Institutional Management of Mangrove Ecosystems on Small Islands to Support Sustainable Utilization

Introduction: Tanakeke Island is one of the small islands in Indonesia that features mangrove ecosystems. In the 1980s, the area of mangroves on Tanakeke Island was approximately 1,770 hectares. However, between the 1980s and the 2000s, the mangroves were reduced by 60 percent due to uncontrolled exploitation and environmental changes. This paper aims to analyze the institutional linkages related to the current management of the mangrove ecosystem on Tanakeke Island and its impact on the sustainability of mangrove utilization. Research Methods: The analysis utilizes the concept of the dynamics of institutional resource management development (Ostrom, 1990) to assess the state of institutional management of the mangrove ecosystem and its relationship to sustainable use. Results: At the time of this research, Tanakeke Island had established rules governing mangrove utilization and rehabilitation activities. The mapping results indicate that the mangrove ecosystem management institutions on Tanakeke Island are currently in an “institutional self-governing period,” as defined by Ostrom (1990) framework for the dynamic development of natural resource institutions. Conclusion: The findings suggest that these management institutions are progressing toward self-governance, as they have demonstrated the ability to manage mangrove resources independently. At the time of this research, the institutions responsible for managing the mangrove ecosystem on Tanakeke Island support the sustainable utilization of mangroves.

Social forestry is a program designed to address tenure conflicts, improve community welfare, and enhance environmental quality. Achieving the objectives of social forestry is not only limited to obtaining permits but needs more advanced, concrete, innovative business development that anticipates future challenges and prospects. Therefore, this research aimed to analyze West Sumatra Governor Regulation No. 52/2018 on the Implementation of Social Forestry Facilitation and its practical application in Hutan Nagari Salibutan. Data collection in this research included in-depth interviews and a literature review, while data analysis used descriptive qualitative methods, content analysis, and policy implementation. The results showed that Governor Regulation of West Sumatra No. 52/2018 supported national policy by accelerating social forestry, resolving tenure conflicts, and synchronizing the roles of various stakeholders. This Governor Regulation served as the technical reference in the field, and it comprised facilitation, institutionalization, monitoring and evaluation, and financing. Additionally, the implementation of regulations in Salibutan Nagari Forest correlated with these provisions, as evidenced by the activities carried out by the Forestry Service and the social forestry acceleration working group in collaboration with the Nagari Salibutan forest management institution. The consistency between the regulation's content and field implementation reflected this correlation.

Implementation of PSAK 109 Concerning Financial Reporting of Zakat, Donation/Charity Accounting at BAZNAS

The main factor causing the failure to achieve the potential for receiving zakat, infaq and alms in zakat management institutions is the lack of public trust in the management institutions, so that guidelines for preparing financial reports are needed, namely PSAK No. 109 concerning accounting for zakat, infaq/alms. The purpose of this study is to reconstruct the financial report of zakat, infak/alms at the National Zakat Agency (BAZNAS), which can then be seen how the financial report is made by BAZNAS. This study uses a descriptive method which is carried out through observation, data collection and direct interviews with the Head of BAZNAS. This study is intended to look at the concepts of recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure that occur at the National Zakat Agency, and to provide an overview of the financial report of zakat, infak/alms, which then analyzes the conformity of the financial report of zakat, infak/alms at BAZNAS with the applicable standards, namely PSAK No. 109. The results of this study indicate that transparency and accountability in the financial reports of zakat, infak/alms at BAZNAS have been carried out and analyzed based on PSAK No. 109, which consists of five components of financial reports, namely, financial position report, fund change report, managed asset change report, cash flow report, and notes to the financial reports. The National Zakat Agency has been proven to have carried out the bookkeeping process in accordance with the accounting concept in PSAK Number 109 in terms of recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure.

