The research examines interview transcripts of 26 aged Israelis who're describing their very own loss of life, utilizing the dramaturgy research strategy. The research identifies 8 meaning-taking ideas used to build the ''good death'': utilizing tale within the type of drama; describing a number of situations; assuming the director and playwright roles in various levels; explaining what a great demise isn't; evaluating past reviews with dying; utilizing questions, similes, and metaphors; commenting with sarcastic comments and black humor; and describing desires. A composite drama, because of the tales of all individuals, is gifted in 3 acts, together with the time sooner than demise, the upcoming loss of life, and the funeral. each one dramatic episode is developed by way of descriptions of the script, goal, motion region, actors, and performances. the final word purpose of a drama is to set up new meanings of demise and its aftermath for actors and viewers, that is to take care of and advertise continuity of one's id, historical past, and legacy.

Perers et al. [10] measured a polymeric absorber with high thermal conductivity under outdoor conditions. Within T44A38, Bunea et al. 1 Solar collectors 27 compared both models under Swiss weather conditions with 5 days of field measurements of a selective, rear side insulated, unglazed collector. The maximum error of the daily yield was determined to be approximately 50% for condensation gains [6,11], although the deviations were much smaller under most operation conditions and are not detectable for longer operation periods.
10 Percentage of individual types of heating systems (space heating and DHW) for residential buildings that are combined with solar thermal systems. 10 shows that the share of combined heat pumps is low when compared with gas, oil, wood, and consequently with the residential sector in general. At least to some extent, these differences can be explained by German building regulations demanding a renewable energy share in new building heating systems. Contrary to heat pumps, which are accepted as partly renewable even without solar components, it is more common to combine oil or gas with solar thermal energy to meet the requirements.
The maximum error of the daily yield was determined to be approximately 50% for condensation gains [6,11], although the deviations were much smaller under most operation conditions and are not detectable for longer operation periods. The high deviations under certain conditions are explained by the simplifying assumption of constant values for surface emissivity, internal thermal heat conductivity, or convective heat loss coefficient of the absorber. In fact, the models displayed excellent accordance to reality for outdoor measurements and longer periods that include condensation and nighttime operation [10,11].
