It provides a high-resolution archaeological and palaeoecological picture of the organisation of landscapes, settlements and households during the period 1500-700 BC. By combining the results of palaeoenvironmental research, extensive field surveys and excavations of archaeological sites with exceptional preservation, it links the histories of local farmsteads in Thy with wider developments and events in the Bronze Age of northwest Europe.

  • Diagnosis and Mortality of Emergency
    Søvsø et al. BMC Health Services Research (2018) 18:548 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12913-018-3361-x RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Diagnosis and mortality of emergency department patients in the North Denmark region Morten Breinholt Søvsø1* , Sabina Bay Hermansen1, Emil Færk1, Tim Alex Lindskou1, Marc Ludwig2, Jørn Munkhof Møller3, Jelena Jonciauskiene4 and Erika Frischknecht Christensen1,5 Abstract Background: Emergency departments handle a large proportion of acute patients. In 2007, it was recommended centralizing the Danish healthcare system and establishing emergency departments as the main common entrance for emergency patients. Since this reorganization, few studies describing the emergency patient population in this new setting have been carried out and none describing diagnoses and mortality. Hence, we aimed to investigate diagnoses and 1- and 30-day mortality of patients in the emergency departments in the North Denmark Region during 2014–2016. Methods: Population-based historic cohort study in the North Denmark Region (580,000 inhabitants) of patients with contact to emergency departments during 2014–2016. The study included patients who were referred by general practitioners (daytime and out-of-hours), by emergency medical services or who were self-referred. Primary diagnoses (ICD-10) were retrieved from the regional Patient Administrative System. For non-specific diagnoses (ICD-10 chapter ‘Symptoms and signs’ and ‘Other factors’), we searched the same hospital stay for a specific diagnosis and used this, if one was given. We performed descriptive analysis reporting distribution and frequency of diagnoses. Moreover, 1- and 30-day mortality rate estimates were performed using the Kaplan-Meier estimator. Results: We included 290,590 patient contacts corresponding to 166 ED visits per 1000 inhabitants per year.

  • Strategic Energy Planning in Denmark at Municipal And
    STRATEGIC ENERGY PLANNING IN DENMARK AT MUNICIPAL AND REGIONAL LEVEL STRATEGIC ENERGY PLANNING IN DENMARK AT MUNICIPAL AND REGIONAL LEVEL STRATEGIC ENERGY PLANNING IN DENMARK AT MUNICIPAL AND REGIONAL LEVEL STRATEGIC ENERGY PLANNING IN DENMARK AT MUNICIPAL AND REGIONAL LEVEL STRATEGIC ENERGY PLANNING IN DENMARK AT MUNICIPAL AND REGIONAL LEVEL The Danish government’s long-term vision is that Denmark becomes independent of fossil fuels. Municipalities have the local knowledge that can ensure political anchoring and commitment from citizens and local businesses to the green transition of the energy system and the economy. In their capacity as local planning and land-use authority, as owner of supply and transport companies, and as a major consumer, the municipalities are in a unique position to facilitate change. A program with 3.3 mill. EUR was launched in 2014 to support municipal strategic energy planning, providing a 50% grant for the projects. Strengthening partnerships: Cost-effective transition to green growth: • Vertically – state, region, municipality • Mapping energy efficiency and renewable energy resources • Horizontally – across municipalities • Analysing energy futures and strategic choices • Locally – businesses, supply companies, municipality • Setting targets and action plans • Internally – municipal administrations • Demonstrating green solutions • Democratically – citizens and interest organisations In total, 14 partnership projects for strategic energy planning were initiated with each their unique partnership structure and with each their individual energy perspective. The support program aimed at demonstrating different types of partnerships and tackle different aspects of a cost-effective transition to green growth. The 14 projects include 6 regional projects (in the five Danish regions) and 8 projects involving a smaller number of municipalities.

  • Borders in Globalization Country Report on Denmark-Germany
    1 2 _________________________________ Borers in oaiation Resear roet 2 Borders in Globalization enmar Germany artin Klatt sabelle alteru University of Borders in Globalization (BIG) DENMARK - GERMANY Isabelle Walther-Duc Martin Klatt A. Introduction Fig. 1: freight and persons crossing the Danish borders, 2006 and 2009/2011 The Danish-German border is short in comparison to other EU internal borders. Still it is relevant also as the border between the continent and Scandinavia, or the countries within the Nordic Council. The border’s history is conflict ridden. It was drawn in 1920, together with other new borders drawn in connection with the post WW-I order in Europe, reflecting (not only) the result of a plebiscite. The decades from 1920 to the 1950’s witnessed a bordering process with clear demarcation as well as the introduction of strict visa regimes and migration restriction, accompanied by the cut of economic flows and continued political challenges to the exact location of the border. Especially Denmark was interested in securing the border from possible German claims of revision. This changed only after Denmark joined the EC in 1973. Infrastructure investments as a freeway (opened fully in 1983) connecting the Jutland peninsula with the Hamburg metropolitan area and its seaport (2nd-3rd in Europe), the shorter “line as the birds fly” rail and road connection across Fehmarn-Lolland, disrupted by a 1 h ferry passage (1963), the introduction of frequent ferry services on the Rostock-Gedser route after German reunification (1990) and the planned fixed link under the Fehmarn Belt together with railway and road improvements on both shores (opening in the 2020’s) have made the region the major transport corridor between Europe and Scandinavia.

  • 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.

Collaboration has paved the road to success in North Denmark. Over the years, we have successfully moved the region in the right direction through a number of important parameters. Together, we have generated development and growth that benefit the whole of North Denmark, based on a common understanding of the region’s challenges and opportunities. We want to continue this targeted work in a new Strategy for Regional Development (RUS) for the 2020-2023 period. This strategy differs significantly from our previous Regional Strategy for Growth and Development (REVUS), as business development will no longer be one of the Regional Council’s focuses, in accordance with national policy. Instead, there are plenty of other areas and potential to address, such as education, developing the skills of the future workforce, the green transition, climate change adaptation, the environment and international collaboration. We are also working with public transport and infrastructure, as well as initiatives for North Denmark’s rural areas, nature and culture.
