The research was conducted with the new public management paradigm; the community as the recipient of services is considered a customer. The study aims to reveal the relationship between training and employee performance in the public sector with knowledge sharing indicators as a mediator for both. This research uses a quantitative approach to SEM-Amos analysis tools. The sample was selected using a purposive sampling technique to the Civil Servants (CS) in an online questionnaire to participate in this study. The results showed that as many as 149 samples answered the questionnaire and had attended leadership training and other training. The results showed that the role of leadership training and additional training for training assessment tools to increase knowledge sharing was very influential compared to functional training, technical training, and other training. Although leadership training and further training significantly impact increasing knowledge sharing, they have not improved work-life and CS Performance quality. On the other hand, knowledge sharing shows an indirect effect on CS performance compared to its direct impact.

As the crucial foundation of teaching learning process, curriculum should be well-designed by the curriculum developers. English curriculum in this language center has been developed years by years to find out an appropriate framework in order to provision students with certain abilities on English and the government pedagogical requirements. This study aims to seek the answers from purposive participants toward the three research questions; does the implemented curriculum meet the students' needs?, how are the curriculum of English certification programs designed?, what challenges do the curriculum developers face with in designing the curriculum?. A focus group discussion was used as the research approach to get in depth-data from participants. It was conducted for 12 hours. The research results illustrate that the designed-curriculum has met the students' need, internal institution policy and the development of other International tests. Likewise, the curriculum was designed by conducting need analysis, though the team encountered many challenges in designing it, for instance assessment and scoring.

Upland agriculture faces threats in the ecological crisis that will affect the sustainability of highland communities. The process lasts quite long because of external and internal influences, leading to ecological exploitation. Agricultural development, is closely related to the influence of government policy. Research focuses on discussing aspects of policy influence on the development of upland agriculture.

Rural development policies and infrastructure, 3). Decentralization or regional autonomy, 4). Economic policies, especially investment and markets. The conclusion is that the development of agriculture is economically progressing in the shadow of the ecological crisis, drought, flooding and impact on humanitarian crisis, because it needs arrangements in land management and the application of technology for agricultural development.

BUMN (Indonesian State-Owned Enterprises) are known to be inefficient and highly dependent on the government bureaucracy; therefore, the government adopted privatization policy. This study was conducted to determine the financial performance of BUMN before and after privatization using BUMN privatized in 2004-2009. The data were analyzed by paired T-test. The liquidity through the current ratio and cash ratio increased insignificantly after privatization. Based on return on investment, the profitability increased while based on return on equity, it decreased insignificantly. In terms of the activity ratio, collection periods decreased significantly while total asset turnover increased insignificantly and the leverage decreased insignificantly.

Issue on mangrove degradation and its impact viewed from ecological and anthropological aspects is constantly actual as it will reduce its vital function as a coastal protection from the danger of tsunami and abrasion, nutrient recycling, fisheries productivity biodiversity, dampening the rate of sea water intrusion and other coastal ecosystem crutches. This study aims to: determine the level of mangrove degradation; find out a model of mangrove area reduction dynamics due to the influence of ecological and anthropogenical factors including a model of perceptional correlation, to know community's perceptions and participation on mangrove degradation; then to further discover more effective strategies in dealing, with coastal mangrove degradation in Brebes Regency coastal areas. In the research areas, three species of mangrove vegetation were discovered in proper number; they were Rhizophora mucronata, Rhizophora apiculeta and Avicennia marina. Overall, Rhizophora mucronate had the highest density of 35.731 ind./ha in Kaliwlingi Villlage, Sub District of Brebes. Mangrove areas in Brebes Regency generally decreased with the reduction rate of 68,46 ha./year. Ecological and anthropogenical factors had the cohesion of the dynamics of a vast reduction in mangrove Brebes coastal areas. The value of natura1 growth factor (99.,60%), reforestation (97,40%), death (99,60%), logging (99,60%), and abrasion (99,60%). Most of the indicators of independent factors, perception and public participation factors showed a significant effect (valid) against the dependent factor (mangrove degradation) at 95% and 90% level of convidence, but the influence of ecological factors were more dominant than anthropogenical factor. The level of public perception had no effect on the level of perticipation. The resullts showed that degradation of mangrove forests in Brebes Regency coastal areas were still allowed to be maintained and could be developed. The order of strategies to manage mangrove degradation in Brebes Regency coastal areas were: (1) Improving the protection of the mangrove areas from ocean waves/abrasion through anchoring/more effective breakwater; (2) Increasing ihe empowerment of potential mangrove areas through productive aclivities that increase the addled value for improving the welfare of local communities while preserving, the mangrove; (3) Making the implementation of regulations and optimizing, the role of relevant agencies, civil society organizations, and the participation of local communities in conserving mangrove areas and developinq it; (4) Strengthening the institutional system of government and public institutions in the management of mangrove areas for short, medium and long term; and (5) Improving outreach activities/community related to the importance of mangroves tor coastal resource conservation.
