Authors: Dwi Hapsoro Dian , Karina Dhiya Syifa , Darmawan Muhammad , Wahono Puji , Pahala Indra
Published: November 2024

This research aims to investigate the influence of profitability, leverage, sales growth, and book-tax differences on tax avoidance in the food and beverage industry. The research sample consists of companies in the food and beverage sector listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during the period from 2018 to 2022. Using multiple regression analysis, this study examines the relationship between the dependent variable, which is the cash effective tax rate (CETR), and the independent variables, profitability (ROA), leverage (DER), sales growth, and book-tax differences. The results show that profitability has a negative impact on tax avoidance, leverage has a negative impact on tax avoidance, sales growth contributes positively to tax avoidance, and book-tax differences have a positive effect on tax avoidance. The influence of profitability, leverage, sales growth, and book-tax differences on tax avoidance is 37.5%, as indicated by the R-Square value of 0.375 for CETR. This indicates that there are 62.5% other factors not identified in this research that also affect tax avoidance. This research is important for policymakers as it shows that although factors such as profitability and leverage play a role in tax avoidance, there are many other factors that must also be considered. Therefore, further research is recommended to include additional variables and involve data from companies in other sectors to gain a broader perspective. This can help in formulating more effective policies in controlling tax avoidance across various industries. The findings provide significant insights into the complexity of tax avoidance and emphasize the need for a more holistic approach in tax policy enforcement.

Published: November 2024

The number of true partner hospitals in North Sumatra Province has increased since 2012 by 288 units to 310 units in 2023. The increasing number of true partner hospital units does not necessarily mean that true partner hospital services are adequate. This research aims to measure the factors that influence consumer satisfaction and to provide technical responses sourced from the Voice of Customer. This research uses a quantitative analysis method that combines the Importance Performance Analysis (IPA) method to determine service quality factors that influence consumer satisfaction and the Quality Function Deployment method is used to provide a technical response. This methodology uses a quantitative approach using the IPA method to show factors that are among the main priorities, namely services related to providing appropriate diagnoses by doctors at true partner hospitals, services related to responses by true partner hospitals to complaints from patients, and service attributes related to the suitability of drugs given by doctors at true partner hospitals. Increasing responses to patient complaints is a top priority that must be carried out by true partner hospitals to increase patient satisfaction. The technical response with the highest priority order is that medical personnel must provide clear answers regarding the treatment the patient is undergoing, and doctors at true partner hospitals must be more careful in administering medication that is appropriate to the patient’s illness.
The Fraud Pentagon Analysis In Financial Companies On The Indonesia Stock Exchange
Authors: Yosef Maria Christa , Sumarna Alfonsa Dian
Published: November 2024

This research was conducted to examine the effect of the fraud pentagon theory developed by Crowe Horwath on the possibility of fraud in financial statements. The sample used in this study came from 105 financial companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during the 2020-2022 period. Sampling was carried out using the purposive sampling method. The data analysis method is logistic regression test analysis, processed using the Eviews application. The Pentagon theory posits five key factors: pressure, opportunity, competence, arrogance, and rationalisation. Our analysis revealed that while pressure and opportunity, as proxied by financial targets, stability, external pressure, and ineffective supervision, did not significantly influence fraud risk, the quality of the external auditor emerged as a significant determinant. Conversely, changes in auditors (rationalisation), directors (competence), and the frequency of CEO pictures (arrogance) did not appear to be significant predictors of fraud. This study suggests that external audit quality is more significant in preventing financial statement fraud than the traditional fraud triangle (pressure, opportunity, rationalisation) or other factors like competence and arrogance.

Published: November 2024

This study explored the implementation of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) based on Tri Hita Karana in supporting community empowerment in Klungkung village, Bali. The method employed was a descriptive qualitative approach, utilizing data collection techniques such as interviews and documentation. The research informants included 10 purposively selected respondents, encompassing company representatives, village heads, and beneficiary communities to ensure relevant information. This study identified community participation and involvement in CSR programs focusing on education, health, and local economic improvement. Despite the positive impact, significant challenges remain, such as low community awareness and inadequate information about the CSR program of the company. By involving the community at every stage of planning and evaluation, the company can ensure the relevance and success of the program. The study emphasized the need for enhanced socialization, transparency, and two-way communication between the company and the community to overcome these obstacles. Involving local community leaders and youth in the socialization process is expected to improve community understanding and participation, fostering a more harmonious relationship. The results provided new insights into the dynamics between the company, village government, and community, highlighting the importance of collaboration in achieving sustainable community empowerment.
The Influence of Light Colour on the Behaviour of Atlantic Cod in an Experimental Setting
Authors: Blackmore Robert , Montevecchi William , Hawkins Ryan , Bitton Pierre-Paul
Published: November 2024

