This thesis investigates a new trend in political communication, self-controlled digital media platforms, and how they can be categorized in relation to digital media outlets. The analysis is carried out in a Danish setting in the age of the hybrid media system, where several political parties either produce their own podcasts or are associated with online news platforms. Comparing content from

Understanding hope and its motivational generative force in the face of climate change is an imperative, especially in the contemporary context of climate anxiety, doom-and-gloom communication, and spread of hopelessness among the younger generations. Concomitantly, academic research has bloomed this last decade when it comes to demonstrating the potential of hope to draw on negative emotions to n

With the ever increased focus on sustainability and not least the focus on sustainability in the tourism industry this thesis has critically investigated the suitability of the Tourism Carrying Capacity method in a Danish outdoor-tourism context. The research found that there are considerable limitations and challenges to implementing a TCC approach in Denmark, and even if implemented, legally, cu

We investigated CDS-bond basis trading strategies during five different events, which possibly have caused market uncertainty on the European market. Those events include the peak of the Greek debt crisis (2015), Brexit announcement (2016), French presidential elections (2017), Tariffs on European Union (2018) and COVID-19 crisis (2020). Further, using the companies from two different iTraxx indic

Using data from OMXS30, we study which of the models block maxima and peaks-over-threshold, based on extreme value theory, are the most accurate when estimating the risk measures Value-at-Risk and Expected Shortfall. To perform this analysis, the risk measures are backtested. The extreme observations are fitted to the generalized extreme value distribution and the generalized Pareto distribution u

The purpose of this thesis is to critically analyse women’s understanding of gender stereotypes and their perception of their career opportunities and organizational measures for gender equality at a consultancy, with the aim of the resulting in-depth insights contributing to organizations’ approach to enhance gender equality at top management levels. We found that there is a discrepancy of expli

Denna studie presenterar en detaljerad undersökning av utvecklingen av sedimentära landformer under en ablationssäsong vid Blåisen, en del av Hardangerjøkulen, Norge. Två besök vid Blåisen, i början och i slutet av ablationssäsongen, gjorde det möjligt att studera hur landformerna bevaras och utvecklas. Det pågår mycket forskning om glaciala landformer som är en nyckel till förståelse av hur tidigThis study presents a detailed investigation into the evolution of sedimentary landforms over an ablation season at Blåisen, an outlet of the Hardangerjøkulen Icecap, Norway. The two visits to Blåisen, one each side of the ablation season, allowed the preservation and evolution of the landforms to be studied. Much research is conducted studying glacial landforms, which are key in our understanding

Den här rapporten siktar till att förklara hur och varför organisationer väljer att implementera eller inte implementera RPA inom HR samt hur påverkan upplevs i det dagliga HR-arbetet. Rapporten genomfördes genom intervjuer med tre olika HR-chefer och två HR-konsulter på globala/nationella organisationer. Totalt bedrevs fem semistrukturerade intervjuer. HR-chefernas funktion var interna beslutsfatThis paper aims to explain how and why organizations choose to implement or not implement RPA within HR and how it affects the daily work of the HR department. The paper was conducted through interviewing three kinds of HR-managers and two HR-consultants at global/national business organizations. In total five semi-structured interviews were held. The HR-manager's functions were internal decis

The Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union has been a legally binding act for ten years. However, ever since entering into the force, it has not been quite clear when the Charter in fact is applicable. During the past years, the EU has been faced by the Rule of law crisis, as called in the academic debate. This thesis aims to clarify when the Charter is applicable and examine whether

Hallen på taket är en undersökning av en del av ett kvarter i centrala Landskrona. Platsens såväl som stadens förutsättningar diskuteras utifrån ett arkitektoniskt och socialt perspektiv. Ramen är idrottens tillgänglighet och den centrala stadens identitet. Arbetet utmynnar i en sportanläggning som fyller ut mellanrummet mellan två byggnader samtidigt som den etablerar en urban genväg genom kvar

Transpersoner tillhör en marginaliserad grupp som ofta tvingas möta olika typer av diskriminering i samhället. Tidigare forskning visar att förtroendet till samhället är lågt i denna grupp, samt att erfarenheter av bemötande från personal i vården till stor del är av negativ karaktär. Därför ämnade denna studie att undersöka hur unga transpersoner beskriver sina erfarenheter av samt förtroende tilTransgender people are part of a marginalized group that often face discrimination in society. Previous research shows that levels of trust towards society are low in this group, and that experiences of meeting health care professionals are often perceived as negative. This study, therefore, aimed to examine how transgender youth describe their experiences of, and trust towards, transgender health

In recent years, the interest for Sustainable Finance has substantially increased as a result of the investor’s awareness around climate change risks, and the transition to a low-carbon economy. In this thesis, we conduct an empirical analysis to investigate how incorporating environmental criteria in equity investment affects the portfolios' risk and return. The sustainability performance is

The purpose of this thesis is to investigate the impact of exchange rate volatility on aggregate foreign trade. We use annual data from 15 Asian countries over 30 years. The exchange rate volatility is derived primarily based on GARCH models and MASD. This thesis applies both the static fixed-effect panel data model and dynamic GMM model, then compares the obtained results and uses the OLS method

Increasing CO₂ emission is considered as the main reason for global warming in the world. One of the reasons for producing CO₂ is using of fossil-based materials in the construction projects. This study intends to assess the using bio-based materials instead of fossil-based materials for the thermal insulation layer of the external walls and roofs. Another focus of this project is using green conc

Denmark and Sweden, as the rest of Europe, face a dilemma of whether to repatriate their citizens who travelled to the so-called Islamic State, from the wretched refugee camps in Syria and Iraq after its fall, and how to deal with those already returned. This thesis examines the two countries’ policy-approaches and discourses to the issue of foreign fighters (FF’s) through a comparative case study

In this thesis the intraday seasonality in the EUR/SEK spot returns are investigated after the returns have been filtered from intraday volatility. This is done with five-minute returns from year 2007 to 2019. The returns are filtered using the Flexible Fourier Form regression and then intraday seasonality is tested using an ARMAX-GARCH model. The results reveal no significant intraday seasonality

Målet med denna uppsats är att bidra med en koncis introduktion till ämnet Galoisteori som kulminerar i ett bevis för olösbarheten av den generella femtegradsekvationen med radikala uttryck. Vidare används den kroppteori som behandlats till att kortfattat diskutera geometriska konstruktioner, där omöjligheten av kubens fördubbling, vinkelns tredelning och cirkelns kvadratur bevisas. Innehållet ochGalois theory unites field theory and group theory to solve some field theoretical problems. The aim of this thesis is to provide a concise introduction to the topic, culminating in the proof of the insolubility of the general quintic equation by radicals. Using the developed field theory, a short discussion about geometric constructions is included, in which the impossibility of duplicating the c
