Människans nyfikenhet när det gäller vårt Universum är närmast oändlig. I tusentals år har vi tittat uppåt och undrat om himlen helt enkelt är gudarnas domän eller om det kan finns varelser där ute i oändligheten som liknar oss.I denna visning reser vi från Jorden ut genom vårt Solsystem, besöker Solen och de åtta planeter som kretsar runt den, innan vi åker vidare mot stjärnor och galaxer. GalaxeIn this show we travel from the Earth to the edge of the Universe, discovering planets, stars and galaxies along the way.

Mayafolket har levt i över 3000 år på Yucatánhalvön, i Mellanamerika. I det område som idag tillhör Mexico, Guatemala och Belize, lever Mayakulturen kvar. Precis som människor har gjort i alla tider, så har även Mayafolket tittat upp mot natthimlen och ställt sig frågan: vad gör vi här?I alla Mayafolkets byggnader vördades tid som någonting heligt. Redan för hundratals år sedan föreställde sig MayThe Mayans have lived in central America for over 3000 years. In a region that today belongs to Mexico, Guatemala and Belize the Mayaculture lives on. Throughout history the Mayans have observed the skies above, made up stories and legends and looked to the skies for answers.In a feast of colours and sounds, Mayan Archaeoastronomy: Observers of the Universe makes a tour of 6 Mayan temples: San Ger

This thesis concerns the Articles 30, 34 and 36 of the EC-Treaty and conflicts of competence between the Community and the Member States. It deals especially with the delimitation between community concerns and national concerns in the field of non-tariff barriers to trade in community law. A new perspective concerning the application of Articles 30 and 34 of the EC-Treaty is introduced. It is arg

To deal with complex physical and chemical processes in reactive systems, such as combustion processes, it is necessary to find methods that simplify modelling in such a way that it becomes both more comprehensible and practically useful. In the work reported here a method for automatically reducing chemical reaction mechanisms has been developed for use in computer simulations of various combusti

A method to estimate Q and QZ' of antennas from single-frequency current distributions is described. This single-frequency method and the concepts of physical bounds on antenna parameters and optimum current distributions are applied to different analysis and design situations of two-dimensional and three-dimensional radiating structures (i.e., antennas). The situations considered are: antenna opt

This dissertation, based on 14 months of fieldwork carried out in central, northern and north-eastern Thailand, focuses on laypeople's demands on contemporary Thai Theravada sangha. In the aftermath of the economic breakdown in 1997, an intense discussion concerning the moral status of the sangha took place. The religious interests and demands clearly differ between different groups. What still se

Preventative environmental approaches (e.g. Cleaner Production and Pollution Prevention) have been successfully implemented in the manufacturing industry. They are, however, far from being fully adopted by all society actors. It has, for instance, not been fully embraced by the service sector. When this research project started, the initial question was whether it was possible to adopt experiences

Coronapandemin i kombination med ökad e-handel har varit ännu ett svårt slag mot svenska stadskärnor. Under 2020 och 2021 har flera stora butikskedjor valt att lämna stadskärnorna till förmån för externa handelsplatser och onlinehandel. Larmrapporterna och lösningar på problemet har varit många under 2021. Denna rapport är en analys och utvärdering av vad som sagts i media, tidigare forskning och

In making capacity estimates and cost calculations in the manufacturing industry, many products and production systems are often involved, making the data in their totality difficult to grasp. Introducing the concept of the characteristic part, which is a fabricated part seen as representative of all parts produced in terms of demand, setup time, cycle time, average batch size and total number of

I undersökningen analyseras ett stort antal uppgifter om hur hushåll använder energi i hemmet inom olika funktionsområden samt hur fastighetsägare ser på hushållen som energikunder och hur hushållen själva ser på energitjänstföretagen och sina möjligheter att spara energi. Ett viktigt syfte var att kartlägga i vilken mån allmänt rekommenderade beteenden för att spara energi hemma förekommer blan

In the present thesis, analytical sample pre-treatment methods for the determination of trace metal ions in complex matrices were developed and tested. These methods were based on membrane fractionation, clean-up and enrichment of analytes and applied to the determination of aluminium, cadmium, cobalt, chromium, copper, nickel and lead in biological and environmental samples. In one application d

The topic dealt with in this thesis is whether, as Wieder and Kaplan (1969) suggest, the personality of drug addicts is related to their particular drug of choice. The subjects were 128 heavy drug addicts, 37 women and 91 men, each of them selected for the fact of there being one basic drug he/she abused. The drug of choice was either heroin (30 women, 52 men), amphetamine (7 women, 32 men) or can
