Intrapreneurs are employees who use their entrepreneurial spirit for the benefit of their organizations. Insider threats are people who, through authorized acce

In the laboratory, minimum-effort coordination games routinely reach low levels for larger group sizes. Weber (2006 American Economic Review) showed that by simply starting with a small group and adding players that are exposed to the group’s history over time, one can “grow” larger groups with high effort levels. Adapting the concept of introspective equilibrium, I create a model to replicate the

Prenatal depression och ångest är vanligt förekommande och drabbar 12,8% respektive 10,4% av blivande mödrar. Förutom psykiskt lidande kan symtomen även ha negativ inverkan på det ofödda och senare födda barnet. Båda är dessutom starkt predicerande för postnatal depression (PND). Majoriteten av tidigare forskning har framför allt fokuserat på förekomst av depression respektive ångest var för sig oPrenatal depression and anxiety are common and affect 12.8% and 10.4% of expectant mothers, respectively. In addition to mental suffering, the symptoms can also have a negative impact on the unborn and later born child. Both are also strongly predictive of postnatal depression (PND). The majority of previous research has primarily focused on the occurrence of depression and anxiety separately and
