The production of neighborhoods on a large or mass scale has not been successful. Procuring the neighborhood ideal requires an attention to detail that few large corporations or government agencies seem capable of instituting. Yet planned neighborhoods have definite pluses: institutionalized leadership, clearly defined social and spatial boundaries, and a sense of control. What is needed is an approach that combines the best of both worlds—a dose of planning, with plenty of flexibility and local empowerment.

Intelligence Policy has often been heard in the realm of law, especially with government agencies held in Indonesia. One of them is the immigration agency, which is under the auspices of the Ministry of Law and Human Rights. The implementation of the policy is still minimal, although in fact it is contained in article 1 of Law No. 6 of 2011 number 30, as well as article 74. There are still many that need to be addressed, both in the applicable legal rules and with implementation in the field. The fact that sometimes the Immigration Officer is sometimes mixed in its own definition of intelligence and oversight. Are they the same or different and how to distinguish the two. Recognizing the fact that immigration is increasingly compacted by traffic activities in and out of foreigners and citizens and their supervision, a qualified intelligence is needed in maintaining the upholding of the country's sovereignty. It is an obligation, especially for immigration to safeguard the country as stated in the immigration function, is part of the affairs of the state government in providing Immigration services, law enforcement, state security, and community welfare development facilitators. Therefore, immigration should take part in enforcing supervision and security of the state in the field of law. Immigration intelligence which is under the auspices of the Directorate of Intelligence and immigration enforcement should need to be developed more thoroughly as a whole. So, it is hoped that in the future the Indonesian state will have total sovereignty over the country and its own people.

This research aims to determine the effect of the reporting system and the clarity of the budget target on the accountability of the performance of Aceh Government Agencies, the formulation of the problem in this study is whether there is an effect on the reporting system and clarity of budget targets on the accountability of Aceh Government performance both simultaneously and partially.Data collection uses a questionnaire, and is analyzed qualitatively and converted into quantitative data using a Likert Scale. Data analysts to see the effect of dependent variables with independent variables using analysis of multiple linear regression equations.The population of this study amounted to 84 respondents, who were examined by the Head of Section (Head of Section) and Head of Division (Head) in Aceh Government Agencies. The results of the study found that the reporting system and the clarity of budget targets simultaneously had a significant effect on the performance of the Aceh Government. The partial reporting system has a significant effect on the accountability of the performance of Aceh Government Agencies. Clarity of budget targets partially has a significant effect on the accountability of the performance of Aceh Government Agencies. The reporting system has more dominant influence on the accountability of the performance of Aceh Government Agencies. It is expected that in the future the Aceh Government will pay more attention to the clarity of the budget goals in budgeting, because the results of the research regression coefficients have the smallest effect on the accountability of the performance of Aceh Government agencies in clarity of budget targets, with the hope that these variables will have greater influence on the accountability of Agency performance The Aceh Government in the future.

The pandemic of the COVID-19 virus brought several changes, including those that shook the world of work. Some transformations were already in progress and others were expected at a later time, leading us to believe that this health crisis would have had an impact on the estimated forecasts for the future of work. This article proposes to outline a reflection on the world of work in the future, considering as a reference the changes that are already in force and comparing them to the predictions highlighted for the decade from 2018 to 2028 through great theoretical references in the areas related to the management of people and technology. The conclusions expose a truth that, in practice, can be inconvenient: this global pandemic forced us to anticipate the agenda related to the future of work and the market - including companies, employees, government agencies and consumers - was not ready for this rupture.

With the noteworthy spurt of service orientation (SO) principles, the spur and surge for composition paradigm have taken a fabulous and fruitful dimension and perspective. Composites are emerging and establishing as the promising, proven and potential building-blocks in the pulsating ICT space. Enterprises are very optimistic and sensitive about the shining days of composites in their day-to-day dealings and obligations to their restive partners, government agencies, venerable customers, demanding end-users, and loyal employees. In short, composites are bound to increasingly and illuminatingly participate and contribute towards fulfilling the goals of realizing integrated, optimized, smart and lean business processes that in turn can lead to extended, connected, adaptive, and on-demand businesses. As next-generation ICT is presumed to thrive on spontaneous and seamless collaboration among systems, services, servers, sensors, etc. by sending messages as well as smartly sharing a wider variety of connected and empowered resources, there arises a distinct identity and value for progressive, penetrative and pervasive composites. Already we started to read, hear and experience composite applications, services, and views. As composition is to flower and flourish in a positive fashion, the future IT is definitely on right track. In this chapter, you can find discussions about how rapidly and smoothly services enable business-aligned composites realization. There are sections dealing with prominent composition paradigms, patterns, platforms, processes, practices, products, perspectives, problems and potentials.

