Hedersrelaterat våld och förtryck blev känt i Sverige under 1990-talet, då de första uppmärksammade hedersmorden begicks i landet.

Hur psykiskt störda lagöverträdare ska behandlas inom rättssystemet är en fråga som ständigt diskuteras. Denna grupp har sedan lång tid tillbaka särbehandlats inom straffrätten. Problematiken kring dessa lagöverträdare är väldigt komplex och några enkla lösningar går troligen inte att finna. Området präglas av motstående intressen, där humanitet och samhällsskydd är två av de mest centrala. UnderHow mentally disordered offenders should be treated in the justice system is an issue constantly under discussion. This group has for a long time been treated differently in criminal law. The questions of these offenders are very complex and no easy solutions are likely to find. This area is characterized by conflicting interests, where humanity and public protection are two of the most central.

In many parts of the world regional economic integration has experienced a revival since the yearly 1990s. That is the reason that the African continent has been drawn and involved itself into this process.

In the globalised world there is a keen competition market prevailing, which request higher demands on the entrepreneurs within the building sector. Research shows that 30-35 % of the production costs on the building sites is waste, which means non-profit value for the costumer. This example shows both hidden and visible costs, which has been identified on building constructions sites. To reduce t

The properties of fermion masses are investigated from different poits of view, both within the Standard Model and in extensions of the model. It is shown how mass matrix invariants are used to define the measurables of the quark mixing matrix as invariant functions of the mass matrices. One model is presented where the family pattern is s
