River water pollution in Jakarta is a national and international concern that requires serious attention. Therefore, environmental information, including ecological vulnerability maps, environmental status, and other relevant data, is crucial for effective environmental management. A regional environmental analysis and policy evaluation in 2024, using the DPSIR method, identified the environmental impact of river water conditions in real-time through water status measurements and aquatic ecological indicators. From the periodic analysis of Main Pollutant Parameters (MPP) during 2018-2024, eight parameters, such as fecal coliform, total coliform, free chlorine (Cl2), hydrogen sulfide (H2S), BOD, phenol, and ammonia (NH3), were classified as river MPPs. Specifically, fecal coliform, total coliform, and ammonia (NH3) have consistently been river MPPs in Jakarta during the 2018-2024 monitoring period, requiring primary attention due to their high and continuous pollution levels.

The role of the state/government is particularly important in determining various economic policies, especially those closely related to efforts to develop cooperatives. Economic policies issued by the government, whether directly or indirectly, should have an impact on the development of cooperatives. The issue addressed in this paper is how the state can enhance the competitiveness of cooperatives among other business entities. What challenges does the government face in enabling cooperatives to compete with other business entities. This study uses normative legal research with a descriptive analytical nature, while the data collection technique is through literature study or document study. However, field data is also used to support and supplement library data. After the data is collected, it is analyzed using qualitative legal methods. In relation to the role of the state/government in empowering cooperatives, the evaluation of cooperative performance shows that, so far, excessive support or involvement from the government has not been able to improve the independence and performance of cooperatives. In this case, it has actually created a strong dependence of cooperatives on government programs. To avoid dependence on the government, it is now time for cooperatives to have clear and transparent regulations, and if necessary, to redefine the government's role in the empowerment and development of cooperatives, with a clear statement that cooperatives are essentially autonomous institutions. The results of this evaluation are then used as a guide in determining the boundaries or regulatory framework regarding the government's role itself, ultimately leading to an ideal pattern of relationships or interactions that benefit the development of cooperatives

Resilience is extremely vital to all of us, especially to people with hearing loss. This paper is concerned with the study of factors affecting resilience in deaf and hard of hearing community. It is based on comprehensive literature review drawn from international studies and reports of existing organizations in Vietnam about this field. Key findings show that promoting resilience in deaf and hard-of-hearing (D/HH) communities involves the combination of complex factors. Individual characteristics, resilient family with positive support; deaf peer networks, inclusive education environment and social policy services are essential contributors to resilience in D/HH. The paper concludes by confirming that D/HH communities can accomplish their goals and live their lives fruitfully with the right support.
