Analisis Penggunaan Mesin Electronic Data Capture (EDC) Pada Wajib Pajak Restoran Sebagai Upaya Mengoptimalkan Penerimaan Pajak Daerah di Kota Kupang

This research aims to explain the implementation of the policy on the use of Electronic Data Capture (EDC) machines among restaurant taxpayers in Kupang City and to explain the factors that hinder and obstruct the implementation process as well as the use of EDC machines as a payment transaction system for restaurant taxpayers in Kupang City. This study employs a descriptive qualitative approach by conducting interviews with informants from the Badan Pendapatan Daerah Kota Kupang, Bank NTT KCU Kupang, and restaurant taxpayers who have installed EDC machines. The research findings indicate that the policy on the use of Electronic Data Capture (EDC) faces several issues, both in the implementation process and in the use of EDC machines by restaurant taxpayers who have installed them. The lack of awareness, support, and readiness from restaurant taxpayers in terms of technical, administrative, and human resources aspects, as well as ineffective communication and coordination between Bapenda and Bank NTT towards taxpayers, are obstacles in the implementation process of EDC machines. From the perspective of EDC machine usage, technical problems with the machines, such as frequent errors, consumers' understanding level, the billing and tax payment system that is not yet fully digitized through the EDC machine system, the limitations of EDC machine features and services that do not yet meet the needs of restaurant taxpayers, and the human resource aspect of restaurant taxpayers who are not yet able to operate the EDC machines, constitute several non-technical factors that also hinder the use of EDC machines as a payment transaction system.

Clinicians’ perceptions of “enhanced recovery after surgery” (ERAS) protocols to improve patient safety in surgery: a national survey from Australia

BackgroundSurgical patients are at risk of postoperative complications, which may lead to increased morbidity, mortality, hospital length-of-stay and healthcare costs. Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS®) protocols are evidence-based and have demonstrated effectiveness in decreasing complications and associated consequences. However, their adoption in Australia has been limited and the reason for this is unclear. This study aimed to describe clinicians’ perceptions of ERAS protocols in Australia.MethodsA national online survey of anaesthetists, surgeons and nurses was undertaken. Invitations to participate were distributed via emails from professional colleges. The 30-item survey captured respondent characteristics, ERAS perceptions, beliefs, education and learning preferences and future planning considerations. The final question was open-ended for elaboration of perceptions of ERAS. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to describe and compare group differences across disciplines relative to perceptions of ERAS.ResultsThe sample included 178 responses (116 nurses, 65.2%; 36 surgeons, 20.2%; 26 anaesthetists, 14.6%) across six states and two territories. More than half (n = 104; 58.8%) had used ERAS protocols in patient care, and most perceived they were ‘very knowledgeable’ (n = 24; 13.6%) or ‘knowledgeable’ (n = 71; 40.3%) of ERAS. However, fewer nurses had cared for a patient using ERAS (p <.01) and nurses reported lower levels of knowledge (p <.001) than their medical counterparts. Most respondents agreed ERAS protocols improved patient care and financial efficiency and were a reasonable time investment (overall Md 3–5), but nurses generally recorded lower levels of agreement (p.013 to < 0.001). Lack of information was the greatest barrier to ERAS knowledge (n = 97; 62.6%), while seminars/lectures from international and national leaders were the preferred learning method (n = 59; 41.3%). Most supported broad implementation of ERAS (n = 130; 87.8%).ConclusionThere is a need to promote ERAS and provide education, which may be nuanced based on the results, to improve implementation in Australia. Nurses particularly need to be engaged in ERAS protocols given their significant presence throughout the surgical journey. There is also a need to co-design implementation strategies with stakeholders that target identified facilitators and barriers, including lack of support from senior administration, managers and clinicians and resource constraints.

Relationships between Organizational Culture, Organizational Commitment, and Organizational Citizenship Behavior

Organizations that are going to prosper and grow, particularly in the area of human resource management, must be able to recognize new opportunities in order to be ready for the future. The researcher is eager to look at the interactions between three important factors: organizational culture, organizational commitment, and organizational citizenship behavior, based on a survey of relevant literature. Organizational culture is the social glue that keeps workers united and fosters a feeling of community within the company. Previous research has shown that indicators of organizational success are significantly impacted by organizational commitment. An organization’s efficacy can also be significantly increased by practicing organizational citizenship. Current study indicates that employees’ organizational commitment is positively impacted by organizational culture. Furthermore, the results demonstrated that organizational culture has a discernible impact on organizational citizenship behavior. Based on the results of the aforementioned investigations, the researcher concludes that organizational commitment has a considerable impact on organizational citizenship behavior. The study’s results, according to the researcher, should eventually provide light on significant variables affecting organizational development. The final result of this study is that the researcher presents a model of the relationship between three important human resource factors: organizational culture, organizational commitment, and organizational citizenship behavior, as a guideline for organizational administration and human resource management development in the future.

