Syfte: Studien undersöker om ett faktiskt aktieåterköp påverkar en akties likviditet samt om storleken på aktieåterköpet kan ha en betydelse för likviditeten. Metod: För att besvara syftet utformas tre hypoteser som besvaras genom en kvantitativ undersökning via regressionsanalys. Teoretiska perspektiv: Studien har en deduktiv ansats som tar utgångspunkt i tidigare utarbetade teorier på områdetPurpose: This study evaluates whether actual share repurchases affect a stock's liquidity in the short run. In addition the study also tests if the size of the share repurchase is an element that affects the stock liquidity. Methodology: To test the purpose of the thesis, three hypotheses are designed which are tested in a quantitative research through regression analyses. Theoretical Persp

Objectives. To investigate the caries risk profiles in young adults and to compare the risk classification using the Public Dental Service (PDS) guidelines with a risk assessment program, the Cariogram. Materials and methods. All 19-year-old patients registered at eight public dental clinics were invited to participate (n = 1699). The study group who completed the baseline examination consisted of

Reforestation of ex-arable land in temperate regions increases the area of potential habitat for forest plants. However, the herbaceous plant layer of these plantations contains fewer forest species than comparable plantations at continuously forested sites. One of the reasons for this might be differences in recruitment. The present study addresses post-dispersal seed predation, mainly of woody p

Safety performance functions are frequently used to describe the relation of various factors to the number of accidents, often focusing on exposure of vulnerable road users. Those studies require reliable data regarding exposure, but collecting such data is resource demanding, often resulting in short observational periods. This might produce measurement errors, influencing the reliability of the

By catalyzing hydrolysis of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) and cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP), cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterases are critical regulators of their intracellular concentrations and their biological effects. As these intracellular second messengers control many cellular homeostatic processes, dysregulation of their signals and signaling pathways initiate or modulate p

Background: The aim of this study was to explore if a course consisting of lectures combined with simulator training in coronary angiography (CA) could accelerate the early learning curve when performing CA on patients. Knowledge in performing CA is included in the curriculum for the general cardiologist. The method, according to American College of Cardiology and European Society of Cardiology gu

Background: Uveal melanoma is the most common primary intraocular malignancy in adults. Despite successful control of the primary tumor, metastatic disease will ultimately develop in approximately 50% of patients, with the liver being the most common site for metastases. The median survival for patients with liver metastases is between 6 and 12 months, and no treatment has in randomized trials eve

Credit scoring, the process of evaluating loan applicants with the help of numerical methods, is widely used in the financial sector. When used correctly, it can aid the decision process and lower default rates on loans. New EU regulation has allowed third-party actors to access personal banking information, following the applicant's consent. The increase in available information that financia

Det förekommer kommersiella standardavtal och konsumentstandardavtal. Införlivandet av standardvillkor saknar lagstiftning i både hänseenden. Högsta domstolens avgöranden är därför den primära rättskällan för utvecklingen. Konsumentavtal omfattas däremot av tvingande lagstiftning som har till syfte att skydda konsumenter från oskäliga avtalsvillkor. Standardavtalsrätten är central utgångspunkt förThere are commercial standard contracts and consumer standard agreements. The incorporation of standard terms lacks legislation in both respects. The ruling of the Supreme Court is therefore the primary source of law for development. Consumer contracts, on the other hand, are covered by mandatory legislation whose purpose is to protect consumers from unfair contract terms. The standard contract la

Ska vi byta grejer med varann? Varför delar unga vuxna saker med andra istället för att köpa själva? Jo, det är praktiskt, ekonomiskt och ett steg på vägen mot en bättre värld! Att dela, byta och låna saker såsom böcker, cyklar och verktyg upplevs ha relativt hög miljömässig potential, kunna skapa social sammanhållning och leda till nya sätt att se på konsumtion och privat ägarskap. När unga vuCollaborative consumption – i.e. sharing, renting, trading and swapping things instead of owning them – has in previous years emerged as an alternative consumption mode, assumed by many to be less resource demanding and more sustainable than current consumption patterns. It is suggested that younger adults have more positive attitudes towards collaborative consumption than older age cohorts. Howev

Standardavtalet AB 04 utgör sannolikt avtalsinnehåll i de flesta kommersiella entreprenadavtalen i Sverige. Enligt villkoren i AB 04 kan priset för en utförd entreprenad bestämmas enligt den så kallade självkostnadsprincipen. Enligt självkostnadsprincipen har en entreprenör rätt till ersättning för de kostnader denne har haft för utförandet av ett arbete. Det övergripande syftet med denna uppsats

Omsättningen på den svenska fastighetsmarknaden för småhus står varje år för betydande ekonomiska värden. Köpet av en fastighet är för många människor en stor affär och vissa fall den största investeringen man gör i livet. När de förväntningar som en köpare har på den förvärvade fastigheten inte infrias finns det en risk att det mynnar ut i en tvist med säljaren. Varje överlåtelse innebär att ansv

As the boundaries between different communication disciplines blur, PR experts are forced to operate in increasingly competitive business environments. They are pressured to prove the usefulness of their activities in measurable terms. Evaluation techniques are key to this challenge as they have the potential to win over organisational decision makers and to help steer communication programmes ef

Second-hand retailing has seen a considerable upswing in recent years. Customers rethink their attitude towards a more mindful way of consuming which makes second-hand shopping increasingly popular. This research study took the Stimulus-Organism-Response framework as a foundation leading to its first-time application in second-hand retailing. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationsh
