Abstract: This article is about super-diverse ’healthcare. According to the Dutch ‘Centraal Bureau voor de Statistiek (CBS)’ 23.12% of the Dutch population comes from a country other than the Netherlands [1]. Large groups of immigrants in the Netherlands are now Indonesian, Surinamese, Turkish, Moroccan and Polish. The CBS is concerned about the (physical and mental) health of non-Western immigrants in comparison to the original Dutch [1]. In this article a proposal is made for the reorganization of psychological health care that does justice to our super-diverse society. The building blocks of this proposal come from legislation, international and national guidelines, transcultural psychiatry, and the results of scientific and practical research in healthcare. A prominent place has been given in this proposal for the concepts of 'ethnic matching' and 'all-inclusive multiculturalism' in the workplace. All-inclusive multiculturalism is about the necessity to introduce just and tolerant social super-diversity in the workplace.

Abstract: The global nature of the Internet has enabled extremely fast communication and transfer of most forms of human activity to the network, including those negatively received. Cyberspace is increasingly being spoken of as a new social space in which the same problems are reflected in the real world. Cybercrime is therefore a modern form of crime, exploiting the possibilities of digital techniques and the environment of computer networks. The research subject of this article is the policy of combating and preventing the phenomenon of cybercrime, while the research subject is Africa. At the beginning, the following research hypotheses were adopted: the slow pace of economic development of African countries is conditioned by the lack of appropriate legal regulations in the field of policy against cybercrime. This favors the development of economic cybercrime, which in turn testifies to the lack of measurement and control tools to limit and counter the very phenomenon of cybercrime in this area. Secondly, more importantly, the slow pace of ratification of international agreements also indicates that it will probably take longer than originally assumed that appropriate instruments of public international law could be legally binding within the African Union. Thirdly, the assumption was made that Africa is a potential for future economic development. In turn, the increase in the absorption and use of the Internet will contribute to its economic growth over time, which will continue to lead to the growth of cybercrime. The author, within the framework of this, publication, tries to show institutional and legal deficiencies on selected examples and indicate scenarios for preventing this phenomenon.
