Three issues characterise the background to the MECCA study: A) Throughout Europe, most patients with severe forms of psychotic disorders are cared for in the community. The challenge now is to make processes in community mental health care more effective. B) There are widespread calls to implement regular outcome measurement in routine settings. This, however, is more likely to happen, if it prov

With the rapid production of sportswear and its price advantage, consumption has also increased significantly, which has a rather negative impact on the environment, society, and the economy.

På senare år har ökad uppmärksamhet riktats mot det omfattande fusk som ägt rum i samband med högskoleprovet. Fusket ter sig extra allvarligt då de riskerar att skada allmänhetens förtroende inför antagningsprocessen till högre utbildning och utbildningssystemet i stort. På grund av fusket har frågan kring vad som ska hända med en persons högskolebetyg om det uppdagats att personen fuskat sig inIn recent years increased attention has been paid to the extensive cheating that has taken place in connection with Högskoleprovet (A Swedish admission exam for universities).

Att gårdsförsäljning av alkoholdrycker ska bli en verklighet i Sverige är något som många vill se. För att gårdsförsäljningen ska kunna existera vid sidan om det svenska alkoholmonopolet krävs att den är förenlig med rådande EU-rätt.

Central to EU legal regulation is the maintenance of an internal market with the free movement of goods. Article 37 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU) regulates state trading mon
