    Författare :Till Kolligs; [2023]
    Nyckelord :network analysis; agent based model; tipping point; climate action; complex contagion; vegetarianism;

  3. 2. Cosmological Constraints for a Varying Dark Energy Model

    Kandidat-uppsats, Umeå universitet/Institutionen för fysik

    Författare :Abdullah Alsakka; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Astronomy; Varying Dark Energy; Distances;

    Sammanfattning : This paper uses the Pantheon+ data set that consists of 1701 light curves of 1550 unique type IaSupernova to find constraints on various cosmological models and compare them with a varying darkenergy model proposed by Chevallier, Polarski and Linder in the early 2000s and analyze it deeper.The results show a tipping point from a decelerating universe to an accelerating one at a redshift ofz = 0.

  5. 4. Koldioxidutsläpp under byggproduktionsskedet i flerbostadshusprojekt

    Kandidat-uppsats, Jönköping University/JTH, Byggnadsteknik och belysningsvetenskap

    Författare :Christoffer Axelsson; Sandro Shammo; [2023]

    Sammanfattning : Introduction (and aim) – Carbon dioxide emissions have large consequences for nature and humans. If carbon dioxide emissions continue at this rate and the average temperature increases, the tipping point will be reached, and the damage will be too great to repair. Awareness of the climate began to emerge in the late 1980s. LÄS MER

  7. 5. The post pandemic future of Folkets hus as a social meeting point in Swedish small towns
