/0 Comments/in /by

The purpose of this study is to examine the variables influencing the implementation of the audit recommendations made by the Supreme Audit Board (BPK) regarding the Kupang Regency’s Local Government Financial Report (LKPD). This study uses a case study methodology and a qualitative descriptive method to examine the Inspectorate of Kupang Regency. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with key informants, including the Secretary of the Regional Inspectorate, Functional Supervisors, and an Auditor as the Administrator of the State/Regional Loss Information System (SIKAD). Documentation of pertinent reports, including Audit Reports (LHP), Semester Audit Reports (IHPS), and Regional Audit Reports (IHPD), provided secondary data. The results show that the follow-up procedure has a number of obstacles, such as a lack of human resources, a lack of knowledge about the SIKAD application, and logistical issues brought on by Kupang Regency’s vast and tough terrain. Furthermore, as of 2023, only 63.21% of the suggestions have been put into practice, falling short of the BPK-established minimum of 75%.

Kupang Regency has shown a dedication to enhancing financial governance by effectively maintaining an unqualified opinion (WTP) on its financial report since 2022 in spite of these obstacles. This study comes to the conclusion that strengthening the follow-up process requires eliminating logistical obstacles, increasing human resource capability, and maximizing stakeholder collaboration. Maintaining the WTP status of Kupang Regency’s financial reporting and meeting BPK’s follow-up goals depend on these activities.

/0 Comments/in /by

Pulmonary tuberculosis (TB), caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, remains a major global health issue, particularly in developing countries. Weakened immunity in TB patients increases their risk of herpes zoster, whose incidence rises with age. Over 60% of cases occur in individuals older than 50 years, while only 10% affect those under 20. This case report highlights the application of evidence-based medicine in family practice, focusing on identifying risk factors, clinical issues, and patient management through a patient-centered, family-oriented approach. Data were collected through anamnesis, physical examinations, and home visits to evaluate family, psychosocial, and environmental factors. Additional information was obtained from the patient’s medical records. A holistic assessment was conducted from diagnosis to outcome, incorporating qualitative and quantitative analyses. The patient, Mr. A., a 72-year-old, presented with relapsed pulmonary TB and herpes zoster. He sought routine anti-tuberculosis drug retrieval and reported lesions on his left back with sensations of heat and itching. Interventions led to improvements in TB symptoms, healing of herpes lesions, and enhanced patient behaviour. Quantitative evaluations showed increased knowledge, medication adherence, and better dietary habits. The diagnosis and management followed national guidelines and relevant literature. Positive outcomes were observed in the patient’s symptoms, knowledge, and behaviours, as well as improvements within his family, as assessed during follow-ups. This case underscores the importance of holistic and evidence-based approaches in addressing complex comorbidities in primary care.

A Comparative Analysis of Collaborative Models between Government and Business Entity in National Asset Management: Case Study of the Cisem-1 Gas Transmission Pipelines

/0 Comments/in /by

Developing infrastructure for natural gas transportation requires substantial investment. The high standards of safety in its equipment material, workmanship, design, and construction methods are the reason for this. Consequently, investment in natural gas infrastructure entails significant risk when supply and demand situations are variable and immature. The Cirebon-Semarang Gas Transmission Pipeline project, awarded to Rekind in 2006, has had delays from the beginning. Following Rekind’s resignation, the Government continues the project to regard the Cisem Pipeline as strategic, capable of fostering economic and industrial growth in Java, especially in Central Java. The government utilized the APBN to assume control of the Cisem project, initiating the first phase, designated as Cisem-1, in 2022. Following the completion of the Cisem-1 project in 2023, Lemigas, as the designated asset manager and user, is required to seek a partnership with a business entity that possesses the requisite capabilities and adheres to regulations governing gas transportation operations. This study proposes alternative partnership models between the government, represented by Lemigas, and the business entity, PT Pertamina Gas (Pertagas). This study evaluates and analyzes the most suitable partnership model between Lemigas and Pertagas, taking into account operational costs to maintain affordable gas prices for customers, as well as processing time for partner selection and operatorship alignment with project timelines to ensure the MEMR that the asset is utilized and not abandoned. The KSP (Kerja Sama Pemanfaatan) of BMN (Barang Milik Negara) scheme has been identified as the most suitable option.
