Denne særlige studieudgave samler nogle af emnerne fra Udlændingeret, 4. udgave, bind 1 (2017) og bind 2 (2021) til brug for undervisningen i faget udlændingeret, særligt vedrørende asylretten, familiesammenføring, inddragelse af opholdstilladelser samt udsendelse. Studieudgaven er blevet til i et samarbejde mellem kursusunderviserne på Københavns Universitet, Aalborg Universitet og Aarhus Universitet. De udvalgte kapitler er som udgangspunkt optrykt i den form og med det indhold, de havde i bogens to oprindelige bind. Fremstillingen er således ikke på alle punkter ajour med den nuværende retstilstand. Studieudgaven må derfor suppleres med aktuelle retskilder og anden relevant litteratur som led i undervisningen. Da udvælgelsen er foretaget med sigte på de undervisningsmæssige behov, vil studieudgaven være utilstrækkelig for de praktikere, der arbejder med udlændingeretlige problemstillinger i forvaltningen, domstolene, advokatsektoren og organisationsverdenen. Disse brugere henvises derfor til de to bind af bogen Udlændingeret, 4. udgave (2017 og 2021) samt til Claes Nilas’s bog Migrationsjura (2021).

Kognitive dysfunktioner kan forekomme på baggrund af udviklingsforstyrrelser, skader og sygdomme i hjernen samt ved psykiatriske sygdomme. De kan medføre nedsættelse af funktionsevner, der i høj grad kan begrænse personens mulighed for at udføre og deltage i meningsfulde aktiviteter. ERGOTERAPI VED KOGNITIVE DYSFUNKTIONER har til hensigt at fremme evidensbaseret praksis inden for ergoterapi til borgere med kognitive dysfunktioner. Formålet med ergoterapi til borgere med kognitive dysfunktioner er at mindske aktivitetsbegrænsninger, fremme deltagelse i hverdagslivets aktiviteter samt støtte borgeren til at genvinde kontrol over livet. De ergoterapeutiske interventioner i denne bog er baseret på grundlæggende teori og arbejdsprocesser inden for ergoterapi, viden om hjernens plasticitet, viden om kognition samt aktuel forskning på området. ERGOTERAPI VED KOGNITIVE DYSFUNKTIONER kan læses som en grundlæggende indføring i ergoterapi til borgere med kognitive dysfunktioner, men bogen kan også bruges som et opslagsværk, da kapitlerne kan læses enkeltvis. Bogen er målrettet ergoterapeutstuderende, men også uddannede ergoterapeuter og andre sundhedsprofessionelle kan benytte bogen, da den omsætter ny forskningsbaseret viden til konkret praksis.

This commentary offers the reader a set of letters (or letter parts) written by Cicero, Paul, and Seneca, which have been selected against the Transformational Leadership categories of ‘idealised influence’, ‘inspirational motivation’, ‘intellectual stimulation’, and ‘individualised consideration’. Chapter 1 offers introduction into authors and theory: all three letter writers are considered as ancient leadership figures composing leadership letters. The letters selected are presented in original text facing a translation (Chapter 2). Chapter 3 provides analysis and discussion of each letter, and aims to introduce the reader to the historical and literary contexts before reading the letter through the lenses of Transformational Leadership theory. Chapter 4 sums up the findings on each letter and each letter writer in light of Transformational Leadership and its categories. The volume is aimed at all those who are studying the function of ancient letter-writing – especially the letters of Cicero, Paul, or Seneca.

Siden 3. udgaven af Udlændingeret udkom i 2006 har markante ændringer i de politiske hensyn og prioriteringer såvel som i de internationale forhold ført til gentagne ændringer af udlændingeloven. Bogen har derfor måttet gennemgå en omfattende revision for at kunne give en dækkende fremstilling af centrale spørgsmål vedrørende udlændinges indrejse og ophold i Danmark. Foruden indgående behandling af reglerne om visum og indrejse opdaterer dette bind regler og praksis vedrørende asyl og familiesammenføring.Fremstillingen bygger på materiale fra Udlændingestyrelsen og især på praksis fra Flygtningenævnet, Udlændingenævnet og domstolene. EU-harmoniseringen af asyl- og indvandringspolitikken, som på forskellig vis påvirker dansk udlændingeret, er ligeledes omtalt.Bogen henvender sig både til studerende og forskere og til praktikere i forvaltningen, domstolene, advokatsektoren og organisationsverdenen, som beskæftiger sig med juridiske spørgsmål i relation til udlændinges indrejse og ophold.IndholdsoversigtForordKapitel 1.

Menneskerettighederne er kommet i stigende modvind som følge af en række nye samfundsmæssige megatrends, både globalt og i Danmark: Grænseoverskridende trusler fra terror over klima til pandemier. Teknologi og techgiganter, der ændrer radikalt på forholdet mellem det offentlige og det private rum. Voksende individualisering med nye forståelse af forholdene mellem køn, familie og den enkelte. Menneskerettighederne insisterer på, at alle er beskyttet – også de mennesker, vi ikke bryder os om eller er enige med. Menneskerettighederne kan støde sammen med legitime overordnede samfundshensyn og økonomiske prioriteter. Men menneskerettighederne er også selv præget af indre spændinger – f.eks. mellem frihed og beskyttelse. Denne bog analyserer nogle af de menneskeretlige konflikter og dilemmaer, der præger debatten i Danmark – med internationale udblik. Hvordan udfordres, tilpasses, afvejes og fortolkes menneskerettighederne i helt aktuelle konflikter – om efterretningstjenester, overvågning, flygtningestrømme, kunstig intelligens, religionsfrihed, køn og kunstig befrugtning? Bogen kvalificerer, hvordan vi forstår disse emner, og den diskuterer, hvordan vi kan håndtere problemstillingerne.

