Henrik Pontoppidans "Märchen"
No full textDer dänische Nobelpreisträger Henrik Pontoppidan (1857-1943) ist vor allem für seine drei großen Romane "Det forjættede Land", "Lykke-Per" und "De Dødes Rige". Von großer Bedeutung sind aber auch seine Erzählungen, die vom landlichen Leben und den sozialen Unterschieden geprägt sind. Die Märchensammlung "Krøniker" erschien im Jahr 1890 und enthält verschiedene fürr Pontoppidans Schaffen signifikante Merkmale. In der vorliegenden Arbeit werden diese vorgestellt. Der Hauptteil stellt die Übersetzung von "Krøniker" ins Deutsche dar.The danish nobel prize winner Henrik Pontoppidan (1857-1943) is known for the novels "Det forjættede Land", "Lykke-Per" und "De Dødes Rige". His tales, in which Pontoppidan described the daily life of poor farmers and rich lairds, are as well of importance. The fairytalecollection "Krøniker" was published in 1890 and presents some significant characteristics of the author. These characteristics are explained in this thesis. The mainpart is the translation of "Krøniker"

Methods in epidemiologic research
No full text"This book started life as a veterinary text: Veterinary Epidemiologic Research. ... Methods in Epidemiologic Research is based heavily on the material covered in Veterinary Epidemiologic Research, with 2 major changes. Firstly, all of the veterinary examples have been replaced with human medical examples. ... Secondly, nearly all references have been switched from veterinary to human examples and references have been updated (particularly for the chapters dealing with study design). It is our sincere hope that we have produced a text that will serve the medical epidemiological community as well as our first text has served the veterinary community."--Preface, p. xviii.Ian Dohoo, Wayne Martin, Henrik Stryhn.; :ill. ;25 cm; Includes bibligraphical references and index.; Two of the authors, Ian Dohoo and Henrik Stryhn, are members of faculty at the University of Prince Edward Island.Source type: Print(0
Henrik Ibsen: An Enemy of the People - Complex Scenic Design
No full textTheoretical part of this work is concerned about historical roots of the theatre play Enemy of the People by Henrik Ibsen. It is also concerned about history of Estate Theater in Pra-gue, where the play should take place. I am also concerned about the background of the author Henrik Ibsen's life. And also part of the work is about other previews authors, that have been working on the play before. In Practical part I offer new solution for visual part of the drama in context of present time and space
‘Something Out of the Way’: Edmund Gosse’s Biography of Henrik Ibsen
No full textIn 1907, Edmund Gosse published two biographies, Father and Son: A Study of Two Temperaments and Henrik Ibsen. In her chapter on Edmund Gosse’s biography of Henrik Ibsen, Suze van der Poll examines how far we can say that Gosse’s Father and Son functions as a source of inspiration for Henrik Ibsen. Looking more closely at the structural principles of the work and Gosse’s presentation of temperament and his use of narrative techniques, she demonstrates that the English biographer’s portrait not only shapes Ibsen as a canonical European author and citizen of the world, but at the same time reflects Gosse’s own development, as both human being and literary critic
Landskabet som metafor hos Henrik Pontoppidan
No full textAbstract
It is well-known that landscapes play an important role in Henrik Pontoppidan´s works. But the landscapes are not only used by the author to create a backdrop for the plot, they are also part of a metaphorical deep structure in the texts. In this essay, Christian de Thurah examines one of Pontoppidan´s minor novels, Højsang, in order to show in detail how Pontoppidan made use of this metaphorical layer

A modelling approach to predict the variation of repeatability and reproducibility of a RT-PCR assay for infectious salmon anaemia virus across infection prevalences and infection stages
No full textConventional studies on the precision of diagnostic tests with binary outcomes report single descriptive estimates of agreement for a particular pool of samples. However, agreement for binary tests is intrinsically associated with the assay operating characteristics that are influenced by population and laboratory covariate factors. Therefore, reporting agreement estimates under various conditions may be more appropriate for diagnostic test comprehension. In this study, the influence of various submission factors (tissue sample homogenization, prevalence of infection and pathogen level) on agreement was further analyzed using test result information from a previous descriptive report of within and between laboratories agreement (repeatability and reproducibility, respectively) of a Reverse-Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) assay for infectious salmon anaemia virus (ISAV). Multilevel logistic regression models were constructed separately for non-, low- or high-infected salmon (classified using a study pseudogold standard) to predict probabilities of testing positive under different testing conditions. For each of the 3 infection categories, agreement and kappa values within and between laboratories were computed from the models' predicted values using probability formulae. Thereafter, overall estimates were predicted using simple category weighting for various proportions of infection stages. Agreement varied substantially among infection categories and, consequently, overall repeatability and reproducibility varied greatly with prevalence. This confirmed that the report of a single descriptive estimate (corresponding to a set prevalence) may not be appropriate. Low-infected fish had the lowest agreement estimate which was improved by sample homogenization. This supported a heterogeneous distribution of ISAV in early infected salmon kidney. However, tissue homogenization increased the probability to obtain a false-positive test result (cross-contamination suspected) and decreased agreement in non-infected fish. Compared to conventional report of test agreement estimation, the modelling approach identified influencing submission factors and provided predictive intervals of agreement that give a better expectation and understanding of assay repeatability and reproducibility under different circumstances of use.Charles Caraguel, Henrik Stryhn, Nellie Gagné, Ian Dohoo, Larry Hammellhttp://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/219452