Cost-reduction Analysis of Percutaneous Pinning of Hand Fractures in an Outpatient Clinic

Background: The University of Sherbrooke's Hospital Center operating room has been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, prompting surgeons to seek alternative ways to treat acute injuries requiring surgery. In the spring of 2020, we began performing percutaneous pinning of hand fractures in our outpatient clinic. We aimed to estimate the savings in 2021 by transferring these procedures from the operating room to the outpatient clinic. Methods: We identified all patients with hand injuries who received percutaneous pinning in 2021 using billing codes. Only patients treated in the outpatient clinic were included. We estimated the cost of hand fracture fixation in the operating room by considering the anesthesiologist's fee, the hospital's hourly rate for a 1-hour surgery (including a respiratory therapist, 2 nurses, and equipment) and salary bonuses for unfavorable hours, subtracting the cost difference of outpatient equipment. Results: We identified 114 patients treated with percutaneous pinning, of whom 93 were included in our study. Our calculations showed a total cost reduction of CAD $55,789 in 2021. Conclusions: Percutaneous pinning of hand fractures in an outpatient setting resulted in a yearly cost reduction of more than CAD $55,000. Investing in ambulatory care for hand fracture management benefits both patients and institutions.

Democratic deficit and underdevelopment in Nigeria: a qualitative study of the 2023 Presidential Elections

Discontentment with democracy in West Africa centres on abuse of power and political corruption. In Nigeria, dissatisfaction lies not just with these but also with insecurity, economic recession and the electoral process – a system fraught with complications, controversies and contradictions. Using the political economy of elections as its theoretical framework together with mixed research methods, this paper interrogates the relationship between Nigeria’s democratic culture and the 2023 presidential elections. Here I present a politicised electoral management institution, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). Its performance is shaped, not by legislative instruments and constitutional guidelines, but by a dysfunctional democratic culture that reflects the extent to which ethnicised politics, class, institutionalised loyalty and money politics determine election results and Nigeria’s version of democracy. Although fragile and prebendal, democracy continues to consolidate amidst delayed development. The paper recommends increased media advocacy for reform.

An Integrated Circular Supply Chain Framework to Enhance Malaysian Business Performance

Businesses rely on supply chain management to suit the needs of global and multigenerational consumers. However, the current linear manufacturing and distribution supply chain strategy has been regarded as the source of dangerous waste generation, environmental deterioration, and the global warming phenomenon. In mitigating this issue, circular supply chain management, a practical integration model, is seen as the solution as it helps to reduce material flows and supply chain waste. Unfortunately, the fundamental mechanisms that can support its effective execution have not been comprehensively examined, hindering its complete incorporation into company strategy. Thus, to overcome this knowledge gap and improve organizational understanding, this study uses the systematic reviews and meta-analyses extension for scoping reviews (PRISMA-ScR) procedure to investigate the characteristics, enablers, and barriers of circular supply chain management. The study found five interconnected key structures: government, industry stakeholders, corporate management, end users, and financial institutions, all of which play important roles in the successful implementation of a circular supply chain strategy. As a result, close collaboration across the five identified stakeholders is essential to enable successful implementation. This study's objective is to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 8, 9, and 12, which aim to promote peace and prosperity for people and the planet both now and in the future.

Analysis of the structure and trend prediction of China's total health expenditure.

In the context of rapid economic and social development, there has been a continuous intensification of population aging, transformation of disease patterns, and wide application of new medical technologies. As a result, health expenditures in various countries have sharply soared. How to utilize limited medical resources to maximize the improvement of health levels has become a hot and challenging issue related to the well-being of all humanity. The relevant indicators of total health expenditure play a crucial role in monitoring and evaluating the fairness of health financing and health security in the region. This study explores the changes in the main expenses that constitute China's total health expenditure and uses indicators related to health expenditure to observe the changes and future development trends of China's health expenditure. Based on this, the utilization of China's health expenditure is monitored to identify possible problems, and thereby targeted suggestions for promoting the development of China's health and wellness cause are put forward. Based on the comparison of previous literature, this paper analyzes the changes and future development trends in China's health expenditure by using the relevant indicators of China's health expenditure through the structural variation analysis method and the gray prediction model. The results show that the scale of government, social, and out-of-pocket health expenditures has continuously expanded, with social health expenditures becoming the main funding source for total health expenditures. The burden of medical expenditures on individuals has been further reduced. In the institutional method of total health expenditures, hospital expenditures account for about 60% of the total and are the main component. The expenditures of health administration and medical insurance management institutions are the main driving force behind the growth of total health expenditures. However, the proportion of health expenditures in China's GDP is relatively low, so more investment is needed in the healthcare sector, and the burden of individual medical expenses also needs to be continuously reduced. In the future, China should further increase its investment in the medical and health sector. Specifically, the government should persist in investing in fundamental medical and health services. Simultaneously, efforts should be made to establish a scientific cost control mechanism for pharmaceuticals and broaden financing channels for healthcare, such as accelerating the development of commercial health insurance.

