Abstract

The objectives of the paper is to analyze critically the new regulation that was introduced in 22 October 2015. Indonesian government issued Regulation No. 191 / PMK.010 / 2015 aimed at getting companies to revalue their fixed asset. Under the new regulation, firms may take advantage of lower tax rate imposed on revaluation surplus.Minister of Finance believes that firm future performance will increasas the value of asset rises.The arguments go further by stating thatfirmthat has intention to offerstocks publicly for the first time would also find it beneficial. At the surface the arguments put forward by the government is quiet understandable. However, a deeper analysis shows these arguments are not based on a sound understanding of financial reporting proceduresgoverned by Indonesian Financial Accounting Statement. In summary, there are at least three fundamental weaknesses contained in the arguments: First, the government tends to forget the differences in the calculation of earnings (revenue) for tax purposes versus external reporting purposes, especially for investors and creditors. Second, equating the responsibility of private and public companies in terms of adhering to rules and standards. Third, Presuming that asset value alone determines the firms’future performance.

Keywords: Asset revaluation, operating performance, taxable income,

financial reporting.

Abstrak

Tulisan ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis secara kritis regulasi revaluasi aset yang dikeluarkan pemerintah tanggal 22 Oktober 2015. Pemerintah menerbitkan PMK No. 191/PMK.010/2015 yang diarahkan untuk mendorong perusahaan melakukan revaluasi aset. Regulasi yang baru ini menawarkan insentif pajak atas selisih nilai aset tercatat dan harga pasarnya pasca revaluasi. Menteri keuangan percaya bahwa dengan menaikkan nilai aset sesuai harga pasarnya akan meningkatkan kinerja perusahaan. Alasannya, dengan nilai aset yang tinggi, kemampuan perusahaan untuk mendapatkan kredit akan meningkat dan akan mendorong kinerja perusahaan di masa mendatang. Selain itu, perusahaan yang sedang mempertimbangkan untuk melakukan IPO akan diuntungkan karena memiliki nilai aset yang lebih tinggi. Sepintas argumen-argumen yang dikemukakan oleh pemerintah memang dapat dimengerti. Namun analisis yang lebih mendalam menunjukkan argumen-argumen itu tidak didasari pemahaman yang benar tentang prosedur pelaporan keuangan yang diatur dalam PSAK. Argumen yang dikemukakan juga cenderung menyederhanakan faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhi kinerja operasi di masa mendatang. Setidaknya ada tiga kelemaham mendasar: pertama, pemerintah cenderung melupakan perbedaan perhitungan pendapatan (laba) untuk tujuan pajak dan untuk pelaporan keuangan eksternal, khususnya ditujukan bagi investor dan kreditor. Kedua, menyamakan tanggung jawab perusahan privat dan publik dalam ketaatan terhadap peraturan. Ketiga, anggapan bahwa aset menentukan kinerja perusahaan.

Published: March 2019

A ribbed slab structure has the advantage in the reduction of concrete volume in between the ribs resulting in a lower structural self-weight. In order to overcome the drawbacks in the construction process, the application of steel fibre self-compacting concrete (SCFRC) is seen as an alternative material to be used in the slab. This preliminary investigation was carried out to investigate the flexural behaviour of steel fibre selfcompacting concrete (SCFRC) as the main material in ribbed slab omitting the conventional reinforcements. Two samples of ribbed slab were prepared for this preliminary study; 2-ribbed and 3-ribbed in 1 m width to identify the effect of the geometry to the slab’s flexural behaviour. The dimension of both samples is 2.5 m x 1 m with 150 mm thickness. The compressive strength of the mix is 48.6 MPa based on the cubes tested at 28 days. Load was applied to failure by using the four point bending test set-up with simple support condition. The result of the experiment recorded ultimate load carrying capacity at 30.68 kN for the 2-ribbed slab and 25.52 kN for 3-ribbed slab. From the results, the ultimate load of the 2-ribbed sample exceeds 3-ribbed by approximately 20%. This proved that even with lower concrete volume, the sample can still withstand an almost similar ultimate load. Cracks was also observed and recorded with the maximum crack width of 2 mm. It can be concluded that the steel fibres do have the potential to withstand flexural loadings. Steel fibre reduces macro-crack forming into micro-cracks and improves concrete ductility, as well as improvement in deflection. This shows that steel fibre reinforced self-compacting concrete is practical as it offers good concrete properties as well as it can be mixed, placed easier without compaction.

