Preventing Corruption in Bali’s Customary Villages: How Do Regional Institutions Play a Role?

Customary villages are traditional institutions in Bali that have existed for centuries. The village has autonomy when it comes to managing its customary arrangements based on local traditions and wisdom, meaning that it does not have a hierarchical relationship with the government based on the state structure of the Republic of Indonesia. The Bali Province Government, a second-layer hierarchical government structure in Indonesia, applies a unique approach to performing relationships with customary villages in Bali as it has regularly supported the existence and activities of customary villages, including providing funding assistance. Unfortunately, several cases have shown the misuse of government funds. This article, therefore, identifies the practice of fraud and corruption in customary villages in Bali. Second, it analyses the role of the Customary Community Development Agency (DPMA) of the Bali Province Government in supervising the financial management of Bali's customary villages. Lastly, it supports the synergy between DPMA and the Representative Office of the Financial and Development Supervisory Agency (BPKP) of Bali Province in preventing corruption cases in the customary villages. The article applies empirical legal research, which involves collecting primary and secondary data and analyzing them using statutory, factual, and legal concept analysis approaches. The research suggests that fraud and corruption cases in customary villages cause a loss of government funds, harming the financial management of Village Credit Institutions (LPD), and involving the misuse of power. The provincial regulation authorizes DPMA to address this issue by monitoring how customary villages use the Bali Province Government grants. This paper then argues that the DPMA’s role would be more effective if it adopted a more formal collaboration with the Representative BPKP in Bali Province through various joint programs that support the comprehensive efforts to prevent corruption in customary villages in Bali.

Penegakan Hukum Dalam Keterlambatan Pembayaran Pajak Kendaraan Bermotor Di Kabupaten Tabanan

The increase in population has led to a rapid increase in motor vehicle ownership. Motorized vehicles have become a basic necessity for some people. Ownership of motorized vehicles will be followed by obligations as taxpayers who must make tax payments. However, increasing the number of motor vehicle ownership does not necessarily increase public awareness to be obedient and aware of the obligation to pay taxes. This can lead to legal consequences for both the community and the government. This research aims to find out the regulation in the field of taxes responding to the lack of public awareness of tax payments. With the main problems that will be discussed in this study, namely 1) how is law enforcement in late payment of motor vehicle tax in Tabanan Regency, 2) What are the inhibiting factors in the enforcement of late payment of motor vehicle tax in Tabanan Regency.

Personal Resilience in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: A Concept Analysis

Introduction: The most common kind of diabetes is type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), which accounts for 95% of all DM cases. Microvascular and macrovascular complications burden patients physically, psychologically, socially, and economically. Patients must be resilient to live more affluent lives. Personal resilience in T2DM patients is essential in nursing practice and the development of nursing science. Understanding the concept of personal resilience is important to minimize bias and distortion in using the concept of resilience, especially in T2DM patients. Objectives: This study aimed to clarify the concept of personal resilience in T2DM patients. Methods: Walker and Avant's concept analysis approach was applied. A literature search was performed using Google Scholar, ProQuest, ScienceDirect, and PubMed databases. The articles used from the databases were published between 2013 and 2022. Results: The attributes determining the level of personal resilience of T2DM patients are survival, adaptation, and recoverability. The antecedents include self-esteem, spirituality, culture, self-efficacy, optimism, hope, and age. The consequences include adherence, quality of life, effective coping, equilibrium, and illness perception. Conclusions: The three attributes, antecedents, and consequences of good personal resilience identified from the concept analysis could improve the researchers' understanding of personal resilience and its implementation in the care of T2DM patients along with the complexity of the problems experienced by patients. The clarity of this concept lies in the reference for treatment that focuses on empowering the personal abilities of T2DM patients to carry out self-management to achieve prosperous quality of life.

Sense of coherence in stroke: A concept analysis with Rodger's evolutionary approach.

