I Sverige infördes lagstiftning i syfte att motverka insiderhandel i början av 1970-talet. Rättsområdet har därefter varit föremål för omfattande reformer. Den senaste reformen vidtogs med anledning av en ny EU-förordning och ett nytt EU-direktiv. Insiderlagstiftningen har kritiserats för att den har innehållit vaga rekvisit, medfört bevissvårigheter och för att den inte har varit tillräckligt effTo counteract insider trading, legislation was introduced in Sweden in the early 1970s. Ever since, the legal field has been subject to extensive reforms. The latest reform took place following a new EU regulation and a new EU directive.

This paper investigates whether the shape of a probability distribution of a given problem has any predictable effect on the shape of the distribution of people's associated irrational choices. Focus is especially on the skewness of distributions. Based on previous research in psychology and behavioral economics, a theory of the causes of skewness of choice distributions is presented. Hypothes

The world wide shortage of helium-3 is forcing the development of new detectors for neutron spectroscopy. A candidate for new detector design that consists of multiple detection volumes in depth, in contrast to the traditional single volume helium-3 detector, is being developed at ESS in Lund. One advantage of the new design is the possibility of utilising the additional depth dimension to extract
