It was a user-generated feature where we asked University of Copenhagen PhDs and postdocs to write about the part of their field and research that fascinated them, right now.<\/p>\n<p>The pictures were taken, and the articles were written, by the researchers themselves.<\/p>\n<div class=\"factbox\">\n<p class=\"factbox-header feature-color\">Lab and Library<\/p>\n<p>In our Lab and Library series 2013-2016, PhD students and Postdocs from the University of Copenhagen wrote in to share their stories about science and research.<\/p>\n<p>It was an opportunity for PhD and postdocs to communicate their project to fellow scientists, and to set off the curiosity of other readers for their field. For all of them it was a chance to bolster the \u2018publications\u2019 section of their CV.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h3>You are the experiment \u2014 anthropology<\/h3>\n<p>Scientists in the Lab and Library series reflected about their own lives as researchers. Some of them even went further, and had the researchers themselves, and their own research practices, as their research object.<\/p>\n<p>Take Casper Jacobsen, an anthropologist, for example. Here he reflected on how <a href=\"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/fieldwork-with-baby-jesus-on-your-back\/\">travelling with a baby during fieldwork<\/a> helped give him and his partner a role that helped him carry out his research. Because of little Julius, the travelling couple’s renown in the town and circle of acquaintances gave them access to new situations that he could observe.<\/p>\n<h3>The science of ageing \u2014 health and metabolism<\/h3>\n<p>Martin Borch Jensen also had himself as a research object. For years on end, only ate every second day. For our series he speculated on whether it <a href=\"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/could-you-simply-not-eat-for-a-day\/\">would extend his own life.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Another health scientist, Panagiotis Mistriotis, looked at the same ageing phenomenon, and explained why, with stem cell regeneration techniques, ageing may no longer be considered a Law of Nature. Here he takes a deep dive here into what he calls the<a href=\"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/diving-into-the-fountain-of-youth\/\"> Fountain of Youth.<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Up on the ice \u2014 geology and biology<\/h3>\n<p>The University of Copenhagen has a large presence in research related to the Arctic region.<\/p>\n<p>Iben Koldtoft went on what she described as an arctic cruise for a month, dredging <a href=\"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/cruising-for-mud-collecting-samples-from-the-ocean-floor\/\">sediment off the ocean floor off the East of Greenland.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, thousands of metres up on the ice sheet, Nanna Bj\u00f8rnholt Karlsson searched for the traces of ancient volcanoes via the acid and <a href=\"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/up-on-the-ice-sheet-looking-down-with-a-radar\/\">dust stored in the ice that she could see with radar equipment.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n<p>And up in the very north of Greenland Kristine Dyrnum had her outdoor research ‘laboratory’ sabotaged by birds. She was looking at the balance between carbon uptake and release to<a href=\"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/climate-change-among-arctic-foxes-and-thieving-birds\/\"> find out if the Arctic will boost or

Via my own thesis work on the cellular biology of aging I had become acquainted with intermittent fasting, a dietary regime under which animals seem to live longer and healthier lives by only being fed on alternate days. If it was possible to eat like that, the deal sounded pretty sweet, so why not give it a try? As it turned out I could simply not eat that day, nor on every other day since then.\r\n<div class=\"factbox\">\r\n<p class=\"factbox-header feature-color\">Lab and Library<\/p>\r\nIn our Lab and Library series, PhD students and Postdocs from the University of Copenhagen write in to share their stories about science and research.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/lab-and-library-features-by-scientists-2013-2016\/\"><strong>BROWSE THROUGH the Lab and Library series here.<\/strong><\/a>\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\nIntermittent fasting is related to a more established observation that healthy lifespan extension can result from a constant reduction of caloric intake, provided that malnutrition does not occur. Under such \u201ccaloric restriction\u201d, a wide range of animal models live longer (both on average and compared to their normal maximal lifespan) and are less likely to develop a variety of age-related diseases (such as cancer, heart problems, diabetes and memory loss). Surprisingly these animals do not become sluggish, but are in fact more active than their regularly fed peers. There are some tradeoffs, however: calorically restricted lab animals produce a lower number of offspring, while humans attempting the regimen report feeling cold and, importantly but not surprisingly, constant hunger.