This chapter discusses the battle of the three political regimes in Malaysia, the Barisan Nasional (BN) and Pakatan Harapan (PH), in the 14th General Election and the formation of Perikatan Nasional (PN) after the collapse of the PH government. The BN coalition has shown its political influence throughout 63 years of ruling the country since independence which has been hard to break by other opposition parties in Malaysia. BN has manipulated various government instruments in ruling to form a strong political hegemony that affects the voting behaviour of voters in determining rational choice, especially when elections are conducted. However, the strong political domination has been broken by the opposition movement that began in the 12th General Election that eventually toppled the old political regime, BN in the last GE-14. The failure of BN to defend its position as a government is due to several factors including scandals and misuse of power by political leaders, the weaknesses of the government in addressing economic issues, and pressures faced by the people on the cost of living, and limited employment opportunities. Issues that arise are then manipulated by the opposition parties at the same time, which managed to convince voters to change their support from BN to PH in the last GE-14. However, PH, which then had the opportunity to govern the country with a dilemma, as it failed to capitalize on the opportunity and fulfilled its manifesto as promised in their election campaigns. Subsequently, Malaysians, especially the voters in a series of by-election have begun to send a message to the government by voting for opposition candidates as a gesture of protest against the PH government. Furthermore, an analysis of the developments and dilemmas of the direction of the two political regimes before and after the GE-14 is discussed in detail in this chapter.

This article addresses the problem of socio-economic status of the Austro-Hungarian capital Vienna in the second period of the First World War - 1916-1918. Much attention is paid to the consequences of the war: the food crisis, the deficit, the rise in prices for basic necessities, speculation, protests, etc. It shows the transformation of the mood of the Viennese society in the conditions of the growing economic crisis. The food issue directly affected the quality of life of the residents of the capital, who were in difficult wartime conditions, and largely influenced their attitude to the current government. In this study, the task was to analyze the relationship between the government and the people and to find out why the people of Vienna, who had initially been patriotic and united around the monarchy, had joined the opposition by 1916. The author concludes that the food crisis, against the backdrop of the inaction of the government, which has used only the practice of prohibitions and restrictions on the civilian population, has become a key factor in exacerbating protests and leading to the overthrow of the political regime and the collapse of the monarchy.

The election of regional leaders conducted directly by the community is believed to result in a democratic government. The formed government is expected to be more open, more responsive, and to carry out the aspirations of the people so that it can realize a government that comes from the people, by the people, and for the people. A person can nominate him/herself as a candidate for Regent or Deputy Regent if supported by some residents, by Political Parties or Combined Political Parties. The relatively weak support of the population or political parties or combined political parties has resulted in very few candidates for regent or deputy regent, even only one pair of candidates can occur as in Pati Regency. The study aims to know how the policy in the future (Prospective Model) should be taken so that the single-candidate for Regent or Deputy Regent in a general election does not happen. By using a sociological juridical approach, collecting primary and secondary data, processing and analyzing data, the objective of the study can be reached.The policy that needs to be taken by the government so that in the future there will be no single candidate is by giving obligations to political parties to conduct cadre recruitment to become candidates for regional leaders. Besides, the General Election Commission needs to make a scheme that is easier and more flexible for individual candidates regarding administrative requirements, procedures, and mechanisms for gathering support, and there needs to be a new policy so that the potential for a single-candidate can be eliminated or not occur.

Exploration for petroleum in Australia paused in 1966 and this pause is likely to continue in 1967.The number of wells drilled and seismic activity will both be slightly less in 1967 than in 1966, but the work will generally be directed to more specific targets. The cost of exploration will be somewhat higher than in 1966.During the year off-shore drilling should increase and it is expected that five mobile rigs will be drilling in the offshore areas by the end of the year. The immediate structural targets available for these rigs are in the Gippsland, Bass and Otway Basins (Victoria-Tasmania), the North-West Shelf and Timor Sea-Bonaparte Gulf, and in the Gulf of Papua.Onshore exploration will be concentrated in the western Australian basins, the Surat Basin, the central Great Artesian Basin, and the Gidgealpa region of the southwestern Great Artesian Basin.The success or otherwise of the off-shore drilling will determine the rate of exploration over the next few years. If important discoveries are made off-shore, these may and probably would result in more intensive exploration of the same stratigraphic intervals onshore.The exploration patterns of Australia and several other countries before and after first commercial discovery are compared. This indicates that Australian discovery came early, as compared with other countries, where production has developed since the war, but that post-discovery effort in Australia has been very much less. The main obvious differences appear to be that in Australia the average size of the exploration concession is very much larger and the number of operators (having regard to the areas concerned) is much smaller, than in the other successful countries.There has been a gradual movement towards reducing the size of operating areas in Australia either by obligatory relinquihment or by farmout, but if discoveries are to be made at a satisfactory rate more operators are needed in every basin.The economic environment of Australia vis-a-vis Middle East oil and oil markets is probably the main basic reason for the peculiar exploratory pattern, which has impelled the Government to provide financial incentives to encourage exploration and development.