Published: March 2019

Sewage sludge is a by-product generated within the wastewater treatment process. Severe concern arised as the sludge are massively been dumped to the landfill and it may affect the environment. Many studies had been conducted in reusing the sewage sludge as construction material, where it is one of the optional ways to solve the issue. In this study, dried sewage sludge was incinerated with two different temperatures in order to produce sewage sludge ash (SSA), which are 800°C and 1000°C. After few processes, this SSA then reused in mortar as cement replacement with the replacement percentage of 5%, 10%, 15% and 20% by weight. The strength performance of mortar specimens was investigated after 7, 28, 60 and 90 days of curing. From the results, it is clearly showed that the compressive strength of all mortar specimens increased when the period of curing was prolonged. Moreover, almost all compressive strength of SSA mortars was higher than the control mortar. Therefore, there is potential to reuse this waste material as part of construction materials and hence, its plays an important role for future researches in minimisation of waste.
Condiciones de vida y discriminación a indígenas en Mérida, Yucatán, México
Authors: Gracia María Amalia , Horbath Jorge Enrique
Published: March 2019

Desde hace más de medio siglo Mérida ha recibido flujos migratorios indígenas de pueblos y comunidades adyacentes a su periferia urbana y de otros estados del país, flujos que en la última década dieron lugar a un área plurilingüe con hablantes de maya, chol, zapoteco, mixe y tzotzil, aunque el idioma predominante es el español. A través de la producción de fuentes primarias de información generadas a partir de técnicas cualitativas y el procesamiento de datos censales, el artículo analiza las condiciones de vida de los grupos indígenas que residen en una ciudad que perpetúa las condiciones históricas de segregación y exclusión y muestra algunas de las formas en que se expresa la discriminación étnica y racial en distintos espacios sociales así como la percepción que indígenas y no indígenas de distintos sectores sociales tienen de ella.

Authors: Mohammed Faruk Abdullahi , Kanmodi Kehinde Kazeem , Fagbule Omotayo Francis , Adesina Miracle Ayomikun , Njideka Nwafor Jacob , Sadiq Hamza Abubakar
Published: March 2019

Objectives

To explore the reasons why shisha smokers indulge in shisha smoking habit, and to also explore their attitudes towards quitting shisha smoking habit

Methods

A total of 45 current shisha smokers participated in the study. The study tool was a paper questionnaire. Snowballing technique was the sampling method adopted in the recruitment of study participants. Data obtained was analyzed using the SPSS version 20 software

Results

The mean (±SD) age of the participants was 25.8 (±5.5) years and majority (71.1%) of them were males. The top two reasons why the participants smoke shisha were: “for pleasure” (40%); and “to feel among” (33.3%). The majority (66.7%) of the participants wanted to quit shisha smoking habits. However, only 54.5% (18/33) of them indicated that they made efforts at quitting the behavior within the past one year. Also, only 66.7% (28/42) and 65.6% (21/32) of those participants who had a close friend and a close family member/relative that smoke shisha, respectively, wanted to quit shisha smoking habit

Conclusion

This study shows diverse reasons why shisha smokers engage in shisha smoking habit. Also, many of these smokers were willing to quit shisha smoking habits but, unfortunately, they are yet to quit the habit. This demonstrates the need for social support of shisha smokers in our environment towards quitting shisha smoking habit
Growing by whom? How urban development strategies deal with migration in Bremen and Leipzig
Authors: Kühn Manfred , Bernt Matthias
Published: March 2019

