Governing sustainable finance: insights from Indonesia

ABSTRACT Transforming financial systems has been considered a promising avenue to ensure financial flows consistent with low carbon and climate resilient development. An important first step to do so has often been the development of sustainable finance roadmaps. Drawing on key stakeholder interviews in Indonesia in 2019–2020, this article examines how Indonesia’s sustainable finance roadmap has unfolded on the ground and investigates key challenges to its effective implementation. The study finds that there has been high procedural compliance by financial institutions through developing sustainable finance action plans and submitting annual sustainability reports to the financial regulator. However, there is considerable variation and inconsistency in interpreting what constitutes a ‘green’ project among financial institutions, enabling some financial institutions to engage in little more than tokenism. With the limited regulatory oversight currently provided, it is difficult to see how financial institutions might be incentivised to do more or how tangible sustainability outcomes can be achieved. This article proposes potential means of overcoming some of the blockages in implementing the roadmap, which include greater intervention to incentivise climate finance by Indonesia’s central bank. Key policy insights Indonesia’s sustainable finance roadmap is well underway in which most financial institutions have been compliant to sustainable finance regulations. However, with limited substantive regulatory oversight it is difficult to see tangible sustainable outcomes; Sustainable finance regulations and regulatory oversight needs to be improved through enhanced disclosure standards and risk management processes and incentives for compliance; Greater intervention by Indonesia’s central bank is needed to fast-track sustainable finance by stipulating green macro prudential regulations that incentivise or direct resources away from carbon intensive sector.
Study of Wetting Behavior of BMIM+/PF6– Ionic Liquid on TiO2 (110) Surface by Molecular Dynamics Simulation

In the present work, wetting behavior of an ionic liquid droplet containing 1-methyl-3-butylimidazolium and fluorophosphate on the titanium dioxide (110) surface is studied using a molecular dynamics simulation. On the basis of the anisotropic characteristics of titanium dioxide surface, contact angles were calculated along different directions which are in agreement with experimental data. The obtained results show that a cation-rich layer is spread on the surface. Imidazolium rings of cations of ionic liquid are parallel to the titanium dioxide surface, but their orientation in the upper layer is almost vertical. Such positioning leads to the butyl-ring substituents locating at the top of the first layer to create a relatively empty space of cations while resulting in an anion-rich region. The cations and anions form a spherical shape on top of the first layer. Cross-sectional analysis of the ionic liquid reveals the circular configuration of cations and anions within the nanodroplet. The above observat.
TRANSFORMATION THE LOGISTICS TO DIGITAL LOGISTICS: THEORETICAL APPROACH

In connection with Industry 4.0, professional publications are mostly focused on the introduction of new technologies, research of new and intelligent materials, etc. which mean evolution compared to the present. However, it is also necessary to focus on the implementation of the product within the supplier-customer relationship, as the customer's impact on the final product is significant. The article deals with the transformation of the Supply Chain using the DDMRP methodology, which aims to maintain best practices, address their shortcomings, and integrate pull-based replenishment tactics. It is a comprehensive tool that integrates the entire Supply Chain, including the integration of customers and suppliers.

CEO Compensation and Firm Performance: The Role of ESG Transparency

Chief executive officers (CEOs) of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) firms are known to take lesser pay and engage themselves in corporate social responsibility (CSR) activities to achieve the dual objective of the enhancement of firm’s performance as well as benefit for stakeholders in the long run. The present study examines the role of ESG transparency in strengthening the impact of firm performance on total CEO pay in ESG firms. A panel of 67 firms for the period of 2014–2019 has been analyzed using the two-step system GMM model, with NSE Nifty 100 ESG Index as the data sample and ESG scores from Bloomberg database as a proxy for transparency. Findings reveal that Environmental and Governance disclosure scores have the potential to intensify the negative relationship between firm performance and CEO compensation, while Social disclosure scores do not. In addition, various firm-specific, board-specific, and CEO-specific attributes have also been considered controls affecting remuneration. This paper contributes to the literature by exploring the effect of exhibiting ESG transparency and its nexus with CEO pay as well as firm performance.
Effects of vibration rolling on ankle range of motion and ankle muscle stiffness in stroke patients: a crossover study

