Evaluating the Impact of Inflation and Exchange Rates on the Net Active Value (NAV) of Conventional Mutual Funds in Indonesia
Authors: Ningrum Liza Hertias , Marwa Taufiq , Asngari Imam , Andaiyani Sri
Published: May 2024

The growing development in the financial industry and the current high inflation rate are a great worry for investment prospects, especially mutual funds. Conventional mutual funds in Indonesia have experienced significant growth in the capital market. In the last 10 years, the number of domestic mutual funds has continued to increase. One measure of investment performance in mutual funds is proxied by the Net Asset Value (NAV) of mutual funds. Therefore, the objective of this study is to evaluate the influence of macroeconomics variables on the NAV of conventional mutual funds in Indonesia. In this study, using commercial bank data in Indonesia, we estimate an empirical model of the effect of inflation and exchange rates on the NAV of conventional mutual funds in Indonesia during the period 2012–2022. We employ a time series model using the Ordinary Least Square (OLS). The main findings show that while inflation has no effect on the NAV of conventional mutual funds, the exchange rate has a significant effect on it because there are many instruments in conventional mutual funds that have invested abroad due to changes in exchange rates that appear with dominant results that do not affect the growth of the NAV of conventional mutual funds.

Technological developments in Indonesia continue to increase. This is followed by an increase in the level of insurance literacy. Digital-based insurance or InsurTech is the use of insurance products offered online. It is expected that the development of MSMEs in Magelang City will have the convenience of buying insurance products as an asset safeguarding investment in the event of an unexpected accident. The purpose of this study is to identify the potential of the MSMEs sector, identify related legal InsurTech services that can be accessed by MSMEs, and provide an important overview of InsurTech for safeguarding assets as a supporter of MSMEs sustainability in Magelang City. The study was carried out descriptively and supported by secondary data in the form of the number of MSMEs, MSMEs workers, and turnover. Data analysis was done using the Location Quotient method. The findings of the study show that the City of Magelang consists of four MSMEs sectors, namely, services, trade, agriculture, and production/non-agriculture. The study is divided into three regions with different base sectors. The northern region of the base sector included services, agriculture, and production/non-agriculture. Services and trade are the basic sectors in the central region, while the southern region has trade and production/non-agricultural base sectors. The results of the InsurTech mapping study show that there are four insurance services registered with the OJK including Qoala, Yuk Takaful, Cermati, and Pasar Polis. MSMEs sustainability can occur after the mapping of potential MSMEs and InsurTech sectors has been identified.

The Contribution of Basic Accounting Qualification in Producing Job-Ready Workforce
Authors: Singh Bhagat Singh Serjit , Arulanandam Benedict Valentine
Published: May 2024

The quality of contemporary accounting graduates has often been touted as failing to meet the requirements of the dynamically changing accountancy profession. In particular, the ability of accountancy programs to produce competent accounting graduates has been highly debated by researchers and academicians over the past decade. This paper aims to expand the extant literature on accounting education by evaluating the degree of the contemporary relevance of the Certified Accounting Technician (CAT) program’s syllabus structure in producing job-ready accounting graduates, as well as analyzing the credibility of the CAT program through the lens of various stakeholders, within the Malaysian context. The relatively static nature of the CAT program’s syllabus structure over the past six years lent itself as the motive for undertaking this study. The data samples of the study comprise CAT students, graduates, lecturers, industry practitioners, and the Malaysian chapter of the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA). Results from the study indicate that CAT students are technically adept but lack practical proficiency, and that there is scope to improve the credibility of the CAT program among Malaysian accounting employers.

Foreign Institutional Ownership and Earnings Management
Authors: Widianingsih Yuni Pristiwati Noer , Setiawan Doddy , Aryani Y. Anni , Gantyowati Evi
Published: May 2024

This study investigates the relationship between foreign institutional ownership (FIO) and earnings management (EM) using 552 firms of non-financial sector companies that publish annual financial reports for 2015–2021. We use ordinary least squares (OLS) for equation estimation. The results show that, overall, FIO has a negative impact on earnings management. Tests were also conducted on the FIO group: banks, insurance, pension fund mutual funds, and securities companies. The test results indicate that each group of institutional investors has a negative effect except for securities companies, which positively impact earnings management. The positive influence of securities firms shows that securities firms are more focused on trading strategies than managerial controls. The findings of this study are expected to contribute to the corporate governance literature and the quality of financial reporting. Institutional ownership as a corporate governance mechanism is expected to control earnings management which can reduce the quality of financial reporting.

