Minerals and ore deposits exploration using meta-heuristic based optimization on magnetic data
Authors: GOBASHY Mohamed , ABDELAZEEM Maha , ABDRABOU Mohamed
Published: August 2020

The difficulties in unravelling the tectonic structures, in some cases, prevent the understanding of the ore bodies' geometry, leading to mistakes in mineral exploration, mine planning, evaluation of ore deposits, and even mineral exploitation. For that reason, many geophysical techniques are introduced to reveal the type, dimension, and geometry of these structures. Among them, electric methods, self-potential, electromagnetic, magnetic and gravity methods. Global meta-heuristic technique using Whale Optimization Algorithm (WOA) has been utilized for assessing model parameters from magnetic anomalies due to a thin dike, a dipping dike, and a vertical fault like/shear zone geological structure. These structures are commonly associated with mineralization. This modern algorithm was firstly applied on a free-noise synthetic data and to a noisy data with three different levels of random noise to simulate natural and artificial anomaly disturbances. Good results obtained through the inversion of such synthetic examples prove the validity and applicability of our algorithm. Thereafter, the method is applied to real case studies taken from different ore mineralization resembling different geologic conditions. Data are taken from Canada, United States, Sweden, Peru, India, and Australia. The obtained results revealed good correlation with previous interpretations of these real field examples.

Ambient radioactivity originates mainly from natural sources and materials (rocks and soils, building and other man-made materials, and cosmic radiation), and less frequently from artificial radionuclides. A geoscientific comparative study of the geological structure of the Alpine-Carpathian and Himalayan mountain range systems primarily focused on the area of structure geology, tectonics, stratigraphy and petrology in connection with the in-situ sampling of magnetic susceptibility and radioactivity at rock outcrops was also utilized to perform continual monitoring and acquisition of the equivalent gamma dose rate values in the air of the surrounding environment. A Geiger-Müller dosimeter was used for continual recording at a sampling frequency of 2 minutes. Simultaneously, a data-logger was used to record the ambient temperature, humidity and pressure values at a sampling frequency of 4 minutes. The measurements cover the entire tour, in particular, Bratislava, Slovakia (42.5 hours) – flight (5.75 hours) – Dubai, United Arab Emirates (11.3 hours) – flight (4 hours) – Kathmandu, Nepal (12.2 days) – flight (4.8 hours) – Dubai (9 hours) – flight (6.25 hours) – Bratislava (48 hours) from 27 March 2019 to 15 April 2019. The levels of ambient radioactivity belonging to different environments are compared and discussed in the contribution. The differences are based on both the chemical composition of the geological basement and adequate building materials and the cosmic contribution. The results of the measurements show higher values of ambient radioactivity for the Nepal environments and lower values for Dubai, in comparison with Bratislava, and by far the highest, but safe values for international flights attributed to the high portion of cosmic radiation. The contribution was generated within the ambit of the research project APVV-16-0146 WECAFARE (WEstern CArpathians FAults REsearch) “Multidisciplinary research of the geophysical and structural parameters and environmental impacts of the faults of the Western Carpathians”.

Authors: Shah Ayaz Ali , Mohammad Tila , Saleem Muhammad
Published: August 2020

This research is about the drone strikes conducted by the U.S. government in the FATA region of Pakistan from Afghanistan. Though FATA is not a declared war zone, the U.S. still continues to carry out drone attack there for a comparative number advantage of drone technology. This war tactic has been very effective in targeting some high-profile terrorists; it is not without side effects. There is a consensus of opinion that drones have killed numerous civilians in the process of targeting the terrorists. This research tries to develop an understanding of how collateral damage may work to the advantage of non-state actors and terrorist organizations and how it helps fuel the process of radicalization in the aggrieved community. Data is collected through secondary sources. It is a source of radicalization of aggrieved people who resort to revenge the death of their dear ones.
Memory of love and death in N.V. Bolkunov’s novel “The road home”
Authors: Alekseeva L.F.
Published: August 2020

