This paper sees the security of life as the essence of all security agents in the light of Acts 23:10. This is studied in the context of security agents in Nigeria. Life guarantees growth, success, productivity and development in all its ramifications. Security gives assurance that something highly valuable like life will not be taken away. Any idea that such will happen introduces uneasiness, fearfulness, retardation in development, self-doubt, lack of freedom and vulnerability of all will always be imagined. In the context of Acts 23:10, the government agent and the security agents are highly proactive which means taking the initiative to protect rather than acting afterlife has been extinguished, hence, Paul's life was secured. The spate of kidnappings, killings and maiming going on in Nigeria today have in so many instances introduce hopelessness and fearfulness in the minds of all and sundry. This is to the extent that some people no longer visit their rural villages. These reveal that security agents are not proactive but react to events. This work aims at showing that a security agent has no other business except to save life first and every other discussion will follow after that. To unpack the ideas in Acts 23:10, the author used hermeneutics and textual critical method of exegesis. The work recommends, among other things, that security agents should be made to understand the value of human life, hence a living person can answer any charge, unlike a dead one. Significantly, this work will be relevant to the Nigerian Government and her security agents and indeed all Nigerians.

Water plays a very important role in supporting human life and other living beings as goods that meet public needs. Water is one of the declared goods controlled by the state as mentioned in the constitution of the republic of Indonesia. The state control over water indicated that water management can bring justice and prosperity for all Indonesian people. However, in fact, water currently becomes a product commercialized by individuals and corporations. It raised a question on how the government responsibility to protect the people's right to clean water. This study found that in normative context, the government had been responsible in protecting the people’s right over the clean water. However, in practical context, it found that the government had not fully protected people's right over clean water. The government still interpreted the state control over water in the form of creating policies, establishing a set of regulations, conducting management, and also supervision.

The COVID-19 global pandemic has affected all aspects of human life, with education, not an exception. In an attempt to stop the SARS-CoV-2 spreading like wildfire, the Government of Nepal has implemented nationwide lockdowns since March 24, 2020, that have enforced schools and universities to shut down. As a consequence, more than four hundred thousand students of various levels in higher education institutions (HEIs) are in a dilemma about restoring the situation. Several HEIs, nationwide, have leaped forward from the traditional concept of learning—limited within the boundary of the classroom—to choosing digital platforms as an alternative means of teaching because of the pandemic. For this research, the descriptive and inferential analysis was carried out to investigate the effects and challenges of learning via digital platforms during this pandemic. Data were collected from students and faculty at various levels of higher education and analyzed statistically with different factors using t-test and ANOVA, and variables were found to be approximately normally distributed. The study revealed that 70% of the respondents had access to the Internet, but 36% of the Internet accessed did not continue online classes due to unexpected disturbance in Internet and electrical connectivity. Likewise, 65% of students did not feel comfortable with online classes, and among attendees of online classes, 78% of students want to meet the instructor for a better understanding of course matters. According to the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) model, three factors, such as institutional policy, internet access, and poverty, are found to be significant factors affecting the online higher education systems in Nepal. On the brighter side, this outbreak has brought ample opportunities to reform the conventional teaching-learning paradigm in Nepal.

Introduction: The imbalance between technological development and ideological strengthening has resulted in the fading of the Pancasila ideological values of millennials. Technology that accompanies everyday life seems to be the main character in human life. Yet if humans themselves do not use technology wisely, technology can be a threat to both individuals and the life of the nation and state. If technology is increasingly out of control, threats to the Pancasila ideology are very likely to occur, such as in the G 30S PKI incident. Therefore, it is necessary to take action both from the government and the community as individuals to safeguard the development of technology to be used wisely. That way, we can prevent the threat to the Pancasila ideology together. Writing this article aims to analyze how the role and influence of the Pancasila ideology on the millennial generation in the 4.0 industrial revolution and to find solutions so that the values of Pancasila remain attached to the next generation of the Indonesian nation. Method: Writing This article uses a qualitative method by using literature reviews from the results of related research journals that have been published online through websites and other online media. Results: Thirteen journals and one book have met the criteria for the inclusion of a predetermined review. Research is based on the stigma of society regarding technological developments in the Industrial revolution 4.0. Therefore, the government is expected to be more severe in implementing human capital management. Conclusion: By procuring human capital management, it will be possible that Human Resources (HR) in Indonesia will be able to carry out the ideals of a golden Indonesian generation with Pancasila values inherent in the hearts of the people and the nation's future generations.