Exploring the Effectiveness of Mediation in Resolving Disputes in the Indonesian Administrative Court

This study analyzes mediation in administrative dispute resolution in Indonesian Administrative Courts. The settlement of administrative disputes through mediation is not recognized in the Administrative Court procedural law. Mediation in the dispute resolution process in Administrative Courts is still a matter of debate. One of the parties to the dispute is a public body or official who is included in the realm of public law, so that mediation is not possible. The execution of Administrative Court decisions that have permanent legal force does not guarantee justice and legal certainty. This research aims to analyze the development and implementation of mediation in settlement of public disputes in Administrative Courts. The research method used is doctrinal research or library research with secondary data sources in the form of legislation on Administrative Courts, Supreme Court regulations on mediation, and scientific journals of research results. The results showed that mediation in public dispute resolution is used as an alternative to dispute resolution and has long been applied in several countries. Mediation in administrative dispute resolution can be carried out in two ways. First, mediation can be carried out outside the Administrative Court, and then the lawsuit is revoked. Second, mediation can be carried out through Court-connected mediation in the Administrative Court. There is a need to develop and strengthen the application of Court-connected mediation for administrative dispute resolution from the aspects of procedural law and Administrative Court resources that support the mediation process.

"For Friendship and Peace": Socialist Romania's International Pioneer Camps in the Aftermath of War (1949-1959)

Situated at the intersection of studies of socialist internationalism and youth, this paper explores the origins and character of Romania’s international pioneer camps and youth exchanges in the immediate postwar decade, from 1949 through the late 1950s. It examines the role played by the Soviet model of socialist internationalism in the development of Romania’s camps and youth exchanges as well as the diplomatic, pedagogical, and medical aims international pioneer camps were expected to fulfill for Romania’s fledgling regime of popular democracy. The few existing works on the evolution of mass youth organizations and the reforms of education in Romania assume the existence of an all-powerful regime and party, who enforced these measures from above, having centralized state power and nationalized property and economic resources. Through an examination of the first international camps organized on the Black Sea Coast and in the Carpathian Mountains in Romania, this study nuances such views, suggesting that the newly created youth and children’s organizations – The Workers’ Youth Union and the Pioneer Organization – were precarious party structures, which lacked politically trustworthy and ideologically trained cadres as well as material and administrative resources to assume full control of the country’s youth in the immediate postwar years

Organizational Performance Improvement Strategies Through Organizational Learning and Employee Empowerment: Organizational Commitment as Mediation

Purpose – Organizational performance is heavily influenced by human resources in government administration, including resource allocation for individual work in all organizations. Organizational performance can be improved by ensuring that each level in the organization meets the job requirements and has a clear plan to support the achievement of organizational goals. Methodology/approach – This research uses quantitative research and uses structural equation modeling analysis (SEM) with Partial Least Squares (PLS) software. The study has a population of 50 officials who support the planning and performance measurement of the regional government unit of the province of Banten. Findings – The result is that learning organization has a direct impact on organizational commitment, while learning organization has no impact on organizational performance. Employee empowerment affects organizational commitment and organizational performance. Organizational commitment influences organizational performance. Organizational commitment does not mediate between learning organization and organizational performance, but may mediate between employee empowerment and organizational performance. Novelty/value – Learning organization and employee empowerment promote sustainable improvement, innovation, and adaptability, and empower employees to make the right decisions and contribute to organizational goals. It fosters commitment, emotional attachment, and productivity, enabling organizations to adapt and maintain competitive advantage.

The Provision of Psychosocial Support to Students in Jordan: Teachers' Knowledge, Attitudes, Skills, Practices, and Perceived Barriers.

