Effect of Profitability, Leverage, Liquidity, and Green Accounting on Corporate Social Responsibility Disclosures: Study on Mining Companies Listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange from 2016 to 2020

A company will maintain their existence and build a favorable image in public's eyes by fulfilling their social and environmental responsibilities as consequences of their expanding business. The Indonesian government through Law No. 32 of 2009 asserts the importance of balancing natural resource management, utilization of natural resources and human interests. However, there are still violations in the utilization of Indonesia's natural resources, especially in mining companies. This study aims to investigate whether profitability, leverage, liquidity, and green accounting affect Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) disclosure in mining companies listed in the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during the period of 2016-2020. This study used quantitative method and secondary data; namely annual reports of mining companies that are listed in the IDX and were analysed using SPSS software program. Multiple linear regression analysis was used to analyse the data. Samples of this study were obtained through purposive sampling technique. The results demonstrate that green accounting have a positive and significant effect on Corporate Social Responsibility Disclosure. Meanwhile, leverage, profitability and liquidity do not show any effects on CSR disclosure.

Political Connection and The Readability of The MD&A Disclosure

This research examined the relationship between politically connected companies and the readability of the company's MD&A. Our results show that in the Indonesian setting, the experience of parliamentarians (DPR, MPR), regional heads and local government officials at the company executive level plays an important role in the readability of a company's Management Discussion & Analysis (MD&A). Based on self-presentation theory, we suspect that companies with political connections make it possible to make the disclosures on the company's MD&A easy to read because the management with political connections puts forward their image in the stakeholders' eyes. The narrative that is conveyed is easier to understand as a result. Besides this, management who come from the political circle have the talent and expertise of managing their image in the public eye, thus enabling the management to convey the narrative on MD&A in a way that is easy to read for reasons of concealing the company performance or maintaining their image. We also tested the endogeneity effect using Coarsened Exact Matching Regression (CEM) to confirm our findings and obtained the same result as our previous assumption - that politically connected companies have an MD&A that is easy to read.

Mengetahui Tanggapan Publik Terhadap Inisiatif Sosial Perusahaan

The Corporate Social Initiatives (CSI) is an essential component in increasing public acceptance of the company. Previous research has shown that corporate social marketing is the most effective type of corporate social initiative in influencing the company's image in the public's eyes. Social media is one of the new communication channel options to socialize the company's social initiatives to the public due to the high number of social media users in Indonesia. This study explores how corporate social initiatives and message content affect public responses to posts on social media specifically for corporate social responsibility from Pertamina, namely the Pertamina Foundation.

ANALISIS KEPUASAN NASABAH TERHADAP PELAYANAN FRONTLINER BANK X KANTOR CABANG KHUSUS SUDIRMAN

Customer satisfaction is the key to a service company's success, especially in the banking industry with its increasingly fierce competition. Customer satisfaction is measured by staff services, where interaction between customers and staff is the key. Unsatisfactory frontline staff's (forntliner) services can lower the bank's image in customers' eyes. This study aimed to analyze customer satisfaction with the frontliner's services at Bank-X official branch of Sudirman. The data were collected using a questionnaire with a convenience sampling technique to select the respondents. The analysis method used was SERVQUAL method and gap analysis where customer satisfaction would be known from the difference between customer perceptions of received service with customer expectations. The results showed that customer expectations were higher than perceptions of the frontliner's services, but that did not mean that Bank X's frontliner's services were of poor quality. Respondents who chose Bank X as the main bank compared to other banks and the Cartesius diagram results showed no need to improve service attributes, showing that the customer's opinion on the service is already good. The majority of the respondents' characteristics were office workers, highly educated, and earn more than 5 million rupiahs would certainly have high aspirations. Therefore their expectations of service would also be higher. What needs to be done by Bank X's frontliners is to maintain the quality of existing services and cut down the waiting time for customers by installing the self-service system.

