The growing demand for corporate transparency and sustainability has intensified the need for effective sustainability reporting, especially in industries like fashion, which face significant environmental and social challenges. This study examines how Patagonia, a leader in sustainable fashion, applies the Double Materiality (DM) framework in its social media communications, focusing on Instagram

This study investigates the financial effects of the European Union’s Non-Financial Reporting Directive (NFRD), with a particular focus on whether firms’ greenhouse gas emissions influence the financial impact of these regulations. While previous research has examined the impact of ESG disclosures on financial performance, no studies have investigated whether a firm’s environmental risk, as measur

The topic of Nord Stream 2 was a centrepiece of many discussions about reliance on Russia despite its dubious actions against Ukraine since 2014. The decision to construct the pipeline in 2015 and continue it despite many objections from both inside and outside of the European Union in the following years only fed the discourse. This thesis asks the following Research Question: To what extent can

Urban sustainability depends on both green infrastructure and safe, accessible cycling networks, yet these systems often come into conflict. Tree roots can disrupt paved cycle paths, causing surface deformation that compromises user comfort and safety while increasing maintenance demands. This thesis examines the drivers of root-related damage in cycle infrastructure, focusing on interactions betw

This thesis examines contemporary Danish public discourse on fertility and demography, where anxiety over declining fertility among women of Danish origin coexists with anxiety over immigrants and their descendants becoming a future demographic majority. The empirical material consists of documents from and adjacent to Danmarks Statistik (2019–2025) and news coverage from Politiken and Danmarks Ra

This study examines Turkish foreign policy toward Syria through the lens of historical materialism. Departing from mainstream analyses that treat economy and politics as separate spheres, it situates class dynamics at the core of foreign policy formation, arguing that Ankara's engagement is systematically driven by the imperative to convert conflict into economic opportunity for Turkish capita

Gout is a chronic disease that is caused by an innate immune response to deposited monosodium urate crystals in the setting of hyperuricemia. Here, we provide insights into the molecular mechanism of the poorly understood inflammatory component of gout from a genome-wide association study (GWAS) of 2.6 million people, including 120,295 people with prevalent gout. We detected 377 loci and 410 genet

Following Turkey’s 2018 currency crisis, the government introduced four key housing re-regulations which reduced mortgage interest rates, investment-based citizenship incentives, rent increase limitations, and monetary easing to stimulate economic recovery. This study examines how state-led financialization of housing disproportionately favours middle- and high-income groups while limiting access

This study examines how pornography is constructed in Swedish opinion media, focusing on how power, responsibility, and vulnerability are discursively distributed among gendered subjects. The study is grounded in Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) and draws on Michel Foucault’s theories of discourse and power, Judith Butler’s theory of vulnerability, and Kimberlé Crenshaw’s theory of intersectional

Over the past decade, Swedish primary care has seen a substantial increase in the establishment of private actors. As the sector changes in composition, it becomes relevant to examine the influence on the functioning of the system, as well as on patients’ experience and right to healthcare. This thesis examines the relationship between the entry of new private clinics and quality of the nearest pu

Despite relatively high levels of basic water service coverage and constitutional recognition of water as a human right, Ecuador continues to face major challenges in safely managed water, wastewater treatment, and gastrointestinal disease burden. This thesis examines whether improvements in municipal water governance are associated with reductions in gastrointestinal hospitalization rates across
