Analisis Dampak Kebijakan Insentif Fiskal Terhadap Tingkat Komponen Dalam Negeri (Tkdn) Industri Manufaktur Di Indonesia, Muhammad Muhammad, Riyanto Riyanto

Jurnal Kebijakan Ekonomi

Over the last decade, the manufacturing sector's contribution to Indonesia's economy has declined. In 2010, it was 29.10% of GDP, but by 2022, it had dropped to 19.14%. Employment in the sector also fell, from 14.91% of the workforce in 2010 to 13.80% in 2022. To reverse this trend, the government introduced a policy to boost the Domestic Component Level (DCL) in manufacturing. By offering fiscal incentives to industries meeting certain DCL targets, the government aims to drive economic growth and job creation. A study using BPS data from 2008-2019 shows that this policy raised DCL by 23.5%.

What’S In A Name?: Transgender People’S Affirming And Invalidating Experiences With Preferred Names, Narciso Quildey-Rodriguez

International Nursing Research Congress (INRC)

Transgender and nonbinary (TNB) people’s gender identity differs from the sex they were assigned at birth. Approximately 1.6 million people identify as TNB in the US. Affirmation, the process of acknowledging a person’s gender identity, plays a significant role in the mental health and well-being of TNB people by reducing feelings of isolation, dysphoria, and anxiety. Invalidation, which occurs when a person’s gender identity is denied, can have significant adverse effects on the mental and emotional well-being of TNB people. This presentation explores TNB people's affirmative and invalidating experiences related to using preferred names and pronouns. Twenty semi-structured interviews with …

A Systematic Review Of Artificial Intelligence And Nursing Education: What Do We Know?, Rayhanah R. Almutairi
