This project is an investigation of Nørrebro United and their ability to become a rallying point in Nørrebro. This project looks at the relationship between place and football, and how football teams can serve as a representative of a given place and its identity. Theories about Football, place and identity are used in order to answer that it is possible, but there are some problems standing in the Nørrebro United’s way. They need to become a more recognizable name in Nørrebro, which this project suggest could be done with a prominent football team. The duality of being both a social organisation and a football club hurts their focus. Nørrebro United needs to find a way to integrate their social values into a football club, such as a prominent special needs team, or find a way to put the two different focuses together in a more cohesive way. The lack of professionals in the administrative part of Nørrebro United is causing more pressure on both the voluntary and paid staff, which harms the association overall. The interviews this project did with people involved with Nørrebro United, have enlightened a lot of potential in the culture and determination to change and improve Nørrebro, but the lack of an overall plan is hurting this potential.

For many years, the climate changes have caught the media’s attention worldwide. The international community has urged for action from politicians and diplomats globally. At a summit, known as the Earth Summit, in May 1992 in the city of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, the United Nations (UN) adopted the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and thus sat the foundation for the future Conference of the Parties (COP) Climate Conferences, which were found in 1995 in Berlin, Germany. Since 1995, there’s been held 24 conferences, the latest in December 2019 in Ma-drid, Spain. Two of the conferences concluded with the adoption and ratification of two major agree-ments: the Kyoto Protocol in 1997 and the Paris Agreement in 2015. With Norman Fairclough’s Crit-ical Discourse Analysis, we analyze and examine articles from the Danish media Politiken and from an historical context, as well as the historical and political development of the COP Climate Confer-ences from 1997 and 2015. We analyze how it was received in the Danish press and furthermore: how the Danish press viewed the Kyoto Protocol and the Paris Agreement. We conclude, that there is a climate political discourse in the articles which is negative in the Kyoto Protocol and positive in the Paris Agreement. The articles show a skepticism for the objectives in the Kyoto Protocol, while the articles regarding the Paris Agreement show a skepticism in relation to the accomplishment.

In the recent years freedom of press has been in decline all over the world. Even in countries inside the European Union, freedom of speech has been challenged, namely in Poland and in Hungary. Several incidents such as harassment of journalists, media laws threatening editorial freedom, and freedom of press itself inside the two countries, has led to a vast critique from the European Union. The fact that press freedom, which would seem to be a self-evident core principle in the EU, is threatened, is what has led to the motivation of this project. We ask ourselves: How can we un-derstand the normative clash between the European Union and Hungary and Poland’s view on freedom of press? We try answering this question from an English School theoretical approach by looking at the influence of political actors and the influence of norms, by analysing how different norms are challenging each other inside the union regarding the topic of freedom of press. Also, the project tries to contribute to the understanding of the EU as a regional international society and a normative power. Lastly the project includes the media system theory to get a historical understanding of how the media systems in Poland and Hungary varies from the Western European media systems, and how these different systems may contribute to the colliding views on freedom of press within the EU. The methodology in this paper is based on a qualitative document analysis from the European Parlia-ment and the Council of Europe dating back to 2017, including discussions, reports, statements from politicians and Media Freedom Alerts from each time Hungary or Poland and freedom of press has been mentioned in either of the two institutions. The paper concludes that the EU, regarding upholding the principles of freedom of press, must be un-derstood as a solidarist international regional society, though the union in most parts fails in its role as a normative power, as it is not successful in spreading its values to Hungary and Poland. This is also evident through the media system theory. Although Hungary is maintaining their existing norms regarding press freedom, Poland’s norms are evolving to resemble those in Hungary, and are thus in a process of moving out of their media system cluster into Hungary’s.

AbstractThe subject of research in this paper is local news media, and the significance of exclusivity as a news criteria. Through research of the dynamics in the local journalistic field, the paper asks the question: How does exclusivity as a news criteria and the desire to publish solo-articles affect the journalistic field of the local editorials and their journalists in the daily work, and is there a difference in importance compared to national media? The examination of these questions is based upon various sociological- and media theories that help express the concept of exclusivity and the classic news criteria. These include among others, Ida Willig’s definition of exclusivity as a sixth news criteria, Gaye Tuchman’s paper on “hard vs. soft news”, as well as the sociological studies of Pierre Bourdieu regarding news production in a field perspective. Methodologically, the research design of the paper is a news ethnographic field analysis. Through the empirical foundation of qualitative interviews with journalists and editors from three different local media, a basis for an analysis of the various journalistic processes and work methods is found. The analysis seeks to display the environments in which a solo-article comes to be and exclusivity as a news criteria is exercised, and thereby show the differences and similarities between the featured editorials. An inherent belief that they possess an important role and responsibility as a local media is present through all editorials. Though most articles exist as solo due to little competition in their respective local areas, the prestige of being first with an important story, especially if it gets picked up by a national news outlet, is very present. While exclusivity may be almost inevitable in local media, the prestige, that Ida Willig stresses as being important in national media, seems to generally be embedded in the journalistic field as a whole.

