Design and development of coastal marine water quality monitoring based on IoT in achieving implementation of SDGs

Indonesia, an archipelagic nation with about 70% ocean territory, relies on oceanographic data for efficient marine environment monitoring and natural resource sustainability. Current data collection is limited by tools measuring only single parameters and lengthy data collection times. This study proposes a marine coastal water quality monitoring tool based on the internet of things (IoT), capable of simultaneously measuring temperature, electrical conductivity, pH, and dissolved oxygen. Utilizing an Atmega328 and a battery lasting up to 119 hours, this system offers a cost-effective solution for real-time oceanographic data collection. Employing the ADDIE methodology, the results demonstrate high measurement accuracy compared to traditional methods, with accuracy of 90.5% for temperature, 93.50% for electrical conductivity, 93.67% for pH, and 96.82% for dissolved oxygen. The development of this tool aims to reduce costs and labor in capturing oceanographic data integrated with IoT, facilitate access and monitoring of water data, and make a significant contribution to achieving SDGs targets. The main focus on the goals of addressing climate change and life underwater, especially in the aspects of water resources management and protection of marine ecosystems in Indonesian.

Can enterprise ESG practices ease their financing constraints? Evidence from Chinese listed companies

Under the guidance of the United Nations SDGs target framework, enterprises' ESG practices of developed countries can effectively promote external investors' ESG investment, thus easing enterprises' financing constraints. Using the data of Chinese A-share listed companies in the Shanghai- and Shenzhen-stock exchange markets from 2013 to 2022, this study explores the causal relationship between enterprises' ESG practices and their financing constraints to provide Chinese experience, examines the mediating effect with corporate transparency and investor sentiment, and analyzes the heterogeneity with external auditor type and earnings management motivation. It is found that enterprise ESG practices can enhance their financing ability by improving corporate transparency and suppressing investor sentiment; for the non-Big 4 audit listed companies and the listed companies with the weak motivation of earnings management, the corporate ESG practice has a more significant effect on their financing ability. This study enriches the research on the relationship between ESG practice and ESG financing by providing Chinese evidence.

The Evolution of Learning Transfer and Training Development in Achieving Sustainable Human Resource Management: A Bibliometric Review

This research analyzes the evolution of learning transfer and training development in achieving sustainable human resource management (SHRM), an important part of achieving the 2030 SDGs target. The analysis was completed using a bibliometric review method of 161 articles in the Scopus database. The findings show that 454 authors from various developed and developing countries have contributed to this topic. Research on learning transfer and training development started in 1992 and continues to grow, but it was initially focused on achieving organizational performance. There is a shift in the purpose of learning transfer and training development which is now focused on achieving SHRM (HRM on financial, social, environmental, and organization) characterized by the keywords "natural resource management", "mental health", "healthcare", "female", which shows the importance of learning transfer and training development in achieving SDGs 3 (mental and well-being) and SDGs 4 (gender equality), as well as maintaining a balance of production and consumption through managing natural resources relevant to SDGs 12 and 13. Learning and training in the environmental aspect are interesting to research, indicated by the highest citation achievement in green human resource and green training articles with 184 citations. Learning transfer and training development also focus on technology training, such as cybersecurity and blockchain training. Furthermore, general topics such as learning and training to improve innovation, job satisfaction and organizational culture are still discussed.

Indonesia is located in the ring of fire region. This condition causes Indonesia to have the potential to experience various disasters, such as volcano eruptions. In addition, rapid population growth has led to rampant land conversions that cause floods, landslides, tornadoes, droughts, and forest fires. The research aims to map natural disasters in Indonesia, especially Java Island to find out the provinces and their natural disasters tendency using Biplot analysis. Based on the results, Central Java, East Java, and West Java have a tendency to have floods and landslides. East Java tends to undergo earthquakes and Central Java has the potential to experience volcano eruptions. Through the natural disasters mapping, the government, especially the BMKG, will be able to find various solutions to overcome the natural disasters that have great potential to occur in provinces in Indonesia, especially Java Island as the manifestation toward SDGs Target 2030.

Smallholder palm oil and sustainable development goals (SDGs) achievement: An empirical analysis

This paper is aimed at examining and analyzing the contribution of palm oil smallholders to the achievement of the SDGs. Another objective is to determine the highest SDGs that contribute to the achievement of SDGs by examining 13 SDGs out of 17 SDGs analyzed using Principal Component Analysis (PCA) to estimate composite SDGs index. The survey was conducted in 7 provinces in Indonesia which are oil palm centers in Indonesia. Data was obtained from interviews with 3060 smallholder oil palm farmers divided into 3 strata based on the area of oil palm land owned. The results showed that the SDG composite index of smallholders reached 77.57 %, which informed that smallholder oil palm had reached 77.57 % of the 2030 SDGS target. This achievement is greater than the national achievement which reached 70.16 %. Of the 13 SDGs analyzed, SDG17 achieved the weakest followed by SDG5. While the highest achievement was obtained by SDG1 which was followed by SDG6 and SDG8. In the future, more comprehensive cross-sectoral research related to the achievement of SDGs, especially related to the impact of government policy interventions on the achievement of SDGs.

