We have studied the main features and the phenomenological consistency of a family-nonuniversal Three Higgs Doublet Model (3HDM) with a softly broken U(1)xZ2 family symmetry that enforces the flavour hierarchies in the Standard Model (SM) while implementing a tree-level Flavour Changing Neutral Current (FCNC) suppression in a Branco-Grimus-Lavoura way. Furthermore, the alignment limit is imposed i

En gemensam definition av vad som anses vara direkt deltagande i strid existerar inte i tillämpliga traktat i den internationella humanitära rätten och inte heller förser nationell eller internatioThe regulations applicable in non-international armed conflicts, Common Article 3 to the Geneva Conventions I-IV and Additional Protocol II, offer protection to civilians who do not directly participate in the hostilities.
