Alla gillar vi att observera världen runtom oss. Vi observerar hur natthimlens stjärnor rör sig från öst mot väst nattetid och vi ser hur Månen ändrar sin position bland stjärnorna från en natt till en annan.I denna interaktiva visning observerar vi Solens rörelse över himlavalvet. Märkte du var den steg över horisonten i morse? Stiger den alltid över horisonten just där? Var kommer solnedgångWe are all observers of our Universe. We see the stars moving from East to West at night and we see the Moon move among the stars from day to day.But let us consider the Sun. Did you notice where the Sun rose above the horizon this morning? Does it always rise in the same location? Where will the Sun set tonight? Where would it set if we were in Australia?This is an interactive show where we

Recent advancements in catchment hydrology (such as understanding hydrological processes, accessing new data sources, and refining methods for parameter constraints) make it possible to apply catchment models for ungauged basins over large domains. Here we present a cutting-edge case study applying catchment-modelling techniques at the global scale for the first time. The modelling procedure was c

The speed-reducing effect of speed humps during darkness is important to ensure a consistent speed reduction and a decreased probability of accidents during darkness. This study examined the effects of speed humps, compared with a control location, on a residential road in Sweden with light-emitting diode (LED) street lighting and a 30 km/h posted speed limit. Hypotheses tested were that: (I) vehi

This chapter discusses the role of combinatorial knowledge and its multi-scalarity in shaping the transformation paths of local productive systems that are affected by the gales of contemporary technological change. Analytic knowledge is often created with the application of experiment-based methods. The value is extracted from the application of scientific principles and theoretical modes of lear

R&D related foreign direct investments represent a powerful mechanism for cross-border knowledge sharing that can stimulate the process of technological catch-up. However, low-income countries and smaller middle-income countries remain largely excluded from this kind of global flows of knowledge. In this chapter, we discuss the motivations and implications of this type of FDI for low and middl

This paper presents the electron and photon energy calibration obtained with the ATLAS detector using about 36 fb -1 of LHC proton-proton collision data recorded at s=13 TeV in 2015 and 2016. The different calibration steps applied to the data and the optimization of the reconstruction of electron and photon energies are discussed. The absolute energy scale is set using a large sample of Z boson d

Utomhusbelysning i offentliga miljöer har en viktig roll i en hållbar stadsutveckling. Energieffektiv LED-belysning kan stödja mobilitet i stadsmiljöer och medverka till en ökad tillgänglighet för personer med särskilda behov. Belysningen i föreliggande studie upplevdes ge tillräcklig ljusmängd och jämnt ljus, och det gick att se bra i belysningen. Trots att LED-belysningen ökade möjligheterna til

The brown bear population in Scandinavia has substantially increased the last 30 years, in-creasing the probability of interactions between humans and bears. This environmental change is evident to many who live in brown bear areas and to them it is important to feel safe when engaged in nature based activities. This research project aimed to, further develop and evaluate two specific intervention

It is important to study the factors affecting estimates of wetness since wetness is crucial in climate change studies. The availability of digital elevation models (DEMs) generated with high resolution data is increasing, and their use is expanding. LIDAR earth elevation data have been used to create several DEMs with different resolutions, using various interpolation parameters, in order to comp

I senere tid har spørsmålet om ulvens oppførsel overfor mennesker og nær bebyggelse vært sentralt i diskusjonen om norsk ulveforvaltning. Det har blitt framholdt at en del ulver er nærgående, på den måten at de synes å oppsøke bebodde områder, og ikke viker unna i møte med mennesker. Det sies at nærgående ulver er skremmende, og bidrar til redusert livskvalitet. Denne studiens formål har vært å ka