Impact of Pupil Dilation on Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography Retinal Microvasculature in Healthy Eyes.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of pupil dilation using 2.5% phenylephrine and 0.5% tropicamide on quantitative assessment of retinal microvasculature using OCTA. OptoVue AngioVue high density (HD) and non-HD OCTA macula and optic nerve head (ONH) images were obtained at 15-minute intervals predilation and postdilation in 26 healthy participants (mean age: 40.0; 95% confidence interval=33.9, 46.1 y). Superficial macular vessel density (VD) was measured in the whole image VD and the parafoveal region VD. ONH capillary density was measured in the whole image capillary density and the cpCD region. Differences between predilation and postdilation densities were assessed using linear mixed effects models to account for within-patient correlation. Instillation of dilating drops resulted in a small but statistically significant reduction in non-HD ONH whole image capillary density of 0.6%, from a mean of 45.2% (95% confidence interval=41.9%, 48.4%) to 44.6% (41.4%, 47.8%) (P=0.046). A similar reduction in non-HD ONH cpCD of 0.8% also was observed, from a mean of 49.3% (45.3%, 53.3%) to 48.5% (44.5%, 52.4%) (P=0.025). No postdilation decreases in macular VD or HD ONH capillary density were observed. Pupil dilation using topical 2.5% phenylephrine and 0.5% tropicamide results in a small but statistically significant reduction in non-HD ONH whole image and cpCD in healthy eyes. The observed reduction likely is not clinically significant because the observed reduction was within the previously reported range of measurement variability. Further studies should consider investigating these effects in nonhealthy eyes with glaucoma and media opacities, as well as older individuals.

Macular Vascularity in Ischemic Optic Neuropathy Compared to Glaucoma by Projection-Resolved Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography

To compare macular vasculature in patients with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) and atrophic nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION). Prospective, cross-sectional study. Thirty-seven eyes with moderate and advanced POAG, 19 eyes with atrophic NAION, and 40 eyes of normal subjects were imaged using optical coherence tomography angiography (OCT-A). Macular ganglion cell complex (GCC) and peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thicknesses were measured in addition to macular superficial and deep vasculature after projection removal using custom software. Linear models showed that while averaged peripapillary RNFL and macular GCC were not different between NAION and POAG eyes, both were significantly thinner than control eyes. Whole image macular superficial vessel density was significantly lower in NAION and glaucoma eyes (P= .003 and <.001, respectively) than in normal eyes, with lower vessel density in glaucoma than in NAION eyes (P= .01). Whole image and parafoveal deep macular vessels in glaucoma eyes (21.0%±8.7%, 24.4%±9.6%) were significantly lower than in control eyes (27.4%±8.6%, 31.9%±10.6%) (P= .01 and P= .01, respectively). No significant differences in deep vessels were observed between NAION and control eyes. Glaucomatous eyes had lower temporal and inferior parafoveal deep vasculature values than NAION eyes (P= .007 and .03, respectively). In NAION and POAG with similar RNFL and macular damage, macular OCT-A shows less involvement of superficial and deep vascular plexus in NAION in contrast to POAG, which might show a primary vascular insult in addition to secondary vascular damage due to ganglion cell damage.

Topographic Analysis of the Choriocapillaris in Intermediate Age-related Macular Degeneration

To quantitate regional differences in the choriocapillaris (CC) of patients with intermediate age-related macular degeneration (iAMD), using swept-source optical coherence tomography angiography (SS-OCTA) imaging. Cross-sectional study. Subjects were imaged with the SS-OCTA system (PLEX Elite 9000, Carl Zeiss Meditec Inc, Dublin, California, USA). The CC en face images were first compensated for the signal attenuation caused by drusen by using the structural information from the same slab. Subsequently, for each eye, 2 compensated CC en face images generated from 2 different OCTA volume scan sets were registered and averaged. The averaged CC images were then exported to ImageJ and binarized for subsequent quantitative analysis. In addition to the analysis of the whole averaged CC en face image in iAMD eyes, quantitative analysis was also performed in 3 different regions: (1) drusen region, (2) 150-μm-wide ring around the drusen border, and (3) drusen-free region. Thirty eyes (30 patients) with iAMD and 30 healthy eyes from 30 controls were enrolled. Compared with controls, iAMD eyes displayed a lower number of signal voids (median and interquartile range [IQR]: 2561 and 2343-2746 vs 2734 and 2558-2834; P= .013), agreater signal void average size (median, IQR: 581.9μm2, 466.1-726.9μm2 vs 503.8μm2, 429.1-576.8μm2; P= .027), and a greater total signal void area (median, IQR: 26.0%, 22.1%-29.6% vs 23.8%, 21.2%-26.4%; P= .038). In multiple regression analysis, the presence of iAMD was not significantly associated with any of the CC variables. By contrast, the drusen region area was significantly associated with CC alterations. In the evaluation of the iAMD group, both the area underneath drusen and the 150-μm-wide ring region around drusen were characterized by an increased total signal void area (P= .005 and P= .045, respectively) vs the drusen-free region. Intermediate AMD eyes demonstrated increased CC flow impairment, which co-localizes to thearea of CC beneath and immediately surrounding drusen.

Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography in Optic Disc Swelling

To compare optical coherence tomography angiography (OCT-A) of peripapillary total vasculature and capillaries in patients with optic disc swelling. Cross-sectional study. Twenty nine eyes with acute nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION), 44 eyes with papilledema, 8 eyes with acute optic neuritis, and 48 eyes of normal subjects were imaged using OCT-A. Peripapillary total vasculature information was recorded using a commercial vessel density map. Customized image analysis with major vessel removal was also used to measure whole-image capillary density and peripapillary capillary density (PCD). Mixed models showed that the peripapillary total vasculature density values were significantly lower in NAION eyes, followed by papilledema eyes and control eyes, using commercial software (P < .0001 for all comparisons). The customized software also showed significantly lower PCD of NAION eyes compared with papilledema eyes (all P < .001), but did not show significant differences between papilledema and control subjects. Our software showed significantly lower whole image and PCD in eyes with optic neuritis than papilledema. There was no significant difference between NAION and optic neuritis using our software. The area under the receiver operating curves for discriminating NAION from papilledema eyes and optic neuritis from papilledema eyes was highest for whole-image capillary density (0.94 and 0.80, respectively) with our software, followed by peripapillary total vasculature (0.9 and 0.74, respectively) with commercial software. OCT-A is helpful to distinguish NAION and papillitis from papilledema. Whole-image capillary density had the greatest diagnostic accuracy for differentiating disc swelling.

Минимизация репутационного ущерба при аварии на газотранспортной системе с использованием умных контрактов и технологий интеграции SAP (на примере ПАО «Газпром»).

In this paper an integrated approach to a problem related to minimization of gas supplier’s reputation losses connected with accidents on a gas pipeline and disruption of gas delivery to a consumer with the help of smart contracts is stated. Nowadays analysts and methodologists of pipeline companies perform assessment of expected and actual material expenses at an accident on GTS objects. Account and analytics of reputation losses either isn’t conducted in all, or is implemented in the frame of separate business processes which aren’t integrated into processes of enterprise budget’s management and planning. Such situation is disconcertingly. In the era of globalization the cost of a company and its business reputation depends significantly on the attitude towards it in society. In Europe and USA the major oil and gas companies invest huge money in increasing of their positive image in the eyes of population. Any significant accident which has happened in unforeseen time and unsuccessful place can completely destroy reputation of any company. Modern corporate IT-decisions allow unite a number of data flows in the uniform analytical module now. Information collected in such modules in Gazprom PJSC helps to solve optimizing problems both within planning of material inputs, and within accounting of reputation expenses. In this work a theoretical model for assessment of reputation losses at an accident on a linear part of a gas transmission system (GTS) of Gazprom PJSC is given. Modern theoretical models for definition of function of supplier’s reputation losses have been used. The review of possible application for SAP decisions and Blockchain technology in current business processes of Gazprom JSC in the frame of the problem solution is given. For a clear understanding how to integrate this decision into existing business processes the graphic description of the decision work scheme is given. The principles of this approach can be applied not only in working processes of Gazprom PJSC, but also adapted according to other pipeline companies’ needs. Possible fast introduction of cryptoruble in Russia can offer new prospects for mass introduction of this tool in the context of smart contracts.

Evaluation of the filtering bleb and its relation to an intrascleral aqueous drainage route after trabeculectomy using ultrasound biomicroscopy

Purpose The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between filtering bleb parameters (height, extent) and the wideness of the aqueous drainage route beneath the scleral flap using ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) in patients who have undergone trabeculectomy with and without mitomycin-C (MMC).Design This was a prospective interventional observation uncontrolled study.Patients and methods A total of 30 patients undergoing 30 glaucoma filtering surgeries were assessed for at least 6 months using UBM to evaluate the bleb reflectivity, the visibility of the route under the scleral flap, the bleb height, and the extent in correlation with the mean intraocular pressure. Patients were divided into two groups: group A included 15 eyes in which trabeculectomy was performed without MMC and group B included 15 eyes in which trabeculectomy was performed with MMC (0.4%) applied for 2 min.Results The reflectivity inside the filtering bleb showed a significant correlation with the maximal width of the aqueous drainage route and the maximal height and the extent of the bleb. Furthermore, the bleb function was significantly associated with its UBM image in eyes trabeculectomized with adjunctive MMC.Conclusion The study concluded that the internal structure of the bleb can be a more sensitive predictor of the outcome of filtering surgery.

