This article embarks on a comprehensive exploration of Norway's responses to the climate challenge, offering a nuanced assessment of climate change impacts, evaluation of mitigation strategies, and analysis of policy responses. The Arctic, with its iconic glaciers, fjords, and delicate ecosystems, bears witness to the unfolding narrative of climate transformation. Our assessment of climate change impacts reveals a landscape in flux, marked by melting glaciers, altered precipitation patterns, and shifting ecosystems. The article delves into the multifaceted implications of these changes, from their ecological consequences to their socio-economic effects on key sectors such as agriculture, fisheries, tourism, and infrastructure. Norway's proactive stance in mitigating climate change emerges through a rich tapestry of strategies. From the development of renewable energy sources to groundbreaking carbon capture and storage (CCS) projects, the nation has harnessed innovation and sustainability to navigate the path toward a low-carbon future. Emissions reduction targets, legislative frameworks, and international collaborations align Norway's climate policies with global agreements like the Paris Agreement.","PeriodicalId":14269,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Science, Technology and Society","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134972952","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The data used in this research comes from various research results and previous studies that are still relevant. The results of this research then show that the presence of social media makes cultural integration more complicated. The presence of social media plays a key role but also provides new challenges in society. Therefore, the importance of wise use of social media in cultural integration is very necessary. To achieve deeper cultural integration, efforts need to be made to minimize risks such as filter bubbles, polarization, and cultural conflicts that can arise in the digital world.","PeriodicalId":14269,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Science, Technology and Society","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134911876","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This application is designed to replace the conventional education administration system with an integrated system that is easy to use. The research method used is a qualitative approach with a case study as the research design. Data were collected through observation, interview, and documentation. As part of the Medan Aviation Polytechnic, the Aircraft Maintenance Technology Study Program (TPPU) plays an important role in vocational education and has been certified as an Approved Aircraft Maintenance Training Organization (AMTO) by DKPPU. However, the management of AMTO currently faces various challenges that need to be addressed, including issues in administration and accessibility. The implementation of this application has proven to be able to improve the quality of AMTO management in a systematic and organized manner, achieving the expected efficiency. This application simplifies the management of schedules, registration, and monitoring and evaluation of education administration. It is hoped that this application can assist Medan Aviation Polytechnic in improving the efficiency and effectiveness of education implementation, and encourage the formation of a modern and innovative \"Smart Vocational Training Centre\".","PeriodicalId":14269,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Science, Technology and Society","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135734418","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The research method used is a literature study that focuses on the theme of Community Social Empowerment, formal and non-formal education. Resources come from secondary data in the form of public documents from the Office of Social Workers and Transmigration; Strategic Plan Document (RENSTRA) Cirebon City Education Office 2016-2021; and relevant literature. The results of the study consist of two sub-discussions. First, social empowerment of underprivileged communities through formal education is carried out in a simple and synergistic manner in accordance with the conditions of the community. Second, empowerment of low-income communities through non-formal channels is carried out through the concept of the Community Learning Activity Center (PKBM) and the Course & Training Institute (LKP). Both educational programs are said to be successful if there is a change for the better where the influence can be seen in the formation of characters such as self-confidence, creativity, and individual independence. The expected implication is that local governments can evaluate the Strategic Plan (RENSTRA) of the Cirebon City Education Office for 2016-2021 and carry out intense collaboration by collaborating with the private sector and educational institutions so that in the future, community social empowerment has a better contribution to national development.
