A real or a fictive problem: immigrants in Denmark
No full textProblems relating to immigration and immigrants have become of increasing political and public interest within Denmark in recent years. In an international perspective the number of immigrants as well as the problems associated are small and insignificant, and the actual knowledge and research in immigrant problems is limited. However immigrants or foreigners are «hot» political «stuff» and the lack of actual knowledge is unscrupulously «used». The present article attempts to gather some factual information on immigrants in Denmark. Furthermore it attempts to show how housing policy deliberately as well as accidentally influences immigrant location and thus the public perception of the «problem».Les problèmes liés à l'immigration et aux immigrés intéressent de plus en plus la politique et le grand public au Danemark. Sur le plan international, tant le nombre d'immigrés que les problèmes qui leur sont associés sont faibles et insignifiants. La connaissance et la recherche sur les problèmes immigrés sont tout aussi limitées. Cependant les immigrés ou les étrangers forment un sujet politique chaud et le manque de connaissance est exploité sans scrupules. Cet article rassemble une série de faits à propos de l'immigration au Danemark. Il montre aussi comment la politique du logement influence la localisation des immigrés, tant intentionnellement qu'accidentellement, ce qui contribue à la perception publique du « problème ».Andersen Hans Thor, Engelstoft Sten, Rasmussen Sten Valling.

Multimodal pain management after arthroscopic surgery
Full text linkMultimodal Pain Management after Arthroscopic SurgeryBy Sten Rasmussen, M.D.The thesis is based on four randomized controlled trials. The main hypothesis was that multimodal pain treatment provides faster recovery after arthroscopic surgery. NSAID was tested against placebo after knee arthroscopy. Intraarticular bupivacaine plus morphine plus steroid was tested against bupivacaine plus morphine and against saline in two trials after arthroscopic knee meniscectomy and diagnostic knee arthroscopy respectively. Intraarticular bupivacaine plus morphine plus steroid was tested against saline after operative ankle arthroscopy. Oral NSAID reduced time to work from 17 to 14 days after knee arthroscopy. Intra-articular treatment with bupivacaine plus morphine and bupivacaine plus morphine plus steroid after arthroscopic knee meniscectomy reduced time to work from 10 to 5 to 3 days. Intraarticular treatment with bupivacaine plus morphine and bupivacaine plus morphine plus steroid after diagnostic knee arthroscopy reduced time to work from 10 to 5 to 2 days. Additional analysis revealed that the surgical trauma and the use of tourniquet influenced recovery.The thesis proves a reduction in the time to return to work after knee and ankle arthroscopy with the use of oral NSAIDs combined with bupivacaine plus morphine or combined with bupivacaine, morphine plus steroid. <br/

Interculturality - narrative forms in Sten Nadolny's novels
Full text linkDie Dissertation zum Thema -»Interkulturalität - Erzählformen im Werk von Sten Nadolny-« behandelt ausgewählte Romanwerke von Sten Nadolny, nämlich "Die Entdeckung der Langsamkeit" (1983) und "Selim oder Die Gabe der Rede" (1990). In ihr werden die Ambivalenz des Verhältnisses von Eigenem und Fremdem und die dazu in den Texten praktizierten Modelle des Austauschs zwischen diesen beiden Instanzen untersucht. Die in den Romanen angesprochenen Problemfelder der 'Langsamkeit' und der 'Rede' erscheinen als zwei Merkmale randständiger Identität, die in Opposition und wechselseitigem Dialog mit den herrschenden Wahrnehmungen und Verständnissen der Umgebung stehen. Die Thematik der Interkulturalität als Wechselwirkung von Fremdem und Eigenem und ihre erzähltechnische Verwirklichung in den Romanen umfassen Aspekte des Inhalts und der Form. Ihre Betrachtung in der vorliegenden Arbeit ist durch die eigene fremdkulturelle Sicht der untersuchenden Instanz geprägt. Damit aber wird eine Infragestellung herkömmlicher Methoden der Analyse möglich. Das Ziel ist, eine neue (fremdkulturelle) Perspektive bei der Behandlung von interkulturell bezogenen Werken einzubeziehen. Dazu dient insbesondere die Betrachtung der Wechselwirkung zwischen alternativen erzähltechnischen Ausdrucksmöglichkeiten und alternierenden Erzählinhalten in