Background: Vibration stimulation has emerged as a treatment tool to aid spasticity during physical therapy. However, the benefits of vibration rolling (VR) on interventions for stroke patients are unclear. This study aimed to investigate the effect of VR intervention on the range of motion (ROM) and ankle stiffness in stroke patients. Methods: In this crossover design study, seven stroke patients completed two test sessions (one VR and one non-VR [NVR]) in a randomized order, with 48 h of rest between each session. Participants completed intervention and its measurements on the same day. The measurements included ankle dorsiflexion and plantarflexion ROM and stiffness of ankle muscles, including the tibialis anterior and gastrocnemius lateral and medial muscles. Results: After VR, ankle dorsiflexion ROM, gastrocnemius lateral stiffness, and gastrocnemius medial stiffness improved significantly (all P < 0.05). After NVR, only gastrocnemius lateral stiffness improved significantly (P < 0.05). Furthermore, compared with the change values for ankle dorsiflexion ROM and gastrocnemius lateral stiffness, VR showed a more significant difference than NVR (P < 0.05). Conclusions: VR improved ankle ROM and muscle stiffness. Therefore, we suggest that practitioners should consider VR as an intervention to increase dorsiflexion ROM and gastrocnemius stiffness in stroke patients.
Mass balance for on-line αkLa estimation in activated sludge oxidation ditch

The capacity of an aeration system to transfer oxygen to a given activated sludge oxidation ditch is characterised by the α k La parameter. This parameter is difficult to measure under normal plant working conditions. Usually this measurement involves off-gas techniques or static mass balance. Therefore an on-line technique has been developed and tested in order to evaluate αkLa. This technique deduces α k La from a data analysis of low cost sensor measurement: two flow meters and one oxygen probe. It involves a dynamic mass balance applied to aeration cycles selected according to given criteria. This technique has been applied to a wastewater treatment plant during four years. Significant variations of the α k La values have been detected while the number of blowers changes. This technique has been applied to another plant during two months.
Assessment of knowledge and practice toward infection control and prevention standards among intern doctors in Saudi Arabia

Background: Patients and healthcare workers are susceptible to health care associated infections if they are not compliant with infection prevention and control standards. There are no previous studies regarding the assessment of knowledge and practice of intern doctors toward infection prevention and control precautions in Saudi Arabia.Methods: A cross-sectional study that was carried-out on 259 intern doctors at the main hospitals of Riyadh city in Saudi Arabia. A self-administered questionnaire was distributed to the participants after validation during their clinical rounds and their morning meetings of their departments. Data were analysed using SPSS version 21.0. Results: Out of 259 participants, the overall mean score for knowledge assessment was 79.4±7.52. For hand hygiene mean score was 23.53±2.66 out of 30, personal protective equipment mean score was 20.63±2.49 out of 25. A significant low level of knowledge regarding needle stick injury with a score of 19.18±2.50 out of 30. Regarding, knowledge towards isolation precautions, around 50% reported adequate knowledge regarding isolation precautions. Meanwhile, 78 (30.1%) denied receiving any form of training or orientation in infection control. Conclusions: There is a moderate level of knowledge and satisfactory level of practice among intern doctors in Riyadh. However, there was some misconceptions regarding needle stick injury and isolation precaution. Implementing infection control education and training programs is recommended before starting clinical practice.
Understanding Size Effects and Forming Limits in the Micro-Stamping of Industrial Stainless Steel Foils

This study investigates the effect of grain size and composition on the material properties and forming limits of commercially supplied stainless steel foil for bipolar plate manufacture via tensile, stretch forming and micro-stamping trials. It is shown that in commercially supplied stainless steel the grain size can vary significantly and that ‘size effects’ can be influenced by prior steel processing and composition effects. While the forming limits in micro-stamping appear to be directly linked to the plane strain forming limits of the individual stainless steel alloys, there was a clear effect of the tensile anisotropy. In contrast to previous studies, forming severity and the likelihood of material failure did not increase with a decreasing channel profile radius. This was related to inaccuracies of the forming tool profile shape.
Influence of chloride ions concentration on the development of severe localised corrosion and its effects on the electrochemical response of the 2198-T8 alloy