This paper presents an analysis of the impact of political regimes and type of military recruitment on the probability of the occurrence of international conflicts. In the last few years, the (re) introduction of military conscription has been a focus of public debate, but empirical analysis of the issue remains limited. We argue that democratic nations with conscription-based military recruitment in place are less likely to initiate international conflicts than those with voluntary recruitment because public opinion will estimate a higher probability of direct involvement in disputes, causing political leaders to refrain from conflicts, even though stable military resources are in place. On the other hand, authoritarian nations with conscription-based recruitment systems are more likely to engage in conflicts than those with voluntary recruitment systems because political leaders are not accountable to the people, even though the cost of war is calculated in the same manner as that in democratic nations. To test this reasoning, we use directed-dyadic data from 1816 to 2005. Our analysis strongly supports our theoretical expectations.

<p>Indonesia has the potential vulnerability enormous energy availability. From the supply side, Indonesia has not showed the synergy between the depletion of oil and gas on a large scale with the search for new sources of its reserves. Searching new reserves abroad also yet to show tangible results and not get full supported from the government. Meanwhile, shares of oil and gas is still a very big role in the national energy mix of Indonesia up to 25 years to come. The government also has not succeeded in converting the results of oil and gas into industrial assets. Prioritizing local-content policy produces only rents of business that would increase the cost of production and distribution of oil and gas to the people.</p>

Di Indonesia pemberantasan penyakit tuberkulosis telah dimulai sejak tahun 1950 dan sesuai rekomendasi WHO sejak tahun 1986 regimen pengobatan yang semula 12 bulan diganti dengan pengobatan selama 6-9 bulan. Pemerintah sudah sangat serius memperhatikan masalah TBC, dengan memberikan bantuan berupa pemberian obat TBC secara gratis. Namun faktanya, efektifitas pengobatan yang dilakukan oleh penderita TBC masih rendah. Tingkat kesembuhan penderita tuberkulosis adalah sebesar 85,30%, dengan tingkat kesukaan buah sebanyak 84%. Namun intensitas responden dalam mengkonsumsi buah hanya sebesar 68% dan tingkat konsumsi buah hanya sebesar 65,30%, serta tingkat keteraturan konsumsi buah saat menderita tuberkulosis hanya sebesar 67,30%. Berdasarkan hasil Musyawarah Masyarakat Desa, masyarakat sepakat untuk memilih TBC untuk menjadi acuan intervensi program. Pengabdian Masyarakat yang dilakukan dalam bentuk penyuluhan ini mengangkat tema “Ayo Konsumsi Buah dan Sayur untuk Putus Tali Penularan TBC.” Penyuluhan kesehatan ini dilaksanakan pada hari Sabtu, 15 Februari 2020 di Mushola AR-Rahman RT 04 RW 003. Dihadiri oleh 30 orang terdiri dari lapisan masyarakat dari RW 003 Kelurahan Benda Baru. Berdasarkan hasil perhitungan pre-test dan post-test, didapatkan bahwa ada peningkatan pengetahuan masyarakat terkait manfaat buah dan sayur untuk penyakit Tuberkolosis antara sebelum dan setelah diberikan penyuluhan. Disarankan agar kebiasaan maka buah dan sayur bisa menjadi kebiasaan di tengan masyarakat.---In Indonesia the eradication of tuberculosis has been started since 1950 and according to WHO recommendations since 1986 the treatment regimen that was originally 12 months replaced with treatment for 6-9 months. The government has been very serious about paying attention to the TBC problem, by providing assistance in the form of giving free TBC medicines. But in fact, the effectiveness of treatment carried out by people with TBC is still low. It was found that the cure rate of tuberculosis patients was 85.30%, with a fruit preference rate of 84%. But the intensity of respondents in consuming fruit was only 68% and the level of fruit consumption was only 65.30%, and the level of regularity of fruit consumption when suffering from tuberculosis was only 67.30%. Based on the results of the Village Community Conference, the community agreed to choose TBC as a reference for program intervention. Community Service is carried out in the form of counseling with the theme "Let's Eat Fruits and Vegetables to Break the Rope of TBC Transmission." This health education was held on Saturday, February 15, 2020 at Mushola AR-Rahman RT 04 RW 003. Attended by 30 people consisting of people from RW 003 Benda Baru Village. Based on the results of the pre-test and post-test calculations, it was found that there was an increase in community knowledge related to the benefits of fruits and vegetables for tuberculosis between before and after counseling. It  is suggested that the habbit of fruit and vagetables can become a habit among the people.
