A distinct expression of this aspiration can be found in a provision of the Swedish Children and Parents code, 6 chapter § 2 a. In this provision it is stated that the best interests of the child shall be the determining factor in all decisions regarding custody,

Restraint forces are internal forces that are created when a structure is prevented from movement. Restraint forces can for ex

Robustness of structural systems is as yet not explicitly defined nor is there a clearly defined method for incorporating robustness in design/construction. Robustness can be simply defined as the ability of a structural system to survive unforeseen/extraordinary exposures or circumstances that would otherwise cause it to fail. The structure must have enough residual capacity during and after the