The development of severe localised corrosion (SLC) on the 2198-T8 alloy was investigated in solutions of various NaCl concentrations (0.001, 0.005 and 0.01 mol L−1). Immersion tests, optical profilometry, conventional and local electrochemical analyses were performed to evaluate the corrosion behaviour of the alloy. Immersion tests showed that the alloy is susceptible to SLC in all conditions, although the pits sizes were dependent on the solution concentration. The largest anodic areas, corresponding to SLC sites, were observed for the sample immersed in 0.001 mol L−1 NaCl, whereas pits with similar sizes were observed for the samples immersed in solutions with 0.005 and 0.01 mol L−1 of NaCl. Moreover, the maximum depth of attack was observed for the sample immersed in 0.001 mol L−1 NaCl. These results were in agreement with the scanning ion-selective electrode technique (SIET) maps which showed stronger acidification on the sample exposed to 0.001 mol L−1 NaCl solution.
Analysis of damping ratio on the optimization of geometrically nonlinear truss structures subjected to dynamic loading

The objective of this paper is to present the formulation for optimizing truss structures with geometric nonlinearity under dynamic loads, provide pertinent case studies and investigate the influence of damping on the final result. The type of optimization studied herein aims to determine the cross-sectional areas that will minimize the weight of a given structural system, by imposing constraints on nodal displacements and axial stresses. The analyses are carried out using Sequential Quadratic Programming (SQP), available in MATLAB’s Optimization Toolbox™. The nonlinear finite space truss element is defined with an updated Lagrangian formulation, and the geometrically nonlinear dynamic analysis performed herein combines the Newmark method with Newton-Raphson iterations. The dynamic analysis approach was validated by comparing the results obtained with solutions available in the literature as well as with numerical models developed with ANSYS® 18.2. A number of optimization examples of planar and space trusses under dynamic loading with geometric nonlinearity are presented. Results indicate that the consideration of damping effects may lead to a significant reduction in structural weight and that such weight reduction is proportional to increases in damping ratio.
Kepemimpinan kepala sekolah dalam menjaga tata kelola sekolah selama masa pandemi Covid-19

This study aims to analyze the leadership of school principals in learning during the Covid-19 pandemic. This study used a quantitative descriptive research method with as many as 63 school principals as respondents who were scattered throughout Indonesia. Data collection was carried out online using an open questionnaire via the google form platform. The data were then analyzed using theme and percentage analysis to measure and analyze the conditions of learning governance during the Covid-19 pandemic. The results showed that 54.55% of the learning activities in schools were carried out online during the Covid-19 pandemic. Then in online learning activities 36.89% use google classroom, 20.39% use zoom, and 15.53% use Whatsapp. Most of the applications used to carry out online learning activities are Google classroom, Zoom and WhatsApp and a few others use other applications. Some of the governance processes in schools have been carried out well but some have not been maximized because they are constrained by the availability of facilities, networks, tools and the limited skills of teachers in using technological media. Learning strategies as well as discussions and strengthening between school principals and school personnel are needed to maximize school governance especially during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Historical Tree Species Height Growth Pattern Associated With Climate Change in Western North America

BackgroundThe climate variables effect on tree growth in boreal and temperate forests has received increased interest in the global context of climate change. However, most studies are geographically limited and involved few tree species. Here, sixteen tree species across western North America were used to investigate tree response to climate change at the species range scale. MethodsForest inventory data from 36,944 stands established between 1600 and 1968 throughout western Canada and USA were summarized. Height growth (total height at breast-height age of 50 years) of healthy dominant and co-dominant trees were related to annual and summer temperatures, annual and summer Palmer Drought Severity Index (PDSI, and tree establishment date (ED). Climate-induced height growth patterns were then tested to determine links to spatial environment (soil conditions and geographic locations), species range (coastal, interior, and both ranges) and species traits (shade tolerance and leaf form), using linear mixed model for the global height growth and general linear model to test the height growth patterns for each species. ResultsIncrease of temperatures and PDSI had a positive effect on height growth for most of the study species, whereas Alaska yellow-cedar (Chamaecyparis nootkatensis, (D. Don) Spach) height growth declined with ED. All explaining variables and the interactions explained 59% of the total height growth variance. Although tree height growth response was species-specific, increased height growth during the 20th century was more pronounced for coastal ranged species, high shade tolerant species, and broadleaf species. Furthermore, height growth increase occurred mostly on rich soil, at the northernmost species range, and, unexpectedly, at lower elevations. A decline in height growth for some species further north and especially higher in elevation possibly related to increased cloudiness and precipitation. However, drought conditions remain in interior areas despite moving northward and upward that decrease height growth. ConclusionThese results highlight the general trend (species characteristics and range) and the species-specific height patterns, indicating the spatio-temporal complexity of the growth response to recent global climate change.
Climate change and monetary policy: issues for policy design and modelling

