland, Denmark, based on a compilation of published and new radiocarbon ages of organic material. Lakes existed in the area during the Late Glacial and Early Holocene. Lake level rose gradually until the region was inundated by the sea at c. 9000 cal. years BP. The relative sea level reached a high stand at about 6000 cal. years BP, when the local relative sea level was c. 3 m above present-day mean sea level. The Aarhus Bugt area was inundated by the sea later than the Limfjord area in northern Jylland, but earlier than the Lillebælt region in southern Denmark. The shore-level curves for these areas differ partly because the glacio-isostatic uplift was more pronounced in the Limfjord area than farther south and partly because the northern regions were inundated by the sea earlier than the southern areas
