This study explores the integration of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) frameworks within public hospitals in Ghana, focusing on the institutional pressures influencing ESG adoption and their impact on healthcare professionals’ daily operations.

Founded in 1952, the European Parliament has progressed through transformational constitutional processes into the primary bearer of democracy within the European Union as its only directly elected institution. As several studies have reported on legislative behavior in previous European Parliament terms, this thesis aims to capture the effects of electoral systems, parliamentary groups’ ideologic
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 examines how offensive realism can explain China’s violations of international law in the South China Sea (SCS). Drawing on John Mearsheimer’s five bedrock assumptions: anarchy, offensive capability, uncertainty of intentions, survival as a primary goal, and rationality, the study uses the congruence method within a qualitative case study framework. It assesses whether China’s violatio
Funktionella somatiska tillstånd (FSD) är vanliga och funktionsnedsättande tillstånd som ofta lämnar patienter fångade mellan otillräckliga medicinska förklaringar och begränsade psykologiska behandlingsalternativ. Internetbaserad emotional awareness and expression therapy (I-EAET) är en lovande intervention för FSD. Få studier har dock undersökt den subjektiva upplevelsen av att genomgå I-EAET – Functional somatic disorders (FSD) are common, debilitating conditions that often leave patients caught between insufficient medical explanations and limited psychological treatment options. Internet-based emotional awareness and expression therapy (I-EAET) is a promising intervention for FSD. However, few studies have examined the subjective experience of undergoing I-EAET—particularly among thos
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
In this paper, we examine 1437 merger and acquisition (M&A) events that took place between 2015 and 2019 in China, comparing the short-term stock return performance of domestic and cross-border M&A. After that, we further compare the long-term market performance of domestic versus cross-border M&A transactions and investigate the impact of firm-specific and market-related factors on on
This study analyzes the implications of nature-based solutions (NBS) for women in the Gambia, in flood prone communities in the context of the Rural Integrated Climate Adaptation and Resilience (RICAR) project. Employing a mixed-methods approach, including surveys and focus group discussions, the thesis investigates gendered differences with the guiding research question “How do nature-based solut
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 the correlation between green transitions and green gentrification, using the case study of the Western Harbour in Malmö, Skåne. More specifically, through the lens of the Right to the City and Environmental Justice, this thesis looks into the accessibility to green spaces in the Western Harbour for different socio-economic groups. Expert interviews, qualitative surveys with r
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
The impoundment of hydroelectric reservoirs is associated with significant emissions of green house gases. In addition, the loss of the pre-flooded landscape is a substantial factor in the long-term carbon footprint of hydroelectric reservoirs. The Paix-des-Braves reservoir in Québec was one of the first reservoirs to be studied in regards of its total carbon footprint, combining pre- and post-imp
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 analyzes how Denmark and Sweden frame and respond to men’s violence against women in national action plans from 2020–2025. The study is significant because Denmark and Sweden are internationally recognized as highly gender-equal societies while simultaneously experiencing persistent levels of gender-based violence, a phenomenon known as the Nordic Paradox. Using Feminist Security Studi
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
