The Effect of Innovation and Renewable Energy on CO2 Emissions For Emerging Asian Countries
Authors: Cheng Chuah Soo , Kamaruddin Juliana Noor
Published: October 2024

This study investigates the impact of innovation and renewable energy consumption on CO2 emissions in seven emerging Asian countries using static panel data methods. The analysis employs Pooled Ordinary Least Squares (OLS), Fixed Effect (FE), and Random Effect (RE) models to estimate the relationships, with the most appropriate model selected based on the Breusch-Pagan LM test and the Hausman test.  Our findings reveal that both GDP and urbanization significantly increase CO2 emissions, while GDP squared and renewable energy consumption significantly decrease emissions, supporting the Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) hypothesis.  Diagnostic tests indicate the presence of heteroskedasticity and first-order autocorrelation, addressed using robust standard errors. The results underscore the dual role of economic growth and technological advancement in shaping environmental outcomes, highlighting the critical importance of sustainable development policies in emerging economies.

The COVID-19 pandemic has proliferated courier service companies due to increasing customer demand. Customers prefer some courier service companies over others because of certain factors, including timeliness, order discrepancy, personal contact quality, order condition, and operational information sharing. The study investigates the factors contributing to customer satisfaction when choosing courier services. A survey questionnaire was distributed to customers to gauge their overall level of satisfaction and assessment of potential contributing factors.  Respondents were selected from those who have experience using the courier service. From the results of multiple regression analysis, four factors, timeliness, personal contact quality, order condition, and operational information sharing, significantly influence customer satisfaction when choosing courier service.  Order discrepancy does not significantly influence customer satisfaction because customers trust the courier service providers to provide the service as expected.  The implications of the study are discussed in the paper.

Published: October 2024

Social Influencers as environmental leaders utilize social media platforms to enhance community engagement in advocating sustainability. This study explores the underexplored role of micro-influencers in fostering pro-environmental behaviors among Malaysian youths and innovating community engagement by employing a qualitative approach in conducting semi-structured interviews with five micro-influencers. Our findings indicate the critical role of micro-influencers in raising awareness and actively engaging communities in adopting sustainable practices. The findings reveal three key themes: leadership qualities, pro-environmental behaviors, and persuasive narrative strategies. Through the innovative use of social media, these influencers overcome linguistic and geographical barriers, fostering enhanced community engagement in the pursuit of environmental stewardship. However, the sample size of five micro-influencers may limit the generalizability of the findings, as it may only partially represent the diverse range of micro-influencers. The result of this research can be used as recommendations for organizations, non-governmental organizations and governmental bodies that can leverage the insights from this study to strategically engage micro-influencers in environmental campaigns, recognizing their unique ability to reach and resonate with specific communities, particularly Malaysian youths. This study offers a novel perspective on digital environmental leadership by uncovering the unique role of micro-influencers in fostering community engagement and cultivating a culture of sustainability. It provides original insights into how these emerging leaders not only inspire but also empower communities to take meaningful action toward environmental preservation. The study highlights the underexamined potential of micro-influencers in exceeding traditional barriers to community engagement, offering valuable implications for future strategies in environmental advocacy.

Published: October 2024

Differentiated learning in fifth-grade elementary schools in the Untung Surapati cluster, East Denpasar District, has not yet been maximized. Teachers face challenges in implementing differentiated learning when teaching sentence structure. This issue needs to be examined to determine solutions that can be used in sentence structure teaching. The methods used for data collection include observation, interviews, and document analysis. The challenges faced by teachers include: 1) limited teaching staff. To address this, students are divided into several groups. 2) Difficulty understanding the concept of sentence structure. To overcome this difficulty, teachers can use the picture-and-picture method with the assistance of keywords. 3) Limited teaching time. This can be addressed by collaborating with fellow teachers in developing teaching materials. 4) With a large number of students, implementing cooperative learning can be a solution to handling large classes. 5) Teachers' skills in implementing differentiated learning are not yet optimal. Teachers are given opportunities to attend training sessions. 6) Each student has different needs, interests, and skill levels. To address this, teachers create flexible assessment rubrics. 7) Teachers use various teaching approaches to meet the diverse needs of students. Adjusting assessments to different teaching approaches becomes a challenge for teachers. Teachers should create assessment instruments based on the methods applied in teaching.

