Full textAbstract:
Purpose The purpose of this study is to present a framework regarding the use of Sharīʿah non-compliant assets as rahn (pledge) and to provide the Sharīʿah analysis on the application of numerous collateral instruments, including financial assets such as shares, unit trusts, current accounts and investment accounts which are Sharīʿah non-compliant. Design/methodology/approach The study adopts a library-based approach to examine the concept and requirements of rahn, deliberate the classification of Sharīʿah non-compliant assets and delineate the Sharīʿah views on the use of Sharīʿah non-compliant assets as pledges. It also examines the various forms of pledge available and offered in the market using document analysis as well as through discussion with industry practitioners. Findings In general, the study concludes that Sharīʿah non-compliant assets, either due to their essence or due to the means of acquisition where there is no ownership from Sharīʿah perspective, cannot be used as rahn. This study also provides the Sharīʿah analysis on the use of modern instruments such as shares, unit trusts, current accounts, investment accounts and insurance policy as pledges. Originality/value The paper provides a reference source for regulators in formulating an appropriate policy and framework on Sharīʿah-compliant collateral; Sharīʿah committees of Islamic financial institutions in arriving at Sharīʿah decisions on collateral; and industry practitioners in establishing internal policies and procedures on collateral.

Corporate governance is a critical component relevant to firm performance. In the tourism sector, corporate governance is an underexamined issue. The purpose of the current study is to bridge this gap by examining the influence of foreign institutional investors, institutional directors, and shares pledged by directors on tourism firms’ financial performance. Data are derived from listed tourism firms in Taiwan. Ordinary least square regressions and two-stage least square regressions are used to examine the hypotheses. Results show that the presence of foreign institutional investors and a low share pledge ratio of directors have significant effects on return on assets and Tobin’s Q. The presence of institutional directors has a positive effect on Tobin’s Q. Implications for owners, policy makers, and investors are discussed.

Full textAbstract:
The article considers the issues of inheritance of privatized dwellings with encumbered rights of citizens having the right to use the living quarters; premises in houses of housing and housing co-operatives; as well as the peculiarities of inheritance of shares in the common ownership of a dwelling.
The author points out that the inheritance of privatized premises which are individually owned, carried out in a general manner. However, there are several problems associated with inheritance. In accordance with the Family Code property received by one spouse to the gratuitous transactions, is their property. Therefore, if privatization took place in the payment of certain sums of money, in this case, there is a common joint property of the spouses; if the transfer occurred gratuitously, the subject of property rights is a person with whom the contract was made.
The question of inheritance of premises in houses of housing and housing cooperatives is studied. The specifics of the legal regulation of these relations are determined by the legal status of the cooperatives themselves. In contrast to the general rule, ownership does not arise from the state registration, and upon the payment of a contribution. Regardless of state registration and whether there is a document confirming the ownership of the dwelling, after the death of a member of the construction co-operative, who payd for shares, housing is inherited under the general procedure.
The author studies the question about the features of transactions with shares in the common ownership of dwellings and residential premises belonging to the common ownership. In accordance with para. 2, Art. 246 of the Civil Code a co-owner has the discretion to sell, give, bequeath, pledge in its share or dispose of it.
It should be borne in mind that the sale and exchange shares in the common property shall be permitted only as subject to the preemptive rights of other participants in the acquisition of such shares. Housing is not recognized as common property, when it was purchased at the actual termination of the marriage, and, consequently, the other spouse does not have any rights to housing.

Full textAbstract:
In this paper, we investigate how insiders’ personal incentives and the timeliness of information revelation are related to the timing of their sales. We use a unique data set of 7,678 insider sales of listed firms in Taiwan, where insider sales exceeding 10,000 shares must be reported to the regulatory entity on an ex-ante basis so that the price pattern before announcement remains independent from insider sales and therefore closely captures insiders’ timing. We find evidence from insiders’ timing that the cumulative abnormal returns monotonically increase up to the announcement of insider sales, and decrease thereafter. Moreover, insiders’ timing and profitability are closely related to their personal incentives, as manifested in lower cash flow rights, a higher pledge ratio of holding shares for bank loans, higher control-cash flow deviation, and the condition that insiders simultaneously serve in managerial posts. Furthermore, the timeliness of information revelation affects insiders’ timing in the sense that optimistic news is revealed before the announcement whereas a decrease in earnings is revealed after the execution of insider sales. Finally, the interactions between the personal incentives of insiders and the timeliness of information revelation also have an effect on their timing and profitability.

