Abstract

Aceh was devastated by the 2004 tsunami with over 170.000 people killed along the coast of the Indian Ocean. Frankenberg et al. claims that in the wake of the tsunami post- traumatic stress disorders have manifested along Aceh’s coastal line. High rates. of psychopathology, including symptoms of anxiety, affective disorders, and post-traumatic stress symptom have been reported amongst survivors of the earthquake and tsunami in Aceh and Nias . Prior to the 2004 tsunami there existed a long running military conflict between the Aceh Separatist group (GAM) and the Indonesian government taking place between 1967 and 2004. This also had psychological impacts including depression, anxiety and trauma symptoms  for the larger Acehnese community. Prior to the Tsunami 2004, there was little or no attention to mental health in the health system both nationally and locally. Mental health conditions following the Tsunami 2004 has brought opportunity for national and international agencies to initiate the establishment of a mental health care system. Mental health specialists have been limited in Aceh, although since the tsunami mental health training has been provided to the health department staff whose services are in primary care. In addition, to reach the community, mental health approaches based on community interventions have been established and funded by some agencies in terms of assessment and treatment or intervention. However, there continue to be substantial barriers to accessing mental health care in CHCs in Aceh. As international funding has declined, local initiatives between university and CHCs discontinued, psychology services continue to be stretched and those psychologists who provide these services do SOs on a voluntary capacity. This research has sought to develop understanding into the experiences of those volunteer psychologists who provide mental health care services in CHCs in Banda Aceh in order to gain knowledge for the improvement community mental health provision in Aceh. The design of this research is qualitative as this is considered the most appropriate method to address the research question that seeks an in depth understanding of the experiences and opinions of a small group of Clinical Psychologists working in Aceh Six clinical psychologists responded to an email advertisement forwarded through a clinical psychologist contact person in Aceh (see Appendix 1 for email advertisement) and participated in this study. The interviews were conducted in Indonesian language, recorded, transcribed verbatim in Indonesian and translated to English by the researcher. Each interview was of approximately 60 minutes duration. The semi-structured interview schedule was intended to explore these aspects of participants’ experiences. Data was analysed inductively, which is a “process of coding the data without trying to fit into pre-existing coding frame, or the researcher’s analytic preconceptions or called data-driven” This theme describes the community beliefs, stigma, taboo and perception toward mental illness and person with mental illnesses that prevent individuals and their family within the  community in Aceh from accessing mental health services.

Abstract

The enactment of Law No. 6/2014 in Aceh has been associated with the existence of gampong and mukim governed by Law No. 11/2006. Law no. 6/2014 has not focuses on the recognition of adat communities. This article aims to answer two important issues. First, to what extent a leadership strengthening of gampong and mukim in Aceh can be performed in the context of recognition of adat communities? Second, what is correlation between a leadership framework related to disaster experience of Aceh and disaster mitigation? The strengthening of gampong and mukim leaderships was inseparable from the context of recognition and protection of the state to adat communities. So far, state law does not recognize adat communities operatively and functionally. It is important to strengthen the adat communities. The strengthening should be oriented on an understanding that adat communities are not limited to the context of adat law, but rather related to sociocultural, politics, economics, and ecological dimensions. In regard to disaster mitigation, the recognition and protection of adat communities would be very important so that implementation of disaster mitigation can be performed by gampong and mukim leaders. In this case, gampong and mukim were not limited as government agencies, but as adat institution and adat community. This institutional combination allowed gampong and mukim to set adat spaces contributing to the disaster risk mitigation of Aceh.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the influence of bank monitoring on profit efficiency of banking companies in the Indonesian Stock Exchange. This paper uses panel data analysis of 29 companies listed in the Indonesian Stock Exchange during the period 2010-2014. Specific fixed-effect regression models for each bank were used in this study to estimate the value of bank monitoring variables. To obtain accurate results, this study uses some control variables, which are bank size, bank profitability, banking liquidity, market share, and bank capital. This study also uses a two-stage research method. First, bank efficiency is estimated using Stochastic Frontier Analysis (SFA). Second, the scores obtained from the first stage are regressed with the bank monitoring variable and a number of control variables using the tobit regression technique. This research finds that bank monitoring variable has a positive and significant effect on the profit efficiency of banking companies listed in the Indonesian Stock Exchange. The results of this study prove that banks allocating more resources for monitoring can earn more efficient profit. This study also provides empirical evidence that bank monitoring can increase the value of banking companies in Indonesia.

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.

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.

Abstract

Brecht’s Caucasian Chalk Circleis pervasive with ridicule. The ridicule is conveyed subtly and interestingly that capitalists do not realize that they are the objects of ridicule. The dispute between two groups of peasants is settled ridiculously. The original owners are disowned because the other can make a better use of the land that may lead to prosperity for all. In the physical contest of theCaucasian Chalk Circle, the judge also disowns the original mother and submits the baby to the foster mother. In the next other cases, the judge coins the verdicts which are contradictory to capitalist legal system. In the case of the doctor and his patient, the case of old woman and famers, and the case of stableman and inn keeper, the judge sides the poor or down-trodden people. In court proceedings, Azdak, ridiculous judge, makes ridiculous verdict that evokes our laughter. The humor in court is so interesting that the capitalists also laugh without realizing that they are laughing at themselves. Keywords:ridiculing, communist, communal interest, religion, legal system.

Abstract

As a reflection of human experience (Meyer, 1997; Dubey, 2013), literature reflects the values which a society holds. Indonesian literature, therefore, may also reflect honesty, an important value in a society, in the literature of Indonesian people. This research is a corpus study on honesty in Indonesian literature. This study aims at knowing the meaning of honesty in Indonesia as it is reflected in its literature and identifying the motivations which drive Indonesian people to be honest. The data are sentences which use the word jujur 'honest', kejujuran 'honesty', and sejujurnya 'honestly'. The analysis reveals that honesty falls into two types, namely verbal honesty and behavioral honesty. The analysis also reveals the motivations that drive Indonesian people to talk and behave honestly.
