This study examines the poem Sajak Sebatang Lisong by W.S. Rendra through a postcolonial lens, focusing on the underlying social criticism embedded within the text. The poem reflects the persistent social inequalities that continue to affect Indonesian society in the post-independence era, particularly in the realms of education and the marginalization of impoverished children. Through symbols such as the cigarette (lisong), wealthy elites (cukong), and the imagery of an endless road, the poem highlights the lingering presence of colonial structures within contemporary social and educational systems. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach, the study utilizes textual analysis and socio-cultural context as primary analytical tools. The findings reveal that political independence has not been fully accompanied by social justice. Structural oppression and limited opportunities continue to hinder the younger generation in their pursuit of a better future. As such, the poem serves as a powerful literary critique of neocolonial practices and ongoing social alienation. These findings contribute to a deeper understanding of how literature can reflect colonial legacies and the socio-political dynamics of post-independence Indonesia, while also enriching the discourse in postcolonial literary studies.

The rapid development of smart cities, integrating technologies like artificial intelligence (AI), the Internet of Things (IoT), and big data analytics, has transformed urban environments, improving public services and governance. However, this progress presents challenges in inclusivity, accountability, and equity, requiring updates to public service law to address emerging concerns. As digital technologies reshape governance, legal frameworks must balance innovation with citizens' rights protection. This study explores the intersection of law, technology, and society in smart cities, focusing on the implications of digital transformation on public service law. It identifies challenges in governance, including the digital divide, privacy protection, and data security.

A socio-legal approach is used, combining case studies, policy analysis, and stakeholder interviews. The findings reveal that while digital transformation improves efficiency, challenges remain in citizen participation and reducing inequalities. Successful smart city models, such as those in Barcelona and Tallinn, prioritize inclusivity, accountability, and participation. The study highlights the need for flexible, adaptive legal frameworks to ensure that smart cities are governed inclusively, transparently, and equitably.

This research examines God as the initiator of cross-cultural missions through a case study of mission transformation in the life of the Apostle Peter. Departing from the existing research gap, namely the need to reflect on the nature of God who loves other nations through a change in Peter's perspective, this study aims to show that God is the initiator of salvation for all mankind. The significance of this study is to encourage the church to see cross-cultural missions as an important approach in transmitting God's love to those who have not yet repented. Using a descriptive-analytical method, this study finds that Peter's encounter with Cornelius was a crucial turning point in early Christian missionary work. The experience radically changed Peter's narrow understanding of who was worthy of receiving the gospel, extending from just Jews to all nations. The descent of the Holy Spirit upon Cornelius and his family is clear evidence to Peter that God's grace is impartial and available to every believer. This event was not only a personal lesson for Peter, but also a revelation of God that opened the door for the gospel to reach the Gentile world, fundamentally changing the course of church history.   Penelitian ini mengkaji Allah sebagai penggagas misi lintas budaya melalui studi kasus transformasi misi dalam kehidupan Rasul Petrus. Berangkat dari kesenjangan penelitian yang ada, yaitu kebutuhan untuk merefleksikan sifat Allah yang mengasihi bangsa lain melalui perubahan cara pandang Petrus, studi ini bertujuan untuk menunjukkan bahwa Allah adalah inisiator keselamatan bagi seluruh umat manusia. Signifikansi penelitian ini adalah untuk mendorong gereja agar melihat misi lintas budaya sebagai pendekatan penting dalam menularkan kasih Allah kepada mereka yang belum bertobat. Dengan menggunakan metode deskriptif-analitis, penelitian ini menemukan bahwa perjumpaan Petrus dengan Kornelius merupakan titik balik krusial dalam karya misi Kekristenan awal. Pengalaman tersebut secara radikal mengubah pemahaman sempit Petrus mengenai siapa yang layak menerima Injil, meluas dari hanya orang Yahudi menjadi semua bangsa. Turunnya Roh Kudus kepada Kornelius dan keluarganya menjadi bukti nyata bagi Petrus bahwa kasih karunia Allah tidak memandang bulu dan tersedia bagi setiap orang yang percaya. Peristiwa ini tidak hanya menjadi pelajaran pribadi bagi Petrus, melainkan juga wahyu Allah yang membuka pintu bagi Injil untuk menjangkau dunia non-Yahudi, secara fundamental mengubah arah sejarah gereja.

This study aims to explore the strategies employed by local fishermen in practicing environmentally friendly fishing at Olo Beach, Belawan, North Sumatra. The research is motivated by the declining fish catches, which have raised collective awareness among the fishermen about the need to sustain marine ecosystems. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, data were collected through direct observation and in-depth interviews with selected fishermen. The findings reveal that fishermen have adopted several adaptive strategies, including limiting the number and size of fish caught, avoiding the use of destructive fishing tools, and maintaining the tradition of mutual cooperation in preparing fishing equipment. These strategies emerged from shared experience and community consensus, without formal government regulation. The results highlight the potential of grassroots initiatives in contributing to marine conservation. Therefore, it is essential for the government and related institutions to support these local practices through education, provision of sustainable fishing technology, and the development of alternative livelihoods for coastal communities.
