In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Indonesian government is trying to control the spread of COVID-19 in various ways, one of which is through the use of technology. The Indonesian government has built and developed a surveillance application called PeduliLindungi to help the government with tracing and tracking to stop the spread of COVID-19. This application requires personal data and utilizes the bluetooth network in location tracking for tracing contact history with COVID-19 sufferers. The search results will make it easier for the government to identify people who are exposed and need further treatment to stop the spread of COVID-19. But besides that, there are many public concerns about the leakage of personal data from the PeduliLindung application. This research focuses on the leakage of personal data and misuse of personal data from the PeduliLindung application from an information security perspective. This study is a study that aims to analyze data security in the PeduliLindung application

There are so many victims of dental technicians in Indonesia that require special attention. The factor causing many victims is the number of dental technicians who are illegal and have exceeded the limit of authority that dentists should do. In fact, the authority of a dental technician is only limited to making and installing removable dentures, but the fact is that many dental technicians abuse the rules. This caused many victims from minor illness to death. This is certainly not in accordance with what is stated in the health law in Indonesia. The government must be strict in enforcing applicable health laws regarding dental technicians.

Abstract
In this paper I lay out some of the main theoretical methodological principles that underlie a
narratives-as-practices approach and discuss three foci that emerge from current research and pave the way for future
investigations. In particular, I focus on mobility, connectivity, time/space anchoring and chronotopicity as both characteristics
of narrative and research areas which allow for an integration of the focus of interactional approaches on emergence with a
consideration of the historical and social embedding of narratives into practices. I review recent research that has contributed
to this trend in narrative studies and discuss some of the limitations of current work and areas that need further investigation.
I advocate for an expansion of research on a wider variety of practices, attention to the characteristics of narrative genres, and
in general a stronger critical engagement with ways in which narratives participate in social processes involving power and
inequality.

Oprah Winfrey is a world recognizable icon, having achieved success in many different arenas. Her ongoing accomplishments have global influence, and she is known for consistently using her powerful voice. As a skilled orator, Winfrey is often sought after for speaking engagements, including commencement ceremonies, and she has delivered numerous graduation speeches to diverse audiences. This article is the third in a series on exploring Afrocentricity in the rhetoric of recognizable black leaders. Specifically, through applying the tenets of Afrocentricity by Molefi Asante, this study examines two of Winfrey's commencement speeches to examine the Afrocentric nature of her discourse.

AbstractSocial support and strain have been linked with many health outcomes. However, less is known about whether these psychosocial factors are associated with Type 2 diabetes risk. This study uses the Midlife in the United States (MIDUS) dataset to examine the relationship between social support and strain from friends, family members, and spouse/partners and blood hemoglobin A1c levels in married/cohabiting adults who have not been diagnosed with diabetes. In addition, health locus of control is examined as a possible mediator. The study's findings suggest that support from friends is negatively associated with HbA1c levels, indicating a relationship between better glycemic control and social support from friends, and an indirect association for spouse/partner support. A direct effect for internal health locus of control was also found.

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to compare two corruption scandals in Singapore to illustrate how its government has dealt with these scandals and to discuss the implications for its anti-corruption strategy.Design/methodology/approachThis paper analyses the Teh Cheang Wan and Edwin Yeo scandals by relying on published official and press reports.FindingsBoth scandals resulted in adverse consequences for the offenders. Teh committed suicide on 14 December 1986 before he could be prosecuted for his bribery offences. Yeo was found guilty of criminal breach of trust and forgery and sentenced to 10 years' imprisonment. The Commission of Inquiry found that the Corrupt Practices Investigation Bureau (CPIB) was thorough in its investigations which confirmed that only Teh and no other minister or public official were implicated in the bribery offences. The Independent Review Panel appointed by the Prime Minister's Office to review the CPIB's internal controls following Yeo's offences recommended improvements to strengthen the CPIB's financial procedures and audit system. Singapore has succeeded in minimising corruption because its government did not cover-up the scandals but punished the guilty offenders and introduced measures to prevent their recurrence.Originality/valueThis paper will be useful for scholars, policymakers and anti-corruption practitioners interested in Singapore's anti-corruption strategy and how its government handles corruption scandals.