This concluding chapter uses the example of a 1965 study by social psychologist Melvin Lerner and another later study he conducted with Carolyn Simmons to introduce the thesis of this book. These experiments lead to the Just World Hypothesis. In this, Lerner argued that, to gain a basic sense of control, people needed to believe that the world (or at least the environment relevant to themselves) is fundamentally just. The central thesis of this book is not quite as clear-cut as that, rather it has been that the rise of finance is a fundamental cause of the growing economic inequality in the United States. This concluding chapter goes on to expand on that thesis. Finally, it looks beyond the United States and to the future.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to highlight the relationship between lifestyles, household and household wastes, by exploring possible future development path for the lifestyle and the possible consequences for household waste composition. The study predicates on a reasonably simple and straightforward idea that the waste generated from homes is a product of the way the people live and since the way of life of people change overtime, getting an idea of how people may live in future may give an insight into the sorts of composition of waste produced by them. It tends to provide a contribution to the evidence base on household waste at a general level. Design/methodology/approach The overall approach hinged on the notion that the household is the appropriate analytical unit of household waste production composition. This specified inputs needed to develop scenarios for future waste composition. The weekly generation of sorted wastes from their various sources was determined by direct measurement in kilograms on a weighing scale. Questionnaires were administered to elicit information on key drivers and factors that influence lifestyles scenarios and their development. Interviews were conducted with relevant stakeholders and government agencies on waste management. Findings The results indicated that food related waste constituted the major percentages and tonnages (44 percent, 269,870 tons) of household waste, while the least portion was glass (1.2 percent,7,278 tons). The key drivers responsible for generation of food waste include level of income, subsistence farming that generate organic food waste and rise in fast food outfits that give preference to readymade food over cooking at homes. The drivers for developing future scenarios include population, government regulations, nature of apartment, level of income, consumer spending, management technology. Three scenarios were developed: status quo trends, strong government and destination point. Research limitations/implications Models should be developed for better simulation studies of lifestyle scenarios by quantifying household wastes in terms of carbon footprint and money instead of relying on quantities generated in tons. Further studies should extend to other sources of waste such as industrial waste, electrical and electronic waste, among others. The implication from research findings shows the need for sustained for sustained awareness on people’s lifestyle with regard to handling of household wastes by government agencies, institutions and non-governmental organizations. Scenario planning is required to enable, encourage and engage householders to make changes in their lifestyles. Practical implications Food waste, by virtue of its tonnage and percentage composition, dominated the overall picture during the study period and will continue to do so in the near future. The composition of household waste in the future will be driven by the population and lifestyles of the householders. The drivers of lifestyles are crucial factors that determine the picture of the future. Furthermore, it is possible to conjecture circumstances in which household waste is converted to wealth at the destination point but the period before then imply some radical changes in both lifestyles and underlying economic growth facilitated by a strong political will. Originality/value This research could be of enormous benefit to policy makers, practitioners and others with an interest in or responsibility to the development and implementation of sustainable waste management. Scenarios are devices for enabling organizations and the individuals within them better to understand their operating environment, so as to make better decisions. This research is a scenario-planning exercise, considering how future changes in lifestyles of people in Port Harcourt metropolis now and in future may impact on the future composition of wastes they generate.

Algorithms form an increasingly important part of our daily lives, even if we are often unaware of it. They are enormously useful in many different ways. They facilitate the sharing economy, help detect diseases, assist government agencies in crime control, and help us choose what series or film to watch. Yet, there is also a darker side to algorithms, and that is that they (and their applications) can easily interfere with our fundamental rights. This column explores some of the main fundamental rights challenges set by the pervasiveness of algorithms, and it presents a brief outlook for the future.

How are historical, practice-oriented, and critical research perspectives in management affected by digitalization? In this article, we describe and discuss how two digital research approaches can be applied and how they may influence the future directions of management scholarship and education: Social Media Analytics and digital archives. Our empirical illustrations suggest that digitalization generates productivity improvements for scholars, making it possible to undertake research that was previously too laborious. It also enables researchers to pay closer attention to detail while still being able to abstract and generalize. We therefore argue that digitalization contributes to a historical turn in management, that practice-oriented research can be conducted with less effort and improved quality and that micro-level data in the form of digital archives and online contents make it easier to adopt critical perspectives.
