South South Cooperation (SSC) is a form of development cooperation between developing countries based on the principle of solidarity, equality (mutual opportunity) and the principle of mutual benefit. Indonesia is one of the member countries of Cooperation which is active as a foreign aid provider for SSC partner countries. So far, the available discussions have only focused on the benefits of South South Cooperation (SSC) on Indonesia's national interests. This journal examines from another perspective on the impact of Indonesia's foreign assistance on the development of member states of South South Cooperation. The research method used was descriptive qualitative with a focus on providing assistance in the Asian region. Foreign aid provided by Indonesia focuses more on training and community empowerment programs. Indonesia also provided financial assistance but the value was no greater than non-financial assistance worth US $ 60 million. In addition, Indonesia's foreign aid for conflict countries in Asia includes educational, economic, health and social programs that aim to help and alleviate the suffering of people in the midst of conflict. The impact of the provision of non-financial assistance is that people in developing countries in Asia get new knowledge, skills and information to be implemented in their countries and increase community empowerment so that they are not increasingly dependent on foreign financial assistance.

Proxy war has become a new form of the phenomenon of international conflict that has emerged in the world. National resilience to the existence of a proxy war should be one of the most vital concerns for a country. This study aims to explore the implementation of non-military defense, supporting factors, and inhibiting factors that arise by non-Ministry of Defense against proxy war in Indonesia. This study used a qualitative approach by data collection techniques through in-depth interviews at 6 Ministries, 3 State Institutions, and 1 Local Government. Data were analyzed using the interactive model of Miles, Huberman and Saldana. This research found that ministries or non-defense state institutions and local governments have different conceptions of proxy war and are also not optimal in their Non-Military Defense implementation. This study also showed that the supporting factors consist of professionalism of human resources, regulation of National Defense, Cooperation, and synergy. Meanwhile, the inhibiting factor consists of the lack of official understanding of the national defense, the main tasks and functions not related to national defense, and the lack of national vigilance. To optimize the implementation of non-military defense, it is needed the socialization of non-military defense and its threats, harmonization of laws and regulations at each Ministry and Institution, and the implementation of national vigilance.

The issue of strategies of activities aimed at people with disabilities living in the relevant communes is a topic rarely undertaken in discourse of special pedagogy. These issues are found among the other activities that local government entities are contemporary obligated to implement, and span solutions and activities in the area of inclusion for people with disabilities. It is hence important to know and overcome problems and barriers that hinder or block the right functioning of people with disabilities. Some of solutions and activities are contained in the two types of communal strategic documents, these are: Commune Development Strategies and Strategies for solving social problems. The article consists of three parts. The first covers the characteristics of communal strategies and social policy towards people with disabilities. The second part presents the assumptions and results of research based on a qualitative analysis of strategic documents of 27 communes (about 3900 pages of documents) in terms of categories and activities regarding the inclusion of people with disabilities. The whole is summarised in the final conclusions. The aim of the study is preliminary recognition of exemplary activities found in the strategies of communes from the counties of Żywiec and Cieszyn. Text notes the "good practices" and noteworthy solutions for inclusion applied by local government entities with respect to people with disabilities.

To improve healthcare policymaking, commentators have recommended the use of evidence, health technology assessment, priority setting, and public engagement in the process of policymaking. Preconception expanded carrier screening, according to the World Health Organization's definition, is a novel health technology and therefore warrants assessment, part of which involves evaluating ethical and social implications. We examined ten Swedish policymakers' perspectives on ethical and social aspects of preconception expanded screening through in-depth expert interviewing, using a semi-structured questionnaire. Respondents were affiliated to governmental and non-governmental institutions that directly influence healthcare policymaking in Sweden. The interviews were recorded, transcribed verbatim, and analyzed via inductive thematic analysis method, which generated seven themes and several subthemes. Policymakers harbored concerns regarding the economics, Swedish and international political respects, implementation procedures, and societal effects, which included long-term ones. Moreover, participants detailed the role of public engagement, research, and responsibility in regard to preconception expanded carrier screening implementation. Since this is a qualitative study, with a small non-random sample, the results may not be generalizable to all policymakers in Sweden. However, the results give a profound insight into the process and interpretative knowledge of experts, in the Swedish milieu and the extent of readiness of Sweden to implement a preconception expanded carrier screening program.

Quality descriptive data analysis using the Milles and Huberman models. The results showed that the use of strategies and approaches to teaching and learning is still not effective in developing literacy, literacy has not been optimal in developing thinking skills, difficulties in integrating PPK, school literacy ecosystems have not fully developed a school literacy culture, the need for increased collaboration in the GLS program

Applying a qualitative approach based on policy documents and participant observation in climate-related workshops, this study assesses the actors/sectors, actions, and barriers in the adaptation landscape in Seychelles and proposes strategies for improvement. Results indicate a diversity of actors/sectors compared to twenty years ago with the government having a leading role. Adaptation actions taken include policy development and revision, institutional set-up, hard and soft engineering approaches, human resources development, research, education and outreach. Ecosystem-based adaptation (EbA) has gained importance during the last decade with projects such as coral and mangrove restoration, rainwater harvesting, tree planting and watershed management, etc. Several barriers constrain the adaptation process in Seychelles despite efforts to reduce its vulnerability. Chief among these barriers include: (i) institutional and governance issues, (ii) inadequate knowledge and scientific understanding, (iii) financial, and (iv) human resources capacity. Many of the barriers reported in this study matched up easily with the phases within the adaptation cycle. Promoting synergies between adaptation and mitigation, policy coherence with national strategies in Seychelles climate change policy, institutional collaboration to build capacity and avoid duplication of projects and conflicts, eradication of invasive species from EbA project sites, and reframing development goals to catalyze climate finance are some strategies for improvement.