Authors: Sharma Prima Novandino , Sulastri ‎ , Widiyanti Marlina , Isnurhadi ‎
Published: May 2024

Corporate sustainability is a business approach to meet company needs and create stakeholders’ value in the long term. This is reflected in the company’s sustainable strategic planning and responsibility that is more inclusive and focuses on environmental, social, and corporate governance. This study aims to analyze whether corporate sustainability has an impact on the company’s financial performance. The sample studied consisted of 13 listed State-owned Enterprises (SOEs) in Indonesia for the period 2017–2021. To measure corporate sustainability, independent variables consist of the three pillars of environment, social, and governance or ESG (environment, social, governance). The environmental pillar consists of three categories, namely resource use, emissions, and innovation. While the social pillar consists of four categories, namely labor, human rights, community, and product responsibility. Finally, the governance pillar consists of management, shareholders, and social responsibility strategy. The company’s financial performance which is the dependent variable was measured using data on return on investment (ROI) and return on equity (ROE). Data analysis technique used is Automatic Linear Modeling using SPSS. The results of the study show a positive significant relationship between product responsibility (on the social pillar) with ROI and ROE. On the other hand, there is a negative significant relationship between management (on the governance pillar) to ROI and ROE. While other variables show no significant relationship to both ROI and ROE. The practical impact of this research will help academics, business entities, corporations, policymakers, regulatory authorities, and governments to better understand the relationship between sustainability and financial performance. It can also help companies to operate more effectively and efficiently in implementing corporate sustainability in state-owned enterprises in developing countries such as Indonesia.

Published: May 2024

This study aimed to evaluate a high intensity interval training (HIIT) program delivered in an inpatient treatment setting serving military personnel. This recreational therapy (RT) program assessed the impact of a single session (60-minute) HIIT program on participant affect and state-anxiety. Using a single-group pretest-posttest design, 58 data sets were collected from participants (N = 20). Results indicated an increase in positive affect (z = -.6.52, p < .001), a decrease in negative affect (z = -2.64, p < .01), and a significant reduction in anxiety, t (57) = 1.99, p = .05 following the intervention. The program also resulted in a significant elevation in heart rate, t (57) = -25.89, p < .001 with most participants reaching moderate to high intensity physical activity levels. On a scale of 1–10, participants rated their likelihood of participating in HIIT post-discharge at 6.28 (SD = 2.43). Additional qualitative data provides valuable insight on the perceived benefits to participants and offers suggestions for future program development and research in this area.
The History of the National Academy of Recreational Therapists: 2011-2021
Authors: McCormick Bryan P. , Austin David R.
Published: May 2024

The profession of recreational therapy first established professional membership organizations in the 1940s and 1950s. The most recent national professional membership organization was developed in 1984, when the American Therapeutic Recreation Association (ATRA) was formed. The National Academy of Recreational Therapists (NART) was established in 2011 as an honor society to recognize the most accomplished practitioners and educators in recreational therapy and to provide a clearinghouse for the exchange of ideas that would ultimately lead to the advancement of the recreational therapy profession. Efforts to establish NART began in 2009 when David Austin and Ray West drafted a conceptualization of the academy and its operations, as well as proposed a set of by-laws. A steering committee was subsequently established to review and approve by-laws for NART and to establish the Founding Fellows of NART. The central purpose of the Academy was the advancement of recreational therapy by recognition, education, research, scholarly activity, advocacy, and the provision of advice to decision makers. Since its inception NART has established and funded a Future Scholars Fund to support outstanding graduate students considering pursuing a terminal degree, as well as the Marcia Carter Scholarly Manuscript Award for the best annual publication in the Therapeutic Recreation Journal. Over its first 10 years, NART made revisions to its bylaws to refine criteria and categories for Fellows, and by 2021 there were 77 elected Fellows. The invited paper summarizes the first 10 years and considers a number of original goals that remain to be realized to support and advance this honor society.