Full textAbstract:
We examine the impact of share pledging (SP) on a firm’s innovation using a sample of Chinese firms. Our findings show that when controlling shareholders pledged their shares in personal loans, their firm’s innovation decreases. Our findings are robust for alternative metrics of innovation and SP. Additional analyses suggest that when controlling shareholders have little ownership or stock price volatility is high, the impact of SP on corporate innovation magnifies, presumably due to the high margin call risk of share against the pledged controlling shareholders. Overall, our study shows that the self-interest of controlling shareholders with pledged shares impedes corporate innovation, thereby impeding the sustainable development of society.

The application of big data in enterprise management is more and more common. With the data of A-share listed companies in Shenzhen Stock Exchange from 2014 to 2018, this paper examines the influence of controlling shareholders equity pledge on the quality of information disclosure and the moderating effect of financing constraints in the age of big data. There are two key findings. First, the controlling shareholders will take opportunistic action to reduce the quality of information disclosure so as to maintain the stock price and avoid the loss of control. And the higher the proportion of equity pledged, the stronger the incentive. Second, this phenomenon is influenced by the financing constraints, which means the negative relationship between equity pledge and the quality of information disclosure is more significant in high financing constraint enterprise than in low financing constraint enterprise. The above conclusions provide enlightenment for optimizing enterprise information disclosure in the era of big data.

Corporate insiders frequently borrow from lending institutions and pledge personal equity shares as collateral for the loan. Using manually collected pledge data for January 2007-December 2011, I examine how this phenomena affects firm investors and analyze agency conflicts between pledging managers and (a) outside shareholders, and (b) bondholders. Pledging potentially influences investor risk through changing managerial incentives and/or contingency risk from ill-timed margin calls. Findings suggest influential insiders extract private benefits of control at the expense of outside shareholders through pledging. Difference-in-differences regressions utilizing an exogenous shock to lending supply indicate pledging corresponds with a 9.9% relative increase in stock volatility – controlling for changes in fundamentals – and support a causal interpretation of the relation between pledging and equity risk. Despite apparently harming equity investors however, further analysis suggests pledging benefits bondholders, and corresponds with an economically and statistically significant reduction in yield spreads on corporate bonds. Robustness tests evidence reductions in risky financing when insiders pledge, corroborating the negative relation between pledging and cost of debt and consistent with mitigated agency conflicts between managers and bondholders.

Full textAbstract:
Les contrats civils appliqués aux actions ont pour finalité le transfert, souvent provisoire, des différents droits politiques et financiers inhérents à ces titres : les droits politiques convoités sont le droit de vote et la qualité d'actionnaire afin de devenir administrateur, si les statuts l'imposent ; les droits financiers permettent quant à eux de transmettre l'entreprise et d'utiliser les actions comme garantie. Pour opérer ces transferts, les praticiens utilisent des contrats classiques, souvent issus du Code civil, mais aussi des contrats d'inspiration civiliste qui emploient des techniques civilistes, leur empruntent une partie de leurs régimes juridiques et poursuivent les mêmes finalités. Toutefois, ces contrats ne donnent pas entière satisfaction : les uns ont un régime juridique souple mais n'offrent pas une sécurité juridique suffisante ; les autres sont au contraire fiables mais affligés d'un régime juridique contraignant. Le législateur, en instituant la fiducie, pouvait remédier à ces inconvénients. Mais si la fiducie offre une grande sécurité juridique, c'est toujours au détriment de la liberté contractuelle. Une nouvelle réforme de la fiducie est donc indispensable.