\r\n<h2>Constant food deprivation<\/h2>\r\nBoth the benefits of and biological mechanisms behind intermittent fasting resemble those of caloric restriction, but there are also important differences. Both regimes are quite obviously connected to eating, or more accurately to sensing of nutrients. The primary biological pathway in both cases appears to be insulin and insulin-like growth factor 1 signaling, which as the name suggests detects the fed state of an organism via insulin levels in the blood and regulates a variety of physiological functions.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/lab-and-library-features-by-scientists-2013-2016\/\"><strong>BROWSE THROUGH the Lab and Library series here.<\/strong><\/a>\r\n\r\nWhen food is plentiful the body prioritizes growth and reproduction, but when conditions are scarce these activities are put on hold in favor of increasing the efficiency of its metabolism and other processes, as well as stimulating the organism to be awake and alert. Because of its more efficient metabolism and other protective measures, a body subject to these conditions ends up accumulating a lot less cellular damage than otherwise, which is probably the source of improved health.\r\n\r\nMost of these effects are identical for caloric restriction and intermittent fasting, but the way they are brought about differs significantly. As mentioned, caloric restriction involves constant food deprivation, and it is therefore easy to imagine how it could effect permanent changes to our physiology. Intermittent fasting, on the other hand, most often involves a drastic or complete reduction of calories on one day but with a compensatory increase in food intake the next, such that average consumption is not necessarily decreased.\r\n<h2>Be fruitful and multiply?<\/h2>\r\nSo how does it end up bringing about persistent physiological changes? Quite frankly, we don\u2019t quite know yet. A possible explanation is that a strong hunger-induced signal on those days when food is absent engenders various physiological changes analogous to those observed for chronic-but-partial reduction of calories. On eating days this signaling is not activated, but if the regulatory changes are not specifically counteracted the physiological effects might persist (albeit reduced) into the next fasting day. Continuing in this manner for an extended period could therefore produce an equilibrium where protective mechanisms are always partially activated.\r\n\r\nTaking this line of questioning further, one might ask why these responses occur at all? How did evolution produce a mechanism that improves health in adverse situations, and why isn\u2019t it just permanently active? Again we don\u2019t know for sure, but the explanation that I personally favor goes as follows: the primary objective of any living organism is to produce as many (surviving) offspring as possible. This axiom in biology underlies several theories of aging, with the argument that optimising the organism for rapid reproduction is more important than keeping it alive indefinitely.\r\n\r\nThus, when food is available priority number one becomes reproduction. But throughout evolution, food would not always be available, and it is easy to imagine an evolutionary advantage to putting off reproduction if it would simply result in both mother and child starving to death. In this case it becomes more important to keep the mother alive and to somehow acquire food, hence the increased focus on maintenance and alertness.\r\n<h2>Liberation from food<\/h2>\r\nSo how does intermittent fasting work in practice? My simple scheme simply means no calories of any kind from I wake up one day until the next morning, and then I eat whatever I want until I go to bed that day. Hunger is not really a big challenge, as after a week or two your body seems to learn that being hungry doesn\u2019t mean that it\u2019s starving to death. Thus hunger becomes a state that you can be conscious of and choose to act on or not, as opposed to an irrefutable imperative to halt all activity and seek out food. On the other hand it\u2019s wonderful not having to worry much about how much you eat (when you do), and food tastes a whole lot better when you\u2019re really hungry for it.\r\n\r\nA more significant challenge is being social on fasting days, which I manage through a combination of skipping unimportant, customary eating, and moving around fasting days so as not to coincide with social events where eating is important. On the other hand it\u2019s liberating not to have to shop, cook or even think up meals on fasting days, which along with avoiding post-food sluggishness makes fasting days highly productive.