The development of human life nowadays cannot be separated from various aspects such as economy, politics, and technology, including the impact of the coronavirus outbreak (Covid-19 or SARS-CoV-2) which emerged at the end of 2019. Responding to this Covid-19 pandemic outbreak In Indonesia, the government has issued various policies as measures to prevent and handle the spread of Covid-19. One of these policies is to limit community activities. These restrictions have implications for the fulfilment of the economic needs of the affected communities. Responding to the urgency of this community's economic situation, the government held a social assistance program as a measure to ease the community's economic burden. However, the procurement of the program was used as a chance for corruption involving the Ministry of Social Affairs and corporations as the winning bidders. This study uses a qualitative methodology with a normative juridical approach and literature. The approach is carried out by conducting a juridical analysis based on a case approach. The results of the study show that the corporations involved cannot be separated from corporate responsibility. However, the criminal liability process against the corporation is deemed not to reflect justice for the current situation of Indonesia is experiencing. The crime was not carried out in a normal situation but in a situation when Indonesia was trying hard to overcome the urgent situation, the Covid-19 pandemic. Corporate crimes committed by taking advantage of the pandemic situation are deemed necessary to prioritize special action or the weight of criminal acts committed by corporations. The weighting of criminal sanction is the right step as a law enforcement process for corporate crimes during the pandemic.

Traditional medicines have been used since the beginning of human life on earth. Traditional medicines form a part of the household not only in India but also in western countries. According to WHO, traditional medicines are those extracts from plants which are of medicinal value. Around 80% of the world's population relies on traditional medicines for medicinal purposes or as neutraceuticals. There is a well-established procedure for conducting clinical trials of western medicine, but when in the case of traditional medicines, there are several obstacles in the path. Where traditional medicines are the oldest form of medicines used by human's specific issues like lack of infrastructure, lack of sponsors and lack of skilled manpower hinders the clinical trial process for traditional medicines. The articles focus on various issues for conducting clinical trials and the steps taken by the government to address these issues. Centres like the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine, All India Institute of Medical Sciences are working rigorously to research traditional medicine to establish safety and efficacious data at par with modern medicines. Standardization of the collected raw material, in-process standardization and quality control check of the final product will further help in reducing the harmful adverse effects.

Water is critical part of the human life. In most of the developing nation, water pollution is one of the bigger mess. These issues can be handled strictly by the Government organization, by implementing tougher action rules to the industries, were the water are released without any proper treatment. Where each industries (or) smart cities, should take up self-initiative responsibility for proper treatment of the polluted out flow water. In our research paper, we are not focusing on the wider area of the water pollution; our focus is limited within the smart cities vehicle washing garages. In very smart cities, were a regular multiple vehicles washing is done in the garage, our research paper will focus on the out flow of the populated water from these vehicle washing garages. Our design and implantation process is simpler and straightforward approach. Were we will monitor of the water quality; and how much level of the water is populated, and it requires at what level of the treatment. These process can be easily automated using the multiple IOT (internet of things) based sensors, the data can be streamed into the Big Data lake (or) it can be directly pushed into the cloud computing services for generating the real time graphs and analyses report instantly. These data collected in the Big Data lake (or) cloud computing services, can be used for detail analyses for research purpose. We will incorporate the block chain concept to keep track of the smart garage location address and the detail information of the number of garage in the smart cities details in the form of the blocks.

