A Service Ecosystem Model for Improving Healthcare Service Accessibility in Primary Care: A Micro Level Perspective
Authors: Rachmania Ilma Nurul , Yudoko Gatot , Basri Mursyid Hasan , Akbar Juangga
Published: September 2023

Access to healthcare is one of the fundamental aspects of the health system. Everyone has the basic right to access the best possible health services without any form of discrimination. Accessibility is one of the measures in the context of social sustainability in healthcare, which refers to the capacity of a healthcare system to promote a better quality of life and enhance the overall well-being of a community (Mehra & Sharma, 2021). In a large developing country like Indonesia, the difficulties surrounding healthcare services are significantly intensified. Extensive and widespread healthcare access disparities pose significant challenges. These include inefficiency, limited accessibility, a lack of interoperability among relevant stakeholders, and various other obstacles. Despite recent efforts to enhance healthcare access, substantial factors remain contributing to the inconsistent delivery of services. These encompass fragmented and silos healthcare systems and a lack of integration (Kementerian Kesehatan Indonesia, 2021). Access is a concept that encompasses multiple dimensions. Various aspects of access can be evaluated in relation to the availability of health services, the utilization of health services, or the outcomes derived from health services (Gulliford et al., 2002). However, the conceptualization of access to healthcare services in Indonesia remains unclear, highlighting the challenges in measuring the health service monitoring and evaluation system. Not all aspects are measurable and have suitable measures (Kementerian Kesehatan Republik Indonesia, 2021). To assess access accurately, it is essential to consider a comprehensive set of measures that encompass the characteristics of services, providers, and systems, aligning them with the capabilities of individuals, households, and communities (Levesque et al., 2013).

Public Service Motivation on Job Satisfaction: Individual-Organisation Fit as a Mediation Variable
Authors: Kismno Gugup , Rizki Persada Kurniawan , Ardianto Heni
Published: September 2023

The majority of research on public service motivation (PSM), which shows a favorable link with work satisfaction, is done in advanced nations. PSM research in the public sector in developing countries, particularly Indonesia, is also needed to better understand human resource management in contexts that differ from those in developed countries. PSM has to be evaluated in other socio-cultural contexts, in addition to studies undertaken in the United States, Europe, Australia, South Korea, and China, to acquire an overview of PSM from different perspectives (Perry & Vandenabeele, 2015; Kim et al., 2013). According to the ASEAN Foundation's 2022 investigation, 48 out of 186 respondents, or 48% of Indonesian youth, want to be civil officials. The findings map the intended work interest preferences, with civil servants having the highest job interest. These different pieces of evidence suggest that civil officials are still seen as desirable employment in Indonesia. Multiple studies over the last few decades have found evidence that public sector employees motivated to serve the public have work attitudes that benefit the organization, particularly in terms of job satisfaction, when compared to employees who do not pursue public-serving-oriented motives (Harari et al., 2017; Homberg et al., 2015).

Local Economic Development: Why is it important for tourism development in the former Transkei region?
Authors: Apleni Lwazi , Baur Peter
Published: September 2023

This study focuses on LED (with a specific focus in tourism development) within major tourism hubs of the former Transkei region. These hubs include Coffee Bay, Port's St John's and Mthatha situated in Eastern Cape (EC) Province of SA. The Government of South Africa has declared tourism as one of the six pillars for economic growth in line with the New Growth Path (NGP). Furthermore, Local Economic Development (LED) in South Africa (SA) has galvanised widespread attention from government, non-governmental organisations, scholars, and practitioners. The National government acknowledges that SA's LED is the strategic enabler for national economic and development objectives and in particular of SA's National Development Plan (NDP). In addition, SA's LED is viewed as an important potential catalytic instrument to create the necessary broad partnerships and conditions for economic development that can generate better and higher quality service delivery, decent jobs, participation and empowerment of communities, women, youth, and vulnerable groups. Moreover, the study contends that prioritisation of sustainable tourism development using LED by the former Transkei region has a potential to unlock economic sectors in this province. In this context, local government is considered to be at the forefront of advocating for pro-poor tourism and LED policies. Lastly, the study employs a Participatory Action Research (PAR) in diagnosing some of the bottlenecks EC's tourism hubs are grappling with. In conclusion, the findings of the study underscore that there is a need for a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) framework that would further enable the growth of tourism using LED. This PPP framework could inform policy direction for the entire local government community in EC. Such process will assist in mitigating challenges of triple threat (poverty, inequality, and unemployment) through sustainable tourism and LED.

