Helge S. Kragh, Conceptions of Cosmos [Book Review]
No full textHelge S. Kragh, historian of science and prolific author of books (and a member of the editorial board
of this journal), has given us nothing less than a thorough history of cosmology, from biblical myths to
the present view of accelerated expansion. It’s a noble thing to try, and even if it isn’t always perfectly
accurate, Conceptions of Cosmos makes a real contribution to the literature
I remember life as an Estonian at Seabrook
No full textIn this "I remember" memoir, Helge Kangur recalls her Estonian upbringing at Seabrook. She realizes now how fortunate she was to grow up in such a diverse community. The Seabrook Educational and Cultural Center has been soliciting current and past residents of Seabrook Farms for an "I remember" project. Residents are asked to create narratives regarding their experiences at Seabrook Farms. These memories help preserve the history and multi-cultural heritage of Seabrook Farms
Cytokines and psychiatric symptoms in patients receiving inpatient treatment: The relationship between changes in immune activation and symptoms of mental distress: A 12-week follow-up study of patients with mental health disorders.
No full textPatients with common psychiatric diseases like mood disorders and anxiety disorders have often been found to exhibit chronically elevated levels of pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines when compared to healthy people. Studies have found such associations in cross-sectional assessments, but little is known about how the relationship between cytokines and psychiatric symptom change over time in patients receiving inpatient treatment. It is also unclear if psychiatric diseases precede chronic inflammation, or if chronic inflammation precedes psychiatric diseases, although increasing evidence suggests a bidirectional loop. In addition, the use of anti-inflammatory drugs could mediate such associations. This doctoral thesis aimed to investigate the levels and trajectories of cytokines IL-1β, IL-1RA, MCP-1 and TNF-α and psychiatric symptoms as measured by SCL-90R GSI and BDI-II in a mixed sample of psychiatric patients across 12 weeks of inpatient treatment at Modum Bad Psychiatric Center. The use of anti-inflammatory drugs was taken into account. Patients diagnosed with Post-traumatic stress disorder had higher cytokine levels and showed a more severe development in cytokine levels across the treatment period than patients with depression, anxiety or eating disorder. The cytokines in patients without PTSD were either unchanged or showed decreasing levels across time. Regardless of diagnosis, most patients benefited from treatment, as reported by lower GSI scores at discharge. The levels of IL-1RA and MCP-1 were not associated with the trajectory of psychiatric symptom scores across time, but were associated with psychiatric symptom level. This result was only present in patients who did not use anti-inflammatory drugs, possibly suggesting a mediating effect of such drugs on psychiatric symptoms for patients in treatment
Renaissancen og middelalderen som periodiseringsbegreber:et essay
No full textThe essay discusses the traditional and the occasionally exaggerated use of periodisations in general historical studies. The terms 'the Middle Ages' and 'the Renaissance' have had very long and complicated histories of their own. Of the two terms "the Middle Ages", which was originally a pejorative expression, has appeared to be the strongest of the two, whereas the term 'the Renaissance' has had a much more chaotic history in historiography. During the last 150 years of historical writing and thinking it has gone from the highest success (due to Burchardt 1861) to the deepest downfall (around 1930). The author argues for the preservation of the term 'the Renaissance' for three reasons: (1) The period of the Renaissance coincides with the emergence of the modern, strong power state (from the 14th and 15th centuries onwards) in contrast to the medieval, decentralized, feudal political system, (2) the break-through of the secularisation of science, the humanities, culture and art (during the 15th and 16th centuries), and not in the least (3) the new consciousness of history (the here and now concept!), which arose in Italy in the 15th century, and which broke the millennial, traditional Christian explanation of the course of history

Kirsti Aasen: Alle mine kilder
