The Swedish pharmacy market will be re-regulated in July 2009 which will present private actors with an opportunity to enter the market. Several risks and uncertainties are associated with such an entry. The purpose of this thesis is to increase the understanding of identification and management of risks and uncertainties associated with entering the Swedish pharmacy market. We also intend to investigate similarities and differences in risk identification and risk management as well as create an understanding of the underlying reasons for these similarities and differences. Three companies interested in entering the market have been interviewed and the interviews were conducted with an open approach to avoid influencing the companies? answers.

: Syftet med denna uppsats är att beskriva hur korruptionen i Vietnam påverkar företagsverksamheten ur företagens och organisationernas perspektiv. Vidare är syftet att redogöra för vad företagen och organisationerna anser att Vietnams medlemskap i WTO kan bidra med för att minska korruptionsrisken. Vi ser att påverkan av korruptionen på företagsverksamheten uppfattas av samtliga företag och organisationer som negativ. WTO och dess medlemskap bedöms kunna påverka genom ökad transparens, öppenhet och tydligare spelregler. WTO och dess medlemskap skulle utöver dagens inflytande också genom att bli berättigade till sanktioner mot landet, kunna minska korruptionen.

Background: The strategic importance of purchasing departments is increasing, yet supply risks are rather uncharted. The procurement of coffee involves supply risks and the purchaser needs to be able to handle these to enable the roasting-house to produce coffee as specified.

The thesis also examines if general risk management theories are applicable on the supply risk present within Swedish roasting-houses and can become an integral partof the purchasing process. Method: A qualitative case study of the purchasing process of Swedish roasting- houses.

Bakgrund: Alla företag utsätts för risk i någon grad. Ett exempel är flygbranschen, vars intäkter kan minska betydligt om kunderna inte längre vill besöka ett resemål pga. att det skett något obehagligt i området. Om företag, i sina årsredovisningar, inte informerar om vilka risker de utsätts för, blir investerarnas prognoser av framtida kassaflöden osäkra. Investerarna kommer då att kräva en högre riskpremie, vilket förstås är negativt för företaget.

This thesis investigates the underlying factors behind sexual risk-taking and non-risk-taking behavior with regard to Sexual Reproductive Health (SRH) among adolescents in Lusaka, Zambia. The Qualitative Approach was used for data collection and analysis and using the theory of Social Construction, the author explains how different contexts and aspects in the Zambian Society, that is Traditional, Socio-economic, Political, etc., influence the sexuality or sexual behavior of young people in Zambia. Hermeneutics was used to interpret the meanings in the texts/transcripts acquired through data collection and from the author?s knowledge and understanding of the Zambian historical and cultural contexts within which the participants of the research were constructed. Max Weber?s Ideal Type concept was also used to explain that each young individual?s sexual behavior is uniquely constructed by societal aspects.

Stress and time pressure is more present in todays labor markets. In financial markets a securities broker is forced to take decisions on investments under high cognitive load and under extreme time pressure. The research of decision under risk gained new ground with the development of the prospect theory and gave us new insights to the decision making of men. Prospect theory has shown that people are risk seekers when dealing with loss decisions and risk avert when dealing with profit decisions. The value function are defined over gains and losses.

Uppsatsen behandlar en besvärlig politisk debatt mellan Gudrun Schyman och Jimmie Åkesson som hölls strax innan riksdagsvalet 2014 i SVT:s Aktuellt. De respektive debattörerna uppfattades som mycket hetska i sin argumentation och debatten mottogs som bråkig och präglad av angrepp. Uppsatsen syftar till att ta reda på vad som gick fel i debatten, vad det är som gör att den upplevs som just bråkig. Med hjälp av pragmadialektisk fallasianalys utrönas argumentationens svagheter som i sin tur ger ett svar på frågeställningen. Det tungsta resultatet av undersökningen visar att Åkesson bryter mot relevansregeln och ståndpunktregeln, vilket betyder att han avleder uppmärksamheten från ämnet samt förvränger Schymans ståndpunkt i debatten.
