Audit Committee Characteristics and Carbon Emission Disclosure
Authors: Chariri Anis , Januarti Indira , Yuyetta Etna Nur Afri
Published: December 2018

Business activities have contributed to the increasing level of carbon emissions, which can endanger the environment. Such phenomena have pushed companies to disclose a variety of carbon emission information to show their responsibilities. Thus, this study aims to investigate the influence of audit characteristics (independence, expertise, meetings) on carbon emission disclosure. Data were collected from the Nordic companies, which were registered in the 2015 Carbon Disclosure Project. A total of 105 companies were used as samples for further analysis. A regression model was then employed to analyse the data. The findings showed that all characteristics of audit committees (independent audit committee, audit committee expertise and audit committee meetings) positively affected carbon emission disclosure. This study implies that companies that are interested in disclosing carbon emission information should create more independent members of audit committees whose expertise or experiences are in accounting/finance/risk. The audit committee members should be also actively involved in regular meetings to monitor and evaluate company’s policy on carbon emission disclosure.

Authors: Hadi Sudharto Prawata , Prabawani Bulan , Purnaweni Hartuti
Published: December 2018

One crucial problem faced by Indonesia is the dependence on fossil energy reaching to 93,3%, while the share of renewable energy is only 7,7%. This causes two implications. Firstly, Indonesia is at the situation of insecurity energy due to the limitation of the availability of fossil energy. Since 2004, Indonesia is net importer oil country. Secondly, the use of fossil energy creates CO2, a component of green house gases stimulating global warming and climate change. One strategy to deal with this problem is by implementing new energy system consisting of developing renewable energy and energy efficiency.

This paper observes the impact of the use of fossil energy, the measures taken to deal with these problems and the issues of implementing the measures. This research relies on secondary data available at the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resource, Ministry of Environment and Forestry specifically at by Proper Secretariat, and other relevant sources.

This condition has caused the dilemma among the local people and stakeholders in this region as its positive and negative impact walks side by side. This study described how the knowledge, attitude, and expectation of a large community, especially for those who are not miners. Generally, local people understand that this region is rich for its tin and in fact it’s already given a big contribution foreconomic development. Local people also admit that the benefit on tin mining is only enjoyed by some people. Nevertheless, local community also has an attitude that in-conventional mining has already damaged the environment and they hope it will be prohibited. Local people have expectation that environmental management should be prioritized and strictly limited to the tin mining activity. This study founded that there is a gap perception between Bangka and Belitung People although they are in the same level of agreement related to the expectation to prohibit the tin mining : Belitung people is higher than Bangka people.

Authors: Sudirman Nasir , Helmi Muhammad , Susetyo Adi Novi
Published: December 2018

Coastal ecosystems provide various ecosystem services in the form of natural resources, life support services, aesthetical values and comfort.The key ecosystems providing those services include estuaries, mangroves, coral reefs and seagrass beds.Some ecosystem services provided by the key coastal ecosystems function as producers, life supporters, wave absorbers, litter provider for detritus and decomposers, and carbon cycles regulator in the ecosystem. Though their roles are vital for Jakarta bay and its surrounding areas, ecosystem service aspect in Jakarta Bay is understudied. The previous limited studies focused mostly on economics valuation aspect and descriptive studies, ignoring the modeling and mapping aspects of the ecosystem services. InVEST (Integrated Valuation of Ecosystem Services and Tradeoffs) is a tool to map and model ecosystem services in an explicitly spatial representation.InVEST can be used to map and model changes in ecosystem servicess that will be affected by multi-scalechanges in the Jakarta Bay, particularlyland reclamation and what's so called as the Giant Sea Wall.The output generated through the spatial and temporal mapmodeling in inVESTcan account for ecosystem services in past, presentand future scenarios. In the context of various coastal development in Jakarta bay, the results of InVEST can be then be used asvaluableinput tocoastal management of Jakarta Bay, e.g. for mangrove management as a blue carbon ecosystem service provider.

Authors: Syafrudin Syafrudin , Budi Prasetyo Samadikun , Irawan Wisnu Wardana
Published: December 2018

Organic solid waste will undergo a decomposition process and produces some gases compounds such as a large enough of Methane (CH4), Carbon Dioxide (CO2) with Oxygen (O2) and N2. The high heating value of CH4 in biogas can make biogas as a good source of renewable energy and environmentally friendly. Biogas calorie efficiency is proportional to the concentration of CH4 in biogas. However, the quantity and quality of biogas that produced in landfill depend on the characteristic and density of domestic solid waste in landfill. The composition of organic and inorganic waste and the density of waste pile will alter the CH4 content. This study focuses on measuring CH4 content of the solid waste with different density while also identifying the composition of disposed solid waste. The result indicates that the CH4 content ranges from 33% to 57.7% with 22.19% to 42.24% of CO2 and approximately 1.21% - 7.92% of O2. The presence of inorganic waste and density level of waste contribute to the decomposition rate and CH4 content.