Life skills are proven to be able to improve human civilization.  Improving literacy culture is one way to develop human life skills.  The National Literacy Movement/ Gerakan Literasi Nasional (GLN) initiated by the government is an effort to realize it.  SDIT Salsabila 2 Klaseman has a Class Literacy Movement/ Gerakan Literasi Kelas (GLK) program.  The limited space available is not a reason to discourage GLK.  This type of research was case study field research.  The institution studied was SDIT Salsabila 2 Klaseman.  The subjects consisted teachers, principals, students and parents.  Data was obtained by observation, interviews and documentation steps.  Analysis was performed by using data reduction techniques, data display, triangulation, and conclusion drawing/verification.  The data showed that the main purpose of GLK was to intensify the culture of school literacy, library revitalization, and maintain the stability of school library functions.  The technical implementation is by creating a class library in each class, fostering a sense of belonging to the class library, supplying books from the school library to the class library, providing educational playgrounds in the area of the class library, giving rewards for students who are diligent in reading, achievements are informed in public, and explore the student guardian support. The problems that arise are the lack of teacher exemplariness, lack of consistency, supply of books from school libraries is still small, and the system of re-education has not been orderly.

Java Island is one of the areas that is very fertile and densely populated, but on the other hand, Java Island is also one of the areas that is most frequently hit by natural disasters, one of which is Klaten Regency. Natural disaster itself is an event that threatens and disrupts human life caused by nature. Some of the natural disasters that often occur simultaneously in Klaten Regency are floods, landslides, and hurricanes. These three disasters usually occur during the rainy season. This of course makes the government need to take action by seeing the large chance of a disaster occurring in order to optimize disaster management. Then research will be carried out that aims to determine the chances of natural disasters occurring in the next few years. Forecasting will be carried out using the Markov chain method, with this method the probability value of the future period can be estimated using the current period probability value based on the characteristics of the past period. So that the value of the steady state chance of floods and landslides in period 36 (December 2023) and hurricanes in period 15 (March 2022) with the chances of a disaster are 34.21%, 15.38%, and 73.53%, respectively.Received August 31, 2021Revised October 27, 2021Accepted November 11, 2021

The diversity of Indonesian culture is a strong basic capital in development. The government has realized that cultural treasures in Indonesia are valuable assets. Cultural development is one of the government's efforts to improve the welfare and quality of human life in Indonesia. To measure the quality of human life, the Human Development Index (HDI) indicator is used, which explains how the population can access the results of development in obtaining income, health, education, and so on. The Cultural Development Index (CDI) is an instrument used to measure the achievements of cultural development performance, which consists of 7 dimensions, namely dimensions of cultural economy, education, socio-cultural resilience, cultural heritage, cultural expression, cultural literacy, and gender. To find out how much influence the CDI has on HDI in Indonesia, a simple linear regression statistical method is used. The result of this study illustrate that the CDI and HDI have a positive relationship, that is, the higher the CDI achievement, the higher the HDI achievement of a region. From the result of R Square shows that 40 percent of the HDI variable can be explained by the CDI variable, while the rest can be explained by other factors. Through a simple linear regression statistical analysis test found that every one percent increase in the CDI, will increase the HDI by 0.437 percent. This finding is expected to provide recommendations to the government regarding cultural-based national development. All development planning must also consider cultural development.

