Abstract

This paper examines the poetry collection “alfabet” by Inger Christensen. This particular collection of poems is unique because it is built upon the Fibonacci sequence which has an exponential growth. It analysis in depth the two poems “defolianterne” and “alfabeterne” and will focus on structure/shape, imagery/effects, and the theme.

In the analysis part “theme” there will be worked with existence. How and when something exists and how the poems present the theme of existence in their own different way. The 2 poems which are analyzed use the themes in two different ways.
Through the paper, the collection of poem form will be compared to the form of Fibonacci sequence, which is introduced and used in the analysis. The very special shape Fibonacci sequence presents will be focused from the start.

Imagery and instruments are important parts of poetry. Therefore they will be parts of the analysis. How they are used in the poems to get the message and the emotion out.

The rhythm part of the text is also analyzed, because it is not continuous throughout the collection.

Through the work with the poetry collection it has been shown how different it is possible to work with the theme existence in parts of the same collection by the same writer. Also how a mathematical sequence works with poems, and how it is possible to get the message out through a mathematical sequence. [Læs mere…]

Den store depression

Abstract

The Wall Street Crash on 24^th and 29^th October 1929, otherwise known as Black Thursday and Black Tuesday, threw the American stock market into a frenzy when stock market prices suddenly plummeted. Thousands of traders rushed to sell their shares, but to their dismay ended up losing their fortunes. The economic depression that followed quickly developed into a worldwide depression, which had devastating effects on many countries. This widespread financial crisis was, therefore named The Great depression. This rapport accounts for the cause of the depression, and its impact on the socio-economy of Denmark. Relevant statistics and policies will be utilised in order to examine this situation. Through an analysis of H.C. Branners novel Legetøj from 1936, the fascistic work environment at Kejserboderne is exposed, and sheds a realistic light on the power struggles that reigned in the 30’s labour market. The terror tactics used to subdue the main characters has them fearing for their sanity, and their livelihood. Finally, this rapport shows how the current state of the Danish labour market has improved by comparison to that of the 1930’s. [Læs mere…]

Epigenetik

Abstract

This study looks into the subject of epigenetics. It contains an account for the epigenetic mechanisms altering the DNA, a detailed account for the chemical changes of the altered DNA, a chemically-oriented description of the source of the DNA changes and eventually an analysis and an assessment of the consequences of these changes. The study’s solely based on theory, since relevant laboratorial experiments are likely to take approximately ten to twenty years. The main processes of epigenetics include DNA methylation, four different types of histone modifications and RNA interference. Several studies done by foreign scientists show a correlation between damaging experiments during early brain development cause epigenetic changes with varying possible effects, among others longevity, obesity and/or cancer. Several hints indicate that epigenetics might be a possible cure for any mental health disorder, any disease, any illness, even cancer. [Læs mere…]