Herding Behaviour of Syariah Banks Stocks in Indonesia
Authors: Kamaludin  , Usman Berto , Susanti Weni
Published: September 2023

Herding behavior is deemed as anomaly in the capital market. This behavior indicates a group of investors that might not be confidence enough in their investment performance that led them to mimic other investors' strategy of investments. In this regard, herding behavior is then considered as irrational action in which the investors are not able to utilize the available information and further use it to achieve the expected capital gain. The investors are reactive and most likely sensitive to rumors than valid information available to public. As this rumor is widely spread among investors, the related corporate news tends to drive them in making either buying or selling actions without any fundamental considerations. Pervious studies in this theme of study have proven the herding behavior in conventional approach. However, not many studies consider to put religion comprehension. Thus, we position religion comprehension as a mediating factor in investigating the relationship between our main variable of interests. The outcome of empirical study indicates that (i) there is a positive relationship between stock return and herding behavior in syariah banks, (ii) Trading volume and herding behavior at Islamic Banks in Indonesia are positively related; (iii) The level of religion comprehension and herding behavior at Islamic Banks in Indonesia is also positively related. However, even though all the variables studied show a positive relationship, the same relationship pattern does not apply if the intervening variable is included in the form of a mediation model. Thus, it can be inferenced that the level of religion comprehension (haj quota) cannot mediate the relationship among main variable of interests.

The Impact of Financial Resources, Natural Ecological Orientation, and Environmental Innovation Capabilities on Environmental Management Accounting Across Kenyan SMEs
Authors: M.A Salim Khaled , Mohd Amir Amizawati , Maelah Ruhanita , Jalaludin Dayana
Published: September 2023

Nowadays competitiveness in the global manufacturing industry does not rely only on industry location, employment, productivity, and innovation. However, environmental regulations and standards (e.g, European countries (EU) policies and regulations) also have a significant impact on firms' competitive advantage (Dechezleprêtre & Sato, 2017; Agan et al. 2013). This is clearly manifested in exporters' performance from SMEs, especially in developing countries such as Kenya (Massoud et al., 2010), which show instability in the sales of shares in the EU (Osano, 2019). Qian et al., (2015) emphasized the advantages of implementing Environmental Management Accounting (EMA) as desirable environmental information systems export barrier overcome and boosting competitiveness. The determinants influencing Environmental Management Control Systems (EMCS) for superior performance or Sustainable Competitive Advantage (SCA) based on Natural Resource Based View (NRBV) is the subject matter of an ongoing debate (Asiaei et al., 2022). However, there has been increasing attention placed on the impact of Intangible resources (IRs) (Latan et al., 2018), since these resources were regarded as the most likely sources of a company's success because they are difficult to be acquired and replicated (Kamasak, 2017). On the other hand, tangible resources (TRs) (e.g. financial resources) have largely been ignored (Schriber & Löwstedt 2015). Corporations especially SMEs also need to integrate financial resources which are considered intrinsic manifestations of the context in which organizational activities occur (Schriber & Löwstedt 2015). At the same time, Newbert, (2007) confirmed that neither intangible nor tangible resources could have actual value without effective capabilities integration as both resources are considered static in nature.

Authors: Nguyen Le Tue Minh , Pham Thien Huynh , Chi Tran Than , Trang Nguyen Ngan Thanh
Published: September 2023

Let's look into the sustainable entrepreneurial goals of university students in Can Tho, Vietnam, as well as the roles that demographic factors like gender, age, occupation, and marital status played in the process. In addition, the study investigates how factors such as the current school year, school entrepreneurship training, family generation, field of study, and family business might affect a person's sustainable entrepreneurial intentions. The information needed for this research came from the participation of 284 student respondents who were enrolled in a variety of institutions in Can Tho, Vietnam. The study used t-tests and ANOVA to examine relationships between demographic factors (gender, age, occupation, and marriage) and current school year, school entrepreneurship training, family generation, field of study, and family business in relation to sustainable entrepreneurial intentions. Researchers were particularly interested in determining whether or not there was a link between these criteria and the ambition to maintain a viable business venture. According to the findings, the field of study and current school year have a significant bearing on the students' plans to engage in environmentally responsible business. These results contribute to our understanding of the demographic factors that play a role in determining the degree to which students attending institutions in Can Tho, Vietnam, have an interest in launching their own companies. These results may provide information that might be useful to policymakers, educators, and other stakeholders in the process of establishing targeted interventions and support systems to encourage sustainable entrepreneurship among students in the area.

