Published: March 2023

Tugas dan fungsi Intelijen sangat penting dalam suatu sistem keamanan nasional, yaitu sebagai lini terdepan dalam deteksi dini dan cegah dini dari berbagai ancaman baik dari dalam maupun dari luar negeri.

Lebih lanjut, dalam menjalankan fungsi dan tugasnya dalam sistem keamanan nasional, Komunitas Lembaga Intelijen di era demokrasi ini mutlak membutuhkan suatu transparansi, baik dari segi kewenangan, pelaksanaan tugas, maupun penganggaran.

Salah satu kelemahan dalam tata kelola intelijen di Indonesia adalah masih lemahnya koordinasi dan masih adanya tumpang tindih otoritas di dalam Komunitas Intelijen. Perlu perbaikan terhadap Undang-Undang No. 17 Tahun 2011 Tentang Intelijen Negara dalam hal diferensiasi struktur dan spesialisasi fungsi masing-masing agar diharapkan tidak terjadi lagi permasalahan tumpang tindih dalam tata kelola intelijen.

Di sektor kewilayahan, perlu adanya penguatan komunitas intelijen daerah (Kominda) baik di wilayah setingkat provinsi maupun kabupaten/kota. Diperlukan langkah yang sinergis dari beberapa anggota Kominda untuk dapat memperbaiki kinerja dan penguatan institusi agar dapat berhasil dan berdaya guna dalam menjaga keamanan nasional

Authors: Baños-Pino José F. , Boto-García Daavid , Valle Eduardoa Del , OSustacha Inés
Published: March 2023

The health risks associated with COVID-19 have increased tourists' safety concerns when traveling. We analyze the linkages between tourists' length of stay and their perceptions about health security in different public venues at the destination: the street, bars and cafés, restaurants, the chosen accommodation, the beach, and shops and stores. We use survey data collected from tourists to a nature-based region (Asturias) in Northern Spain in the summer of 2020 as our case study. Based on separate linear regressions, we examine how health security perceptions vary with the length of the stay across different public venues. In doing so, we control for a wide set of sociodemographic and trip-related characteristics. We find evidence of a consistent nonlinear negative relationship between the length of the stay and the perceived health security in these public venues. We also document that hotel guests have lower health security perceptions, both at the hotels themselves and other public venues. This is the first work that explores how health security perceptions in different public domains deteriorate with the tourists' length of stay.

Published: March 2023

Conventionally, intervention programs and risk assessment tools have emphasized the shortfalls that criminal offenders hold. Most prevailing programs emphasize treating specific challenges relating to external and internal acts/behaviours, like aggression or substance abuse. Therefore, increasing support for rehabilitation, reformation, and reintegration treatment programs in correctional settings to evaluate and foster the strengths and virtues of individuals has been observed lately. Locus of Control is an individual’s expectation of specific reinforcement, in a certain situation, which depends greatly on their attitude toward the situation relatively than the situation itself. Attitude towards law was understood to be influenced by the locus of control with the internally located having a better attitude and awareness towards the law when compared to the externally located individuals. Coping with life hardship and maladaptive coping behaviour were considered to be related to offending and re-offending. Implications are noteworthy presuming that our consideration of coping can upsurge the ability of correctional staff to reduce later recidivism in the community. Recidivism is measured by various social and psychological variables and factors that could influence the offender to engross into reoffending. This study focused on exploring the coping skills as possible predictors of recidivism risk amongst prisoners with respect to their orientation of locus of control. 30 female and 50 male convicted inmates older than 18 years, serving their sentences for cognizable offenses at Telangana Central Prisons were involved as the participants. The correlations between Locus of control and coping skills were drawn and further analyzed for prediction of recidivism risk. Results indicated that the external locus of control in offenders is inversely related to their coping and the avoidant coping style in them was observed to be a significant predictor of Recidivism risk. Further, rehabilitation, reformation, and reintegration treatment programs were proposed for correctional settings based on the results.

GPS provides precise position and control data anywhere on the planet and in any weather condition. GPS was originally intended for military usage, but in the 1980s, the US Department of Defense made it available for civilian use. The scientific applications of GPS in the military, community, and commercial sectors are expanding on a regular basis. Agriculture, construction, mining, measurement, package delivery, and logistical supply chain management all benefit from GPS technology. Precision GPS time synchronization is critical for big networks, navigation, finance systems, financial markets, and power grids. Wireless services are impossible to imagine without them. In this paper, we will go over the key aspects of GPS technology as well as a discussion of the systems that use it.
