Risk analysis in connection with transportation of dangerous goods is associated with great uncertainty. In addition there are a number of specific problems that the Risk analyst faces when Risks associated with transportation of dangerous goods are to be analysed. In this report those problems and uncertainties are described.One of the most important conclusions in this report is that uncertainty analysis within Risk analysis in connection to transportation of dangerous goods has to be made more effective..

Many organizations today work in projects, a method of organizing work to provide a clearer focus on goals and more control of every aspect of the assignment. A project is, simply put, a plan to achieve a specific result. In turn, project management means to use various tools and methods to facilitate and streamline the effort towards achieving the goal with the project.Risk management is the activity that refers to finding, identifying and quantify different types of Risks and take appropriate action towards reducing or eliminating these Risks to the extent possible. With increased use of projects as a method of working the demands for managing Risks better become stronger. The question that this thesis tried to answer was: ?What kind of Risks does the IT industry think are linked to their projects and in what way does these companies manage these Risks??Among the project leaders interviewed, the authors could see a great variation in lines of thought and values regarding the importance of Risk management and how Risk management should be handled.

The aim of this study is to examine whether the two factors SMB and HML in the Fama-French Three Factor Model proxy for default Risk. The study is based on companies noted on the Stockholm Stock Exchange between 2003 and 2008. These companies are used to create the factors SMB and HML, as well as a default Risk factor we call RMS. In a first set of regressions, we examine the explanatory power of the original Fama-French model on a set of portfolios consisting of Swedish companies of different size and book-to-market ratio. The default Risk factor RMS is then added to the original Fama-French model.

Syfte: Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka om en högre Risk ger en fondsparare i PPM högre avkastning vid ett långsiktigt fondsparande och om den avkastningen speglar den Risk spararen tar.Metod: En kvantitativ studie som är baserad på sekundärdata, som är inhämtad från Morningstar. 60 pensionsfonder analyseras från tre olika Riskkategorier, med en mätperiod på 10 år. Frågeställningarna har besvarats med hjälp av relevanta teorier, hypotesprövning och korrelationsanalys.Slutsats: Efter att ha undersökt dessa PPM-fonder så kan man väl konstatera att en högre Risk ger en högre avkastning. Däremot speglar inte avkastningen ökningen i Risk, förvisso har högRiskfonderna bäst sharpkvot men lågRisk fonderna har bättre än medelRiskfonderna, vilket betyder att vi inte kan säga att avkastningen i förhållande till Risken blir lika bra eller bättre för att du ökar ditt Risktagande..

There are different types of Risk, examples include credit Risk, liquidity Risk and financial Risk. In DeMarzo & Berk (2011, s. 293) is a study presented which is based on the yield of different types of financial assets between 1925 and 2009, the study show that a high Risk gave substantially higher reward. With the study as a background, it is interesting to study practical Risk management within participants of the financial markets of Sweden. In Risk management there are several theories about whether Risk can be calculated and analyzed with scientific methods in practice.

This report is a Risk- and vulnerability analysis of how the commercial ship and its goods can be a threat to the environement and to human health in case of a discharge. It present the most common dangerous goods that are transported with ship through Kattegat in the Baltic Sea..

This master thesis is developed based on the desire of the water and sewage department in the municipality of Karlskrona. The department, which vouches for the quality of produced drinking water and sewage cleaning, was in need of help dealing with Risk analysis.The water and sewage department is obliged to identify and assess Risks according to Swedish legislation. However, no guides for this purpose regarding safety, health, environment and quality were available. The aim of this report was to accomplish a guideline for the performance of Risk analysis within water and sewage plants. If the guideline is used, the requirements in the legislation will be obtained.

The purpose of this study was to review a group of youths in a municipality which all had committed criminal acts. The study is based on 66 youths between the ages of 13 and 20 that were all matters for the social services. The social inquiries of the youths where reviewed using a quantitative method. Their backgrounds where examined to identify what type of Risk factors they had and what type of crimes they had committed with an aim to detect if there were a relationship between the Risk factors and the art of the crime. The result of the study showed that the majority had committed crimes against another person and the Risk factors included family related factors and school problems.

A major issue that has been a subject for quite some time is whether there will be a scarcity of metals in the bedrock in the future and whether or not we might end up with a problem similar to that of the big oil crisis in the mid-seventies. Following the oil crisis many oil companies started up with Risk management to control future Risks. This work presents how Swedish mining companies work with Risk management to handle Risks that might come up in the future due to metal scarceness. How Swedish mining companies look at the possible metal scarceness and if they use Risk management in their decision-making process is studied. By doing interviews with Swedish owned mining companies it was found that the mining companies did not see the future metal scarcity as a Risk, even though 2/3 of the companies acknowledged the scarceness to be a reality.

During the past year it has been made possible to buy back a company?s outstanding stock. This is done in order to change the capital structure towards a situation with less equity. A change in capital structure means a change in the cost of capital for a company and by that a change in the value for the stockholder. This Master Thesis studies the relation between capital structure and business Risk.

This report contains a Risk analysis of transportation of dangerous goods in Kalmar. The analysis is based on quantitative data and an evaluation of the Risks based on both the probability of occurring accidents as well as the consequences of those. The Risks are presented as both individual and societal Risks..

Fastighetsbranschen är en kapitalintensiv bransch baserad på fastighetsinvesteringar med varierande karaktärer. Vid fastighetsinvesteringar är det viktigt för fastighetsbolagen att veta vilken operationell Risk som föreligger för att, utifrån ett finansiellt perspektiv, skapa sunda fastighetsinnehav. Denna studie har därför som syfte att kartlägga de 15 börsnoterade svenska fastighetsbolagens operationella Risker, baserat på fastighetsbestånd, i förhållande till bolagens kapitalstruktur och finansiella Risk. Studiens slutsats blev att det inte finns något tydligt samband mellan fastighetsbolagens operationella Risk och såväl deras kapitalstruktur som deras finansiella Risk. Till sist konstaterades att de svenska fastighetsbolagens operationella Risk har närmat sig varandra delvis beroende på att fastighetsklassernas totalavkastning är starkt korrelerade..

Abstract. Risk assessment for future violence is an important part of today's forensic psychiatry, and including dynamic Risk factors in Risk assessment is important because it has been shown that Risk can change over time. However, previous research has suggested that perpetrators of homicide are different than perpetrators of other violent crimes. The aim of this study was to describe and analyze Risk assessments of future violence for forensic psychiatric patients convicted for homicide (n = 45) and forensic psychiatric patients convicted for assault (n = 91). To do this, differences within the groups and between the groups were analyzed.

Some children develop externalizing and internalizing behavior problems at an early age. Previous research has often treated these children as a homogeneous group, the purpose of this study is to show that this group of children is in fact heterogeneous. Data from theSOFIAstudy was used and preschool pedagogues were informants. The sample contained 2121 boys and girls between 3-5 years. Groups of children with the behavior problems and the Risk factors AD/HD symptoms, fearlessness and callous-unemotional traits were created.
