"Det er som at vente på et tog, der bliver ved med at være forsinket": - Coronatid fra et unge perspektiv

In the article, we are concerned with the challenges faced by young people during the corona pandemic. We focus on young people aged 15-19 who we usually think of as 'on their way out of the family', but who due to social restrictions are 'sent home in the family space'. Based on Corona as a 'break with the obvious' and with everyday life and time as central analytical categories, we focus on the corona time from the perspective of young people - understood as the different times or movements that the pandemic constitutes, and as everyday time - what it meant for the young people's everyday life to replace a social life outside the family with home life and online school. The corona crisis brought more conflicts in the family, worries, social deprivation but also more peace, nearness, presence and new thoughts about the future. In the article, we point to ambiguities, dilemmas, and movements over time in the young people's accounts of what the pandemic has brought about in terms of vulnerabilities and (new) strengths in their everyday lives. Finally, we relate our analyses to current discussions about young people's ill/well-being and the conditions of youth life. Keywords: Corona, youth life, everyday life, experiences of timeI artiklen er vi optaget af de udfordringer, unge oplevede i de år, der var præget af coronapandemien. Vi retter fokus på unge alderen 15-19 år, der kan siges at være ’på vej ud af familien’, men som på grund af nedlukninger og sociale restriktioner ’sendes hjem i familien’. Med afsæt i Corona som et ’selvfølgelighedsbrud’ og med hverdagsliv og tid som centrale analytiske kategorier sætter vi fokus på coronatiden set fra de unges perspektiv - både forstået som de forskellige tider eller bevægelser som pandemien udgjorde, men også den daglige tid, dvs. hvad det betød for de unges hverdagsliv at skifte et socialt liv uden for familien ud med hjemmeliv og onlineskole. Coronakrisen medførte både flere konflikter i familien, bekymringer, socialt savn og mere ro, nærvær med de nærmeste og nye tanker om fremtiden. I artiklen peger vi på dobbeltheder, dilemmaer og bevægelser over tid i de unges beretninger om, hvad pandemien har medført af sårbarheder og (nye) styrker i de ungeliv, de lever. Til slut perspektiverer vi til aktuelle diskussioner om unges (mis)trivsel og ungdomslivets vilkår. Nøgleord:Corona, Covid-19, ungdomsliv, hverdagsliv, tid, famili

En veloverstået dyrkningssæson med gamle ærtelinjer i organic RDD-projektet Peas & Love

Projektet Peas & Love’s første opformering af gamle ærtelinjer er nu ved at være veloverstået. Af de i alt 300 gamle linjer inkluderet i projektet, blev 110 ærtelinjer udvalgt på baggrund af proteinindhold, udbytte og slægtskab. De udvalgte ærtelinjer blev dyrket på en økologisk mark, hvor de blev opformeret i kvadrater eller lange rækker alt efter mængden af ærtefrø i beholdningen. For nogle ærtelinjer var der kun ganske få ærter tilgængelige, og de blev derfor opformeret i drivhusets beskyttende rammer. I marken blev 13 moderne ærtesorter dyrket med de gamle linjer for at kunne sammenligne vækst, udbytte og smag under samme vækstforhold

Ny viden om gamle ærtesorter

Organic RDD-projektet PEAS & LOVE undersøger, hvordan man kan at udnytte det store potentiale i gamle ærtesorter til dansk produktion af modne ærter til konsum

Seroprevalence and infection fatality rate of the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant in Denmark:A nationwide serosurveillance study

BACKGROUND: Introduction of the Omicron variant caused a steep rise in SARS-CoV-2 infections despite high vaccination coverage in the Danish population. We used blood donor serosurveillance to estimate the percentage of recently infected residents in the similarly aged background population with no known comorbidity. METHODS: To detect SARS-CoV-2 antibodies induced due to recent infection, and not vaccination, we assessed anti-nucleocapsid (anti-N) immunoglobulin G (IgG) in blood donor samples. Individual level data on SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR results and vaccination status were available. Anti-N IgG was measured fortnightly from January 18 to April 3, 2022. Samples from November 2021 were analysed to assess seroprevalence before introduction of the Omicron variant in Denmark. FINDINGS: A total of 43 088 donations from 35 309 Danish blood donors aged 17–72 years were screened. In November 2021, 1·2% (103/8 701) of donors had detectable anti-N IgG antibodies. Adjusting for test sensitivity (estimates ranging from 74%–81%) and November seroprevalence, we estimate that 66% (95% confidence intervals (CI): 63%–70%) of the healthy, similarly aged Danish population had been infected between November 1, 2021, and March 15, 2022. One third of infections were not captured by SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR testing. The infection fatality rate (IFR) was 6·2 (CI: 5·1–7·5) per 100 000 infections. INTERPRETATION: Screening for anti-N IgG and linkage to national registers allowed us to detect recent infections and accurately assess assay sensitivity in vaccinated or previously infected individuals during the Omicron outbreak. The IFR was lower than during previous waves. FUNDING: The Danish Ministry of Health
