Sedan urminnes tider har man vetat om att det finns ljusa kroppar på himlen som rör sig ovanligt fort. Grekerna döpte dessa till vandrare, ett ord som på grekiska uttalas väldigt likt planet. Planeterna har studerats i århundraden och bara de senaste två decennierna har vi ökat från våra egna åtta planeter till flera tusen nya planeter kallade exoplaneter, planeter runt andra stjärnor än våran egeData from NASA's Kepler space telescope, which searches for exoplanets via the transit method, produced 1108 new planetary candidates in 2013 with a total of 91% being smaller than Neptune in size. These were mostly super-Earths, terrestial planets between Earth and Neptune in size, with orbits around 10 days. In order for any theory of planet formation to be valid it must be able to account

This thesis investigates numerically the out of equilibrium properties of quantum rings with magnetic impurities, using the periodic Anderson model (PAM). The model is a simple template for the discussion of the physics of regular arrays of rare-earth impurities in metallic hosts. The system considered is a quantum ring consisting of up to six sites, each of whom are connected to an Anderson impur

The impact of socioeconomic factors on adult and under-five mortality is a subject which has been widely discussed. However, one cannot say the same when it comes to the impact of religion on mortality, and in fact, most of the existing literature has focused on the impact of religious participation on disease-specific mortality among adults. The purpose of this paper was to examine the impact of

Buildings has both a cultural-historical and technical value. Buildings that were built in the 60's and 70's had relatively simple energy requirements compared to today. A large part of these buildings need to be renovated. Culture-marked buildings makes the process more difficult due to the cultural- historical value. This means no exterior work can be done, the retrofitting energy effici

Timber-concrete composite floors have been used for many years outside Sweden, although this kind of floor has not reached its full potential in Sweden. An advantage of using a timber-concrete composite floor is that the concrete is primarily subjected to compressive stress while the wood is primarily subjected to tensile stress, for the case of vertical load. The purpose of this work is to examin

The purpose of the study is to find out how construction companies are affected by the hiring of foreign subcontractors. The report investigates the potential risks and what advantages and disadvantages there are construction companies to procure contracts in the international market and especially in North Europe. The work will result in a report that will have the layout of a manual regarding th

Prästgårdsängens förskola i Kungsbacka byggdes år 2008 med passivhusteknik. På förskolan går barn i åldrarna mellan 1-3 och 4-5 år, där många aktiviteter bedrivs både utomhus och inomhus. Detta leder till att det blir mycket rörelse mellan inne och utemiljö. Förskolan består av ett plan och stor del av elförsörjningen kommer från de solceller som finns installerade på 220 m2 av skolans tak. Då intPrästgårdsängens preschool in Kungsbacka was built in 2008 with passive house technology. At the school there are children going aged between 1-3 and 4-5 years, where many activities are conducted both indoors and outdoors. This leads to that there will be a lot of movement between indoor and outdoor environment. The preschool consists of a flat and much of the electricity supply comes from the so

Upphandlingsförfarandet befinner sig i gränslandet mellan den offentligrättsliga upphandlingsrätten och den civilrättsliga obligationsrätten. I denna skärningspunkt är det inte alltid helt klart vilket regelkomplex som bör tillämpas. Det har samtidigt visat sig att kontrollen av utförarnas kompetenser inte kontrolleras av beställarna. I sig kan det medföra ett opportunt agerande av anbudsgivarna s
