Sverige har sedan år 1990 haft en reglering mot insiderhandel. Innan dess var det den så kallade självregleringen, skapad av marknadens egna aktörer, som reglerade insiderbrottet. Lagen har dock utvecklats och omarbetats många gånger genom EU direktiv och förordningar fram till den idag gällande marknadsmissbrukslagen. Trots detta kritiseras regleringen för att vara ineffektiv och svår att tillämp

The trope solution to the problem of mental causation combines a trope monism, i.e. that properties are tropes and all tropes are physical, with a type dualism, i.e. that although all tropes are of a physical type, there are subsets of tropes that are also of a mental type. It does so in order to reconcile three individually plausible yet seemingly incompatible principles that together would ensur

Since there are no laws that controls how a societal risk analysis is to be made, or what acceptance criteria that should be used, people have different opinions regarding this. This contributes to non-homogenous risk management which in turn leads to a situation where the society’s safety isn’t the same in all of the country which the law says it should be. To get in terms with this problem there

Trots den senaste tidens snabba utveckling av Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) och användandet av riskhantering, kan vi se att få studier stödjer denna expansion. Forskarstöd är väsentligt för att motivera det stora antalet företag som väljer att implementera ERM. Flertalet studier går emot varandra om dess värdeskapande och inget enhetligt budskap kan utläsas. Målet med denna studie är att använd

På den antarktiska kontinenten finns värdefulla och i princip oexploaterade naturtillgångar. Dess geostrategiska betydelse och potentiella rikedomar gör Antarktis attraktivt för både forskare och företag. Storbritannien gjorde som första land suveräna anspråk på en del av Antarktis år 1908. Flera andra länder följde exemplet, vilket resulterade i ett ökat internationellt intresse för kontinenten.Antarctica is a continent full of natural resources, still almost untouched of the human hand. Geostrategic implications and potential economic wealth make the Continent relevant for researcher as well as profit-seeking industries. In 1908, United Kingdom made claims of a sector of Antarctica. After that, several countries followed, leading the eyes of the world to this remote place. To calm dow

Den allmänna hållningen för människor är att behålla status quo. Fenomenet att individer som trots det utmanar den rådande samhällsordningen tenderar att uppvisa mer attributionsbias genom att tillskriva mer negativa egenskaper till försvarare av status quo än vad försvarare tillskriver utmanare, kallas challenger bias. Studien undersökte generell ingruppsfavoritism och challenger bias i samband m