Artikkeli tarkastelee, millaisia pelillisiä piirteitä yleisöanalytiikan hyödyntäminen tuo iltapäivälehden toimitustyöhön, miten yleisö suhtautuu niihin ja millaiseksi tämä muovaa journalismin ja yleisön suhdetta. Artikkeli perustuu Iltalehden toimituksessa kerättyyn etnografiseen aineistoon sekä 21 Iltalehden lukijan ryhmähaastatteluihin ja ryhmächat-keskusteluihin. Artikkelin teoreettinen viitekehys rakentuu journalismin ja yleisön suhdetta koskevasta tutkimuksesta. Tarkastelemme tätä suhdetta pelillisyyden näkökulmasta. Tulosten mukaan toimituksen ja yleisön pelillinen toiminta pohjasi jaettuun käsitykseen siitä, että Iltalehti tuottaa puheenaiheita. Toimitus avasi vuorovaikutuksen otsikoilla ja käytti runsaasti resursseja, jotta ne houkuttelisivat yleisöä. Lukijat puolestaan olivat oppineet tulkitsemaan otsikoita ja päättelemään niistä, kannattiko juttu lukea. Toimitus suunnitteli julkaisurytmiä analytiikkatiedon perusteella ja reagoi yleisön käyttäytymiseen minuuteissa. Lukijat vastasivat syntyneeseen runsauteen kehittämällä taktiikoita juttujen valikoimiseen. Vaikka analytiikan tuottama algoritminen yleisökäsitys hallitsi toimituksen ja yleisön suhdetta, se hämmensi etenkin lukijoita ja askarrutti myös toimitusta, joka joutui arvailemaan sisältöjen kulutuksen syitä. Toimituksen ja yleisön pelillistynyt suhde kiteytyi viiteen piirteeseen: se oli vastavuoroinen ja nopeatempoinen mutta myös epätasapainoinen, jännitteinen ja välineellinen.

THE URGENCY OF REGULATING THE MISUSE OF PERSONAL DATA POSSESSION BY E-COMMERCE FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF COMPETITION LAW
Authors: Amri Prima
Published: October 2024

The era of the digital economy has increased global trade transactions, giving rise to e-commerce companies that utilize the internet, websites, and applications to carry out trading activities in goods and services. This transformation has led to a change in viewing personal data as a commodity, so that e-commerce practices often take possession of personal data. Departing from this background, this study analyzes how the existing business competition law provisions anticipate the mastery of private data by e-commerce. This study uses a normative juridical method, with a legal-statutory approach and a conceptual approach. The results of the study show that mastery of personal data is indeed permitted in the Personal Data Protection Law, but it is necessary to pay attention to its impact on e-commerce business competition in Indonesia. The practice of controlling personal data has the potential to be misused and can result in monopolistic practices and/or unfair business competition. Current business competition legal instruments and the Business Competition Supervisory Commission (KPPU) are still limited in conducting investigations related to the practice of mastery of personal data by e-commerce which involves market advertising, definition of the e-commerce market, measuring market power, and reviewing mergers. It is necessary to formulate separate regulations regarding the prohibition of controlling personal data which can result in monopolistic practices and/or unfair business competition, both in the revision of the Business Competition Law and other related regulations.

La fabbrica dell’intelligibile. Il problema estetico in Claude Lévi-Strauss
Authors: Bartalesi Lorenzo
Published: October 2024

Il ruolo dei problemi estetici nel pensiero di Claude Lévi-Strauss è stato a lungo trascurato o ridotto a preoccupazioni interne a una teoria dell'arte. Lungi dall'assegnare all'estetica una funzione ornamentale della teoria e ai fenomeni estetici uno spazio periferico delle organizzazioni sociali, Lévi-Strauss considera la percezione estetica come una condizione fondamentale dell'esistenza umana e offre spunti preziosi per un'indagine più generale del suo ruolo nei processi di produzione culturale. L'articolo si propone di far emergere la virtualità inespressa del pensiero estetico di Lévi-Strauss come modello per la ricerca attuale sui fenomeni estetici. In primo luogo, seguendo l'esortazione di Lévi-Strauss a pensare l'estetica nei termini di una logica del concreto che produce ordini di intelligibilità all'interno del sensibile; quindi, inaugurando un dialogo tra l'indagine lévi-straussiana sulle operazioni logiche del pensiero selvaggio e gli attuali approcci alle funzioni estetiche della cognizione nel quadro dell'evoluzione umana.

Published: October 2024

Cooperatives have become significant contributors to the realization of the Sustainable Development Goals No. 1: No Poverty. Transitioning associations to cooperatives is crucial for promoting sustainable economic development, empowering communities, and enhancing collective well-being. This research assessed the readiness of Small-Scale Fisheries (SSF) communities in the Global South to form a cooperative. This research employed an exploratory research approach in six coastal Barangays of Batad, situated in the 5th District of Iloilo Province. The findings indicated that respondents have a slight level of awareness with regard to the advantages and economic advantages associated with becoming part of a cooperative. On the other hand, there was a clear difference in members’ perceptions of the benefits and financial returns that comes with belonging to a cooperative. According to the study, females are more likely to support the association’s move towards a cooperative structure, especially younger individuals. The main issue highlighted was the lack of skilled officers and inadequate resources and training for association members. A lecture on Cooperative Awareness and capability trainings on financial management, bookkeeping, and credit management should be organized in order to increase associations readiness to be a cooperative.

