From the mid-1960s to the mid 1970s, three new universities were established in Denmark: Odense (1966), Roskilde (1972) and Aalborg (1974). Until then only two universities existed in Denmark: Copenhagen (1479) and Aarhus (1928). Located on the outskirts of the major cities, the new institutions played an important part in reforming and transforming higher education in Denmark. The youngest univer

Research Summary: This study explores how traditional craft produces novelty, which appears to be at odds with its emphasis on continuation. While prior research has explored how tradition is rediscovered and revived from the past, traditional craft can produce intrinsic novelty potentially through its own repetitive acts. This study examines a Japanese cuisine Kaiseki, which is traditional but si

In this paper, we propose a theoretical and conceptual framework for articulating and studying changes in the global economic landscape and illustrate this framework in the current context. The framework pivots around the notion of rescaling, which is interpreted from a human agency perspective. We disentangle three theoretically distinct dimensions of rescaling and show how they play together usi

I perform a narrow and wide replication of the labor force participation analyses in Bertand,Pan, and Kamenica (2015), which finds a negative relationship between realized and predicted female breadwinning and wives’ labor force participation. Their results replicate in a narrow sense, even when samples from the same data sources cannot be perfectly reproduced. In the broader replication, I test w

Our book has taken a distinctive, policy-oriented approach to IGR in analysing both specific crisis-driven problems and new, longer-term, and emerging policy issues confronting European governments. We have explored the shifting balances of power within IGR systems focused on the challenges of vertical and horizontal coordination within cross-country, comparative perspectives. In order to position

This chapter aims to examine the impact of the international anticorruption agenda on the business and investment climate and legal culture in Uzbekistan. In undertaking this task, I specifically emphasise the daily life of anticorruption laws, policies, and agencies in Uzbekistan in order to understand how domestic institutions and actors perceive, interpret, negotiate, and challenge global antic

The goal of the TEDDY (The Environmental Determinants of Diabetes in the Young) study is to elucidate factors leading to the initiation of islet autoimmunity (first primary outcome) and those related to progression to type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM; second primary outcome). This Review outlines the key findings so far, particularly related to the first primary outcome. The background, history and

Relationer med nära vuxna är viktiga för barns utveckling. Forskning om känslomässig trygghet, så kallad ”anknytning”, mellan barn och förälder har visat att hur föräldrar bemöter barnets behov av tröst och närhet inverkar på barnets sätt att hantera känslomässig stress och navigera sociala relationer. Även andra omsorgspersoner i ett barns vardagsliv kan bli anknytningsfigurer för barnet, såsom pCurrent child developmental research encourages a more systemic understanding of attachment-related relationship-building. As many young children spend a substantial part of their daily life in professional childcare, e.g., “preschool”, interactions with teachers at preschool are of particular interest in this respect. In bridging the developmentally important contexts of home and preschool for th

Polymer gears are becoming more and more interesting parts of various machines; they are used in ever-more-demanding operating conditions. Due to their good mechanical properties, lightweight, and low noise during operation, they tend to substitute metallic gears in some traditional applications, and they also enter new applications such as e-bikes. A reliable design of polymer gears remains, to d

Tropical oceans are the main global water vapor and latent heat sources, but their responses to radiative forcing remain unclear. Here, we investigate oceanic moisture dynamics of the western tropical Pacific (WTP) over the past 210,000 years through an approach of planktonic foraminiferal triple oxygen isotope (Δ′17O). The Δ′17O record is dominated by the precession cycles (~23,000 years), with l

Superconductivity and cryogenics were recognized as necessary to the European Spallation Source (ESS) project from its earliest days. This chapter provides a highlevel overview of the ESS cryogenics system and describes the reasoning behind early conceptual design choices. Some requirements for the cryogenic system did change over time and that evolution is discussed. In addition, the recruitment

Understanding stellar evolution and its effect on planetary systems is crucial for correctly interpreting the chemical constraints of exo-planetary material that can be given to us by white dwarfs. This article will describe how asteroids, moons, and comets, as well as boulders, pebbles and dust, evolve into eventual targets for chemical spectroscopy, and how planets and companion stars play a vit

On December 9, 2016, South Korea's National Assembly voted to impeach the country's president, Park Geun-hye, over abuse of power among other charges. Three months later, the Constitutional Court upheld the impeachment and she was dismissed from office-the first South Korean president to be removed this way. New elections were called. Park was then made the subject of a criminal investigation and

Context. The nuclear stellar disc (NSD) is a flat and dense stellar structure at the centre of the Milky Way. Previous work has identified the presence of metal-rich and metal-poor stars in the NSD, suggesting that they have different origins. The recent publication of photometric, metallicity, proper motion, and orbital catalogues allows the NSD stellar population to be characterised with unprece

This article compares the policy and collective bargaining responses in the three Scandinavian countries to the cost-of-living crisis that began in 2021. The countries are known for their coordinated and consensual response to exogenous shocks. However, Scandinavian variants of neoliberal reforms, the 2009 Financial Crisis and, more recently, the COVID-19 pandemic have challenged the model. The co

Lake level, area and volume are sensitive indicators of climate change. At present, many studies have focused on the interannual water balance of lakes, but lake level and area can change remarkably with seasons, especially for lakes with seasonal ice cover. Zhari Namco, a seasonal frozen lake, was selected as an example to investigate its seasonal water balance. Multi-source altimetry and Landsat