Authors: Meher Aakash , Sujatha H.T. , Korav Santosh , Bisarya Dipti , Adishesha K.
Published: May 2024

Background: Pulses form a crucial protein component of the human diet and among the pulses, greengram is third most important pulse crop in India. Water is a critical input for sustained crop production and is becoming limited day by day. Hence, the need of the hour is to evaluate effective resource conservation practices, such as land configurations and scientific scheduling of irrigation to achieve higher productivity, profitability and resource use efficiency. The aim of the study was to identify most resource efficient and economical land configuration, irrigation regimes for summer greengram under sandy loam soils of northwestern India. Methods: The experiment was conducted during the summer of 2022 on Student’s farm, School of Agriculture, Lovely Professional University, Phagwara, Punjab to investigate the performance of summer greengram as influenced by land configuration and irrigation regimes. The experiment was carried out in a strip plot design consisting of 12 treatment combinations and three replications. The treatment included three land configurations viz, (L1: Flatbed, L2: Ridge and furrow and L3: Broad bed furrow) and four different irrigation regimes [Irrigating at critical growth stages (I1), 0.60 IW/CPE (I2), 0.75 IW/CPE (I3) and 0.90 IW/CPE (I4)]. Result: Among three land configurations tried, L3 recorded significantly higher water productivity, NUE and net return. Similarly, I1 recorded significantly higher water productivity whereas I4 recorded significantly higher NUE and net return. Among the treatment combinations, I1L3 recorded significantly higher water productivity (0.262 kg m-3) whereas I3L3 recorded significantly higher NUE (25.16 kg seed kg nutrient-1) and net income (₹ 72,848 ha-1) as compared to other treatment combinations. Hence, I1L3 and I4L3 can be recommended to farmers for growing summer greengram under sandy loam soil conditions in water scare regions and assured irrigation situation, respectively.

Published: May 2024

Background: Semi-arid regions (SARs) of India are characterized by limited rainfall and often prone to droughts. These regions typically receive moderate to low levels of precipitation, making agriculture and water availability significantly challenging. In India, 55% of population is engaged in agriculture and its allied activities. Despite making a significant contribution to livelihoods, the sector continues to face challenges as soil degradation and resource depletion have reduced crop and livestock outputs. To mitigate the effects of land degradation and conserve rainwater, government has taken significant measures to make natural resource conservation a priority throughout the country. To conserve the natural resources, women are always playing an important role as they are always involved in agricultural activities. Methods: The study was undertaken to investigate the role of women in Soil and Water Conservation (SWC) in 3 SARs of India. The purposive sampling was done as watershed beneficiaries were selected as sample respondents. Result: The results revealed that majority of women (55%) had a medium level of technology adoption. Multiple regression analysis revealed that women’s age, education, farming experience, risk bearing, social participation and cost-effectiveness were influencing the adoption of SWC technologies in watersheds. The correlation analysis reflected that out of sixteen factors, eleven factors namely age, education, farming experience, land holding, risk bearing, social participation, agro advisory and weather advisory, skill development, ease of use and cost effectiveness significantly affected the adoption of SWC technologies.
Indian Freshwater Elasmobranchs: Ongoing Threats along with IUCN Current Status and Conservation of Protecting Hidden Treasures: A Review

Published: May 2024

We always thought that elasmobranchs inhabit marine environments, but this is only partially true. About 5% of known elasmobranch species are the freshwater compared to 40% of teleost species. A systematic checklist is available for Indian freshwater elasmobranches with names and IUCN status. A total of 13 species belonging to 3 orders, 3 families and 10 genera were enlisted from secondary data. Euryhaline and obligate species include sharks as Carcharhinus, Glyphis (Carcharhinidae), Chiloscyllium (Hemiscylliidae), sawfishes or Pristis (Pristidae), stingrays or Himantura (whiprays) and Pastinachus (cowtailed rays) (Dasyatidae). We focus on distribution, feeding habits, threats and conservation. Freshwater excursions are relatively rare in extant elasmobranchs than other groups of fish. The low growth rate is probably due to late age at maturity and low fecundity, long gestation periods, slow growth and productivity (small, infrequent litters), high natural survivorship for all age classes and long life. Despite this, some species of freshwater elasmobranchs can tolerate and even thrive in freshwater.

