Strategi Promosi Pariwisata Kreatif Jember Fashion Carnaval (JFC)
No full textProceeding Seminar Nasional Business, Government, and The Public 2018The promotion strategy for Jember Fashion Carnaval (JFC) conducted by the Jember
Regency Tourism and Culture Office as a tourist destination in East Java is to introduce the
public and tourists. This was done because Jember was nicknamed the world-class Carnaval
City which was interesting and qualified to be used as a creative tourism destination. This
research is a qualitative research which aims to find out how the promotion strategy carried
out by the Jember Regency Tourism and Culture Office in making Jember a Carnaval city.
Data collection techniques were carried out by interviewing resource persons from the
Jember Regency Tourism and Culture Office who had an important role in carrying out the
promotion strategy. The authors also observed the field to find out how the process of
creative tourism promotion strategy Jember Fashion Carnaval (JFC). The author also uses
literature studies to better explain this research to make it clearer. From the results of the
study, the Jember Regency Tourism and Culture Office conducted a promotion strategy in
several ways. First, collaborate with electronic media, online and newspapers. Second, make
booklets and leaflets and hold exhibitions. Third, cooperating with Garuda Indonesian
Airways, Wings Air and International Airport and stations in Java Fourth, socialization to
tourism players in East Java, especially Jember

by/3.0/legalcode.Purpose – This paper reports on banking and finance professionals' decision making in the context of elder financial abuse. The aim was to identify the case features that influence when abuse is identified and when action is taken.
Design/methodology/approach – Banking and finance professionals (n=70) were shown 35 financial abuse case scenarios and were asked to judge how certain they were that the older person was being abused and the likelihood of taking action.
Findings – Three case features significantly influenced certainty of financial abuse: the nature of the financial problem presented, the older person's level of mental capacity and who was in charge of the client's money. In cases where the older person was more confused and forgetful, there was increased suspicion that financial abuse was taking place. Finance professionals were less certain that financial abuse was occurring if the older person was in charge of his or her own finances.
Originality/value – The research findings have been used to develop freely available online training resources to promote professionals' decision making capacity (www.elderfinancialabuse.co.uk). The resources have been advocated for use by Building Societies Association as well as CIFAS, the UK's Fraud Prevention Service.The research reported here was funded by the UK cross council New Dynamicsof Ageing Programme, ESRC Reference No. RES-352-25-0026, with Mary L.M. Gilhooly asPrincipal Investigator. Web-based training tools, developed from the research findings, weresubsequently funded by the ESRC follow-on fund ES/J001155/1 with Priscilla A.

The art of deterrence: Singapore’s anti-money laundering regimes
No full textPurpose
In light of the recent 1MDB Scandal in Singapore, this research paper aims to examine the deterrent effect of Singapore’s sanctions against money laundering within financial institutions.
Design/methodology/approach
Case laws and legislations are examined as are relevant reports by regulators.
Findings
Singapore’s anti-money laundering (AML) regimes may not act as an effective deterrent against money laundering activities within financial institutions. This is due to the overreliance on the theory of deterrence-based thinking, the lack of an “enforcement pyramid” and economic factors which influence regulators to be lenient towards financial institutions.
Research limitations/implications
There are limited data available in relation to regulators in Singapore and the prevalence of money laundering activities within Singapore’s financial institution. Any discussions within this article is based on the impressionistic observations of this author, which may not reflect the true state of affairs in Singapore.
Practical implications
Those who are interested in examining the relationship between money laundering and the deterrent effect of sanctions against financial institutions will have an interest in this topic.
Originality/value
The value of the paper is to demonstrate that Singapore’s AML regimes may not act as an effective deterrence against money laundering activities within financial institutions.

Organic-inorganic biohybrid films from wool-keratin/jellyfish-collagen/silica/boron via sol-gel reactions for soft tissue engineering applications
No full textTherapeutic angiogenesis is pivotal in creating effective tissue-engineered constructs that deliver nutrients and oxygen to surrounding cells. Hence, biomaterials that promote angiogenesis can enhance the efficacy of various medical treatments, encompassing tissue engineering, wound healing, and drug delivery systems. Considering these, we propose a rapid method for producing composite silicon-boron-wool keratin/jellyfish collagen (Si-B-WK/JFC) inorganic-organic biohybrid films using sol-gel reactions. In this approach, reactive tetraethyl orthosilicate and boric acid (pKa ? 9.24) were used as silicon and boron sources, respectively, and a solid-state gel was formed through the condensation reaction of these reactive groups with the keratin/collagen mixture. Once the resulting gel was thoroughly suspended in water, the films were prepared by a casting/solvent evaporation methodology. The fabricated hybrid films were characterized structurally and mechanically. In addition, angiogenic characteristics were determined by the in ovo chick chorioallantoic membrane assay, which revealed an increased vascular network within the Si-B-WK/JFC biohybrid films. In conclusion, it is believed that Si-B-WK/JFC biohybrid films with mechanical and pro-angiogenic properties have the potential to be possessed in soft tissue engineering applications, especially wound healing. © 2024 The Author(s).