Sustainability Analysis of the Revolving Fund Program of the LPDB (Revolving Fund Management Institution): MICMAC Method Approach

The importance of access to credit for micro, small, and household craft enterprises, including cooperatives, has become a major focus in improving working capital financing and capital accumulation to support industrial income. The government through the LPDB (Revolving Fund Management Institution) has launched a revolving fund program that aims to strengthen the capital base of cooperatives, increase the capacity of human resources in business and financial management, and increase the role of cooperatives in expanding employment opportunities and reducing poverty. According to data from the Cooperative Business Development Division of the Denpasar City MSME Cooperative Office, from 2021 to 2023, there were five cooperatives that received the LPDB revolving fund program, but did not consistently reapply for the funds. This raises concerns regarding the sustainability of the program and the factors that influence it. This study aims to identify the factors that influence the sustainability of the LPDB program for cooperatives in Denpasar City. Using the MICMAC (Matrix of Cross Impact Multiplications Applied to a Classification) analysis method, this study reveals that the revolving fund administration requirements and members' information and knowledge about the revolving fund have the most significant direct influence. These findings underscore the importance of simplifying the administrative process and improving member knowledge to ensure the success of the program. In addition, active member participation emerged as an important predictor of program sustainability, highlighting the importance of members' direct involvement in supporting their economic activities. Thus using this method can uncover critical factors, and provide a comprehensive understanding that can inform policy adjustments and strategic implementation to improve program sustainability.

Optimisation of decision-making on risk management strategy for the hydromelioration systems in biosphere reserves

The field of nature conservation in Ukraine is currently experiencing a profound crisis. In light of the mounting risks to Ukraine’s ecosystems, it is of paramount importance that conservation planning incorporates risk management strategies. In the aftermath of the Chernobyl disaster, the management of water bodies in the Exclusion Zone assumed paramount importance, given that the rivers had become the primary conduit for the transportation of radioactive substances. It is therefore imperative to evaluate the risks and vulnerabilities of climate change on Ukraine’s most developed economic sectors, population, and natural ecosystems. This will facilitate comprehension of the prospective consequences of climate change, ascertain the extent of potential losses, and inform decision-making aimed at reducing or preventing such losses in a timely manner. One of the primary challenges facing specialists at the Chornobyl Radiation and Ecological Biosphere Reserve, in addition to other organisations and enterprises of the State Agency of Ukraine on Exclusion Zone Management and scientific institutions, is the assessment of the feasibility of hydromelioration systems. It is of the utmost importance that a scientifically sound methodological approach be employed in order to ensure the reliability and validity of the results obtained through the assessment of risks and vulnerabilities to climate change. In this context, the utilisation of adaptive methodologies is of paramount importance for the development of risk management strategies. One such methodology is the Methodology for Risk Analysis and Information Management for Strategic Ecosystems (MARISCO). This article considers the potential deployment of the MARISCO adaptive method as a universal methodology for the analysis of environmental issues, with a view to informing decision-making on risk management strategies in the Chornobyl Radiation and Ecological Biosphere Reserve.

