Urban waterways crowded with smokestacks and under-used industrial warehouses represent relics of societies that once sacrificed quality of life for the thrill of productivity. Emerging industries in large cities sought waterside locations enthusiastically, taking advantage of water for transportation and waste removal. In many cases factories and ware- houses forced residential areas far from the valuable land along waterfronts and created visual and physi- cal barriers, while pollution further deteriorated any recreational value in the water (Stephens 3).

  • 2017 Annual Meeting in Sweden
    FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS: 2017 ANNUAL MEETING IN SWEDEN When is the meeting registration deadline? January 9, 2017 What is the easiest way to register and pay? Go to the tour operator’s secure website http://www.askmrnilsson.se/magnolia-society/ and pay with a VISA or MasterCard. With so many registration choices, how do I pick just one? It’s not as complicated as it seems. You only need to make 3 decisions. 1) Which locations do you want to visit? 2) Do you want the tour operator to book your travel or make your own transportation plans within the timeframe of the annual meeting? 3) Do you want to share a hotel room with someone or stay in a room by yourself? Which airport should I use? CPH, Copenhagen Airport in Denmark, is the main international airport serving southern Sweden. You should book round trip from your departure destination to/from CPH. If you participate in any of the itinerary locations beyond Malmo and have the tour operator book your travel, your registration fee will include travel back to Copenhagen.

There are multiple taxi and rental car services available at the airport, as well as bus and train options. What dates and times should I select for my round trip into CPH?

Email g [email protected] Abstract In recent times, there has been a growing trend by airports and airlines to use aviation biofuel as an environment sustainability measure. Using an instrumental qualitative case study research design, this paper examines the evolution of sustainable aviation fuels at Oslo Airport Gardermoen. Oslo Airport Gardermoen was the first airport in the world to offer the first airport in the world to offer aviation biofuels to all airlines in 2016. The qualitative data were examined by document analysis. The study found that the use of sustainable aviation biofuels has delivered tangible environmental benefits to Oslo Gardermoen Airport. The usage of aviation biofuels has enabled the airport, and the airlines using sustainable aviation biofuels, to reduce their greenhouse gases by 10-15%. Also, as part of Norway’s efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, the Norwegian Government have mandated that the aviation fuel industry must mix 0.5% advanced biofuel into jet fuel from 2020 onwards.

The Legacy of the Danish Resistance in World War II by Joy Ibsen Introduction When I first heard about this conference, I immediately thought of this topic, because I believe the Danish Resistance in World War II provides a legacy of critical importance. It is one which can be of help in guiding our way through today's murky social and political problems as we grapple with terrorist threats and moral issues confronting us in this new millennium. It is a story of special significance to all Danes and Danish-Americans. I have relied on several sources in developing this paper, and am especially indebted to an unpublished paper and interview with Immanuel Rodholm, my mother's cousin, who was born in Danevang, Texas, and who moved to Denmark as a young boy. Immanuel, or lb as he is called, has enjoyed a distinguished career.

  • The Little Mermaid Icon and Disneyfication
    The Little Mermaid Icon and Disneyfication Finn Hauberg Mortensen University of Copenhagen s AN ICON IN MASS cui.TURE, thc Little Meniiaid has become the official image of Denmark in general., and of its capital, At Copenhagen, in particular. Its icoiiicity is intimately tied to two sources: Edvard Eriksen's famous bronze statue erected on the Copen- hagen waterfront in 191? and Hans Christian Andersen's fairytale from i8í7. The complexity of Andersen's fairytale, however, which lends the symbolic value to Eriksen's statue, has been largely ignored because the statue has taken on a lite of its own. Historically, it belongs to the final phase of Danish classical sculpture., but it has also become the raw material of modernistic artistic expressions. In fact over the last fort^' years, the statue has moved toward two distinct representations: the completed statue by Eriksen viewed and re\ered by die millions of tourists who visit and photograph it and the ongoing fragmented and unfinished work, which has derived from the destruction of the former. This latter ''work of art" in turn points to the modernit)' of which it and Denmark has become part. The fragmentation started in içfti, when the statue had its hair painted red and was dressed up in a bra and panties. Two years later she was painted red again. In 1964, these prankish attacks were followed by an act of willful artistic vandalism when an unknown assailant sawed the head off the body. Later, Jörgen Nash, a situationist visual artist and author, claimed responsibility for removing the head and for making a deliberate assault on die Danish national symbol.

  • The Danish Design Industry Annual Mapping 2005
    The Danish Design Industry Annual Mapping 2005 Copenhagen Business School May 2005 Please refer to this report as: ʺA Mapping of the Danish Design Industryʺ published by IMAGINE.. Creative Industries Research at Copenhagen Business School. CBS, May 2005 A Mapping of the Danish Design Industry Copenhagen Business School · May 2005 Preface The present report is part of a series of mappings of Danish creative industries. It has been conducted by staff of the international research network, the Danish Research Unit for Industrial Dynamics, (www.druid.dk), as part of the activities of IMAGINE.. Creative Industries Research at the Copenhagen Business School (www.cbs.dk/imagine). In order to assess the future potential as well as problems of the industries, a series of workshops was held in November 2004 with key representatives from the creative industries covered. We wish to thank all those who gave generously of their time when preparing this report. Special thanks go to Nicolai Sebastian Richter‐Friis, Architect, Lundgaard & Tranberg; Lise Vejse Klint, Chairman of the Board, Danish Designers; Steinar Amland, Director, Danish Designers; Jan Chul Hansen, Designer, Samsøe & Samsøe; and Tom Rossau, Director and Designer, Ichinen. Numerous issues were discussed including, among others, market opportunities, new technologies, and significant current barriers to growth. Special emphasis was placed on identifying bottlenecks related to finance and capital markets, education and skill endowments, labour market dynamics, organizational arrangements and inter‐firm interactions. The first version of the report was drafted by Tina Brandt Husman and Mark Lorenzen, the Danish Research Unit for Industrial Dynamics (DRUID) and Department of Industrial Economics and Strategy, Copenhagen Business School, during the autumn of 2004 and finalized for publication by Julie Vig Albertsen, who has done sterling work as project leader for the entire mapping project.
