The scramble for the natural resources of one of the richest continent of the world – Africa – is an ongoing phenomenon, however, the intensity and the protagonists of the scramble have increased multifold. Initially the scramblers were essentially after only the agricultural and mineral resources of the continent, however, in the present era, they are also after the human resources and the soul – land – of the continent. The scramblers are not only Europeans or American nations, but the Asians and others have also joined the scramblers’ club. The main aim of this paper is to explain the new forms and dimensions of the scramble and its impact. The paper concludes that the new scramble for Africa’s resources will not end so soon, because the need for major natural resources like crude oil, uranium and brains (learned Africans) is increasing geometrically, as the developed nations improve their conditions of living and enhances their use of science and technology. Therefore, two of the main feasible solutions for the Africans now are, inward-oriented, legally backed and continent-wide internal trading among themselves and other forms of systematic protectionism of their material and human resources.

Natural wealth is an invaluable resource so it must be preserved. Indonesia as an agrarian, archipelago and maritime country located on the equator is one of the countries in the world that has abundant natural resources compared to other countries. To manage these crops, the community and the government support each other in the process of conservation through a positive management process. Institutions related to the process are expected to be able to join hands with the community, so that the community, government and the state can enjoy the results in the long run. One way to help the community, especially in areas far from the center of government, or the community wherever located. Cooperative allianz is one of the solutions that is considered in accordance with the conditions and culture of the community.

Climate change is one of the biggest challenges the world is facing today and it has the potential to create havoc with the agrarian livelihoods across the globe. Therefore, this paper attempts to explain the probable impacts of human induced climate change on natural resources in Kashmir, India. An ample amount of literature was reviewed meticulously to ascertain the impacts of climatic variability on natural resources vis-a-vis agriculture, biodiversity and water bodies as well as other common issues related to human resources in Kashmir. Loss of certain indigenous food varieties (i.e. nick cheena), reduction in natural forest cover (less than 11%) and loss of important water resources has aggravated the already dilapidated situation in this most vulnerable state of India. Scientific evidences revealed that there will be more devastating climatic effects on natural resources in Kashmir- India, which will fall disproportionately on poor communities, particularly dry land farmers, forest dwellers and fishermen of the state.

Given that IbK must someday be independent and operationally sustainable, then IbK is given access just as non-profits are then given an extra task to be able to become a profit unit by utilizing human resources and facilities owned. In an effort to create independent science and technology-based new entrepreneurs, it is expected that in accordance with their fields of knowledge, the IbK program can be carried out in the form of entrepreneurship training, placing students to carry out internships in established companies / business units / IbIKK in the School and facilitating student entrepreneurship. The training is carried out to provide entrepreneurial knowledge, encourage the growth of motivation for entrepreneurship, improve management understanding (organization, production, finance, and marketing) and make business plans or business feasibility studies. It is unthinkable, children are taught to be employees in the company, but who founded the company if they were not entrepreneurs. Children, teenagers, really need enough time with adults to be able to support, encourage and help them find out who they are, how the world works, and what their role is in society.

Continental shelf is a relatively new concept in international law of the sea. Full authority and exclusive rights over natural resources located in the continental shelf region and its ownership is on the coastal state, where the meaning of this natural wealth is a source of minerals and other lifeless on the seabed and subsoil. Through the establishment of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea 1982, as well as enactment of the provisions of the New Law of the Sea, Indonesia is an archipelagic state which is seen as a unified whole between the islands and waters. We realized the sea was rich in minerals mining goods that is priceless natural resources, which is expected to be able to fulfill the needs of the world if mineral resources on land are not sufficient or run out completely. In Indonesia, mostly consisting of ocean territory, surely have the very wide continental shelf, where there is a variety of natural resources, especially oil and gas resources. Hence it needs regulation for the natural resources utilization in the region.Keywords :  Continental Shelf, Natural Resources, Seabed and Subsoil.

The Impact

Corruption is an extraordinary crime. The impact is not only threatening the life order of society but also can tear the national stability. In 2017, Indonesia is still in the order of 90 of 176 countries in the world who have an index of achievement in eradicating corruption. This means that corruption in Indonesia is still very large. With this fact, this paper elaborates the concept of the Quran relating to corruption and its prevention. Through the study of thematic-integrative commentary with maqshidi analysis, it is found that the word as-suhtu, ghulul and al-fasad are terms that describe the phenomenon of corruption in Al-Qur’an. While preventing corruption, the Koran alleges the death penalty for perpetrators of crimes that damage both natural resources, human resources and community order.

Muslims have a lot of potentials in terms of human resources (HR), natural resources (NR) and Islamic ideologies. Sadly, they are far from being established, prosperous, progressive and prosperous as they have two main challenges they must face and resolve. First, internal challenges which includes terrorism movements due to wrong understanding of Islamic teachings. Second, external challenges, such as the fear of the Europeans and the West against Islam and its adherents (Islamophobia), clash civilization stigma, and Muslim backwardness in developing science. Due to these two main challenges, it is necessary to find a solution to face and deal with them, so that the Muslims can rise above their adversity. The internal solution, for example, is to encourage them to understand the true, inclusive and interactive teachings of Islam so that they truly become a guideline and solution for any individuals and Muslims themselves. It is expected to abolish radicalism’s understanding and movement and motivate the Muslims to improve the development of science and technology. In the meantime, the external solution includes bridging communication to demonstrate the true teachings of Islam which are inclusive, merciful and interactive to eliminate Islamophobia. In addition, conducting collaborative scientific and technology-based research at international level to catch up with the modernity is also a good option