Authors: Ninik Puji Astuti , Maryono Maryono
Published: December 2018

This paper discusses about the condition of air quality in Indonesia and the opportunity to control air pollution using vehicle emissions tax. It is described descriptively based on literature, legal regulations, and prior researches. Transportation grow rapidly due to population growth. It is because transportation is very important for mobility and supports economic. Motor vehicles as a mean of transportation are known to cause air pollution due to their emissions. Pollutants in emissions are risk factors for several diseases, including acute respiratory infections, bronchitis, and pneumonia. Air quality in Indonesia, namely “indeks kualitas udara (IKU)” is still in good condition. However, there are provinces that have “moderate” IKU value and even “very less”. A variety of ways are being done to control air pollution from the transportation sector. Unfortunately, in Indonesia still has not touched the economic side. Environmental economic instruments need to be developed to address this. Basically, the regulations has provided the opportunity for the implementation, such as Law Number 32 Year 2009, Law Number 28 Year 2009, and Government Regulation Number 46 Year 2017. Therefore, the study of vehicle emission tax that internalizes economic losses due to air pollution for public health needs to be done. This kind of study is expected to be an input for policymakers on air pollution control.

Modernization of the Tax Administration System: A Theoretical Review of Improving Tax Capacity
Authors: Taufik Kurniawan
Published: December 2018

The canons of transaction theory requires taxation to rest on the principles of justice, certainty, comfort, and economics. However, as the government continues to demand for development finance and increasingly depend on tax revenues, the aforementioned principles have been neglected in taxation as can be empirically observed in the complaints, tax avoidance efforts, and tax revenue in Indonesia. The lower tax revenues of Indonesia compared with those of other countries indicate that the tax reforms implemented in the country from 1984 to date have produced sub-optimal results and require realignment. The reformation or modernization of a tax administration system aims to improve the effort or performance of tax collecting authorities. Such reformation may be conducted individually or by group to achieve more efficient, economical, and rapid outcomes. The modernization process focuses on organizational structure, procedure, strategy, and culture. In order for such modernization process to succeed, the tax structure must be simplified, appropriate reform strategies must be developed, and a strong political commitment to reforming the tax administration system must be ensured.

Authors: Candria Mytha
Published: December 2018

The paper is a semiotic study of Abidah El-Khalieqy’s novel Geni Jora. Semiotics is definedwith reference to the study of signs and sign systems, and “signs” concern any things that stand for other things. The semiotic analysis used in this paper was adopted from Chandler’s framework where he combines the Saussurean and Peircean concepts of signs and modes of relationship. The result of the semiotic reading of Geni Jora is that Jora, the main character of the novel, is a symbol, representingAbidah’s resistance to gender injustice within Muslim circle in particular and in Indonesia in general. The novel symbolizes Abidah’s concern about Indonesian (Muslim) women, who suffer from discrimination, injustice, abuse, and violence due to the stronghold of patriarchy. It also signifies her insistence, urging the people of Indonesia to seriously take actions to bring about gender equality and to provide women’s quality education, without which Indonesia would not be able to make sustainable community and development happen.

Published: December 2018

Regression method is a statistical method for modelling dependent variable with independent variable. Nonparametric regression is an approach to regression analysis that is suitable for data that have an unknown curve shape. Modelling by using nonparametric regression method does not require any assumptions. Spline and Fourier methods are some of the estimators in nonparametric regression. The spline method requires optimal knots to obtain the best model. The most commonly used method to determine the optimal knots is Generalized Cross Validation (GCV). The Fourier method is a method based on the cosine and sinus series. The Fourier method is particularly suitable for data that experience repetitive patterns. This study modeled the Inflation rate in Indonesia from January 2007 to August 2017. The dependent variable is inflation rate, while the independent variable is time. From the result, linear spline regression estimation with three knots that generates R square of 60%. The best Fourier model is Fourier with K = 100 that generates R square of 80.12%. The best Spline model is with 9 knots generates R square of 87.65%, so, for inflation modelling in Indonesia, the spline regression model generates a simpler model with better R-square than Fourier regression.