Factors Determining of Carbon Emissions Voluntary Disclosure in Indonesia’s Energy Sector Companies

Reporting information on carbon emission from company operations is a form of social and environmental responsibility that contributes to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions to achieve the SDGs target by 2030. This carbon-related reporting is the role of accountants through carbon accounting as a form of transparency and accountability, as well as an effort to reduce GHGs emissions produced by companies. This research is intended to see how energy sector companies implement voluntary disclosure of carbon emissions with several determinants which is reflected in the company size scale, the exposure carried out by companies in the company’s website media, and shareholding owned by institutions. The research population is in energy sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during 2018-2022. Samples of this research used purposive sampling, so that 50 observational data were obtained consisting of 10 energy sector companies in 5 years period. Result show that media exposure influences carbon emission disclosure. Companies that present media exposure have an increase in the carbon emission disclosure level. Meanwhile, firm size and institutional ownership have no influence on the carbon emission disclosure. A company with a large size scale and high institutional shareholding does not guarantee that it will report information of carbon emission thoroughly.

COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF PLASTIC WASTE MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES: A Case Study Of Indonesia And Malaysia 2018-2023

The problem of plastic waste is profound in every country in the world. This is because plastic is the most widely produced material and is difficult to degrade in the environment. Indonesia and Malaysia are countries that have serious plastic waste problems. Indonesia and Malaysia are the top five countries producing plastic waste in Southeast Asia (Arumdani, Puspita, & Budiharjo, 2021). This is what the Indonesian and Malaysian governments are concentrating on to resolve environmental pollution due to the ever-increasing volume of plastic waste. This journal uses a comparative study to compare the efforts of Indonesia and Malaysia in dealing with the plastic waste problem. To solve the plastic waste problem, the Indonesian government has established several regulations and programs to meet the SDGs targets. The Malaysian government also implemented regulations and behavioural changes to reduce plastic waste, which aligns with the Basel Convention, which regulates hazardous wastes, including plastic waste. Facing almost similar problems, Indonesia and Malaysia continue to strive to solve the plastic waste problem by following the priorities and targets of their respective countries.

Journalism Education and Sustainable Journalism in Ghana

ABSTRACT Despite a decentralised planning system for a multi-stakeholder approach in implementing the SDGs and numerous efforts towards attaining Agenda 2030, Ghana's progress is not at the rate required to achieve the SDGs targets by 2030. One of the reasons for slow progress is because less consideration is given to the role of professional journalism in sustainable development. This study is on the premise that education in sustainable journalism is central to attaining Agenda 2030. As a result, it seeks to investigate how journalism education in Ghana equips students with education for sustainable journalism. Using a qualitative approach and case study design, multiple methods (document analysis, FGD and interviews) are used to gather data to establish how sustainable journalism is integrated into the Ghanaian journalism curriculum. Thematic analysis of data through the lens of the curriculum framework for SDGs established that, to an extent, sustainable journalism is part of the curriculum even though it is not expressly taught as a stand-alone course. Therefore, there was unanimous support for the modification and inclusion of sustainable journalism into the existing curriculum.

Systematic Review on Factors Associated with Female Age at Marriage

Background: Female age at marriage is one of the major indicators of population dynamics associated with age at which marriable couples are united and simultaneously acts of giving new childbirth with new family roles. Occurrence of marriage before the body being physically fit and mentally matured results in many adverse consequences. However, less attentions have been given to the variability of female age at marriage which can be influenced by different factors. Objective: This review paper is an attempt to explore significant factors associated with female age at marriage, and to mark those factors as explained by model-based statistical effect size. Materials and Methods: Following the PRISMA- Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis guideline, three databases EMBASE, PubMed and Scopus were used to identify relevant articles combining key search terms using Boolean operations. From these databases, a total of 605 eligible articles originally published in English language till the date of 20 November, 2023 were identified. Applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria only 17 papers which had used statistical models were ascertained for final review. Results: The effect size which was found significant at 0.05 level of significance explored that female’s education, place of residence, religion, caste/ethnicity, birth cohort, current age, female’s work status, type of occupation, wealth index, husband’s education are the major determinants, which are observed to be significantly associated with female age at marriage. Conclusion: Female age at marriage is found to be varied from place to place, region to region and country to country. As the level of education increased, the possibility of acquiring early age at marriage has been reduced significantly. The demographic, socio-economic, gender and community factors played significant roles at the timing of females age at marriages. Moreover, female age at marriage has a considerable impact on fertility measures and population structure. Hence, policy relating to improving female age at marriage and its associated effective enforcement of law are required to meet the SDGs targets.

