Nyfikenhet om stjärnorna och galaxerna runt om oss har fascinerat civilisationer i tusentals år. Rörelsen, ljuset, och mönster av himlakroppar har studerats av astronomer som försker förstå universum och dess utveckling. En fascinerande aspekt av studien av ljuset som emitteras från avlägsna stjärnor är att man observerar det förflutna. Dessutom är det detta ljus och strålning som flyr stjärnorna To understand the evolution of our galaxy, the chemical abundance patterns and trends within the stars of the different regions are explored. The process of synthesizing these elements reveals key details about the way the stars and, therefore, the galaxy formed. This project focused on the element potassium, K, and specifically its absorption line 7699 Å. The local thermodynamic equilibrium (LTE)

Den bristande fysiska aktiviteten förekommer inte endast hos vuxIn today’s society many children are struggling to exercise enough, this is especially the case for children with severe cerebral palsy, who often spend much time sedentary, which leads to several serious health risks. To mitigate these risks, the standard care in Sweden has been a static standing training (StS) regime. However, this training regime is no magic bullet, due to the relatively low in

The results show that they have difficulties defining

Den feministiska forskningen menar att institutioner som har en identitetskonstruktion som präglas av maskulina normer skapar en institution som är mer benägna att svara på problem med militära styrkor och våld. Syftet med denna uppsats är därför att försöka urskilja den diskursiva framställningen av maskulina normerna i EU:s policydokument som behandlar den gemensamma Europeiska globala strategin

A perpetual series of terror attacks have caused the European Union to shake in its foundations. In the face of the escalating transnational threat of terrorism, decision-makers, under severe public pressure, have repeatedly called for deeper international intelligence cooperation. A bold idea currently being debated is the establishment of a new European Intelligence Unit (EIU) in the field of co

The development of English into a dynamic and diverse compound of language varieties has led to a spread of non-standard grammar features. Such linguistic development affects language education, and thus the significance of common non-standard grammar features needs to be explored. The purpose of this study was thus to investigate the significance of traditional “correctness” of grammar in relatio

Elections to the European Parliament have since they were introduced in 1979 been, as scholars define it, a “second-order” election. They are typically as such characterized through the losses for national government parties, surge of smaller parties, low interest from the public in general and most of all low levels of voter participation. Expectations were therefore for once higher that the Euro

This paper explores the relationship between historical political conflicts and subnational variation in state capacity. I draw on new literature which suggests that internal patterns of state strength mirror the geographical distribution of socio-political conflicts during critical periods of institutional change. This general argument is placed within a broader society-centric theoretical framew

Vi blir allt bättre på att sopsortera och ta hand om vårt avfall, men kan det vara så att vi till och med har blivit för bra på det? För att hushålla med jordens resurser på ett smart och hållbart sätt måste vi börja återanvända saker mer och dela dem med varandra. I en cirkulär ekonomi gör man just detta. Ett klassiskt cirkulär ekonomiskt funktionstänk är att man behöver hålet och inte borren, ocHuman activity in the form of unnecessary consumption is one of the reasons to why we have come to experience climate change. A circular economy is an alternative to the linear economy that promotes consumption, and is based on a theory where waste is turned into resources again in a closed loop. In an ideal circular economy there is no waste and consumption is less dependent on extraction of virg