Authors: Fauziah Siska Febrina , Suryono Suryono , Widyawati Melyana Nurul
Published: December 2018

Most of maternal mortality is directly caused by obstetric hemorrhage and almost three-quarters of it take place in postpartum period. The risk of maternal death due to hemorrhage can be reduced with prompt and proper care that in turn relates to the blood loss measurement method used. Unfortunately, the most commonly practiced method is not yet accurate enough. This research proposes a postpartum blood loss measurement method using digital image processing. Initially, characterization is carried out to find out blood absorbance against digital image area and blood volume in the underpad. Results of this characterization then serve as the basis for blood loss measurement using digital image processing. This measurement basis is validated by measuring blood volume lost during delivery care. Results show that the area and volume of blood absorbed in the underpad has significant linear relation (R = 0.9734). Digital image processing can be used to measure postpartum blood loss with a high accuracy up to 83.7%. The use of this method is therefore an accurate and objective alternative to the other available method. Nonetheless, the use of this new method must also adhere to standard guidelines in delivery care as to ensure the utmost outcomes.

Therefore, it is important to comprehend local values that are related to education in order to established social harmony in the minority ethnic group. The purpose of this study is to describe the Sikep community’s construction of meaning on local and formal education discourses. The main theories in this research are the Speech Codes Theory and Ethnography Communication Theory. An ethnography communication research method was used in achieving the goal of this research. The research finding indicates that the low participation to formal education is due to the fact that Sikep community has a specific interpretation of the educational process that differs to the formal standard of national education. They perceive education as a part of everyday life. They focus on the educational processes that equip them the skills to survive, particularly in the context of agricultural skills. The knowledge of local philosophical values must also be considered in creating an applicable educational system for Sikep community.
Der minderjährige Patient beim Heilpraktiker

Für den Behandelnden ist eine umfassende Aufklärung des Patienten unerlässlich, um eine rechtswirksame Einwilligung zu erhalten. Ist der Patient minderjährig, unterscheidet man als Behandelnder unabhängig von der Geschäftsfähigkeit, ob er einwilligungsfähig ist. Ein einwilligungsfähiger minderjähriger Patient kann eine Behandlung rechtswirksam ablehnen, für eine Behandlung bleibt die elterliche Zustimmung aber notwendig.

Gastroösophageale Refluxkrankheit: Fokus auf zahnmedizinischen Aspekten
Authors: Koop Herbert , Labenz Joachim
Published: December 2018

In der Leitlinie zur gastroösophagealen Refluxkrankheit sind die Prinzipien von Diagnostik und Therapie aufgrund bestehender Evidenz definiert. Grundlage der Diagnostik ist eine ausführliche Anamnese, ergänzt durch eine Gastroskopie, während funktionsdiagnostische Untersuchungen mittels pH-Metrie oder (besser) Impedanz-pH-Metrie bestimmten Konstellationen (insbesondere Therapieversagern) vorbehalten sind. In der Therapie dominiert für alle Schweregrade eine Säuresekretionshemmung mittels Protonenpumpeninhibitoren (PPI), wenngleich heute auch ein (ggf. zusätzlicher) Einsatz von Alginaten diskutiert wird. Chirurgische Eingriffe sind nach sorgfältiger Patientenselektion eine Option, während andere Verfahren (Linx, elektrische Stimulation des unteren Ösophagus-Sphinkters, endoskopische Verfahren) insbesondere hinsichtlich der langfristigen Effektivität noch weiterer Studien bedürfen. Die pathophysiologischen Vorstellungen zu extraösophagealen Manifestationen der Refluxkrankheit machen derzeit gravierende Revisionen durch. Auch wenn dentale Erosionen als gesicherte Assoziation einer Refluxkrankheit gelten, ist die wissenschaftliche Basis dafür dürftig. Ein Barrett-Ösophagus bedarf aufgrund des Risikos einer malignen Transformation bei geeigneten Patienten eines strukturierten Überwachungsprogramms.
Update zahnärztliche Funktionsanalyse – Aktuelle Verfahren, Instrumente und digitale Befundauswertung
Authors: Ahlers M.
Published: December 2018

Funktionsdiagnostik basiert heute auf verschiedenen einander ergänzenden Untersuchungsmethoden. Nach dem Einsatz technischer Untersuchungsmittel werden diese daher in instrumentelle und nichtinstrumentelle Verfahren unterteilt.

Zu den nichtinstrumentellen Verfahren zählen die klinische Funktionsanalyse, die manuelle Strukturanalyse und ergänzende Methoden, wie die Tests auf psychische Co-Faktoren und Tests aus orthopädische Co-Faktoren.

Die instrumentellen Verfahren hingegen umfassen Techniken zur Aufzeichnung und Auswertung der Kieferposition in Statik (Kondylenpositionsanalyse), zur Auswertung der Bewegungsrichtung (als Grundlage der Artikulatorprogrammierung) sowie zur funktionellen Bewegungsanalyse.

Voraussetzung für aussagekräftige Untersuchungsergebnisse ist die indikationsbezogene Auswahl der verschiedenen Verfahren sowie deren strukturierte Auswertung. Der vorliegende Beitrag beschreibt im Sinne einer Übersicht den aktuellen Stand und legt dabei vor dem Hintergrund der neuen Leitlinie instrumentelle Funktionsanalyse den Fokus auf die Darstellung des aktuellen Standes dieser Untersuchungstechniken.

