A modern and developed agriculture requires permanent and reliable monitoring of both meteorological/climatic and biological variables in agrometeorological stations. The aim of this work was, firstly, to implement a network of weather stations in Timor-Leste, a developing Southeast Asian country with irregular weather/climate monitoring for the past decades mainly due to political instability (wars, occupations,...), and, secondly, to establish from it, a network of agrometeorological stations. The administrative division of the country and the available agro-climatic zoning, the location of the existing stations and of those with relevant historical records, the agricultural and forestry practices in the country, the existing agricultural research centres as well as the structure and composition of the existing stations (number and type of sensors, communication system, …) and the human resources to ensure a proper stations network management were taken into account for this purpose. The implementation of a network composed by 50 weather stations was proposed to cover the entire national territory (299.34 km2/station). By strengthening the equipment and the ability to maintain it in 15 out of these 50 stations with sensors that measure agrometeorological parameters a network of agrometeorological stations included in the former was also purposed. Flexibility in the composition of each network has been safeguarded for the purpose of responding to any substantial change in financial or technical conditions in an ever-changing country. All methodologies and recommendations were discussed on the basis of a “management concept for weather stations” which requires not only scientific rigor in the choice of locations to be monitored, but also maintenance, human resources training and the involvement of beneficiary populations.

Household violence as an internal household issue, public issues are in handle openly through law mechanism. In response to the increasing cases of household violence, the Timor leste government then also formulate it as one of the common offenses in constitution number 7 of 2010 about household violence. This is a research by using empirical law research method, the result found two things, firstly, the special unit for the handling of victim of household violence within the scope of the national police of Timor Leste does not yet have an adequate law basis in regulating its duties and responsibilities, because the authority of the special unit is delegatively derived from the general authority owned by national police investigation agency. Second, even if there is no special law umbrella, the special unit still carries out its duties and responsibilities even if it is inadequate. The absence of special law umbrella and inadequate task and responsibilities of special unit  unsupported by human resources. Kekerasan dalam rumah tangga sebagai persoalan internal rumah tangga semata, persoalan publik ditangani secara terbuka melalui mekanisme hukum. Menyikapi meningkatnya kasus kekerasan dalam rumah tangga, pemerintah Timor Leste juga kemudian merumuskannya sebagai salah satu delik umum dalam Undag-undang Nomor 7 Tahun 2010 tentang Kekerasan Dalam Rumah Tangga. Penelitian dengan menggunakan metode penelitian hukum empirik, hasil menemukan dua hal. Pertama, Unit Khusus Penanganan Korban Kekerasan Dalam Rumah Tangga dalam lingkup Kepolisian Nasional Timor Leste belum memiliki landasan hukum yang memadai dalam mengatur tugas dan tanggungjawabnya, karena kewenangan dimiliki unit khusus secara delegatif sebagai turunan dari kewenangan umum yang dimiliki oleh Badan Investigasi Kepolisian Nasional Timor Leste. Kedua, sekalipun tidak memiliki payung hukum khusus, namun Unit Khusus tetap melaksanakan tugas dan tanggungjawabnya sekalipun tidak memadai. ketiadaan payung hukum khusus, ketidakmemadaian pelaksanaan tugas dan tanggungjawab unit khusus tidak didukung oleh sumberdaya manusia

Belu Regency is a regency in East Nusa Tenggara Province, located on the Indonesia-Timor Leste border, has economic and political strategic value. Human resources, natural resources and the budget are the real sector of the economy in driving economic growth.

The direct and indirect relationship of human resources with welfare through the budget is positive, but the direct value relationship is smaller when compared to the indirect relationship. This shows that the budget that is formed from the wealth of natural resources and human resources is an important factor in creating public welfare as measured through economic growth. Budgets sourced from local and central government are increasing every year. The creation of the government and elements of society make the most of resources. The attention of the central government through balancing funds is very high. This is because Belu district located on the Indonesia-Timor Leste border is a macroeconomic picture of the border country
