The Implementation of Green Accounting in Indonesia: A Case Study
Authors: Dunakhir Samirah , Idrus Mukhammad , Afiah Nur
Published: December 2024

This research aims to analyze the application of green accounting at one of the state-owned enterprises in Indonesia. Green accounting is a concept that systematically integrates objects, transactions, or social events (humans) and environmental events (earth) to produce complete and useful accounting information. This presents a challenge for companies that utilize their profits to cover capital and costs but fail to allocate costs for environmental management and corporate social responsibility. We used documentation as the data collection method, with interviews serving as supporting data. The study employed a qualitative descriptive research approach, utilizing the content data analysis method. We can conclude that PT XYZ Indonesia has met some of the accounting standards based on the results of the five steps in implementing green accounting: identification, recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of costs related to environmental management activities. However, certain stages of implementing green accounting, specifically the identification and disclosure of accounting policies, did not adhere to the existing standards. The urgency of this research lies in providing information about the application of green accounting, which can enhance companies' ability to mitigate environmental issues. The findings of this research will contribute to the development of knowledge and insight regarding green accounting. This is in accordance with one of Indonesia's national research priorities or focus areas, which is the green economy.

Authors: Sundari Pipit , Khasanah Aulia Sista Ayu Nur , Nugroho Galih Satrio
Published: December 2024

This study aims to explore the impact of hybrid work systems on the dynamics of social interactions and the evolution of organizational culture in the context of multinational companies. We collected data through in-depth interviews with employees from various divisions and hierarchical levels in a multinational company that has implemented a hybrid work system, using a qualitative approach. The findings reveal that while hybrid work systems offer flexibility and boost productivity, they pose significant challenges due to the reduction in direct social interactions, which can negatively impact the company's sense of community and cultural identity. This study also revealed a tendency for organizational culture to fragment, leading to the formation of distinct subcultures between employees who work remotely and those who work in the office. Digital technology, while facilitating interaction in everyday communication, does not entirely replace the warmth and intimacy of face-to-face interactions. The implications of this study indicate the need for a more holistic strategy in supporting corporate culture in the era of hybrid work, including initiatives to strengthen the sense of community through more innovative and inclusive technology.

This study examines citizenship as a constitutional right in Indonesia, focusing on the foundational principles of citizenship, the roles of state institutions, challenges in the enforcement of rights, and relevant case studies. The research employs a doctrinal legal methodology with a normative approach, incorporating legislative, case law, conceptual, historical, and comparative perspectives. Data is collected from primary, secondary, and tertiary legal sources through a literature review. The analysis reveals that the foundational principles of citizenship are enshrined in the 1945 Constitution of Indonesia (UUD 1945), which includes the right to participate in government, the right to decent work, and other social rights. State institutions such as the President, the People's Consultative Assembly (DPR), and the judiciary play crucial roles in the enforcement of constitutional rights. However, several challenges persist, including human rights violations, injustices within the legal system, and barriers to political participation. Case studies related to administrative issues in the 2024 elections, human rights violations in Papua, and the controversy surrounding the Omnibus Law on Job Creation illustrate practical issues in the implementation of constitutional rights.

Authors: Minnes Refael , Barbora Ayan
Published: December 2024

Photodynamic therapy can be significantly improved by techniques utilizing light windows of higher tissue penetration depths with optimally matched photoactive agents to provide deep interstitial treatment. Classical blue light photosensitizers were photodynamically activated using infrared light via coupled harmonic nanoparticles with optimized intermediary distances using spacers. Upon 800 nm pulsed laser irradiation perovskite nanoparticles with optimized coupling to either curcumin or protoporphyrin IX reduced the viability of MCF7 breast cancer cells by 73 percent and 64 percent, respectively, while exhibiting negligible dark toxicity. The findings pave the way for clinical adaptation of ease-of-synthesis photodynamically active preparations operable under deep tissue penetrating infrared lights using commonly available otherwise infrared inactive classical blue light photosensitizers.
Significant Performance Enhancement of Triplet-Triplet Annihilation Upconversion Systems Based on Strong Light-Matter Interactions
Authors: Kushida Hiromu , Sugawa Prof.Kosuke
Published: December 2024

Triplet-triplet annihilation upconversion (TTA-UC) is a technique that converts low-energy light into higher-energy light and has garnered significant attention for its wide range of potential applications. In TTA-UC, porphyrins are commonly used as sensitizer molecules, but the method faces several limitations. These include a narrow excitation wavelength range, restricted by the molecules’ spectroscopic properties, and a low molar absorption coefficient due to weak interactions with light. This study aims to significantly enhance TTA-UC performance by achieving strong interactions between light and sensitizer molecules through localized surface plasmon (LSP) resonance.