Perceived Quality of Higher Educational Institutions in Maharashtra: Students Perspective

In recent times, Indian education system has seen an upsurge in post graduate management institutions due to growing demand of management discipline. Mere existence to function in the system will certainly not help the institutions in the long run. Service quality is often seen as a good competitive strategy that not only service organizations, but also educational institutions worldwide employ to increase their competitiveness in the tertiary sector. Hence, providing quality education is the need to be addressed here. Given a fact that students have become more informative and are exposed to different educational platforms, institutions are readily being at their disposal. The present study was carried out in Maharashtra, India where 26 Institutes from three regions Pune, Nagar and Nashik participated in the study. The objectives of study were to analyze students’ perception on the quality of higher education based on their demographic profile and impact of diverse educational background of students on perceived quality of education. SERVQUAL was used to collect the data. The collected data was analyzed using descriptive statistics viz chi-square eta and regression analysis. The results of the study revealed that students’ perception on the quality of higher education and their gender, graduation and region are independent. There is no impact of diverse educational background of students on perceived service quality of HEIs.

Arrangement of Coastal Area Management Institutions Bantul and Kulon Progo Regencies

The most dominant community activities are sand farming and tourism, while government intervention is in the form of infrastructure development, establishing conservation areas, protection, and tourism. The coastal areas of Bantul and Kulon Progo Regencies in DI Yogyakarta are naturally influenced by the supply of sand sedimentation from Mount Merapi, wind, and beach wave energy. However, this area has now become an area for agriculture, tourism, and other economic businesses, supported by various infrastructures. The condition shows that there is interpenetration of the ecological system by the social system and the development policy system. This research aims to organize coastal area management institutions as a result of interpenetration. The method used combines the social-ecological systems theory approach with social systems theory, which aims to get an overview of the dynamics of interpenetration. The research results show that interpenetration between the three systems occurs repeatedly and creates reciprocal symptoms. This research recommends that institutional governance be used as a middle way to reduce vulnerability, increase resilience, and strengthen sustainability. Institutional governance places the social system and development policy system as subjects, and the ecological system and the other two systems as objects.

Food Safety Analysis Based on Halal Food with The Use of Water as a Food Need in Indonesia

Halal food security in Indonesia is a complex issue viewed from a religious perspective, especially in water processing. This article examines the public's understanding of the water treatment process, whether halal or non-halal. This research also examines the risks from the views of people with this understanding. The method used uses a literature study consisting of several pieces of literature that are reviewed and analyzed descriptively to understand the existing problems properly. The results of this research answered this understanding with an analysis of environmental, technical, social, financial, security, and institutional risks, as well as a comparison with regulations and hadith. The water treatment process carried out by water management institutions follows the rules and is considered to duplicate natural processes, namely the water cycle. This perspective is also supported by several regulations in Indonesia, which indicate that food safety, especially water, can be adequately implemented. This study shows that there is always involvement between officeholders, service providers, and the community in maintaining the safety of water sources.

The Influence of ZIS Literacy and Trust on The Decision to Channel ZIS Through Digital Payment at LAZISMU in Makassar City

Zakat, Infaq, and Sadaqah (ZIS) not only constitute an obligation for Muslims but also play a crucial role as an alternative source of state financing, capable of stimulating economic activities and enhancing individual purchasing power. The distribution of ZIS acts as a balancing instrument in the financial economic sector of society, referred to as al-maliyah al-ijtima'iyah, which supports communal welfare. This study aims to examine the influence of ZIS literacy and trust levels on the use of digital payment methods for the distribution of ZIS. A quantitative approach is employed, with respondents comprising mustahik from Lazismu Makassar, as well as muzakki and munfiq who utilize digital payments. Data is gathered through questionnaires and analyzed using tests for convergent validity, discriminant validity, composite reliability, and structural model evaluation. The findings indicate that ZIS literacy has a positive and significant effect on the decision of muzakki and munfiq to channel ZIS through digital payments, with an original sample value of 0.325 and a P-value of 0.000. Trust is also found to have a positive and significant impact on the use of digital payment for ZIS distribution, with an original sample value of 0.647 and a P-value of 0.000. Both trust and ZIS literacy play essential roles in enhancing the use of digital payments, facilitating the distribution process, and strengthening the effectiveness of ZIS collection. The study concludes that improving ZIS literacy and trust in zakat management institutions can encourage more muzakki and munfiq to adopt digital payment methods, thereby supporting efficient ZIS management and maximizing the positive impact on community welfare.
