    This article examines and compares the patterns of collaboration and resistance in the school sector, the police, and the ministerial bureaucracy, which experienced very different developments during the German occupation of Norway. While teachers created a powerful resistance movement, the police became a useful tool for the occupier. The development within the ministerial bureaucracy was highly differentiated, where some departments were permeated by a new, National Socialist ethos, and others characterized by a culture of collective resistance. Three main factors led to the disparate responses: the framework established by the German authorities, and their varying interests in different spheres; the internal values, role perceptions, and political views within the three groups; and the social dynamics within given sectors. Leaders’ views and influence, the pace and intensity of Nazification, and the ability to mobilize quickly and collectively, were of decisive importance.publishedVersio

    Layanan merupakan unsur utama dalam pencapaian suatu keberhasilan perpustakaan disebabkan bagian inilah yang berhubungan langsung dengan pemustaka dalam penyebaran informasi serta pemanfaatan jasa dan fasilitas yang ada di perpustakaan. Kepuasan merupakan tingkat perasaan di mana seseorang menyatakan hasil perbandingan atas kinerja jasa yang diterima dan yang diharapkan. Fokus penelitian ini adalah mengukur kepuasan pemustaka tentang kualitas layanan di Perpustakaan Pusat Institut Teknologi Bandung berdasarkan harapan dan persepsi pemustaka. Metode Penelitian yang digunakan adalah desktiptif, penelitian yang dilakukan untuk mengetahui nilai variabel mandiri, baik satu variabel atau lebih tanpa membuat perbandingan atau menghubungkan variabel satu dengan variabel lainnya”. Populasi dalam penelitian ini adalah seluruh anggota perpustakaan Pusat Institut Teknologi Bandung yang masih aktif per mei 2016, berjumlah 13168 orang. Penentuan kriteria sampel penelitian digunakan teknik proportionate stratified random sampling, Sampel penelitian ini berjumlah 99 responden. Teknik analisis data menggunakan Metode LibQUAL+TM untuk mengukur kepuasan berdasarkan kualitas layanan perpustakaan, LibQUAL+ TM terdiri dari tiga dimensi yang dijadikan indikator pengukuran yaitu Affect of Service (kinerja petugas dalam pelayanan), Information Control (Kualitas dan akses informasi) dan Library as Place (sarana perpustakaan). Teknik pengumpulan data menggunakan kuesioner. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa kepuasan pemustaka tentang kualitas layanan perpustakaan pusat ITB telah memenuhi harapan dalam kategori “puas” . Urutan tertinggi tingkat kepuasan pemustaka perdimensi berdasarkan skor kesenjangan adalah Dimensi Library as Place (Sarana Perpustakaan) ,Dimensi Affect of Service (Kinerja Petugas dalam Pelayanan), dan Dimensi Information Control (Kualitas dan Akses Informasi). Kata kunci : Analisis kepuasan, kualitas layanan, metode LibQUAL+TM Service is the key element of a success of a library as the it is directly related to the user in the dissemination of information and the utilization of services and facilities in the library. User's satisfaction is a feeling level where someone stated that the results of the comparison of the performance of services is accepted and expected. The focus of this research is to measure user satisfaction of the quality of service provided in ITB Central Library, based on expectations and the perception of the users. The research method used is descriptive, namely "research done to know the value of the independent variables, whether one or more variables without making a comparison or connect one variable with other variables". The population in this research were all members of the central library at the Bandung Institute of Technology that are still active by may 2016, totally 13168 members. The determination of the criteria of the research samples was using the technique of proportionate stratified random sampling, and samples of this study were 99 respondents. Data analysis techniques used was LibQUAL Method+TM to measure customer satisfaction based on the quality of the library service, LibQUAL+ consists of three-dimensional that made the measurement indicator namely Affect of Service (performance of librarians in giving services), Information Control (quality of information and access to information) and library as Place (library facility). Technique of data collection used was questionnaires. The results of this research shows that users' satisfaction on the quality of service at Central Library of ITB is in "satisfaction" category. The highest level of user satisfaction of each dimension based on the gap score is the dimension of the Library as Place (library facility) ,dimension of Affect of Service (performance of librarians in giving services),and dimension of Information Control (the quality of information and access to information).

    Unhealthy aging poses a global challenge with profound healthcare and socioeconomic implications. Slowing down the aging process offers a promising approach to reduce the burden of a number of age-related diseases, such as dementia, and promoting healthy longevity in the old population. In response to the challenge of the aging population and with a view to the future, Norway and the United Kingdom are fostering collaborations, supported by a "Money Follows Cooperation agreement" between the 2 nations. The inaugural Norway-UK joint meeting on aging and dementia gathered leading experts on aging and dementia from the 2 nations to share their latest discoveries in related fields. Since aging is an international challenge, and to foster collaborations, we also invited leading scholars from 11 additional countries to join this event. This report provides a summary of the conference, highlighting recent progress on molecular aging mechanisms, genetic risk factors, DNA damage and repair, mitophagy, autophagy, as well as progress on a series of clinical trials (eg, using NAD+ precursors). The meeting facilitated dialogue among policymakers, administrative leaders, researchers, and clinical experts, aiming to promote international research collaborations and to translate findings into clinical applications and interventions to advance healthy aging.</p