It is well-known that strong light-matter interactions can give rise to upper (UP) and lower (LP) polariton states. By utilizing these states, it is anticipated that the excitation wavelength range can be extended, and excitation efficiency can be improved through these enhanced interactions. To realize this, we employed a plasmonic structure composed of a 2D assembly of metal-polymer thin films and metal nanoparticles, designed to exhibit pronounced LSP resonance. This structure also facilitates macroscopic observation of upconverted emission through strong light-molecule interactions.

Additionally, based on synthetic methods from metal-organic frameworks, we fabricated an aggregate structure of sensitizer molecules (Pd porphyrin derivatives) and integrated them with the plasmonic structure. These composite systems exhibited spectral characteristics indicating strong interactions between light and excitons in the sensitizer molecules, as evidenced by anticrossing behavior. Furthermore, the upconverted emission was found to be significantly amplified, demonstrating the potential of this approach for enhancing TTA-UC performance.

Authors: Al- Anzi Abdul-Salam Housain
Published: December 2024

The topic of "Restricting and Prohibiting Anti-Personnel Mines in International Law" is precise and branched out in detail, and therefore many international conferences and protocols were held until the signing of the Ottawa Treaty in (1997), which strictly prohibits the use of such weapons. Since then, campaigns have been active to support the implementation of the Convention, and two-thirds of the world's states have signed it, but major powers such as the United States of America, Russia and China have not ratified it. Here, several problems arise, including: How can these states be obligated to respect this Convention, especially with the 1994 Geneva Conventions free of any provision or article pertaining to mine victims, and the commitment of the world's armed groups to respect the Ottawa Treaty, are among the main dilemmas that must be resolved expeditiously.

Published: December 2024

Este artigo demonstra o desenvolvimento e a construção de uma única palmilha inteligente para análise da marcha humana, como um dispositivo assistivo de baixo custo. Os dados clínicos estimados por ela podem elucidar disfunções da marcha como: atrasos na duração de alguma fase específica, falta de ritmo ou até desvio no controle postural. Construída com placa microcontrolada Arduino, contém quatro sensores de força e uma unidade inercial - IMU, que fornecem sinais a um classificador de fases estimado por lógica difusa. Os dados tratados são então enviados por Wi-Fi a uma interface gráfica para análise de um profissional habilitado, como por exemplo um fisioterapeuta. Para a programação destes microcontroladores é utilizada a IDE Arduino. Visando o problema de que o algoritmo de rastreamento por supervisão tradicional de reconhecimento de fase da marcha baseado em limiar não consegue distinguir as mudanças sutis entre as fases da marcha, um algoritmo de reconhecimento de fase da marcha baseado em lógica fuzzy é adotado para realizar o reconhecimento suave e contínuo das fases da marcha. As fases são aferidas via MATLAB e depois embarcadas no microcontrolador utilizando a biblioteca dedicada ao controlador Fuzzy eFLL. Para um tratamento adequado na unidade inercial, foi utilizado um filtro de Kalman nos sinais provenientes do acelerômetro e do giroscópio. Para a aplicação clínica é importante a aferição do classificador fuzzy com um número maior de sujeitos. O protótipo obteve os dados da marcha humana, os classificou e foi capaz de identificar suas características, e com isso é possível um profissional habilitado diagnosticar os indivíduos de forma mais precisa, podendo propor exercícios para fisioterapia e desenvolvimento de órteses.
The intersection of data and human behaviour in aviation
Authors: Crutchley Dionne
Published: December 2024

