“The Sustainable Backpack”: Exploring possibilities in education for sustainable development through a nationwide professional development program
Authors: Scheie Eldri , Stromholt Shelley 
Published: September 2019

AbstractEducation for sustainable development (ESD) provides crucial opportunities for young people to be involved authentically in addressing socio-ecological challenges in their local and global communities. While many studies on education for sustainable development have documented efforts within higher education, few examples exist of large-scale programmes that engage primary and secondary students. Norway’s Sustainable Backpack programme is a notable exception. In this paper, we present insights from this nationwide professional development effort to support teachers to implement ESD. We describe design principles that guide the programme and present evidence of success through teacher interpretations of their experiences and those of their students. Data sources include teacher survey data and insights into the programme by the authors as participant observers. Our goal is to provide initial insights into important aspects of professional development at a large scale for ESD and recommendations for future work.

Det er mange studier om utdanning for bærekraftig utvikling som dokumenterer innsats innen høyere utdanning, men få eksempler på storskala programmer som involverer grunnskole og videregående skole. Den naturlige skolesekken i Norge er et unntak i så måte. I denne artikkelen deler vi innsikt fra det nasjonale, faglige utviklingsarbeidet som støtter skoler, lærere og elever i å nærme seg UBU på en tverrfaglig måte. Vi beskriver designprinsippene som ligger til grunn for programmet, presenterer forutsetningene lærerne mener er viktige for å lykkes, deres egne erfaringer og den utviklingen de ser hos elevene sine. Datakildene inkluderer spørreundersøkelse blant lærerne og innsikt i programmet fra forfatterne som deltakende observatører. Vårt mål er å gi en innsikt i viktige aspekter og erfaringer fra profesjonsutvikling på nasjonalt nivå for UBU, samt å komme med anbefalinger for fremtidig arbeid på feltet.

Published: September 2019

Methods of modifying polyarylate based on bisphenol A and mixture of iso- and terephthalic acids by a representative of a promising class of polymers — polyarylene ether ketone have been discussed in this article. Comparative thermomechanical and thermofriction tests of two grades of poly(arylene ether ketone)based on bisphenol A and 4,4'-difluorobenzophenone (PAEK-32 and PAEK-34) have been carried out. It has been established that PAEK-34 is the most suitable for modifying polyarylate, which is confirmed by its higher softening temperature and stable friction coefficient at elevated temperatures. The thermomechanical properties and molecular mass distribution of amorphous polyarylene ether ketone before and after pressing have been studied. It has been established that during processing of poly(arylene ether ketone) PAEK-34 it’s molecular weight increases from 123 to 178 thousand a.m.u. with simultaneous change in the character of the molecular mass distribution from bimodal to unimodal. At the same time, there is a sharp decrease in the content of the low molecular weight fraction from 23.32 to 7.2%. Theoretical compatibility of polyarethylene ether ketone PAEK-34 and polyarylate DV based on the theory of solubility of substances has been studied. It was established that mixtures of these polymers are compatible for any components’ ratio according to the calculation results. The thermomechanical characteristics of the mixtures obtained on the basis of polyarylate and polyarylene ether ketone have been evaluated. It has been established that the growth of heat resistance of the mixture during processing is caused by intermolecular interaction of components with the formation of new chemical compounds having a block-type copolymer structure. This was confirmed by the change in the nature of the molecular-mass distribution of the polymer mixture upon the transition of the pressing temperature from 260 °C to 300 °C. It was established that the optimal conditions for the realization of block-copolymer formation reaction are created at 300 °C.

Published: September 2019

The second part of the series of review papers on the properties of some synthetically and spectroscopically interesting studies of our group for the period 2007-2017 is presented. In particular, examples of the analysis of spectroscopic data in combination with calculations by the molecular orbitals method are given. We mainly used spectroscopic methods of electron absorption and natural and magnetic circular dichroism, periodically applying fluorescence, phosphorescence and ESR with a time resolution. The spectra of (4n + 2) p systems, as well as some 4np antiaromatic systems, are analyzed theoretically, which helps the reader to interpret the spectral data. In the first and the second parts of this review monomer systems are considered, and in the third - trimeric and tetrameric systems.

Published: September 2019

It is shown that the developed earlier model of joint grinding of dissimilar particulate solids based on the discrete models of the Boltzmann equation does not take into account the possible size and density classification of particles and the operating of technological equipment in a closed milling circuit. It is substantiated that the problem of improving the efficiency of separation of mixture components, based on the analysis of their treatment in a closed milling circuit is an actual problem in the field. Theoretical investigations were based on the discrete models of the Boltzmann equation and the methods of their solution related to the technology of treatment of dissimilar components mixture. A special program for measurements and experimental data treatment obtained at the laboratory fluidized bed jet mill and the impact mill was developed for the experimental investigations. In the course of computational and experimental study a mathematical model of classification of dissimilar components was proposed and tested as well as the algorithm of its implementation into the general model of a closed milling circuit. The computational investigations were carried out to estimate the model sensitivity to the input parameters disturbance. The directions of improving the efficiency of the objective component separation in the closed milling circuit with the fluidized bed jet mill are found. The developed model the closed milling circuit for grinding dissimilar particulate solids can be used in engineering practice with acceptable accuracy. It can be used to estimate the possible enrichment of particulate solids mixtures and to define the optimal technological conditions of their separation with taking into account the limitations on the objective product impurity. The paths are outlined and the order of selection of the parameters of the grinding processes and the classification for effective separation of the components of the mixture are shown.