The purpose of the article is to draw attention to the poetics of the artistic time and
space in the story of the Great Patriotic War, written in the XXIst century. The author of “The Road Home” Nikolaj Bolkunov (1948–2010) did not see the war himself, but deeply understood its essence, emphasized the moral confrontation of the defenders of the Russian land and Nazi-fascist invaders destroying it, confident that they will succeed to break the ties between generations, to turn the subdued population into consumers of material goods, into those who are oblivious to their kin. Hermeneutical approach to the text (identification of the spiritual component) leads to identifying an issue, particularly significant for the author, the issue of succession, relationships between generations and mentalities, analysis of characters, adventurous and entertaining elements, love plotline, touching and tragic situations, landscape sketches, everyday and naturalistic details. Consistently revealed the roll call of military and post-war circumstances, determining the creation of a broad historical picture, the integrity of which is obtained due to the author’s closest proximity to lieutenant Minaev’s psychology, who became a few decades later an old man, Mikhalych. The piercingly tragic plot of chaste love illuminates the memory, the whole life of the main character, determines his inner setting to strengthen good, resilience in the protection of human dignity. Many episodes of the work paint the image of the enemy-destroyer, who deprived many people of our fatherland of shelter, bright youth, love, health, the very opportunity to live. The analysis of the text is combined with the involvement of biographical, literary materials. It is concluded that the story has an undoubted pedagogical potential and can be recommended for reading and studying by high school students, students of higher and further education institutions.
German literary ballad: on the issue of the genre genesis
Authors: Kozin A.A.
Published: August 2020

The main purpose of the article is to present the main stages of the development
of the genre of literary ballades in Europe, which is directly related to the Russian ballade, and the ballads by V.A. Zhukovsky in particular, included in the secondary school Curriculum. The novelty of the study is due to the fact that the article views holistically the experiments of I.W. Goethe’s with folklore, L. Gleim’s with benkelzang; lyric-epic poems in the style of Rococo by L.G.K. Helti’s, the work of I. Leven’s, I.H. Gunter’s and G.A. Burger’s. Thus, when reviewing the main sources that influenced the building of the literary ballad genre in Germany, the folklore, literary, historical, biographical and parody aspects were clearly identified. In the analysis, the principles of cultural-historical, psychological, comparative methods, and the mythological
school were used together. The article deals with the German ballade, because it was the poets of Germany of the XVIII century who paid close attention to the genre. The XVIII century for Germany is the time of cultural rise, when writers faced the question, among others, of creating new national literature. The ballad met many requirements for solving this problem, so it interested the poets. When creating a literary version of the genre, the national folklore was taken as the basis, but historical events, the literary situation of the time, and facts from the personal life were not overlooked. As the result, by the 70s of the XVIII century the main criteria of the genre had been developed, being embodied in G.A. Burger’s «Lenore». The latter was recognized by most German poets as the standard of the genre. «Lenore» was very popular in Russia, and was translated and interpreted in an original way by Russian poets, among whom a special role in this matter belongs to V.A. Zhukovsky.
Poetics of descriptions in the novel “A Hero of Our Time” by M.Yu. Lermontov in Literature classes
Authors: Kolokoltsev E.N.
Published: August 2020

The purpose of the study is to actualize the role of descriptions in the novel by M.
Yu. Lermontov “A Hero of Our Time” as an important constructive element of the narrative. The most common form of description in the novel is the descriptions of nature and descriptions of the characters’ portraits. The descriptions found a lively response in literature studies, literary criticism, in art criticism, which responded to the paintings of the poet-and-artist and illustrations for the novel. Naturally, it attracted the author’s attention to the study of the works of those scholars, who viewed the features of Lermontov’s narrative manner. In the stories that made up Lermontov’s novel, descriptions play an important compositional role: they accompany the narrative, the thoughts of the characters, and they are often motivated by the author. The article highlights a number of techniques that will allow students to specify ideas about the descriptions in the novel. The students’ comprehension of landscape descriptions can
be supported by drawing up a plan that will reflect the spatial and time-line structure of the story “Bela”, which represents both “travel notes” and the novelette. The use of reproductions of Lermontov’s Caucasian landscapes, similar in the object image to its verbal descriptions in the novel, serves as a visible emotional aid in the nature descriptions comprehension by schoolchildren. Turning to Pechorin’s psychological portrait caused such ways of discovery of his portrait features as drawing up a stylistic map that assists students to focus on linguistic means that the narrator uses to relate the hero image with his potential ingrain. The image and words are closely intertwined in the art print that performs the function of figure of speech and gives a spatial image to the piece of writing. The illustration serves as a means of specifying the students’ perceptions of the characters’ portraits, descriptions of nature and the related plot
situations. Ways to comprehend a literary text with the wide involvement of works of art assist students to learn about the peculiarities of Lermontov’s narrative manner and facilitate their aesthetic development.

