The Social and Health College in North Jutland 2 3 The social and health college in North Jutland 2 3 SOSU Nord SOSU Nord 2 3 SOSU Nord ”SOSU Nord” is one of the largest social and health colleges in Denmark. Situated in an area known for the beauty of its countryside, the college’s primary activity is to train staff for the social and health sector. “SOSU Nord” was established by the County of North Jutland in 1991 to concentrate the former training programmes (nursing aide, occupational therapist aide, psychiatric nursing aide and nursing home assistant) to a more uniform system. The college quickly became a success and as early as in 1995 the facilities were no longer adequate. The County therefore established a new department in Svenstrup, situated south of Aalborg. The same year the college also expanded with a Department for Continuing Education and Training, responsible for upgrading qualifications, retrai- ning and in-service training. In 1997 the Educator assistant training was established. This programme trains pupils to work in the social and educational sector. Another department was established in 2002. This department is situated in Hjørring. On January 1st. 2007, due to structural changes in Danish local government, the college, ”Skolen i Hammer Bakker”, changed ownership becoming a selvgoverning institution under the auspices of the Danish state. To mark the occasion and to signify the beginning af a new epoch, the name of the col- lege was changed to ”SOSU Nord”, this being an acronym for the Danish phrase social (social) and health (sundhed) and north (nord), exemplifying both the college’s purpose and geographical location. Values and aims We aspire to create an open and creative environment, characterized by cooperation and flexibility. We also aspire to promote values such as respect, reliability, trust, open- ness, participation, responsibility, tolerance, regard for differences, individuality and a high level of information and communication. Our aim is to ensure that people are trained to work in and develop the social and health sector and the educator sector. We want to create a highly qualitative training environment, where the students can acquire a highly vocational level of competences, matching the different training programmes. We also want to be a dynamic and enterprising workplace, closely interacting with our surroundings. Beyond that, we aspire to be an inspiring, attractive and health-consci- ous place of work, focusing on development of both pupils and staff. SOSU Nord SOSU Nord 4 5 Teaching The basic teaching is based on problem- based learning (PBL). In this way the theoretical content of the training is acquired by working with interdisciplinary ways of presenting a problem, which is closely con- nected with practice. The pupils’ own questions and problems form the basis of learning. Learning be- comes an active and responsible process where former knowledge and experience are in focus. Pupils develop both personal and professional competences. The training is widely based on group work combined with class teaching. The teacher becomes an initiator and this means giving theoretical introductions and presenting pro- blem-oriented themes. The teacher also has to guide, motivate and support groups as well as individuals in the learning process.

  • The Divine Destiny of America
    2 THE DIVINE DESTINY OF AMERICA By James Summerville “The United States bestrides the globe like a colossus. It dominates business, commerce and communications; its economy is the world’s most successful, its military might second to none.”1 “Joseph is a fruitful bough, a fruitful bough by a well; his branches run over the wall. The archers have bitterly grieved him, shot at him and hated him. But his bow remained in strength, and the arms of his hands were made strong by the hands of the Mighty God of Jacob (from there is the Shepherd, the Stone of Israel). By the God of your father who will help you, and by the Almighty who will bless you with blessings of heaven above, blessings of the deep that lies beneath, blessings of the breasts and of the womb. The blessings of your father have excelled the blessings of my ancestors, up to the utmost bound of the everlasting hills. They shall be on the head of Joseph and on the crown of the head of him who was separate from his brothers” (Genesis 49:22-26). Most people don’t realize the connection between the above quotes. The first quote states the obvious: The United States is extremely powerful. “Like Britain in the nineteenth century, the United States in the twenty-first century has power to spare. In fact the U.S. has more power than Britain did at the height of its empire, more power than any other state in modern times. It deploys the world’s only blue-water navy of any significance and the world’s most powerful air force; its armed forces have expeditionary capability undreamed of by any other power; its economy, powered by unceasing technological innovation, is the biggest and most dynamic on earth; its language has achieved a ubiquity unrivaled by any tongue since Latin; its culture permeates distant lands; and its political ideals remain a beacon of hope for all those ‘yearning to be free.’” 2 The second quote is a divinely-inspired prophecy from the elderly biblical patriarch Jacob (or Israel, his other name).

  • The Cimbri of Denmark, the Norse and Danish Vikings, and Y-DNA Haplogroup R-S28/U152 - (Hypothesis A)
    The Cimbri of Denmark, the Norse and Danish Vikings, and Y-DNA Haplogroup R-S28/U152 - (Hypothesis A) David K. Faux The goal of the present work is to assemble widely scattered facts to accurately record the story of one of Europe’s most enigmatic people of the early historic era – the Cimbri. To meet this goal, the present study will trace the antecedents and descendants of the Cimbri, who reside or resided in the northern part of the Jutland Peninsula, in what is today known as the County of Himmerland, Denmark. It is likely that the name Cimbri came to represent the peoples of the Cimbric Peninsula and nearby islands, now called Jutland, Fyn and so on. Very early (3rd Century BC) Greek sources also make note of the Teutones, a tribe closely associated with the Cimbri, however their specific place of residence is not precisely located. It is not until the 1st Century AD that Roman commentators describe other tribes residing within this geographical area. At some point before 500 AD, there is no further mention of the Cimbri or Teutones in any source, and the Cimbric Cheronese (Peninsula) is then called Jutland. As we shall see, problems in accomplishing this task are somewhat daunting. For example, there are inconsistencies in datasources, and highly conflicting viewpoints expressed by those interpreting the data. These difficulties can be addressed by a careful sifting of diverse material that has come to light largely due to the storehouse of primary source information accessed by the power of the Internet. Historical, archaeological and genetic data will be integrated to lift the veil that has to date obscured the story of the Cimbri, or Cimbrian, peoples.

