LEGAL POSITION OF FIDUCIARY DEEDS IN A MURABAHA CONTRACT FOLLOWING THE INDONESIAN CONSTITUTIONAL COURT DECISION NUMBER 18/PUU-XVII/2019 ON DEFAULT AGREEMENT BY CREDITORS AND DEBTORS
Authors: Arifah Risma Nur , Fidhayanti Dwi
Published: January 2024

This normative research aims at analyzing the legal position of fiduciary deeds in murabaha contract following the decision of Indonesian Constitutional Court No. 18/PUU-XVII/2019 on default agreement between creditors and debtors. The study applied conceptual and statute approaches. The results reveal that the fiduciary deed position after the mentioned decision is about the existing agreement carried out as it should. While for the fiduciary deed implemented after the decision exists, there must be a default agreement as a form of the decision’s implementation and anticipation if in the future the debtor does not voluntarily turn in the fiduciary object. Efforts to draw up an agreement on the clause of default in a fiduciary deed with murabaha financing in Islamic banking is part of preventive legal protection. Legal protection is an effort made by law enforcement to protect the rights of legal subjects. Default may not be declared unilaterally by the creditor. Execution of court decisions that have legal force must still be carried out, if at the beginning, there is no agreement regarding a breach of contract and when there is a default but the debtor refused to voluntarily submit the collateral.Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian hukum normatif dengan tujuan untuk menganalisis kedudukan hukum fidusia dalam akad murabahah pasca Putusan Mahkamah Konstitusi Republik Indonesia Nomor 18/PUU-XVII/2019 tentang wanprestasi antara kreditur dan debitur. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan perundang-undangan dan pendekatan konseptual. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kedudukan akta fidusia setelah putusan tersebut tentang perjanjian yang ada dilaksanakan sebagaimana mestinya. Selanjutnya, untuk akta fidusia yang dilaksanakan setelah putusan ada, harus ada kesepakatan wanprestasi sebagai bentuk pelaksanaan putusan dan antisipasi jika di kemudian hari debitur tidak menyerahkan benda fidusia secara sukarela. Upaya penyusunan kesepakatan klausula wanprestasi dalam akta fidusia dengan pembiayaan murabahah di perbankan syariah merupakan bagian dari perlindungan hukum preventif. Perlindungan hukum merupakan upaya yang dilakukan oleh penegak hukum untuk melindungi hak-hak subyek hukum. Wanprestasi tidak dapat dinyatakan secara sepihak oleh kreditur. Eksekusi putusan pengadilan yang telah berkekuatan hukum tetap harus dilaksanakan apabila belum ada kesepakatan mengenai wanprestasi di awal. Hal ini juga berlaku apabila terjadi wanprestasi, tetapi debitur menolak untuk menyerahkan agunan secara sukarela.

Published: January 2024

Trade law in Indonesia has not accommodated Sharia Multilevel Marketing (Sharia MLM). The legitimacy of the Sharia status and supervision by the the National Sharia Council of the Indonesian Ulema Council (DSN MUI) does not have legal implications for the legality of the Sharia MLM company business entity. This article aims to explain the urgency of Sharia MLM regulation in trade law and provide input on the legal construction of licensing and supervision of Sharia MLM to maximize the achievement of trade law in Indonesia. This normative legal research uses statutory and conceptual approaches with a legal construction method. The legal materials were analyzed usingcontent analysis technique and prescriptive methodology. The results show that the legal construction of Sharia MLM in trade law is urgently carried out by the government using an integration-partnership model between DSN MUI and the Indonesian Ministry of Trade in the licensing and supervision system of Sharia MLM. The application of this model can legitimize the legal status of a Sharia MLM company so that it can become a locomotive for accelerating the Islamic economic ecosystem to advance the national economy.Hukum perdagangan di Indonesia belum mengakomodasi Multilevel Marketing Syariah (MLM Syariah).

Authors: Hanafi
Published: January 2024

Marriages between indigenous peoples with one another, between one tribe with another, between Muslims with one another, as well as there are differences in urban and village marriage customs. Customs that have become customary law will be more difficult and stronger because violations of them will meet a sanction according to the regulations that are enforced and obeyed in society, from here the custom is not just an ancestral heritage but becomes a rule that must be obeyed as happened in Bindang Village, Pasean District, Pamekasan Regency, it is forbidden for a younger brother to get married before his older sister, even though the younger brother is physically and mentally ready to marry. This is not allowed, because if this happens according to the prevailing belief and it is believed that a disaster will occur to the household that will be fostered and the family, especially the older brother he is stepping on. The results of the study were to prove whether the customs regarding the marriage of Nyalep Narjhê (preceding his older sister) in Bindang Village, Pasean District, Pamekasan Regency did not conflict with the actual demands and teachings of Islam, and whether it was considered fair for a younger sister who would marry first to crawl under a brother three times, so that this is no longer a continuous dark history.