ОБРАЗ ВАРВАРА-КОЧОВИКА У РАННЬОВІЗАНТІЙСЬКИХ ГРЕЦЬКИХ ТЕКСТАХ

The article describes the image of nomads in the writings of the early medieval Roman and Byzantine authors. It focuses on the Huns and Avars, who attacked the provinces of the empire as well as the Turks, who had established diplomatic relations with the Byzantine Empire in the 5th century. The Roman reception of the alien and little-known nomadic civilization has been analyzed. It is stated that the Byzantines were almost unfamiliar with the way of life, religious beliefs and exterior appearance of the eastern barbarians. That is why most of the early data was based on the legendary sources. After the diplomatic relations had been established the information flow increased sufficiently. However the attitude to the alien cultures remained hostile. This disrespect is visible in the works of almost all the early Byzantine authors. It reflects the state of public opinion which was based on the entirely different mindset and the way of life than that of the nomadic peoples. It should be noted that the barbarians themselves actively encouraged their negative image in the Roman eyes by carrying out their marauding raids on the imperial provinces, their violation of treaties, absence of loyalty etc. In conclusion it is stated that the problem of nomadic and sedentary societies’ interaction stretches back to the ancient times. The territory of the present day Ukraine for a long period of time was the place where the cultural interaction between the nomadic and sedentary peoples took place. In this vein, this problem remains very important and relevant for our understanding of the ethnic, political and cultural history of the Eastern Europe.

Symeon I Wielki – pół Grek? Kilka uwag na temat znaczenia terminu ‘emiargos’ (Liutprand z Kremony, „Antapodosis”, III, 29)

Byzantines were well aware that Symeon I, Bulgarian sovereign (893–927), was an educated man, deeply rooted in his own culture and not devoid of the knowledge of their world. Such awarness is an undertone of the letters by Nicholas the Mysticus, and was the most emphatically expressed – as the majority of scholars assume – by Liutprand of Cremona. The latter, in his Antapodosis , called Symeon an emiargos , which is supposed to mean semigrecus , ‘a half-Greek.’ However, this meaning is far from established. Michele Bandini has recently suggested that the word may have been a corrupt Latin version of ἡμίeργος , ‘half-developed, unfinished,’ being a negative description of the tsar of Bulgaria. Nevertheless, if one accepts M. Bandini’s idea or assumes the traditional understanding of emiargos as semigrecus , it should be noted that the term should not be understood as an expression of recognition, but rather as Irony, acerbity or even hostility. This interpretation matches far more accurately the overall perception of Symeon’s image in the Byzantine eyes, yet, by no means does it change the present assessment of his accomplishments and legacy.

Evidence for Delayed Presbyopia after Photorefractive Keratectomy for Myopia

To evaluate uncorrected near visual acuity (NVA), accommodation, corneal aberrations, and the optical quality of the retinal image in presbyopic eyes after photorefractive keratectomy (PRK). Nonrandomized comparative retrospective study. Ten post-PRK patients and 10 normal patients. Twenty eyes (10 right and 10 left after PRK for myopia, minimum of 10 years after the operation; group A) were compared with 20 eyes (10 right and 10 left age- and gender-matched normal controls; group B). All subjects were over 40 years of age. With best distance correction, NVA was measured at 40 cm (Jaeger, J series), and the range of accommodation (diopters [D]) was measured subjectively (negative relative amplitude and positive relative amplitude). The modulation transfer function (MTF) and corneal aberrations such as comalike, spherical (SAs), and higher order (HOAs) were measured with a Hartmann-Shack aberrometer. From the MTF curves, the spatial frequencies corresponding to contrast values of 0.1 and 0.5 were noted. Mean ages (+/- standard deviations [SDs]) were 46.3 years (4.7) for group A and 47.6 years (4.9) for group B (P>0.05). Near acuity was J1 or better in 12 of 20 post-PRK and 4 of 20 control eyes. Mean accommodations (+/- SDs) were 3.2 D (1.14) for right group A eyes and 2.1 D (0.94) for right group B eyes (P = 0.0152), and 3.4 D (0.99) for left A eyes and 2.3 D (1.02) for left B eyes (P = 0.0168). Total HOA indexes (+/- SDs) were 1.449 (0.409) for right group A eyes and 0.824 (0.241) for right group B eyes (P = 0.008), and 1.464 (0.388) for left A eyes and 1.067 (0.542) for left B eyes (P = 0.0752). Pooling the data from post-PRK and control eyes, a significant correlation was found between near acuity and SA (right eyes, r = -0.535, P = 0.015; left eyes, r = -0.493, P = 0.027). Significant associations were found between accommodation, near acuity, HOA, and comalike aberration for right eyes only. Mean spatial frequencies (+/- SDs) corresponding to contrast values of 0.1 for right and left eyes were 14.96 (5.71) for right group A eyes and 22.02 (6.85) for right group B eyes (P = 0.074), and 15.11 (7.80) for left A eyes and 21.41 (9.00) for left B eyes (P = 0.271). Mean spatial frequencies (+/- SDs) corresponding to contrast values of 0.5 for right and left eyes were 2.86 (0.63) for right group A eyes and 3.21 (0.35) for right group B eyes (P = 0.596), and 2.76 (0.98) for left A eyes and 3.22 (0.27) for left B eyes (P = 0.194). Compared with normal eyes, in previously myopic eyes treated with first-generation PRK lasers there is a tendency for (1) the optical quality of the retinal image to be reduced at low contrast, (2) the aberrations attributed to the corneal surface to increase, and (3) both measured subjective accommodation and near acuity to be greater than expected. We postulate that the corneal aberrations induced by PRK for myopia may reduce the quality of the retinal image for distance but enhance near acuity by way of a multifocal effect that can delay the onset of age-related near vision symptoms.