Compared with many other ancient structures, considerable experience is required to identify and interpret traces of roads in the form of abandoned tracks. As a consequence, their recording and preservation present many challenges. Nonetheless, in the mid-1990s, under the leadership of Kristian Kristiansen, the former Division of Cultural History of the National Forest and Nature Agency, under the Danish Ministry of Environment, took on the task of creating a national database of remains of prehistoric and historic tracks and roads.

  • A Brief History of Medieval Monasticism in Denmark (With Schleswig, Rügen and Estonia)
    religions Article A Brief History of Medieval Monasticism in Denmark (with Schleswig, Rügen and Estonia) Johnny Grandjean Gøgsig Jakobsen Department of Nordic Studies and Linguistics, University of Copenhagen, 2300 Copenhagen, Denmark; [email protected] Abstract: Monasticism was introduced to Denmark in the 11th century. Throughout the following five centuries, around 140 monastic houses (depending on how to count them) were established within the Kingdom of Denmark, the Duchy of Schleswig, the Principality of Rügen and the Duchy of Estonia. These houses represented twelve different monastic orders. While some houses were only short lived and others abandoned more or less voluntarily after some generations, the bulk of monastic institutions within Denmark and its related provinces was dissolved as part of the Lutheran Reformation from 1525 to 1537. This chapter provides an introduction to medieval monasticism in Denmark, Schleswig, Rügen and Estonia through presentations of each of the involved orders and their history within the Danish realm. In addition, two subchapters focus on the early introduction of monasticism to the region as well as on the dissolution at the time of the Reformation. Along with the historical presentations themselves, the main and most recent scholarly works on the individual orders and matters are listed. Keywords: monasticism; middle ages; Denmark Citation: Jakobsen, Johnny Grandjean Gøgsig. 2021. A Brief For half a millennium, monasticism was a very important feature in Denmark. From History of Medieval Monasticism in around the middle of the 11th century, when the first monastic-like institutions were Denmark (with Schleswig, Rügen and introduced, to the middle of the 16th century, when the last monasteries were dissolved Estonia).

  • Hvad Med Kulturarven? - Et Hus I Hadsund
    Hvad med kulturarven? - et hus i Hadsund Af Lise Andersen I forbindelse med den fysiske planlægning har Staten gennem de Hadsund set fra syd i 1878. seneste år stillet krav til kommunerne om i større omfang at tage Lige over den græssende hensyn til kulturarven. Kommuneplanerne skal indeholde retnings- hest i forgrunden ses Hotel linjer for sikring af de kulturhistoriske bevaringsværdier, herunder de Hadsund. Bag hotellet skimtes den meget lange værdifulde kulturmiljøer. I forlængelse heraf blev der ved den sidste kostald. revision af museumsloven i 2006 lagt op til et større samarbejde mel- lem kommunernes tekniske forvaltninger og de statsanerkendte mu- seer i behandlingen af byggesager, herunder også nedrivningssager. Med hensyn til de arkæologiske interesser er loven præcis i sine formuleringer, så selv om ikke alle lodsejere og bygherrer er lige for- stående overfor nødvendigheden af at sikre forhistoriske levn, så er der ingen tvivl om, hvordan man som hhv. lodsejer og museum skal forholde sig. Anderledes er det imidlertid med kulturarven fra ny- ere og nyeste tid – hvilket i museal sammenhæng vil sige tiden ef- ter reformationen i 1536. Her er lovgivningen noget mere elastisk. Generelt er kommunerne imidlertid meget bevidste om at inddrage museerne og gøre brug af deres ekspertise i arbejdet med byggesager, hvor kulturhistoriske værdier kan være på spil. I det følgende skal jeg forsøge at beskrive en sådan sag, som i sin substans er typisk, men som pga. lidt politisk tumult nok blev genstand for større offentlig opmærksomhed end så mange tilsvarende sager. Da Teknisk Afdeling ved Mariagerfjord Kommune i april 2008 fik en ansøgning om nedrivningstilladelse til et gammelt byhus i Hadsund, var det oplagt at henvende sig til Hadsund Egns Museum.

  • The Case of Aalborg Airport in Northern Denmark
    FROM REGIONAL AIRPORT TO INTERNATIONAL FLIGHT DESTINATION: THE CASE OF AALBORG AIRPORT IN NORTHERN DENMARK Gunvor Riber Larsen1 Claus Lassen2 ABSTRACT This paper explores how Northern Denmark is becoming an international flight destination through the strategic route development in Aalborg Airport and the integrated collaboration with regional tourism actors. Aalborg Airport is primarily a regional airport serving primarily the people living in the northern part of Denmark, but in the past decade the airport has experienced growth in the number of international arrivals. This paper explores who these international travellers are and why they fly to Northern Denmark. Both Aalborg Airport and Northern Denmark in general has an interest in increasing the number of international arrivals, and in the effort to attract more visitors, a better understanding of this group of travellers is necessary. This paper explains that a significant number of the foreign arrivals come to Northern Denmark to visit friends and relatives, and that the geographical reach of the airport is larger than expected. This finding challenges the current approach to regional development associated with the airport and this paper suggests two new focus points for the further strategic route development in Aalborg Airport: awareness of the geographical reach of the airport and incorporation of the knowledge that the international travellers are arriving in order to visit friends and relatives or to do business. Keywords: Aeromobility, Tourism, Regional Airport, Airport Development. JEL Classification: R11, Z32, Z38 1. INTRODUCTION Over the past five to 10 years, Aalborg Airport in Northern Denmark has experienced an increased number of arrivals by international travellers who come to the region on either leisure or business travel.
