    DOI: 10.22304/pjih.v8n3.a2

    Abstract:

    Fraud is a systematic crime that has a very broad impact. It can happen in any fields, including in hospitals. Fraud is a form of corruption. Hospital is a health service institution. Corruption in hospitals has the potential to lead to ineffective health services for people. The phenomenon of health care fraud in hospital is an indication the law does not function in accordance with the objective. This study aims to determine the functionalization of law and sentence for fraudulent acts as a form of corruption in hospitals based on justice values. This study is a descriptive study with normative juridical method that employed statutory and conceptual approaches. The data were collected through a literature study. It was subsequently analyzed qualitatively. This study is of the position to view that prosecution of criminal acts of corruption requires functionalization of law. The functionalization of law must be interpreted as positioning everything in its proper place. It is the synergy of the legal system, which consists of formulative, judicial, and executive policies. The criminal procedures can apply the punishment system for perpetrators of fraudulent acts in hospitals that includes extended alternative punishment. © 2021, Padjadjaran University.

    Efficient Autonomous Road Vehicles Local Path Planning Strategy in Dynamic Urban Environment Using Rrt-Acs, Bi-Directional Rule Templates, and Configuration Time-Space

    Authors: Muhammad Aria Rajasa Pohan, Jana Utama

    Abstract

    This study aims to present an effective local path-planning strategy for Autonomous Vehicles (AVs) operating in a dynamic urban environment. The method combines bi-directional rule templates, configuration time-space, and RRT-ACS algorithm (hybridization of rapidly exploring random tree star with ant colony system). The use of RRT-ACS accelerates the convergence of feasible pathway planning. Path quality is improved using bi-directional rule templates derived from dynamic urban environment traffic scenarios and combining the RRT-ACS algorithm with configuration time-space. The resulting technique, RRT+BRT+CTS (RRT-ACS with two-way rule template and configuration space-time), emerged as a major research breakthrough. Several simulations of dynamic urban environmental conditions are used to validate the effectiveness of the RRT+BRT+CTS. Comparisons were made with two well-known path-planning algorithms used in dynamic urban environments: Fast RRT and Closed Loop RRT (CL-RRT). The simulation results demonstrate the superior performance of the proposed strategy for local path planning in dynamic environments regarding speed and efficiency for AVs. As a result, the proposed strategy is a suitable choice for addressing the complex challenges of Avs’s urban navigation. © School of Engineering, Taylor’s University.

    Abstract

    This study aims to see how improved organizational culture, managerial espouse, and internal command affect the success of accounting information systems (AIS) in small and medium-sized businesses. A descriptive and verified technique using a quantitative approach was adopted. The pattern uses 30 patterns from small and medium organizations that carry out accounting records systems. Multiple linear regression analysis is employed as the analytical method, and T-test is used to evaluate the speculation partially. According to the findings, corporate culture substantially impacts the success of the AIS. The backing of top management substantially impacts the accounting information system (AIS)’s success. Internal control significantly impacts the success of an AIS since the more robust the organizational culture, the better the present AIS will be. The results are expected to provide solutions or solve problems related to AIS that are unavailable, not on time, and experiencing issues in carrying out their functions so that the AIS could be more optimal. Through this research, it can also be helpful to provide an overview and proof that many factors influence the success of the AIS, so these factors must be considered and improved to realize the goals of small and medium enterprises, namely, to improve people’s welfare. © School of Engineering, Taylor’s University.
