Introduction The 16th Meeting of the Advisory Committee recommended that a review of trend analyses of stranding and other data on small cetaceans in the ASCOBANS area be carried out. The ultimate aim is to provide on an annual basis AC members with an accessible, readable and succinct overview of trends in status, distribution and impacts of small cetaceans within the ASCOBANS Agreement Area. This should combine data sets of different stakeholders and countries. 2. Terms of Reference To achieve the above aim of the project, a three-staged process was proposed: Step 1: Identify where data of interest (e.g. stranding data, but also data on

  • Collected Information for Teachers
    Authors: Matthias Maluck, Luise Zander Collected Information for teachers Topic: History The border landscape of Hedeby and the Danevirke was at the centre of political and military struggles for dominance over Jutland between Danish, Carolingian and, later, German sovereigns. The border marked the end of the Carolingian expansion to the north, after the Frisians and Saxons had been subdued and incorporated into their realm in the course of the eighth century. Hedeby and the Danevirke represent a significant cultural, political and economic phase in the history of Northern Europe, reflecting the specific nature and the development of borders in connection with the formation of states in Viking-Age. This landscape is a unique case study for the development over centuries of the architecture of fortified boundaries in conjunction with trading centres which are strategically integrated into their natural environment. The history of the Danevirke's construction spans more than 500 years, from protohistoric times to the Viking Age and the High Middle Ages. The linear defences of the Danevirke dominated the Schleswig Isthmus before the eighth century. Depending on strategic requirements in the border area between the Danes, Saxon tribes and the Frankish and German Empires, they were extended and reinforced through repeated building activity and the addition of stretches of ramparts. As a consequence, in the course of half a millennium the largest archaeological monument in Northern Europe came into being. The most striking stages of construction include the fieldstone wall in the Main Wall from around 740, the Connection Wall with Hedeby's link to the Main Wall in about 970, the Kovirke shortening the line of the ramparts in the late tenth century, and the great brick wall in around 1170.

  • Innovative Feudalism. the Development of Dairy Farming and Koppelwirtschaft on Manors in Schleswig-Holstein in the Seventeenth and Eighteenth Centuries
    Innovative Feudalism. The development of dairy farming and Koppelwirtschaft on manors in Schleswig-Holstein in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries by Carsten Porskrog Rasmussen Abstract Early modern Schleswig-Holstein saw the development of manorialism of the type, widespread in East-Elbian Germany and further east, of large demesnes farmed primarily with the labour services of dependant peasant farms and cottages. In traditional understanding, such manors are associated with a ‘simple’ production of grain, but in Schleswig-Holstein they developed a highly-regarded form of dairy farming and a new layout and usage of fields, the Koppelwirtschaft. The paper discusses the relation between these developments and the ‘feudal’ work organization of these manors and demonstrates that feudal demesne lordship could be combined with technical modernization. It also appears that the distinction between unfree labour service and paid work is not always a simple one to make. Traditional accounts of early modern East-Central Europe emphasize the rise of Gutsherrschaft (‘demesne lordship’) and the so-called ‘second serfdom’.1 The region has been seen as consisting of estates with large demesnes producing grain for western European markets, 1 The terms Grundherrschaft and Gutsherrschaft have played an important role in the German literature on early modern agrarian history for more than a hundred years, but the exact meaning and usage of the terms varies a great deal. A good survey of the literature on Gutsherrschaft, including theoretical positions relating to or definitions contrasting it to the term Grundherrschaft can be found in H. Kaak, Die Gutsherrschaft (1991). K. Schreiner, ‘Grundherrschaft, Entstehung und Bedeutungswandel eines geschichtswissenschaftlicen Ordnungs und Erklärungsbegriffs’, in H.

The objective of the project is to remove nutrients from the Baltic Sea by farming and harvesting blue mussels. The farmed mussels will be used for the production of mussel meal, to be used in the feed industry. 18 partners from 7 countries are participating, with representatives from regional and national authorities, research institutions and private companies. The project is coordinated by Region Östergötland (Sweden) and has a total budget of 4,7 M€.

  • A History of the V-5
    L. The Scandinavian Community, t: Diversity and Unity (1 )o ,^o r* ouR AccouNT oF THE scANDTNAVTAN pEopLEs we have assumed that despite a threefold division inro Danes, Swedes, and Norwegians, and the internal division ofeach ofthese into tribes and regions, with a more or less constant pattern of neighbourly aggression, dynastic struggle, extra-territbrial con- quest, and folk migration--despite these things we have assumed that Scandinavia is an entity and have talked ofit as such. Before proceeding with the political history of the peoples we had better ask ourselves why. First there is the geographical position ofthe three countries in the north ofEurope. They are grouped together, it is true; but the grouping is less neighbourly than that of the countries of the British Isles, or the city states of Italy. The old Cimbric peninsula, modern Jutland, is an extension of the north German pliin, and a long run of wars from the beginning of the ninth ceniury to the middle of the twentieth has failed to draw what nature left undrawn, a definitive frontier. The flat and Grtile countryside of the Danish isles from Fyn to Z,ealand, of Bornholm, and Skine in Sweden, has more in common with lands south of the Fehmarn Belt and the Baltic than with Norway and Swedish Norrland. On the peninsula itse[ the upturned keel of mountains running south from Finn- mark almost to Stavanger and Vdrmland made vast areas ofeastern and western Scandinavia almost inaccessible to each other through- out the Middle Ages.l Eastwards there is no natural division r The two best lines of land communication between Norway and Sweden vere the Trondheim qap and the area south of Lake Miosa.

  • Title: German and English : the Two Sisters Who Each Went Her Own Way
    Title: German and English : the two sisters who each went her own way Author: Rafał Molencki Molencki Rafał. (2014). German and English : the two sisters Citation style: who each went her own way. W: A. Łyp-Bielecka (red.), "Mehr als Worte : sprachwissenschaftliche Studien" (S. 235-244). Katowice : Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Śląskiego Rafał Molencki Sosnowiec German and English: The two sisters who each went her own way Students of linguistics are often surprised to find out that the origins of the English language are to be traced in Germany. However, since the days of Venerable Bede (8th-century monk and scholar from Jarrow, Northumberland) the tradi- tional view has been that Germanic peoples were settling in Celtic Britain between the mid-5th and late 6th century though more recent archaeological evidence points to the presence of some Germanic people in south Britain from as early as the turn of the 5th century. In his Historia ecclesiastica gentis Anglorum Bede himself writes that the company led by two Saxon leaders (brothers Hengest and Horsa) came to the Isle of Thanet in Kent in AD 449 at the invitation of the Celtic King Vortigern, who had asked (and paid) them to deal with the problem of attacks by savage tribes from northern Britain. Being experienced warriors, the Saxons did their job very quickly, but they also shared the knowledge about the abundant and unprotected island of Britain with their Germanic cousins from the continent, for whom Britain became the land of opportunity. Soon they started coming in their thousands, meeting relatively little resistance on the part of native Celts, pushed to the mountainous regions of modern Scotland, Wales and Cornwall.