\r\n\r\nDo I feel healthier than I did three and a half years ago? Not really, but then I didn\u2019t feel unhealthy before. My blood pressure is a bit lower though, and I\u2019ve seen lowered cholesterol and reduced arthritic pain in others. Even so, my sticking to intermittent fasting is an educated guess in the hope of improved health, but as long as the day-to-day of it is enjoyable I\u2019m not about to change things.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/lab-and-library-features-by-scientists-2013-2016\/\"><strong>BROWSE THROUGH the Lab and Library series here.<\/strong><\/a>\r\n\n<!-- end of module 1 -->\n","post_title":"Could you simply not eat for a day?","post_excerpt":"In this first installment of our new science & research feature, Martin Borch Jensen writes in to tell us about how eating every second day could extend his life","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"could-you-simply-not-eat-for-a-day","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-01-25 12:43:33","post_modified_gmt":"2021-01-25 11:43:33","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/?p=12615\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}},{"reference":{"ID":9830,"post_author":"12","post_date":"2014-03-24 05:48:02","post_date_gmt":"2014-03-24 04:48:02","post_content":"I am a PhD student working with sagas found in old manuscripts in the Arnamagn\u00e6an Institute.\r\n\r\nFor those puzzled by the slightly preposterous name, it is derived from \u00c1rni Magn\u00fasson (1663-1730), an Icelander who lived most of his life in Copenhagen and who gathered together the most significant collection of medieval Scandinavian manuscripts extant today.\r\n<div class=\"factbox\">\r\n<p class=\"factbox-header feature-color\">Lab and Library<\/p>\r\nIn our Lab and Library series, PhD students and Postdocs from the University of Copenhagen write in to share their stories about science and research.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/lab-and-library-features-by-scientists-2013-2016\/\"><strong>BROWSE THROUGH the Lab and Library series here.<\/strong><\/a>\r\n\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\nPhD students in the humanities have the habit of preceding any discussion of their projects with a guilty giggle and at some point an awkward justification. This is not a manifesto, but I do think that discussing 'usefulness' in these days where that word implicity refers to 'benefits to the jobmarket' or 'national productivity' kind of misses the point.\r\n<h2>A national treasure<\/h2>\r\nThe sagas that I work with are a national treasure (and to be inclusive, a world treasure, which all people should be able to derive benefit from). There are very few who would suggest emptying the cabinets of the National Museum into the nearest dumpster and likewise with these records of times past inscribed upon parchment.\r\n\r\nI would go further, however, and say that preserving these manuscripts in a climate-controlled vault is not enough. There is no point in preserving our cultural heritage if nobody knows what it is, if nobody can read it, interpret it, gain knowledge of previous aspects of ourselves from it, and find embedded in it new perspectives upon contemporary problems and unforeseen relevance to our modern lives.\r\n\r\nIt may be hard to quantify the value in terms of cold hard cash, but that is what I do in my own humble way.\r\n<h2>Medieval version of Sunny Beach<\/h2>\r\nMy precise topic involves one saga by the name of 'Illuga saga Gr\u00ed\u00f0arf\u00f3stra' (that is 'The Tale of Illugi, the foster-son of Gr\u00ed\u00f0ur'). Illugi is a Danish Viking who goes travelling and gets into trouble when his ship is wrecked in the frozen North. His only hope of salvation lies in a troll-woman living in a cave nearby. She demands of him three truths in exchange for fire and throws in the added bonus of a night of pleasure with her daughter if he should pass the test.\r\n\r\nSince I'm not a fan of spoilers I won't say what happens afterwards but a clue might be revealed in the fact that when presenting my topic I try to jazz it up with the subtitle 'sex and violence in the Far North'. It might be going a bit far to call it a slightly chillier medieval version of Sunny Beach, but that description captures something that is vital to my thesis which is the question of popular entertainment.\r\n\r\nI enjoy reading these sagas and make no excuses for that, because a key part of cultural productivity is the incentive towards consumption. A picture which nobody looks at or a poem which nobody reads has little power to shape lives and so the successful examples of cultural production are often those which appeal to our likes, desires, titillations and fantasies.\r\n<h2>Stories travelling through Scandinavia<\/h2>\r\n'Illuga saga' exists in 37 different manuscripts produced between the 16th and 20th centuries (the tradition of copying books by hand continued in Iceland long after the printing press had done away with it in other places). There may have been many more copies, which have subsequently been lost.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/lab-and-library-features-by-scientists-2013-2016\/\"><strong>BROWSE THROUGH the Lab and Library series here.