No full textKirsti Aasen: A ll M y Springs. Gyldendal Norsk Forlag, Oslo 1986.Reviewed by Helge Baden NielsenThe title of the book are the first words of one of Grundtvig’s hymns. The reviewer sees this essay collection by a Norwegian woman minister first and foremost as an expression of the new interest in Grundtvig in Norway, as was proved by the establishment in 1983 of a special Norwegian branch of the Grundtvig Society. According to Kirsti Aasen this takes its origin in the liberation, under Grundtvig’s inspiration, from the pietistic view of Christianity in Norway. In her own case she discovered that Christianity could easily be combined with love of the Norwegian countryside and the life of the people. The author was born in .sterdalen, studied theology at Oslo University, and is now rector of a parish in Oslo
Bergmekanisk analyse av koplingssporet mellom ny og gammel Ulriken jernbanetunnel
No full textI denne masteroppgaven presenteres en bergmekanisk analyse for koplingssporet mellom ny og gammel jernbanetunnel i Ulriken. For å møte fremtidens behov har et nytt tunnelløp blitt drevet parallelt det gamle tunnelløpet. Ved Arna stasjon har et koplingsspor mellom de to tunnelløpene blitt sprengt ut. Sommeren 2021 blir gjenstående berg sprengt ut, slik at koplingssporet får gjennomslag. Mellom det nye tunnelløpet og dobbeltsporet hvor koplingstunnelen møter gammelt tunnelløp, ligger teknisk rom N2. I dette området krysser en svakhetssone tunnelen. Ingeniørgeologisk kartlegging ved bruk av Q-systemet viser at dobbelarmerte sprøytebetongbuer anbefales som permanent sikring i dobbeltsporet. På grunn av Q-systemets begrensninger i svakhetssoner og kompleks bergromsgeometri, har andre verktøy blitt benyttet for å undersøke stabilitetssituasjonen; i) laboratorieundersøkelser, ii) analytiske beregningsmetoder og iii) numerisk modellering. Laboratorieundersøkelsene beskriver berget i svakhetssonen som svakt, som svært sterkt anisotropt og med høy holdbarhet mot slaking. I svakhetssonen, som beskrives som en kompleks leirrik knusningssone med leirinfisert sideberg, ble svært aggresivt materiale påvist ved undersøkelse av svelleegenskaper ved utdriving. Skattepliktig arealmetode indikerer at bergstabben mellom dobbeltsporet og N2 vil gå i brudd, forutsatt at den er usikret. Videre antyder beregninger av bøyemoment at gitterdragere alene ikke tåler belastningen fra en løs kile i dobbeltsporet. For å beskrive deformasjoner knyttet til spenningsomlagringer ved berguttaket har numerisk modellering blitt utført i EX3 og RS2. Spenningsinduserte deformasjoner i dobbeltsporet antas å være størst i veggene. I dobbeltsporet anses det mest kritiske stabilitetsproblemet å være utpressing av kiler som følge av svelleprosesser. Resultatene fra numerisk modellering indikerer at armerte sprøytebetongbuer vil gi tilstrekkelig sikringseffekt på grunn av evnen til å ta opp tilleggslaster påført av svelling. For å overvåke langtidsstabiliteten i bergrommet, anbefales spennings- og deformasjonsmålinger i henhold til observasjonsmetoden

To meet future demands, a new tunnel tube has been excavated parallel to the old tunnel. Nearby Arna Station, a connection tunnel has been excavated to connect the two tubes. In the summer of 2021, the remaining rock mass will be excavated, and the diagonal tunnel will be connected to the old tunnel. Between the new tunnel tube and the double-track connection point in the old tunnel, a technical room, N2, is located. In this area, the tunnel is intersected by a weakness zone. The Q-system recommends double reinforced ribs of sprayed concrete as permanent rock support in the double-track tunnel. Due to the limitations of the Q-system in weakness zones and complex excavation geometries, other tools have been used to investigate the stability; i) laboratory tests, ii) analytical calculations and iii) numerical modelling. Laboratory tests indicate that the rock mass in the weakness zone has low strength, is very highly anisotropic, and has high slake durability. In the weakness zone, which is described as a complex clay-rich crushing zone, material with high activity was detected in testing of swelling properties while excavating the new tunnel tube. Tributary area approach suggests that failure will occur in the pillar between the double track and N2 if the pilar is unsupported. Calculations imply that a lattice girder alone will not be able to endure the bending moment inflicted by a loose wedge. To describe stress induced deformations numerical modelling has been conducted in EX3 and RS2. The most critical stability problem is considered to be the loosening of blocks due to swelling. Results from numerical modelling imply that reinforced lattice girders or ribs will give acceptable safety due to the ability to endure additional loads from swelling. To monitor the long-term stability of the tunnel, stress- and deformation measurements are recommended according to the observational method
