Metan är en effektiv växthusgas som har stor betydelse för det globala klimatet. Metanemissioner från våtmarker med underliggande permafrost anses bidra väsentligt till dynamiken som styr koncentrationen av metan i atmosfären på de nordliga breddgraderna. Under nedfrysningen av marken hösten 2007 uppmättes ett stort utsläpp av metan vid en mätstation på nordöstra Grönland. Mängden metan motsvaradeMethane is an effective greenhouse gas of vital importance to global climate. Methane emissions from permafrost dominated peatlands contribute significantly to the dynamics of the high-latitude atmospheric methane concentration. During the freezing period of autumn 2007 a large methane emission peak was recorded at a peatland in northeast Greenland. The integral of this abrupt peak was equivalent

Sharia har blivit ett hett ämne i debatten om huruvida Islam är förenligt med den moderna värld vi idag säger oss leva i eller ej. De samhällen där Islam är den dominerande religionen uppmanas att lägga Sharian bakom sig om de vill bli accepterade medlemmar i det internationella samfundet. Sharialagarna är till stor del baserade på Koranen men också på sunna – dvs. profeten Muhammeds vanor och relOver the last decade, Sharia has become an intense subject of discussion. Especially considering the laws compatibility with the modern society we now are claiming to live in. Countries, where Islam is the dominating religion, are encouraged to look past Sharia in order to become worthy members of the international congregation.

Givet ett harmoniskt vektorfält u på en begränsad domän kallar vi den mängd där u träder in i domänen för inträdesrand och den mängd där u lämnar domänen utträdesrand. I den första delen av detta examensarbete ställer vi frågan om det är möjligt att ha inre stagnationspunkter och sammanhängande inträdes- och utträdesrand. Svaret i två dimensioner är ‘nej’ för en domän som är homeomorf till skivan.Given a harmonic vector field u on a bounded domain we call the set on which u enters the domain entrant boundary and the set on which u exits the domain emergent boundary. In the first part of this thesis we ask the question of whether it is possible to have interior stagnation points and connected entrant and emergent boundaries. The answer in two dimensions for a domain homeomorphic to a disc i
