The green bond market has seen exponential growth since its boom in 2013 but literature on this topic is considered woefully inadequate. This research paper therefore seeks to compare the performance of European green bonds against its conventional counterparts. Analysis was conducted on two data samples spanning from the year 2013 to 2019 using the matching principle and an extended Fama-French m
This thesis is using the example of Abercrombie & Fitch’s handling of presentational change caused by a crisis in annual reports. The company was accused to discriminate employees and customers on grounds of distinction of human beings, their appearance and ethnic backgrounds. Fairclough’s approach of critical discourse analysis is used as a theoretical and methodological framework to uncover
The interest in Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has grown tremendously within the last decades. Due to the pressure from different stakeholders, this concept was introduced by multinational corporations (MNC) in China. Since the strong focus on economic growth has been determining the way of doing business, environmental and social concerns were not taken into account appropriately. Since MN
The primary purpose of this study was to establish an interaction effect between effortful control and neuroticism on problem‐solving coping. The secondary purpose was to examine the relationships between all three variables by establishing a correlation matrix. The sample consisted of 64 individuals, 18‐25 years old. The scores on the variables neuroticism and effortful control were used to creat
Abstract Saltmarshes are saline wetlands on intertidal shores and their anoxic sediments function as sinks for metals and other pollutants. Saltmarshes are listed as an endangered ecological community in Australia as a result of declines across their range, due to a number of factors including habitat destruction and pollutants. However, while saltmarshes have a high level of legislative protect
In order to manage the image of a city in a highly medialized world it is important that the key features of the brand is correlating with the overall media image. This paper exams the impact of Malmö Stads vision-report in the media portrayal of the city between 1997-2012. The aim is to describe, explain and problematize the media image of Malmö in the biggest swedish publications and compare tha
Uncovering customer insights (CI) is indispensable for contemporary marketing strategies. The widespread availability of user-generated content (UGC) presents a unique opportunity for firms to gain a nuanced understanding of their customers. However, the size and complexity of UGC datasets pose significant challenges for traditional market research methods, limiting their effectiveness in this con
Background Local pain on injection of propofol remains a considerable problem in clinical anaesthesiology. As slow infusion of a low dose of propofol induces little or no pain at the site of injection, and as propofol-induced pain fades during prolonged exposure, this randomized, double-blind, clinical cross-over study was designed to test whether pain on injection of propofol is attenuated by ini
Local political leaders as well as international organizations have embraced participatory budgeting in response to problems of political exclusion and citizens’ dissatisfaction with representative democracy. This article provides a framework to highlight important aspects of the politics of participation. The framework allows scholars to explore how factors external to spaces of participation intLocal political leaders as well as international organizations have embraced participatory budgeting in response to problems of political exclusion and citizens’ dissatisfaction with representative democracy.

Assessment of clinical risk factors for haemorrhagic complications in patients undergoing intra-arterial thrombolysis for lower limb ischaemia. Retrospective reviews of consecutive patients subjected to intra-arterial thrombolysis due to lower limb ischemia at the Vascular Center, Malmö University Hospital, during a 5-year period from 2001 to 2005. Two hundred and twenty intra-arterial thrombolyti
Artificial intelligence is breaking new grounds each year and one of the most promising and extensively researched area of study in the field is the artificial neural networks. In this project, artificial neural networks are designed to help medical staff in estimating at an early stage what risk a patient has of developing serious postoperative complications after having undergone an oesophageal
When coworkers express what they are genuinely thinking, it can have positive implications for an organization, but they do not always feel encouraged to do so. As internal social media (ISM) is an emerging platform within organizations, it can offer coworkers a space where they can express their voice. The purpose of this research is therefore to explore how coworkers communicate on internal soci
The ICTY and the ICTR were established in the 1990s to determine individual accountability for mass atrocities. The tribunals have had a great impact on the development of international criminal law, yet their effects in the concerned societies have been disputed. As the courts are located outside the territory in which the crimes took place, and are composed of international lawyers and personnel
Taking in to consideration the countless human rights violations and impunity in Africa, there is not a shred of doubt about the dire need for effective human rights protection mechanisms at continental level. This concern has mainly increased due to the Africa Commission’s poor track record of enforcement of human rights norms in the region. Hence, it is in the effort to cure the ills suffered by
This Master Thesis successfully explains the difference in probability of default implied by Credit Default Swaps, traded by the market, and the benchmark Moody’s EDFTM. The difference is explained by the market price of risk, related to the Girsanov kernel, allowing us to transform the risk neutral measure Q to the physical measure P. This market price of risk is modeled with a log-linear multiva
In this study I present a theoretical model based on Marx´s critique of political economy, specific readings of Marx´s work and the regulation approach. This model will be used to explain long waves and cycles in long term economic growth, creative destruction (i.e the relation between technological leaps and economic crisis) and the ways in which these processes correspond to institutional develo
AI-systemens snabba utveckling har på senare år fört teknologin till nya höjder. Framväxten av autonoma fordon och avancerade språkmodeller som ChatCPT har ställt diskussionen kring AI-systemens rättsliga problematik på sin spets. Bland annat har skadeståndsrättens reparativa syfte blivit svårare att uppnå till följd av att skador orsakade av AI-systemen komplicerar preciseringen av ansvarande paIn recent years, the rapid development of AI systems has elevated the technology to new heights. The emergence of autonomous vehicles and advanced language models like ChatCPT has brought the discussion around the legal issues of AI systems to the forefront. The primary aim of tort law is to compensate the injured parties and impose liability on the parties responsible. Due to the complex nature
Organic waste forms a big share of municipal solid waste, especially in developing countries. Its management is however faced with many challenges ranging from limited financial and technical capacity to lack of, or weak policy enforcement. This causes poor management of the waste leading to open dumping and disposal in un-engineered landfills. Such practices have adverse effects on both the envir