When most women seek independence, self-realization and responsibility for their own destiny, battered women tend to be dependent, passive and seek for emotional and physical support. To achieve positive changes in private lives of battered women, providing social, legal and psychological help is not sufficient. Helping women to reject the position of a "victim", educational empowerment is needed as well.One of educational empowerment dimensions – empowerment by education, underlines that educational empowerment takes place by providing a person with knowledge, meanings, abilities and competences that are necessary to build one's life. In a case of battered women, educational aim could be as follows: to empower battered women "to live differently", by providing knowledge, meanings, abilities and competences needed to "break free" from a situation of abused victim.Educational assistance is usually provided for women at intervention centres that are governmental organizations or NGOs. However, following question has not been adequately discussed: what knowledge the battered women really need? This question define the research problem of the article. In order to reveal what kind of education for battered women takes place at support institutions, a qualitative study with in-depth interviews of 10 employees from support institutions (educators) and 4 interviews of battered women was conducted during March, 2016 – January, 2017.

In the proposed article, the authors investigate how the candidates to the French presidential elections, Emmanuel Macron and Marine Le Pen, named their fellow citizens, what types of denominations the two candidates used when referring to the French people during the TV-debate which took place in May 2017. The authors have carried out several discourse analytic studies on the final debate of the French presidential elections (Sullet-Nylander & Roitman 2010a, 2010b, 2011 and 2016). This new study deals with the concepts of denomination and/or nomination within a discourse analytic framework based on theoretical models and definitions by Kleiber (2001) and Siblot (2001). The identification of "les paradigmes désignationnels" (Charaudeau & Maingueneau 2002: 415) enables the collection of relevant semantic and lexical information related to this specific genre and discourse type. The analyses are quantitative and qualitative as well as comparative (between the two candidates). The following research questions are addressed: How do both candidates refer to French people during their exchanges? Do the differences in the frequency of a particular denomination depend on the political orientation of the candidates? What electoral strategies can be linked to these (de)nominations? The results show several differences between the two candidates, one of which the most salient beingMarine Le Pen's use of the lexeme "compatriotes" while Macron prefers "concitoyens".

This study aims to analyze Tax Amnesty in an effort to increase tax revenues, in conformity with the theory/rules/principles of Taxes, and to analyze taxpayer compliance in paying taxes in the framework of Tax Amnesty in reporting business activities and paying taxes. The method that will be used in this study is a qualitative descriptive research method. The technique of collecting data is done by in-depth interviews, observations, literature studies and documentation. The aim of the tax amnesty is to accelerate growth and economic restructuring through the transfer of property, which will have an impact on increasing domestic liquidity, improving the Rupiah exchange rate, decreasing interest rates and increasing investment. Encouraging tax reform towards a more just taxation system and the expansion of a more valid, comprehensive and integrated taxation database, in addition to increasing tax revenues is also another goal of tax amnesty. The government's efforts to attract public funds that have been parked in other countries' banks are the goal of tax amnesty, but unfortunately despite various efforts to build the willingness of taxpayers to join the Tax Amnesty, some taxpayers only declare their assets but the funds are not repatriated to Indonesia. On the other hand, the realization of ransom receipts did not reach the target. Therefore post-tax amnesty policy needs to be strengthened by tax audits and the implementation of AEoI.

The knowledge of Indonesian Islamic education is still strongly influenced by Middle Eastern Islamic education, which is currently experiencing political turmoil and bloodshed due to the transnationalism and global Salafism movement. If this condition continues, Indonesian Islamic education will suffer the same fate. In such a situation, Islamic education with progress and Islam Nusantara education must appear prominent, becoming the mainstream (mainstreaming) as a stronghold of the NKRI. Although some studies deliberately make the difference between them, they have the potential for conflict, but the principle of caring for diversity must be put forward. Library research with this qualitative approach formulates the scientific mainstreaming of Islamic education with progress and Islam Nusantara education amidst the flow of transnational Islamic education. The findings of this study indicate that the scientific advancement of Islamic education with progress is Al-Islam and Kemuhammadiyahan (AIK) while that of Islam Nusantara education is Aswaja. AIK develops knowledge that supports the local wisdom and diversity, while Aswaja maintains local wisdom and national character through science. Both represent the science of moderate Islamic education that is more enlightening than Middle Eastern Islam; thereby, it has the potential to promote Indonesia as a barometer of Islamic world education. Keywords: Islamic education, Kemuhamamdiyahan, and Aswaja