Abstract:. Modern technology makes human life style also changesduring the development of the era. The exchange of information from one place to another becomes easier not only for national scoped but also the international scope. Moreover, it makes the foreign culture can easily enter Indonesia, imitated by society and then give impact to the life style of the society including human’s behaviour. It can be said that there is a moral swing in Indonesia nowadays. Many young people are not really enthusiastic in keeping their own culture. They tend to imitate other cultures, behave inappropriately, use illegal drugs, do free sex, bully each other, make genk, scuffle, and even kill people. One of the reasons of this morality crisis is the exemplary crisis. Adults who are supposed to be role models for the younger generation even provide bad examples such as doing corruption, being selfish and do individualist practices of corruption, collusion and nepotism, mutual checks, doing violence such as grabbing, punching and other crimes.Therefore, the government makes effort to overcome the moral crisis through character education or Budi pekerti education. Basically character education is not new concept, Ki Hajdar Dewantara has designed character education since a long time through its principles, foundations, concepts and teachings about Tamansiswa. The principles and teaching can be implemented to toddlers, children, and adolescents until adults. Through the method of literature analysis, this paper seeks to examine and explore more deeply about the character education which designed according to the teaching of Ki HadjarDewantara. Character education designed according to Ki Hadjar Dewantara applied through basic and teaching of Tamansiswa. Basic Tamansiswa includes Panca Dharma that is Nature of universe, Independence, Culture, Nationality and Humanity. While Tamansiswa teaching includes Tri Ngo (ngerti, ngroso, lan nglakoni), Tri N (niteni, niroke, nambahi), Tri Hayu) and most importantly the Trilogi Kepemimpinan (ing ngarso sung tulodho, ing madyo mangun karso, tutwuri handayani), all of them are implemented in Tri Pusat Pendidikan  (family, school and community). Abstrak: Teknologi modern membuat gaya hidup manusia juga berubah selama perkembangan zaman. Pertukaran informasi dari satu tempat ke tempat lain menjadi lebih mudah tidak hanya untuk lingkup nasional tetapi juga ruang lingkup internasional. Selain itu, membuat budaya asing dapat dengan mudah masuk ke Indonesia, ditiru oleh masyarakat dan kemudian memberi dampak pada gaya hidup masyarakat termasuk perilaku manusia. Dapat dikatakan bahwa ada ayunan moral di Indonesia saat ini. Banyak anak muda tidak benar-benar antusias dalam menjaga budaya mereka sendiri. Mereka cenderung meniru budaya lain, berperilaku tidak semestinya, menggunakan obat-obatan terlarang, melakukan seks bebas, saling menggertak, membuat genk, perkelahian, dan bahkan membunuh orang. Salah satu alasan krisis moralitas ini adalah krisis yang patut dicontoh. Orang dewasa yang seharusnya menjadi panutan bagi generasi muda bahkan memberikan contoh buruk seperti melakukan korupsi, menjadi egois dan melakukan praktik individualis korupsi, kolusi dan nepotisme, saling memeriksa, melakukan kekerasan seperti menyambar, meninju dan kejahatan lainnya. Oleh karena itu, pemerintah berupaya mengatasi krisis moral melalui pendidikan karakter atau pendidikan Budi pekerti. Pada dasarnya pendidikan karakter bukanlah konsep baru, Ki Hajdar Dewantara telah merancang pendidikan karakter sejak lama melalui prinsip-prinsipnya, yayasan, konsep dan ajaran tentang Tamansiswa. Prinsip-prinsip dan pengajaran dapat diimplementasikan untuk balita, anak-anak, dan remaja sampai dewasa. Melalui metode analisis pustaka, makalah ini berusaha untuk meneliti dan menggali lebih dalam tentang pendidikan karakter yang dirancang sesuai dengan ajaran Ki HadjarDewantara. Pendidikan karakter dirancang sesuai dengan Ki Hadjar Dewantara yang diterapkan melalui dasar dan pengajaran Tamansiswa. Tamansiswa Dasar meliputi Panca Dharma yaitu Alam semesta, Kemerdekaan, Kebudayaan, Kebangsaan, dan Kemanusiaan. Sementara ajaran Tamansiswa mencakup Tri Ngo (ngerti, ngroso, lan nglakoni), Tri N (niteni, niroke, nambahi), Tri Hayu) dan yang paling penting Trilogi Kepemimpinan (ing ngarso sung tulodho, ing madyo mangun karso, tutwuri handayani), semua dari mereka diimplementasikan di Tri Pusat Pendidikan (keluarga, sekolah dan masyarakat).
