One indicator of this implementation based on POJK No 51/2017 is the availability of integrated reports (financial reports and sustainability reports) that can be accessed by the public. This paper aims to explain the essence of implementing sustainability strategy through adopting integrated reporting schemes in the company. Therefore, the company does not only implement it to the extent of fulfilling the demands of the government, but for the benefit of the company in the long term. The author uses a quantitative and qualitative analysis approach with the variable earnings per share and the growth of the company's stock price in the sector of financial services institutions and public companies. Furthermore, the author also analyses the fundamental weakness of the integrated reporting systematics which makes it difficult to compare between companies. This paper offers a universal measurement standard that can be used by external and internal parties of the company in assessing how far the company is implementing its sustainability strategy through creating integrated reports. This standard will prove the company's ability to maintain its business continuity in the long term and affect its current valuation. However, it cannot be denied that the sustainability strategy launched by the Indonesian government still has several weaknesses. Therefore, this paper also answer the challenges of the role of accountants in Indonesia in implement sustainability accounting, especially in adopting integrated reporting scheme.","PeriodicalId":50833,"journal":{"name":"Ajar-African Journal of Aids Research","volume":"239 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2022-02-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75767035","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Several studies have highlighted reasons for the acceptance and non-acceptance of child male circumcision. This study investigates the factors that influence parental decision-making in this matter and proposes a parental decision-making framework. The study was conducted in the townships of Diepsloot and Diepkloof in Gauteng, South Africa, using 48 in-depth interviews with parents, grandparents and uncles of the boys, as well as government officials and members of civil society as part of an explorative case study. Purposive and snowball sampling were used to select the participants. Thematic analysis was used to analyse the data by applying the conceptual framework of Bronfenbrenner’s ecological systems theory. Three main themes emerged from the data: microsystem factors related to health and hygiene, the father’s circumcision status, cultural expectations, pain, the child’s autonomy and the extended family; mesosystem factors related to early childhood development centres; and exosystem factors related to circumcision policies and financial considerations.","PeriodicalId":50833,"journal":{"name":"Ajar-African Journal of Aids Research","volume":"21 1","pages":"32 - 40"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2022-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44556215","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study determined the overall prevalence of HIV testing among the youth and the factors associated with HIV testing. Methods: Data were analysed for 1 834 young people from the 2016–2017 Swaziland HIV Incidence Measurement Survey (SHIMS2) using multivariable logistic regression. Results: Overall, 66% of the young people had tested for HIV in the past 12 months before SHIMS2. Lower odds of HIV testing were observed among males, among those aged 15–17 years, the never married/cohabited, those with primary and secondary education, and among those who had high perceived stigma towards people living with HIV and AIDS. Youth from households classified in the poor and middle quintiles had higher odds of testing for HIV compared to those from rich households. Conclusion: Efforts to increase HIV testing should consider the sociodemographic and behavioural factors identified as determinants of HIV non-testing in this age group.","PeriodicalId":50833,"journal":{"name":"Ajar-African Journal of Aids Research","volume":"21 1","pages":"41 - 48"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2022-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44748324","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A multi-site cross-sectional study was conducted from 1 to 30 August 2020. Adults with HIV and who fulfilled the inclusion criteria were considered. A systematic random sampling technique with proportional size allocation was employed. Data were collected using a modified EQ-5D and EQ-VAS tool. The analysis was done using SPSS version 26. Non-parametric statistical analyses were done using Mann–Whitney U, Kruskal–Wallis and Spearman’s correlation tests. A p-value ≤ 0.05 and 95% confidence level were considered for analysis. The majority of the clients were from health centres (58%), were 43 years old or less (54%), and were males (63%). Pain/discomfort and depression/anxiety were the most prominent dimensions in the age group above 43 years. The mean score of EQ-5D index values was 0.87 (SD 0.05; 95% CI 0.86–0.87) and that of EQ-VAS was 81 (SD 15; 95% CI 80–83). About 38% and 43% of the clients showed an altered health state of some degree in functional and current overall status respectively. Comorbidity, history of current substance use, facility type, social support and sleep disturbance showed a statistically significant association with both outcomes. A considerable proportion of clients have altered functional and overall health status, with pain/discomfort and depression/anxiety most affected. Inclusion of multidisciplinary treatments for HIV and the highlighting of psychosocial issues that are likely among this group are warranted.","PeriodicalId":50833,"journal":{"name":"Ajar-African Journal of Aids Research","volume":"21 1","pages":"15 - 22"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2022-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43021564","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study examined the relationship between the frequency of exposure to the media and the level of HIV-related knowledge and stigmatising attitudes towards HIV and AIDS among adults in Ghana. A weighted sample of 13 484 men and women 15 to 59 years old took part in the study. The main outcome variable was the HIV-related knowledge score, calculated based on responses to eight questions about general HIV concepts and HIV transmission modes. The frequency of exposure to the media was the primary explanatory variable. The relationship between the frequency of media exposure and the level of HIV-related knowledge was investigated using Poisson regression methods in Stata 13.0. Of the 13 484 respondents analysed, 25%, 88.2% and 79.7% reported reading print media, listening to the radio and watching TV at least once a week respectively. The average HIV-related knowledge score was 4.9 (SD 1.6), with 22.9% of respondents correctly answering five questions and about 2.0% correctly answering all eight questions. The frequency of exposure to the media, particularly print media and television, was associated with an increase in the level of HIV-related knowledge. When compared to having a low level of HIV-related knowledge, having a moderate and high level of HIV-related knowledge reduced the score of stigmatising attitude by 0.065 and 0.277 points, respectively. The adult population in Ghana has a very low level of HIV or AIDS knowledge, as well as a significant level of stigma associated with HIV or AIDS, which could stymie HIV prevention efforts. The media, on the other hand, provide a platform for these issues to be addressed.","PeriodicalId":50833,"journal":{"name":"Ajar-African Journal of Aids Research","volume":"21 1","pages":"49 - 57"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2022-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48770577","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
