Abstract
In the play, "Copenhagen", Michael Frayn does not set out to arrive at any conclusion about the past. It is perplexing that the play sets the two characters, Heisenberg and Bohr, in the past yet does not let them reveal the causal connections of their past actions. The uncertainty about human mind and action is the focus of the play, which explains why Heisenberg appears and behaves differently in the two Acts of the play.

Abstract
Securitization has been described as an all-embracing, inflated concept dealing with all kinds of threats to the existence, well-being or development of individuals, social groups, nations and mankind. This essay critically evaluates the Copenhagen School's views on the securitization of issues. The author recognizes the difference between Ole Waever's opinion -- which sees securitization as negative -- and Jap de Wilde's -- which can see its positive impact. While not quite persuaded by the adverse impact of securitization, the author acknowledges the advantage of desecuritizing some cases. Cases used as examples are the South China Sea conflict and the ASEAN forest fires.

From the Paper
"Security problems, defined by Waever, are developments that threaten the sovereignty or independence of a state in a particularly rapid or dramatic fashion, and deprive it of the capacity to manage by itself. Seeing security in a traditional way, Waever asserts that the dire impacts caused by these kinds of developments then justify the state to take any action that is beyond the normal political practice of the concerned state. The state can claim a special right to mobilize maximum effort to protect its sovereignty. This view on who is the actor and what is the referent object then undergoes a slight shift in the 1998 work in which the society and its identity also becomes the other important referent object."

Abstract
This essay critically evaluates the Copenhagen School's views on the securitization of issues. The author recognizes the difference between Ole Waever's opinion -- which sees securitization as all too negative -- and Jap de Wilde's -- which can see its positive impact. While not quite persuaded by the adverse impact of securitization, she acknowledges the advantage of desecuritizing some cases. Cases used as examples are the South China Sea conflict and the ASEAN forest fires.

Abstract
The paper relates that in 2007, an international team of scientists-led by Henrik Clausen, a professor at Denmark's University of Copenhagen-published a groundbreaking article in Nature Biotechnology. The paper discusses how the article described the team's success in discovering a process that could convert any type of human blood into the equivalent of Type O. The paper explains that Type O is the most versatile blood type, and is tolerated well by almost all humans in cases of blood transfusion, and thus the Clausen discovery anticipated the obsolescence of blood shortages, promising to revolutionize transfusion medicine. The paper discusses how at the same time, the discovery highlighted troubling questions of technology and privatization in healthcare, creating yet another ethical dilemma for patients, policy makers, researchers, healthcare administrators, and intellectual property holders such as ZymeQuest, the owner of the blood type conversion patent.

Abstract
The following paper attempts to date the works of Terbrugghen according to periods in his life. The paintings that are analyzed in the early period are Crowning with Thorns in Copenhagen (1620), Execution of St. John the Baptist in Edinburgh, and Christ at Emmaus in Potsdam. The works that are classified in his middle period are: Lazarus and the Rich Man in Utrecht (1625), Gamblers in New York (1623), and Boy Lighting his Pipe (1623), and finally the works analyzed in his late period are: Jacob, Laban, and Leah in Cologne (1628), The Concert in Leningrad (1626) and Backgammon Players in Sweden (1627).

From the Paper
"The chief problem one faces in confronting Terbrugghen s art is that of dating his work. The majority of his works are undated and dating them is difficult because Terbrugghen never had a set pattern. You cannot set up a chronology because he was an artist, not a thinker, and, therefore, not one to proceed step by step in his works. Terbrugghen was never outstanding as an inventor of motifs but liked to pick up ideas from others and elaborate on them. Throughout his career he used ideas from other artists. He did not use any one artist as an influence in just one period of his work, but tended to use ideas of the same artist throughout his life. An example of this is the influence of Caravaggio that can be seen in some of his works throughout his lifetime as an artist."

Abstract
The following paper discusses August Bournonville's family life, the way in which he got to be the principal for the Copenhagen Royal Theatre, as well as their ballet-master and dance teacher. It examines the way in which Bournonville took a very contrasting humanistic approach to dance he tended to focus on the beauty found in the ordinary things.

