The Influence of ESG Disclosure, Green Investment, and Green Fund on Company Value in the Energy Sector Listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange
Full text linkThe growing global awareness of climate change has driven energy sector companies to adopt sustainable business practices. As one of the largest contributors to carbon emissions, the energy sector faces increasing pressure from society, regulators, and markets to enhance environmental responsibility through Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) practices, Green Investment, and Green Fund initiatives. This study aims to examine the effect of ESG Disclosure, Green Investment, and Green Fund on firm value in energy sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX). The research employed an associative method with a quantitative approach. The population consisted of all 40 energy sector companies that published a 2024 sustainability report and disclosed ESG or CSR initiatives. Data collection was conducted through documentation of the sustainability reports, and analysis was carried out using multiple linear regression. The regression model produced was Y = 23.308 - 0.024 X1 + 0.161 X2 - 0.242 X3. The correlation coefficient (R) was 0.316, indicating a weak relationship among the variables. The coefficient of determination (R²) was 0.100, meaning that only 10% of the variation in firm value can be explained by the three variables. The F test showed a significant simultaneous effect (Sig. 0.000 < 0.05). However, partial tests revealed that only Green Fund had a significant effect (Sig. 0.022 < 0.05), while ESG Disclosure and Green Investment did not. The study concludes that while ESG, Green Investment, and Green Fund collectively affect firm value, Green Fund is the only factor with a significant individual impact
Impacts of Nutritional Involvements for Metabolic Acidosis in Patients with Chronic Renal Illness: Article Review
Full text linkChronic kidney disease represents the predominant etiology of chronic metabolic acidosis. Reduced tubular ammoniogenesis, or the loss of nephron mass, is the main cause of the decrease in the tubular net secretion of protons. Numerous problems related to cMA have been explored recently. These included the breakdown of proteins, decreased production of new proteins, demineralization of bone, inflammation, and the advancement of chronic kidney disease. Foods like cheese, meat, eggs, and grains often increase the amount of acid in the diet, whereas fruits and vegetables (F+V) are thought to produce bases. Conclusions: The most common cause of chronic metabolic acidosis is chronic renal illness. Chronic metabolic acidosis linked to CKD most likely worsens the course of chronic kidney disease. Rather than metabolic acidosis, insufficient hemodialysis is the cause of malnutrition in chronic hemodialysis patients. Patients with kidney disorders can effectively manage metabolic acidosis by increasing their fruit and vegetable consumption and taking oral alkali supplements

The Role of the Gorontalo City DPRD in Supervising Infrastructure Development: Corrective Actions to Improve Development Quality
Full text linkIndonesia’s rapid development, particularly in democratic governance, has highlighted the importance of regional autonomy. The establishment of regional autonomy aims to empower local governments to manage their own affairs, including infrastructure development. The role of the Regional People’s Representative Council (DPRD), especially in overseeing infrastructure projects, is crucial to ensure the effective use of allocated funds. This research adopts a qualitative approach, with data collected through interviews, observations, and documentation. The study focuses on the oversight function of the DPRD Gorontalo City, specifically Commission C, in managing infrastructure development funded by the National Economic Recovery (PEN) program. The findings reveal that the DPRD Commission C’s oversight function is not fully optimized. Despite regular hearings and field visits, the lack of concrete corrective actions has resulted in delayed and substandard projects. The community's pressure has been more effective than the DPRD’s oversight in ensuring project completion. Evaluations and corrective actions are often procedural, with limited follow-up, and the political influence affects the DPRD's ability to push for significant changes. The DPRD Commission C’s oversight in infrastructure development has not been fully effective, especially in ensuring projects meet targets. It is recommended that the DPRD conduct more rigorous field inspections, involve independent experts, and enforce stricter penalties for non-compliance to improve the quality of oversight and project outcomes
Leadership Empowerment Behaviors and Nurse’s Intention to Leave in Al Wakra Hospital- HMC
Full text linkNurse turnover is a global challenge that significantly impacts healthcare systems, leading to staffing shortages, increased workload, and compromised patient care. Despite growing literature on LEB, limited research exists on its impact on turnover intentions among nurses in Qatar. This study aims to examine the relationship between LEB and nurses’ intention to leave in Al Wakra Hospital, Qatar. It also explores demographic, structural, and organizational factors contributing to turnover intentions. A cross-sectional study design was employed, surveying registered nurses at Al Wakra Hospital. The study utilized the Leadership Empowering Behavior Questionnaire (LEBQ) and the Turnover Intention Scale (TIS-6) to assess the relationship between leadership empowerment and nurses’ intention to leave. Data were collected through an online survey and analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics, including Pearson correlation and multiple regression analysis. The study found a moderate level of perceived leadership empowerment (mean score 86.9 ± 20.4) and a significant turnover intention (mean score 45.1 ± 13.8). Nurses who perceived higher levels of leadership empowerment reported lower turnover intentions (r = -0.28, p < 0.05). Higher turnover intentions were observed among nurses holding advanced degrees (p = 0.021). No significant differences were found in turnover intentions based on age, gender, or shift type. Leadership empowerment behaviors are inversely related to turnover intentions among nurses in Qatar. Enhancing leadership empowerment strategies, particularly in areas such as information sharing and decision-making autonomy, may help reduce nurse turnover. The findings provide valuable insights for healthcare policymakers and administrators in developing targeted retention strategies
The Role of Organic Fertilizer on The Growth of Ornamental Plants (A Review)
Full text linkIncreasing plant productivity requires great attention to the soil and the nutrients it contains for the plant. Therefore, organic fertilizers have been used as an alternative to chemical fertilizers in improve the properties of the soil. Organic fertilizers are defined as fertilizers prepared from plant remains and animal wastes. There are two types of organic fertilizers, the first type is natural organic fertilizer used in very large quantities, but its nutrient content is low, such as animal manure, garbage compost, and vermicompost. The second type is concentrated organic fertilizer and contains a high percentage of plant nutrients, such as humic acid fertilizer, the most important characteristic of organic fertilizers is their conversion into humus in the soil by microorganisms, therefore they are applied to all types of soils, contributing to reducing the acidity of the soil improving its porosity, and increasing the soil’s ability to retain water. The slow decomposition also distinguishes them in providing nutrients to plants for a period of time. long period of time
