Modeling the Effects of Duration and Size of the Control Zones on the Consequences of a Hypothetical African Swine Fever Epidemic in Denmark

African swine fever (ASF) is a notifiable infectious disease. The disease is endemic in certain regions in Eastern Europe constituting a risk of ASF spread toward Western Europe. Therefore, as part of contingency planning, it is important to continuously explore strategies that can effectively control an epidemic of ASF. A previously published and well documented simulation model for ASF virus spread between herds was used to examine the epidemiologic and economic impacts of the duration and size of the control zones around affected herds. In the current study, scenarios were run, where the duration of the protection and surveillance zones were reduced from 50 and 45 days to 35 and 25 days or to 35 and 25 days, respectively. These scenarios were run with or without enlargement of the surveillance zone around detected herds from 10 to 15 km. The scenarios were also run with only clinical or clinical and serological surveillance of herds within the zones. Sensitivity analysis was conducted on influential input parameters in the model. The model predicts that reducing the duration of the protection and surveillance zones has no impact on the epidemiological consequences of the epidemics, while it may result in a substantial reduction in the total economic losses. In addition, the model predicts that increasing the size of the surveillance zone from 10 to 15 km may reduce both the epidemic duration and the total economic losses, in case of large epidemics. The ranking of the control strategies by the total costs of the epidemics was not influenced by changes of input parameters in the sensitivity analyses

Scenography in the staging / on the Stage / in the Mind of the Audience

In contemporary theatre the division between the different components within the production of a performance or play is often blurry. What then is the role and function of scenography? And who is the scenographer? In this article we explore how scenography relates to the performance as a whole and how it is now more explicitly considered to be a ‘producer of meaning’, resulting in a particular focus on the visual and sensuous aspects of the production process. Three pairs of theatre and performance creators within the Norwegian contemporary scene have been interviewed for this article, and their projects constitute the material for discussion: 1)The art and theatre company Verdensteatret, 2) Heine Avdal and Yukiko Shinozaki, contemporary dance developers, and 3) Director Eirik Stubø and scenographer Kari Gravklev. Through an analysis of their performances in relation to the interview material, it has become clear that the role of the scenographer as a distinct function is far from distinct - only one of the interviewed artists calls herself scenographer, for the others it is more a matter of opposing to the term or of not really relating to it. Here, the theatre institutions as well as the art institutional contexts seem to be significant. Scenography however, as a field of investigation, becomes all the more relevant both inside and outside institutions, representing a sensuous landscaping that involves both context and matter

Udviklingszoner i dansk scenekunst

Hvis scenekunsten skal forny sig, så er der behov for at få lovfæstede rammer for de decentrale, frie scenekunstnetværk. Det kræver politisk nytænkning og inversteringer i entreprenørerne indenfor dansk scenekunst
