Jørgen Bruhn, Linnaeus Centre for Intermedial and Multimodal Studies, Linnaeus University Intermedial Ecocriticism: Comparing Representations of the Ecological Crisis across Media (Intermedial økokritik. Repræsentationer af økokrisen i forskellige medier) This article argues that major insights from intermedial studies and ecocriticism could be combined in order to produce a productive theoretical and methodological position called Intermedial Ecocriticism. Intermedial Ecocriticism is built upon the simple observation that the production of scientific knowledge concerning the critical ecological condition in the Anthropocene reaches the laymen public by way of non-scientific texts in a number of different media types. This corpus — called ecomedia products — covers everything from popular scientific journalism, museum exhibitions or educational material, to literary climate fiction, visual art projects and documentary film or poetry. The main goal of Intermedial Ecocriticism is to be able to analyze, interpret and compare samples from this extensive and heterogeneous corpus of texts, thus going far beyond the tradition of ecocriticism to focus only on literary and other artistic texts. Thus, the position is meant to offer a humanities contribution to better understand and act upon the pending ecological crisis. The first part of the article offers a general outline of theory and method of Intermedial Ecocriticism, whereas the second part exemplifies one particular concretization of the position. A videoanimation by Danish artist Per Arnoldi and two contemporary cli-fi novels by Mats Söderlund and Hanna Rut Carlsson are briefly analyzed and compared. The analysis focuses on the questions of narrativity and the representation of the possibility of human agency in the three ecomedia products.

Baggrund: Antibiotikaresistente mikroorganismer er et globalt folkesundhedsproblem. Trods forebyggende indsatser ses en fortsat en markant stigningi resistensudviklingen,som er en alvorlig trussel for både nuværende og fremtidens patienter. Formål: Studiet skulle belyse hvordan læger og sygeplejersker fra de danske infektions-hygiejniske enheder oplevede og håndterede risikoen for udvikling af antibiotikaresistente mikroorganismer, og om der var behov for initiativer til at sikre bedre overensstemmelse mellem den officielle og de enkelte beslutningstageres forståelse og håndteringaf problemet. Metode: Kvalitativt design,hvor det empiriske materiale blevindsamlet ved semi-strukturerede interviewsaflæger og sygeplejersker fra infektionshygiejniske enheder. Data blev analyseret med kvalitativ indholdsanalyse. Den teoretiske ramme for studiet var ledelse, intersektorielt og tværsektorielt samarbejde, samt kvalitetsforbedring og evaluering. Resultat: Studietviser at den hidtidige indsats i Danmark ikke har været tilstrækkelig for at hindre smittespredning og udvikling af nye resistente mikroorganismer. Som årsag anføres, at man ikke i tilstrækkeligt omfang efterlever anbefalingerne til, hvad der bør indgå i et infektionskontrolprogram, såsom videreuddannelse, retningslinjer, information og undervisning, overvågning og en national antibiotikapolitik. Udmeldingen var, at der var tilstrækkeligt mange og overensstemmende nationale og internationale guidelines; der var ikke behov for flere, men derimod behov for en langt bedre implementering og information til alle involverede personalegrupper Konklusion: Der bør etableres et intersektorielt og tværsektorielt nationalt samarbejde, bl.a. med fokus på at minimere antibiotikaforbruget. Til dette kræves deltagelse af praktiserende læger, fagprofessionelle fra sundhedsvæsenet, landbruget, Fødevarestyrelsen og -ikke mindst -involvering af ledere samt relevante organisationer og ministerier Background: Antimicrobial resistance is a serious threat to present and future patients. Despite several interventions, the increase in multidrug-resistant microorganisms is a global challenge in public health. Aim: This study describes and analyzesthe viewpoint of infection control specialists (physicians and infection control nurses) regarding the threat of antimicrobial resistance. It was also evaluated whether specialists perceive a need to improve the match between individual specialist and decision makers. Methods: Qualitative content theory was used to analyze empirical data based upon semi-structured interviews with infection control specialists. Management, inter-and cross-sector cooperation, and quality improvement and evaluationformed the theoretical framework for this thesis. Results: Interviewees reported thatDenmark’s efforts to prevent the spread of infection and the development of new resistant micro-organisms have been insufficient. The interviewees viewed current national and international guidelines as sufficient but the interviewees expressed that there is in adequate compliance withvarious elements of the infection control program, including vocational training, guidelines, information and education, monitoring, and a national antibiotic strategy. However, there is a need for more focus and emphasis on implementation and information to all involved personnel. Conclusion: Antimicrobial resistance requires greaterinter-and cross-sector cooperationin Denmark, regarding the overuse of antibiotics. This effort will require the participation of general practitioners, healthcare professionals, veterinarian specialists, as well as the involvement of leaders and relevant organizations and ministries ISBN 978-91-86739-91-1

DAMVAD har på opdrag af EK-U gennemført en undersøgelse om mobilitet inden for lovregulerede erhverv og velprofessioner i Norden. Blandt rapportens hovedkonklusioner er at systemet for lovregulering i Norden generelt er velfungerende, og endda bidrager til at fremme den internordiske mobilitet på arbejdsmarkedet. Men der identificeres også en række områder, hvor det nordiske samarbejde kan styrkes. Undersøgelsen retter i alt 9 anbefalinger mod et fremadrettet nordisk samarbejde for at fremme mobilitet på de nordiske arbejdsmarkeder.

Denne artikel præsenterer pædagogisk takt som et overset og væsentligtbidrag til pædagogikken, og forsøger at beskrive dens rolle i pædagogiskpraksis. Dernæst forsøger artiklen den svære øvelse at sige nogetom hvordan denne takt kan udvikles. Dette gøres gennem en kobling tilHannah Arendts ideer om dømmekraft og eksemplaritet. Pædagogisk takthenviser til en særlig evne til at identificere og handle i forhold til pædagogiskesituationer. Til udvikling af denne evne kræves altså dømmekraftog eksemplaritet. Disse to begreber stiller ideen om pædagogisk takt imodsætning til de herskende ideer om evidens og ’hvad der virker’, hvorpædagogikken forstås ud fra et primært samfundsvidenskabeligt perspektiv.Med begrebet om pædagogisk takt går bevægelsen snarere mod ethumanistisk perspektiv på pædagogikken som en egen disciplin, hvor svarpå, hvad der virker, må gives i relation den konkrete kontekst og gennemtolkning og handling på samme. Artiklen tager udgangspunkt i en rækkeeksempler på pædagogisk takt for dermed at tilbyde en forståelse af dømmekraftenog det eksemplariskes betydning for pædagogisk handling.

This Master thesis contains a risk assessment regarding the possibility for humans to be bitten by dogs in Denmark. As a part of this risk assessment the thesis contains an analysis of the effect of the introduction of legal bans of specific breeds in Denmark. Furthermore, the thesis contains an analysis of the societal context for the Danish legislation. This is done with back ground in models of risk management developed by James Reason and William Haddon Jr. The conclusion is that the Danish society continuously is vulnerable regarding the risk of humans being bitten by dogs – and that the ban of certain breeds have been without effect on the number of persons seeking hospital care for dog bites. The thesis demonstrates that the risk of human dog bites is highest in the private sphere and in the local area. The thesis reveal that the Danish state has failed to target the principal factors: context, situation and relation between man and dog in connection to situations where dog bites occur.
