  • Glyphosate: Unsafe on Any Plate
    GLYPHOSATE: UNSAFE ON ANY PLATE ALARMING LEVELS OF MONSANTO’S GLYPHOSATE FOUND IN POPULAR AMERICAN FOODS “For the first time in the history of the world, every human being is now subjected to contact with dangerous chemicals from the moment of conception until death…These chemicals are now stored in the bodies of the vast majority of human beings, regardless of age. They occur in the mother’s milk, and probably in the tissues of the unborn child.”1 —RACHEL CARSON, SILENT SPRING “Glyphosate was significantly higher in humans [fed] conventional [food] compared with predominantly organic [fed] humans. Also the glyphosate residues in urine were grouped according to the human health status. Chronically ill humans had significantly higher glyphosate residues in urine than healthy humans”2 —MONIKA KRUGER, ENVIRONMENTAL & ANALYTICAL TOXICOLOGY “Analysis of individual tissues demonstrated that bone contained the highest concentration of [14C] glyphosate equivalents (0.3–31ppm). The remaining tissues contained glyphosate equivalents at a concentration of between 0.0003 and 11 ppm. In the bone and some highly perfused tissues, levels were statistically higher in males than in females.”3 —PESTICIDE RESIDUES IN FOOD, JOINT FAO/WHO MEETING 2004 1 Rachel Carson, Silent Spring, (Houghton Mifflin, 1961), Elixirs of Death, 15-16. 2 Krüger M, Schledorn P, Schrödl W, Hoppe HW, Lutz W, et al.

  • University of Aarhus – the Stepping Stones
    1 University of Aarhus – the Stepping Stones Abstract The University of Aarhus has more than 20,000 students, making it the second largest university in Denmark. It is also the second-oldest multi-faculty university in the country, and is celebrating its 75th anniversary in 2003. Like the other Danish universities, the University of Aarhus is currently facing major challenges. Changes in the Danish University Act and a strong political wish for closer partnerships between the private business community, the public sector and the country’s universities have gradually altered the role of the universities in Denmark today. This paper looks more closely at the history of the University of Aarhus, the importance of the University for the Aarhus region, and the opportunities and barriers facing an “old” comprehensive University in its attempts to adapt to the new role of universities in the knowledge society. Introduction1 The University of Aarhus can celebrate its 75th anniversary in 2003, making it the second oldest multi-faculty university in Denmark2. The University was founded on 11 September 1928. The foundation of the University had been preceded by 10 years of disputes about the location of the second university of Denmark. The disputes involved the other cities – Viborg, Sønderborg and Kolding – that were candidates for the location of the Jutland university, opposition from the University of Copenhagen and arguments with the Danish Government, which did have a positive attitude to the creation of a new university, but was unwilling to contribute to the running of the university. The battle for the establishment of the University started in 1919, when a committee was set up under the Ministry of Education for the purpose of evaluating whether there was an actual need for another Danish university.