Nyt nummer af Danmarks dagsordensættende litterære magasin. Bidrag fra 13 forfattere, herunder Glenn Bech, Ursula Andkjær Olsen, Joan Rang og amerikanske Dionne Brand (på dansk ved Mikas Lang).Teksterne i magasinet tilbyder et rum til den politiske bevidsthed. En mulighed for nye veje at gå, nye stier at betræde. De behandler tematikker som brud, fysiske såvel som psykiske. Brud i geografien, brud i hjertet. De er optaget af emner som glemsel og sygdom, af systemer i bred forstand.Tilsammen danner bidragene en mosaik, et kraftfelt af energi. Et levende, pulserende og aktuelt vidnesbyrd om litteraturen og skriften som en slags dør – måske, som det hedder hos Dionne Brand: ”døren ind til væren i den store verden”.Amulet Magasin 3 er et magasin til alle, der er trætte af at føle sig alene. Litteraturen er en mulighed for at blive fælles. Det ved den norske bidragyder, forfatteren Marjam Idriss, hør bare: “Jeg hater å være ‘jeg’, tenker jeg på litteraturarrangementet. Jeg vil heller være ‘vi’. Det er en ensom tanke, men den er ikke håpløs. Den er begynnelsen på noe.”Amulet Magasin 3 er begyndelsen på noget. Læs med.

The image of a tortured genius working in near isolation has long dominated our conceptions of the artist's studio. Examples are abound: think Jackson Pollock dripping resin on a cicada carcass in his shed in the Hamptons. But times have changed; ever since Andy Warhol declared his art space a 'factory', artists have begun to envision themselves as the leaders of production teams, and their sense of what it means to be in the studio has altered just as dramatically as their practices. "The Studio Reader" pulls back the curtain from the art world to reveal the real activities behind artistic production. What does it mean to be in the studio? What is the space of the studio in the artist's practice? How do studios help artists envision their agency and, beyond that, their own lives? This forward-thinking anthology features an all-star array of contributors, ranging from Svetlana Alpers, Bruce Nauman, and Robert Storr to Daniel Buren, Carolee Schneemann, and Buzz Spector, each of whom locates the studio both spatially and conceptually - at the center of an art world that careens across institutions, markets, and disciplines. A companion for anyone engaged with the spectacular sites of art at its making, "The Studio Reader" reconsiders this crucial space as an actual way of being that illuminates our understanding of both artists and the world they inhabit.

Sociology is a constantly changing scientific endeavour, adventure and practice that was born with the advent of modernity. One of the main reasons for the rise of sociology was modern societys wish to understand itself. In this introduction to sociology, the authors emphasize the importance and centrality of the idea of the sociological imagination, as it was conceived by sociologist C. Wright Mills. This book will enhance and further develop your sociological imagination with a sensibility that has its breeding ground in the Scandinavian countries; this is the first comprehensive attempt to write an international/Nordic text book and introductory text to sociology. This book is aimed primarily at first year students in sociology but will be of interest to anyone who is looking for a comprehensive guide to the exciting field of sociology.

"Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl, Written by Herself," is the powerful and unflinching autobiography of Harriet Jacobs, a formerly enslaved African-American woman. This seminal work of abolitionist literature offers a rare and vital firsthand account of the horrors of slavery from a female perspective. Jacobs chronicles her personal experiences, providing a gripping narrative of resilience and resistance against an inhumane system. A crucial historical document, "Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl" sheds light on the complexities of slavery in 19th-century America and the struggle for freedom and self-determination. Jacobs's story remains a testament to the enduring strength of the human spirit and a vital contribution to the understanding of American history and the fight for social justice. It continues to resonate as a powerful indictment of slavery and a celebration of the courage required to overcome oppression.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.This work is in the public domain in the United States of America, and possibly other nations.

This is the first comprehensive account of freemasonry in the Western world, written by two of the field’s foremost scholars. It embraces every country in the Americas, with a particular focus on the American experience. The authors devote significant attention to the Scottish origins of the lodges and their growth in the American colonies, against a backdrop of European imperialism and the emergence of democratic movements. Later they examine the story of freemasonry in the twentieth century, from its encounter with Nazism to its decline beginning in the 1960s. Future directions for the movement are also discussed. Along the way major figures in the movement are assessed: Benjamin Franklin, Alessandro Cagliostro, Giuseppe Garibaldi, Harry S. Truman, and many others. Masons and non-masons, college students, and the curious general reader will find Freemasonry and Civil Society a dazzling and accessible account of one of the world’s most enduring fraternal organizations.“In this lucid and engaging survey, two of the world’s leading experts on the history of freemasonry explain how it shaped modern social and political cultures. The history of freemasonry can be bewildering, but Margaret Jacob and Maru Vázquez provide an authoritative and accessible overview which deftly disentangles the many different threads in the masonic story. This will be the definitive introduction to the history of freemasonry for many years to come.”—Andrew Prescott, University of Glasgow