Psychosocial support provision in schools is a promising strategy for overcoming barriers to accessing mental health care. This study aimed to assess teachers' knowledge, attitudes, practices, skills, and perceived barriers in providing psychosocial support to students in Jordan. The sample included teachers working in public schools, private schools, the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) schools, and Zaatari camp schools, as well as non-formal education centers. The study utilized a multi-stage stratified cluster sampling technique to select a nationally representative sample. A total of 549 teachers were included, and only 25.2% have ever received mental health training. Most teachers reported a high level of good and acceptable knowledge of psychosocial support and had a positive attitude toward the provision of psychosocial support, however, about a quarter (25.5%) agreed on feeling nervous in discussing students' psychosocial problems with their parents or school administrators. The least enacted practice was the systematic engagement with parents, school administration, and other community resources in students' well-being (sometimes, 31.6%; rarely, 20.4%). Gaps in skills were mainly in communicating with external resources and parents. The main barriers included parents' misunderstanding of teachers' role in providing psychosocial support to students (56.8%), lack of integration of psychosocial support in the curriculum (55.6%), and challenges in identifying students with psychosocial problems due to large class sizes (54.3%). The results show that gaps extend beyond the individual level of teachers to the community level. School-based psychosocial support interventions must consider the multiple factors that influence their implementation at multiple levels, including the individual, relational, community, and societal levels.

Research on the Integration of Educational Resources in Higher Education Administration

In order to improve the integration of higher education resources, local governments should strengthen the administrative management of higher education and propose measures to promote social governance. Therefore, from the perspective of local autonomy, this paper puts forward the following hypotheses about local government behavior and public policy adjustment: whether local autonomy affects the adjustment of higher education policy, whether the role of local intervention policy and legal improvement overlaps, whether the impact on resource integration is perfect, whether the public supervision mechanism is perfect, whether the public plays a role in promoting the integration of educational resources, and whether local laws and regulations have an impact on the integration of educational resources, the educational environment, and the level of local governance. The results show that the policy intervention of local governments and the improvement of laws and regulations have a great impact on the integration of educational resources, which can optimize the educational structure and form a good educational environment, which is the direct factor of the integration of educational resources. Therefore, local governments should strengthen the introduction of intervention policies, improve laws and regulations, and guide the public to participate in the integration of education.

Implementation of The State Border Area Development Policy In Aruk Sambas District West Kalimantan Province

The phenomenon that becomes the object of research is the implementation of the state border area development policy in Aruk, Sambas Regency, West Kalimantan Province. This research aims to analyze the implementation of the state border area development policy in Aruk, Sambas Regency, West Kalimantan Province and formulate a state border area development model in Aruk, Sambas Regency, West Kalimantan Province. The research method used a descriptive qualitative approach. The determination of research informants was carried out through the snowball technique. The results showed that the management of strategic issues in the state border area until now lacks the active role of Ministries/ Institutions and Local Governments. The implementation of development by K/L is still concerned with sectoral ego, this can be evidenced by the large disparity between the Implementation of the BWN-KP Management Master Plan 2020-2024 with programs/activities and budgets of Ministries/Institutions that have been committed to the implementation of development in state border areas in priority location sub-districts, PKSN, PLBN and PPK. Referring to the above, the activities of the Aruk PLBN Border Area Development of Sambas Regency are still categorized as not optimal. Supporting and inhibiting factors for the development of the Aruk PLBN area include the Aruk PLBN Management Resource Factor, the Human Resources Competency Factor, the Information and Technology Support Factor and the Aruk PLBN Management Positive Attitude Factor. Meanwhile, the inhibiting factors of development at PLBN Aruk Sambas Regency include Communication Factors, Infrastructure Factors and Bureaucratic Factors. The development model of border area development of PLBN Aruk Sambas Regency is the institutional development of the Border Management Agency consisting of institutional authority, institutional structure, institutional personnel, and institutional administrative resource management

The integration algorithm of digital resources in business administration based on cluster analysis

The field of business management involves a large amount of data and information sources, including market data, customer data, supply chain data, etc. In order to quantify and analyze different resources, help enterprises better plan and allocate resources, and improve resource utilization efficiency, a clustering analysis based digital resource integration algorithm for business management is studied. Build a business management digital resource integration framework, including data layer, integration layer, and storage layer, to integrate and store data from different sources of business management databases, thereby facilitating unified management and utilization of digital resources by enterprises. The data layer collects data from different business management databases and stores it in the database according to different sources; The integration layer preprocesses the collected data, simply fixes errors and missing information in the data, and improves data quality. Adopting a feature extraction method based on the projection direction uncorrelation strategy of the labeled power set conversion method, the useful feature information of digital resources in enterprise management can be effectively extracted; Based on the two-step clustering analysis method, business management digital resources are clustered according to similar characteristics to complete the classification and integration of business management digital resources, and improve the efficiency of resource utilization; The storage layer adopts the Security Information Diffusion Algorithm (IDA) storage model to store integrated and classified digital resources managed by enterprises, ensuring data security and effectively preventing data leakage and illegal access. The experimental results show that the digital resource structure of business management integrated by this algorithm is clear, with a data redundancy of less than 8% and a difference of less than 11%. The time consumption for data integration is less than 2.11 minutes, indicating good resource integration ability.

