Melting the ice – receding glaciers in the American Cordillera
No full textThis communique from the Inter-American Institute (IAI) focuses on the effect of glacier retreat and the accelerating loss of ice cover in tropical and sub-tropical mountainous regions of South America. Glaciers in the tropical Andes show the greatest losses. IAI-sponsored work on glacier studies, in particular on climate variability and change in southern South America is ongoing. Several major Andean cities rely heavily on glacier and snowmelt for their water supply. Studies in and around La Paz (Bolivia) show demand increasingly outstripping the supply of water - a process that will be exacerbated by ongoing temperature changes
Education at IAI Kindergarten in 1950s
Full text link遺愛幼稚園は,遺愛女学校に附属する幼稚園として,明治28(1895)年,北海道函館市元町に創立された。遺愛幼稚園は女学校の敷地内に新築園舎を建てて開設されたが,明治40(1907)年の大火で焼失,現在地に新築して保育を再開したのは大正2(1913)年のことである。この大正新築園舎および,創立より昭和初期までの保育実践については,既に発表した。本論文は,その後の昭和二十年代の保育について,その内容と方法を明らかにすることを主たる目的としたものである。分析考察には幼稚園保存の史料を用いた。また,この時期の保育の背景として,昭和二十年代の我が国における幼稚園教育に関する各種の文書の成立過程や内容についても紹介している。The author introduces IAI Kindergarten in Hakodate, Hokkaido, the big northern island of Japan. IAI Kindergarten was established by the Women's Foreign Missionary Society of the American Methodist Episcopal Church in 1895 by missionaries from IAI Jogakko (the girls' high school) from the United States of America. This article examines the fundamental principles and methods, following orthodox Frobel theory, of IAI Kindergarten during the Showa era. Needless to say, the education of IAI Kindergarten was based on Christian faith and the enthusiasm of the American missionaries. Although IAI Kindergarten once closed in 1907 due to a big fire in Hakodate, since then its work has never ceased. After the fire, the school reopened in 1913 with the prayers of the missionaries and the strong demands and wishes of people in Hakodate. In this paper, the author focuses on the above-mentioned educational methods of IAI Kindergarten during the Showa era, especially during the 1950s.departmental bulletin pape
DEVELOPING WRITING TEXTBOOK FOR THIRD SEMESTER STUDENTS OF IAI AL-QOLAM GONDANGLEGI MALANG
Full text linkObservasi peneliti pada sebuah kampus yang terletak di wilayah Malang selatan yaitu IAI Al-Qolam Malang menemukan bahwa pada Program Studi Tadris Bahasa Inggris belum memiliki buku ajar yang sesuai untuk mata kuliah writing dikarenakan jurusan ini masih baru berdiri tepatnya pada tahun 2015. Kebutuhan akan ketersediaan buku ajar untuk mata kuliah writing yang sesuai pada Program Studi Tadris Bahasa Inggris mendorong peneliti untuk mengembangkan bahan ajar untuk pengajaran writing. Langkah analisis buku yang tersedia pada took-toko buku terdekat sudah dilaksanakan dengan cara mengunjungi tooko-toko buku yang ada di Malang. Pada langkah ini, peneliti menemukan beberapa buku writing yang tersedia pada toko-toko buku terdekat dari kampus IAI Al-Qolam kurang sesuai dengan kurikulum Tadris Bahasa Inggris IAI Al-Qolam. Seiring dengan kondisi tersebut, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengembangkan buku ajar untuk mata kuliah writing 1 Tadris Bahasa Inggris IAI Al-Qolam yang akan dipergunakan oleh mahasiswa semester 3. Kurikulum Tadris Bahasa Inggris IAI AL-Qolam merupakan pedoman materi yang dipergunakan dalam penulisan buku ajar ini. Terdapat 12 bab yang bisa dipergunakan untuk mendampingi mahasiswa dalam perkuliahan writing selama satu semester. Buku ajar untuk mata kuliah writing ini di tulis dengan melalui beberapa tahapan. Tahapan-tahapan itu adalah “validasi dari para ahli, uji coba lapangan dan perbaikan-perbaikan berdasarkan dari saran-saran ahli serta hasil pengamatan lapa-ngan agar buku ajar lebih siap digunakan. Produk dari penelitian pengembangan ini diharapkan mampu memberikan kontribusi yang positif terhadap para dosen dan mahasiswa agar dapat melaksanakan kegiatan pembelajaran dengan baik.

TANTANGAN LEMBAGA PENJAMINAN MUTU INTERNAL IAI BUNGA BANGSA CIREBON DI ERA MASYARAKAT EKONOMI ASEAN (MEA)
No full textMasyarakat Ekonomi ASEAN (MEA) sebagai bentuk integrasi ekonomi ASEAN menyuguhkan tantangan sekaligus peluang bagi setiap anggota masyarakat ASEAN. Anggota masyarakat ASEAN akan mampu berkiprah dengan baik jika memiliki kompetensi yang unggul. Kompetensi yang unggul dapat dibangun melalui pendidikan tinggi yang berkualitas. Pendidikan tinggi yang berkualitas merupakan pendidikan yang memiliki falsafah quality is the first. Dalam konteks IAI Bunga Bangsa Cirebon, falsafah quality is the first akan terwujud jika Lembaga Penjaminan Mutu Internal memiliki kapasitas untuk mengaktualisasikan setidaknya tiga hal yakni membangun budaya mutu, integrasi dengan IT, dan diversifikasi program studi
IAI-CGM: a framework for intention to adopt IoT-enabled continuous glucose monitors
No full textDiabetes has been on the rise around the world, especially in Saudi Arabia, where the changing lifestyle is pushing the nation towards being more sedentary without cutting back on calorie consumption. It has become imperative for Saudi Arabia to provide self-empowerment opportunities for its citizens in order to monitor their blood glucose levels. An effective method for monitoring blood glucose levels is using Internet of Things Enabled Continuous Glucose Monitors (IoT-CGM), but there are concerns of adoption as it is heavily reliant on an emerging application of technology. This study proposes an adoption model for IoT-CGMs, which has been named Intention to Adopt IoT-enabled Continuous Glucose Monitors (IAI-CGM). The IAI-CGM is based on the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), and takes three factors into consideration; Practical, Technological, and User Behaviour. The model hypotheses the relationship between the constructs of each of the factors with adoption intention. The model is being developed for the Saudi Arabian population to lay the groundworks for future development. The method by which IAI-CGM framework has been developed is based on identifying the factors of adoption from the literature review. Particularly, TAM, and technology adoption intentions in Saudi Arabia have significant contribution to the development of IAI-CGM. It is expected that using this framework, the readiness for Saudi Arabian T1DM patients to adopt IoT-CGMs can be determined. The study is the first of its kind, and therefore has novel implications for the development of similar frameworks for wearable or attached health monitoring devices for other diseases, and for patients in other regions