After the financial crisis shocking the world in 2018, there had been lots of fraud scandals among corporations around the world. All financial supervisions in government in the world then focused their attention on revising the relevant rule, which violating the doctrine of corporation governance to reform the market. Later, by following this trend, the congress of Republic of China (Taiwan) had reviewed the Company Act and figured out that one of the most important problem against corporation government in former rules was that corporations, which directors and supervisors usually pledged their holding share which belong to the company they employed to get more money had higher chance to trap into fraud or financial problem. Therefore, the congress tried to establish a new legal control system and revised the Company Act Article 197-1, Section 2, “In case a director of a company whose shares are issued to the public has created a pledge on the company’s shares more than half of the company’s shares being held by him/her/it at the time he/she/it is elected, the voting power of the excessive portion of shares shall not be exercised and the excessive portion of shares shall not be counted in the number of votes of shareholders present at the meeting.” in 2011. The congress hoped the new rules will enhance the corporation governance and perfect the capital market. In the meantime, the congress hoped that the new rules will avoid directors and supervisors speculating on stock and credit problem. Critical from the academia has been furious since then. Comments have suggested that the revised rules were inappropriate and law reviews have indicated that in order to apply the new rules properly, the explanation of the Company Act Article 197-1, Section 2 should be limited by the strict explanation methods. The supreme court however stands on the opposite side and takes up amplified interpretation. The supreme court makes the practice even worse than before. As referring to other countries’ rules, such as the regulation in America and United Kingdom, there is no such kind of example of legislation. Thus, it is necessary to review the Company Act Article 197-1, Section 2 again. From the viewpoint of Principle of equality of shares, Restriction of Voting Right, Performance of Enterprise, Constitutionality and Risk on the Pledge of Shares of Directors and Supervisors, the thesis analyzes the question that if it is proper to establish a new legal control system of pledging company’s share held by directors or supervisors according to the Company Act Article 197-1, Section 2? The thesis suggests it is common that directors or supervisors always pledge their holding shares which belong to the company they employed while having financing request. The thesis also suggests that by deeply thinking over the necessity and the risk of directors and supervisors pledging their holding shares which belong to the company they employed, the Company Act Article 197-1, Section 2 that the legislator revised is considered so inappropriate and should be deleted or revised. Besides, the thesis then suggests the legislator that we should consider other methods, which will eventually treat the common shareholder and shareholders who are also directors or supervisors of the company equally to prevent the problem mentioned above. Until then, the new rules and the supervision system will make the investment environment suitable to the international investment.

The final thesis deals with a share in a private limited company as a security. An introduction chapter is being followed by a chapter describing the historical development of the pledge over a share in a private company limited by shares and the securing ownership transfer on the current territory of the Czech Republic. The next chapter deals with the basic preconditions of a valid pledge contract over share. The transferability of a share, different rules for transfer contract and pledge contract and future pledge contract are being stressed. The new case law of the Supreme Court of the Czech Republic dealing with the pledge contract over shares is discussed. The following chapter inquires the problems regarding the registration of the pledge in the commercial register and protection of the good faith when dealing in trust in the data registered in the commercial register. The right to propose the registration of the pledge to the commercial register is examined. The author compares the protection of the good faith when dealing in trust in the commercial register and the land register in the fourth chapter. The possibility to acquire a pledge on a share from a non-owner and the possible acquisition of a share without any rights of third persons is considered. The possibility of acquisition of the...

Our paper addresses a gap in the capital reduction literature by investigating the relationship between the share pledges of insiders and the motivations of capital reduction and the market reaction. We suggest that capital reduction can also be a method to reduce the agency problem caused by pledge and brings benefits to all shareholders, especially shareholders who pledge their shares. High pledge ratios motivate the company to implement capital reduction. When facing the pressure of a margin call pledges strengthen the motivation to initiate a capital reduction program. CAR shows that the market generally believes that the announcement of a capital reduction is good news, and companies with weak corporate governance are more likely to be viewed as sending a positive signal since they are implementing a policy that reduces agency problems, which exceeds shareholders’ expectations.

This study examines the impact of excessive share pledge ratio on subsequent stock performance. The sample period in this study is from January, 2010 to December, 2017. The empirical results indicate that the stock returns become negative following share pledge ratio by the board of directors is more than 50% and relative share pledge ratio increases to 25%. In addition, the result also shows that the effects of excessive share pledge ratio on subsequent stock returns are different in various industries. In traditional industry and electronic industry, the excessive share pledge ratio has negative influence on subsequent stock performance. However, in financial industry, the influence of the excessive share pledge ratio on subsequent stock performance is positive in the short run. Finally, the findings are robust either using risk-adjusted returns model or using market adjusted returns model.

