Objective: To determine the validity and reliability of TranQol questionnaire that has been translated into Indonesian to be used in Indonesian thalassemia major patients. The quality of life problems among these patients can be detected earlier because TranQol is more precise compared to the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQLTM), World Health Organization Quality of Life Instruments (WHOQOL), and SF-36 Questionaire. Methods: This study was conducted in Bandung, Indonesia from October 2015 to March 2016 and used a standard “forward-backward” translation procedure. It involved 60 adults and 73 children who are thalassemia major patients, and 71 parents of patients in Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital. TranQol was processed through forward and backward translation approach and evaluation was conducted by the TranQol author. After the translation process, a cognitive debriefing was performed and the translated TranQol was tested to all subjects. Results: Cronbach’s alpha >0.7 was used for all TranQol categories. Front validity and content validity testing was performed. The internal validity results showed that some questions were not valid. Conclusions: TranQol reliability in Indonesian language for every category is good. Validity for TranQol in Indonesian language shows that the translated TranQol is not quite suitable that it still cannot be used.

Conservation strategies are rarely systematically evaluated, which reduces transparency, hinders the costeffective deployment of resources, and hides what works best in different contexts. Using data on the iconic and critically endangered orangutan (Pongo spp.), we developed a novel spatiotemporal framework for evaluating conservation investments. We show that around USD 1 billion was invested between 2000 and 2019 into orangutan conservation by governments, nongovernmental organizations, companies, and communities. Broken down by allocation to different conservation strategies, we find that habitat protection, patrolling, and public outreach had the greatest return on investment for maintaining orangutan populations. Given the variability in threats, land-use opportunity costs, and baseline remunerations in different regions, there were differential benefits per dollar invested across conservation activities and regions. We show that although challenging from a data and analysis perspective, it is possible to fully understand the relationships between conservation investments and outcomes and the external factors that influence these outcomes. Such analyses can provide improved guidance toward a more effective biodiversity conservation. Insights into the spatiotemporal interplays between the costs and benefits driving effectiveness can inform decisions about the most suitable orangutan conservation strategies for halting population declines. Although our study focuses on the three extant orangutan species of Sumatra and Borneo, our findings have broad application for evidence-based conservation science and practice worldwide.

Deforestation arising from oil palm expansion in the tropics poses threats to forest ecosystem services. Using high-resolution satellite maps, we show that oil palm expansion into forests in Indonesia and Malaysia during 2001-2015 caused a forest biomass loss of 50.2 +/- 21.9 TgC yr(-1). Large-scale plantations dominated the expansion area. But the encroachment of oil palm plantations from low to high biomass density forests is particularly obvious for small-scale plantations after 2007. This work provides new data for targeting policies to restrict oil palm encroachment into carbon-rich regions, including into protected areas. Deforestation caused by oil palm plantations is threatening biomass carbon sequestration across the tropics. Although large-scale plantations dominate this expansion, smallholder operations responding to high export prices are preferentially eating into mature, carbon-rich forests that promise high yields.

Four species belonging to Kickxellales (Kickxellomycotina) isolated from soil of Indonesia are described and illustrated. Two new species of Coemansia, C. asiatica and C. javaensis, were discovered in South Sulawesi and West Java, and two known species of Linderina, L. pennispora and L. macrospora, were discovered in East Kalimantan and South Sulawesi, respectively. These four species are newly added to the Indonesian mycobiota. A technique for inducing sporulation of C. javaensis and L. macrospora by adding substances derived from invertebrates such as aphids, nereids, or cladocerans to culture media is described.

This study compares the performance of F-1 Senepol u Brahman steers (F-1 SEN) to Brahman (BRAH) steers in an Indonesian feedlot. The focus was to address concerns that crossbred cattle are discriminated against by live export cattle buyers due to a perception that they do not perform as well as Brahmans in Indonesian feedlots. F-1 SEN (n = 54) and BRAH (n = 32) steers that had grazed together since weaning at Douglas Daly Research Farm (Northern Territory) were exported to Indonesia and fed for 121 days in a feedlot near Lampung (Sumatra, Indonesia). The average daily gain of the F-1 SEN steers over the feeding period was 0.17 kg/day higher (P < 0.001) than the BRAH steers (1.71 vs 1.54 kg/day). As a result the F-1 SEN put on an average of 21.6 kg more over the 121-day feeding period and they did not have a higher mortality rate. Consequently, F-1 SEN steers performed better than BRAH in an Indonesian feedlot and these results should encourage live export cattle buyers to purchase this type of cattle (Brahman crossed with a tropically adapted Bos taurus breed) with confidence that they can perform at least as well as Brahmans in Indonesian feedlots, although it should be noted that growth rates are usually higher in F-1 crosses than in subsequent generations.

This paper provides a case study of the Bank Syariah Indonesia (BSI) that has been formally created on the 1st of February 2021 through mergers of three State-owned Islamic banks in Indonesia. This paper is a descriptive case study focusing on why the merger was initiated, what happens to the Indonesian Islamic banking industry after mergers, and its implication on market competition and stock prices. We use data of total assets of 34 Islamic banks in Indonesia and the weekly stock price of 4 listed Islamic banks for 18 months. By computing concentration ratio and Herfindahl index, we find that the Indonesian Islamic banking market competition decreases substantially after the merger. We also find that although the merger of BSI previously brings a positive reaction in the stock markets, the stock price of BSI consistently decreased after mergers.

Indonesian Buddhism has many sects such as Theravada, Mahayana, Buddhayana, Tantrayana, Maitreya, Tridharma, Kasogatan, Nichiren and so on. These sects historically come from the same source, the Buddha’s teachings, but now they have differences in terms of doctrines and practices. This article analyses the differences with regard to their doctrines and beliefs in relation to the concept of God as required by the Indonesian Constitution. The discussion focuses on the debate among three sects, namely, Buddhayana, Theravada and Mahayana, about the name and nature of God and sources of doctrines on which they rely. The research was conducted in Jakarta and Bogor which focused mainly on the organisation of Nichiren Shoshu Indonesia (NSI). The data were collected through book and document study, observations and interviews with NSI followers. Additional data was performed in Bandung in 2019 by interviewing Buddhayana and Theravada adherents. The research finds that Buddhayana was successful in formulating the concept of God based on an old manuscript, Sang Hyang Kamahayanikan, so that Buddhism has met constitutional requirements and eventually has been accommodated as one of the official religions. However, it has been challenged by both Theravada and Nichiren, which rely on other sources of doctrines.Contribution: This article contributes to the theological discourse among Buddhist sects, which are rarely discussed by Buddhist scholars. Buddhist adherents in Indonesia not only have political responsibility as required by the Constitution, but also have a socio-ethical responsibility in terms of religious tolerance both within and outside other religions.

new study on engineering is now available. According to news originating from Jawa Barat, Indonesia,
by VerticalNews correspondents, research stated, “Large photovoltaic (PV) generations are vulnerable to thermal faults where the location is difficult to determine. The pre-existing thermal fault detection method
(mostly manual visual inspection) is time-consuming and non-continuously monitoring.”