Fishing technologies often exploit the visual sensitivity of target species to alter their behaviours. Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua Linnaeus, 1758) are an economically important species, commonly targeted by fisheries in the North Atlantic, yet the behaviour of adult Atlantic cod in reaction to the simultaneous presentation of various light stimuli has not been assessed in an isolated setting to determine if there is a preference for certain light qualities. To assess the influence that artificial light may have on the behaviour of Atlantic cod, we investigated the movement of wild-caught cod in a laboratory setting with green, blue, and white light with a blank control presented in paired choice tests. We predicted that green light would have the greatest influence on cod behaviour and that they would preferentially spend more time in proximity to that light condition. The findings show that cod behaved consistently across trials and across experimental sessions, and that the right side of the arena was preferred regardless of the colours of light presented. These findings indicate that cod do not prefer to spend more time in proximity to certain colours of light in an artificial environment, which has direct implications for animal husbandry, fisheries research, and behavioural ecology.
Anticipating Directness Strategies in Requests by Moroccan and Norwegian Speakers of English
Authors: Binij Nourddine , Latif Hicham
Published: November 2024

Based on Brown and Levinson’s Weightiness Formula of face-threatening acts, this study investigates the feasibility of anticipating the degree of (in)directness used by ESL and EFL speakers when making requests in critical incidents. Furthermore, the study also compares the similarities and differences in (in)directness strategies between Moroccans and Norwegians when requesting in English. To meet these objectives, 30 Moroccan and 30 Norwegian English speakers completed an open-ended Written Discourse Completion Task. The request situations were analyzed using Brown and Levinson’s (1987) weightiness formula, whereas the requests were categorized based on Blum-Kulka’s (1984) requesting categories. The findings reveal that it is not possible to predict (in)directness when requesting in critical incidents. The analysis also suggests that Norwegian ESL speakers tend to make more indirect requests than Moroccan EFL speakers in critical incidents. By highlighting these variations, the study provides valuable insights into the impact of linguistic and cultural backgrounds on (in)directness strategies.

Ramadan and Road Traffic Crashes Nexus: A Multi-Professional Perspective
Authors: Ali Yousaf , Durrani Ahmed Owais , Sabir Muhammad
Published: November 2024

Muslims across the world observe fast during the month of Ramadan. Fasting may have positive and negative impacts on the human body, and subsequently, it may have implications for road traffic crashes (RTC). While the existing scholarly literature discusses fasting and the RTC nexus, hardly any study ranks various factors contributing to RTC during Ramadan. This study investigates the RTC and Ramadan nexus while ranking social and health factors associated with Ramadan. The study is based on surveys from Pakistani experts considering the local context. The study also contributes methodologically by using a triangular fuzzy approach incorporated with the Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to an Ideal Solution (TOPSIS), a multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) technique. The analyses suggest lack of sleep, absences of licensing and driver carelessness were three major sources of RTC during Ramadan. Weather had the least effect and neither the number of vehicles nor nutrition were identified as critical factors in road traffic crashes.

While life-saving, continuous-flow left ventricular assist devices (CF-LVADs) are associated with significant risks of thrombosis, necessitating lifelong antithrombotic therapy. Pump thrombosis and thromboembolic complications remain persistent challenges despite advancements in device technology. Data presented in this dissertation indicate that patients with CF-LVADs are in a hypercoagulable state while receiving antithrombotic therapy. This state is driven by persistent endothelial-, platelet- and contact system activation, likely due to the artificial surface of the device and the high shear stress it generates. These findings advance our understanding of the mechanisms behind mechanical cardiac device-induced thrombosis and provide a foundation for developing more effective preventive strategies. Moreover, our findings indicate that continuous exposure to shear stress of the CF-LVAD leads to platelet dysfunction, depleting platelet storage pools and increasing the risk of hemorrhage. This highlights the difficulty of balancing effective antithrombotic therapy with the prevention of bleeding. To be able to investigate the thrombogenicity of cardiac devices or evaluate the effectiveness and safety of new antithrombotic therapies with respect to artificial surface, shear stress and flow field, we developed the in-vitro model MarioHeart. The model features a closed torus containing a mechanical heart valve, resembling the anatomical geometry of the proximal ascending aorta and aortic annulus. MarioHeart has a simple design which induces well-defined fluid dynamics resulting in physiologically non-turbulent flow without stasis of the blood by generating flow through the valve by semirotational motion of the fluid-filled torus. This model presents an innovative approach to in-vitro flow testing by avoiding internal driving systems and superfluous moving components.
Augmented Reality Assessments to Support Human Spaceflight Performance Evaluation

