In forensic identification problems the study of DNA profiles is often used. DNA databases began to be used in England in 1995 and gave rise to new challenges when used in identification problems. In Portugal the legislation for the construction of a DNA database file was defined in 2008. So, it is important to determine how to use it in an appropriate way. An important forensic identification problem is body identification. That is, in general, the identification of a body found, or more than one, using the information of missing persons belonging to one or more known families for which there may be information of family members who claimed the disappearance. Here it is intend to discuss how to use the database: the hypotheses of interest and the database use to determine the likelihood ratios, i.e., how to evaluate the evidence in different situations.

Relationships in non-linear systems are unstable. Considering that, chaos theory aims to understand and to explain the unpredictable aspects of nature, social life, uncertainties, nonlinearities, disorders and confusion. Small differences in initial conditions - such as those due to rounding errors in numerical computation may perform diverging outcomes tracking to systems chaotic behaviour. In these circumstances, long-term predictions become impossible in general. A brilliant metaphor on this is the so-called butterfly effect, about the way how the flapping of the wings of a butterfly may cause huge phenomena either they are physical, atmospheric or social. In this work, the drop of honey effect metaphor is proposed for representing this kind of butterfly effect for chaos in social phenomena, in particular in economics and politics.

The applications of chaos theory began first by natural sciences and then follow to the humanities and social sciences. Since the beginning got rapidly a developing field. Chaos is extremely complex and difficult to be identified in the real life. But using the available information, it is possible, anyway, up to a certain extent, to find specific mathematical relationships for problems to be solved. In this work some issues are presented in order to consider this subject in the humanities and social sciences fields

The operation and management of common property resources ("the commons") have been exhaustively examined in economics and political science, both in formal analysis and in practical applications. "Tragedy of the Commons" metaphor helps to explain why people overuse shared resources. On the other side, Anti-Commons Theory is a recent theory presented by scientists to explain several situations about new Property Rights concerns. An "anti-commons" problem arises when there are multiple rights to exclude. Little attention has been given to the setting where more than one person is assigned with exclusion rights, which may be exercised. We analyze the "anti-commons" problem in which resources are inefficiently under¬utilized rather than over-utilized as in the familiar commons setting. In fact, these two problems are symmetrical in several aspects.

Historically in the world, since last century, fish stocks of many species have been overexploited. A good management of fisheries became essential to permit the preservation of species. Managing fisheries got increasingly complex, once many interests, often contradictory, are always involved. Moreover, through time, political will has not been enough to change things in many places around the world and overexploitation has remained for many species. In India, with a strong population density in many coastal areas depending on fishing, the situation is very severe for many species and new requirements for preservation are now being tried. In literature, fisheries have been analysed in contexts of uncertainty. Chaos theory is one of the theories that have been used to explain fisheries. This work intends to represent a reflection about fisheries overexploitation, considering the utilization of chaos theory and the understanding of the related problems taking into account ethics setting. The India situation is showed.