Sense of coherence (SoC) refers to how individuals cope with stress and maintain health, yet its concept remains no consensus about how it is defined and applied in the context of stroke care. This study aims to clarify the concept of SoC by reviewing its applications in various stroke populations and its changes across different stages of stroke. The adapted steps of Rodger's evolutionary approach of concept analysis were used to explore the attributes, surrogate or related terms, antecedents, and consequences of SoC in stroke. Twenty-five articles were included after evaluating 1065 records and 80 full-text articles. The SoC's attributes, characterized with dynamicity of comprehensibility, manageability, and meaningfulness in stroke, lie within the different stroke phases (acute, sub-acute and chronic). There is no surrogate term to SoC. Related terms included coping, resistance resources, resilience, hardiness, and readiness. Antecedents related to stroke survivors and informal caregivers included sociodemographic factors, body functioning factors, social factors, stroke-related factors, and caring factors. Consequences for stroke survivors, informal caregivers, and dyads included psychological status, health behavior, marital satisfaction, care provision, and perception of rehabilitation needs. The findings of the concept analysis of SoC in stroke reveal that this concept extends beyond survivors experienced stroke, and its comprehensive understanding needs considering various aspects including the SoC of informal caregivers, dyads, and family. This paper serves as a novel perspective for future stroke care, focusing on the needs for dynamic monitoring and adaptations to changes of SoC at different stages of stroke care. A proper understanding of SoC can also contribute to developing assessment tools and theoretical models in stroke care with some emphasis on the phases of strokes (attributes), demographic and functional characteristics (antecedents), and both stroke survivor-caregiver-related outcomes sensitive to SoC.

A Formal Concept Analysis approach to hierarchical description of malware threats

The problem of intelligent malware detection has become increasingly relevant in the industry, as there has been an explosion in the diversity of threats and attacks that affect not only small users, but also large organisations and governments. One of the problems in this field is the lack of homogenisation or standardisation in the nomenclature used by different antivirus programs for different malware threats. The lack of a clear definition of what a category is and how it relates to individual threats makes it difficult to share data and extract common information from multiple antivirus programs. Therefore, efforts to create a common naming convention and hierarchy for malware are important to improve collaboration and information sharing in this field.Our approach uses as a tool the methods of Formal Concept Analysis (FCA) to model and attempt to solve this problem. FCA is an algebraic framework able to discover useful knowledge in the form of a concept lattice and implications relating to the detection and diagnosis of suspicious files and threats. The knowledge extracted using this mathematical tool illustrates how formal methods can help prevent new threats and attacks. We will show the results of applying the proposed methodology to the identification of hierarchical relationships between malware.

Perioperative Sleep Disturbance in Surgical Patients: A Concept Analysis.

To investigate and define the concept of perioperative sleep disturbance (PSD) among surgical patients, with the goal of aiding clinical practice and research. Walker and Avant's eight-step approach of concept analysis was applied. A systematic search of English literature was conducted in the following databases: PubMed, Web of Science, and CINAHL, with a time restriction from 2010 to August 2023. Based on the 54 eligible studies, the attributes of PSD in surgical patients were identified as individualized symptom manifestation, difficulty initiating and/or maintaining sleep, and altered sleep patterns. The antecedents included poor psychological state, inaccurate perception, surgery and/or anesthesia-related physiological changes, and environmental interference. PSD in surgical patients was found to result in physical discomfort, psychological disorder, impaired neurocognitive function, and prolonged recovery. A clearly defined and distinguishable concept of PSD in surgical patients was achieved through concept analysis, which provides a conceptual basis for future development in both clinical practice and related research.

Finally, the eight stages of RCA method are set out, along with some ontological, epistemological, design, rigour and presentation considerations.

