Indonesia is a country blessed with abundant natural resources, which one of them is coal. Coal is a mined resource that supports most of the domestic energy activities such as electricity and industrial production, where the government ensures the availability and affordability of coal for domestic use, known as the Domestic Market Obligation (DMO). The Coal Reference Price (HBA) is the monthly average price determined by the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources based on local and international market indexes, while the coal price for electricity needs is capped at 70 USD/MT by the government. The DMO determines the minimum amount of coal sold by coal mining companies to the Indonesian local market.
This study aims to analyze the effect of capping price policies and the application of coal DMO mediated by the implementation of Good Corporate Governance (GCG) on the profitability of coal mining companies in Indonesia. The data used in this study were sourced from the financial statements of coal mining companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange during the period of 2017 to 2021. The sample for this study used 10 out of the total 28 coal mining companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange, and path analysis was used to test hypotheses and analyze the relationships between variables. Panel data regression analysis was used to test the hypotheses in this study.
The results show that the capping price policy and the application of coal DMO, mediated by the implementation of GCG, have a significant positive effect on the profitability of coal mining companies in Indonesia. This finding has important implications for policymakers in evaluating existing policies and considering their impact on the profitability of coal mining companies in Indonesia while still considering the use of coal for the benefit of all Indonesian people.

This study aims to examine bankruptcy in which a debtor who has financial difficulties has to pay his debts to two debtors who are due and declared bankrupt by a court decision that has permanent legal force. In the process of matching receivables between bankrupt creditors and debtors. In debt/receivable matching meetings attended by curators, creditors, bankrupt debtors and supervisory judges, there are often disputes over the amount owed/receivable from bankrupt debtors/creditors which raises legal issues up to filing lawsuits to determine the amount owed/receivables of bankrupt debtors/creditors to the commercial court . In this study, the authors used a type of library research (Library research).
The results of the research Internal audit which has recalculated all of PT Pertamina EP's receivables to PT Geo Cepu Indonesia as a bankrupt debtor found a difference in the amount owed/accounted by the debtor from the amount of debt that had been recognized previously and submitted a procedure renvoi based on recalculations carried out by the internal audit company PT Pertamina EP to PT Geo Cepu Indonesia as the bankrupt debtor. The implementation of the procedure review, the internal audit did not confirm or verify with the internal audit of the bankrupt debtor company, namely PT Geo Cepu Indonesia, so that it was impressed that the procedure proposed by PT Pertamina EP was a unilateral determination of the amount owed/receivable by the bankrupt debtor/creditor. Based on Articles 115-118 of Law no. 37 of 2004 concerning Bankruptcy and PKPU where any change in the amount owed/receivable from a bankrupt debtor or creditor must obtain prior approval from the bankrupt debtor and by the curator by verifying the revoi procedure and must also be properly recorded by the curator. The legal considerations of the Supreme Court panel of judges who rejected the cassation of the procedural renvoi submitted by PT Pertamina EP are appropriate because the procedural renvoi submission must first be based on verification between the creditor submitting the procedural renvoi and the bankrupt debtor and supported by authentic evidence.

This article discusses the importance of successful communication between people in the use of language, especially those learning a given foreign language. As a language teaching professional, I believe that a good usage of the language is what leads to successful communication. By “good usage”, here we mean some degree of communicative competencein the practice of a foreign language, with some coherence in order to be understood by your interlocutor, i.e. your heareror reader.
Foreign language learners, who practice the language through different interactions, as encouraged by good models from teachers / facilitators, are the ones that are likely to achieve successful communication, which implies communicative competence through communicative approach in the learning process. Good interaction between the two parties in communication, i.e. the speaker and the hearer, the writer and the reader, or between those using sign language, implies successful communication as long as the message passes from the source to the receiver, despite some language errors that may occur therein.
Keywords: Language, communication, communicative competence, communicative approach, interaction, teacher, learners.

Triage is the first contact between the user and the Emergency Service (SU), thus being a crucial process in terms of management. This must be carried out in the most effective way possible, so that we can better manage the available resources, giving priority to those most in need.
Increasingly, the number of users exceeds the available response capacity, whether due to infrastructure, human resources and/or material resources. These resources are available based on screening, through which management strategies are implemented in order to minimize the risk of those in need of care.
This investigation is based on the discovery of the effectiveness of triage systems in the Emergency Services, mainly the Manchester Triage System, which is currently the Triage System in force in most of Europe, including Portugal. Comparison studies are carried out with other Screening Systems in order to verify their value, effectiveness and safety.
As such, the qualitative analysis was based on research, through interviews with health professionals who work in mainland and island Portugal. The objective is to compare the various testimonies of health professionals and to understand to what extent their conclusions corroborate what the authors present in the literature review refer to, in order to understand whether this study contributes to the validation of the triage system implemented in national hospital.
It was concluded that the Triage System is valid and useful; however, it is necessary to carry out some updates over time in the management of the service, in order to increase its effectiveness and agreement.

The main goal of new public management is to limit the differences in management between the public and private sectors, with the emergence of the concepts of quality of life and well- being, the public sector tends towards the application of new work standards based on management principles such as. The system of understanding, interaction and internal organization. It is based on the regulation of the commitment of the internal actors allowing to create a constant participative process which generates a constant motivation between the internal actors. Nevertheless, it would be reasonable to think to what extent the principles of private management are applicable in the public sector and how it manages to achieve a quality of service that engenders user satisfaction.
This paper aims to answer this question by citing the advantages and limits of new public management.

Archaeological findings suggest that pottery began to appear when nomadic peoples settled down and discovered fire. The pinch pot was probably the first type of pottery. Sedentary ancient people made pinch cans out of clay balls, which they inserted their thumbs into. Objects made by hand using manual skills, now known as handicrafts, are created to meet the needs of their daily lives. Ancient people had to use the raw materials available in their surroundings to make a wide variety of utensils and household items. They must also develop technology that will allow them to be shaped for certain uses. Thus, in the earliest stages, handicrafts, including pottery, were more for practical purposes than decorative ones. From the beginning, ancient people used clay to make tools to meet the different needs of their daily lives. Pottery provided them with useful containers to cook food for people to eat. In addition to their use as household items, pottery products were also used for ceremonial tokens and decorative items. As beauty-loving creatures (" a beautiful thing is always a pleasure "), our ancestors began to beautify their handmade goods, tools, and utensils. They decorate everything they make and even use them to decorate the body.

Teaching English as a Foreign Language, Teaching English as a Second Language or Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages are terms that refer to teaching English to students whose first language is not English. The terms TEFL, TESL, and TESOL distinguish between a class's location and student population.
When we discuss the issue of learning English as a foreign language, we have in mind the four language learning skills, which are: Listening, Speaking, Reading, and writing. All these four skills are equally important for successful language learning. However, many learners of English have always declared that listening and speaking are the most difficult language skills. They think that listening is the most difficult exercise in this area, especially when you listen to a native speaker of English. As far as the speaking skill is concerned, learners also say that it is the second most difficult skill to develop in language learning. They wonder why their fluency does not flow easily like that of natives. And of course, a non-native learner cannot speak like a native. They only need native or near-native models to imitate so that they can acquire acceptable articulation.
Nevertheless, all learners acknowledge that speaking is again the most important skill to develop. They want to enjoy themselves when speaking and improving their practice.
