Studenterproduceret video til eksamen
Formålet med denne artikel er at vise, hvordan læringsdesign og stilladsering kan anvendes til at skabe en ramme for studenterproduceret video til eksamen på videregående uddannelser. Artiklen tager udgangspunkt i en problemstilling, hvor uddannelsesinstitutionerne skal håndtere og koordinere undervisning inden for både det faglige område og mediefagligt område og sikre en balance mellem en fagfaglighed og en mediefaglig tilgang. Ved at dele opgaven ud på flere faglige resurser, er der mere koordinering, men man kommer omkring problemet med krav til underviserne om dobbelt faglighed ved medieproduktioner.
Med afsæt i Lanarca Declarationens perspektiver på læringsdesign og hovedsageligt Jerome Bruners principper for stilladsering, sammensættes en model for understøttelse af videoproduktion af studerende på videregående uddannelser. Ved at anvende denne model for undervisningssessioner og forløb får de fagfaglige og mediefaglige undervisere et redskab til at fokusere og koordinere indsatsen frem mod målet med, at de studerende producerer og anvender video til eksamen
Palaeogene deposits in North-East Greenland
Scattered occurrences of Palaeogene sediments are found in North-East Greenland, where they overlie unconformably Cretaceous sediments and are capped by Palaeogene basalts. These sediments have received little attention (Watt 1994), except for relatively recent studies (Nøhr-Hansen & Piasecki 2002; Jolley & Whitham 2004; Larsen et al. 2005; Heilmann- Clausen et al. 2008). As part of an ongoing petroleum geological study that focuses on the Jurassic–Cretaceous succession, the Palaeogene sediments were included to better constrain their age, depositional environment and relation to the basalts. Several localities were investigated on Wollaston Forland, Sabine Ø and Hold with Hope, a few of which are described here (Fig. 1)
Effects of antenatal hypnosis on maternal salivary cortisol during childbirth and six weeks postpartum-A randomized controlled trial
BACKGROUND:Cortisol has been used to capture psychophysiological stress during childbirth and postpartum wellbeing. We explored the effect of a brief antenatal training course in self-hypnosis on salivary cortisol during childbirth and 6 weeks postpartum. METHODS:In a randomized, controlled trial conducted at Aarhus University Hospital Skejby Denmark during the period January 2010 until October 2010, a total of 349 healthy nulliparous women were included. They were randomly allocated to a hypnosis group (n = 136) receiving three one-hour lessons in self-hypnosis with additional audio-recordings, a relaxation group (n = 134) receiving three one-hour lessons in various relaxation methods with audio-recordings for additional training, and a usual care group (n = 79) receiving ordinary antenatal care only. Salivary cortisol samples were collected during childbirth (at the beginning of the pushing state, 30 minutes, and 2 hours after childbirth), and 6 weeks postpartum (at wake up, 30 minutes after wake up, and evening). Cortisol concentrations were compared using a linear mixed-effects model. Correlations between cortisol concentrations and length of birth, experienced pain and calmness during birth were examined by a Spearman rank correlation test. FINDINGS:During childbirth, week correlations were found between cortisol concentrations 30 minutes after childbirth and length of birth. In the beginning of the pushing state and 2 hours after childbirth, we found a tendency towards higher cortisol concentrations in the hypnosis group compared to the other two groups (hypnosis versus relaxation p = 0.02 and 0.03, hypnosis versus usual care p = 0.08 and 0.05). No differences were observed in cortisol concentrations between the groups 30 minutes after childbirth (hypnosis versus relaxation p = 0.08, hypnosis versus usual care 0.10) or 6 weeks postpartum (hypnosis versus relaxation: p = 0.85, 0.51, and 0.68, hypnosis versus usual care: p = 0.85, 0.93, and 0.96). CONCLUSION:Antenatal hypnosis training may increase the release of cortisol during childbirth with no long-term consequences. Further research is needed to help interpret these findings
Interface band gap narrowing behind open circuit voltage losses in Cu<sub>2</sub>ZnSnS<sub>4</sub> solar cells
We present evidence that band gap narrowing at the heterointerface may be a
major cause of the large open circuit voltage deficit of CuZnSnS/CdS
solar cells. Band gap narrowing is caused by surface states that extend the
CuZnSnS valence band into the forbidden gap. Those surface states are
consistently found in CuZnSnS, but not in CuZnSnSe, by
first-principles calculations. They do not simply arise from defects at
surfaces but are an intrinsic feature of CuZnSnS surfaces. By including
those states in a device model, the outcome of previously published
temperature-dependent open circuit voltage measurements on CuZnSnS
solar cells can be reproduced quantitatively without necessarily assuming a
cliff-like conduction band offset with the CdS buffer layer. Our
first-principles calculations indicate that Zn-based alternative buffer layers
are advantageous due to the ability of Zn to passivate those surface states.
Focusing future research on Zn-based buffers is expected to significantly
improve the open circuit voltage and efficiency of pure-sulfide CuZnSnS
solar cells.Comment: Accepted at Applied Physics Letter
