Cyber security education is an important and pertinent topic as it plays a major role in mitigating the risks caused by a global shortage of cyber security experts. In order to better support this crucial function, a cyber security skills framework needs to be agreed upon by academics in this field, along with an increase in the visibility of cyber security education and training. Without these, there is likely to be a long-term shortfall between the number of skilled cyber security professionals and demand, potentially leaving organisations, institutions, and governments vulnerable. Our contribution to this challenge is threefold. Firstly this article addresses the development of a cyber security skills framework and its applicability. Secondly, we have analysed a sample of 87 study programs in order to produce an overview of cyber security topic areas. Moreover, the collected data are visualized in an interactive map, i.e. a dynamic web application with the aim to help students in their search for a cyber security study program. Finally, a cyber security curricula designer tool is proposed; this application would serve as a guideline for cyber security curricula designers.

The Study Program of Landscaping and Gardening (Program Studi Lanskap dan Pertamanan (LDP)), one of the study programs at SMKN 63 Jagakarsa, South Jakarta, needs guidance related to learning materials of landscape design. The purpose of providing landscape design materials for school members (teachers and students) is to increase the knowledge and skills of making landscape designs and optimize the function and beauty of the school's out space. It supports the  behavior of the environmental awareness that the Adiwiyata program promotes. Community service activities in the form of socialization and training so that school members can design the landscape independently and distribute questionnaires to measure the level of achievement of the socialization and training were carried out. The case area to be designed is a corner garden in the front yard of SMKN 63. The activity results show that the participants' perceptions fall into the category of agreeing to strongly agree on the value of the benefits of the service material. Participants were very enthusiastic and active. Creativity and design making still need guidance. Evaluation in the following month shows the follow-up of the resulting design. This enthusiasm led to a cooperation agreement between SMKN 63 and a community service team from the Landscape Architecture Department, Faculty of Laskap Architecture and Environmental Technology, Trisakti University to foster school residents sustainably.

The majority of cyber security education and training has been based in computer science departments, but we are now seeing the agenda filtering into the political science and international studies curriculum. There exists a challenge in presenting the topic in a non-technical and engaging way. This article will explore the use of Hydra Minerva environment, commonly used in Police Sciences, to facilitate simulations that bring to life the challenges of incident management while enhancing the employability skills of the students. Hydra Minerva facilities offer an alternative to traditional classroom simulations and computer-assisted scenarios that can be invaluable across the curriculum.

In non-English study programs, English learning material is arranged based on the specificities of the English learners themselves, commonly known as English for Specific Purpose (ESP). By using a qualitative approach and descriptive method, this study aims to map the students’ English language skills, determine the objectives of learning English, and the concept of ESP material needed by students in the non-English Study Program at  UMSU. Sources of data in this study were 80 (eighty) respondents (students) from non-English study programs who had already completed their general English course. Data analysis was performed by using qualitative descriptive methods in terms of numbers and percentages. The results show that the students’ needs vary from one student to another depending on their respective fields of knowledge. The students’ average ability starts from the low until intermediate level, and speaking and listening skills cover those needed by the learners of the respective study program. Their learning objectives are divided into two criteria, short-term goals related to current needs such as academic/educational needs and long-term goals related to their world of work after completing education. The concept of ESP English learning needed depends on the varying needs of each existing non-English study program. Thus, the ESP concept that is designed must be adapted to these needs.

This study aimed to identify educational needs and determine priorities in nursing care for home visit nurses providing services within the national long-term care insurance system in South Korea. This cross-sectional descriptive study assessed the educational needs of 92 home visit nurses. Participants’ characteristics were analyzed using percentages, averages, and standard deviations. Educational needs were calculated for participants’ current and required competency levels, utilizing the paired t-test, Borich’s educational needs formula, and the locus for focus model. Four main categories were identified as top priorities: (1) health assessment, (2) cognitive function care, (3) disease management, and (4) medication management. The study’s findings could support the development of appropriate and responsive education and training programs for home-visit nurses—as it reflects the actual needs of this group.

This article demonstrates how unemployment is made productive through workfare activities for older disadvantaged job seekers. We suggest that the requirement to look for work, engage in education and training, and participate in voluntary work blurs the boundaries between employment and unemployment. Drawing on in-depth qualitative research with older disadvantaged job seekers, we demonstrate how this obligatory productivity is lived and felt, characterised by shame and frustration and framed by the temporality of waiting and searching for work. We suggest that this experience of ‘productive’ unemployment can be described as a dissonant state of ‘transitional stasis’, whereby job seekers are expected to transition out of unemployment and poverty while experiencing the long-term and ongoing effects of immobility.
