Den paradoksale reformasjonen

I 1536 fattet den danske kongen og det danske riksrådet to vedtak. Det ene var å avskaffe den katolske kirken, det andre var å avskaffe det selvstendige norske riket og legge det under den danske kronen. I både Danmark og Norge ble dermed den protestantiske reformasjonen innført med ett slag. Dette ble gjennomført med stor konsekvens i de følgende generasjoner, men det gjorde de to landene like bare på overflaten. I Danmark sprang reformasjonsvedtaket ut av en evangelisk bevegelse, mens Norge var hundre prosent katolsk. I kombinasjon med det politiske hegemoniet, ble reformasjonen i Danmark preget av stor kirkelig aktivitet, mens Norge ble passiv mottaker av forandringene, samtidig som de katolske sympatiene lenge preget befolkningen. Da Norge endelig på slutten av 1700-tallet fikk en folkelig luthersk bevegelse, beveget Danmark seg vekk fra ortodoks lutherdom, via rasjonalismen over til 1800-tallets grundtvigianisme. På den andre siden er den katolske kirken nå fire ganger større i Norge enn i Danmark

Tożsamość narodowa i nacjonalizm w Norwegii. Podróż w czasie

In contrast to the prevailing in the 70s, 80s and 90s concepts on nation-building and national consciousness, the author develops the idea of the Norwegian national identity being present in the Middle Ages, modified and strengthened in the period of the union with Denmark (16th–18th centuries), and during the union with Sweden in the 19th century. In this time, the national identity grew into a political programme of regaining independence and building a national culture

Expression of erythropoietin and neuroendocrine markers in clear cell renal cell carcinoma

The aim of the study was to investigate the expression of erythropoietin and neuroendocrine markers in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (CCRCC). We retrospectively reviewed the medical records and re-evaluated histopathological specimens of 33 patients with CCRCC and compared with those of 11 cases of non-CCRCC. All patients were treated with a partial or radical nephrectomy at St. Olavs Hospital, Trondheim University Hospital, between 2010 and 2016. Thirty-three patients who were diagnosed with CCRCC had a total of 35 tumours, where 34 of the tumours were CCRCC and one was papillary adenoma. Thirty-three (97%) of 34 CCRCCs were positive for erythropoietin, and the same 33 (97%) tumours demonstrated strong expression for neuron-specific enolase (NSE). Two (6%) of 34 CCRCCs had a positive reaction for synaptophysin, and three (9%) of 34 were positive for CD56. Erythropoietin and NSE were negative in non-CCRCCs, and chromogranin A was negative in all tumours. The above findings suggest that there is a strong association between CCRCC and the expression of erythropoietin and NSE

Whose Tordenskjold? The Fluctuating Identities of an Eighteenth-Century Naval Hero in Nineteenth-Century Cultural Nationalisms

The naval hero Peter Wessel Tordenskjold (1690–1720) was one of the most celebrated historical figures in both nineteenth-century Norway and Denmark. This double national cultivation gave cause for an ongoing feud between Danish and Norwegian historians concerning his true fatherland. At the same time, the uncertainty surrounding his exact nationality offered a wealth of material for narratives of Dano-Norwegian, and even pan-Scandinavian rapprochement. This article explores Tordenskjold’s track record as a figure of national cultivation by treating him as a dynamic and transnational memory site (lieu de mémoire). It will be demonstrated that the contestation surrounding the ownership of his memory formed an important motivation for the rich artistic cultivation of this national hero, while the symbolic meaning attributed to him was subjected to the ideological needs of the individuals and groups appropriating him. As such, Tordenskjold came to be alternately ingrained in Danish, Norwegian, Dano-Norwegian, and Scandinavian frameworks according to the relevant political and social circumstances
