This thesis compares how Sweden and Finland’s contrasting exchange rate regimes shaped their export sector performance during the 2008 Global Financial Crisis. While both are small, open Nordic economies, Sweden maintained a floating currency and independent monetary policy, whereas Finland adopted the euro and ceded monetary control to the European Central Bank. The study evaluates export revenue
This thesis aims to fill a gap in the study of segmentation in advanced economies by exploring the multidimensional nature of segmentation, with a focus on migrants. It seeks to do so by studying the segmentation within institutions that constitutes the coordinated market economy of Sweden, utilising it as a national case to further understand change in advanced economies. This change is analysed
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 2015 refugee crisis saw millions of refugees arrive in Europe, eliciting mixed responses from receiving countries and, subsequently, the media. In Denmark, 2015 is widely regarded as a turning point in the way in which migration was presented in the media and discussed in political debates, going from a humanitarian to restrictive focus. The media has an essential role in distributing informat
This thesis explores whether the EU’s newly launched Citizens’ Engagement Platform (CEP) can enhance young people’s intention to participate in representative democracy and whether it reinforces or challenges the EU’s liberal demoi-cratic model. Workshops with Swedish upper secondary school students, developed and analyzed using Ajzen’s Theory of Planned Behavior, served as the empirical basis. Fi
Precision cut tumor slices (PCTS) are used as an ex vivo tissue model to study the tumor microenvironment (TME), immune interactions and treatment-induced effects.They allow researchers to analyze individual patient responses to therapies, making them valuable for personalized medicine. In this study, PCTS generated from five biopsy samples collected from patients with head and neck cancer or esop
Public procurement accounts for a substantial portion of public spending within the European Union (EU), yet it remains highly vulnerable to corruption. This thesis investigates to how EU procurement law—particularly Directive 2014/24/EU—can mitigate corruption risks in the internal market. It examines the legal mechanisms embedded in the Directive, such as mandatory exclusion, procedural transpar
This study examines how Onsen resources and geothermal resource are perceived and governed in Beppu City. Drawing on the concept of common-pool resources and its eight design principles studied by Elinor Ostrom, the research employs semi-structured interviews analyzed through a narrative-informed approach. As result, despite differences in the social and physical perceptions of Onsen and geotherma
Trust in healthcare varies across regions in Sweden. The aim of this thesis is to investigate whether performance shapes trust in regional healthcare. This study engages with literature on institutional trust and uses institutional theory as a theoretical framework to explain the variation in trust in healthcare. The operationalisation of healthcare quality is guided by WHO and European commission
Evaluative practices play an increasingly important role in the management of local government. More than ever, evaluations are seen as a means for stakeholders to garner objective information about the performance of public organizations in order to demand accountability. However, this understanding of evaluative judgments as objective is being challenged by constructivist scholars. They argue th
This thesis examines whether Directive (EU) 2019/2121 ('Mobility Directive') reduces legal fragmentation in the field of cross-border conversions. Using a doctrinal and comparative legal methodology, it analyses the EU framework governing cross-border conversions and compares its implementation in Germany and Denmark. The analysis focuses on three areas in which the Directive leaves Membe
PURPOSE: Voice problems in teachers have been extensively studied; however, the relationship between voice disorders and work ability has not been thoroughly explored. Existing studies have often used self-reporting and cross-sectional designs. This 16-year longitudinal cohort study aimed to explore the association between sick leave due to diagnosed functional voice disorders and work ability.MET
Urban heat island effects are intensifying in rapidly urbanizing coastal cities, yet the thermal implications of wetland transformation remain insufficiently understood. This study investigates the spatial and seasonal dynamics of Surface Urban Heat Island (SUHI) intensity in Kochi, India, with particular focus on reclaimed wetlands. An integrated framework combining Landsat-derived environmental
This thesis explores how performance artists with side jobs create and experience the value of work in relation to neoliberal capitalism, by exploring the continuation of life projects not in line with hegemonic values and conventional work-life boundaries. Through interviews with 8 key informants, and participant observation in work contexts and at a cultural hub for creatives, the study recognis
BACKGROUND: People with intellectual disabilities often have complex healthcare needs and may therefore experience different patterns of healthcare utilization. This study examined the overlap between the use of public and private healthcare providers as an indicator of access to choice-enabled healthcare providers within a patient-choice-based health system.METHODS: We assessed overlap in two com
Time-dependent diffusion MRI enables the estimation of water exchange rates in vivo. Most studies attribute these estimates to membrane permeability. However, non-permeative geometric exchange may also contribute. The present study investigates the contribution of geometric exchange between dendritic spines and shafts to diffusion MRI-derived exchange estimates. Monte Carlo simulations were perfor
