<p class="AbstractNormalText">The Petroleum Industry does not only consist of exploration and exploitation activities, but there are other activities that are also important, namely lifting activities. The lifting activity is one of the transfer/ shipping activities from upstream (Producer) to downstream (Buyer). One of the lifting activities is the calculation of the amount of oil/condensate, which is a calculation of the calculation and reporting of oil/condensate that is applied in managing the distribution of oil/condensate production from the block station to the point of sale. The importance of this calculation system is due to the amount of lifting that will be reported to the state. This needs to be done well to avoid the wrong amount of value. ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials) is an international organization that develops and publishes technical standards for various materials, products, systems and services. The lifting job based on the conditions established by ASTM can minimize the possibility of errors in calculation of QAS (Quantity Accounting System), in this case specifically for fluid level measurements in tanks, temperature measurements, methods and techniques for measuring the number of samples, proving job, laboratory analysis (such as Density, BS&amp;W, etc), and the methods that must be used (Flow Meter or Meter Tank Gauging) for QAS input. This paper is made using reference activities that happen in lifting points in Riau Province, North Sumatra Province, and Aceh Province. It is expected to provide more understanding of the necessary of applying the ASTM provisions to lifting activities.</p><p> </p><p> </p>

Offshore Petroleum

Ships for drilling need to operate in the territorial waters of many different countries which can have different technical standards and procedures. For example, the European Union and European Economic Area EU/EEA product safety directives exclude from their scope drilling ships and related equipment onboard. On the other hand, the EU/EEA offshore safety directive requires the application of all the best technical standards that are used worldwide in the oil and gas industry. Consequently, it is not easy to select the most appropriate technical standards that increase the overall level of safety and environmental protection whilst avoiding the costs of additional certifications. We will show how some technical standards and procedures, which are recognized worldwide by the petroleum industry, can be accepted by various standardization bodies, and how they can fulfil the essential health and safety requirements of certain directives. Emphasis will be placed on the prevention of fire and explosion, on the safe use of equipment under pressure, and on the protection of personnel who work with machinery. Additionally considered is how the proper use of adequate procedures available at the time would have prevented three large scale offshore petroleum accidents: the Macondo Deepwater Horizon in the Gulf of Mexico in 2010; the Montara in the Timor Sea in 2009; the Piper Alpha in the North Sea in 1988.

Background: With advances in hospital automation, selecting an automated compounding device (ACD) for compounding parenteral nutrition (PN) may be challenging. A well-designed comparative review that considers safety and technical standards could assist in the selection process. United States Pharmacopeia chapter <797> and The American Society of Hospital Pharmacists (ASHP) has provided guidance on the safety and accuracy of ACDs. Objective: Utilizing a checklist of technical and performance specifications investigators sought to assess the adequacy of compounders available in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Method: Investigators compared the NutriMiX KS-240 and the Exactamix EM 2400. A literature review of practice standards, safety, technical, and performance specifications was conducted. These were developed into a checklist of 46 technical and performance specifications. Investigators evaluated each ACD using the checklist. Results: It was found that 43 (93.48%) of the technical and performance specifications, required by the hospital, were met by the NutriMix KS-240, while 39 (84.78%) were met by Exactamix EM 2400. Conclusion: This review found that although ACDs comply with the majority of standards and specifications, software integration with the hospital information system may be a limiting factor in selecting an ACD. The investigators concluded that the NutriMiX KS- 240 matches the technical and performance specifications for automated compounders required by our institution.

The purpose of this study provides a description of the impact and challenges in the implementation of the Accrual-Based Agency Accounting System (SAIBA). This research was conducted at the Religious Training Center in the Province of Aceh. Type of qualitative research with data collection based on interview techniques, observation and documentation studies. Data is obtained by going down directly to the research location and reviewing it with existing literature studies. This research is expected to be useful for the staff of the Aceh Province Religious Training Center in implementing accrual-based accounting to run optimally. The results show that the Implementation of Accrual-Based Agency Accounting System at the Center for Religious Training in Aceh Province has not been so effective. The problem is related to the readiness of human resources who have not fully understood accrual-based accounting. However, the implementation of accrual-based accounting has brought significant benefits. Challenges in the implementation of accrual-based accounting in terms of leadership commitment, the Aceh Province Religious Training Center supports changes in accrual-based accounting because clear and absolute regulations regarding systems, procedures, and policies are regulated in PP 71 of 2010. Accounting systems and IT facilities and infrastructure have been adequate. As a form of anticipation of the emergence of staff resistance, the strategy carried out in the form of socialization as well as training was intensified in early 2015 but there was a decline in the following year. Resistance appears on two considerations, namely the ease and benefits of implementing SAIBA. The response of the staff of the Aceh Province Religious Training Center is that it is easy to run the SAIBA application for those who have mastered and can facilitate staff performance. On the other hand, there are benefits obtained from the SAIBA application as financial reports are more transparent and accurate.

The study aims of analyze and evaluating the accounting system for component inventory and internal control of CV Bumi Nusantara. This type of research is qualitative research with a case study method, through direct observation and structured interviews. Data analysis is performed is an analysis of component inventory systems and analysis of internal controls related to organizational structure in separating duties and responsibilities, authority systems and procedures of enumeration as well as healthy practices that cannot be separated from competent employees. The results showed that the procedures in the accounting system for component inventory carried out by CV Bumi Nusantara has run well but there are still weaknesses and shortcomings in the documents, records and functions related to the system and procedures. There is still a dual role in the function carried out with no separation of duties in the procurement and warehouse division, some documents are not in the company, do not record in the journal. In addition, the physical calculation system that is carried out needs an evaluation because it is only done by the warehouse. A good component inventory accounting system is very influential in improving the internal control of CV Bumi Nusantara because the network of procedures, documents, records and functions will affect the running process of an existing internal control, with the completeness of documents, records, and functions related to the supply of component will facilitate the internal control of CV Bumi Nusantara and improve the level of reliability of accounting information.

Common Problems

Nowadays, the development and the application of biometric systems on one hand, and the large number of hardware and software manufacturers on the other, caused two the most common problems of biometric systems: a problem of interoperability between system's components as well as between different biometric systems and a problem of biometric data security and privacy protection, both in storage and exchange. Specifications and standards, such as BioAPI and CBEFF, registered and published as multiple standards by ISO (International Organization for Standardization), propose the establishment of single platform (BioAPI) to facilitate the functioning of the biometric systems regardless of hardware or software manufacturers, and unique format for data exchange (CBEFF) to secure biometric data. In this paper, these standards are analyzed in detail and considered as possible solutions to aforementioned problems.
