Abstract

This research aimed to assess the contribution of livelihood recovery efforts, including communities’ own initiatives and external support, to people’s livelihoods in the tsunami-affected areas in Aceh Province, Indonesia. Using a mixed-methods approach and covering fourteen tsunami-affected villages located in Pidie and Aceh Besar district, the study adopts the concept of Sustainable Livelihoods and modifies the Sustainable Livelihoods Framework (SLF) for its critical analysis. The findings show that people’s strategies were influenced by local values, practices and institutions, previous hardships, and contributions from different livelihoods recovery programmes implemented by relief and development agencies. In dealing with the impacts of the tsunami, men and women in the affected communities showed various short-term responses or coping strategies. For longer term recovery, communities developed adaptation and transformation strategies for their livelihood activities. In many cases, people adjusted existing livelihood activities to the changes as well as developing new livelihood strategies. This led to different outcomes for households, either being more resilient or more vulnerable, as well as influencing their future access to assets.Keywords: Disaster, Livelihoods, Resilience, and Sustainable Livelihoods.

Abstract

Bengkulu, which is located on coastal area and is adjoining directly with Hindia Ocean, is one of provinces of Indonesia having a potential coal resource quality. In exploring and exploiting this resource, district government of Bengkulu has issued licenses to some companies.Unfortunately the activities of some company caused damage and pollution on headwaters and downstream of Bengkulu river basin at coastal area.Supposing it is not coped with soon by the government, the waste of the coal which caused damage and pollution will continue flow to the sea and gradually will empty into Hindia Ocean.The activities that affect the damage of river and sea environment ecosystem will make Indonesia be responsible internationally.It is due to Indonesia has been agreed to be bound to United Nations Convention on The law of the Sea (UNCLOS) 1982. Notwithstanding UNCLOS 1982 gives right to states to exploit their natural resources pursuant to their environmental policies and in accordance with their duty to protect and preserve the marine environment, on the other side it lays obligation to protect and preserve the marine environment. State shall take, individually or jointly as appropriate all measures consistent with UNCLOS that are necessary to prevent, reduce and control pollution of the marine environment from any source, using for this purpose the best practicable means at their disposal and in accordance with their capabilities, and they shall endeavor to harmonize the policies in this connection. States also shall take all measures necessary to ensure that activities under their jurisdiction or control are so conducted as not to cause damage by pollution to other States and their environment, and that pollution arising from incidents or activities under their jurisdiction or control does not spread beyond the areas where they exercise sovereign rights in accordance with UNCLOS 1982.If the District Government of Bengkulu does not pay attention to this problem, Indonesia will internationally be responsible for putting back the sea environment to the condition before the pollution took place. This responsible will take long time and much fund. It will also make Indonesia’s credibility in international society goes down as they will value Indonesia does not care about its own environtment, especially international sea environtment. For that, it needs to provide preventive action soon by the district government, for being apart from responsibilities and for protecting the citizen right on health environtment.Keywords: Indonesia Responsibility, Sea Pollution, Coal Waste.

This study is aimed to examine empirically the influence of financial leverage on bid-ask spread through market capitalization. The population are companies that listed in the LQ45 Index during periods 2011-2012. This study uses 35 companies listed in the LQ45 index during periods 2011-2012 as many as 70 observations. Data are collected from Indonesian Capital Market Directory. This study uses path analysis to examine the hypothesis. The results show that (1) the influence of financial leverage on market capitalization is negative. (2) the influence of market capitalization on bid-ask spread is also negative. (3) the influence of financial leverage on the bid-ask spread is positive. (4) simultaneously, financial leverage and market capitalization have influence on bid-ask spread. Indirectly, financial leverage has influence on bid-ask spread through the market capitalization. Then, direct influence of financial leverage on the bid-ask spread is stronger than indirect influence of financial leverage on the bid-ask spread through the market capitalization. Therefore, it can be stated that the real influence of financial leverage on bid-ask spread is direct influence.Keywords: Bid-Ask Spread, Financial Leverage and Market Capitalization.

Abstract

The subject of Christianity and Christians in the Middle East would seem to many be as oxymoronic as the topic of ‘Islam in the West’. While interest in Western-based Islam as faith-cum-political ideology and in Muslims as a distinctive polity has accelerated in line with global geo-political developments, relative ignorance regarding Christianity and Christians in the Middle East has been the norm rather than the exception. This paper is a modest attempt to redress the lack of attention hitherto given to Middle Eastern Christians as a multi-disciplinary research area.Keywords: Middle East, Christianity, Arab Christian, Eastern Christian, Muslim-Christian relations