Hygienic aspects of mortality of the population of an industrial city

Introduction. The target indicators of the Federal Project “Clean Air” include a reduction in emissions of chemical pollutants by at least 20%. However, the main socially significant goal remains to improve the medical and demographic situation by reducing environmental and hygienic health risks.&#x0D; The purpose of the study was to preliminary assess the reserves for reducing mortality in the city of Omsk by identifying the most unfavourable territories in terms &#x0D; of atmospheric air quality and identify priority chemicals, presumably causing negative trend in mortality.&#x0D; Materials and methods. To assess the quality of atmospheric air in the city of Omsk, the results of social and hygienic monitoring, environmental monitoring &#x0D; of Federal Service of Russia on Hydrometeorology and Monitoring of the Environment (RosGidromet) for the multi-year period over 2009–2022 were used. &#x0D; An analysis of the mortality rate of the population of Omsk for 2017–2022 was carried out. The data were studied in the context of municipal districts of the city of Omsk and in dynamics. Statistical methods were used in the study: ANOVA, correlation analysis, assessment of relative mortality risks. &#x0D; Results. The relative risk (RR) of mortality for persons living in the most polluted areas of the city is 23–25% higher than in conditionally clean areas. Strong positive associations have been established: between the levels of actual total mortality and the specific gravity of atmospheric air samples exceeding the maximum single limit concentrations (R = 0.86; p &lt; 0.05); between perennial average annual carbon monoxide concentrations and standardized rates of total mortality &#x0D; (R = 0.93; p&lt;0.05) and male mortality rates from all natural causes (R = 0.89; p&lt;0.05).&#x0D; Limitations. The study is limited to the statistical research methods used. &#x0D; Conclusion. The results of the study can become the basis for more efficient use of administrative resources in municipal districts of the city. As additional reserves for reducing mortality, the development of primary prevention measures at the outpatient level is important. It is necessary to optimize methodological approaches in the health control system of the population living in risk areas with developed industry.

National Survey on Support for Nurse Practitioner and Physician Assistant/Associate Postgraduate Fellowship/Residency Programs and Director Compensation.

Introduction Although there has been a significant and steady increase nationwide in the number of physician assistant/associate (PA) and nurse practitioner (NP) postgraduate residency/fellowship programs, there remains a paucity of research related to the level of operational support available in many of these programs to facilitate specialty training. Therefore, the primary aim of this study is to conduct a national survey to gather foundational data regarding advanced practice provider (APP) postgraduate fellowship/residency operational support and program director total compensation data in the United States. Methodology A descriptive cross-sectional survey consisting of 27 questions was distributed via email to 336 postgraduate NP, PA, joint NP/PA, and certified nurse-midwifery residency/fellowship programs between November 2023 and December 2023. Frequency tables and descriptive statistics were used to summarize the survey data. Additionally, Spearman's rank correlation coefficients were performed to determine the relationship between the dependent variables and the independent variable. Results There was a statistically significant positive relationship between the organization values the postgraduate program and having sufficient administrative time (rs = 0.342, p < 0.001), having adequate support staff (rs = 0.340, p < 0.001), and being fairly compensated (rs = 0.356, p < 0.001) for program roles and responsibilities. Moreover, slightly less than half of respondents reported having adequate support staff and sufficient administrative time to address program responsibilities. Only 50% of respondents believed they were fairly compensated for their position. Respondents moderately agreed that their organization values the postgraduate training program (M = 4.00, SD = 1.00). Conclusions The results of this study highlight the perceptions of postgraduate program directors regarding adequate administrative support and resources to facilitate specialty-specific training for NPs and PAs. Further research is warranted to evaluate the level of operational support needed to develop and sustain postgraduate APP residency/fellowship training programs now and in the future.