<\/strong><\/a>\r\n\r\nAs with other sagas, no author is named and so the work hinges on a completely different concept of authorship (in modern legalese terms 'intellectual property rights') than that which we are familiar with. A scribe copying the saga could add or remove sections, change words, and fiddle with meanings. This could be intentional or accidental.\r\n\r\nThe reasons are normally not based around a single individual's desires but those of an entire reading community, as scribes produced texts for specific readers and audiences. By looking at the same story as it travels through time and migrates from Iceland to Denmark and Sweden, I try to assess these changes in order to get an idea of those reading communities \u2013 what were their desires, what titillated them, what no longer resonated and thus was removed?\r\n<h2>Reflects change in women's roles<\/h2>\r\nA simple example might be the representation of female characters. Since the origins of the saga are shrouded in mist it is hard to talk of an original form, but that which we perceive in the earliest manuscripts seems to delight in the monstrous and sexually active female characters pulling the wool over the male hero's eyes.\r\n\r\nHe thinks that he is the typical Viking protagonist but perhaps he is just like so many other men who can easily be manipulated since they are lead not by their heads but by what's in their pants. Maybe this transgressive and ironic approach to male-female relations came about as a result of tightened control of women's roles and responsibilities in Icelandic society following the Reformation, literature as an escape valve for societal tension.\r\n\r\nYet by the end of the 17th century, when Danish and Swedish scholars were busy at work building a cultural foundation for their budding nation states, the focus shifts. Now it is on the men and their role as masculine paradigms in proto-Scandinavian society. Various small emendations and manipulations show this repurposing of the text.\r\n<h2>Shift in interpretation<\/h2>\r\nThomas Bartholin uses 'Illuga saga' in his work about the ancient Danes (1689) as an example of the undaunted spirit of his countrymen in times of yore. A Swedish edition from 1695 points out that the Danish king mentioned at the start is actually the king of Sk\u00e5ne and thus technically a Swedish king.\r\n\r\nThat such a huge shift can occur in the space of a century says a lot about the ingenuity of interpretative practices as they adapt to different society needs and readership circles. In tracing this thread, my work looks not just back but also contemplates (and contributes to) the near future.\r\n\r\nHow will we continue to make use of, read, interpret and value these texts in the years and centuries to come?\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/lab-and-library-features-by-scientists-2013-2016\/\"><strong>BROWSE THROUGH the Lab and Library series here.<\/strong><\/a>\r\n\n<!-- end of module 1 -->\n","post_title":"Sex and violence in the Far North","post_excerpt":"A PhD student explains the connection between Icelandic sagas and reality TV","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"sex-and-violence-in-the-far-north","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-01-25 12:39:28","post_modified_gmt":"2021-01-25 11:39:28","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/?p=9830\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}},{"reference":{"ID":11990,"post_author":"12","post_date":"2013-06-20 10:39:59","post_date_gmt":"2013-06-20 08:39:59","post_content":"In Europe and especially in Africa, we are used to large amounts of herbivore mammals, such as deer, wildebeest and buffaloes, eating the available plant material.\r\n\r\nHowever, when we take a look at South and Central America, the number of large herbivores is incredibly small. Instead, we find ants in long trails carrying pieces of leaves into their colonies, in which they grow a fungus to which they feed these leaves.\r\n<div class=\"factbox\">\r\n<p class=\"factbox-header feature-color\">Lab and Library<\/p>\r\nIn our Lab and Library series, PhD students and Postdocs from the University of Copenhagen write in to share their stories about science and research.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/lab-and-library-features-by-scientists-2013-2016\/\"><strong>BROWSE THROUGH the Lab and Library series here.<\/strong><\/a>\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\nIn their own peculiar way, these ants and their fungus take over the role of large herbivores and are responsible for a great part of the phosphorus and nitrogen recycling in the neotropics.\r\n\r\nDuring my research I try to understand the role of the fungus in the degradation of the plant material the ants bring into the colony, and how both partners are able to maintain this intriguing mutualism (a symbiosis where both partners have a fitness benefit from working together). To support our research we maintain our own little 'ant-zoo' in climate-controlled chambers, in such a way we always have ant colonies with fungus ready to work with.