Introduction: According to data from the Basic Health Research in 2018, the prevalence of overweight and obesity among children in East Java Province was 24.27%. This prevalence is still higher than the national average. Aims: This study aims to analyze the risk factors for overweight in school-age children in Tawangsari Village, Sidoarjo Regency, East Java Province. Methods: This study used a case-control design and involved 132 school-age children at 1 and 3 Tawangsari State Elementary Schools, Sidoarjo Regency. The respondents were divided into two groups, namely case and control. The data were analyzed using multiple logistic regression with a significance level at 0.05. Result: The results of the multivariate analysis suggested that sedentary behavior (p = 0.002; Exp(B) = 8.340), sugar intake (p = 0.000; Exp(B) = 9.125) and vegetable and fruit intake (p = 0.007; Exp(B) = 20.643) were significant variables (p < 0.05). Conclusion: School-age children with low levels of physical activity were found to be 8.34 times more likely to be overweight compared to those with high levels of physical activity. In addition, excessive sugar intake and inadequate consumption of vegetable and fruit were associated with a higher likelihood of being overweight in school-age children. However, dietary diversity is not a risk factor for overweight in school-aged children.

Introduction: Indonesia ranks second in the number of TB cases worldwide, accounting for 10% of the total TB cases. In addition, Indonesia ranks fifth in the number of DM cases worldwide. However, the integration of TB and DM disease management programs to ensure safe and quality care in health facilities is generally insufficient. Aims: This study aims to improve the knowledge of NCD program managers regarding TB-DM and their role in TB control and care. Methods: This study used a quasi-experimental design (non-randomized and non-control group) involving all healthcare workers (HCWs) managing NCD programs in Yogyakarta City. The participants were selected from 18 community health centers, 5 hospitals, the Health Office of Yogyakarta City. Prior to and following the training sessions, the knowledge of the participants was assessed. Results: According to the results of the Kruskal-Wallis test, no significant differences in TB-DM knowledge were observed among participants based on age group, length of employment, occupation, and highest level of education. However, following the training sessions, the participants showed a significant improvement in TB-DM knowledge according to the results of the Wilcoxon signed-rank test p = 0.000, with an effect size (r) of 0.57 (95% CI [0.000, 0.113]). Conclusion: Training for NCD program managers has been shown to improve their knowledge about TB-DM and their potential roles. Therefore, it is crucial to conduct continuous capacity-building programs for HCWs. These programs should be supported by policies, systems, and necessary infrastructures to ensure effective implementation of integrated care for TB and other diseases.

Introduction: The higher workloads experienced by construction workers reflect the higher physical demands of construction work. Prolonged workloads are responsible for up to 60% of chronic fatigue, diseases, and injuries among construction workers. Individuals need to develop their balance to support physical activity in order to improve their quality of life. Abnormalities in the balance of construction workers is associated with an increased risk of falls. Aims: This preliminary study aims to assess the relationship between physical activity and postural stability among Indonesian construction workers. Methods: A total of 118 healthy male construction workers without health problems were recruited for this study. Their physical activity levels were measured using the Baecke questionnaire for work, sports, and leisure time, while their postural balance was assessed using the one-leg standing test. Results: This study found a significant difference between physical activity in sports and during leisure time compared to activity at work (F 2.234 = 149.3, p < 0.0001). In addition, this study found a weak correlation between physical activity at work and postural stability among construction workers (p = 0.006, r = -2,498). Conclusion: These preliminary findings indicated that construction workers had higher levels of physical activity at work. However, no correlation was found with postural stability. Further research is needed to investigate larger sample sizes with similar characteristics.

Introduction: Menopause is generally considered a stressful experience, with 25% of menopausal women reporting that they experience stress. Using appropriate coping strategies can help reduce stress levels and alleviate other problems in menopausal women. Aims: This study aims to analyze the psychometric properties of two questionnaires designed to measure menopausal stress and coping strategies among menopausal women in Sarawak. Methods: The content validity of this study was assessed by calculating the I-CVI, S-CVI average, S-CVI universal agreement, and CVR. The face validity was also assessed for comparisons within subgroups. A cross-sectional study was conducted in Subis District, Sarawak, involving  221 menopausal women. Participants were selected using a purposive sampling technique and data were collected from face-to-face interviews. Psychometric analysis was performed using SPSS version 28.0. Results: A total of 38 questionnaire items were analyzed by experts for relevance, clarity, simplicity, and ambiguity. After the second modification, the I-CVI, S-CVI/Ave, and CVR for all domains and items were acceptable. Therefore, all items were retained. Face validity was also confimed with an average ICC of 0.979 and a 95% confidence interval between 0.96 and 0.99 (F (9,261a) = 47.996, p < 0.05). Meanwhile, reliability test with a Cronbach’s alpha coefficient of greater than 0.70 indicated a good internal consistency. Conclusion: The questionnaires appeared to be a psychometrically sound instrument for measuring menopausal stress and coping strategies in menopausal women.
