BUILDING VOCABULARY USING POP SONGS
No full textThe objective of the study is to find out whether there is a significant difference between the vocabulary mastery of first semester students taughtusing English pop songs and that taught without using English pop songs as a medium. This study involved 64 students of first semesterof STKIP Muhammadiyah Pringsewu Lampung in the academic year of 2012/2013 as the objects of the study. The result of the study shows there is a significant difference in the student’s vocabulary mastery between the experimental group who are taughtusing English pop songs and that taught without using English pop songs as a medium.The mean of post test score of the experimental group is 16.93 while the mean score of the control group is 14.54. The result of t-test shows that t-observed value which is higher than the t-value of the table (2.572>1.99), with a probability value of 0.008 which is lower than the significance level (0.008 < 0.05). In conclusion, the use of English pop songscould improve the students’ vocabulary mastery.Keywords: Vocabulary, English Pop Songs</p
My First Pop-Up Book of Fables: Little Simon

In-situ analysis of the gas-emissions of the Eastern Carpathians (Romania) using the Multi-Gas instrument
No full textThe Multi-Gas instrument is an important tool for the investigations and monitoring of volcanic systems world- wide, because it can be easily placed on a volcano and can provide real-time data on the compositional changes of the fluids that are released (Aiuppa et al., 2005, Shinohara et al., 2005). We used a specially designed Multi-Gas to gather in situ compositional information about low-temperature, CO2-rich gases, emerging from different manifestations like dry gas emissions (mofettes), bubbling pools and springs.
The instrument is equipped with two IR sensors for CO2 (0-100%) and CH4 (0-7%) and one electrochemical sensor for H2S (0-200 ppm).
The Multi-Gas was used during several field surveys between September-November 2018 across the Eastern Carpathians area, where a total of 69 gas emissions were investigated for their CO2, CH4 and H2S concentrations. Concentrations of the different gas-species varied according to the geological context. The CO2 concentrations varied between 0.96 and 98.08 %. The highest values were measured in the the volcanic area of Ciomadul, the youngest volcano of the Eastern Carpathians (32 kyr, Harangi et al., 2015), characterized by high CO2 gas output up to 8700 t/year (Kis et al., 2017). High values were measured also in the thrusted and folded area of the Carpathian Flysch and, suggesting the tectonic control over the appearance of the gas emissions. The CH4 concentrations ranged between 0.21 and 6.76% and were higher at hydrocarbon-prone areas, such as the sedimentary deposits of the Transylvanian Basin and Carpathian Flysch. In these cases the CO2 concentrations were low (up to 4.6%).
The concentrations of H2S were higher at the volcanic area of Ciomadul, reaching values above the detection limit (∼200 ppm).
The Multi-Gas proved to be useful tool in the in-situ investigation of cold gas emissions of the Eastern Carpathians, being efficient especially for the measurement of the H2S concentrations that are very sensitive for oxidation processes.

The Psychgeist of Pop Culture – Stranger Things
No full textRecent times have witnessed an explosion in forms of media that fall under the umbrella of "pop culture". However, no series represents this phenomenon more clearly than Netflix's own Stranger Things. It is a veritable cornucopia of nostalgic cultural references, an offering of the bygone era of the 1980s suburban America. This book brings together scholars from a diverse set of backgrounds to explore why this show engenders such an intense fandom and lasting impact on the human psyche.
"A fascinating dive into the psychology of Stranger Things - this book is a must for anyone looking to more deeply get to know the why behind their favourite characters." Caitlin Schneiderhan, Author of 'Stranger Things: Flight of Icarus' and Writer for Stranger Things (Netflix
Comfort van pop-up fietspaden
No full textDeze scriptie beschrijft een onderzoek naar de toepasbaarheid van verschillende pop-up fietspaden. Dit zijn fietspaden welke in zeer korte tijd kunnen worden aangelegd en in een latere fase definitief worden gerealiseerd of weer verdwijnen uit het straatbeeld. Aangezien pop-up fietspaden in de meeste gevallen op dezelfde rij loper liggen als auto’s voorheen gebruikte is een rijbaanscheiding van belang.Eerst is onderzocht welke type pop-up fietspaden bestaan en hoe deze onderverdeeld kunnen worden. Voor dit onderzoek is gebruik gemaakt van een enquête welke is verspreid in Duitsland, Frankrijk en Nederland om de gebruikerservaringen van pop-up fietspaden te bepalen.Uit dit onderzoek blijkt dat Barrières afgezien van kosten erg goed scoren. Een parkeerstrook als rijbaan scheiding is een goede optie mits voldoende ruimte aanwezig is en de weg geen stroomweg is.Lijn markering zijn qua kosten voordelig maar moeten desondanks zo min mogelijk gebruikt worden. Net als bij normale fietspaden is de ligging van invloed op de veiligheid van fietsers. In verschillende landen hebben fietsers verschillende voorkeuren voor de ligging van een fietspad. Ook de regelgevingis verschillend hierover tussen verschillende regio’s. Uit dit onderzoek blijkt dat rijbaanscheidingen inwisselbaar zijn per type wegindeling. Om een keuze voor een optimale rijbaanscheiding te maken kan gebruik gemaakt worden van een keuze diagram op basis van snelheid van auto’s en beschikbareruimte. Voor de wegindeling hebben alle types specifieke karakteristieken. Afhankelijk van de intensiteit lokaal of doorgaand fietsverkeer kan gekozen worden welk type wegindeling het beste bij de weg past aan de hand van een keuze diagram.Civil Engineering | Transport and Plannin
