In the edited collection Athletics in the Nordic Countries, scholars from Denmark, Finland, Norway, and Sweden explore historical developments and current phenomena in the sport of athletics (track and field). The chapters provide insight into sport officials, events, and athletes from the Nordic countries that have shaped the international athletics scene. The authors identify the leading role of sport leaders from Scandinavia in the foundation years and highlight how athletics’ events held in the region were milestones in the transformation of the sport. Athletics’ international governing body World Athletics was founded in Sweden in 1912 as the International Amateur Athletic Federation. Seventy years later, Finland hosted the first World Athletics Championships in Helsinki in 1983. In between those turning points, Nordic officials and athletes promoted significant changes in athletics, and their innovative approaches continue to shape the development of the sport until today.
Available online: https://pub.norden.org/nord2023-044/ Abstract [en] The Nordic countries want the Nordic Region to be the most sustainable and integrated region in the world by 2030. A natural part of this ambitious vision is an integrated Nordic labour market for companies and citizens. The Nordic Tax Treaty and its administration play a crucial role in this respect. However, the COVID-19 pandemic showed that there are obvious challenges with the application of the Nordic Tax Treaty as well as other bilateral agreements and national legislation. During the pandemic, employees working across a Nordic border risked incurring tax problems if they followed the recommendations to work from home...
Available online: http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:norden:org:diva-6014 Anvendelsen af digitale læringsmetoder på de højere uddannelsesinstitutioner er øget væsentligt i de seneste årtier og er blevet både intensiveret og mere relevant under COVID-19-pandemien. Institutionerne griber det dog forskelligt an. I rapporten kortlægges de nordiske landes strategier for digital læring samt de nordiske uddannelsesinstitutioners erfaringer og forventninger. Desuden gennemgås en række pædagogiske metoder og erfaringer, og der bliver set på uddannelsespolitiske perspektiver og udfordringer. Gennem rapporten trækkes gode eksempler frem. Rapporten viser, at der i Norden er iværksat mange forskellige tiltag i forhold til at anvende digital læring, at der er en række fordele for både samfund og institutioner ved at benytte digital læring, og at behovet fortsat er stigende. Institutionerne efterspørger også derfor mere videndeling på området.
In ́De sekte ́ krijgt Ravn een schijnbaar alledaagse zaak toegewezen: hij wordt ingehuurd door de rijke directeur Ferdinand Mesmer om diens vermiste zoon Jakob te vinden, die 10 jaar geleden de sekte "Gods Uitverkorenen" stichtte. Een sekte die nu door verschillende schandalen wordt geteisterd. Het wordt echter al snel duidelijk dat er veel meer op het spel staat. Ravn lokaliseert Jakob en zijn laatste discipelen op een afgelegen landgoed. Een plek die dichter bij de hel ligt dan het paradijs dat Jakob aan zijn congregatie had beloofd. Ravns onderzoek leidt hem tot diep achter de muren van de sekte. Langzaam komt er een zowel verschrikkelijk als gekmakend geheim aan het licht in het gedeel...
'A labour of undiluted love and enthusiasm' Daily Telegraph As Daniel Hardcastle careers towards thirty, he looks back on what has really made him happy in life: the friends, the romances... the video games. Told through encounters with the most remarkable – and the most mind-boggling – games of the last thirty-odd years, Fuck Yeah, Video Games is also a love letter to the greatest hobby in the world. From God of War to Tomb Raider, Pokémon to The Sims, Daniel relives each game with countless in-jokes, obscure references and his signature wit, as well as intricate, original illustrations by Rebecca Maughan. Alongside this march of merriment are chapters dedicated to the hardware behind the games: a veritable history of Sony, Nintendo, Sega and Atari consoles. Joyous, absurd, personal and at times sweary, Daniel's memoir is a celebration of the sheer brilliance of video games.