Published: January 2024

The increasing need for land has resulted in a higher rate of land conversion and urbanization, leading to a rise in urban density and the occurrence of an Urban Heat Island (UHI) effect. The application of remote sensing and GIS can serve as a substitute for data collection in monitoring the UHI phenomena. This work utilizes Landsat 8 OLI satellite image data, namely band 10, to analyze Land Surface Temperature (LST). Bands 5 and 4 are employed to assess the distribution of Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) in Bekasi Regency during the years 2014 and 2020. The relationship between NDVI and LST is highly correlated as they can effectively forecast the influence of areas with sparse vegetation on temperature. The guided classification approach, employing the maximum likelihood algorithm and kappa validation, is utilized to evaluate alterations in land use. The kappa accuracy test yielded a score of 0.90% for 2014 and 0.99% for 2020. The research conducted between 2014 and 2020 revealed changes in land distribution. Specifically, the built-up land area increased by 99.92 Km2, empty land expanded by 280.82 Km2, bodies of water covered an additional 46.13 Km2, and vegetation expanded by 293.91 Km^2. According to the UHI research, it is evident that there has been a rise in surface temperature in Bekasi Regency from 2014 to 2020. In 2014, the minimum temperature reached 30 °C, and the maximum temperature reached 51 °C. In 2020, the minimum temperature was recorded at 34 °C, while the maximum temperature reached 52 °C.

Published: January 2024

Developing new and renewable energy (NRE) is a sustainable solution to the current complexity associated with population growth and environmental problems. Some developed countries have recognized renewable energy development as a substitute for non-renewable energy such as coal, petroleum, and natural gas. Therefore, this study employed the geospatial approach scheme to identify the NRE potential in the Cipunegara watershed. This was achieved using regional research with a spatial approach and considering five locations in the upstream area of the Cipunegara watershed. Data were collected through observation, consultation with experts, and map interpretation, and analyzed using descriptive statistics. The results showed that only location 2 had a significant potential to be used in building a dam to generate electrical energy. This study was based on several aspects such as hydrology, morphology, topography, meteorology, erosion, geology, and land use. The results were derived from empirical data and geospatial modeling, and expected to serve as a significant reference for the central government in developing EBT as the tangible manifestation of the Sustainable Development Goals 2030 program and the implementation of the national research master plan 2017-2045.

Published: January 2024

The Citarum River is facing pollution and damage due to domestic and industrial activities. The provincial and national governments have implemented several programs to address the Citarum issue. One key aspect of rehabilitating the Citarum River basin is the increase in environmental awareness among the community. This research aims to examine the influence of the Citarum Harum Program on the formation of Eco-literacy among the communities in Upper Citarum. A survey was conducted with 393 respondents who reside along the banks of the Upper Citarum River, distributed across the 8 sectors of the Citarum Harum Program. The research instruments used include structured questionnaires, documentary studies, and interview guidelines. Data analysis was performed using the Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) technique with SmartPLS software version 3.2.9. The results of the study indicate that Eco-literacy (ECO) has a positive correlation with the handling of existing problems (HP) with a t-value of 1.136. Eco-literacy (ECO) has a negative correlation with the physical, social, and environmental characteristics (CH) with a t-value of -0.486, as well as with the occurrence of problems with a t-value of -0.237. This suggests that the formation of eco-literacy among the communities in Upper Citarum is highly dependent on the efforts undertaken by the task force. However, there is currently no connectivity between the knowledge and attitudes of the community towards actions in the restoration of river pollution and damage.

Authors: Park Ae Jin , Kwon Ki Han
Published: January 2024

Purpose: This study aims to analyze the treatment usage characteristics of consumers in Korea who use medical nail care, which is a noninvasive combined treatment.Methods: The study examined three symptoms, namely, onychomycosis, ingrown toenails, and pincer toenails in a group of 500 people in December 2022. A survey was conducted, and data were analyzed by gender.Results: In terms of the type of problem toenails, onychomycosis was higher in men, and women displayed high rates of pincer toenail. Current toenail conditions exhibited slightly negative response rates for men and women. Moreover, men tend to prefer hospitals, and women perform self-care to manage these issues. The usage rate of general nail salons was higher for women than that for men. The reasons for opting to use medical nail care demonstrated high response rates of improvement in problem for men and women. For procedures, the usage rate of laser or medication for treating onychomycosis was higher for men, whereas that of the resin gel procedure for ingrown and pincer toenail was higher for women. The monthly expenditure cost was less than 100,000 won for men and women, and the period of effect did not significantly differ across two and three months for both groups.Conclusion: The findings of this study have implications for understanding consumers with problematic toenails and rethinking the medical nail care system.