The international audit standards board (IAASB) has established a more rigorous format and content of audit reports to enhance the transparency of audit reports. This study mainly investigates whether the level of financial distress, ownership structure and pledged shares of the company will affect the disclosure of impairment in the key audit matters under the new audit report system. First, this study examines the effect of financial distress, ownership structure as well as pledged shares on the disclosure of impairment related key audit matters. Empirical results show that the higher the level of financial distress, the higher likelihood for auditors to disclose the key items related to impairment. Also, more items and words of key audit matters related to impairment are disclosed. This study also finds the negative effect of the ownership and the pledged shares of directors and supervisors as well as the concentrated ownership of the controlling shareholders on the number of items (words) in the impairment related key audit matters.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter characterizes meanings in terms of certain generative procedures. We can begin to locate the natural phenomenon of linguistic meaning by focusing on (Chomsky-style) examples of constrained homophony. Two or more lexical items can connect distinct meanings with the same pronunciation; and phrases like ‘ready to please’ are similarly homophonous. But as ‘eager to please’ and ‘easy to please’ illustrate, phrasal homophony is constrained. Such facts provide important clues about what meanings are, and how they can(not) be combined. The details provide reasons for identifying the languages that children naturally acquire with biologically implemented procedures, and not sets of expressions. There are English procedures; but English is not a thing that speakers share and use to communicate. In this context, some initial reasons are given for doubting that the relevant procedures generate sentences that have truth conditions.

Abstract Despite all the criticisms, the revelation of its negative, as well as positive, impacts on destinations and, most recently, the appearance of the media-generated phenomenon of overtourism, tourism has continued to grow and to spread globally, often, it would appear, without formal direction or control, and to diversify into an increasing number of sub-forms. This chapter discusses this pattern of development and some of the enabling forces that have influenced and shaped tourism and its effects, and comments on some key issues that warrant further examination. These include the pattern of development in destinations, the determinants of the spatial spread of tourism, the fallacies that have grown up around tourism and the lack of influence of academia on the phenomenon despite decades of study. In conclusion, some thought is given to potential future issues and directions for the development of tourism.

Full textAbstract:
Chapter 4 begins by noting that contemporary discourse on the economic crisis is profoundly shaped by the language of horror and fear. To understand why, this chapter turns to four post-crisis horror films that explicitly link fear, foreclosure, and financialized credit: Drag Me to Hell (dir. Sam Raimi), Dream Home (dir. Pang Ho-cheung), Mother’s Day (dir. Darren Lynn Bousman), and Crawlspace (dir. Josh Stolberg). All four films take up real estate lending, mortgage speculation, and foreclosure risk and locate horror in the “dead pledge” of the mortgage. Using horror and the home-invasion genre to explore the shifting understandings of ownership consequent to the housing crisis, these films frighteningly literalize the doctrine of caveat emptor. Exploring the relationship between “paying back” and “payback,” they suggest that introduction of speculative risk has shifted the social force of credit contracts from the promise of trust to the threat of revenge.

Full textAbstract:
Chapter one identifies the temperance movement as a significant and neglected origin of mass printing and distribution, mass rallies and festivities, and the dynamic relation between them. Traveling booksellers opened new networks throughout Britain and the U.S., pointing consumers toward sober spaces and “experience” meetings in which reformed drunkards told their stories. The movement’s most successful activity, the administration of a pledge not to drink, recruited thousands – sometimes, tens of thousands -- at a time. Every pledge-taker received a card resembling a modern diploma, or a medal or printed ribbon, to memorialize his or her commitment. Charged with affect, this ephemera memorialized the live event, resurrecting its intensive collective feeling in moments of later struggle. Like the ephemera, the performances of the transatlantic celebrity temperance orator, John B. Gough, famous for his ability to generate intense feeling in his mass audiences, shaped auratic rituals. The movement’s aesthetics of sobriety, shaped by a counter-aesthetic of intoxication, helped organize the affective responses of its consumers.

This chapter reviews the use of land (or legal and equitable property rights relating to land) as security for the repayment of money by a borrower to a lender. It also describes charging orders, the use of which increases in the context of the recession. There are four types of security interest: the pledge; the lien; the mortgage; and the charge. The borrower holds the equity of redemption under a classic mortgage by conveyance or sub-demise, but its continued relevance under the predominant legal charge by way of mortgage is questionable. It is observed that the domestic lending market has seen the development of Islamic mortgages, the emergence of shared-ownership schemes, and equity release schemes.

