The Horse 2023

Environment & Technology

Plan for today (09.05.2023)

These are my goals for today lessons:

- I feel like some of my The Horse posts are a bit disorganized. I would like to change that today and bring some structure in. Some articles are still [in progress] wheter they are already finished or reverse. ✔️

- Gather information for the final product. Study the framework conditions. Try to achieve them. ✔️

- In the afternoon I try (once again) to reach Ms Kappeler. —> Unfortunately, (once again) I did not reach her. ❌

 

Plan what to do today, 9 May

Yesterday we received a reply from a newspaper that is interested in publishing our article. They asked us to provide them with the following information.

  • Provide background information on our article to the newspaper as requested
  • Create portrait pictures
  • find/create a suitable image for the article
  • Revise graphics and create separate files

This post was published by Damian and Christian together.

The Daily Sea Surface Temperature of the oceans - it's alarming

To the interactive graphics (climatereanalyzer.org)

The oceans are reaching record temperatures - and could soon "pay us back"
A new, rapidly advancing warming of the oceans has been alarming for days and weeks. So much so, in fact, that researchers are still reluctant to comment on its effects.

To the article in German (watson.ch)

Die Oberflächentemperatur der Ozeane ist auf ein neues Hoch gestiegen. Die Schweizer Klimawissenschaftler Thomas Frölicher und Reto Knutti ordnen ein.

IDAF - Status udpate 03.05.2023

Since a lot has happened in the last week, I would like to give herewith a new overview of the IDAF and the newspapers. I was able to communicate with various newspapers, mostly by phone. I was able to meet new people and gain experience. So I realized that I would be very uncomfortable if my article was published in a bigger newspaper. The topic of wastewater treatment is huge and I have only seen a small glimpse of it. The likelihood of my article containing errors or misformations is just too big for me. Even if it says in an extra field that it is a student project. But now to the individual updates: More...

final draft for newspaper "umweltnetz-schweiz" (Abwasserreinigung - Ein unbekanntes Privileg)

Abwasserreinigung – Ein unbekanntes Privileg

 

Haben Sie sich auch schon gefragt, was eigentlich mit dem Wasser passiert, nachdem es den Abfluss verlassen hat? Klar, es geht in eine Kläranlage und wird gereinigt. Aber welche Stationen muss es dafür durchlaufen, und was genau passiert mit dem Abwasser dort? Im Rahmen eines Schulprojektes konnte ich diesen Fragen auf den Grund gehen. Der folgende Text soll einen groben Überblick über die Abwasserreinigung geben und keinesfalls als wissenschaftliche Arbeit verstanden werden. Er teilt den Einblick eines interessierten Laien für eine Laiin oder einen Laien. More...

A few interesting websites about wastewater treatment

To complement my visit to the ARA in Rüti, I have picked out a few websites that can provide me with even more information. However, it is not research, but more of a help.

The collaboration remains exciting

It has been about two weeks since I last had contact with Ms Kappeler by e-mail. I am still very happy that she wants to help me with my project. Unfortunately, she is always on the road and it is difficult to get in touch with her. I thought it would be easier if I just gave her a call and we made an appointment. Unfortunately, despite my numerous attempts, she has never picked up the phone. Even leaving a message on the answering machine didn't help. I assume she is abroad on business and has no opportunity to make a phone call. Anyway, I will try again, again by phone. Wish me luck!

Recommendations for your "good to print"

Dear E&T Student

Thank you for your IDAF work on The Horse and your engagement. As mentioned, in addition to the content, the process of a work is also important, as well as the communication skills and the context.

Recommendation 1: nothing may be published without my consent!
I want to be able to see the final draft before publication, i.e. report via teams with link to FINAL article on The Horse.

Recommendation 2: All articles, whether for print media or online media, must contain the following text either at the beginning or at the end:

Dieser Artikel entstand im Rahmen des "The Horse" Konzepts: Seit 2016 erhalten Jugendliche und junge Erwachsene die Möglichkeit, kollaborative Umweltprojekte in einem internationalen Kontext zu realisieren und auf www.dontwastemy.energy zu veröffentlichen. So können wichtige berufliche, soziale, sprachliche und mediale Kompetenzen in einem realen Umfeld trainiert werden. Infos: www.teachingweb.org

If you have any questions or uncertainties, please do not hesitate to contact me. Now I wish everyone a wonderful vacation season.

Best, E. Suter

PS: Often the text is changed or shortened by the publisher. Even small changes can change the content or are ambiguous. As a rule, you should receive a version before the "Druckfreigabe - good to print". I would then like to check this version again so that all possible errors can be corrected. (Quality control;)