\r\n\r\nFor my PhD research I combined many techniques ranging from genetic analysis to enzyme activity assays. Aside from the wide range of techniques, we have close connections with the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute in Panama, where we conduct our field studies, and where we collect our ant colonies.\r\n<h2>Fertilisers<\/h2>\r\nYou need to understand the basics of this mutualism before you can go deeper into the wondrous world of these colonies.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/lab-and-library-features-by-scientists-2013-2016\/\"><strong>BROWSE THROUGH the Lab and Library series here.<\/strong><\/a>\r\n\r\nAnts have been cultivating fungus with leaves for millions of years, before humans were even able to think of agriculture. The fungus, closely related to our common mushroom that you can find in the supermarket, stopped producing mushrooms, but started making groups of swollen hyphal tips filled with sugars and fats for the ants. The ants eat these tips (called gongylidia) and feed the leaves, which they chew to pulp, mixed with their own feces (their excrement) to their fungus.\r\n\r\nGenerally, the ants are seen as the farmers in these systems because they give leaves to their fungus, and feed on the fungus. Even though, over the last decades, researchers have tried to understand what the exact role of the fungus is in the degradation of the plant material. Aside from that, it would be interesting to know what the exact fertilizing role is of the feces the ants mix with the leaf pulp before they give it to the fungus.\r\n\r\nIn our laboratory we analyzed the contents of the 'ant poo' and found over 30 proteins and the interesting thing is that most of them are enzymes designed to break down plant material. On top of that, we found that most of these enzymes actually have a fungal origin, which means they actually do not come from the ant, even though it is in their feces.\r\n<h2>Who is exploiting who?<\/h2>\r\nNow is having these enzymes in the feces not very interesting?\r\n\r\nIt turns out that many of these plant cell degrading enzymes are active after they have passed the ants' gut system. This makes the mutualism more interesting, because this means that the fungus farmed by the ants is somehow transferring its enzymes through the ants into the ant feces, to help with the degradation of the plant cells.\r\n\r\nBecause we know that the ants eat very specific structures of the fungus, the gongylidia, we decided to measure the gene expression of the genes coding for these enzymes in these structures, and compare it to the normal mycelium of the fungus. And what we found was that the enzymes are produced in higher amounts in the gongylidia than they are in the normal mycelium of the fungus.\r\n\r\nThis, all wrapped up together, gave us a new but striking insight into the biology of this system. A small detail I have to add is that the fungus is a living and 'moving' structure, with new parts with few mycelium and fresh plant material on top, degraded plant material with a lot of mycelium in the bottom, and in the middle the fungus grows the gongylidia, the parts the ants eat.\r\n\r\nBecause the ants are only eating these special structures of the fungus, it is for the fungus to force feed enzymes, which it can only produce if there is enough mycelium, and make the ants transport these to the top where the enzymes are actually needed.\r\n\r\nAnd that\u2019s how the ant farmers, in fact, become like the farmed 'cattle' of their fungus.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/lab-and-library-features-by-scientists-2013-2016\/\"><strong>BROWSE THROUGH the Lab and Library series here.<\/strong><\/a>\r\n\n<!-- end of module 1 -->\n","post_title":"Ants farming fungus, fungus 'farming' ants","post_excerpt":"Ants created farming long before humans.

The Danes rather moved on, following socio-economic opportunities such as better jobs or better land, but leaving the Danish language behind.\r\n\r\nBesides, the high percentage of young and unmarried men in the Danish immigrant group lead to a high number of mixed marriages where Danish could not be maintained as a family language. Together with the US American nationalistic propaganda in the wake of World War I and the melting-pot effect of post-war American society in the 1950s, the Danish language among the immigrants seems to have been subject to rapid decline.\r\n<h2>Recordings of Danish-American speakers<\/h2>\r\nOne of the aims of my postdoc-project \u2018Varieties of Danish outside Denmark\u2019 has been to find out whether the Danish language in the US indeed did decline in rapid and unstructured processes of language loss, only to be replaced quickly and effectively by English. In order to be able to tell, I have analyzed 64 recordings of Danish-American speakers from the 1970\u2019s, containing narratives such as the following:\r\n\r\n''Min mor <strong>var f\u00f8dt<\/strong> i 1866. <strong>And dad<\/strong> in 1863 [Danish \u2018attentreogtres\u2019].