Rural Tourism: A Local Economic Development Strategy
Authors: Ramukumba Takalani
Published: September 2023

Tourism is a popular economic development strategy and rural tourism is seen to be a promising industry for rural development. Local economic development (LED) is defined as a process in which local governments, the private sector, and community-based organizations form partnerships to manage existing resources to create jobs and stimulate local economies. Tourism is widely recognized as a tool for boosting local economies. Rural tourism destinations contribute to community empowerment as well as long-term local economic development, and sustainable rural tourism is seen as a critical component of rural development. This is especially true in rural areas, where the introduction of new sectors has not been sufficient to compensate for the decline in economic prospects for rural residents. Tourism is one of the most popular non-traditional rural development techniques, and it supports enterprises such as recreation, arts, and crafts. Tourism entrepreneurs, particularly local hosts, play an important role in this process since, in addition to their own individual contributions, they create jobs, stimulate other sectors of the local economy, and enhance the appeal of their destination. The development of rural tourism destinations is guided by the potential of villages as a tourism product attribute. The community is not an afterthought; it is an essential component of the destination's tourism offering. This means that the community benefits from and bears the costs of tourism in their area. Tourism products and specific local wisdom are inextricably linked to the community. The research was carried out in Nqileni, a rural tourism-dependent village in the Xhora Administrative Area of South Africa's Eastern Cape Province. To gather the necessary empirical data, the study adopted a qualitative research methodology and used a non-probability purposive sampling technique with a semi-structured interview schedule to solicit the gathering of data. The data was analysed using the NVivo version 11. The findings of the study suggest that tourism is a good strategy to achieve local economic development in rural areas specifically. The results of the study further confirm that tourism has the potential to create employment opportunities for local community members and this results in the reduction of poverty levels in rural areas.

Keywords: rural tourism, local economic development, community empowerment, sustainable rural tourism, and tourism destinations.

Bank Competition and Moderating Role of Diversification on Liquidity Creation in ASEAN- 4
Authors: Bustaman Yosman , Viverita V.
Published: September 2023

Liquidity creation is one of the main roles of banking services. Bank creates liquidity through two channels; firstly, it transforms the relatively liquid liabilities into illiquid assets on its balance sheet. The second channel comes from its off-balance sheet activities by providing loan commitment facilities, bank guarantees, and facilitating the financial derivatives transactions products (Holmstrdm, 2009) (Kashyap et al., 2002). Globalization, rapid changes in technology, and sustainable financial deregulation in the last three decades have brought the banking industry into tight competition (Beck et al., 2013). It leads banks to engage and expand their market by diversifying their product into complex non-traditional banking activities such as trading and derivative market that might increase the volatility of income (Beck et al., 2016). Studies of the impact of bank competition and diversification on liquidity creation are hardly found in the literature, especially for the banking industry in the ASEAN.

Published: September 2023

The development of sustainable consumption habits has been a subject of permanent study from various marketing perspectives. Some academic initiatives have sought ways to keep customers interested in the products developed by companies and, to this end, they have sought to find an axis that drives responsible consumption from the internal and external motivations to which the consumer is subjected through the influence of marketing in his decision-making process. In this process, two fundamental axes are presented that are differentiated by the origin of the stimuli. In the internal aspect, needs are initiated by those triggers that are originated in beliefs, expectations and desires coming from the customer's individuality. On the other hand, when these are originated in the collective or come from an origin that stems from characteristics that respond to requirements emanating from the group, then they can be considered as external triggers.

Keywords: Happiness-Marketing Paradox, Happiness Triggers, Internal Motivation, External Motivation, Customer Behaviour.

Authors: Jeke Leward
Published: September 2023

This study analyses the impact of foreign direct investments on economic performance of African and OECD countries, to elicit explanations for the economic development disparities between home economies of foreign direct investors and their host counterparts. Design/methodology/approach – Employing annual observations spanning from 1980 to 2018 of 43 African countries and 28 OECD countries, this study estimates a panel cointegration model based on dynamic OLS technique. Findings – The analysis found that foreign direct investment exerts strong predictive influence on the direction of economic growth, while controlling for the impact of financial development, human capital development, economic institutions, and physical capital stock. It was found that economic institutions and physical capital stock drive stimulative effect on economic growth across economies in Africa and OECD countries, while financial development and human capital exert influences on one or more of the sampled countries. Originality/value – The originality of this study lies in the application of the panel cointegration model based on dynamic OLS technique to analyse the cross-regional dynamics in the interaction between foreign direct investment and economic growth. Practical implications – Policy makers should ensure the sustenance of a conducive economic and political environment to the attract more foreign investors as increase in foreign investments drive positive trends in national productivity and enhances capital mobilization, job creation and social improvement.

Does Multiple Blockholder Prevent Audit Committee's Power to Restrain Earnings Management? Evidence from Indonesia
Authors: Hidagusti Resti Rachma , Rudyanto Astrid
Published: September 2023

Previous literature argues that the power of audit committee should be bigger than management to control earnings management. However, in the context of Indonesia where concentrated ownership structure is prevalent, multiple blockholders can play significant role in earnings management. If multiple blockholders enjoy the private benefits of control through earnings management, the audit committee's power over management would be useless. The purpose of this study is to analyze the impact of power status of audit committees and multiple blockholders on accrual earnings management. In this research, manufacturing companies were used as samples listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange with a total 4 years ranging from the period of 2018 – 2021. This research used multiple regression with fixed effect driscoll-kraay standard error. The result of this research shows that multiple blockholder has a positive impact on accrual earnings management while power status of audit committee has no impact on accrual and real earnings management. It can be implied that in Indonesia, multiple blockholders play significant role in increasing earnings management and audit committees' power cannot reduce earnings management in the presence of multiple blockholders.

