Design and development of a digital Card Sort tool for Maprova ApS
No full textThis report investigates how the planning tool Enterprise, part of Maprova’s BACKOFFICE system, can be optimized and scaled to better support various types of manufacturing companies with differing levels of complexity. Based on a qualitative study of existing users and workflows, observations were conducted at the company BM, and a card sorting exercise was carried out with participants from five different manufacturing companies. The aim was to gain insights into the system’s information architecture and user needs across different business types.From the observations, a heuristic evaluation, and requirements from both current and potential customers, a design guideline was developed. Additionally, relevant ISO standards were incorporated to improve usability and ensure a more structured design process.The study identifies four functional areas that were broadly agreed upon by participants in the card sort. However, it also concludes that the limited number of participants and Maprova’s still-small customer base constrain how scalable the solution can currently be. Nevertheless, the resulting design principles and recommendations provide a solid foundation for the continued development of Enterprise, supporting Maprova’s goal of creating a more standardized and flexible system
Flemming Christiansen, Chinatown, Europe: An Exploration of Overseas Chinese Identity in the 1990s
No full textThere have been few studies on Chinese communities in Europe, as is apparent from the bibliography in Flemming Christiansen’s book. This one fills a significant gap. There are seven chapters, all devoted to various questions of identity. At the start of the book, its author recalls anthropological arguments (primitivist, instrumentalist, cultural...) on the question of ethnicity, and runs through the various policies (integration, assimilation...) adopted in European countries in response to ..

Retsforbehold eller Tilvalgsordning - Policy eller Pres?: Legal reservation or Flexible Opt-In Approach - Policy or Pressure?
No full textThis project examines the underlying factors, which has led to the calling for election concerning the Danish legal reservation. This study examines whether the call for election is caused by the policy-preference influences of a Danish perspective or if it is rather by an increase in a Europeanisation making Denmark take a smaller part of the European cooperation as a consequence of the legal reservation. To answer our question above comprehensively, four theories are presented in the project. These are as follows: Politics Matter, Median voter theorem, a Veto player theory and theory of Europeanisation .The theories are used as analytical instruments both independently and also in connection with each other. As a basis of approach, we use document analysis to connect the two philosophical theories: positivism and critical realism. These philosophical theories are realized in our four policy theories from above in the analysis and reflection of the methodic choices. The document analysis gives not only a comprehensive description of how the documents for the analysis have been chosen, but also the importance of these. Our analysis shows that the call for the referendum was caused by a combination of policy preference and an increase in Europeanisation. The Danish politicians had had a referendum call on the agenda for a while so when the call was (possibly) forced upon them by a handful of decisions made in the EU, it did not conflict with their policy preferences.This project examines the underlying factors, which has led to the calling for election concerning the Danish legal reservation.

Political support in Northern and Southern Europe
No full textWith an ever-changing political landscape on the international level - different streams and trends within politics evolve over time. And in 2025 the west doesn’t seem as united as they’ve been since the WW2, and Europe finds itself in a position where the nations within needs to find common ground and work together as a unity to overcome the political pressure from the rest of world. Many studies has been conducted on democratic support through the years, but we would like to take the temperature ones again, and see how it has evolved over the recent years. How can the political support in Europe between 2006-2020 be explained, and what differences are to be found between Northern Europe and Southern Europe, where culture and traditions are different. This will be explained through the theoretical approach of David Easton, where political support is divided into two separate forms of support for democracy: Diffuse- and specific support. The study has been made mainly through the use of quantitative methods, where data from the European Social Survey and other internationally acknowledged databanks has been processed and analyzed through fixed-effects analysis and OLS-regression analysis. This with the purpose of finding correlation between different variables such as corruptions indexes, GDP’s etc., and the political support within Europe and furthermore two the isolated regions for deeper understanding: Northern- and Southern Europe. The project is motivated by the great literature within the science of democratic support, which though a minor meta-study of knowledge-gathering within the field has formed a basis for our study. The results shows that the political support in Europe as a whole is highly motivated by economic performance, but the regional differences are clear. Northern Europes political support are not affected by the economic situation, while it is in Southern Europe. And while the citizens of Northern Europe manage to separate diffuse support from the specific support to democracy, we find that those lines are not as clear in south Europe, since the lines between the two types of support here seems more blurred.With an ever-changing political landscape on the international level - different streams and trends within politics evolve over time.
