“…physics teachers) is absolutely necessary because the understanding of the utilization of NREs becomes a necessity to meet the energy needs of the present and future Indonesia. Thus, the present study was aimed to profile secondary school students' literacy in NREs [5][6] [7]. In addition, this study looked into the ability of physics teacher students in preparing and their awareness about the supporting materials.…”

Abstract. Supporting instructional materials play an important role in enhancing the literacy in physics concepts in secondary schools. The present study was aimed to describe supporting material-based physics literacy model. It employed a sequential mixed method using a quantitative literacy test and a qualitative provision of supporting materials about new renewable energies (NREs). The results showed that secondary school students demonstrated varied literacy in physics concepts and that physics teacher students demonstrated varied depth in their presentations of the supporting materials. In addition, there was a correlation between students' physics literacy level and the ability of physics teacher students to deliver the supporting materials. This study concluded there was a correlation between secondary school students' physics literacy and the provision of supporting materials about NREs. This implied the importance of the provision of supporting materials about NREs to enhance students' physics literacy among secondary school students and physics teacher students.

The use of energy by the major modes and the environmental impact of freight transportation is a problem of increasing importance for future transportation policies. This paper aims to study the relative energy efficiency of the major transport modes, setting up an impartial analysis, improving previous literature substantially. Gabrielli and von Karman have studied the relationship between speed and energy consumption of the most common transport modes. From this pioneering activity different methods for evaluating the energetic performance of vehicles have developed. Initially the maximum vehicle power and theoretical performance limits have been calculated in terms of weight and payload. Energy efficiency has then been evaluated in terms of the first principle of thermodynamics as the mass of the vehicle times distance moved divided by thermal energy used. A more effective analysis can be performed both in terms of vehicle life cycle and in terms of second principle considering the quality and the amount of dissipated amount of useful energy. This paper defines an LCA based model, which could allow an effective comparison between different transport modes classifying them in terms of exergy destruction. In this case, an effective comparison, which considers the quality of used energy, can be performed allowing precise politics for a future more effective evaluation of the transport modes.

“…Nowadays, citizens do not have sufficient literacy in the value of the abundant NMRs yet (Eheazu, 2014;Allman & Daoutidis, 2016;Kusmana & Hikmat, 2015). In order to have sufficient literacy on NMRs they need to obtain enough information through the implementation of briefing and provision of NMRs enrichment teaching materials (Rusli, 2016;Hobson, 2003;Purwanto et al, 2014;Rochman, 2015). Moreover, there are numerous researches on the effort of the improvement in such ability with various strategies (Khaeroningtyas, et al, 2016;Fakhriyah, et al, 2017;Setiawan, et al, 2017;Setiawati & Rusilowati, 2013).…”

This study is aimed at describing the characteristics of basic physics concepts in materials of science literacy enrichment of natural and mineral resources (NMRs) prepared by students of Physics Education Department, Universitas Islam Negeri Sunan Gunung Djati Bandung. The method of data collection for scientific literacy ability of NMRs is obtained from the description of NMRs, results of describing the enrichment materials of NMRs process, the basic concepts of physics, and context as well as attitudes of students towards NMRs through paper enrichment materials. This study was conducted to 15 documents of enrichment materials made by students. The study concluded that: (1) characteristics of students' ability to describe the physics concepts in literacy enrichment materials NMRs show variation; (2) the ability of describing concept of fundamental physics in five NMRs groups being investigated shows a low gains. The study recommends that the application of material needs developing and teaching media literacy enrichment and physical sciences should have more contextual NMRs for secondary, high school and undergraduate students.