Keywords: Earnings Management; power status of audit committee; multiple blockholder; monitoring; ownership.

Published: September 2023

Breast cancer causes a huge number of women’s deaths every year. The accurate localization of a breast lesion is a crucial stage. The segmentation of breast ultrasound images participates in the improvement of the process of detection of breast anomalies. An automatic approach of segmentation of breast ultrasound images is presented in this paper, the proposed model is a modified u-net called Attention Residual U-net, designed to help radiologists in their clinical examination to determine adequately the limitation of breast tumors. Attention Residual U-net is a combination of existing models (Convolutional Neural Network U-net, the Attention Gate Mechanism and the Residual Neural Network). Public breast ultrasound images dataset of Baheya hospital in Egypt is used in this work. Dice coefficient, Jaccard index and Accuracy are used to evaluate the performance of the proposed model on the test set. Attention residual u-net can significantly give a dice coefficient = 90%, Jaccard index = 76% and Accuracy = 90%. The proposed model is compared with two other breast segmentation methods on the same dataset. The results show that the modified U-net model was able to achieve accurate segmentation of breast lesions in breast ultrasound images.
A STANDALONE DC MICROGRID ENERGY MANAGEMENT STRATEGY USING THE BATTERY STATE OF CHARGE
Authors: Yusubov Elvin , Bekirova Lala
Published: September 2023

This article introduces an enhanced energy management strategy that employs the state of charge (SoC) of batteries in standalone DC microgrids with photovoltaic (PV) modules. Efficient energy management is crucial to ensure uninterrupted power supply to the load units in microgrids. To address the challenges posed by external factors such as temperature fluctuations and variations in solar irradiance, energy storage systems are deployed to compensate for the negative effects of the external factors on the output power of PV modules. The proposed approach takes into account various parameters of the microgrid elements, including the available power from the sources, demand power, and the SoC of batteries, in order to develop an efficient energy control mechanism with load-shedding capability. By considering these parameters, the strategy aims to optimize the utilization of available resources while ensuring a reliable power supply to the connected loads. The SoC of the batteries plays a critical role in determining optimal charging and discharging profiles, enabling effective energy management within the microgrid. To evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed approach, an algorithm is designed and simulations are conducted. The proposed algorithm utilizes a hybrid approach by combining power and SoC-based methods for efficient control. Through analysis of the simulation results, it is found that the presented approach is capable of delivering the intended load power while increasing the life cycle of the batteries with the pre-defined SoC levels.

This study focuses on KSPPS BMT NUS Kc. Cileunyi, a cooperative operating in the field of savings, lending and financing  based on Sharia principles. Currently, the accounting for late payment fines of members of this cooperative is still done manually. To increase the efficiency and accuracy of recording this information, we  designed an overdue fine collection information system based on Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 and Microsoft Access 2007 as the database system. This research method includes interviews, observations, and document reviews. We applied a waterfall  development approach when designing this system. Search results at KSPPS BMT NU Sejahtera Kc. Cileunyi emphasized that the process of recording monies collected from overdue fines still relies on a manual system. Therefore, we designed a new system based on Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 and Microsoft Access 2007 as the database. This system will help managers easily record the late payment fines of cooperative members. In addition, the system is expected to generate more accurate and efficient cash  reports of late payment fines that  can be presented to regulators for further assessment. By implementing this system, it is hoped that KSPPS BMT NUS Kc. Cileunyi can improve his financial management in a more professional manner.

Universal Filtered Multi-Carrier (UFMC) is a multi-carrier modulation scheme that is an alternative to the Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) scheme currently used in 4G communication systems and wireless local area networks (WLAN). The weakness of OFDM lies in the high peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) value and out-of-band (OOB) emission which can cause interference between carriers. UFMC is one of the schemes used to overcome the weaknesses of OFDM. This research aims to study the performance of UFMC for data transmission on AWGN channel with 256-QAM, 1024-QAM, and 4096-QAM modulation. In addition, 256-point, 512-point, and 1024-point FFTs were also used to see the effect on the achievable bit error rate (BER) and PAPR value. The simulation results show that for all simulated FFT sizes and QAM values, 256-QAM produces the lowest BER value. Using a 1024-point FFT, a BER of 10-3 can be achieved with an SNR of 20 dB. The lowest PAPR value obtained in the simulation is 7.1891 dB.