Nurse decision making in the emergency room: a concept analysis review

The development of decision-making models for emergencies is critical because emergencies can occur anytime and anywhere. This is because this situation requires quick and appropriate action. The purpose of this concept analysis is to analyze and clarify the concept of decision makers in the scope of emergencies and develop an operational definition of the concepts of decision makers, attributes, antecedents, and consequences. The method used is the concept analysis approach of Walker and Avant. The results of the analysis show that the attributes of the concept of decision-making include the process of managing resources to ensure effectiveness and security. This management process uses appropriate and effective procedures in accordance with standards, and the values that exist in society refer to human needs to achieve common goals. Antecedents for decision-making include used cases and technology. The consequences of decision-making include positive impacts such as readiness, experience, responsibility, and action according to emergency procedures. This analysis helps nurses understand concepts and make action decisions in the emergency room. It is recommended that nurses be aware of the characteristics of the situation and the technology used as a guide in performing such actions. More research is needed to analyze the needs needed in the decision-making of nurses' activities in the emergency room.

Bridging the gaps in patient education through aesthetic-based education: A concept analysis study.

Aesthetics is a branch of philosophy that has been entered into the philosophy of education for a long time. Reviewing the concept of aesthetics in education, we can see the components that can cover a number of challenges in the field of patient education. Focusing on the conceptual dimensions obtained from the analysis of this concept, the aim is matching the resulting conceptual categories with the gaps in the field of patient education. Using a scoping review, we reviewed the literature dealt with different dimensions of aesthetic-based education. Walker and Avant's concept analysis approach was used to inductively analyze the content obtained from the review of literature. The data were divided into three general groups of antecedents, attributes, and consequences of the aesthetic-based education concept, and the final conceptual model was defined. Interdisciplinary comparisons between educational and medical sciences were made to match the concept of aesthetic education with the field of patient education to cover its issues. During the scope review process of the texts, after screening the articles, 17 articles selected to enter the concept analysis stage. Concept analysis phase showed that the main conceptual categories of antecedents of aesthetic-based education are aesthetic-based intrapersonal competencies and aesthetic capacities of educational setting. The attributes include aesthetic-based educational content and teaching methods including unity in diversity, combination with art and being based on empathy. The consequences include subliminal learning and constraint-free learning. These conceptual dimensions can cover four important issues in patient education including patient satisfaction, pedagogical competences of health educators, patient centeredness, and empathetic relationship. Applying aesthetic concept in the patient education process can bridge part of the gaps in this process. So, this study can be an introduction to future innovative models based on aesthetic paradigm in the field of patient education.

Enhancing Paternal Support: A Concept Analysis of Social Support for First-Time Fathers

Introduction. Social support, as a multidimensional concept, is studied across disciplines. However, examining the concept in relation to first-time fathers in the perinatal period remains an underexplored avenue. This analysis aims to clarify what social support for first-time fathers means through an operational definition that will assist healthcare providers in supporting fathers as valuable assets to the wellbeing of their partners and children. Design. Walker and Avant’s concept analysis approach is used to identify the attributes, antecedents, and consequences of social support for first-time fathers during the perinatal period. Data Source. A thorough title and abstract review led to the analysis of 41 articles from databases, including MEDLINE, CINAHL, PsycINFO, the Social Sciences Citation Index, and Embase databases from 1970 to 2022. Results. Social support for first-time fathers can be described as a relational strategy and supportive intervention from both informal and formal sources. This concept analysis broadens the meaning of social support by considering structural and functional attributes. It offers fresh insights into how support can be coordinated across microsystems and macrosystems to address the distinctive requirements of current-day fathers within the intricate family dynamics. Furthermore, gender, cultural, and generational differences affect the preferences and needs of fathers, as well as their ability to support their partners and infants. Fathers preferred emotional support from their partners and sought informational and appraisal support from healthcare professionals. In addition, supportive relationships are characterized by proximity, reciprocity, congruency, and continuity during the perinatal period. Conclusion. Conceptualizing social support encompasses both upstream and downstream approaches across structures and systems to support fathers. Support for first-time fathers includes developing father-specific approaches to perinatal nursing care and practice. Social support carries implications for fostering socially inclusive policies, interdisciplinary curriculum integration, advocacy, and research aimed at improving paternal mental health and perinatal wellbeing.
