This book presents a collection of scientific papers from 1980 to 2021 in the fields of hydrology and water resource management to support environmentally sound of agricultural production process. This collection of scientific works is of course the result of decades of continuous research and already presented at various scientific meetings, nationally and internationally. This book is also a reflection of the author career as a lecturer at higher education institution as well as a scientist in his field. This book provides also a new perspective on the role of hydrology and water resource management, not only limited to the scope of the production process for raw materials of food, but also extending to bio-landscape architecture. This new view is a phenomenon of the development of science and technology to understand increasingly complex multi-sectoral problems so that they can be seen more clearly. The development of science and technology is also accompanied by the addition of variants of social, economic, cultural and even political problems. The solution approach can no longer be overcome by using only one disciplinary approach, but must go through various disciplines. The form can be multi-intra-inter-disciplinary. As a result, there is a slice between fields of science that must be accepted as a necessity. This is a phenomenon of a scientific paradigm shift that is triggered by the wider intersection between fields of science, thus providing new treasures, new spaces, and new ideas in placing overlapping scientific fields as a challenge.

This new volume, Information Security Management Systems: A Novel Framework and Software as a Tool for Compliance with Information Security Standard, looks at information security management system standards, risk management associated with information security, and information security awareness within an organization. The authors aim to improve the overall ability of organizations to participate, forecast, and actively assess their information security circumstances. It is important to note that securing and keeping information from parties who do not have authorization to access such information is an extremely important issue. To address this issue, it is essential for an organization to implement an ISMS standard such as ISO 27001 to address the issue comprehensively. The authors of this new volume have constructed a novel security framework (ISF) and subsequently used this framework to develop software called Integrated Solution Modeling (ISM), a semi-automated system that will greatly help organizations comply with ISO 27001 faster and cheaper than other existing methods. In addition, ISM does not only help organizations to assess their information security compliance with ISO 27001, but it can also be used as a monitoring tool, helping organizations monitor the security statuses of their information resources as well as monitor potential threats. ISM is developed to provide solutions to solve obstacles, difficulties, and expected challenges associated with literacy and governance of ISO 27001. It also functions to assess the RISC level of organizations towards compliance with ISO 27001. The information provide here will act as blueprints for managing information security within business organizations. It will allow users to compare and benchmark their own processes and practices against these results shown and come up with new, critical insights to aid them in information security standard (ISO 27001) adoption.

"Setiap kali memutar saluran televisi, yang tampak adalah berita tentang pertikaian. Lama kelamaan saya berpikir, Indonesia jangan-jangan memang pantas disebut sebagai negeri penuh pertikaian. Menyitir lagu Koes Plus, Bukan lautan tetapi kolam nafsu, kail dan jala cukup membuatmu bertikai, Setiap hari ada topan dan badai yang kau temui, ikan dan udang sudah sulit ditemukan ."

The limitless human imagination is a great prospect that continues to flow and melt into a unified whole so that it has an extraordinary bond towards a single point of scientific thinking. This thinking leads all scientific civilizations to be collectively arranged in a systematic way like a network that strengthens each other. Scientific thinking based on critical thinking wrapped in technology also gives the nuances of the current human civilization that led to the industrial revolution 5.0, namely society. In facing the era of society 5.0, the world of education plays an important role in improving the quality of human resources. Students are expected to have 21st century life skills known as 4Cs, namely creativity, critical thinking, communication, and collaboration.

Buku ini mengembangkan Model Transformasi “DRA” berdasarkan kebenaran universal “Hukum Newton tentang Gerak” yang diperkaya world class best practices dan proven methodologies dari 20 tahun lebih pengalaman penulis di bidang konsultansi strategi, manajemen, dan bisnis termasuk 6 tahun di Booz Allen Hamilton, 10 tahun di Prosval Consulting, dan 2 tahun pengembangan dan implementasi program transformasi di sebuah perusahaan konglomerasi terbesar di Indonesia bersama McKinsey & Company. Agar aplikatif dan efektif, buku ini membahas penerapan Model Transformasi “DRA” melalui studi kasus transformasi GE dan berbagai perusahaan terkemuka di Indonesia yang menempatkan penulis sebagai konsultan (Telkomsel, Sinar Mas Group, Pertamina, Garuda) dan pimpinan proyek transformasi (PP, AP I, AP II). Selain untuk perusahaan, buku ini juga bermanfaat untuk keberhasilan transformasi di organisasi nirlaba, yayasan sosial, unit perusahaan, kelompok/grup/tim, dan individu.
