Good evening…everyone
Hajimemashite.
I am Nichaphat DETKAMHAENG, you can call me "TAN", as a master student from Department of Fisheries Products, faculty of Fisheries, Kasetsart university (KU). I am a member of summer school and the comprehensive/specialized subjects of PARE program 2014. Now, I study in faculty of Fisheries at Hakodate university. I am a student of Professor Kunihiko Konno.
I miss my friends…sensei…and everybody in summer school PARE program. I cannot forget everybody that help, recommend, teach and care me (I cannot speak and write as a word). And I don't forget skills from this program that is a basic skill in order to improve more skills. I will keep this memory in my mind.
Now, I start comprehensive/specialized subjects of PARE program. I have Japanese class and Introduction of Fisheries class that start on October 2014.

Self Introduction-Nichaphat DETKAMHAENG
Self-Introduction and Summer School Experiences
Hello…
My name is Ria, a short version of Ratna Patriana. I’m a
master student of Rural Sociology, Bogor Agricultural University, Indonesia. I
join with PARE Program since this year, from Introduction to PARE, Summer
School and Long Semester. All of these programs so far have given me so many
lessons, fruitful experiences and, of course, good friends. The last that I
mentioned was so exceptional, especially after we joined the summer school. Tight
schedule, difficult tasks, happy and sad moments that we shared together have
bounded our friendship, regardless the language barrier and duration of the
program.
We came from different background, which most of the
students were from natural sciences background. Mine is social science which, I
guess, was the one and only in this program. At first I felt afraid that I can’t
follow the lectures, but with the helps from other students, I can understand
the materials. The knowledge that I gained from this program was relatively new
for me, and thankfully each student come from different disciplines, so that we
can share our knowledge and mix it together to build an interconnected idea.
The last summer school program was – how can I say? –
incredible! During that short period of time, we have visited so many places,
from Tomakomai, Ishikari, Ebetsu, Toyako, Mori town, Maruyama zoo until Hakodate. We learnt
so many things, from oil storage, biogas, wind power, hydro power, geothermal
power and many other sustainable energy initiatives. At the end of the
program, we were challenged to build a master plan about sustainable energy
development to overcome the problem in Population, Activities, Resource and
Environment – PARE Chain – in Asia.
Mahatma Gandhi once said, “Freedom is not worth having if it
doesn’t include the freedom to make mistakes.” And because of Freedom is the
power of the youth, Freedom also the power of us too. Even though in the
beginning, making a master plan in a very limited time sounded impossible, with
the power of freedom and without worrying of making mistakes, all of us
eventually finished our group master plan and presented it in an awesome/sugoi/sud-yord/keren-banget way. That was, for me, the biggest
challenge that we had to face in this summer school. And honestly, the idea
that came up from each master plan was extra ordinary. I’m very proud that I
can be the part of this program.
That was my (not very) short introduction and experiences
in PARE Summer School 2014. And now I miss my summer school friends!

-Self Introduction-
Hallo everyone,,.,. Konichiwa minna san,.
I am Laura Flowrensia, please call me 'Rara". I am master student of Silviculture, faculty of Forestry, Bogor Agricultural University (IPB), Indonesia. Thankfully, I am a member of PARE Program 2014, and now I am study at Entomology Sytematics Laboratory, faculty of Agriculture, under guidance of Shinichi Akimoto sensei. And I can't wait to start my laboratory works. Hahahahaha,.
It is already a month that I have been in Hokkaido,.,but it feel like it is Yesterday that I had finished "Summer School PARE Program" complete with the interested-hectic schedules. I can not remember- to forget all the Summer School activities. I still clearly remember Kobayashi sensei lecturer about animal productions, and pesticides and food additives by Hashidoko sensei on the first day of Summer School class at Office of International Affairs (OIA).
I believe everyone have a good remembrances in this PARE Program. Eventhough english not the mother language anyone of us, we keep trying our best to sound our ideas. I am a hundread percent impressed by tenacity of my PARE friends. Miss you PARE friends,.,especially the Summer School ones, and of course,. Hokudate group. 555555555 (LOL).

