Barnäktenskap är ett fenomen som är vanligt förekommande i stora delar av världen. År 2004 infördes lagbestämmelser om att utländska barnäktenskap inte ska erkännas i Sverige om minst en av parterna haft anknytning till Sverige.

Bygg kabelkonstruktioner i trä! I dagens samhälle blir det allt viktigare med hållbara lösningar för att lyckas bromsa den globala uppvärmningen. Stål och betong står båda för stora klimatutsläpp och har efter industrialiseringen varit det dominerande valet av material för stora byggnader. Ett alternativt, hållbart material som lyfts fram att kunna vara framtidens material är trä. Ett exempel på eIn the design of a building there are many parameters that effect the material efficiency. The choice of structural solution and material are two of the parameters that will be investigated further in this rapport. Suspension structures is one type of structural solution that has high material efficiency, here the bending stiff properties of timber could also be utilized in order to increase the s

Den legala arvsordningen ska garantera att en bröstarvinge får del av föräldrarnas egendom när de dör. I Sverige ska den del en bröstarvinge är garanterad vara hälften av kvarlåtenskapen delat med antalet bröstarvingar. Denna del kallas laglott.

Urbaniseringen innebär att det blir mer och mer hårdgjorda ytor i städer, vilket ökar belastningen på dagvattennätet. Vidare så innebär klimatförändringarna ytterligare utmaningar då nederbörden i Sverige antas öka. För att hantera detta föreslås hållbara dagvattenlösningar varav gröna tak kan vara en del. Detta skapar ett behov att på ett enkelt sätt modellera avrinningen från gröna tak. I detta

För att klara av den kommande demografiska utmaningen med en antagen fortsatt stigande medellivslängd, behöver arbetslivet förlängas. Då pensionen beräknas utifrån förväntad medellivslängd vid pensionering, kommer pensionen successivt bli allt lägre i förhållande till slutlönen om inte den ökade medellivslängden balanseras upp av en höjd utträdesålder från arbetslivet. Det finns ett flertal pensioIn order to cope with the coming demographic challenge with an assumed continued rising average life expectancy, working life needs to be extended. Since the pension is calculated on the basis of expected average life expectancy at retirement, the pension will gradually become lower in relation to the final salary unless the increased average life expectancy is compensated by an increased retireme
