Term Limit Effects In Indonesia: Local Government Revenue Vs. Spending, Hanik Susilawati Muamarah Jun 2026

Term Limit Effects In Indonesia: Local Government Revenue Vs. Spending, Hanik Susilawati Muamarah

Jurnal Akuntansi dan Keuangan Indonesia

Background: The term limit of local leaders creates a puzzle between the "lame-duck effect" (declining performance) and the "competence effect" (improved performance). This study contextualizes this dilemma within the Indonesian context, which has strong incentives for non-re-election, such as the formation of political dynasties. We investigate this puzzle by examining the relationship between term-limited leaders and two distinct fiscal policy areas: regulation-bound tax revenue and discretionary capital expenditure. Methods: A fixed-effects model was employed to analyze panel data from 438 regencies and municipalities from 2017 to 2023. Findings: In the high-discretion area of spending, term-limited leaders increase capital expenditure, supporting …

Accurate estimation of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from oil and gas (O&G) systems is essential for strengthening Malaysia’s national greenhouse gas inventory and supporting its Nationally Determined Contributions (NDC) under the Paris Agreement. Current inventory estimates rely predominantly on Tier 1 default emission factors, which may not adequately represent country-specific operating conditions and gas characteristics. This study develops Tier 2 country-specific emission factors (CSEF) for venting, flaring, and all other fugitive emissions across Malaysia’s O&G systems. Emission factors were derived from gas composition based on operational data collected over five years from major O&G assets, representing over 80% of fugitive …

Platform: A Journal of Engineering

Lime stabilisation is a widely used ground improvement technique for enhancing the engineering performance of problematic fine-grained soils. This review summarises recent studies on the mechanisms of lime stabilisation and their effect on the engineering properties and microstructural behaviour of stabilised soils. Lime treatment improves soil performance through cation exchange, flocculation, and pozzolanic reactions, resulting in the formation of cementitious compounds such as calcium silicate hydrate (CSH) and calcium aluminate hydrate (CAH). These reactions reduce plasticity and swelling while improving strength and durability. The review also discusses the influence of soil type, lime content, and curing period on the effectiveness …

With growing global concern over climate risk, high-carbon enterprises are assuming an increasingly critical role in strengthening climate resilience and fostering low-carbon development. However, how climate risk disclosure shapes their carbon performance—specifically through what mechanisms and pathways—remains a pivotal yet underexplored question. To address this gap, this study constructs a panel dataset comprising Chinese listed high-carbon companies over the period 2006–2022 and employs a two-way fixed-effects econometric model to assess how climate risk disclosure affects carbon performance while investigating the underlying mediating channel. The empirical results provide robust evidence that enhanced climate risk disclosure improves the carbon performance of high-carbon …

Enhancement Of Gas Turbine Efficiency By Using Recuperator And Intercooler Systems, Mohammed Saad Kamil

Al-Esraa University College Journal for Engineering Sciences

High power density and operational flexibility make gas turbines an indispensable part of contemporary energy conversion systems. However, in the simple cycle configuration, the thermal efficiency is generally low because the exhaust heat loss is large and the compression work is high. The current investigation is focused on enhancing the thermal efficiency of a gas turbine by the introduction of two augmentation schemes, namely a recuperator and an intercooler. A numerical and thermal simulation study was carried out to model the gas turbine cycle based on the first and second laws of thermodynamics. Simplicity and Modified cycles Performance of simple …
