Technology and law are two elements which influence each other and both also
influence the society. Basically, technology was created to meet certain human needs. On the other hand, law is
limitations of the behaviors of the society and its violation will cause enforced sanctions by the state. Law is required to create order in the society
and give justice. The aim of this research is to investigave the cyber law in Indonesia. Internet activities are free and private activities so that they
are very vulnerable to criminal activities and vulnerable to crimes which cross country borders. Law enforcement on cyber law can be done by improving
legal substance, improving human resources especially law personnel, community’s support as well as cooperation between countries so that negative
impacts of cyber impacts can be avoided considering the harm which can be cause which of course will impact the economics of the society in both
national and international levels.

Africa as an Obstacle to the Achievement of EFA and MDGs

Abstract:
Low adult and youth literacy is a global challenge and a policy imperative. Sadly,
in 2008, 131 million youth worldwide lacked basic reading and
writing skills (UIS 2010). In sub-Saharan Africa, youth and adult literacy has become a focus of regional concern, with the lowest literacy rates being
observed in this region, and in South and West Asia. In recent years, much has been written about global literacy rates; however, few
published studies
have focused directly on the low literacy rate as an obstacle in the achievement of the Education for All (EFA) policy goals and the
Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). Notwithstanding the challenges of poor nutrition, humanitarian crises, HIV infection and conflict
that continue to challenge millions of people across the globe, the low adult and youth literacy rate remains a policy imperative.
In this paper I argue that low adult and youth literacy rates, as subsystem, is an obstacle to the achievement of EFA policy goals and
MDGs. Drawing on systems theory, the UNESCO Institute for Statistics and Kurt Lewin’s open systems theory, this document review (1)
explores the global trends and challenges inherent in the global literacy rates and populations; (2) investigates the implications of
the global literacy rates on EFA; (3) examines the reasons why more girls are out of school; (4) reflects on gender as a dimension of
inequality that affects equitable access to education in the region; and (5) argues that the sub-Saharan Africa literacy rate is an
obstacle to the achievement of EFA and MDGs
Keywords: Literacy, Millennium Development Goals, Education for All, open systems theory.

Abstract:
This paper aims at proposing a strategy for development of
sustainable tourism at Patong Beach. The instruments used for research include direct observation, questionnaire and in-depth
interviews with tourists and local people. One hundred twenty local people were interviewed for their perceptions of the impact of
tourism and people’s participation on environment. Besides, an equal number of tourists were also interviewed for their views on tourist
attraction, accessibility, facility, and safety. Based on the data collected by direct observation, we infer that a
multitude of environmental, economical, and social problems afflict the existing tourism situation. Analysis of the
questionnaire data, using the Likert scale, reveals that, according to local people’s perception, the impact caused by
tourism on environment is high x=3.87 and that caused by people’s
participation moderate( x=2.82). Interviews with local agencies and entrepreneurs convey a similar opinion. The data from tourist attitude shows that
tourist attraction is high (x=3.59), where as accessibility (x=3.14),
facility (x=3.07) ), and safety (x=3.10) are moderate. Synthesizing the data from
different sources, we recommend that sustainable development of Patong Beach be taken up to encourage tourism development, people’s participation, and community-based tourism.
The strategies to be adopted for this purpose are public hearing and balanced attention to four dimensions: attraction, accessibility, facility and safety.
Keywords: Sustainable tourism development, community-based tourism, people’s participation.

Abstract:
As a means of providing evidence based policy recommendations that will
enhance the growth and development of the Nigerian economy, this study examined the impact of monetary policy on private sector investment in
Nigeria over the period 1970 to 2012 using an ordinary least squares (OLS) methodology. The study examined the time series properties of the
data using the Zivot-Andrews unit root test and the Johansen cointegration test. The study found a stable long run relationship between the
series. In addition, the results of the long run model indicate that monetary policy impact on private sector investment through three main
channels, namely: money supply, domestic savings and government domestic debt. The coefficients of these variables are statistically
significant and positively related to private sector investment; while the exchange rate that is not statistically significant is
negatively related to private investment in Nigeria. Contrary to expectations, inflation and real interest rate showed positive
relationship with private sector investment in Nigeria.
