The rise of private space actors marks the Space 4.0. era. The participation of private actors contributes to the economy, GDP, and technology advancements. Realizing this, States try to accommodate and nurture their space industry, including Indonesia. To do so, learning from State practices is important. New Zealand and Singapore are the perfect examples of new space-driven countries that managed to foster their national space industry rapidly. This paper compares and analyses how the three countries work to enhance their new space from the law and policy perspective and what lessons Indonesia can learn from the other two countries. It is concluded that the three countries have a fairly strong policy or regulatory base to develop space industry. However, Singapore and New Zealand are providing first-hand support like grants to keep space companies thriving. Direct involvement with business-related ministries such as economics or industry is also imperative to ensure the longevity of space projects or funding programs. Their space policies reflect these measures. To foster its national space industry, this paper recommends Indonesia to push its space policy to be more proactive, focused, and coordinated with the relevant stakeholders. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Education for children with special needs, especially with mild intellectual disabilities, has not received much attention from researchers and practitioners. The education of intellectual disabilities children also has the same right to develop according to the needs of the times as regular children's education in general. The changing and evolving needs of the times should also be followed by changes in the curriculum used, considering that one of the learning goals in special schools for intellectual disabilities children is to make the children who can live independently. In special schools for intellectual disabilities children in Indonesia, mathematics learning is combined with other lessons to discuss specific themes in everyday life. Based on an extensive literature search on the mathematics curriculum in special schools for intellectual disabilities children, this paper aims to review the literature involving two things: (1) mathematics education curriculum in special schools for intellectual disabilities children in Indonesia, and (2) mathematics curriculum in special education in Australia and Singapore. A view is also provided. This paper concludes that: (1) learning in special schools for intellectual disabilities children in Indonesia uses thematic learning where mathematics learning is focused on its usefulness in everyday life, (2) numeracy is the focus of education in Australia, not least for intellectual disabilities children, and learning Mathematics for mild intellectual disabilities children in Singapore includes the concepts of numbers, spaces, arithmetic procedures, problem solving and measurement.

Stroke is one of the most common killers in Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore. The mortality rate due to stroke in Indonesia is around 192/100.000, 84/100.000 and 47.9/100.000 for Malaysia and Singapore respectively in last 5 years. Treatment time, cost and quality are believed as main factors contributing to high mortality and disability caused by stroke. This paper presents the relation between stroke management cost, mortality rate and disability rate in Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore. We used stroke epidemiological data in Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore for last 12 years. This includes stroke prevalence, incidence, mortality and disability. Normalized clinical pathway for stroke management is used to define cost, quality and treatment duration. Administration, imaging, diagnosis, medication, intensive care, in ward recovery and outpatient rehabilitation are parts in stroke management system. We consider also country specific Gross Domestic Product (GDP per capita) and percentage of national health expenditure to justify the stroke management cost level. All related factors contributed directly and indirectly to the cost are connected through relationship trees model. The model has been simulated to produce normalized country specific cost, mortality-prevalence ratio, and disability-prevalence ratio. Simulation results show that normalized country specific costs for stroke management each one day care are 2.52% for Malaysia, 0.65% for Singapore and 3.88% for Indonesia. Based on this cost, Malaysia is able to have mortality-prevalence ratio and disabilityprevalence ratio of 0.12 and 2.11 respectively. As country with highest GDP per capita, Singapore has successfully managed to have 0.01 and 0.22 mortality-prevalence ratio and disability-prevalence ratio respectively. Indonesia, however, with stroke management cost higher than Malaysia, is only able to suppress the mortality-prevalence ratio up to 0.16 and disabilityprevalence ratio up to 2.80. This shows that stroke management system in Indonesia needs to be improved. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
