AN OVERVIEW OF GRDP SECTORS WITH LOCATION QUOTIENT ANALYSIS (CASE STUDY IN WEST ACEH DISTRICT AND ITS EXPANSION AREA: THE EXPANSION PERIOD TO COVID-19 PANDEMIC)

In the 90s it was announced that the North-East region of Aceh Province as an industrial zone and the Middle-Southeast and West-South areas as an agricultural zone. Likewise with the districts of West Aceh and its expansion areas (Districts of Aceh Jaya, District Nagan Raya, District Simeulue and Aceh Barat themselves). This study aims to analyze the basic sector in GRDP from 17 sectors available from the time of division untill pandemic Covid-19. The data used are secondary data obtained from BPS and Bappeda. The results of the LQ analysis from 2010-2019 show that in the first division area, namely Simeulue Regency, the highest LQ value is 1,51 in 2010 and 1,27 in 2016. Then Aceh Jaya District with the highest LQ 1.81 for construction sectors and agriculture sectors 1,18. Next, the Nagan Raya District with agriculture LQ 1,52 in 2016 and 1,36 in 2019. Furthermore, West Aceh had the lowest LQ 1.09 and continues to decline untill 2019 when covid-19 pandemic. The importance of the role of the government and local NGOs in increasing the value of this agricultural sector so that GDP increases

STRENGTHENING LOCAL GOVERNMENT POLICIES ON MALARIA HEALTH SERVICES

Introduction Malaria health services are an important aspect that requires more attention from the government. This study analysed the role of local governments in implementing health services and the relationship between local government programs and malaria cases. In 2019 - 2020 malaria cases have decreased significantly, with a previous history of having fluctuating cases. This is a major concern, because Purworejo Regency is in the stage of being eliminated. Methodology This study used quantitative correlational method. Questionnaire was used to collect the data which came from four sub-districts in Purworejo. Results and DiscussionGovernment programs have a correlation with local health services, as proven by 0.835. The better the government program, the better local health services. Government programs also have a correlation with malaria cases (0.713). Conclusion Purworejo Regency is proven capable in implementing the national malaria health program synergy with regional health programs to reduce the number of malaria cases

THE STRATEGY TO ACCELARATE OIL AND GAS E&P BUSINESS LIFE CYCLE

The oil and gas business is one of the industries that supports the Indonesian economy. The business chain involves many industries from upstream to downstream, including other derivative industries that are very diverse. The oil and gas business chain starts from the upstream side, the transportation/midstream industry, the downstream industry, to the derivative industries. The objective of this paper is to define the strategy how to accelerate oil and gas E&P business life cycle. In 2017, the entire Indonesian oil and gas industry, including the supporting industries, contributed 62.67% of Indonesia's GDP. So it is important for the government to manage the sector appropriately to take advantage of it as a driving force for the Indonesian economy and strategically take advantage of this momentum to prepare for Indonesia's future development growth. Before advance into strategic stimulation, it needs to be understood that there are several driving forces that can stimulate the growth of the oil and gas business in Indonesia. Some of these driving forces are the supply of fossil energy, market demand for fossil energy, upstream fossil energy prices, end-user fossil energy prices, global fossil energy prices, transport infrastructure and fossil energy processing availability, government regulations, availability of renewable energy, non-fossil energy prices, environmental regulations, technological developments, business competition in the energy supply sector, geopolitical, as well as Indonesia's economic growth in general

FOOD WASTE VALORIZATION: A STUDY OF BIOGAS-FUELED SOFC/MGT HYBRID SYSTEM FOR JAKARTA’S ELECTRICITY GENERATION

Every day, around 3,300 tons of food waste is generated in Jakarta. The amount of food waste has increased during the COVID-19 pandemic. Left unutilized, the decay of food waste, which produces methane, will simply contribute to greenhouse gas emissions. Alternatively, based on literature study, methane can be used for electricity generation using fuel cell. The process starts with food waste decomposing into biogas containing methane in an anaerobic digester. The yielded biogas is fed to the reforming process to produce hydrogen, which fuels the Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC). The SOFC is integrated with micro gas turbines (MGT) for combined heat and power generation. Using 190 kg food waste per day, this hybrid system can generate 2.5 MW, powering approximately 3,000 households. This method is a way to achieve affordable and clean energy, responsible production and consumption, climate action and sustainable cities and communities especially in Jakarta

THE SELECTED FACTORS RELATED TO THE ANTIRETROVIRAL THERAPY ADHERENE AMONG THE PEOPLE LIVING WITH HIV IN KATMANDU, NEPAL

Nepal has a concentrated epidemic of HIV, and 29,944 people were estimated to be living with HIV in 2018. This descriptive study assesses the relationship between antiretroviral therapy adherence and the selected factors among the people living with HIV using Visual Analogue Scale. Data were collected using structure questionnaires from 183 people living with HIV recruited by systematic random sampling. Approximately 27% of the respondents perceived they had received low social support. Similarly, 55.7% of the respondents perceived their adherence to be less than 95% (suboptimal adherence), whereas 44.3% of the respondents perceived their adherence to be more than 95% (optimal adherence). Age, income, alcohol use, drug use, ART pills per day, taking pills for other diseases and frequency of taking pills were found to be significantly associated with ART adherence. The antiretroviral therapy program in Nepal should be focused on the use of drug regimen with fewer side effects along with fixed-dose combination

