There is worldwide consensus today that problems relating to the environment have reached immense proportions and that immediate drastic steps should be taken by nations and the authorized global community to arrest the decline of our environment. The World Health Organization estimates that roughly 25 percent of the disease burden in the developing world is due to environmental factors. For this paper Environmental Human Development Index (EHDI) has been measured, which is a modified version of Human Development Index (HDI) in the pursuit of Conceptualizing a Sustainable Human Development Index in a Globalized World by Evidence from Assam and Meghalaya. This study is based on secondary data obtained from multiple sources. These are like- Census 2011, Central Pollution Control Board, India stat, World Bank, etc. The paper concludes with policy implications for the topic at hand. This study tries to search for development situation regarding the environmental condition of two sister states of North East India. After including the ecological parameters and household status, the shape of the development index is changing. Both states are increasing the development index value. But here Meghalaya increased its development value more than the state Assam. This study portrays with increasing environmental pollutants of particular state morbidity, especially cardiac diseases are growing.

Abstract: An Analysis of Local Taxes Revenue’s Effect on Human Development Index. Regional tax reform in Indonesia has been ongoing for approximately twenty years. The aim of the tax reform is to increase regional revenues from tax which will be used society’s welfare through regional development, which can be measured by Human Development Index (HDI). This study aims to analyse the effect of local tax revenue on HDI in Indonesia. Quantitative research method is used with unit of analysis of thirty-four provinces in Indonesia in 2013-2016, with a total of 134 observations. Secondary data is processed through panel data regression using random effect method. This study finds that local tax revenue has a significant positive effect on HDI. This study also finds that economic growth and unemployment rates have no significant effect on HDI, while gini ratio has a significant negative effect on HDI. Keywords: local taxes, human development index, tax reform, economic growth, gini ratioAbstrak: Analisis Pengaruh Penerimaan Pajak Daerah Terhadap Indeks Pembangunan Manusia. Reformasi perpajakan daerah di Indonesia sudah berlangsung selama kurang lebih dua puluh tahun. Tujuan dari reformasi perpajakan tersebut adalah untuk meningkatkan penerimaan daerah dari sektor perpajakan yang akan digunakan untuk kemakmuran rakyat melalui pembangunan daerah yang dapat diukur salah satunya dengan Indeks Pembangunan Manusia (IPM). Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menguji pengaruh penerimaan pajak daerah terhadap IPM di Indonesia. Metode riset yang digunakan adalah metode kuantitatif dengan unit analisis tiga puluh empat provinsi di Indonesia pada periode 2013-2016 dengan total 134 observasi. Data sekunder diolah melalui regresi data panel dengan metode random effect. Penelitian ini menemukan bahwa penerimaan pajak daerah berpengaruh positif signifikan terhadap IPM. Temuan lain yang diperoleh dari penelitian ini adalah pertumbuhan ekonomi dan tingkat pengangguran tidak berpengaruh signifikan terhadap IPM, sedangkan rasio gini berpengaruh negatif signifikan terhadap IPM. Kata kunci: Kata Kunci: pajak daerah, indeks pembangunan manusia, reformasi perpajakan, pertumbuhan ekonomi, rasio gini

The structure of Regional Development Budget (hereafter APBD) of Papua Province, which is mostly sourced from  Government transfers tends to increase every year. This requires prioritising the use of capital expenditure that can improve the welfare of the community. However, it is an irony that the poverty rate in Papua Province ranks first in Indonesia as indicated by the Human Development Index (HDI), below the national average HDI. The objective  to analyse the structure of the APBD (General Allocation Fund - hereafter DAU, Special Allocation Fund - hereafter DAK and Revenue Sharing Fund - hereafter DBH) and financial performance of Papua's Human Development Index in 2013-2018 with capital expenditure as an intervening variable. Quantitative approach is used with secondary data type, which is processed using the IBM SPSS Amos application.  This study indicate that the increasing APBD structure will be able to increase the HDI but capital expenditure does not mediate the APBD structure to the HDI. Furthermore, financial performance has no impact on increasing the HDI as the capital expenditure does not mediate financial performance on the human development index.

This research is intended to know the influence of government expenditure on education and health sector, inflation, and poverty on human development index with economic growth as a moderating variables in Indonesia. Population in this research is Indonesia and 20 of them were selected to be the samples for this research through purposive sampling technique. Estimates conducted by the multiple regression analysis. The data that were used in this study were secondary data, consisted of Government Expenditure, Inflation, and Poverty to human development index for the year 2000-2019. The results of this research, that Based on the partial test (t test), the Poverty variable has no significant effect while the Inflation and Government Expenditure variables have a significant effect on the variables of the human development index in Indonesia, the simultan test (F test), government expenditure, inflation, and poverty have a significant effect on the variables of the human development index. The economic growth variables are unable to moderate the relationship between government expenditure, inflation and poverty on the human development index.

Background: Exposure to radiation is a major risk factor for skin cancer so that 65 to 90% of skin cancers can be attributed to the exposure with sunlight. Objectives: The current study aimed to investigate the association between the human development index and the incidence of UV-related melanoma. Methods: This is an ecological study. Data on the incidence of UV-induced melanoma were extracted from the GLOBOCAN estimates (GLOBOCAN 2012), and data on the human development index were extracted from the World Health Organization (WHO) database. Data analysis was conducted by Stata software (Ver. 14). The descriptive analysis involved mean and standard deviation. The correlation method was used to evaluate the association between the population attributable fraction (PAF) of melanoma for ultraviolet (UV) and the HDI components. A P value < 0.005 was considered as statistically significant. Results: The results revealed a significant positive association between UV-attributable melanoma cancer and HDI in women (r = 0.401, P < 0.0001), men (r = 0.488, P < 0.0001), and both sexes (r = 0.455, P < 0.0001). In Americas (r = 0.452, P < 0.05) and Europe (r = 0.740, P < 0.05), a significant positive correlation was observed between UV-induced melanoma and HDI, but this association was not significant in Asia (P > 0.05). In Africa, a negative correlation was observed, though it was not statistically significant (r = -0.301, P > 0.05). The results of the analysis of variance (ANOVA) showed a significant statistical relationship between the incidence of UV-related melanoma and the levels of development (F = 25.1, P < 0.0001) so that the higher the score of HDI, the higher the incidence of this cancer. Conclusions: Since there is a positive correlation between UV-related melanoma and HDI, further attention should be paid to this risk factor, especially in countries with a high HDI to reduce the UV-induced melanoma cancer.
