Indonesian construction consulting services are facing a complex problem in fulfilling the nation's expectations regarding high quality infrastructure development and the construction industry's competitiveness. A study of this problem and a formulation of solutions to improve the situation are presented in this paper. A survey was carried out in Jakarta, West Java, East Java, and North Sumatra provinces to collect data related to this problem. A focus group discussion and a workshop with all stakeholders were conducted to formulate improvement actions that need to be taken. It was revealed that the problems faced include, among others, the limited number of professional engineers compared to the number of national consultancy companies, the uneven distribution of engineers in Indonesian regions, an imperfect procurement system, and low-quality work output in general. Recommended actions include improvement of the government's role in consulting services nurturing and facilitation, development of partnerships, and amelioration of the professional engineer and consultant certification system.

Is Africa getting the right advice? Or are the general framework conditions under which donor TC and private consulting services are delivered ineffective and deeply flawed? (D+C/DÜI)

Abstract: Technology has an important role in human life. The rapid advancement of telecommunications technology has influenced the world of medicine. One of them is the use of telemedicine in health consultations between doctors and patients. Telemedicine is a long-distance health service by health professionals using information and communication technology. Telemedicine can provide various conveniences in conducting health consultations. However, problems arise related to the implementation of this telemedicine, including problems related to the legal aspects of telemedicine. The purpose of this study was to determine the legal aspects of telemedicine in Indonesia and the liability of doctors in the event of adverse effects resulting from treatment through telemedicine consultation. The research method in this paper is normative juridical. This article describes various problems related to the implementation of telemedicine as well as legal aspects related to telemedicine services in Indonesia. Based on observations, there are no unequivocal legal regulations regarding the implementation of telemedicine in Indonesia, such as the legality of practice permits, legality of practice sites, medical records, data accuracy, medical approval, confidentiality and security of patient data. So that effort are needed from the government through the Ministry of Health to pay more attention to telemedicine problems and make clear and firm legal rules to frame the implementation of telemedicine in Indonesia.

This nonfictional case of inventory fraud in a university setting exposes students to fraud detection and investigation. These skills are becoming increasingly important for auditors, as evidenced by the alarming rate of fraud. The accounting profession has acknowledged the seriousness of this issue with the issuance of SAS No. 82, Consideration of Fraud in a Financial Statement Audit, developed in part to improve detection of frauds by auditors. The case raises many of the fraud-related issues faced by accountants: recognizing red flags indicative of fraud; the importance of a good system of internal controls; the profile of the typical fraud perpetrator; the fine line auditors walk when investigating a fraud; the need to develop an audit team with the appropriate level of expertise which may require members from a variety of disciplines (e.g., investigative, legal and forensic areas); and the difficulty of obtaining sufficient evidence to prosecute and convict perpetrators.

We investigated whether or not physiological signals reflect the effectiveness of a psychological consultation. Participants (N = 108 college students) rated the quality of a consulting service. We recorded their vital signs before and after the consultation session, and eye-related
signals during the consulting process. Results of paired samples t tests showed that body temperature, heart rate, and blood pressure had changed significantly after the consultation and degree of the changes was closely correlated with the participants' subjective ratings. Further,
results of a 1-way analysis of variance showed that the change in eye-blinking rate and frequency of pupil size fluctuation were aligned with the consulting session outcome. Our results indicate that vital signs and eye-related signals are effective measures to evaluate the effectiveness of
psychological consulting services.