I said ‘My English is very poor, please help me’ for self-introduction on the first day. Before I participated in PARE Summer School 2014, I was very uneasy because I have never discuss or make a presentation in English and talked with foreign people. But in the opening ceremony, five members of our group 4 talked to me friendly, so I felt to relax a little.
After various lectures and field works in Sapporo, Tomakomai and Toya etc., we thought about a possibility to convert the excrement of human into energy by referring to the biogas plant in Machimura farm we visited on 1 September to propose the positive PARE chain. Then we discuss a master plan mainly focused on the biogas plant with organic orchard using mango and mangosteen trees. In Onuma we repeated a discussion for midterm presentation until midnight every day.
Midterm presentation was over without any accidents. Then we separated into each special field and I learned about the biofarming system for aquaculture in Hakodate. It was a very eco-friendly system that pumps up water for culture using electricity produced by small wind turbine or sollar panel. I introduced this experience in Hakodate to my group members after I was back to Sapporo, but regrettably the idea of aquaculture was not adopted in our master plan because our focus was on biogas plant. Instead, I came to present the introduction, so I investigated the population in the world, in Asia and the amount of excrement of human per a day. We made a heated discussion all day long in the day before final presentation. I sometimes could not follow their English, but everyone found I was confused spoke to me slowly and briefly.
Finally we started final presentation from my introduction, and we were able to do our best presentation. During two weeks, I talked with my group members about many topics, not only serious subject for presentation but also trivial subject such as favorite food, songs and boyfriend/girlfriend and we also sing a song together. I really enjoyed all time with them. I was able to spend best two weeks because everyone really helped me. They are my best friends.
Now in my laboratory, I research on impression evaluation of the coastal landscape with or without wind farm. I was able to learn about various renewable energy including wind power through this summer school, and it broadened my horizons. There are many advantages on wind power, geothermal power and hydropower while there are some disadvantages such as initial cost or establishment space. It is very interesting for me to know about many things on renewable energy. I probably will be able to make use of this good experience in my research.
This summer school for two weeks is my lifetime treasure.

Water
Conservation
The master plan of ours
group discussion is water conservation. The details of discussion talk about
the ways to conserve natural water resources especially ground water. The
main cause of problem are human activities so necessary to think about how to
protect natural water resources from human activities. Why our group focus on
the water resources it is the most important thing that our group discuss at
the first time. Because we think water resources are the most important
factor in food web chain. Ours group separate human activities that effect on
the water resources in 4 main topics. The first one is agriculture, industry,
household and forestry respectively. Most of all in human activities impact
on water resources in the large-scale especially agriculture, industry and
household these thing are the daily activities that destroy water resources
when water resources be affected by some factor it can effected food web
chain too. Rapid growth in population make food demand increase too so if we
don’t conserve the water resources in the present it will be make the
negative impact in the large-scale in the future. Ours group the master plan
suggested the way to conserve water resources by conservation and wisely
consume method. The method to conservation and wisely consume the water
resources by in agriculture activities we don’t excess water use in
cultivation and protected water contamination from chemical that use in
agriculture process. Industry and household activities often make the
qualities of water resources decrease in ours group master plan the solution
idea that we use for treat the poor condition water from industry and
household activities are the sea weed pond. We use sea weed to absorb and
treat the water and then sent to the aquaculture pond this method help us to
conserve water and decrease water consume in this activities. Forestry
conservation related to water resources if forestry low remains it had the
big impact to natural water resources. Our master plan propose in the micro
hydro power plant by choose the hill land to use benefit from water fall. The
main benefit we will produce electricity from water fall by independent micro
electricity. The electricity from this micro hydro power plant will use for
supply in the small village because we think the small scale can control the
activities more easier than big cities scale. In the village we will make the
activities to be the unities for control easier.
In our master plan
village we will research about effect of micro hydro electricity on water
consume efficiency in small village. This research will conduct in our master
plan village to study about the efficiency of water consume when produce
electricity by hydro power. Because in my opinion when we used the water
resources in another way it can effect other way water consume so this
research will help us to evaluate the point that are most optimized to use
water power to produce electricity to supply village and which point are most
optimized to use water resources to supply human activities demand.

