Peran GMIT Ebenhezer Fatumnasi terhadap Jemaat yang Masih Melakukan Kebiasan di Dalam Ume Kbubu Anin-Fuka
No full textPermasalahan yang membuat Penulis tertarik untuk diteliti yaitu Peran GMIT Ebenhezer Fatumnasi terhadap jemaat yang masih melakukan kebiasaan di dalam Ume Kbubu Anin-Fuka. Permasalahan yang diteliti oleh penulis dalam penelitian ini yaitu mengapa masyarakat Fatumnasi masih tetap mempertahankan kebiasaan di dalam Ume Kbubu Anin-Fuka dan mengetahui bagaimana Peran GMIT Ebenhezer Fatumnasi terhadap Jemaat yang masih melakukan kebiasaan di dalam Ume Kbubu Anin-Fuka. Tujuan penulis melakukan penelitian ini adalah untuk Memperoleh gambaran yang utuh tentang kehidupan masyarakat Fatumnasi yang masih tetap mempertahankan kebiasaan di dalam Ume Kbubu Anin-Fuka, dan selanjutnya mendeskripsikan Peran GMIT Ebenhezer Fatumnasi terhadap Jemaat yang masih melakukan kebiasaan di dalam Ume Kbubu Anin-Fuka, dari hasil penelitian yang dilakukan, ditemukannya jawaban bahwa Ume Kbubu Anin-Fuka merupakan simbol indentitas bagi masyarakat Fatumnasi yang harus dijaga dan dilestarikan secara turun temurun dari generasi ke generasi, di dalam Ume Kbubu Anin-Fuka tersebut masih dilakukannya kebiasaan oleh masyarakat setempat berupa ritual-ritual adat yang merupakan bentuk penghormatan masyarakat setempat terhadap nenek moyang mereka. Gerejapun memiliki peran dalam kebudayaan Ume Kbubu Anin-Fuka dimana adanya pelayanan terhadap jemaat berupa kegiatan-kegiatan gerejawi dan budaya yang melibatkan masyarakat setempat. gerejapun ikut serta dalam acara-acara adat yang dilakukan oleh masyarakat di dalam Ume Kbubu Anin-Fuka tersebut, dengan cara membawakan doa sebelum dilakukannya acara-acara adat atau ritual adat di dalam Ume Kbubu tersebut, gerejapun aktif dalam menjalankan tugas dan perannya berupa pelayanan kasih, pelayanan diakonia bagi masyarakat Fatumnasi hal ini merupakan bentuk dukungan gereja terhadap kebiasaan yang ada di dalam Ume Kbubu Anin-Fuka. Penulis menggunakan metode penelitian pengumpulan data untuk mendapatkan data mengenai gambaran atau obyek yang diteliti. Pendekatan yang penulis gunakan adalah pendekatan kualitatif, dengan metode teknik wawancara, observasi, dan analisis data
Investigation of membrane electrode assembly (MEA) for fuel cells
No full textTitle: Investigation of membrane electrode assembly (MEA) for fuel cells Author: Šimon Fuka Department: Department of surface and plasma science Supervisor: doc. Mgr. Iva Matolínová, Dr., Department of surface and plasma science Abstract: This bachelor thesis is focused on the study of degradation of the fuel cell, specifically on the study of the catalyst diffusion into the membrane and of the chemical and morphological changes at the interface. The catalyst is prepared by magnetron sputtering directly on the membrane. Morphological changes at the interface will be monitored either by scanning electron microscope (SEM) or by using the focused ion beam (FIB). Diffusion of the catalyst will be observed using energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). The bachelor thesis will contribute to the lifetime of the fuel cell type PEMFC (proton exchange membrane fuel cell). Keywords: Catalyst, Diffusion, Membrane, Fuel cell, SE
Japan’s Foreign Aid Sanctions Policy after the End of Cold War
No full textDuring the Cold War, Japan seldom showed an interest in the political conditions in aid recipients. However, after the Cold War, Japan has been actively imposing negative aid sanctions (the suspension or a decrease in foreign aid) on recipient countries where undesirable policy changes occur, while positive aid sanctions (an increase in foreign aid) would be applied to aid recipients that conduct desirable polices in the light of Japan’s ODA Charter. Overall, from 1986 to 2002, two trends can be observed in Japan’s aid sanctions policy. First, the Japanese government refrained from taking strict measures against countries that maintain strong economic and diplomatic relations with Japan. Second, even if Tokyo did take punitive measure against those countries it softened its stance as soon as a convenient pretext could be found. All this indicates that policymakers in Tokyo still give priority to Japan’s economic interests.Japan, Aid Sanctions
The Role of Non-governmental Organisations (NGOs) in Japan’s Foreign Aid Policy
No full textThe reinforcement of the Non-governmental organisations’ role in Japan’s ODA program is a challenging task. However, if this objective is achieved, at least three advantages could ensue. Firstly, Japanese NGOs would be able to independently carry out the small-scale aid projects that directly address the needs of local communities in aid recipient countries. These grassroots aid projects could complement the government-supervised large-scale aid projects. Secondly, the Japanese government could utilize NGOs’ staff as an alternative source of information. Finally, effective co-operation between NGOs and the government could help enhancing the transparency of Japan’s foreign aid policy. Under the current system, bureaucrats dominate the policymaking process so that it is difficult for outsiders to access the information on Japan’s ODA program.Foreign Aid, NGOs, Japan

A note on spatial averaging and shear stresses within urban canopies
No full textOne-dimensional urban models embedded in mesoscale models may place a few grid points within the urban canopy. This requires an accurate parametrization for shear stresses (i.e. vertical momentum fluxes) including dispersive stress and momentum sinks at these points. We used a case study with a packing density 33\% and checked rigorously the vertical variation of spatially averaged total shear stress, which can be used in a one-dimensional column urban model. We found that the intrinsic spatial average, in which the volume or area of the solids parts were not included in the average process, yielded greater time-spatial average of total stress within the canopy and a more evident abrupt change at the top of the buildings than the comprehensive spatial average, in which the volume or area of the solids parts were included in the average