Water Aerobics as a Means of Increasing Motivation of Students to Swimming
Authors: Monakhova E.G.
Published: August 2020

The article reveals the problems of motivating students to do swimming in the framework of the academic discipline “Elective disciplines in physical education and sports”. Swimming training according to the generally accepted methodology does not correspond to the interests of most female students. At a student age, girls pay significant attention to the beauty of their body, so they choose the systems of physical exercises that contribute to the harmonious development of the body. They have an increased interest in various areas of health-improving aerobics both on land and in water, for example, water aerobics. The main advantage of water aerobics is the possibility of including students of various levels of physical fitness in the classes. In addition, physical exercises in water effectively relieve psycho emotional stress and form swimming skills. The introduction of water aerobics into the practice of the process of teaching swimming girls will improve the effectiveness of the learning process in this discipline.

Fuzzy Measures: A solution to deal with community detection problems for networks with additional information
Authors: Gutiérrez Inmaculada , Gómez Daniel , Castro Javier , Espínola Rosa
Published: August 2020

In this work we introduce the notion of the weighted graph associated with a fuzzy measure. Having a finite set of elements between which there exists an affinity fuzzy relation, we propose the definition of a group based on that affinity fuzzy relation between the individuals. Then, we propose an algorithm based on the Louvain’s method to deal with community detection problems with additional information independent of the graph. We also provide a particular method to solve community detection problems over extended fuzzy graphs. Finally, we test the performance of our proposal by means of some detailed computational tests calculated in several benchmark models.
Interval valued Pythagorean fuzzy aggregation operators based Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award assessment
Authors: Haktanır Elif
Published: August 2020

Malcolm Baldrige National Quality Award (MBNQA) is a quality assessment and rewarding system that aims to increase the awareness of quality management. Although the award is launched in the USA in 1989 and only given to the U.S based companies, it is recognized internationally. There are 7 types of categories in the award system (Leadership, Strategic planning, Customer focus, Measurement, analysis, and knowledge management, Workforce focus, Process management, and Results) where the evaluation is made over 1000 points and each category has its own weight. Since almost all the publications in the literature are based on crisp measurements and evaluations of the system performances, we proposed a multi attribute decision making (MADM) method using interval valued Pythagorean fuzzy weighted averaging (IVPFWA) and interval valued Pythagorean fuzzy weighted geometric (IVPFWG) aggregation operators for MBNQA assessment to represent the decision makers’ subjective evaluations better. A comparison of the results with Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) method and an illustrative example are presented in the study.
Group decision making method for residents to choose livable cities depicted by n-intuitionistic polygonal fuzzy sets1
Authors: Wang Guijun , Zhou Jie
Published: August 2020

The polygonal fuzzy set is an effective tool to express a class of fuzzy information with the help of finite ordered real numbers. It can not only guarantee the closeness of arithmetic operation of the polygonal fuzzy sets, but also has good linearity and intuitiveness. Firstly, the concept of the n-intuitionistic polygonal fuzzy set (n-IPFS) is proposed based on the intuitionistic fuzzy set and the polygonal fuzzy set. The ordered representation and arithmetic operation of n-IPFS are given by an example. Secondly, a new aggregation method for multi attribute fuzzy information is given based on the n-IPFS operations and the weighted arithmetic average operator, and the ranking criteria of n-IPFS are obtained by using the score function and the accuracy function. Finally, a new group decision making method is proposed for urban residents to choose the livable city problem based on the decision matrix of the n-IPFS, and the effectiveness of the proposed method is explained by an actual example.

