Transdisciplinary Journal of Cultural Participation, vol. 1, no. 1, 2014. ISSN 2246-3755 Introduction In the fall of 2013, a group of homeless people occupied a central site in the Danish town of Aarhus. Having chosen a site just next to Godsbanen (“the old freight train station”), which opened in March 2012 as a new main center for cultural production in Aarhus, the occupation made quite a stir among local politicians, local media, and citizens. Furthermore, as an alderman from the town council turned in the occupants to the police, this triggered a wide-reaching public debate on topics from homelessness to the cultural policy of Aarhus. Over the period from December to 2013 to March 2014, which we will be focusing on in this article, the case of the homeless metamorphosed further, as the above-mentioned alderman altered his conviction, new groups joined the group of homeless, and new action was taken by the city’s body of public administration.

  • Telemedicin Hospitalsenheden Vest
    Press release 14 June 2013 Columna Citizen is part of large Danish telemedicine trial Large Danish telemedicine trial is examining the quality of standard blood pressure checks carried out at patients' GP clinics compared to telemedicine blood pressure checks carried out by patients in their own homes. More than 1 million Danes are estimated to have high blood pressure. This group is increasingly made up of elderly citizens who can find it inconvenient and difficult to physically meet up at their GPs for a check- up. It is a paradox that there are not enough check-ups and treatment for high blood pressure because many complications resulting from high blood pressure can be avoided through simple treatment. Increase quality of life by staying at home Region Hospital Holstebro and Holstebro Municipality are carrying out a large telemedicine trial. The study of citizens with high blood pressure in the age group 55-64 years aims to determine if their treatment based on blood pressure measurements carried out using telemedicine equipment is a better way of controlling their illness and delivering a higher quality of life in comparison to citizens whose treatment is based on readings carried out during a check-up at their local GPs. "All of the participants in the trial will be seen and treated by their GP as normal," explains researcher and doctor Nikolai Hofmann-Petersen from the Medical Research Department at Region Hospital Holstebro. "We are dividing the participants into two groups. One group will measure blood pressure at home using the telemedicine equipment and send the results electronically to their GP.

The red ochre makes the water turbid in streams and brooks. It covers the bed and coats the plants. Ochre pollution is more than just red ochre, though. It starts with acidic water and invisible, toxic iron that washes out into the watercourses. Neither fish nor macroinvertebra- tes can live in such water. If we are to ensure good-quality watercourses in Denmark it is not sufficient just to treat our waste- water.
