Boligeieres beslutningsprosesser ved oppgradering : Systematisk EnergiOPPgradering av småhus – SEOPP

Omfattende oppgradering av eneboliger er et viktig skritt mot en mer energieffektiv bygningsmasse i Norge. Denne rapporten beskriver drivere og barrierer for oppgradering og energieffektivisering. Dataene ble innhentet gjennom dybdeintervjuer av huseiere. De største barrierene for energioppgradering var: utfordringer med informasjonsinnhenting, lavt kunnskapsnivå i byggebransjen om tekniske løsninger og byggetekniske detaljer, høye kostnader, vanskelig tilgjengelige materialer og produkter. De største motivasjonsfaktorene var økt bokomfort, generelt behov for oppgradering, strømsparing og lavere strømregning. Motivasjonsfaktorene viser at energieffektivisering ofte er en «bi-effekt» når tiltak settes i gang i hus som er modne for oppgradering.publishedVersio

PENGEMBANGAN MEDIA PEMBELAJARAN PUISI BERTEMA PERJUANGAN UNTUK MENGUATKAN NILAI-NILAI NASIONALISME DALAM PENDIDIKAN KEWARGANEGARAAN : PTK tentang Penggunaan Media Pembelajaran Puisi Bertema Perjuangan dalam Pembelajaran PPKn di Kelas VII A SMP Laboratorium Percontohan UPI Bandung

Nilai nasionalisme merupakan salah satu nilai yang harus dimiliki oleh siswa. Pembinaan nilai nasionalisme itu dikembangkan melalui pembelajaran Pendidikan Pancasila dan Kewarganegaraan (PPKn) di sekolah. Media pembelajaran merupakan salah satu alat untuk merangsang semangat kebangsaan mereka. Namun kondisi di sekolah, media yang digunakan guru dalam pembelajaran itu kurang bervariasi dan kurang menggugah para siswa, sehingga pembinaan kompetensi sikap nasionalisme siswa masih kurang optimum. Oleh karena itu, untuk mencapai penguatan nilai-nilai nasionalisme siswa dalam pembelajaran PPKn, digunakanlah media pembelajaran puisi bertema perjuangan, khususnya dalam materi berkomitmen terhadap Pancasila sebagai dasar negara. Penelitian dilakukan di kelas VII A SMP Laboratorium Percontohan UPI Bandung melalui metode penelitian tindakan kelas (PTK). Teknik pengumpulan data yang digunakan adalah observasi, wawancara, studi dokumentasi, studi kepustakaan, dan catatan lapangan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan penguatan nilai-nilai nasionalisme siswa pada pembelajaran PPKn melalui tiga siklus pembelajaran. Hasil memperlihatkan sikap belajar siswa yang tinggi, disiplin, saling toleransi dan menghargai teman, serta hormat dan santun kepada guru. Terlihat deskripsi siswa dalam mengutamakan kepentingan kelompok daripada kepentingan pribadi, berani tampil ke depan kelas dan makin berani mengemukakan pendapat. Seiring dengan itu, perkembangan kognitif dan keterampilan mereka terlihat dari berkomunikasi dalam kelompok dan kelas di sekolah. Kesimpulannya, media puisi bertema perjuangan dapat dijadikan sebagai salah satu alternatif media pembelajaran yang dapat digunakan guru Pendidikan Pancasila dan Kewarganegaraan dalam peningkatan kualitas proses pembelajaran, guna menguatkan nilai-nilai nasionalisme siswa di sekolah. Maka seyogyanya media puisi bertema perjuangan terus dikembangkan dalam pembelajaran Pendidikan Pancasila dan Kewarganegaran di sekolah.

