The labor market integration of immigrants in general, and female migrants in particular, remains a central developmental objective for counteracting inequalities within societies across Europe. Previous studies put forth the concept of social capital, the resources linked to an individual's network of social connections, to explain immigrants’ diverging labor market trajectories. Policy-maker

This study examines the relationship between environmental, social and governance performance and corporate credit risk, adding to the literature which investigates ESG in the context of risk management. Using a novel proprietary ESG methodology by Danske Bank Asset Management and credit default swaps as a measure for credit risk, a combination of pooled OLS and panel fixed-effects approach is app

Benin, an impoverished nation in West Africa, has been consistently ranked as one of Africa’s best democracies. While countries in the region have seen major democratic backlashes, this study seeks to explain how it is that Benin’s democracy has survived since 1991. This thesis operationalises a theoretical framework of democratic consoli- dation based on three approaches — structures, attitudes

The thesis represents an instrumental case study exploring the planning and development process of the Norra Sorgenfri neighbourhood in Malmö, Sweden in relation to its envisioned and attested spatial and social inclusivity. The thesis aims to trace the existing dynamics of a growth-equity conflict in the planning and development process of Norra Sorgenfri in relation to the Sustainable Developmen

To analyse the behaviour of English loanwords in the Japanese language using corpus analysis is a relatively new field of research. The aim of this thesis is to add to this emergent field by attempting to discover if there are any differences in how English loanword nouns and their native Japanese/Sino-Japanese near synonym pairs are used in contemporary written Japanese. The thesis also tries to

This thesis aims to investigate if there is a correlation between Donald Trump’s political beliefs and his foreign policy behaviour towards North Korea during 2016-2019. By applying the theoretical framework Operational Code redesigned by Alexander George, Trump’s political beliefs are visible through ten questions. These political beliefs which are divided into philosophical and instrumental beli

As the demand for meat grows, meat analogs have been positioned as a way for consumers to switch their dietary protein sources to help reduce their global climate impact. Today, several meat analogs on the market can compete with traditional meat products in total impression, despite being made of various plant proteins. However, challenges to mimic mouthfeel and texture surrounding meat analogs c

The purpose of this thesis is to analyse the audit regulatory space with regard to fraud and discuss the elements of the expectation gap as constructed by the IAASB and its stakeholders. The research question is addressed by a qualitative approach, using Political Discourse Analysis, the concept of regulatory space and an analytical framework designed by the authors. The analysis of the constructi

In the mid 2010’s, a loosely defined online collective of involuntary celibates came to the forefront of media discourse, after a high profile terrorist attack was perpetrated by a self-identified “incel”. While infamous for their extremely misogynistic views, incel forums have nonetheless remained a sparsely researched area. This paper aims to elucidate the way incels feel towards society and the

We explore what factors are relevant in creating and fostering a creative, innovative and entrepreneurial internal environment in established organizations, through the perception of those who manage them. Towards this end we conduct semi-structured interviews to perform qualitative case studies, in three companies, drawing on the knowledge and insight from 12 managers. We take an inductive, explo

The aim of the project was to explore and describe the views of physiotherapy students concerning sexual health as a part of physiotherapy education, and to enable them in their future profession as physiotherapists to be able to discuss sexual health matters with patients in an informed, sensitive and relaxed way. A qualitative interview study with data collection through focus group interviews w

There is no unified view as to what partnering relationships are in the construction industry. The purpose of this paper is to examine the literature in order to identify the main assumptions about partnering relationships in construction research and practice. The literature is compared to the Construction Industry Institute's (CII, 1991) frequently cited definition of partnering as a long-term c

Spectroscopic Photoemission and Low Energy Electron Microscopy (SPELEEM) is a very powerful and diverse microscopy technique for the investigation of surfaces, interfaces, buried layers and nanoscale objects like nanoparticles and nanowires. The many significant results from photoemission Electron microscopy (PEEM) in recent years are linked with the exploitation of advanced light sources such as

Scatterhoarding birds that cache food items have become an important model system for the study of spatial memory and its correlates in the brain. In particular, it has been suggested that through adaptive specialization, species that cache food have better spatial memory and a relatively larger hippocampus than their non-caching relatives. Critics of this approach, dubbed neuroecology, maintain t

Photoreceptor cell death is the major hallmark of a group of human inherited retinal degenerations commonly referred to as retinitis pigmentosa (RP). Although the causative genetic mutations are often known, the mechanisms leading to photoreceptor degeneration remain poorly defined. Previous research work has focused on apoptosis, but recent evidence suggests that photoreceptor cell death may resu