The Kolo Creek is an inland water body in the Niger Delta receiving organic and chemical wastes arising from anthropogenic activities within the catchment area. This study was therefore carried out to investigate the spatial variabilities of heavy metals in surface and sediment and their geochemical factors that influence their presence along the Kolo Creek in 2018 using Geo-accumulation index and pollution load index to extrapolate the level of heavy metal contraction in the two medium. Sediment and Water samples were collected for five (5) months and assessed from eight sampling points (A-h) for seven (7) heavy metals such as Copper (Cu), Lead (Pb), Iron(Fe), Camium (Cd), Manganese (Mn), Nickel (Ni) and Mercury (Hg). All the heavy metals had geo-accumulation indices below zero which indicates no pollution except Fe which had geo-accumulation index in the range 3.327 in surface water and 7.751 in sediment, furthermore, the pollution load index revealed a toxicity of 0.664 times in surface water as against 1.501 times in sediment exceeding the background concentration in the Kolo Creek. Hence, poor ecological ethics and culture should be discouraged to keep the Kolo Creek water under check for safe domestic water use.

Introduction: Biochemical and hematological abnormalities are among most common clinico-pathological manifestations of HIV/AIDS infected persons on antiretroviral drugs (ARDs). Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) infection are known to influence progression and management of HIV infection. Data are limited regarding the impact of ARDs on HIV/HCV co-infected persons in Nigeria. Hence, this study evaluated the biochemical and hematological impact of HCV on prognosis of HIV persons taking ARDs.
Materials and Methods: 2,322 HIV infected persons were screened for HCV. One hundred and nine were co-infected with HCV; and were cross-sectional monitored on ARDs for fifteen months at hospitals in North Central Nigeria for changes in clinical profiles. The determination of Alanine aminotransferase (ALT), Aspartate transaminase (AST), Packed cell volume (PCV) and White blood cells count (WBC) estimations were reviewed every 3 months for each of the person using Reflotron plus machine and hematological analyzer according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
Results: The results showed an increase in both HIV mono-infected and co-infected patients, with raised in AST from 18.46±0.73 to 34.32±0.6053U/l, ALT from 19.37±0.6804 to 34.87±0.5637U/l, PCV from 34.20±0.2998 to 34.89±0.4895% and WBC from 3.50x109±0.0816 to 6.67x109±0.1204 cells/L and AST from 17.35±0.1542 to 34.49±0.0981U/l, ALT from 17.67±0.1412 to 34.80±0915U/l, PCV from 36.74±0.2902 to 38.37±0.4399% and WBC from 3.90x109±0.0251 to 6.19x109±0.0178 cells/L.
Conclusion: It was found that PCV and WBC count values were positively affected despite HCV replication and AST and ALT enzyme levels for both HIV-mono and co-infected persons were slightly elevated. Therefore, efforts addressing viral hepatitis co-infections at the early stage of ARDs initiation under qualified clinician should be of paramount important.

Published: September 2019

Nowadays the environmental issues become a global concern for whole countries. Thus, it could be observed a worldwide rapid ecological awareness; entire community has realized the necessity of environmental protection. At the same time, people are educated to become aware on the environmental protection. A research study revealed that “consumers are becoming more sensitive in their environmental attitudes, preferences, and purchases” [1]. Adopting green consumption behavior is a mechanism encourage to maintain sustainable environment. Meanwhile, both consumers and businesses are concerned about the development of sustainable environment in Sri Lanka. Though they have the willingness to adopt still their green consumption behavior is in the early stage.
This study attempts to identify the major factors affecting consumers’ green purchasing behavior in Batticaloa district. A sample of 200 consumers’ response attained through convenience sampling method to examine the key factors influencing to green purchasing behavior. The data obtained from the survey were analyzed with reliability test, mean and regression analysis. The findings revealed that perception of eco labeling, willingness to pay and green knowledge & eco literacy have a significant impact on green purchasing behavior. At the same time environmental laws & guidelines has no significant impact on green purchasing behavior. Hence, study concluded that perception of eco labeling, willingness to pay and green knowledge & eco literacy are key reasons to promote green purchasing behavior. It will help to policy makers and managers in formulating and implementing strategies to encourage green purchasing among the targeted consumers.

Published: September 2019

AbstractResponsive neurostimulation (RNS) has emerged as an adjunctive treatment modality for patients with intractable focal epilepsy who are not surgical candidates or have more than one ictal onset focus. We report a 34‐year‐old patient with intractable, childhood‐onset, genetic generalized epilepsy (GGE) with tonic, atonic, myoclonic and absence seizures treated with RNS. Strip electrodes over the right posterior frontal cortex and depth electrodes placed in the right anterior nucleus were used for event detection and responsive stimulation. Two‐year follow‐up revealed 90–95% clinical seizure reduction. This case suggests that refractory GGE may be effectively treated with RNS targeting thalamocortical networks.

AbstractThe surface morphology of Li metal anode significantly dictates the stability and safety of Li metal batteries. The key parameters for morphological control and causes for dendritic growth of Li anode are still not clear. Although the plating kinetics is generally believed to be associated with Li growth habits, the detailed models are still not well defined. In this work, the temperature effect on the stability and efficiency of Li anode is systematically investigated in a variety of electrolyte composition for Li metal batteries. A dendrite‐free growth mechanism is observed, and a high Coulombic efficiency up to ≈99.4% in Li||Cu cells is achieved by tuning the deposition behaviors at elevated temperatures. The results provide insights into the Li dendrite growth mechanism and general principle for developing stable Li anode.