Pre-Movement Cortico-Muscular Dynamics Underlying Improved Parkinson Gait Initiation after Instructed Arm Swing
Authors: Weersink Joyce B. , Gefferie Silvano R. , van Laar Teus , Maurits Natasha M. , de Jong Bauke M.
Published: August 2020

Background: The supplementary motor area (SMA) is implicated in both motor initiation and stereotypic multi-limb movements such as walking with arm swing. Gait in Parkinson’s disease exhibits starting difficulties and reduced arm swing, consistent with reduced SMA activity. Objective: We tested whether enhanced arm swing could improve Parkinson gait initiation and assessed whether increased SMA activity during preparation might facilitate such improvement. Methods: Effects of instructed arm swing on cortical activity, muscle activity and kinematics were assessed by ambulant EEG, EMG, accelerometers and video in 17 Parkinson patients and 19 controls. At baseline, all participants repeatedly started walking after a simple auditory cue. Next, patients started walking at this cue, which now meant starting with enhanced arm swing. EEG changes over the putative SMA and leg motor cortex were assessed by event related spectral perturbation (ERSP) analysis of recordings at Fz and Cz. Results: Over the putative SMA location (Fz), natural PD gait initiation showed enhanced alpha/theta synchronization around the auditory cue, and reduced alpha/beta desynchronization during gait preparation and movement onset, compared to controls. Leg muscle activity in patients was reduced during preparation and movement onset, while the latter was delayed compared to controls. When starting with enhanced arm swing, these group differences virtually disappeared. Conclusion: Instructed arm swing improves Parkinson gait initiation. ERSP normalization around the cue indicates that the attributed information may serve as a semi-internal cue, recruiting an internalized motor program to overcome initiation difficulties.

DAMPAK PENERAPAN KURIKULUM KEMENTERIAN AGAMA DAN KURIKULUM PESANTREN TERHADAP PENINGKATAN HASIL BELAJAR PAI DI MAN YOGYAKARTA
Authors: Nawali Ainna Khoiron
Published: August 2020

Latar belakang penelitian ini adalah berawal dari semakin banyaknya Madrasah maupun Sekolah umum yang menerapkan kurikulum pesantren sebagai kurikulum penunjang kurikulum di sekolah / madrasah khususnya pada mata pelajaran Pendidikan Agama Islam (PAI). Hal tersebut yang membuat beberapa lembaga pendidikan mendirikan Pondok, Asrama, atau Boarding School, guna mendorong program sekolah tersebut. Begitupun juga yang terjadi di MAN Yogyakarta I, disanapun juga mendirikan pondok pesantren “Al Hakim” untuk menambah cakrawala santri terhadap referensi keilmuan islam.  Yang menjadi permasalahan, bagaiman dampak yang ditimbulkan dengan penerapan kurikulum kemenag dan kurikulum pesantren terhadap peningkatan hasil belajar PAI. Tujuan dari dilakukannya penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui bagaimana dampak penerapan dua kurikulum (Kurikulum Kemenag dan Kurikulum Pesantren) terhadap peningkatan hasil belajar PAI di MAN Yogyakarta I dan juga untuk mengetahui kelebihan dan kekurangan dalam dua penerapan kurikulum tersebut. Penelitian ini menggunakan jenis penelitian kualitatif. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa : (1) Dalam penerapannya, Kurikulum pesantren hanya sebagai materi pendukung, artinya kurikulum kemenag masih menjadi prioritas utama dibanding kurikulum Pesantren. (2) Dampak dan pencapaiannya dalam penerapan dua kurikulum tersebut mempunyai dampak positif terhadap hasil belajar PAI pada siswa, seperti nilai siswa ponpes lebih bagus dari pada nilai siswa non ponpes dari segi ranah kognitif, afektif dan psikomotorik (3) Kelebihannya dua kurikulum diterapkan secara baik, akan membuat siswa semakin banyak menguasai materi pelajaran agama, sehingga akan mendongkrak nilai ujian. Namun kekurangannya terjadi ketidak sesuaian antara materi kurikulum kemenag dan kurikulum pesantren, karena materi yang tidak disampaikan secara berurutan dan juga alokasi waktu yang sangat sedikit