Authors: Kwon Oh-Hyeok
Published: January 2024

Purpose: This study investigates the mediating effect of perceived value in the relationship between external clues of cosmetics and consumers’ purchase intentions. This study explores how external clues, such as brands and cosmetics package design, contribute to the formation of perceived value, affecting consumers’ active purchase intentions.Methods: Frequency, factor, reliability, and three-step mediated multiple regression analyses were conducted using SPSS Ver. 24.0. A survey conducted with 430 participants who purchased cosmetics in Seoul and the metropolitan area from October 1 to October 20, 2022, provided the basis for the final analysis, with 422 usable responses.Results: External clues, such as brand and package design, exhibit a positive effect on the perceived value of cosmetics and on consumers’ intentions to purchase cosmetics. Second, perceived value was found to have a partial mediating effect on the relationship between external clues of cosmetics and purchase intentions.Conclusion: Consumers demonstrate a significant interest in cosmetics’ brand and package design, emphasizing the importance of these external clues in stimulating consumers’ active attitude and purchase intention by improving the subjective value of cosmetics. External clues to cosmetics can promote positive consumer behavior and encouraging the purchase of cosmetics. Recognizing the pivotal role of the perceived value of cosmetics during consumers’ economic activities, it is suggested that leveraging the external clues of cosmetics can be a marketing tool that can improve sales and enhance product image.

Published: January 2024

Purpose: We wished to determine the optimal method for the extraction of polysaccharides with antioxidant activities from Polygonatum odoratum.Methods: Single-factor and orthogonal tests were applied to identify the best parameters for water extraction and fermentation. The solid-liquid ratio, temperature, and duration of water extraction were determined according to the total polysaccharide content. The fermentation temperature, agitation speed, inoculation amount, and fermentation time were investigated according to the optical density of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The molecular weight distributions of water- and fermentation-extracted polysaccharides were determined by high performance gel permeation chromatography. The antioxidant activities of the polysaccharides were evaluated using 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) and 2,2′-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) ABTS radical scavenging capacities, and ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP).Results: The optimum water extraction parameters were 80°C for 2.5 h with a 1:60 solid-liquid ratio. For fermentation, an 8% extraction volume was inoculated with S. cerevisiae. Optimal fermentation occurred at 28°C for 28 h, with an agitation speed of 180 r/min. The molecular weights of water- and fermentation-extracted polysaccharides were 2.067×104 and 9.475×103 Da, respectively. The DPPH, ABTS, and FRAP results demonstrated an obvious increase in antioxidant activity after fermentation.Conclusion: The fermentation extraction of P. odoratum may provide valuable materials for future cosmetic use.

Yemeni Students Utilization of Google Translate for Learning English Language: Use, Advantages, and Disadvantages
Authors: Mohammed Dr. Othman Saleh Mahdy
Published: January 2024

A significant number of students use instant apps to translate documents to facilitate a successful learning process. The study aims to investigate the extent of utilization of GT by Yemeni students, examine their perceptions of using GT in their studies, and scrutinize the advantages and disadvantages of GT from their perspectives. This study employs a mixed method- quantitative and qualitative. The tools for data collection are a questionnaire and a semi-structured interview. The questionnaire is administered to 283 participants. The interview is presented to 20 students. A thematic analysis is used to analyse the obtained data. The study found that Yemeni students use GT at a low level (neutral) to learn the English language but they appreciate its bilingual speed. They also suggested combining machine and human translation for accurate and high-quality results. The study revealed no gender impact utilization of GT for learning the English language. It was noticed that diploma and bachelor's students have positive attitudes towards GT, while master's and PhD students are neutral. The responses of the participants showed the advantages of GT outperformed the disadvantages of GT. English language teachers should emphasize how to do MTPE and analyze GT defects. The research emphasized directing Yemeni EFL learners to machine translation's limitations, MT opportunities, types of texts to be translated, the difficulty of translating the implied meaning and potential inaccuracies.
Observando o trabalho musical e sua sustentação em uma banda filarmônica portuguesa
Authors: Salgado José Alberto
Published: January 2024