Nah und fern
Authors: Schilke-Prigge Denise
Published: December 2018

Jeder Zahn ist über Reflexwege und Meridiane mit bestimmten Organen und Geweben verbunden, deshalb können Störfelder im Gebiss fernab des Geschehens Erkrankungen auslösen. Bestimmte Zähne und Zahnfehlstellungen wie Lücken oder Überstände können mit entsprechenden Emotionen und Temperamenten in Beziehung stehen. Über ein zwischen mehreren Therapeuten abgestimmtes, ganzheitliches Behandlungsregime lassen sich Zahnstörfelder erfolgreich sanieren und Folgeerkrankungen wirksam behandeln.

The miniaturization of ultrasound equipment in the form of tablet- or smartphone-sized ultrasound equipment is a result of the rapid evolution of technology and handheld ultrasound devices (HHUSD). This position paper of the European Federation of Societies in Ultrasound and Medicine (EFSUMB) assesses the current status of HHUSD in abdominal ultrasound, pediatric ultrasound, targeted echocardiography and heart ultrasound, and we will report position comments on the most common clinical applications. Also included is a SWOT (Strength – Weaknesses – Opportunities – Threats) analysis, the use for handheld devices for medical students, educational & training aspects, documentation, storage and safety considerations.
Psychosomatische Sprechstunde in der Hausarztpraxis – ein neues Kooperationsmodell von Psychosomatik und Allgemeinmedizin
Authors: Hartmann Mechthild , Finkenzeller Caroline , Boehlen Friederike , Wagenlechner Petra , Peters-Klimm Frank , Herzog Wolfgang
Published: December 2018

Eine hohe Zahl an Patienten mit psychischen oder psychosomatischen Erkrankungen erhält derzeit keine adäquate fachärztliche bzw. fachpsychotherapeutische Behandlung, sondern verbleibt diesbezüglich alleinig beim Hausarzt. Ursachen sind häufig lange Wartezeiten auf Psychotherapie, patientenseitige Barrieren oder offene differenzialdiagnostische Fragen. Daher entwickelten wir ein Versorgungskonzept, das direkt in der Hausarztpraxis ansetzt und offen für jegliche psychosomatische Störung ist. Dieses Modell, das im Kern eine vor-Ort Sprechstunde durch einen Facharzt für Psychosomatische Medizin umfasst, wird im Folgenden vorgestellt. Erste Erfahrungen bezüglich Inanspruchnahme und Patientenklientel belegen eine hohe Akzeptanz seitens Patienten, Hausärzten und Fachärzten für Psychosomatische Medizin.
Bipolar Sealers Do not Improve Blood Loss or Functional Outcomes of Primary Total Knee Arthroplasty
Authors: Pasqualotto Stefano , Demey Guillaume , Michelet Aude , Nover Luca , Saffarini Mo , Dejour David
Published: December 2018

Several methods were introduced to limit perioperative blood loss in total knee arthroplasty (TKA). By transcollation of soft tissues below 100°C, bipolar sealers intend to reduce bleeding and tissue damage, compared with conventional electrocautery. Existing studies report contradictory findings about the performance of bipolar sealers. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of a bipolar sealer on blood loss, transfusions, hospital length of stay (LOS), and functional scores in primary TKA. In this single-center prospective study, 101 patients, undergoing primary TKA in a fast-track setting without tourniquet use, were randomly assigned to either (1) the study group which was operated with a bipolar sealer or (2) the control group operated with conventional electrocautery. The study cohort comprised 49 men and 52 women, aged 71.1 ± 8.8 years. There was no significant difference between the bipolar sealer group and the control group in terms of blood loss at day 3 (1,240 ± 547.4 vs. 1,376 ± 584.4 mL; p = ns [not significant]), transfusion rate (10 vs. 4%; p = ns), surgery time (48.2 ± 10.8 vs. 46.6 ± 9.1 minute; p = ns) or LOS (4.1 ± 2.7 vs 4.3 ± 2.0 days; p = ns). At a mean follow-up of 63.3 ± 4.9 days, there was no significant difference between the bipolar sealer group and the control group in terms of net improvement of Knee Society Score (KSS) knee (26.0 ± 16.7 vs. 23.7 ± 12.3; p = ns) and KSS function (20.4 ± 19.3 vs. 20.8 ± 19.9; p = ns). Compared with the use of conventional electrocautery in primary TKA without tourniquet, we found no effect of bipolar sealer use on blood loss, transfusion rates, LOS, or functional recovery. This is a Level II, prospective cohort study.