Nadolnys erzählerischem Konzept. Die Auseinandersetzung der Literaturkritik mit dem Thema des Fremden und Eigenen wird durch das Verständnis der Verfasserin aus fremder Sicht kritisch kommentiert. Die vorliegende Arbeit umfasst fünf Kapitel. Auf das Konzept des Erzählers Sten Nadolny, sein Verständnis des Erzählens und seine Erzähltechnik wird auch im Rahmen der Diskussion um die ›Postmoderne‹ eingegangen. Hierbei soll besonders auf sein Arbeitsverfahren aufmerksam gemacht werden, das sich den ästhetischen Möglichkeiten des "fremden Blicks" widmet. Kapitel II und III gehen auf die Konstruktion der Lebensgeschichten und anschließend auf den Wechsel der Erzählformen ein. In Kapitel IV legen Schlussfolgerungen aus dieser Auseinandersetzung mit Werk und Erzähler Position und Rolle Sten Nadolnys in der deutschen Gegenwartsliteratur fest. Die Arbeit endet mit einem Kapitel zur Literatur über Sten Nadolny und sein Werk, Erzählen, Interkulturalität und Postmoderne.This dissertation "Interculturality - narrative forms in Sten Nadolny- novels" treats selected novel works of Sten Nadolny, i.e. "The Discovery of Slowness" (1983) and "Selim or The Gift of Speech" (1990). The ambivalence of the relationship between the Self and the Other as well as the types of exchange between these two instances is practiced in the texts and examined. The problematic forms of 'slowness' and 'speech' addressed in both novels appear to reinforce a sense of "exiled" identity, which stands as two characteristics in opposition and mutual dialogue with the dominant perceptions and understandings of the environment. Their narrative implementation in the novels, in the contents and in their formal structure address the issue of Interculturality as a reciprocal relationship between the self and the other. The characters" points of view in the available works are changed by the presence of foreigners" cultural viewpoints. Thus the questioning of conventional methods of the analysis becomes possible. The goal of this dissertation is to include within this perspective a treatment of intercultural references. In addition the dissertation discusses in particular the view of reciprocity between alternative structural possibilities and alternative narrative possibilities in Nadolny- work. A discussion of the literary critical history on the history of the Other and the Self is augmented by the author- own perspective on foreignness. The argument is divided into five chapters. The first chapter explores the concept of the storyteller Sten Nadolny within the context of Postmodernism criticism. Here particular attention is paid to his narrative structure and the aesthetic possibilities of the "foreign" view. Chapters II and III deal with the construction of life stories and the subsequent transformation of the narrative forms. In the concluding chapters the storyteller- positionality and role of Sten Nadolnys in contemporary German literature. The work ends with a chapter dedicated to the literature about Sten Nadolny, his work, narration, interculturality and postmodernism

Ultrasonography of the lateral ligament in ankle sprains
No full textUltralydes undersøgelse af de lateral ligamenter ved ankel forstuvninger Baggrund: Det akutte laterale ankel forstuvning udgør 85% af alle forstuvninger. Den laterale forstuvning er også set med andre ligament skader, såsom medial og syndesmosis forstuvninger. Omkring 20% af det akutte laterale forstuvning udvikler kronisk lateral ankel ustabilitet. Definitionen på kroniske ankel ustabilitet er vedvarende smerter, gentagne gange ankel forstuvninger og følelsen af fodsvigt. Formålet med denne studie var, ved at bruge ultralyden til at evaluere og karakteriser en ledbåndsskade i anklen med det henblik på at beskrive og sammenligne den skade som patienten rapporteret spørgeskemaer resultat.Materialer og metoder: studiet er tværsnitsundersøgelse og startet fra 15. 11.- 26. 11.2015. Det er inkluderet 26 patienter (18-40 år) fra besøgt skadestuen, som er diagnosticeret ankel forstuvning med følgende diagnosekode (DS934). Patienterne blev kontaktede pr. Telefon og hermed blev inviteret til en klinisk og en dynamisk ultralydsundersundersøgelse af det skadet ledbånd inden for 15 dage efter den aktuelle forstuvningen. Med en høj frekvens ultralydsscanning den akutte laterale ledbåndsskade (ATFL, CFL), syndesmosis (AiTFL) skade) og medial forstuvning (DPT, TCT) kun hos deltagere med den positive kliniske tegn på mediale skade.