Americans first: Chinese Americans and the Second World War

World War II was a watershed event for many of America's minorities, but its impact on Chinese Americans has been largely ignored. Utilizing extensive archival research as well as oral histories and letters from over one hundred informants, K. Scott Wong explores how Chinese Americans carved a newly respected and secure place for themselves in American society during the war years. Long the victims of racial prejudice and discriminatory immigration practices, Chinese Americans struggled to transform their image in the nation's eyes. As Americans racialized the Japanese enemy abroad and interned Japanese Americans at home, Chinese citizens sought to distinguish themselves by venturing beyond the confines of Chinatown to join the military and various defense industries in record numbers. Wong offers the first in-depth account of Chinese Americans in the American military, tracing the history of the 14th Air Service Group, a segregated unit comprising over 1,200 men, and examining how their was service contributed to their social mobility and the shaping of their ethnic identity. Americans First pays tribute to a generation of young men and women who, torn between loyalties to their parents' traditions and their growing identification with America and tormented by the pervasive racism of wartime America, served their country with patriotism and courage. Consciously developing their image as a model minority, often at the expense of the Japanese and Japanese Americans, Chinese Americans created the pervasive image of Asian Americans that still resonates today.

Wavefront Analysis and the Simulation of the Retinal Image in the Human Eyes

An Ultrasound Biomicroscopic Study of Filtering Blebs after Mitomycm C Trabeculectomy

Purposes: To investigate the relation between filtering bleb function and ultrasound biomicroscopic images, and to establish a new classification system for filtering blebs according to these images.Methods: After trabeculectomy with mitomycin C, the filtering blebs of 117 eyes from 117 patients with various types of glaucoma were examined using ultrasound biomicroscopy. Four parameters of the images—intrableb reflectivity, visibility of the route under the scleral flap, formation of a cavernous fluid-filled space, and bleb height—were correlated with the level of intraocular pressure (IOP).Results: Reflectivity inside the bleb and visibility of a route under the scleral flap were highly associated with IOP control. Blebs were classified into four categories according to the four measured parameters: type L (low-reflective), type H (high-reflective), type E (encapsulated), and type F (flattened). Eyes with good IOP control had mainly type L blebs. Type E and type F blebs were seen mostly in eyes requiring additional medication.Conclusion: The structure inside a filtering bleb is visible by ultrasound biomicroscopy, and bleb function is significantly associated with its ultrasound biomicroscopic image in eyes trabeculectomized with adjunctive mitomycin C.

The structure of a hospital's image.

The study is intended to elucidate the factors that affect the creation of a hospital's image in the eyes of the patient and their relative weight in producing that image. The image of a hospital is important for enhancing the patient's reassurance and relief from possible anxiety that is hazardous to the health, which may result both from the patient's subjectively perceived seriousness of his condition and from his inability to judge the efficacy of the medical treatment in promoting recovery. A study was carried out among a representative sample of expatients of one of Israel's most prestigious university hospitals. Data ascertain the centrality of the physicians' and nurses' affective behavior in the creation of the image. They also show that the crucial factors that predict that image in the patient's eyes are the nurses' affective behavior and the hospital's perceived competence level, which is based predominantly on the patient's satisfaction with the medical treatment given by the physicians. That, in turn, is, to a great extent, predicted by the extent of satisfaction with the physicians' humane attitude toward the patient.