I think more than we used to. When the children were at home, it was mostly English].\r\n\r\nThe text is not authentic as such. For the sake of brevity, I have put it together from bits and pieces of 2 interviews of Arnold Holmgaard (born in 1895 in the Danish settlement Lake Norden, South Dakota) and his wife Sophie (born in 1889 in Bryant, South Dakota), recorded in 1973 and 1976.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/lab-and-library-features-by-scientists-2013-2016\/\"><strong>BROWSE THROUGH the Lab and Library series here.<\/strong><\/a>\r\n\r\nAt first sight, Arnold\u2019s and Sophie\u2019s mixing of English and Danish (as well as some Jutish dialect) seems chaotic. However, my analyses of 64 of such recordings (90,000 words in total) show that the Danish language of the speaker group contains some systematic linguistic innovations, triggered by the contact with American English. These features are not just individual mistakes, but show up throughout the group. They make the language of the Danish-Americans systematically different from Continental Danish.\r\n<h2>Snapshot of Danish in North America<\/h2>\r\nSome of these America Danish features are highlighted in the text above: The use of 'v\u00e6re' (to be) in the forming of passive of transition verbs (e.g., 'Min mor var f\u00f8dt i 1866' instead of Danish 'Min mor blev f\u00f8dt'), the English verb order in main clauses with an fronted adverbial (e.g., 'I alle stores og banker, de havde mestendels en\u2026' instead of I alle stores og banker havde de\u2026\u2019), the use of \u2018for\u2019 to indicate duration (e.g., 'Jeg har levet her for hele mit liv' instead of 'Jeg har levet her hele mit liv') and the established use of English discourse particles (such as 'you know', 'see').\r\n\r\nFurther, the text shows some verbs that have taken over the English meaning, e.g., 'Jeg gik aldrig hjem til Danmark' where Danish 'at g\u00e5' is used as a broad movement verb like English 'to go'. Another America Danish verb is 'at lide', as in the utterance 'Vi lider at tale dansk'. It is constructed parallel to English 'to like' ('We like to\u2026'), but Danish requires an auxiliary verb ('Vi kan lide\u2026'). It is a funny secondary effect that Danish 'at lide' means 'to suffer', quite the opposite of the intended meaning.\r\n\r\nThis list of America Danish features is neither exhaustive nor closed - my project <em>Varieties of Danish outside Denmark<\/em> is still work in progress. Furthermore, the recordings from the 1970s show only a snapshot in time of the language use of 58 Danish-Americans, compared to the long history of Danish in the US. And if that\u2019s not enough, there is still research to be done on Faroe Danish (on the Faroe Islands) and South Schleswig Danish (in Northern Germany), the other two varieties of Danish outside Denmark.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/lab-and-library-features-by-scientists-2013-2016\/\"><strong>BROWSE THROUGH the Lab and Library series here.<\/strong><\/a>\r\n\n<!-- end of module 1 -->\n","post_title":"How Danish-Americans speak an older, yet newer, Danish","post_excerpt":"Karoline studies the use of the Danish language and how it has developed in the United States","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"how-danish-americans-speak-an-older-yet-newer-danish","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2021-01-25 12:38:43","post_modified_gmt":"2021-01-25 11:38:43","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/?p=9229\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}}],"category":false,"theme":1324,"number_of_posts":"4","style":"default"}]},"taxonomyData":{"category":[{"term_id":46,"name":"Science","slug":"science","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":46,"taxonomy":"category","description":"","parent":0,"count":830,"filter":"raw"}],"post_tag":[{"term_id":1324,"name":"Lab and Library","slug":"lab-and-library","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":1324,"taxonomy":"post_tag","description":"","parent":0,"count":19,"filter":"raw"}],"post_format":[],"expression":[{"term_id":18,"name":"Feature Article","slug":"feature_article","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":18,"taxonomy":"expression","description":"","parent":0,"count":1200,"filter":"raw"}],"translation_priority":[]},"featured_media_url":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/labandlibraryiben2.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/115402","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/9"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=115402"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/115402\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":115816,"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/115402\/revisions\/115816"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/115460"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=115402"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=115402"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uniavisen.dk\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=115402"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
