Hasselapedagogy mission in society, as a collective activity, is to help young people in LVU-care. Young people who are in need of help have shown abnormal behavior and thus become analyzed and sentenced for custodial care. The analysis and the establishment of the young people go after the rules for how a healthy life should look like. This means that there is an understanding in society about how we should live in order to fit into society. There is knowledge of normal and abnormal behavior in linguistic structures.

Vi har i denna undersökning försökt analysera sambandet mellan framtida vinst och utvalda signaler bland svenska börsbolag. Signaler som tidigare forskning har visat innehålla sådan information har använts; Dupontkomponenterna och förändring i lager, bruttomarginal och omsättning per anställd. Dupontkomponenterna gav ett signifikativt samband under åren 2002 till 2004, medans inget samband fanns för de följande tre åren. De övriga signalerna som byggde på förändring av lager, bruttomarginal och omsättning per anställd gav inget samband med följande års vinst för hela urvalet av företag för någon av perioderna. Ett samband uppstod efter att fastighetsföretag eller företag utan lager plockades bort från urvalet.

Syftet med studien var att undersöka om insynspersoner genererar en extra avkastning gentemot övriga placerare på den svenska aktiemarknaden. Eventstudiemetoden ligger till grund för vår kvantitativa angreppssätt. Vi har använt oss av marknadsmodellen för att mäta den abnormal avkastningens effekt av insynstransaktioner. Resultaten visar på många signifikanta resultat. Studien visar att det ofta förekommer abnormala avkastningar vid köptransaktioner på den svenska aktiemarkanden.

Ända sedan handeln med finansiella instrument utvecklades under början av 1900-talet har problematiken kring insiderhandel existerat. Denna problematik bottnar i att personer med ett informationsövertag, dvs. insiders kan enligt vissa tidigare utförda studier generera abnormala avkastningar vid exempelvis aktiehandel. Oenigheten på detta forskningsområde är relativt stort. Det skulle därför vara intressant att titta på möjligheterna till abnormal avkastning genom att replikera insiders köp- och sälj transaktioner på den svenska aktiemarknaden.Denna studies frågeställning formuleras således; Kan utomstående investerare generera abnormal avkastning genom att replikera insiders köp- respektive sälj transaktioner på Stockholmsbörsens Small Cap lista?För att svara på denna frågeställning genomfördes en kvantitativ studie innehållande 60 stycken bolag noterade på Stockholmsbörsens Small Cap lista.

Purpose: To examine how IR-related press releases affect share price for stock companies, and to explore how said companies practice Investor Relations.Methods: The study was conducted using an event study as well as e-interviews. The event study has a quantitative deductive research approach where the market model is used for calculating the abnormal return based on press releases. The e-interviews have a qualitative research approach and follow a semi structured interview guide. The study includes all listed stock companies within the Swedish construction industry and includes press releases from the last decade.Theory: The study is based on the efficient market hypothesis and its semi strong form, theories within Investor Relations and previous research.Results: The event study shows a significant negative abnormal return during a four day period starting the day after the press release event. The negative abnormal return could derive from investor relations being used by companies as damage control, or that the investors? expectations are too high as a result of IR.

This paper attempts to investigate the correlation of 12 month abnormal returns and the fundamental value of stocks in theSwedish stock market between the year 2000-2011. Also, the paper tries to apply and evaluate the concept of the margin ofsafety. In estimating the fundamental value we use the residual income valuation model and three different estimationapproaches of the beta coefficient in order to correct for financial and operational biases. We find that our different portfoliosearn abnormal returns. However, this could be explained by the size effect and P/B effect.

Zoo animals can be more or less disturbed by the presence of care takers as well as visitors. This may lead to stress and/or abnormal behaviour.

The horse is an animal that often becomes humanized. Despite domestication, the horse still has a need to interact with other horses, be able to move for the most of the day, and being able to graze. If these needs cannot be fulfilled, the horse can be negatively affected and develop abnormal behaviours. An example of abnormal behaviours is weaving; the horse performs a swinging motion in the front area of the body during a long time. This literature review aims to investigate how different stabling forms (box/stall) affect the incidence of weaving, and also how this behaviour can be prevented or limited.