Regional financial potential after the enactment of the law on the financial relations between central government and regional governments in Indonesia
Authors: Nasution Faisal Akbar
Published: October 2024

The implementation of government decentralization in Indonesia is facing regulatory problems for autonomous regions’ financing sources. Therefore, attention to regional finance is increasingly needed given that autonomous regions are required to carry out various central government interests in addition to their affairs. This leads to a split of power over financing development policy by the regional government. However, this does not mean that the local government’s financial needs must be free from the central government’s intervention. This study briefly compares financing regional autonomy in Indonesia, France, Germany and Thailand. The results show that the distribution of financial resources between the central government and regional governments is inconsistent with Article 18A section 2 of Law No.1/2022. The results also show that the provisions of various sources of taxation and levy have not met the financial needs of regions in Indonesia. Financial balance in the form of Natural Resources Production Sharing Fund from various natural resources owned by regions that only share unrenewable resources such as mining excavated materials remains unequally distributed between regions that have natural resources.
Islands, archipelagos and water: Insights from New Guinea
Authors: Baldacchino Godfrey
Published: October 2024

New Guinea is the world’s second largest island (land area: 785,753 km2), divided politically between the easternmost provinces of Indonesia and the sovereign state of Papua New Guinea. It affords a unique case study of how the alignment of statehood and territory is particularly nuanced by islandness, archipelagicity and the fluid indeterminacy of water. Based on a global review of relevant but niche ‘island studies’ literature, this paper argues that different protocols and practices treat islands, singly or collectively, in different ways, either pulling them closer or pushing them further away from the territorialisation regime that was catapulted by the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea in the late twentieth century.

Background: Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an infectious disease brought on by SARS-CoV-2. China's Hubei Province's Wuhan City is where the pandemic first began. The number for Indonesia is 1,790. Neutrophil Lymphocyte Ratio (NLR) and C-reactive protein (CRP) tests are conducted to assess the disease prognosis in COVID-19 patients, who may have a bad prognosis. Purposes: To find out the relationship between NLR and CRP in COVID-19 patients at Bunda Margonda General Hospital in 2021. Method: This study used an analytic observational method with a cross-sectional approach and used secondary data from 100 samples from COVID-19 patients' medical records at Bunda Margonda General Hospital in 2021. Results: More COVID-19 patients were found in 56 male patients, aged 46-55 years, with 22 patients; NLR values increased in 67 patients and 80 patients in CRP. There is a significant relationship between NLR and CRP in COVID-19 patients at Bunda Margonda General Hospital in 2021, with a p-value of 0.001. The most common COVID-19 cases were found in male patients 46-55 years of age, and there was an increase in the NLR and CRP values. Conclusion: There is a relationship between NLR and CRP in COVID-19 patients at Bunda Margonda General Hospital in 2021.

Background: Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) has a risk of death. The risk of death increases in patients with several factors, such as age, gender, and comorbidities. Purposes: This study aims to determine the risk factors for the cause of death in patients with COVID-19 at Fatmawati Hospital in 2021. Methods: This study uses a quantitative approach with a case-control design without matching with a ratio of 1:1. Cases were identified as deaths due to COVID-19 as many as 109, and controls were COVID-19 sufferers who lived or recovered during the treatment period as many as 109 respondents. Data were collected from medical record data and analyzed multivariately with logistic regression. Result: The bivariate modeling showed that Age, Diabetic, Pneumonia, and Acute Respiratory Syndrome (ARDS) have significantly affected COVID-19 mortality (p ≤ 0.05). Multivariate modeling showed the ARDS variable (p=0.0001; OR=53.067) and age variable (p=0.028; OR=2.8) to be risk factors for COVID-19 death at Fatmawati Hospital Jakarta with an Attribute Risk (AR) value of 92,7% and the value of Population Attribute Risk (PAR) 58%. Conclusion: This model can predict 62.1% of COVID-19 deaths; the rest is due to other factors not studied in this study. ARDS is the dominant factor causing the death of COVID-19 at Fatmawati Hospital, Jakarta.
Association of Nutritional Status with Quality of Life in Breast Cancer Patients on Chemotherapy
Authors: Muhammad Nanda Noor , Aziza Aziza
Published: October 2024

Background: Cancer patients often experience a decline in their nutritional status due to chemotherapy, which can result in malnutrition and negatively impact their quality of life. However, there has been limited research on the prevalence of these conditions in breast cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy in Indonesia. Purposes: This research aims to explore the connection between the quality of life and the nutritional status of breast cancer patients receiving chemotherapy treatment. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in a private hospital in Pekanbaru using non-probability sampling. Demographic profile, nutritional status assessment by PG-SGA, and quality of life assessment by the EORTC QLQ C-30 module were obtained. Mann-Whitney and Spearman's tests analyzed the association between nutritional status and QoL. Results: The average age of breast cancer patients was 45.46±14.375. The prevalence of overweight and obesity was 64.1%. According to the PG-SGA score, the vast majority of patients, approximately 91%, were discovered to be well-nourished. The nutritional status was significantly associated with most functional and symptom scales (p<0.05). Improved nutritional status is associated with increased functionality and a reduction in symptoms, while malnutrition has been linked to decreased quality of life across multiple dimensions. Conclusion: The nutritional status of breast cancer patients affects some dimensions of quality of life. Well-nourished patients had better function and fewer symptoms.