The article examines the urban development strategies of Bremen and Leipzig with regard to their dealing with migration. The key questions of the article are as follows: Which target groups of migrants prefer urban development policies in order to achieve growth goals? To what extent is there a change of perspective on migration from problems to potentials of urban development? Our empirical results show that both cities focus primarily on the immigration of young and highly skilled workers. Both cities also rely on the immigration of students and try to keep them after graduation. However, this orientation is difficult to put into practice, because in both cities the number of job opportunites for highly qualified people is limited. The importance of immigration from abroad, which is the most increasing growth segment, was initially less well perceived by both cities and has only gained more strategic importance in recent years. International immigration is simultaneously perceived as potential and problem in the urban development concepts of both cities. The article discusses the dilemmas of cities in dealing with migration. These include, in particular, the lack of control capacity in terms of migrant selection and recruitment, a "dual regime" between growth and integration policies, and often a selective focus on subgroups of actual immigration.
Institutionalization of the UN Police Peacekeeping
Authors: Tishkov S. A. , Labin D. K.
Published: March 2019

Article studies the strategic frame, organizational and operational aspects of UN peacekeeping missions police components activities to ensure sustaining peace.

It is noted that at present the UN Police actively participates in UN peace operations acting as an integrated solution of issues of peace and security. Consideration is also given to the growing importance of the UN Police to international peace and security and the increased attention given to policing by the Security Council and the Secretary General.

The UN police now engage in United Nations peace operations across the entire peace and security spectrum, from conflict prevention to peacekeeping and peacebuilding. Serving in the frame of UN interim administrations the UN Police acquired a unique experience of law enforcement and international cooperation on combating crime.

It underscores the most recent global developments, including advances made in the Strategic Guidance Framework for International Police Peacekeeping, to ensure coherence of effort and refine strategic police generation platforms.

From the viewpoint of the structural and functional approach, the UN Police as a peacekeeping actor has not only specific functions and tasks, but also the potential, organizational structure, trained personnel needed to perform a wide range of tasks both at the stage of conflict prevention and post-conflict peacebuilding.

The legal and organizational issues of UN Police involvement in peacekeeping activities are almost resolved. At present the UN Police component as an institutional subsystem represents an organizational structure that unites international policemen from various member states, which acts as a collective actor in UN peacekeeping.

Chaos Synergy, Geopolitics And Culture Explain History Of International Relations. A Critique of William Wohlforth
Authors: Martynov B. F.
Published: March 2019

The article is a critique of William Wohlforth’s piece on usefulness of IR theory in explaining the history of international relations published in this issue of MGIMO Review of International Relations. It offers an alternative answer to the key question raised by Wohlforth – why humans continue to resort to such a self-destructive method of conflict resolution as war. The author argues that the current aggravation of relations between Russia and the West helps find a new way of answering this eternal question. With the help of historical examples and logical reasoning the author shows that international relations are governed not so much by structural anarchy, as Wohlforth argues, as by «natural spontaneous systemic force», which does not depend on the will of people and manifests itself in events that seem random and irrational. This force can be rationally known by studying how classical geopolitics, cultural (especially legal culture) and civilizational factors influence international relations. These aspects, according to the author, explain both the Cold War and its on-going «second edition». Taking into account civilizational, cultural, historical, linguistic and legal characteristics of actors becomes the key to an adequate understanding of international politics. It should also be noted that cultural and civilizational features affect not only the practice of international relations, but also the IR. According to the author, the theory of political realism in Russia has been reinterpreted in light of the maxim: «God is not in power, but in truth». Thus, an important category of Russian realism turns out to be «justice».

The alternative answer to the question about the recurrent practice of wars in international relations can be formulated as follows: the states are sometimes forced to fight each other due to their geopolitical contradictions complicated by cultural and civilizational differences.
Two Chancellors: Metternich and Nesselrode
Authors: Kudryavtseva E. P.
Published: March 2019