Formålet med projektet er at undersøge, hvordan tre medarbejdere i IT-freelancehuset EPICO skaber mening i deres arbejde - såvel hjemme og på arbejdspladsen under COVID-19. Der fokuseres på, hvordan medarbejderne navigerer i det grænseløse arbejde mellem deres privat- og arbejdsliv. Dette viser sig ved den mening, som medarbejderne tilegner deres identitet, som forstået ved hjælp af Karl Weicks meningsskabelse, samt grænsesætning gennem det grænseløse arbejde og boundary theory. For at analysere projektets empiri, benyttes en kombination af socialkonstruktivisme og fænomenologi, hvilket i sammenspil med det teoretiske perspektiv, giver et indblik i medarbejdernes livsverden. Dette beskriver hvordan forskellige forståelser af familie, arbejde, fritid påvirker balancen i hverdagslivet med øget hjemmearbejde i forbindelse med COVID-19. Projektets konklusion tydeliggør at, der kan ske en en sammensmeltning af medarbejdernes arbejds- og privatliv. Konklusionen giver samtidig indsigt i hvorvidt medarbejdernes work-life balance påvirkes af det øgede grænseløse arbejde. Desuden belyser projektet forskellige aspekter af identiteter i blandt andet alder, arbejdserfaring og opfattelse af hjemmet som arbejdsrum, og om dette har indflydelse på medarbejdernes meningsskabelse. The objective of this research project is to examine how three consultants working for EPICO, navigate through working at home, and in the workplace during the COVID-19 pandemic. The focus of this project then is the navigation and setting of borders between private life and of their work life. This is illuminated through the meaning that is subscribed to the consultant’s identities as it is understood by theories of Sensemaking by Karl Weick, as well as boundaries as presented by boundary theory and The Boundless. In analyzing the empirical evidence, the project utilizes a combination of social constructivism and phenomenology which, in combination with the theoretical framework, grants us a window into the inner world of the interviewees. This describes how different views of family, work, freetime and more allows for a deeper understanding of the process that is balancing life with more home-based work, during the COVID-19 pandemic. The project concludes that there is a substantial merging of private and work life for all interviewees. Though, several variations present themselves. This is explained by differences in, among others, age, experience in work and how the interviewed sees the home as a workspace in relation to theories of Sensemaking.

This paper examines the implementation of the ESCO-model in Danish organizations. The study will be conducted on a case study of the implementation of an ESCO-project in Middelfart municipality in cooperation with Schneider Electric. The paper analyzes the ESCO-project and Building Analytic through organization- and innovation theory. Furthermore, it analyzes the organizational change connected to the implementation of the ESCO-project in Middelfart municipality. The paper discusses alternatives to the ESCO-model as well as if the case study is generalizable to other organizations. The study seeks to understand how to ensure a successful implementation of the ESCO-model through innovations and which change processes it causes.

In this paper we examine how teachers in dansih public schools experienced the introduction ofthe digital learning- and communication platforms. Furthermore it shows the significance ofthese platforms, in the corporation of the teachers and the lectures they teach, before, under andafter Denmark experienced the nationwide COVID-19 lockdown. This is a qualitative study thatinvestigates how the digital platforms have influenced the teachers options for teaching due tothe lockdown.We analyze two narrative interviews with respectively one teacher teaching elementary school,and the other teaching middle- and high-school and their experiences during the pandemic withthe digital platforms. It shows the complexity of what happens when the teachers worklifesuddenly change, and the significance it has for their of understanding and their way of handlingnew learning processes. To understand this complexity the paper includes theories from FritzSchütze, Henning Salling Olesen, Hartmund Rosa and Knud Illeris.Moreover, in this paper we discuss what significance both the accelerating and alienating factorshave for the teachers, and their way of understanding themselves in relation to these processes.Furthermore we discuss what kind of learning processes are seen with the teachers. This isargued and supported by our selected theory.This paper concludes that the individual teachers each represent their own way of accessing thedigital platforms, however they do agree that the implementation of one platform, Aula, is notdesirable. The sudden changes in their work life demands certain alienating processes, whichpotentially will compromise their role as a teacher. In addition to this, the teachers experiencedifferent kinds of learning processes, in the form of experience and learning hindrance.

Dette projekt undersøger, hvordan planlægningen af bæredygtigtig byggeri, biodiversitet og solenergi håndteres i danske byer. Projektet undersøger ligeledes hvilke barrierer der findes i forbindelse med planlægningen af en bæredygtig by. Hermed forsøges at finde frem til mulige løsninger, på de barrierer der konkretiseres i projektet. Projektet når til en forståelse af, at de gældende markedsstrukturer og reguleringer i de udvalgte genstandsfelter, har en stor betydning for, hvordan bæredygtighed planlægges. Disse markedsstrukturer og reguleringer kan i visse tilfælde være en barriere for, at bæredygtige tiltag kan implementeres i byen. Mulighederne for at overkomme disse barrierer er en god kommunikation, hvorved essentielle problematikker kan blive adresseret og afstemt. Bæredygtighed er som begreb meget elastisk, hvilket betyder at der kan forekomme konflikter i spændinger mellem de forskellige planlægsningsrationaler. Det kræves derfor, at man som planlægger er fleksibel og bevidst omkring den aktuelle udvikling og de ændringer, der måtte være, når bæredygtigt byggeri, biodiversitet eller solenergi skal planlægges i byen. This project examines how planning of sustainable building, biodiversity and solar energy is managed in danish cities. The project also seeks to identify barriers in context to the planning of a sustainable city. In doing so the project will present relevant solutions to the barriers identified. The project reaches to an understanding that the present market structures and regulations in the field of research heavily influence how sustainability is planned. These market structures and regulations can in some cases function as a barrier for the implementation of sustainable initiatives in the city. One of the options to overcome these barriers is clear communication from start to finish, where key challenges can be addressed and solutions can be discussed. The elasticity of sustainability as a concept means that conflicts often appear within the different planningrationals. It is therefore required that planners are flexible and conscious about the development and changes that are present within areas of sustainable building, biodiversity and solar energy, when one is trying to plan sustainable initiatives in the city.