In my group discuss will focus on “Daily Energy Saving as an effort toward” about “The Sustainable Use of Fossil Fuels And Land Resources” and “Sustainable Development in Urban and Rural Areas”. As know from PARE chain, I found several problems related to the increasing demand of energy. In population the problem is high density of population. In the activity side the problem is the increasing of urban lifestyle that consumes more energy such as smart device. Our group use negative impacts of PARE chain into positive through the development of sustainable energy, which is connected into our daily life activity. In the resource side the problem of land use competition between food and energy crop will be answer the problem of environment. In this case high dependency of fossil fuel especially for the supply of electricity. And implementation of policy of electricity usage limitation and use solar power and wind power. Limitation of electricity supply for every household and industries is needed to reduce fossil fuel burning for electricity. The implications of this policy eventually will not only reduce demand of fossil fuel by electricity’s company but also will force industries and middle-upper class society to provide their own electricity. The negative impact of urban lifestyle will solve by solar glass technology.
I propose in part of lifestyle by solar glass technology. The idea of solar windows has been around for some time now, and a number of different approaches—from spray-on solar cells to just really thin film possibilities—are under investigation. Though these are promising, the underlying issue with many of the ideas is that in order for them to work they need to stop some amount of light from getting through the window. And tinted windows are fine, in some situations, but too much tint turns a window into a wall. But not with a new idea out of Michigan State University, where researchers have created a solar concentrator that, if the efficiency is revved up, would provide truly clear, glass-like generators of solar power.
The team, led by Yimu Zhao of Michigan State's department of chemical engineering and materials science, achieved this by "exploiting the excitonic nature of organic luminescent salts that provide perfectly tuned near-infrared-selective absorption and even deeper near-infrared emission." The organic molecules are tuned to absorb only ultraviolet and those near-infrared wavelengths; they then "glow" at a different infrared wavelength. That second wavelength light is guided by the material to the edge of the plastic substrate and converted to electricity by thin bits of standard photovoltaic cells.
That means that no electricity production is actually done in the middle of the cell. With other "transparent" solar ideas, they are actually marred by tiny wires, or just require tinted or colored glass to absorb any of the usable wavelengths of light. "No one wants to sit behind colored glass," said the senior author of the paper, Richard Lunt, in a press release. "It makes for a very colorful environment, like working in a disco.
They take an approach where they actually make the luminescent active layer transparent." The transparency is assured because the organic molecules only "glow" in infrared, which humans can't see. The result, at least for us: a clear window. Compare that image above to, just for example, New Energy Technologies' spray-on solar window, at left.
The key roadblock, as with most any solar power idea, is efficiency. The Michigan State team has its prototype up to only about one-percent efficiency, far below what might be considered useful. The researchers say they hope to get it up to around 5 percent, and if it proves cheap to mass produce, then that would be plenty for some applications. And obviously, clear solar power does have a lot of applications: the obvious ones are the skyscrapers glimmering in most big cities these days, but Lunt said this could also be applied for smartphones or tablets as a self-charging screen that doesn't affect visual quality.

Increasing
human activity has a significant impact on energy. Most of the use
of energy by human
activities such as energy resources are non-renewable.
These problems can cause problems, especially electrical energy crisis. Electrical energy is the energy that
is necessary for humans. Can not imagine what would happen if electricity
production is not proportional to the demand. Power outages and all activity
came to a standstill, including economic activity. In order to meet increasing
electricity and fuel saving measures petroleum, efforts need to be done to look
for potential sources of renewable energy in all parts of Indonesia such as water
potential, wind, geothermal or sunlight.
The geographical condition of Indonesia, which consists of
small islands and remote causes many difficult to reach by the power grid are
centralized. To meet energy needs in these areas, one type of energy is
potential to develop solar energy. Due to the location of Indonesia located on
the equator, Indonesia has a solar radiation levels are extremely high.
