Abstract. Discourses concerning the dialectical coming of the Kingdom of God in Christian theology are debatbale, including its time and relationship to the present. This study focuses to find a connection between the dialectic of the Kingdom of God and social transformation, and its implications to the present. In reaching that goal, the Indicative-Imperative method in bibilical ethics is applied. It means that the works and the will of God become the indicative, and the God’s commands or men’s responsibilities become the the imperative. Based on this research, Christian ethics is performed not only as hope and anticipation to the coming of the Kingdom but also as respond and participaton to the Kingdom’s mission. There is a close connection between the Kingdom of God and social transformation. Therefore, the church can perform the Kingdom’s mission in the world as an agent of social transformation. Abstrak. Wacana tentang dialektika kedatangan Kerajaan Allah dalam teologi Kristen mengandung perdebatan, baik terkait waktu kedatangan maupun kaitannya dengan kehidupan saat ini. Fokus tulisan ini adalah meneliti kaitan antara dialektika Kerajaan Allah dan transformasi sosial dan implikasinya bagi kehidupan masa kini. Dalam rangka itu penulis menggunakan pendekatan Indikatif-Imperatif dalam etika Alkitab. Pendekatan ini menjadikan tindakan dan kehendak Allah sebagai indikatif, dan perintah Allah atau tanggung jawab manusia sebagai imperatifnya. Kajian ini menunjukkan bahwa etika Kristen dilakukan bukan hanya sebagai harapan dan antisipasi terhadap datangnya Kerajaan Allah, melainkan juga sebagai respons dan partisipasi terhadap misi Kerajaan Allah. Ada kaitan erat antara Kerajaan Allah dan transformasi sosial. Oleh karena itu, gereja dapat menjalankan misi Kerajaan Allah di dunia sebagai agen transformasi sosial.

The increasing number of laundry businesses in Pontianak causes increased laundry waste, which is dangerous for health and the environment because anionic surfactants such as Linear Alkylbenzene Sulfonate (LAS) are hard degradable. Photocatalyst is a method that can be used to degrade the LAS structure. TiO2 carried in coconut fiber can optimize sunlight irradiation in degrading LAS content when light reaches the water's surface. This study aims to determine the characteristics and optimum activity time of photocatalyst TiO2-coconut fiber in degrading LAS. Photocatalyst characterization was carried out using XRD, XRF, and DR-UV, while the optimum activity test of photocatalysts in degrading LAS was carried out using a UV-Vis spectrophotometer. XRD diffractogram analysis showed the peaks of coconut fiber at 2θ = 22.2º, 34.8º and TiO2 at 2θ = 25.3º, 37.8º, 48.1º, 55.1º, and 62.1º. The TiO2 attached to the fiber after being synthesized was 21.12%. The band gap of TiO2 and TiO2-coconut fiber is 3.21 and 3.18 eV, with light absorption at 386.5 and 390.3 nm. Photocatalyst was carried out in LAS with a mass ratio of TiO2 and coconut fiber of 20:80; 30:70; 40:60, and 50:50 w/w with a time range of 0, 30, 60, 90, and 120 minutes. The results of photocatalysis of TiO2-coconut fiber in a ratio of 20:80 w/w showed the optimum photocatalytic activity at 120 minutes with the highest degradation rate of 80.43%. This research is expected to be applied as an alternative to handling LAS in laundry industry waste.

The government has established various policies regarding mining in Indonesia. Still, an important question that needs to be asked is whether these policies have provided benefits, justice, and balance for indigenous and tribal peoples. This study aims to analyze the impact of Indonesian mining regulations on the protection of indigenous peoples. This is a normative legal research effort. The literature review gathers information from document analysis, which is analyzed qualitatively. Data analysis is descriptive-analytic in nature. The study results show that the impact of mining regulations still needs to reflect the recognition and protection of the rights of indigenous peoples. There is a need to improve mining management legislation and systems. Standardization of reclamation and post-mining management is required to provide implementation guidelines that meet the needs of the community. It has no negative impact on the community surrounding the mine. Licensing is one policy that can be used to implement standardization, which means keeping an eye on how the land is managed after mining, how waste is handled, and how policies are made to encourage mining and conservation activities that are good for the environment.

Social media has proliferated into the everyday life of Vietnamese people. As a result, in the past years, Vietnam has seen many organizational crises that started on this platform. Social media has proven to be able to foster crises, thanks to open platforms that allow for relatively free discussion among strangers with common interests. Nonetheless, Vietnamese organizations have often ignored or underutilized these channels in their crisis communication efforts. Organizations prioritize using traditional media in their crisis communication efforts and paid little to no attention to social media outlets, even if the crisis had started on social media channels. Through a survey with experienced Vietnamese PR practitioners, this research aims to understand this trend of crisis management and explore the perception of Vietnamese organizations toward the use of social media in crisis communication. Bahasa Indonesia Abstrak: Media sosial telah menjamur ke dalam kehidupan sehari-hari rakyat di Vietnam.

Media sosial telah terbukti mampu menumbuhkan krisis, berkat platform terbuka yang memungkinkan diskusi bebas untuk kepentingan bersama. Meskipun demikian, organisasi di Vietnam sering mengabaikan atau kurang memanfaatkan saluran-saluran ini dalam upaya krisis komunikasi yang mereka alami. Organisasi lebih memprioritaskan menggunakan media tradisional dalam upaya menanggulangi krisis komunikasi mereka dan sedikit memberikan perhatian kepada outlet media sosial, bahkan jika krisis telah dimulai pada saluran media sosial. Melalui survei yang dilakukan oleh praktisi PR di Vietnam yang berpengalaman, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk memahami tren manajemen krisis ini dan mengeksplorasi persepsi organisasi di Vietnam terhadap penggunaan media sosial dalam komunikasi krisis.

Despite the emergence of social media in many aspects of Vietnamese lives, including marketing and promotional activities, Vietnamese organizations have used little social media in their crisis communication efforts. The organizations are hesitant to adopt social media in crisis communication and prefer to use traditional media because of its controllability and professionalism. However, with the increasing number of organizational crises that started on social media in the past years, it is arguably that Vietnamese stakeholders use social media as one of their main communication channels during crises. Should the organizations use social media in response? Through a series of interviews to PR practitioners and stakeholders in Vietnam, this research aims to find out the similarities and gaps in the perception of social media use for crisis communication between these two groups, and to guide a crisis communication practice that is appreciated by stakeholders.

Namun, dengan meningkatnya jumlah krisis organisasi yang dimulai di media sosial dalam beberapa tahun terakhir, dapat dibilang bahwa pemangku kepentingan Vietnam menggunakan media sosial sebagai salah satu saluran komunikasi utama mereka selama krisis. Haruskah organisasi menggunakan media sosial sebagai jawaban? Melalui serangkaian wawancara kepada praktisi PR dan pemangku kepentingan di Vietnam, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui persamaan dan kesenjangan dalam persepsi penggunaan media sosial untuk komunikasi krisis antara kedua kelompok ini, dan untuk memandu praktik komunikasi krisis yang dihargai oleh para pemangku kepentingan. .