This paper explores the critical intersection of data analytics and human behaviour within the aviation industry, emphasising the need for a balanced approach to enhance operational efficiency and passenger experience. As airports increasingly rely on data-driven decision making, the paper identifies key areas where data can optimise operations while also highlighting the importance of understanding human stressors in dynamic airport environments. Readers can expect to gain insights into how various stressors influence traveller behaviour and decision making. By employing a human-centred design approach and recognising the complexities of passenger experiences, stakeholders can develop strategies that effectively address both operational goals and individual needs. The paper illustrates the significance of context in interpreting data and the necessity of collaboration among diverse teams to create guest-centric solutions. Ultimately, it underscores that integrating human understanding with data analytics is essential for navigating the challenges of modern air travel, ensuring that advancements truly enhance the travel experience rather than complicate it.
Data governance best practices for the AI-ready airport
Authors: Strome Trevor
Published: December 2024

Airports generate vast amounts of data across various systems that are crucial for operational efficiency, safety and enhanced passenger experience. As airports increasingly rely on this data in order to adapt to evolving passenger experience demands, business environments and regulatory requirements, data governance becomes essential for managing, safeguarding and leveraging data effectively. A robust data governance framework provides the structure for ensuring data quality, security and compliance while enabling airports to harness data for artificial intelligence (AI) applications such as predictive maintenance and passenger flow management. By starting with a clear scope, objectives and policies, airports can build a data governance framework that addresses both current needs and future challenges. This paper explores the role of data governance in making airports AI-ready, outlining best practices for implementing a governance programme. It highlights the importance of tools such as data lineage tracking and the need for strong data security measures to comply with regulations such as General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). The paper also emphasises the need for a culture of accountability, outlining key roles such as data stewards and chief data officers (CDOs) to ensure consistent, robust data management. As AI adoption grows, airports must focus on maintaining data integrity, fostering transparency and ensuring regulatory compliance to unlock the full potential of their data assets while safeguarding privacy and building stakeholder trust.

A difusão do movimento feminista contemporâneo, denominada por muitos autores como quarta onda feminista, está relacionada majoritariamente a popularização do acesso à internet e ao fenômeno das redes sociais, responsáveis por profundas transformações no que tange a organização política desses movimentos. Nesse sentido, nota-se que no início dos anos 2000, além do desenvolvimento de novas formas de sociabilidade, as mídias sociais também se apresentaram como um ambiente seguro e eficiente para a atuação ativista na luta da violência contra a mulher. Observou-se inúmeros destes movimentos eclodirem por meio de hashtags, nos quais mulheres de todo o mundo passaram a compartilhar suas dores, anseios e, principalmente, se uniram para requer seus direitos, galgando conquistas significativas. Nesse sentido, essa revisão de literatura sistemática de abordagem quali-quanti, teve por objetivo compreender a influência das hashtags no ciberativismo ou ativismo digital feminista, tendo sido analisadas para tanto, um total de 1.747 dissertações relacionadas direta ou indiretamente ao tema e disponíveis na Biblioteca Digital Brasileira de Teses e Dissertações (BDTD). A pesquisa buscou mapear estudos voltados para a compreensão do poder de influência mobilizado pelas hashtags nas mídias sociais, obtendo como resultado a confirmação do poder de ação das hashtags no ativismo feminista dos últimos anos, servindo como base de dados para a formulação de campanhas futuras, que visam o enfrentamento da violência contra a mulher
The Effects of Exchange Rate, Interest Rate and Money Supply on Inflation Rate of Lao PDR
Authors:   ST Bank Luangprabang Brand, douangkham sirivongsa douangkham
Published: December 2024

The study examines the impact of exchange rate, interest rate, and money supply on the inflation rate in Lao PDR using time series data from 2000-2023. The analysis used a multiple regression model and found that exchange rate and money supply have a similar effect on inflation rates, with a statistical level of 0.01 and 0.05 respectively. The interest rate was not statistically significant. However, the exchange rate has a greater impact than the money supply. If the exchange rate increases by 1%, it results in an increase in the inflation rate of 22.107%, while a decrease results in a decrease. Conversely, if the money supply increases by 1%, it causes an increase in the inflation rate of 0.262%, and vice versa. This indicates that the exchange rate is the most significant factor affecting the inflation rate in Lao PDR. However, the constant value is negative and the statistical significance level is 0.01, suggesting that other factors may also reduce the inflation rate. Therefore, these factors should be considered for further researchers.