APPLICATION OF CARBONIZATION TECHNOLOGY IN MEDICAL WASTE TREATMENT AS A SUSTAINABLE WASTE TO ENERGY CONVERSION IN INDONESIA

As the second-highest country with COVID-19 cases in Southeast Asia, medical waste (MW) generated by healthcare facilities in Indonesia has increased to 425 tons/day from 290 tons/day in 2019. Inefficient current methods for MW treatment (incineration and land disposal) emit dioxins, contributing to environmental issues and health deterioration. On the contrary, carbonization can effectively convert MW into valuable products specifically char with an estimated HHV up to 25 MJ/kg, similar with that of sub-bituminous coal, while operating under mild conditions. In the absence of oxygen, over 50% of the carbon is recovered as solid product, therefore decreasing the emitted gaseous carbons. Based on simple weighted analysis, HTC, which produces hydrochar, is the most recommended carbonization method as a sustainable medical waste treatment to energy conversion in Indonesia. LCIA showed that HTC decrease damages of human health, ecosystem quality, climate change, and resources, all in comparison with incineration and landfill. HTC project as a mean for processing medical waste is deemed to be economically viable compared to incinerator with a 10 years break-even selling price of 240 USD/ton hydrochar

RISK ANALYSIS OF THE SUPPLY CHAIN OF EUCALYPTUS WOOD FOR PULP AND PAPER INDUSTRY USING FMEA

Eucalyptus wood is a major raw material of pulp and paper industry in which the demand is dramatically increased not only in Thailand but also all over the world over the past decades. There are risks that occurred in the supply chain process of eucalyptus wood for pulp and paper industry. A study of the Eucalyptus supply chain and risks associated along the chain could help mitigating any future risks that may potentially harm stakeholders along the supply chain.In this research study, the supply chain of eucalyptus wood for pulp and paper industry was diagnosed and identified. Four main stakeholders in this chain were identified consisted of the eucalyptus seedling developers and sellers, the suppliers, the distribution centers, and the pulp and paper production plants. Potential risks related to each process were identified and classified while using the traditional Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA) method. Then, the risks were prioritized using the Risk Priority Number (RPN). Finally, the study results showed that there were 51 potential risks and out of these, 7 risks were identified as high risks in this supply chain.  Those included “Eucalyptus trees are cut too early”, “Farmers’ lack of understanding about how to grow eucalyptus properly”, “Stem size is too small”, “Eucalyptus wood price is highly fluctuated in the market”, “Stock quantity is too low”, “Contaminated soil”, and “Lack of knowledge about quality control.” By understanding these high risks, resources could be invested properly to help all stakeholders within this supply chain

HEALTH-RELATED QUALITY OF LIFE AMONG HIV/AIDS PATIENTS

The prevalence of people living with HIV/AIDS is a steady increase. Thus people face several challenges in terms of the medical management of their disease. Alongside stigma, discrimination, and psychological issues also mainly affect their quality of life. The aim of this study was to investigate the health-related quality of life of patients with HIV/AIDS. A crossectional study was conducted with 40 outpatients in a Voluntary Counseling and Testing Centre for HIV/AIDS of a public hospital in Bengkulu, Indonesia. WHOQOL-HIV BREF was used to measure the health-related quality of life among them. A descriptive statistic was performed for data analysis. This study found that overall the quality of life of patients with HIV/AIDS was poor. Spiritual and psychological domains were the most health issue reported by the patients followed by the physical health domain. These results could be an indicator to assess outcomes of health treatment that was received by the patients

SLUMPING (Slum Mapping) as An Implementation of Innovative Platform to Help Government and Humanitarian Groups Log Various Slum Area

World Bank (2017) reported around 64% people who live in urban slums are in Asia. Jakarta is one of city in Asia countries that has many slums. This study aims to help government and humanitarian groups to settlements slum area with innovation with mapping area. This study used qualitative approach. In collecting data, this used interview for expert and document analysis. The subject of this study is Advocacy Coordinator of Urban Poor Consortium (UPC), Coordinator and Member of Urban Poor Linkage (JRMK), the Chairman of Ciliwung River Community (KAKC) and Chairman of Neighbourhood (RT) 07, Halmet (RW) 01, Pademangan, Kota Tua, Jakarta. This research will be located in Ciliwung river basin area, Jakarta, Indonesia. The result of the study show that area mapping is very needed to find and determine right settlement of slum area in urban city. The finding show that the government’s efforts in determining the mapping of slums are still being monitored in terms of physical criteria

The Evolution Of Social Entrepreneurship In Thailand

Social enterprises began in Thailand in the 1970s. Since then, these dual-mission organisations, which strive to satisfy both economic and social aims, have flourished and are considered by the government as key social innovation drivers. Although the term is familiar to certain groups, the general public awareness remains limited, thus efforts are still required to understand, develop support, and encourage government and stakeholders to facilitate social enterprises for better governance in the country. This paper explores the evolution of social entrepreneurship in Thailand since its beginnings. In doing so, the paper also seeks to contribute to the understanding of the history of Thai social enterprises in relation to the contemporary political and socio-economic context of the country. Finally, the paper briefly compares the social enterprise landscape in Thailand with that of Vietnam in order to draw potential policy implications for Vietnam’s social enterprise legal framework