The article is devoted to the relations of two distinguished statesmen of the Vienna System period – Austrian Chancellor Metternich and Russian Chancellor Nesselrode. They took the helm of the foreign affairs of the allied states for a long period of time – their cooperation lasted almost 40 years. Russian-Austrian union was based on concurrence in their political views regarding the Concert of Europe, adherence to the principles of legitimacy, conservatism and hostility to revolution and remained until the Crimean War. According to estimates of historians, Nesselrode was just an obedient apprentice of the Austrian Chancellor who orchestrated the whole European policy. Adherence to the principles of conservatism and The Holy Alliance resulted in nothing but misfortunes of Russian foreign policy and its submission to the «European Idea». Austria benefited from this and therefore Nesselrode was called «Russian foreign minister in the service of Austria». However documents witness that Nesselrode being an adept of Metternich’s doctrine wasn’t just a blindfolded follower of all Austrian initiatives. He could stand his ground in face of difficult European politics. In his way he faithfully served Russia and Nicolas the I.
Relations within «Triangle» USA – USSR – China at the End of Détente (1977–1980)
Authors: Vorobyova T. A. , Yungblud V. T.
Published: March 2019

The period of détente is usually associated with a decrease of confrontation in US-Soviet relations, the signing of agreements on the limitation of strategic weapons and anti-missile defense systems and the development of trade and economic relations, scientific and cultural exchanges. Strengthening security in Europe is considered another facet of détente. From this perspective détente is viewed as an alternative to the Cold War, and the end of détente is seen as a missed opportunity to develop international relations in the direction of a secure world with working mechanisms for harmonizing the interests of both the great powers and other countries.

The article deals with the history of relations in the triangle USA – USSR – China in 1977– 1980. The evolution of Washington’s foreign policy strategy and the inclusion to it policies towards the USSR and China in these years came at the background of pronounced Soviet– Chinese antagonism. In the first months there was no clear plan in the actions of the Carter administration, there was a sharp rivalry for influence on the president between individual political figures (first of all – S. Vance and Zb. Brzezinski). They proposed different scenarios of the development of the US–Soviet and US – China relations. Throughout the Carter presidency, the US used as much as possible the tensions between Moscow and Beijing. In the framework of tripartite relations, each of the sides consistently pursued its own course aimed at achieving unilateral benefits. There were no attempts to establish a trilateral dialogue with an agreed agenda. The processes of détente practically did not affect the complex of international problems that existed within the American – Soviet – Chinese triangle. Moreover, Washington’s use of the «Chinese card» prevented the reduction of tensions in American–Soviet relations and strengthened the Cold War logic and methods in the planning and implementation of US foreign policy.
Anarchy Is What Explains the History of International Relations
Authors: Wohlforth William C.
Published: March 2019

The article examines the major events of the two previous centuries of international relations through main concepts of political realism. The author argues that in order to understand the present dilemmas and challenges of international politics, we need to know the past. Every current major global problem has historical antecedents. History from the late 19th century constitutes the empirical foundation of much theoretical scholarship on international politics. The breakdown of the Concert of Europe and the outbreak of the devastating global conflagration of World War I are the events that sparked the modern study of international relations. The great war of 1914 to 1918 underlined the tragic wastefulness of the institution of war. It caused scholars to confront one of the most enduring puzzles of the study of international relations, why humans continue to resort to this self-destructive method of conflict resolution? The article shows that the main explanation is the anarchical system of international relations. It produces security dilemma, incentives to free ride and uncertainty of intentions among great powers making war a rational tool to secure their national interests.
The U.S. and the UK in the United Nations: The Impact of the Special Relationship (2001 – 2017)
Authors: Mamedova A. O.
Published: March 2019

Currently U.S.-UK cooperation in the UN does no attract as much attention as it deserves. Despite a conspicuous disparity in the countries’ military and economic might, they have maintained close ties for more than seventy years, which inevitably affects their position in the UN. The allies’ role in the 2003 invasion of Iraq cast suspicion on their activities in the organization. In the early 21st century, the UN itself was faced with a number of challenges, such as terrorism and regional conflicts; U.S. frustration with its effectiveness led to some reform efforts.

Covering the years 2001 – 2017, the article consists of three parts. The first part focuses on quantitative and qualitative parameters determining the U.S.’s and the UK’s roles in the UN and compares their approaches to it. The second part discusses the activity of American and British permanent representatives to the UN, based on their memoirs and interviews. The third part analyses some examples of cooperation and competition in the UN. The list of examples is illustrative rather than comprehensive given the existence of the special relationship.