Published: August 2020

As parasitoses intestinais são consideradas um problema de saúde pública principalmente nas regiões em desenvolvimento, nas crianças, podem desencadear consequências diversas como retardo físico, mental e social. Assim, este estudo investigou a prevalência e os aspectos epidemiológicos das enteroparasitoses e sua relação com anemia e estado nutricional entre crianças na faixa etária de 01 a 10 anos de um bairro carente de Imperatriz/MA/Brasil no ano de 2011. Foram analisados resultados de exame parasitológico das fezes, dosagem de hemoglobina e ferro sérico, além das medidas antropométricas. Foi encontrada uma prevalência de 60% para as enteroparasitoses, representadas por Ascaris lumbricoides (20%); Giardia lamblia (14%) e Endolimax nana (14%). Quanto ao gênero e faixa etária não foram identificadas diferenças significativas na prevalência das parasitoses intestinais. Foi observada uma associação entre enteroparasitoses e anemia, seja por deficiência de ferro sérico, hemoglobina ou por ambos estes estimadores, sendo que 80% (16/20) das crianças com anemia apresentavam parasitoses intestinais com predomínio de A. lumbricoides. A avaliação nutricional demonstrou que 50,98% das crianças estavam com estado nutricional adequados (eutróficos) e 34,31% apresentaram alterações com baixo peso e risco nutricional e 57,14% destas estavam parasitados. Nos aspectos socioambientais, foi registrada a ausência de políticas públicas que corroboram para as altas prevalências das parasitoses. Assim, pode-se verificar que medidas preventivas são essenciais para o controle das parasitoses, pois além dos prejuízos a saúde, refletem as condições de vida a que a comunidade está exposta, como saneamento básico deficiente e má qualidade de vida, especialmente para as crianças.
Surrounded by Spirits: Hauntings of Identity in Waimea Summer by John Dominis Holt
Authors: Casey Alexander
Published: August 2020

In 1976, John Dominis Holt published what would be considered the first novel by a Kanaka Maoli [Native Hawaiian] author in English, Waimea Summer. This coming-of-age narrative set in 1930’s Hawai‘i follows fourteen-year-old Mark Hull, a half White, half Kanaka Maoli boy who experiences a series of hauntings on his uncle’s farm, all the while grappling with a burgeoning queer identity and conflicted cultural loyalties. In the post American-occupied Hawai‘i, the teachings of Christian missionaries and anti-sodomy laws have all but eradicated the aikāne [homosexual] relationships practiced by the ali‘i [royals] of Marks’ genealogy, and yet the boy’s queer desires refuse to die. In this paper, the novel is interpreted through Laura Westengard’s theory of the queer Gothic, in which concepts of the American nuclear heterosexual family are challenged by the burgeoning past, thus returning the narrative and agency to the queer Indigenous subject.

Authors: Zaenudinsyah Fandi
Published: August 2020

Central government expenditures as the largest component of state expenditures have an important role in determining national output and affecting allocation and efficiency of economic resources. The increase of state expenditures, both for central government expenditures and transfer to local governments, are ideally followed by responsive budget absorption pattern. The high remaining budget at the end of the year indicates that the budget implementation is not optimal, which could lead to economic losses. This low budget absorption pattern has also occurred at the spending units at the State Treasury Service Office (KPPN) Jakarta V. This study aims to determine the factors that cause a low budget absorption pattern of the state budget (APBN) at the end of the fiscal year at KPPN Jakarta V. This study used method of data analysis in the form of factor analysis. The results show that the low budget absorption pattern of the state funds at the end of the fiscal year is caused by eight factors, namely treasury administration, procurement implementation, budget planning, technical support requirements, procurement schedule, human resources, competencies, and job rotation. This study uses method of data analysis in the form of factor analysis. The results showed that the buildup of disbursement of state funds by the end of the fiscal year at the working units within KPPN Jakarta V caused by the eight factors, namely the treasury administration, procurement implementation, planning, supporting technical requirement, procurement scheduling, human resources, competencies, and mutation of officers in charge.

