Behavioural finance

“Behavioural finance may have a lot to say about how financial markets really operate and why much financial regulation is ineffective, but it is has very little to say about what regulators should do in the light of these insights.” Discuss

Discuss the differences between BIM and its associated outcomes

7. Scenario
You have been employed as a consultant on a building project. Your role is to advise the client on how they can increase the value of their development by the use of Building Information Modelling. You have been asked to submit a report detailing the different aspects of BIM and how it can help the company become more profitable in the future. The report must include the following:
Activity/ Task
1. Discuss what BIM in construction means incorporating local, national and global developments. Your report should include key terms used within the construction industry regarding BIM. Why is BIM so important to the construction industry? Critically Analyse its effect on the capitol phase and the operational phase.
2. Describe the basic concepts surrounding Building Information Modelling. Discuss key themes and explain the terms that support a project. Analyse ways in which BIM on a building project can be utilised. Create a BIM execution plan and critically analyse it regarding hoe BIM dimensions can influence various elements on a building project.
3. Discuss the differences between BIM and its associated outcomes and traditional forms of construction information showing how collaborative working can aid the BIM process. Analyse how a project outcome for the design team can be informed by BIM in comparison to a traditional method. Assess positive outcomes achieved by using BIM.
4. Assess ways in which the design and construction process of an asset influences the way it is managed and maintained, showing how the process can result in positive outcomes for the asset owner when compared to traditional methods. Include how information is created and managed through the various stages, analysing how this is done. Explain the different roles that are required for a BIM-enabled project, evaluating what is successfully required to deliver a BIM project.

‘The EU depends on Member States’

5. ‘The EU depends on Member States’ compliance for the fulfilment of its goals, for the implementation of its laws and, ultimately, for its existence.’ (Roland Bieber and Francesco Maiani, ‘Enhancing Centralized Enforcement of EU Law: Pandora’s Toolbox’ (2014) 51 Common Market L Rev 1057, 1058)
On the basis of the above quote, evaluate to what extent the enforcement proceedings under Articles 258-260 of the Treaty on the Funtioning of the European Union (TFEU) are effective for ensuring the adequate fulfilment of obligations under EU law.
With respect to locus standi of individuals in judicial review, has the post Lisbon Treaty case law improved their position?
The answer must ctitically examine the relevant case law.
3. Directive 333/2018 (fictitious) was enacted by the EU in January 2018. It concerned all businesses considered to be start-ups. Once they started making profits, the Directive required them to put 5% of their profits into a protected fund, so that there would be money to pay out to employees should the business go bankrupt. This Directive was introduced due to the risk that employees of start- ups often face of finding themselves without a job because the start-up has failed after only being in business a short time.
Greece has not transposed this Directive into national law, despite the deadline for implementation having passed after two years in January 2020. The Greek government believes that there are similar enough provisions in Greek law, and therefore there is no need to do anything else to transpose the Directive. The Greek law referred to by the government states that in order to mitigate the effects of early bankruptcy on employees of start-ups, there has to be a robust consultation with employees before it occurs. However, there is no specific requirement of creating a fund for pay-outs like under the Directive.
Marios is a Greek national living in Athens. He joined a start-up called Fast Taxis that provides national taxicab services. Unfortunately, due to the pressures on the environment and stiff competition from other more established taxicab services, Fast Taxis has quickly gone bankrupt. A month before Fast Taxis went bankrupt, it consulted with its employees about the possibility of this happening. However, now that it has gone bankrupt, Marios seeks the pay-out he thinks he deserves under Directive 333/2018.
Advise Marios of his rights under EU law.

Compare and contrast the management and assessment of patient

4. The Case. Use Paramedic Guidelines across AUSTRALIA especially New South Wales.
THE CASE:
You have been called to attend an 8-month-old female patient with breathing problems. It is 0300 in July (WINTER).
The case is 20 minutes from the ambulance station and 30 minutes to hospital. On arrival you find the front door open and locate your patient in her mother’s arms in the lounge room. They are sitting on a mattress on the floor. There is very little light and when you ask to turn the lights on the patient’s mother states there is only 1 light bulb and the others are not working.
The house is cold, there is no obvious heating. The patient’s mum notices you looking around and says she has been sleeping out here with her daughter because it is the warmest room.
The patient is quiet; she is looking at you but not responding to you in any other way.
The patient’s initial vital signs are:
• Flushed, warm, dry skin
• Heart rate: 120 BPM
• Respiratory Rate: 35/minute
• Bilateral inspiratory wheeze on auscultation
• Moist sounding cough
Using the above information, you are to write a case study essay covering the following:
1. Compare and contrast the management and assessment of this patient in relation to the following conditions: (refer to contemporary literature to analyse and critique at least three ambulance service clinical guidelines)
• Asthma
• Bronchiolitis
• Croup
2. Discuss the pathophysiology of asthma, bronchiolitis and croup
3. Review and discuss current pharmacological management of paediatric asthma, bronchiolitis and croup (out of hospital and in hospital)
