The Banda Sea, the largest and deepest ocean basin in the Indonesian Seas and a pivotal reservoir of the Indonesian Throughflow (ITF) exhibits significant seasonal variability in surface heat transport (SHT). This study investigates the influence of mesoscale eddies, sea surface wind (SSW), Ekman transport, and radiation as well as their complex interplay in shaping the SHT. The complex bathymetry of the region fosters a three-dimensional circulation pattern, facilitating the mixing of Pacific and Indian waters into the distinctive Indonesian sea. Mesoscale anticyclonic eddy (AE) and cyclonic eddy (CE) play crucial roles in regulating vertical heat distribution through upwelling and downwelling mechanisms. From 2006 to 2020, 236 AE and 193 CE events were identified, peaking in April and November (transition periods), respectively. During the northwest monsoon (NWM), SHT decreases due to weaker wind-driven currents and reduced advective export, which in turn leads to the accumulation of warm surface waters. While during the southeast monsoon (SEM), SHT increases as water is exported to the Indian Ocean. The ITF modulates the effects of CE and AE, with mesoscale eddy activity significantly influencing heat distribution during monsoon transitions and peak ITF periods. The June–August increase in eddies also enhances freshwater transport in the Ombai Strait and Timor Passage. Seasonal variations in radiation and wind patterns further impact SHT. During the NWM, higher radiation leads to positive SST anomalies and downwelling, intensifying evaporation. Conversely, lower radiation during the SEM results in lower SST anomalies. However, the ocean's energy content remains relatively high due to convergent net heat transport. During transitional periods, net heat transport approaches zero, and SSW are relatively lower, contributing to a decrease in evaporation. Understanding the seasonal variability of SHT in the Banda Sea is crucial for predicting regional and global climat

This study compares the disaster management laws of Thailand and Japan. The research reveals significant differences in legislative approaches, reflecting each country's unique historical, and governance contexts. Japan's law demonstrates a more comprehensive approach to the disaster management cycle and stakeholder involvement, with integrated financial provisions. Thailand's law emphasizes organizational aspects. Both prioritize response measures but show potential gaps in addressing preparedness and mitigation phases. The study identifies areas for further investigation, including financial measures, and international cooperation approaches. This comparative analysis offers valuable insights into both countries' ongoing development of disaster management systems and highlights potential areas for mutual learning and improvement in disaster risk reduction strategies. Creating resilience in the society through the core of the government working and stakeholders' given authorities.

When people talk about the growing ubiquity of the computer pretence they tend to fall back on two images: the computer as tool and the computer as toy; objective instrumentality and engrossing play. This paper examines another dimension to the impact of the computer on individuals: a subjective dimension. What people do with computers weaves itself into the way they see the world. People use a discourse about computers for thinking and talking about other things, about politics, religion, education, and about themselves and other people. The subjective dimension of the computer presence is not merely a matter of discourse, of using the computer intellectually as a metaphor or model. There is another, and more emotionally charged aspect which does not engage ideas about computers as much as the immediate quality of an individuals experience when working with them. Working with computers can be a way of 'working through' powerful feelings. This essay develops this idea by using as a case study a group of computer users for whom moans related to control are particularly salient. For a first generation of computer hobbyists, controlling the computer which they experience as a safe and completely knowable microworld is a way to deal with frustrations and aspirations, both personal and political, that have nothing to do with the computer per se.