Waqf Development Model for SDG-16 (Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions)

Waqf-based development is in line with the goals of the SDGs. Waqf institutions play an important role in actualizing the SDGs targets including point 16 which is peace, justice and strong institutions. This study aims to design and propose a waqf model for SDGs point 16 peace, justice, and strong institutions in the world by combining the concept of waqf with the activities of related institutions. This research proposes that the best waqf-SDGs model for point 16 is the integrated Waqf & ZIS model. This model is a type of waqf that is social in nature, where waqf is collaborated with ZIS instruments. So that the utilization of this instrument is suitable for social purposes. The implementation of the waqf models that have been proposed with their respective priorities can potentially become an Islamic social fund instrument that participates in supporting the SDGs to ensure that all humans can enjoy a prosperous life and advance economically, socially, and technologically in harmony with nature.

Analysis Determinants of Neonatal Death in Indonesia (2017 IDHS Data Analysis)

The results of the Indonesian Health Demographic Survey show that AKN in Indonesia reached 15 per 1000 live births in 2017, this figure still has not reached the SDGs target of less than 12 per 1000 live births. The samples in this study were all samples of the 2017 IDHS that met the criteria totaling 79,710 samples. The results univariate analysis found that the proportion of infants experiencing neonatal death was 2.83%. In the bivariate analysis, it was found that the related variables were ANC (p 0.000 and OR = 3.91), place of delivery (p 0.000 and OR = 2.07), LBW (p 0.000 and OR = 4.20), low maternal education (p 0.000 and OR = 2.95), consuming iron (p 0.000 and OR = 3.61). It is hoped that health workers in Indonesia can invite pregnant women to do complete antenatal care, in order to avoid risk factors for neonatal death.

ELDERLY AND HEALTH INSURANCE COVERAGE IN INDONESIA

Ensuring quality health coverage for all, especially for older people, is one of the SDGs goals to be achieved. Goal 3 with target 3.8 on universal health coverage (UHC), emphasizes the importance of all people having access to quality health services without the risk of financial hardship. This study aimed to determine the coverage of the National Health Insurance (NHI) and factors related to the ownership of NHI among elderly people in Indonesia. Data from the 2020 National Socio-Economic Survey was used to analyze 121,961 elderly people aged 60 years and above across all provinces in Indonesia. The variables studied included socio-demographic variables, economic status, and health status of the elderly. A chi-square test and binary logistic regression analysis was used to determine the relationship between NHI ownership status and the independent variables. The results showed that most of the elderly were aged 60-69 years, had low education, and lived in rural areas. NHI coverage for the elderly in Indonesia is already good, although there are still high disparities in some regions. The result of logistic regression analysis showed that the NHI ownership status of the elderly has a significant relationship with age, place of residence, education level, and wealth status. Efforts to expand the reach of NHI for the elderly should be increased as one of the strategies in realizing the SDGs targets.

Role and Effectiveness of the Ciletuh-Palabuhanratu Geopark in Acceleration Achievement of Sustainable Development Goals Pillars of Economic Development

Geoparks are developed areas for sustainable development, both from social, economic, and environmental aspects. The Ciletuh-Palabuhanratu Geopark, Sukabumi Regency, West Java Province, which has been recognized as a UNESCO Global Geopark, is believed to be able to contribute to building the local community's economy with the geotourism activities it offers. It is hoped that improving the local economy will help improve the quality and welfare of people's lives. It will accelerate the achievement of SDGs targets in the pillars of economic development, especially SDGs 8. This research aims to analyze the role and effectiveness of the Ciletuh-Palabuhanratu Geopark as an agent for accelerating the achievement of SDG 8. The method used is a combined method, statistical descriptive and qualitative with structured interviews with business actors and tourism community members. The research results show that three indicators have been achieved: increasing the number of tourists, workers, and industrial linkages, but sub-indicators in industrial linkages, namely restaurants and travel services, have yet to be maximized. In general, the Geopark has been proven to function as a means of contributing to the achievement of SDG 8. Still, it requires particular strategies to increase growth in economic sub-indicators to achieve the SDG 8.

Economic Pillar Conditions Mapping in the Tomini Bay Area using SDGs Indicators

Comprehensive baseline data on economic conditions are required to support efforts to develop the Tomini Bay region's economy as a priority for rural areas. In order to find solutions for growing the rural economy in the Tomini Bay region, academics must do practical research and development without data mapping. The goal of this study is to map and forecast how well the SDGs targets—particularly the economic pillars of goal 17—will be met in the Tomini Bay region. Secondary data from the BPS is used in this study's quantitative descriptive methodology. The projection methods of logarithmic, exponential, and linear were used to assess the data. Additionally, the expected outcomes of the TPB/SDG indicators are contrasted with worldwide targets and targets based on Presidential Regulation No. 11 of 2022 as an indicator to determine the achievement of the TPB/SDGs aims. The study's findings indicate that the Tomini Bay region's projected and average SDGs indicators are still far from the desired level. It is advised that regions whose anticipated accomplishments fall short of the desired level be supported through local government intervention programs, such as enlarging the local tax base and intensifying and extending regional taxes and levies.