According to the measurement from the center of Meteorology and Geophysics
Agency estimated the radiation falling on the surface of the Earth Indonesia (particularly
Eastern Indonesia) on average approximately 5.1 kWh / m2 day. Thus, solar
energy can be utilized for electricity providers in order to speed up rural
electrification ratio.
In
the utilization of solar energy that can be used
solar panels convert
solar energy directly
into electrical energy. The use of
solar panels as a
source of energy engineering
in electrical energy generation can be said to not produce
pollution, both air
pollution and pollution of the surrounding environment. The advantage of the
economic utilization of the solar cell is
1.
Save,
because it does not require fuel
2.
Can
be installed anywhere and can be moved as required
3.
Characteristically
modular. The capacity of the electricity produced can be adjusted by means of
assembling the modules in series and parallel
4.
Can
be operated automatically or using the operating
5.
Without
sound and do not cause pollution
Based on these considerations, photovoltaic conversion of
sunlight into electrical energy will be the main energy source of the future,
especially when conventional energy sources (coal, petroleum and natural gas)
is up. In addition, the price of conventional energy sources will continue to
be higher and supply is also very limited, while the photovoltaic prices will
gradually fall due to abundant raw material on earth.
Furthermore, the electrical energy generated from the solar
panels, can be used for a variety of uses, for example in the field of marine.
Utilization of solar cells as power supply lighting equipment to move the ship
or boat with the help of electric motors. With the requirement for electricity
to drive the growth of economic activity, improving intelligence where children
can learn and encourage the growth of settlements and welfare of the local
community, so as to support the creation of a prosperous society and in the
region to support regional development.
Water: H2 power plant as Empowerment of local area
By: Ricky Andi Syahputra
Increasing of population led to increase human activities that negatively impact the environment and energy sources become unbalanced. There were a densely
populated area and sparse population; they were associated with logging because of an unbalanced
economy. To overcome
this problem, our group made a master plan based on the development of the local area. Development was done in the energy sector
and the empowerment of people through education and technology. To realize our master plan, we
used some sectors
such as aquaculture / agriculture: cultivated
fisheries, rice cultivation and Vegetable. Eco-tourism: building
sites and building
the creative industries (handicraft). Development of local
society is very
important; because it have to be self-sufficient
local society do
not rely on the central
government. The development
of our local communities can increase local incomes. Local community
development by building several
communities who were concerned about their local society and communities like
community creative
energy.
Creative community
is a community that empowers people
through the use of natural resources
from the area. This
community aims to develop the mindset of the people about self-reliance and
hard work in developing
regions. For example, like
to make a special menu that is made of the results
of aquaculture such as fish and shrimp and vegetables that
come from agriculture. Make
a few handcraft typical of the region to increase the people's
income. Community energy
is a caring community to expand energy
sources in an affluent. These communities use natural resources found in the area, for example as in the Yubari city utilize
ground water to
make micro hydro power
plant that can meet the electricity needs
of the region. This area has a small
stream of water (1 kWh) to produce electricity
that is small anyway. If the excess power
generated can be sold
to the electricity industry so as to increase
the income of the local community. Because electricity produced is small then we can utilize water as the output of the
process micro hydro power into electricity (H2
power plant).
In the environmental field,
H2 power plant is producing electricity which has very small emissions, because emissions are
released in the form of water vapor (figure
1). H2 power plant designed with the utilization
of galvanic cells. H2 power plant based on water by
adding chemicals such as Al, Na, Ca and others to split
water molecules into hydrogen gas and hydrogen gas
is used as fuel in
a reactor that
can produce electricity. Increasing energy produced
can become a source of income of the area. If
the source of the excess energy produced can
be sold to energy companies.
Based on the our
master plan is expected to increase
income sparsely populated areas so as to attract
the attention of society who
live in densely populated places to move to the place that is sparsely
populated. Resulting in population
distribution and the
establishment of the welfare of
all society. To improve the welfare of the society there has to be communication between the university (scientist),
companies, and governments.
So that society concerns
can be resolved.
