De talrige og mangeartede bidrag i dette festskrift til Jens Erik Kristensen tegner både et billede af en usædvanlig afholdt og alsidig idehistoriker, forsker og underviser og bærer samtidig vidnesbyrd om genkommende temaer, analytiske mønstre og kritisk-teoretiske tilgange, som har fulgt Jens Erik Kristensen siden studietiden i 1970erne og de første ansættelser på Aarhus Universitet i starten af 1980erne. Festskriftet indeholder bidrag fra kolleger og samarbejdspartnere gennem en menneskealder. Tekster, der handler om Jens Erik Kristensen og tekster til Jens Erik Kristensen. Om de spor han krydsede, og de spor han satte sig. De beretter på den ene side om, hvad Jens Erik Kristensen nu forlader ligesom det på den anden side er tydeligt, at en særegen og markant forsker og underviser efterlader sig et tomrum på sit alma mater og vigtigere: i de skiftende miljøer hvor han har udlevet sine akademiske idealer. Bidragenes genremæssige og stilistiske forskellighed afspejler også Kristensens vidtforgrenede interesser og forbindelser, ligesom de åbenlyst er skrevet som en cadeau og en tak – selvsagt uden panegyrik – til en akademisk figur, der aldrig har søgt spotlyset, men tværtom bevaret en spirende nysgerrighed og generøst skrevet og samarbejdet med et utal af forskellige kolleger og på tværs af discipliner og faggrænser.

Teachers, Politics and Profession: Denmark in the 1960’s and 1970’sThe focus of this article is the political mobilization of Danish teachers during the 1960’s culminating with a one-day strike in March 1973. As civil servants, the teachers were not allowed to strike, but a comment made by the Danish Minister of Finance Per Hækkerup on national television about teachers working too little and earning too much, sparked the political reaction. The strike hit schools across the whole country, and the article draws on memoirs and contemporary educational journals and reports in its discussion of why and how a self-conscious and critical approach towards the school system, teaching and teachers working conditions gradually seemed to become part of teachers understanding of their profession.

PurposeWhether higher serum phosphorus levels increase risk for kidney disease onset and progression to end-stage renal disease in those with normal renal function is largely unknown. We sought to determine whether higher serum phosphorus levels increase risk for end-stage renal disease within a large ethnically diverse population with normal kidney function.MethodsA retrospective longitudinal cohort study was performed in the period January 1, 1998 through December 31, 2008 of adults within a vertically integrated health plan (3.4 million members). The primary objective was to determine risk of incident end-stage renal disease. Baseline and time-averaged phosphorus were used for Cox regressions analyses to calculate hazard ratios (HR) adjusting for age, sex, race, pre-existing hypertension, and diabetes.ResultsA total of 94,989 subjects were identified in the 11-year observation period. Mean age of the cohort was 50 years, with 61% female, 38% white, 14% black, and 25% Hispanic. Population-based phosphorus quartile ranges were 1.9-3.0 mg/dL, 3.1-3.4 mg/dL, 3.5-3.8 mg/dL, and 3.9-5.7 mg/dL. End-stage renal disease occurred in 130 (0.1%) subjects. Every 0.5-mg/dL phosphorus increase demonstrated an adjusted HR of 1.40 (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.06-1.84) and HR for mortality of 1.09 (95% CI, 1.06-1.13). Adjusted HRs were 0.64 (95% CI, 0.37-1.11), 0.83 (95% CI, 0.50-1.39), and 1.48 (95% CI, 0.96-2.28) in the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th quartile, respectively, compared with the first phosphorus quartile. Time-averaged serum phosphorus demonstrated a similar relationship across quartiles and as a continuous variable.ConclusionIn our large, ethnically diverse cohort of non kidney disease subjects, higher serum phosphorus levels were associated with greater risk for end-stage renal disease and mortality.

Thousands of Wing-Shot Migratory Birds. Soldier Graves and Danish-French Places of Remembrance Approx. 1915-1925During the months following the end of the First World War in November 1918, some 100,000 prisoners of war passed through Denmark on their way home from the camps on the Eastern Front. Some did not make it all the way, but died from exhaustion and the Spanish flu during their stay in Denmark. The present article deals with the part that these dead soldiers came to play in the formation of a remembrance culture in a country which had not itself taken part in the war. More specifically, it deals with the monuments which a small group of nationally-conservative men and women with ties to the armed forces and the social elite erected between 1919 and 1925 in remembrance of the dead French soldiers. To their minds, France had been the sole serious ally in the struggle for the return of North Schleswig to Denmark. For that reason, they were also behind two monuments in France to commemorate the fallen Danish-minded Schleswigers and the fallen Danes of the French Foreign Legion. Their national-conservative engagementand criticism of the policy of neutrality pursued during the war by the Danish government largely determined the creation and the form of the cemeteries.