INTRODUCTION: As next-generation space exploration missions require increased autonomy from crews, real-time diagnostics of astronaut health and performance are essential for mission operations, especially for determining extravehicular activity readiness. An augmented reality (AR) system may be a viable tool allowing holographic visual cueing to replace physical objects used in traditional assessments.

METHODS: In this study, 20 healthy adults were compared in an Ingress and Egress Task and Obstacle Weave Task with holographic and physical objects to determine the effect of AR on performance. Subjects performed each task three times within each modality.

RESULTS: AR exhibited increased task completion times with greater head pitch angles across the two tasks. The head and torso angular velocity showed a reduction in magnitude in both tasks within AR, while decreased magnitudes of head and torso acceleration were observed for the Obstacle Weave Task. The subjects were more deliberate and careful in their task completion during the Ingress and Egress Task within AR, stepping higher and lowering their heads further.

DISCUSSION: Subjects successfully completed both tasks using AR and meaningful assessments of their performance were obtained. The increased head pitch observed supported the hologram visualization with the reduced AR field of view. The increased task time and reduced torso angular velocity were compared to strategies used by astronauts postflight while experiencing sensorimotor impairments. AR may be a useful instrumentation solution for assessing in-flight performance, providing embedded sensors and onboard computations; however, thresholds for assessing extravehicular activity readiness must be developed.

INTRODUCTION: When a pilot is referred for nasal polyposis, his/her flight fitness may be questionable. The objective of this retrospective study was to describe a case series of barotrauma in a pilot population exhibiting nasal polyposis and to discuss the decisions about their flight fitness.

METHODS: There were 17 pilots with nasal polyposis who were referred to the Head and Neck Department of the National Pilot Expertise Center. The study was declarative on the occurrence of ear and sinus barotrauma during the last 5 yr. Nasofibroscopy was performed to determine the stage of the nasosinus polyposis.

RESULTS: Out of 17 pilots, 1 did not obtain flight fitness clearance. Among the 16 who received fitness clearance to fly, 2 had restrictions on their flight fitness. Out of 17 patients, 8 had sinus barotrauma and 13 had middle ear barotrauma. A total of 21 cases of sinus barotrauma were reported, 17 involving the frontal sinus and 4 involving the maxillary sinus. Also reported were 48 cases of middle ear barotrauma.

DISCUSSION: Flight fitness was based on the recurrence of barotrauma episodes, their severity, in-flight incapacitation due to hyperalgesic sinusitis or otitis, and the failure of medical and/or surgical treatments. In our series, nasal polyposis did not seem to be a risk factor for severe barotrauma. The results made it possible to determine a patient’s fitness to fly and any restrictions. The published studies on the resumption of flight for patients who have nasal polyposis and our experience suggest that nasal polyposis may allow a safe pursuit of aviation activity.

INTRODUCTION: Flight attendants are constantly exposed to high-stress environments that could lead to the development of depression. The COVID-19 pandemic brought out new risk factors that could affect flight attendants’ mental health, such as reduced flight hours and fear of the disease itself, which other studies have shown was associated with depression. We aimed to find out whether reduced flight hours, fear of COVID-19, and other factors were associated with depression in flight attendants during the COVID-19 pandemic.

METHODS: This cross-sectional study was conducted at the Directorate General Civil Aviation Medical Center Indonesia and Garuda Sentra Medika in 2022. We included flight attendants who were still employed before and after the start of the pandemic. Data were collected using several questionnaires, including the General Health Questionnaire-12 to screen for depression and Fear of COVID-19 for fear levels.

RESULTS: We obtained data from 159 respondents, of whom 25.2% of them had depression. Multivariate analysis showed that the reduction of flight hours 1 yr after the start of the pandemic and fear of COVID-19 were found to significantly increase the likelihood of depression by 2.3 times and 3.9 times, respectively.

DISCUSSION: During the pandemic, depression was found to be highly prevalent among flight attendants and was associated with the reduction of flight hours and fear of COVID-19.
