Reciprocities: Danish buildings in Schleswig-Holstein

Abstract

The painter Emil Nolde's studio was built in 1927 and, the following year, construction was begun on what was to become the house that he shared with his wife Ada in Seebüll. The building was located on a mound in the middle of the marsh, not far from the new border between Germany and Denmark that was made as a result of the vote in 1920. Nolde had designed the building according to the principle that it was to have ‘three facades following the passage of the sun’. Like a sunflower, the facades of the building were to reach out and take in the changing light in step with the sun's flight across the sky. There would be ample opportunity for both skylight and sunlight to enter the building as the positioning on a mound raised the building above the surroundings. In Nolde's view, up on the mound, ‘the entire celestial sphere was above us; it was greater than a semicircle - strange how even a small elevation in the flat landscape can make the vault of heaven seem larger’.

Differences and similarities in medicine use, perceptions and sharing among adolescents in two different educational settings

“…The use of medicines to prevent disease and promote health is a frequent health behavior among adolescents [1], [2], [3]. In Denmark, the prevalence of monthly pain medication use for headaches among 15-year-old girls is approximately 56% [4], [5]. A Swedish study has likewise demonstrated a frequent use of both over-the-counter (OTC) medication and prescription drugs in adolescents [6].…”
