Penguatan Peran dan Partisipasi Masyarakat dalam Membangun Etika Politik (Studi pada perwakilan Organisasi Masyarakat, Keagamaan, Mahasiswa dan Karang Taruna Kabupaten dan Kota Probolinggo)

Abstrak Sejatinya politik sangatlah mulia, namun karena praktik yang saling menguntungkan antara oknum dengan masyarakat telah berkepanjangan sedemikian rupa, membuat politik semakin terjerembab pada konotasi yang negatif. Tak ayal, politik kian legam termakna secara kotor, culas, menghalalkan segala cara, penuh politik uang, transaksional, dinasti, hingga urusan yang semata merebut kekuasaan. Cerminan demikian jelas berkaitan dengan etika kesemuanya, baik masyarakat, politisi, pemerintah, yang mengatur dan yang diatur, yang dipilih dan yang memilih, dan seterusnya. Karenanya memotong salah satu mata rantai dari berlangsungnya praktik demikian merupakan sebuah keniscayaan. Hal inilah yang dilakukan oleh Badan Kesejahteraan Bangsa dan Politik Provinsi Jawa Timur dengan menghelat estafet kegiatan yang bertujuan melakukan penguatan peran dan partisipasi masyarakat dalam membangun etika politik, khususnya pada perwakilan organisasi masyarakat, keagamaan, mahasiswa dan karang taruna Kabupaten dan Kota Probolinggo. Kegiatan selama dua hari di Kecamatan Sukapura tersebut bersinergi dengan beberapa pihak, seperti anggota Dewan Perwakilan Rakyat Daerah provinsi Jawa Timur, Kepolisian Daerah Jawa Timur dan akademisi lokal; FISIP Universitas Panca Marga Probolinggo. Bagi kami, kegiatan pengabdian ini seyogyanya terukur tingkat keberhasilannya. Evaluasi pra dan pasca kegiatan harus dapat diketahui adanya tambahan pengetahuan dan pencerahan pemahaman terhadap para audiens. Metode yang dipakai melalui sebaran angket berisi beberapa pertanyaan dengan ketegasan dua pilihan jawaban. Hasilnya secara nyata terdapat penambahan pemahaman terhadap para peserta sosialisasi yang harapannya mereka bisa menjadi garda depan dalam mengimplementasikan serta mensosialisasikan materi yang didapat kepada khalayak yang lebih luas, yang kemudian dapat berimbas pada peningkatan etika masyarakat baik secara umum dan etika secara politik. Kata kunci: penguatan peran dan partisipasi, etika politik. Abstract In fact, politics is very noble, but because the practice of mutual benefit between unsrupulous and society has been prolonged in such a way, making politics increasingly stuck to negative connotations. Inevitably, politics is increasingly dirty, culpable, justimate all means, full of money politics, transactional, dynastic, to affairs that merely seize the power. Such reflections are clearly related to the ethics of all, whether society, politicians, government, who govern and governed, who elected and chooses, and so on. Thus cutting one of the links from the practice is an inevitability. This is what Badan Kesejahteraan Bangsa dan Politik of East Java Province did by conducting a relay of activities aimed at strengthening the role and participation of the sosiety in building political ethics, especially in representatives of social, religious, students and cadet reefs organizations of Probolinggo Regency and City. The two-day activity in Sukapura subdistrict synergized with several elements, such as the East Java Provincial People's Representative Council member, East Java Regional Police and local academics; FISIP University of Panca Marga Probolinggo. For us, this devotional activity should be measured. Pre and post-activity evaluation should be known for additional knowledge and enlightenment of understanding of the audience. The method used through the distribution of questionnaires contains several questions with the firmness of two choices of answers. The result is a real increase in understanding of the socialization participants with hope that they can be the vanguard in implementing and disseminating the material obtained to a wider audience, which can have an impact on improving public ethics both in general and political ethics. Keywords: strengthening roles and participation, political ethics.

Estimating Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions from Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) in Oman Using Different Frameworks

Reduction in emissions is the key to tackle climate change issues and achieve environmental sustainability. The Gulf Cooperation Council member countries however, not only generate the highest quantity of MSW/capita when compared globally but also in most of these countries such waste is just dumped at different landfill stations. In Oman, the total quantity of MSW stood at 2.0 million tonnes/year. The emission from this waste is estimated at 2,989,467 tonnes/year (CO2 Equivalent). This article attempts to develop frameworks that considered landfilling, composting, and recycling of MSW and compared the emissions of these frameworks. The framework (F2) which proposes the landfilling and composting process for the organic waste which normally goes to landfills results in an increase of emissions by 7% as compared to landfill practice. Similarly, the samples of MSW collected in Oman show a good amount of recycling waste. The framework (F3) which considers the landfill, composting, and recycling reduced the total Greenhouse Gas emissions from 2,989,467 tonnes/year to 2,959,735 tonnes/year (CO2 Equivalent); representing a total reduction of 1% in emissions. Although composting increases the emissions, however, considering composting and recycling will not only reduce the burden on landfills but will promote agricultural and industrial activates.

Analysis of separate aspects of legal proceedings related to the introduction of the code of the Kyrgyz Republic on infractions

Since 1987, after the adoption by the Committee of Ministers of the European Council member states of the Recommendation n. 6 R (87) 18 "Concerning the simplification of criminal justice", the legislators of most states began to introduce into their national legislation various simplified forms that allow achieving procedural savings and reduce time in the proceedings. Indeed, this path proposed by the international legislator allows the shortest way to solve the problem of reducing social tension in society. To solve this problem, it is also necessary to develop at a high level the procedural aspects of private prosecution in cases of misdemeanour. Especially heated discussions occur in the latter case around the question about the limits of the list of articles in this category.

Internationalization of Vocational Education in the Arctic Council Member-States’ Universities

Nowadays, the potential for international cooperation in the Arctic is concentrated within the framework of such an influential international structure as the Arctic Council, where Russia is presiding over soon in 2021–2023. The article is devoted to international cooperation evaluation of 15 Arctic universities from 7 Arctic Council member-states with a student contingent of at least 3,600 people (2 in the USA, 1 in Iceland, 5 in Russia, 2 in Finland, 2 in Sweden, 2 in Norway, 1 in Canada). It seems possible to evaluate international cooperation potential between Arctic universities through the prism of 10 quantitative indicators, including the number of international students admitted to the university; number of courses taught in English; number of educational programs for international students; a number of foreign scientists invited to the university, etc. We can evaluate both academic mobility within the Arctic universities and vocational education internationalization due to accumulated statistical data.

Democracy in Engineering Organisations. A Case Study of Kenya.

In December 2019, the world was engulfed in coronavirus/COVID19 pandemic that spread like wildfire after emerging from Wuhan City, China. Naturally, this disrupted world's order and how organizations, including workplaces, are managed. In this short communication, we present what and how the Institution of Engineers of Kenya conducted their election campaigns and the election itself. The elections were held electronically. Number of voters' turnout shows some discrepancies as the total votes for the presidential post do not match that of the ordinary council member positions. It is therefore important to improve on transparency at the institution. We recomend that election should be handled by independent scrutineers. Any sitting council should not directly handle any election material. This will enhance accountability and service delivery to members.
