National arkivering af e-tidsskrifter og e-bøger i Danmark - nu eller aldrig?

De senere år har der været arbejdet intensivt med permanent adgang og adgang ved opsigelser til elektroniske tidsskrifter og bøger. Der er set på løsninger, rettigheder, forhandlet med forlag, været dialog med udlandet m.m. Nu nærmer det sig, at vi efter 20 år med elektroniske tidsskrifter kan træffe en beslutning om ”go” eller ”no go” til en national arkiveringsløsning i Danmark

Hyrdeliv og paradisdrøm. Om Grundtvigs syn på hyrder

Pastoral Life and Paradise DreamBy Inger Lise MikkelsenIn »The World Chronicle«, 1814, Grundtvig writes that the people of poetry, the ancient Hebrews, were a race of shepherds. The shepherds are not tied to material things, but live a life in freedom. On the plains, tending his flock, the shepherd experiences everything that is alive and growing as images of God’s creative power. Thus, he intuitively perceives his position as a creature facing his Creator.With this basic view as a point of departure, Grundtvig rewrites the Biblical stories of the shepherds Abraham and Jacob, Moses and David. They are all in an immediate, intimate contact with God, but as they live at different times, God endows them with different abilities appropriate for their concrete historical situation. Abraham and Jacob are the shepherds of faith, Moses is the shepherd of fight and hope, and David is the shepherd of love. They are all models, not because they are heroes, but because they recognize their own fragility.In the church texts, the shepherds of Christmas night play a particularly important role. In the hymn .The Christmas Chimes are sounding now. (Det kimer nu til julefest) from 1817, it is a main thought that the singers must remember pastoral life and come along into the field to hear the angel’s message together with the shepherds. To people who have a sense of the miraculous as the shepherds do, the field at Bethlehem is the centre of interest. Today only children possess a genuine shepherd’s mind. The adult can learn from them. The essential thing is to learn how to regain the child’s mind.In connection with the child theme, as shown by Chr. Thodberg, Grundtvig develops, through the 1820s, his understanding of baptism as the occasion when the adult may re-enter the dreamland of his childhood. Here Grundtvig uses Jacob’s ladder as an image of the adult’s return to his hitherto forgottem baptism.Another theme that Grundtvig makes frequent use of is the dilapidated cottage of the shepherd, his hut. He uses it as an image of man’s heart, which to Grundtvig is God’s dwelling on earth. The hut and the ladder become recurring images in Grundtvig’s hymns.Frequently the two images supplement each other so that the shepherds and Bethlehem may now move into the church. It is no longer the field, but the heart that rings with the angels’ song. Here, in the shepherd’s hut, is raised Jacob’s ladder, which reminds the singer of the childhood life under God’s care.In Grundtvig’s eyes every Christian is therefore a shepherd like the patriarchs. But above all the one baptized is like the good shepherd himself, renewing the paradise life that God created man for

Prognoser vs. virkelighed

Der er ofte stor forskel mellem prognoser for turisme udviklingen og den faktiske udvikling. Denne publikation behandler prognoser vs. virkelighed for de forskellige overnatningstyper i dansk turisme. Endvidere omtales forskellige forecastmetoder kort. Forecasts får ofte en slags dobbeltrolle, nemlig at fungere som egentlig forudsigelse og at fungere som markedsføringsinstrument. Ofte kan et forventet resultat "pyntes" for at vise en markedsføringseffekt om, at "her går det godt". Dette medfører utroværdige prognoser. Som det fremgår af nærværende publikation er antallet af overnatninger i Danmark faldende fra 2003 til 2004. Ydermere er overnatningstallet, gjort op ultimo september 2005, faldet med 700.000 fra 2004 til 2005. På denne baggrund bør det overvejes at få etableret mere præcise forudsigelsesmodeller. Center for Tourism and Culture Management medvirker gerne her til, i fald der kan skaffes funding til dette. Oplægget til denne publikation er udarbejdet af Lise Lyck, mens datafremskaffelsen er foretaget af Jakob Slej Mikkelsen

Survey on basic knowledge about exposure and potential environmental and health risks for selected nanomaterials

På basis af en litteraturundersøgelse gives en generel beskrivelse samt en miljø- og sundhedsprofil af 7 nanomaterialer. De undersøgte nanomaterialer er udvalgt på grund af forventet stor anvendelse eller særlige miljø- og sundhedsegenskaber. Fullerener, jern, sølv, nanoler samt titan-, cerium- og silicium dioksid har indgået i undersøgelsen. Det påpeges, at der er lille sandsynlighed for, at nuværende anvendelser af nano-jern og nanoler kan give uforudsete, nanorelaterede miljø- eller sundhedsproblemer. For de øvrige nanomaterialer, er der områder, hvor der kan være grund til opmærksomhed og til af skaffe mere viden, selvom der ikke er identificeret konkret risiko i forbindelse med nuværende anvendelser af nogen af de 7 undersøgte nanomaterialer.Based on a literature review this report provides a general description as well as an environmental and health profile of 7 nanomaterials. The examined nanomaterials are selected because of expected high use or specific environmental and health properties. Fullerenes, iron, silver, nanoclay and titanium-, cerium-, and silicondioxides were studied in the project. Based on current uses, it is concluded that current applications of nano-iron and nanoclay can not cause unexpected “nano-associated” health or environmental problems. Although no specific risk associated with current uses of any of the 7 other nanomaterials were identified, there are areas where there may be reason for attention and thus need for more knowledge