( dvs. rødme, hævelse, misfarvning og klinisk smerter ved palpation af det medial side af anklen) Derefter fulgtes deltagerne op i et år med (PROMs- patient –rapporteret spørgeskema ) pr. mail hver 3. måned fra den dato som de har fået deres primære forstuvning.Først er der blevet lavet en beskrivelse af hele de opsamlende resultater. Derefter er der blevet lavt en forhold studie analyse, med to følgende teste: Spearmans Rank koffient. Hvis de klinisk tegne og ultralydes fund ligament skader har en p-værdi der er under 0.05 så valgt vi at gå videre og lave en anden statistisk test, som hedder multiple logistisk regression for vores binær værdier. Hvis Multiple logistisk regression har også en P-værdi under 0.05 så kan man statistisk forudsige hvilke klinisk tegn kan være markør for en bestem ledbåndsskade. Resultater: 16 kvinder og 10 mænd, og den gennemsnitlige alder var på 26,7 år, og den gennemsnitlige BMI var 26,6 (17,2-41,3) deltog.Ultralyde af ATFL trukket er 7.7%, halv overivning af ATFL 27%, og total overrivning var på 62%. Normal ATFL var på 3.85%. AiTFL trukket 15.38%, halv 15.38 helt overivning 15.38, og normalt AiTFL 54%CFL trukket 15.38, halv overrivning 23.08 og ingen har total overrivning og normal CFL 62%. Medial side 35% fik ikke Ul af deres ledbånd pga. ingen medial symptomer og undersøgelse var positiv, og mens 54 havde normal ledbånd og 12 vist anormalitet. To kliniske tegn statistisk har en sammenhæng og multipel logistisk regressions analyse bekræftede resultaterne. Med UL undersøgelse af en bekræftede halv overivning af ATFL og normal CFL. Ømhed ved AiTFL når man klinisk palperer ledbånd, og det viser ved halv overrivning af ATFL. Normal CFL bekræftet af Ul undersøgelse forudsiger at patienter med udløst smerter ved aktiv planter fleksion af anklen har en normal bekræftet CFL. Konklusion:Resultaterne for ATFL halv skadet forudsiger forudsiger klinisk ømhed på AiTFL og patienter præsenteret med intakt CFL rapporteret smerter under aktiv planter fleksion. De overordnede kliniske tegn og objektive undersøgelser var upålidelige faktorer til forudsige lateral (ATFL, CFL), syndesmosis (AiTFL) og medial ledbåndsskader sammenlignet med resultaterne fra Ul undersøgelsen..Background: The acute lateral ankle sprain accounts for 85% of all sprains. The lateral sprain associated with other ligament injuries, such as medial and syndesmosis sprain. In the long-term approximately 20% of the acute lateral sprain develops chronic lateral ankle instability (CLAI). The definition of the chronic ankle instability is persistent pains, repeatedly ankle sprains and episodes of ankle giving away. Study aim: The aim of this study was by using the ultrasonography to evaluate with the grade of an ankle ligament injury with the purpose to correlate the injury to patient-reported questionnaires outcome. Methods: A cross-sectional study design performed from 15th of October to 26th of November. 26 subjects (18-40 years) from the emergency department who diagnosed with an ankle sprain (DS934) were invited to a clinical examination and performed a dynamic US examination of ankle ligaments within 15 days after the acute sprain. We evaluated with high frequency (15-6 MHz) ultrasonography the acute lateral ligament injuries (ATFL, CFL), syndesmosis injury ( AiTFL) and medial injury (dPT, TCt) only in participants with the positive clinical signs of medial injury. We follow participants up to one year with electronically (PROMQ) per. email sent every 3rd month from the date of the acute primary sprain. Results: 16 women and 10 men and the mean age was 26.7 years wtih the mean BMI was 26.6 (17.2-41.3) participated.Two clinical signs statistically correlated and multiple logistic regression analysis confirmed the results. Positive palpated tenderness AiTFL predicted with partial ruptured ATFL and reported pain during active plantar flexion of ankle predicted with normal CFL confirmed by the US. Conclusion: The study predicted patients with partial rupture of ATFL clinical present with tenderness at AiTFL point and patients presented with intact CFL reported pain during active plantar flexion. The overall clinical signs and physical examinations were unreliable factors to predicate lateral (ATFL, CFL), syndesmosis injuries (AiTFL) and medial ligament injuries compared with the US findings. <br/
