In my article I examine three central intertexts in the short story “Även dina kameler” (Even your camels) written by the Finland-Swedish author Solveig von Schoultz in 1965. The short story includes several, “odd” intertextual fragments, which all seem to point at a secret of some kind, hidden from the reader. In my analysis I use the definition of the term “subtext”, put forward by the literary critic Michael Riffaterre in his book Fictional Truth, in order to show how the mysteriousness of the text is constructed, how the intertexts build up the “subtext” of the short story and what the secret is that the story both hides and signals of. This way one gets a picture of how the seemingly plain and realistic text is actually built up in an effective and elaborate way and characterised by high textual density.
The analyzed intertexts all relate to certain topics: a mother, who is distant or dead, a woman’s identity and changes in it, and how words get or loose their meaning. All in all, the short story shows both on its explicit and hidden level how the death of the protagonist’s mother – the hidden secret of the text – has lead to the creation of a language of one’s own. The significance of language is, then, connected to loss. The strange words and allusions the woman protagonist uses also put forward the metalinguistic and poetic message of the story; the importance of language, and how language can both carry meanings, and become empty of meaning. In this way the story is even connected to the author’s own enterprise
Aesops Fabler
No full textThis slim book of some 24 pages was apparently a Christmas gift of the Bergen Faktorforening. In fact, Wiig had done a 1951 translation of Aesop 106 pages in length, illustrated by Johan Berle Reidar and published by J.W. Eides. I have found a copy available and have ordered it. I am delighted to find this book from Bergen and from a Bergen bookseller because I did not have time to seek out booksellers during our short stay there this summer. Strong endpapers offer a forest with a lion attacking, a squirrel (?) fleeing, and a donkey prancing. The Aesop of the cover and title page look to me as though they were in India. That cover has a background of green and gold for its line-drawing of the seated fabulist. In the book's first illustration, miller and son both are bent in dejection. I need a good Norwegian to tell me what happened to their ass! There are two strong, highly interpretative illustrations for OR and three for FG. Similarly, the artist takes two moments to picture in AD. The second pictures quite dramatically and minutely the ant biting the big toe of the hairy hunter. Is that Androcles in the last picture? Is there a text to accompany this picture? It is a feather in the cap of this collection that a rare book like this becomes available here. Online I could find only four copies. Two are in Denmark, one is in China, and the last is at the University of Southern California. This copy has a slightly musty smell.This is a hardbound book (hard cover)Language note: NorwegianLimited to 300 copiesOversatt av Hanna Wii

Literacy Events in Writing Play Workshops with Children Aged Three to Five: A Study of Agential Cuts with the Artographic Triple Dimensions as a Lens
Get PDFThe aim of this article is to explore how the multiple perspectives offered by an artographer’s lens contribute to three literacy events generated by writing play activities for children three to five years old. These events are part of a more comprehensive study of emergent literacy in writing play workshops, focusing on writing in different displays and with different writing tools. The artographer in the comprehensive study is Solveig Åsgard Bendiksen, also the first author in this article. The two other co-authors contribute with artographic methodology and with concepts from agential realism in the analysis of three literacy events. The intra-actions between the artographer, the children, the affects, the affordance of rich materials, and the context as performative agents in diffractive reading produced a number of findings concerning emergent writing literacy, especially concerning emergent cultural literacy
Risk factors for lameness in cubicle housed Austrian Simmental dairy cows
No full textAustrian dairy farming is characterised by predominant use of Simmental cows on small-scale farms. Our aim was to identify lameness risk factors related to housing and management in cubicle housed Austrian dairy cows. Furthermore, we used animal-based parameters (ABP) as integrated measures of cubicle quality and feeding management. The first author visited 30 farms in eastern Austria with 24-54 cows (mean = 35) in the milking herd during winter housing period, and collected data on housing, management, behaviour, and lameness via direct observations and an interview (part of Welfare Quality(R) project). Mean lameness prevalence was 31% (range 6-70%). Data were analysed using logistic regression with generalised estimating equations (GEE). The final model was based on 832 cows and included six risk variables, five ABP, and the significant confounders 'county' and 'lactation number'. Odds for lameness increased with decreasing lying comfort, except for cubicle width. The following lying-related factors were significant in the final model (odds ratios (OR) in brackets): mats/mattresses as opposed to deep bedded cubicle base (1.61), length of lying area (OR 186-191 vs. 3.5 had at least 0.39 lower odds of being lame, while cows with suboptimal milk protein content (3.8%) had 1.37 times higher odds. Odds for lameness clearly increased with age (OR lactation >4 vs. 1 = 3.38). In sum, lying comfort and nutrition are key areas for lameness prevention on modern dairy farms in Austria with herd sizes above 30 cows. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V.

Abstract
Objectives The aim of this study was to provide recommendations to hospital owners and employee unions about developing efficient, sustainable and safe work-hour agreements. Employees at two clinics of a hospital, one a non-intensive care and the other a newborn intensive care unit (ICU), trialled 12-hour shifts on weekends for 1 year.
Methods We systematically recorded the experiences of 24 nurses’ working 12-hour shifts, 16 in the medical unit and 8 in the ICU for 1 year. All were interviewed before, during and at the end of the trial period. The interview material was recorded, transcribed to text and coded systematically.
Results The experiences of working 12-hour shifts differed considerably between participants, especially those in the ICU. Their individual experiences differed in terms of health consequences, effects on their family, appreciation of extra weekends off, perceived effects on patients and perceived work task flexibility.
Conclusions The results indicate that individual preference for working 12-hour shifts is a function of own health situation, family situation, work load tolerance, degree of sleep problems, personality and other factors. If the goal is to recruit and retain nurses, nurses should be free to choose to work 12-hour shifts

Lennart Nilsson's Fish-Eyes : A Photographic and Cultural History of Views from Below
Get PDFThis article examines the Swedish photo-grapher Lennart Nilsson’s wide-angle imagery in its production and circulation contexts from the mid-1960s to the 1980s. It focuses in particular on a sample of photographs, labelled “fish-eye” because of the specific nature of their distorted perspective, which he produced for magazines, books and films during this period. The aim is to shed light on how these pictures contributed to stimulating an alternative mode of spectatorship, the view from below, challenging the viewing position created by the traditional linear perspective of painting and photography. The author shows how an immersive and transparent experience of the images could exist side by side with its apparent opposite: the hypermediated experience of the same type of image. It is also suggested that Nilsson’s fish- eye photographs have been important in naturalizing a specific way of seeing foetal life in contemporary visual and media culture

Media as Modern Magic : Early X-Ray Imaging and Cinematography in Sweden
No full textThis article examines different forms of intermedial relations between x-ray imaging and cinematography in the media culture around 1900, mainly in a Swedish context. With the Stockholm Exhibition of 1897 as one of the focal points, the author argues that these two media were linked in their production, distribution and exhibition as well as in the envisioned audience reception. More specifically, the aim is to show how collaboration and competition between these new media can be understood in relation to nineteenth-century discourses on 'modern magic'. Through the marketing in other media - illustrated books, articles, caricatures and advertising in the press - an expectation was fostered that the x-ray apparatus and the Cinematographe could perform operations that once had been thought of as impossible or magical. In a similar manner, the media industries, scientific performers and entrepreneurial showmen launched x-ray imaging and cinematography as something new, strange and even exotic. In the end it was the cinema that proved to be more successful in inventing new 'magical' tricks, and x-rays were appropriated for other, medical services, but through innovative uses, the moving x-ray pictures could once again become new and fascinating