Development of nationalism is developed through civic education in school. Instructional media is one of tools to stimulate their national spirit. Nevertheless, the conditions in school, the media used by teachers in teaching are less varied and evocative over the students, so student’s competency over nationalism is still less optimum. Therefore, the use of struggle themed poetry is to achieve the reinforcement of student’s nationalism in civic education, especially in part to commit to Pancasila as national principle. The research conducted in JHS UPI Bandung Laboratory Schools class VII A through Classroom Action Research Method. The data collection techniques that used are observation, interviews, documentation studies, literature studies, and field notes. The research results show reinforcement of student’s nationalism in civic education through three cycles of learning. The results show high students learning attitude, discipline, tolerance, respect and well behaved over fellow students and teachers. Students prioritize their group rather than their personal interest, they are able to appear in front of the class, and express their opinions. Along with that, their skills and cognitive development are visible from the way they communicate in groups and class in school. The conclusion is the media struggle themed poetry can be used as an alternative media that can be used by civics teachers to improve the quality of learning process, also reinforces the student’s nationalism in school. Accordingly, the struggle themed poetry media continue to be developed in civic education in school. Keywords: Media, Learning, Struggle Poetry, Nationalism

User evaluation of vacuum insulation in clay blocks

This is an early user test of vacuum insulation embedded in clay blocks, a solution developed within ZEB. The product is in an early stage of its development and is not taken into use in any building projects yet. Therefore, the evaluation is not based on experiences but on expectations towards this product. In this exploration we have conducted twelve telephone interviews with representatives from different parts of the building industry. The main results are: There is general agreement that vacuum insulation will be interesting and attractive for the market. Some find thick walls problematic, but others indicated that there exist aesthetic and practical reasons to prefer thick walls. Vacuum insulation may therefore be especially important for renovation projects and new buildings where the site costs are high. Vacuum insulation in clay blocks seems like a reasonable combination to most of the informants. But there was also a demand for vacuum insulation for wood constructions in combination with thinner and lighter materials. According to our informants, to make vacuum insulation a central building product in the future, a great degree of material flexibility will clearly be important. For future promotion of a product with vacuum insulation, it is also important to convince the market that it is robust enough, and show calculation examples on how the product may be more profitable when used where the site prices are high. The environmental impact of vacuum insulation matters to some of our informants, and a clear plan for pre-separation at source is asked for.© Copyright SINTEF Academic Press and Norwegian University of Science and Technology 201

Diagnostic validity of early-onset obsessive-compulsive disorder in the Danish Psychiatric Central Register:findings from a cohort sample

Employing national registers for research purposes depends on a high diagnostic validity. The aim of the present study was to examine the diagnostic validity of recorded diagnoses of early-onset obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) in the Danish Psychiatric Central Register (DPCR)

Water column biogeochemistry of oxygen minimum zones in the eastern tropical North Atlantic and eastern tropical South Pacific Oceans

Recent modeling results suggest that oceanic oxygen levels will decrease significantly over the next decades to centuries in response to climate change and altered ocean circulation. Hence the future ocean may experience major shifts in nutrient cycling triggered by the expansion and intensification of tropical oxygen minimum zones (OMZs). There are numerous feedbacks between oxygen concentrations, nutrient cycling and biological productivity; however, existing knowledge is insufficient to understand physical, chemical and biological interactions in order to adequately assess past and potential future changes. We investigated the pelagic biogeochemistry of OMZs in the eastern tropical North Atlantic and eastern tropical South Pacific during a series of cruise expeditions and mesocosm studies. The following summarizes the current state of research on the influence of low environmental oxygen conditions on marine biota, viruses, organic matter formation and remineralization with a particular focus on the nitrogen cycle in OMZ regions. The impact of sulfidic events on water column biogeochemistry, originating from a specific microbial community capable of highly efficient carbon fixation, nitrogen turnover and N2O production is further discussed. Based on our findings, an important role of sinking particulate organic matter in controlling the nutrient stochiometry of the water column is suggested. These particles can enhance degradation processes in OMZ waters by acting as microniches, with sharp gradients enabling different processes to happen in close vicinity, thus altering the interpretation of oxic and anoxic environments
