2025-03-08T02:38:56+00:00

The rapid expansion of digital health services and telemedicine introduces new dimensions to competition law enforcement in healthcare. This paper explores strategic recommendations to enhance Indonesia's competition law in healthcare by focusing on strengthening regulatory institutions, improving judicial consistency, fostering private enforcement mechanisms, and developing targeted policies for emerging digital health markets. This study employs a comparative legal analysis approach, integrating qualitative and normative research methods, to examine the effectiveness of existing competition law frameworks governing healthcare in the United States and Indonesia, identifying best practices, challenges, and opportunities for improvement. The findings reveal stark contrasts in competition law enforced between the two countries, particularly in market concentration, regulatory oversight, judicial intervention, and private litigation mechanisms. By adopting a framework that fosters industry sustainability while preventing anti-competitive behavior, Indonesia can create a more competitive, innovative, and accessible healthcare system that benefits both pharmaceutical companies and consumers alike.

APPLICATION OF THE ROLLING PERIOD FORMULA IN DETERMINING METACENTRIC HEIGHT (GM) FOR SHIP STABILITY A CASE STUDY OF THE TRAINING SHIP SULTAN HASANUDDIN

2025-03-03T08:31:07+00:00

The Sultan Hasanuddin Training Ship of PIP Makassar was selected as the research object for this study. The study aims to analyze the stability of the ship by focusing on calculating the metacentric height (GM) value based on the moment of static stability, incorporating both manual methods and computer applications that generate GM values as indicators of seaworthiness according to the Intact Stability Code. The research method used in this study is a case study that involves descriptive, numerical, and comparative analysis of various ship parameters, including the length, width, and inside the ship, as well as other measurements required in the stability calculation. The GM calculation is carried out using the static stability moment approach and compared with the results of recording the ship's rolling period. The results show that the GM value generated from the calculation of the existing static stability moments, if deducted from the total value of the Virtual Loss of GM due to the inertia moment in the slack tanks, will produce an effective GM worth that is used as the basis for the ship stability benchmark. This research could contribute significantly to improving safety protocols and design standards in maritime operations. The benefits of this research include providing theoretical information for lecturers and cadets of PIP and commercial shipping officers, enriching teaching materials on ship construction and stability, and promoting a safety culture by offering practical information to estimate ship stability conditions before more detailed calculations are made.

ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL SYSTEM STABILITY IN INDONESIA: A PRINCIPAL COMPONENT ANALYSIS APPROACH

2025-03-04T07:43:29+00:00

This study uses Principal Component Analysis (PCA) to analyze the stability of Indonesia's financial system using 15 indicators from banking financial institutions and financial markets. The PCA technique is applied to each variable included in the components of bank financial institutions or non-bank financial institutions into several main factors that have the same variant value. The first principal component (PC1) successfully captured around 38 percent of the total variability and became the dominant indicator for financial system stability in Indonesia. In addition, from the banking financial institution indicators, NIM and LDR became factors that had quite an influence on PC1, indicating that profitability and banking intermediation activities still played a role in the dynamics of financial system. Furthermore, the interplay between Credit Default Swaps (CDS), exchange rates, and stock market indicators like the IHGS could provide deeper insights into how these elements influence investor sentiment and overall financial stability. Therefore, more comprehensive policy steps are needed to strengthen the resilience of the financial system, including stabilizing the bond market, managing exchange rate risk, and strengthening monetary and macroprudential policies to face future economic uncertainty.

LIABILITY FOR COMPENSATION ON HOSPITALS DUE TO HEALTH WORKFORCE NEGLIGENCE (A CRITIQUE)

2025-03-04T07:19:16+00:00

This research examines the implications of Article 193 of Law No. 17 of 2023 concerning Health, which imposes sole liability on hospitals for negligence by health workers. This provision raises concerns about fairness and justice, as it deviates from established principles of shared accountability in Indonesian civil law. The study aims to critique this legal framework, assess its alignment with international standards, and explore its impact on healthcare delivery. Using a descriptive method, the research analyzes legal documents, case law, and relevant literature to understand the complexities of liability in healthcare. The findings reveal that Article 193 undermines the principles of distributive, retributive, and compensatory justice, potentially eroding trust in the legal system and discouraging hospitals from providing high-risk services. Furthermore, the study highlights that this one-sided liability can create an adversarial relationship between hospital management and health workers, ultimately harming patient care. The implications of this research suggest the need for legal reforms that promote shared accountability among healthcare providers and individual practitioners. By advocating for a reassessment of Article 193, the study aims to inform policymakers and legal professionals on creating a balanced liability framework that fosters a collaborative healthcare environment and enhances patient safety.