Abstrak

Belanja pemerintah pusat sebagai komponen terbesar belanja negara memiliki peran penting dalam menentukan output nasional dan mempengaruhi alokasi dan efisiensi sumber daya ekonomi. Peningkatan belanja negara, baik belanja pemerintah pusat maupun transfer ke daerah, idealnya diikuti dengan pola penyerapan yang responsive. Penyerapan anggaran yang masih menumpuk pada akhir tahun mengindikasikan bahwa pelaksanaan anggaran belum optimal, bahkan dapat menyebabkan kerugian negara secara ekonomis. Penumpukan pencairan dana tersebut juga terjadi pada Satuan Kerja lingkup Kantor Pelayanan Perbendaharaan Negara (KPPN) Jakarta V. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui faktor-faktor penyebab penumpukan pencairan dana APBN pada akhir tahun anggaran. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode analisis data berupa analisis faktor. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa penumpukan pencairan dana APBN pada akhir tahun anggaran pada Satuan Kerja lingkup KPPN Jakarta V disebabkan oleh delapan faktor, yaitu administrasi perbendaharaan, pelaksanaan pengadaan, perencanaan anggaran, persyaratan teknis pendukung, jadwal pengadaan, sumber daya manusia, kompetensi, dan  mutasi pejabat.

Government Regulation Number 71 Year 2010 on Governmental Accounting Standards mandates that the accrual standard on governmental accounting is implemented no later than four years after 2010 which is 2015. Until 2017 several studies on local government showed that the quality of application accrual based accounting is still low. This study aims to analyze the quality of accrual-based accounting practices at central government based on accrual-based SAP by assessing the accrual rate of each entity. This study uses a qualitative method. The data collection was done by interview, observation and documentation. Aspects studied are activities of converting assets to expense, accruing unpaid expenses, accruing unpaid assets, accruing uncollected revenue and the conversion of liabilities to revenues. The results of quality analysis of the implementation of accrual accounting in the three central government work units shows that accrual rate varies. The highest ranking achieved by the Head Office of the Directorate General of Treasury with accrual rate of 56 percent, ranked second is Tax Office Pratama Sleman that obtained by the accrual rate of 58,89 percent, and Main Secretariat of the Central Bureau of Statistics earned third with accrual rate of 40 percent. Peraturan Pemerintah Nomor 71 Tahun 2010 tentang Standar Akuntansi Pemerintahan mengamanatkan bahwa peneraparan Standar Akuntansi Pemerintahan berbasis akrual dilaksanakan paling lambat empat tahun setelah tahun 2010 yaitu tahun 2015. Sampai tahun 2017 beberapa penelitian terhadap pemerintah daerah menunjukan bahwa kualitas penerapan akuntansi berbasis akrual masih rendah. Sampai saat ini belum terdapat penelitian tentang kualitas penerapan akuntansi berbasis akrual pada pemerintah pusat. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis kualitas penerapan akuntansi berbasis akrual pada pemerintah pusat berdasarkan SAP berbasis akrual dengan cara menilai tingkat akrual masing-masing entitas. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif. Pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan cara wawancara, observasi, dan dokumentasi. Aspek yang diteliti ialah pengakuan transaksi konversi aset menjadi beban, belanja yang belum dibayar, perolehan aset yang belum dibayar, pendapatan yang belum diterima kasnya, dan koversi kewajiban menjadi pendapatan. Kelima aspek tersebut dinilai berdasarkan ketepatan waktu pencatatan pengakuannya. Hasil analisis kualitas implementasi akuntansi berbasis akrual pada tiga satuan kerja pemerintah pusat menunjukkan tingkat akrual yang bervariasi. Peringkat tertinggi dicapai oleh Kantor Pusat Direktorat jenderal Perbendaharaan dengan tingkat akrual 56 persen, peringkat kedua diperoleh Kantor Pelayanan Pajak Pratama Sleman dengan tingkat akrual sebesar 48,89 persen, dan peringkat ketiga diperoleh Sekretariat Utama Badan Pusat Statistik dengan tingkat akrual sebesar 40 persen.