Although AIDS direct action is generally described as beginning with ACT UP, it first developed as activists drew tactics and ideas from Central American solidarity and the anti-nuclear movement. Anti-militarism catalyzed AIDS direct action in the Bay Area; its influences appeared in 1984, took on force in 1986, and by 1987 shaped national networks of AIDS activism. The groups Citizens for Medical Justice and the AIDS Action Pledge paved the way for the formation of ACT UP/San Francisco and Stop AIDS Now Or Else. AIDS direct action stood as the culmination of the gay and lesbian left even as it marked the start of a new queer politics. However, these radical genealogies were obscured with the deaths of many activists.

This chapter debunks the triumphalist claim that President Reagan launched the Strategic Defense Initiative so as to compel Moscow to surrender the arms race, if not collapse. In fact, the president hoped SDI would protect civilians from nuclear attack and considered the program a key part of his plan to eliminate nuclear weapons. Reagan repeatedly offered to share SDI with the Soviets in the belief that if both sides had defenses nuclear weapons would become obsolete. Thus, they could be eliminated. President Reagan’s revolutionary ideas about nuclear security caused deep rifts within the administration. His advisers rejected the notion that nuclear arms should or could be eliminated, believing instead that the threat of nuclear annihilation had successfully deterred the Soviets from attacking the West. With the exception of Defense Secretary Caspar Weinberger, they opposed the costly SDI. However, they grudgingly came to support it in the belief that they might be able to trade it away in exchange for a Soviet pledge to reduce its arsenals. However, Reagan’s advisers were universally against the idea of sharing SDI with Moscow. If Reagan’s objective had been to compel Moscow to surrender the arms race, he would not have repeatedly offered to share SDI.

Drawing on an exceptional collection of church admission relations from the town of Haverhill, Massachusetts, Part 1 examines the widely shared religious vocabulary through which Congregational church membership candidates during the period between 1680 and 1740 pledged to "walk answerably" to their doctrinal professions in the hope that a vengeful deity would not pour out affliction on their bodies, families, and communities. The multiple demands of a "Godly Walk" entailed spiritualizing everyday occurrences, meditating in secret, baptizing children in a timely fashion, and raising them in church fellowship. During the early decades of the eighteenth century, the rhythms of church affiliation were closely tied to family formation and social maturation, and women emerged as the primary source of religious authority. A godly walk was the key to safety and prosperity in this world, if not salvation in the next.

Full textAbstract:
Web-based online newspapers have become a very popular way to share information as well as to allow users to comment news and each other's comments. In such environments some users play a prominent role and eventually influence other users thus leading discussions as they please. So far, there is no way of identifying and quantifying such influence. This paper proposes and analyzes a methodology for identifying influential users that builds implicit social networks upon users who post comments in the same news, suggests three different ways of identifying influential users and measures influence based on similarity of comments. We applied it to data collected from a Brazilian online newspaper and results confirm its effectiveness by revealing a significant similarity between comments of identified influential users and the remaining ones.

Abstract Owing to the COVID situation and transfer of manuscripts from ITSC 2020; this paper presents a shortened version of experiments and results that were recently published in a standard journal. For more details; please refer to the source [1]. Numerous obstacles are still to be resolved before power sources based on nuclear fusion could be employed. One of the major challenges are the materials used for construction of the main reactor vessels. In tokamaks; torus-shaped fusion facilities confining the hot plasma by strong magnetic fields; the innermost chambers are to be coated with dense coatings of W-based alloys. So far; the attempts for such coatings formation by other methods failed due to oxidation; high porosity; insufficient adhesion; high specific surface; or even insufficient thickness below 10 μm. Cold spraying seems a promising technology for the task. Here we demonstrate a successful fabrication of thick W; W-Cr and W-Cr-Ti coatings prepared without oxidation of the metals. For the first time in history; a deposition of 80 μm-thick coating of pure W was achieved.