From the Paper
"His third daughter, Mathilde, was a teacher; his fourth daughter, Therese was a homemaker, and his son Edmond was a doctor with a successful practice in both Sweden and Denmark. Wilhelmine was the Bournonville's adopted daughter, who seemed to perhaps ease his guilt about his daughter whom he had abandoned so many years earlier in France. It is important to interject that Bournonville did keep in correspondence with the adoptive parents of his first-born daughter, and he even corresponded with her after she was on her own. He never revealed to her that he was her father, but he aided her economically at any chance that he had."

Abstract
This paper compares the contrasting, yet similar, advertising techniques of two ads, one for Copenhagen smokeless tobacco in Popular Mechanics and the other for Harley-Davidson motorcycles in Sports Illustrated's annual swimsuit issue. The writer contends that It is up to the ability of the individual, and subject to his susceptibility of media messages, to decide how valid these messages are to him and his own life and self-perception.

From the Paper
"Advertising informs consumers, improves the quality of goods offered, makes entertainment and new programming possible, gives new brands a change and lends to the synergy of a free market to generate economic benefits by encouraging consumer and commercial spending and investment. Advertising is a valuable part of the marketing mix in most free market economies, and especially so in today's context ..."

Abstract
Looks at the differing historical assessments of the nature of Israel during the rules of David and Solomon and whether Israel could be classified as a kingdom during those times. Examines both the traditional view, where David and Solomon are considered central to Jewish history, and the position taken by a group called the "new archaeologists" who claim that David and Solomon were, at best, small-time leaders of local tribes.

From the Paper
"Such an analysis is more a matter of commentary on the text than any sort of historical analysis because until recently there was little clear evidence that David or Solomon even existed, and many scholars have claimed that they did not. Under the traditional view, David and Solomon are considered central to Jewish history. A group known as the "new archaeologists" claim that David and Solomon were at best small-time leaders of local tribes, making the greatness of Israel under their leadership is a matter of exaggeration. For instance, they doubt that Solomon ever built the great temple as described in the Bible. These scholars are also known as the "minimalists" because they believe in a minimal interpretation of the evidence available about ancient Israel."

Abstract
The paper is written as the personal report of a foreign exchange student who will spend two years in Denmark, as an introduction to cultural interaction. Subjects covered are cultural interaction at home and at school, history and stereotypes and the advantages of living in Denmark.

From the Paper
"I read before I left that ;The Danish education system has a tradition of focusing not only on academic accomplishments, but also on the students; personal development and contributing to making them committed community members. Democracy and shared experiences are given a high priority, and the students critical sense is sharpened; (Way of life). It is true, the teacher seems much more interested in us as people, not just students. We have to learn English in school, and most of the classes are in Danish. So far, I haven t had much problem understanding the instructors, but I find the homework is much harder. We often work together in groups, and Jens and I spend several hours each night working on projects for class. I think the classes here seem harder, and the students seem more serious, even though they are certainly less formal than we were at home. I m not the only international student here, there are several of us, and we meet together once a week or so to support each other, and trade experiences. "

Abstract
This paper traces the life of Hans Christian Anderson from the time of his birth in Odense, Denmark in 1805. It examines his education, his relationship with his parents and his writing career. The paper discusses Anderson's works, including his first novel, "The Improvisatore" and subsequent texts such as his famous fairy tales such ("The Princess on the Pea," "The Little Mermaid," "The Emperor?s New Clothes", "The Ugly Duckling" and others). The paper reflects on Andersen's important contribution to the world of children's literature.

From the Paper
"An examination of the distinctive characteristics of his writing illuminates their enduring quality and his contribution to children's literature. One of the key characteristics, which makes Anderson's tales lively and interesting, is his use of the oral narrative. His tales often begin with a question that draws the readers or listeners into the story. By adopting the perspective of his characters, Andersen brings them alive, whether they are trees, trolls or sparrows. His vivid description of the Emperor's court in "The Nightingale" with its lavish and exotic objects evokes the mysterious and exotic quality of the Orient."