Reformulasi dana alokasi umum, menghitung kebutuhan fiskal daerah berbasis unit cost
Authors: Kurnia Kurnia
Published: August 2020

Saat ini Pemerintah sedang menginisiasi untuk melakukan revisi terhadap UU Perimbangan Keuangan. Salah satu muatan materi revisi UU Perimbangan Keuangan tersebut adalah perubahan formulasi perhitungan DAU yang sangat fundamental. Perubahan tersebut yakni mengubah variabel kebutuhan fiskal yang sebelumnya menggunakan proxy jumlah penduduk, produk domestik regional bruto per kapita, luas wilayah, dan indeks pembangunan manusia untuk mengukur kebutuhan fiskal dalam penyediaan pelayanan publik di daerah, diubah menjadi  variabel kebutuhan layanan dasar seperti infrastruktur, kesehatan, pendidikan, layanan umum, administrasi pemerintahan dengan menggunakan perhitungan unit cost dan target layanan per kapita sebagai penentu jumlah kebutuhan fiskalnya. Kajian ini akan mengeksplorasi hal yang perlu dipersiapkan, serta kelebihan dan kekurangan dalam penerapan perhitungan kebutuhan fiskal berbasis unit cost melalui kajian desk study. Kajian menemukan fakta, bahwa pendekatan perhitungan berbasis unit cost memerlukan informasi yang sangat detil atas layanan dasar yang akan disediakan, identifikasi seluruh aktivitas dan biaya yang dapat memenuhi indikator capaian layanan standar. Namun demikian, terbatasnya resource envelope yang tersedia dapat menjadi kendala dalam pemenuhan indikator capaian layanan dasar tersebut.

Published: August 2020

Kerangka Pengeluaran Jangka Menengah (KPJM) telah dilaksanakan lebih dari dua dekade di berbagai negara sejak tren dimaksud mengemuka dalam reformasi manajemen publik 1990-an. Penilaian dan penelitian terkait kebijakan dan implementasi KPJM juga telah banyak dilakukan. Dengan menggunakan literatur atau kepustakaan seperti  buku dan jurnal ilmiah terkait KPJM periode 2000 s.d. 2018, tulisan ini bertujuan untuk melakukan reviu atas status terkini literatur mengenai KPJM, menginvestigasi kesenjangan dalam literatur dan menganalisis agenda riset di masa yang akan datang. Penelitian ini berargumen bahwa  literatur KPJM memberikan perhatian terhadap desain dan tata kelola KPJM, namun isu analisis biaya yang diperlukan dalam KJPM belum banyak terelaborasi an. Walaupun KPJM telah diimplementasikan di berbagai negara, literatur KPJM di Asia Tenggara khususnya Indonesia masih terbatas. Disamping itu, literatur atas penilaian KPJM di berbagai negara banyak menggunakan metodologi penelitian kualitatif, dengan penelitian kuantitatif yang terbatas. Selanjutnya, penulis berargumen dan menawarkan suatu agenda riset di masa yang akan datang antara lain desain KPJM, fokus penelitian pada negara-negara Asia, dan penggunaan metodologi penelitian kuantitatif atau penelitian gabungan dalam kajian KPJM.

This study aims to identify whether Indonesian fiscal condition in 1977–2017 is sustainable as measured by the government responses to debt burden. Studi on fiscal sustainability is very important since failing to identify its occurrence and determinants will detrimental to fiscal and macroeconomic policy. This study uses Auto-Regressive Distributed Lag – Error Correction Mechanism (ARDL-ECM) to estimate short-term and long-term fiscal reaction functions. The result shows that in the long-term the government responds an increase in debt burden by increasing its primary balance and thus it confirms the existence of fiscal sustainability. Furthermore, by estimating fiscal reaction function this study finds that in the long run exchange rate and Asian Financial Crisis in 1998 have significant effects on primary balance; while in the short run real exchange rates, 1998 economic crisis, and commodity prices  affect the primary balance.
Ethics in Crimes and Misdemeanors
Authors: Haraldsson Róbert
Published: August 2020

In this paper I employ Goodenough´s distinction between films that illustrate, are about and do philosophy to answer the question how we can identify the ethical content of movies. Crimes and Misdemeanors by Woody Allen is taken as an example but Mary L. Litch has argued that this movie illustrates ethical problems and is about ethics. On Litch´s reading the film reveals inherent flaws in utilitarianism and illustrates a Kantian insight as well as other ethical and religious theses. I argue, however, that Litch has relied on a too narrow method when identifying the ethics of Crimes and Misdemeanors. She focuses almost exclusively on dialogue and the general storyline. If we broaden our method to include sensitivity to filming, editing, camera angulation etc., we will not only realize a rather different ethical content in Crimes and Misdemeanors but also see how the movie stirkes close to home for most viewers of Hollywood movies.