The analysis of U.S.-UK cooperation in the UN reveals its ambiguous nature, but it does not serve to debunk the myth of the special relationship. The cooperation is largely pragmatic.
Ensaio teórico pela patrimonialização do espaço banal
Authors: Yázigi Eduado Abdo
Published: March 2019

Este ensaio introduz um aporte teórico ao urbanismo, baseado na visão de Louis Wirth (1938) que o exalta, também, como um modo de vida. É uma provocação junto aos leitores: quantas horas da vida de cada um são gastas com visitas ao patrimônio histórico tradicional e quantas são gastas, a vida inteira, no espaço banal fora de suas casas? Disto resulta a necessidade urgente de valorização dos ambientes socialmente apropriados por agremiações de cidadãos lá onde vivem: feiras de artesanato, étnicas, da história de vida, de cuidados de saúde, etc., cujos entornos podem desaparecer se cuidados com a renovação urbana não forem vigiados. É a alma da cidade que pode desaparecer na loucura urbanizadora sem critérios.
Ciberespaço e patrimônio cultural digital
Authors: Ramires Julio Cesar de Lima
Published: March 2019

Esse artigo objetiva apontar algumas reflexões sobre as  novas tecnologias na produção do ciberespaço e os processo de patrimonialização cultural digital. O patrimônio cultural digital é apontado como a  interseção entre patrimônio e as tecnologias da informação e comunicação, com novas potencialidades nas ações de patrimonialização. A partir  da literatura consultada, evidenciou-se  as novas possibilidades para maior participação da sociedade nos processos de patrimonialização, até então centrados na figura do Estado e de suas agências  estatais,  incorporando os sujeitos sociais produtores de cultura  de forma periférica nesses processos. As redes sociais são importantes, especialmente para a preservação dos patrimônios imateriais, e a interdisciplinariedade é uma condição fundamental para a apreensão das articulações entre ciberespaço e patrimonialização digital.

Fast and stable direct relative orientation of UAV-based stereo pair
Authors: Tjahjadi Martinus Edwin , Agustina Fransisca Dwi
Published: March 2019

Coplanarity-based relative orientation (RO) is one of the most crucial processes to obtain reliable 3D model and point clouds in Computer Vision and Photogrammetry community. Whilst a classical and rigorous procedure requires very close approximate values of five independent parameters, a direct method needs additional constraints to solve the parameters. This paper proposes a new approach that facilitates a very fast but stable and accurate solution from five point correspondences between two overlapping aerial images taken form unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) flight. Furthermore, if 3D coordinates of perspective centers are available form geotagged images, rotational elements of the RO parameters can be quickly solved using three correspondences only. So it is very reliable for a provision of closed-form solutions for the rigorous methods. Our formulation regards Thompson’s parameterizations of Euler angles in composing a coplanarity condition. Nonlinear terms are subsequently added into a stereo parallax within a constant term under a linear least squares criteria. This strategy is considered new as compared with the known literatures since the proposed approach can find optimal solution. Results from real datasets confirm that our method produces a fast, stable and reliable linear solution by using at least five correspondences or even only three conjugate points of geotagged image pairs.

Safer Than the Average Human Driver (Who is Less Safe than Me)? Examining a Popular Safety Benchmark for Self-Driving Cars
Authors: Nees Michael
Published: March 2019

Although the level of safety required before drivers will accept self-driving cars is not clear, the criterion of being safer than a human driver has become pervasive in the discourse on vehicle automation. This criterion actually means “safer than the average human driver,” because it is necessarily defined with respect to population-level data. At the level of individual risk assessment, a body of research has shown that most drivers perceive themselves to be safer than the average driver (the better-than-average effect). Using an online sample of U.S. drivers, this study replicated the better than average effect and showed that most drivers stated a desire for self-driving cars that are safer than their own perceived ability to drive safely before they would: (1) feel reasonably safe riding in a self-driving vehicle; (2) buy a self-driving vehicle, all other things (cost, etc.) being equal; and (3) allow self-driving vehicles on public roads. Since most drivers believe they are better than average drivers, the benchmark of achieving automation that is safer than a human driver (on average) may not represent acceptably safe performance of self-driving cars for most drivers.
Retrospective surprise: A computational component for active inference
Authors: Katahira Kentaro , Kunisato Yoshihiko , Okimura Tsukasa , Yamashita Yuichi
Published: March 2019