Full textAbstract:
In 2009, the transportation sector was the second largest consumer of primary energy in the United States, following the electric power sector and followed by the industrial, residential, and commercial sectors. The pattern of energy use varies by sector. For example, petroleum provides 96% of the energy used for transportation but its share is much less in other sectors. While the United States consumes vast quantities of energy, it has also pledged to cut its greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. In order to assist in planning for future energy needs, the purpose of this study is to develop a model for transport energy demand that incorporates past trends. This paper describes the development of two types of transportation energy models which are able to predict the United States’ future transportation energy-demand. One model uses an artificial neural network technique (a feed-forward multilayer perceptron neural network coupled with back-propagation technique), and the other model uses a multiple linear regression technique. Various independent variables (including GDP, population, oil price, and number of vehicles) are tested. The future transport energy demand can then be forecast based on the application of the growth rate of effective parameters on the models. The future trends of independent variables have been predicted based on the historical data from 1980 using a regression method. Using the forecast of independent variables, the energy demand has been forecasted for period of 2010 to 2030. In terms of the forecasts generated, the models show two different trends despite their performances being at the same level during the model-test period. Although, the results from the regression models show a uniform increase with different slopes corresponding to different models for energy demand in the near future, the results from ANN express no significant change in demand in same time frame. Increased sensitivity of the ANN models to the recent fluctuations caused by the economic recession may be the reason for the differences with the regression models which predict based on the total long-term trends. Although a small increase in the energy demand in the transportation sector of the United States has been predicted by the models, additional factors need to be considered regarding future energy policy. For example, the United States may choose to reduce energy consumption in order to reduce CO2 emissions and meet its national and international commitments, or large increases in fuel efficiency may reduce petroleum demand.

Building on the 2019 ACRL/SPARC Forum on Collective Reinvestment in Open Infrastructure, this program will explore how libraries can make different commitments to fund content created by open infrastructures. Library collections increasingly promote and reflect such open content and many have chosen to contribute to funding those products. There is not one formula or roadmap to underwrite the publishing and distribution costs of these open resources. There are many variables and considerations as some open content corresponds to serials and others are books or monographs. Open access content is increasingly found in nearly all subject areas, as scholarly publishing models have evolved. Open access does not come without a price to create, maintain and preserve the outputs. Libraries are reconsidering whether they want to commit so much to purchase materials or subscription-based products, when it is unclear what the anticipated use of any materials will be over time. Planning and opportunities for new and more flexible decisions concerning adjustments to and expenditures of the materials budget are under exploration by libraries. There are many options to invest in creating more content to be released as open access. Such options include contributing financially from the Library collections or materials budget to subsidizing or covering APCs, engaging in a more “library as publisher” model hosting journals, publishing books, creating OERs, and offsetting other expenses that ultimately drive a more intensive open infrastructure. Library leaders and partners will share their ideas about trying different approaches to contribute to more open publishing initiatives and explore whether efforts in deploying current book and serial costs to offset opportunities to build a wider and more open infrastructure is on the horizon. This analysis should incorporate the costs of analytical tools necessary to the use of such content in today’s research. Questions will be solicited ahead of time to reflect audience’s interest in such a rethinking of the library collections budget. Please email Julia Gelfand at with your questions.

Full textAbstract:
• Renewable energy (RE) projects in Indonesia usually have IRR between 10% and 15% and PP around 6 to 30 years • Attractive return usually could be found in large scale RE projects, although there are numerous other factors involved including technology developments, capacity scale, power purchasing price agreements, project locations, as well as interest rates and applied incentives. • Crowdfunding (CF) has big potential to contribute to the financing of RE projects especially financing small scale RE projects. • P2P lending usually targeted short-term loans with high interest rates. Therefore, it cannot be employed as an alternative financing for RE projects in Indonesia. • Three types of CF that can be employed as an alternative for RE project funding in Indonesia. Namely, securities, reward, and donation-based CF. In addition, hybrid models such as securities-reward and reward-donation could also be explored according to the project profitability. • Several benefits offer by securities crowdfunding (SCF) compared to conventional banking and P2P lending, as follows: (1) issuer do not need to pledge assets as collateral; (2) do not require to pay instalment each month; (3) issuer share risks with investors with no obligation to cover the investor’s loss; (4) applicable for micro, small, medium, enterprises (MSMEs) with no complex requirements; and (5) there is possibility to attract investors with bring specific value. • Several challenges that need to be tackled such as the uncertainty of RE regulations; (1) issuer’s inability in managing the system and business; (2) the absence of third parties in bridging between CF platform and potential issuer from RE project owner; (3) the lack of financial literacy of the potential funders; and (4) lastly the inadequacy of study regarding potential funders in escalating the RE utilisation in Indonesia.