This paper explores the interaction of monetary policy and climate change as they jointly influence macroeconomic outcomes, connecting policy and outcomes in each realm to the implications of the other. It also explores the nature of the macroeconomic model that would be required to explore the links between monetary policy and climate policy. The paper has four parts. First, it reviews the relevant macroeconomic outcomes of emissions mitigation policy and climatic disruption, exploring how negative supply shocks can affect central banks’ ability to forecast and manage inflation. Second, the paper reviews basic approaches to monetary policy, including inflation and output targeting, and other responsibilities that may fall to central bankers. Third, we bring together the two sets of issues to consider the appropriate monetary framework in a carbon-constrained and climatically disrupted world and to highlight the climate policy frameworks that can make monetary policies more efficient and effective. We then summarize the nature of the macroeconomic modelling framework that is needed to better analyse climate and monetary policy interactions. We conclude that policy responses to climate change can have important implications for monetary policy and vice versa and that, in light of the urgency of ambitious climate action, these policy spheres should be brought together more explicitly and more appropriate macroeconomic modelling frameworks developed.
Exploring young children’s activity and participation change following 6 months’ power mobility experience

Introduction This pre-post study explored the effect of children’s 6 months’ experience in one of four early power mobility devices. Method Satisfaction with parent-selected goal achievement was measured using the wheelchair outcome measure for young people and compared with the assessment of learning powered mobility use, as well as device expectation fulfilment ratings. Results Forty-six children with mobility limitations, aged 13–68 months (mean 40.40; SD 15.60) participated. The most common condition was cerebral palsy (n = 33; 71.74%). The Wilcoxon signed rank test measured the positive change in goal achievement (z = 4.90; P<0.001; r = 0.51). Fair to good statistically significant Spearman’s correlations were observed between power mobility skill and goal achievement, as well as parent and therapist device expectation scores (rs = 0.48, 0.46 and 0.66, respectively; P<0.001). Parent and therapist ratings did not differ significantly. No statistically significant associations were found between goal achievement and child (age, diagnosis, abilities) or environmental factors (device, access method, loan length). Conclusion Children at all phases of power mobility skill, using various devices and access methods, can demonstrate activity and participation change following power mobility experience. This study adds validity evidence supporting the use of the wheelchair outcome measure for young people with young children by parent-proxy rating.

Effect of alkali treatment on the pore structure of lignite

To lower its hydroscopicity,the lignite was treated with different concentrations of sodium hydroxide.Nitrogen adsorption method and scanning electron microscope(SEM) were used to study the effect of treatment conditions on pore structure of Xilinhaot lignite.The results show that the surface areas of treated sample increased compared with that of raw coal when the sodium hydroxide concentration is less than 0.05 mol/L,and the surface areas decreased when the concentration increase continuously.The total pore volumes decreased when alkali concentrations of 0.01-0.5 mol/L,and increased slightly when alkali concentrations are less than 0.01 mol/L.With the increasing of sodium hydroxide concentration between 0.01 and 0.5 mol/L,both the mesoporous and microporous amount were gradually reduced,and the macroporous increased correspondingly.The adsorption-desorption loops imply the appearing of opening holes with smaller size and crack-shaped when alkali concentrations of 0.1-1 mol/L,but less effect happened when alkali concentrations of 0.001-0.05 mol/L.