In the free energy principle (FEP), proposed by Friston, it is supposed that agents seek to minimize the “surprise”–the negative log (marginal) likelihood of observations (i.e., sensory stimuli)–given the agents' current belief. This is achieved by minimizing the free energy, which provides an upper bound on the surprise. The FEP has been applied to action selection in a framework called “active inference,” where agents are supposed to select an action so that they minimize the “expected free energy” (EFE). While the FEP and active inference have attracted the attention of researchers in a wide range of fields such as psychology and psychiatry, as well as neuroscience, it is not clear which psychological construct EFE is related to. To facilitate the discussion and interpretation of psychological processes underlying active inference, we introduce a computational component termed the “retrospective (or residual) surprise,” which is the surprise of an observation after updating the belief given the observation itself. We show that the predicted retrospective surprise (PRS) provides a lower bound on EFE: EFE is always larger than PRS. We illustrate the properties of EFE and PRS using examples of inference for a binary hidden cause given a binary observation. Essentially, EFE and PRS show similar behavior; however, in certain situations, they provide different predictions regarding action selection. This study also provides insights into the mechanism of active inference based on EFE.

Both subvocal articulatory rehearsal and attentional refreshing have been advanced as rehearsal mechanisms for verbal material (including speech sounds) in working memory, but the mechanism of rehearsal for nonverbal sounds—especially timbral attributes of sounds—remains unclear. Since timbral attributes of sounds often have been assumed to be unvocalizable, researchers have suggested that working memory for timbre must involve an attentional or sensory (rather than subvocal) maintenance mechanism. Two experiments examined the role of subvocal rehearsal and attentional refreshing in working memory for timbre using sounds that were designed to be abstract, unvocalizable, and devoid of apparent mnemonic semantic connections. Participants heard either three (Experiment 1) or two (Experiment 2) brief (250 ms), abstract sounds. Following an 8000 ms retention interval, participants heard a single probe sound and indicated whether the probe had been a member of the original set. During the retention interval, manipulations were introduced to suppress subvocal articulatory rehearsal, attentional refreshing, or both. Across both experiments, all conditions with articulatory suppression during the retention interval showed worse memory performance than a control condition. Effects of attentional refreshing suppression were inconsistent. These experiments suggested that subvocal imitation may be an important mechanism of rehearsal in working memory for timbre—a finding that presents complications for existing theoretical perspectives on both verbal and nonverbal working memory.

Various arrangements have been made to increase the effectiveness of the
audit. One of these arrangements is mandatory rotation. What is meant by the
mandatory rotation is to increase the impartiality and independence of the
auditor. Independence and impartiality are also indispensable for professional
accountants. In this study, it is aimed to determine whether the mandatory
rotation of independent auditing should be applied to accountants and to
determine the view of the members of the profession in terms of mandatory
rotation. Firstly, literature review has been done to determine the aims of the
mandatory rotation applied in the independent audit. As a result of the review,
it has been determined that the rotation requirement in the independent audit
is aimed at the desired characteristics of accounting activities. A
questionnaire technique was conducted on the certified public accountants operating
in Tokat province in order to determine the approaches of the members of the
professions. The results show that professionals do not support the
implementation of the mandatory rotation for accountants.

Kredi
dolarizasyonu olarak tanımlanabilecek ülkedeki yerleşiklerin sahip
oldukları  yabancı para cinsinden
krediler, döviz kurunda bir oynama olduğunda ekonominin tümü için bir maliyet
oluşturacağı için dikkatle izlenmesi gereken bir değişkendir. Bu nedenle, yurt içinden ve yurt dışından sağlanan yabancı para nakdi
krediler ile dövize endeksli kredilerinin toplamı Merkez Bankası tarafından
izlenmektedir.  Yabancı para cinsinden
borçlanmanın finansal kriz olasılığına katkı yapıp yapmadığının araştırılması
bu çalışmanın temel argümanı olmaktadır.