O artigo descreve o trabalho musical em uma banda filarmônica portuguesa, com base em anotações etnográficas, entrevista com o diretor musical e interlocução com outros musicistas vinculados a esse tipo de conjunto no Brasil e em Portugal. No diálogo com a literatura, incluem-se concepções de música como ação coletiva e como recurso simbólico na construção de lugar e identidade, além de se dar relevo aos instrumentos e comportamentos como pontos focais para a observação, em pesquisa etnomusicológica e educativo-musical. Descrevem-se as rotinas de ensaio, em que pessoas de diferentes faixas etárias convivem, desenvolvem aprendizagem técnica e constroem repertórios enquanto criam parcerias com outros artistas e tipos de música que atualizam os significados dessa formação tradicional. Duas performances públicas desse conjunto são analisadas em termos que combinam produção de música e práticas de memória e coesão sociais. Considera-se também o paradoxo de um “trabalho amador”, pela diferença de investimentos pessoais de tempo e participação na “vida coletiva” de uma banda, conforme se tenha ou não interesses de profissionalização. E sugere-se a metáfora da “harmonização” para compreender o processo dinâmico – mais que uma estrutura pré-formada – de sustentação de um conjunto musical desse tipo, ao se “lidar com tensões e problemas materiais de música e de trabalho, em sociedade”.

Introduction: Thiazide diuretics are among the major anti-hypertensive medications. Hydrochlorothiazide and indapamide are among the most commonly used thiazides. Common side effects include impaired renal function and electrolyte disturbances. Whether hydrochlorothiazide and indapamide cause the same amount of disturbance at equivalent doses is uncertain.

Methodology: Patient data from four different clinics was analyzed. Patients whose thiazide diuretic was initiated or dose escalated were included if they met the inclusion criteria. Patient characteristics, including demographics, comorbidities, medications, renal function, and electrolyte values at the initial visit and control visit, and hydrochlorothiazide or indapamide exposure per milligram, were acquired. Indapamide doses were multiplied by ten to convert into equivalent thiazide doses. Changes in renal function and electrolyte values, and renal function and electrolyte changes per equivalent thiazide exposure, were calculated.

Results: The uric acid increase and potassium decrease were different for the indapamide and hydrochlorothiazide groups. However, when these changes were analyzed per equivalent thiazide exposure, potassium was not different, but the uric acid increase was still significantly different between indapamide and hydrochlorothiazide (.05(.08) vs .03 (.08) mg/dL per equivalent mg thiazide, p = .049).

Discussion: This study demonstrated that indapamide’s hyperuricemic effect is more profound than that of hydrochlorothiazide. Choosing hydrochlorothiazide instead of indapamide may be more appropriate in patients with higher initial uric acid levels.
Neoantigen cancer vaccines: a new star on the horizon

Immunotherapy represents a promising strategy for cancer treatment that utilizes immune cells or drugs to activate the patient’s own immune system and eliminate cancer cells. One of the most exciting advances within this field is the targeting of neoantigens, which are peptides derived from non-synonymous somatic mutations that are found exclusively within cancer cells and absent in normal cells. Although neoantigen-based therapeutic vaccines have not received approval for standard cancer treatment, early clinical trials have yielded encouraging outcomes as standalone monotherapy or when combined with checkpoint inhibitors. Progress made in high-throughput sequencing and bioinformatics have greatly facilitated the precise and efficient identification of neoantigens. Consequently, personalized neoantigen-based vaccines tailored to each patient have been developed that are capable of eliciting a robust and long-lasting immune response which effectively eliminates tumors and prevents recurrences. This review provides a concise overview consolidating the latest clinical advances in neoantigen-based therapeutic vaccines, and also discusses challenges and future perspectives for this innovative approach, particularly emphasizing the potential of neoantigen-based therapeutic vaccines to enhance clinical efficacy against advanced solid tumors.

The production methods of red oncom can vary between different producers, leading to differences in sensory characteristics and compounds. This study aimed to characterize the physicochemical and sensory profile of red oncom that are most preferred by consumers. In this study, five samples of red oncom from Dramaga Districts, Bogor Regency, were selected as raw materials for physicochemical and sensory analysis. The proximate content of the five red oncom samples showed high levels of moisture, ash, and fat, but protein content in samples 259, 786, 615, and 478 was low. In contrast, the carbohydrate content in sample 615 was higher than proximate of red oncom by the Ministry of Health Republic Indonesia in 2019. The physical characteristics of color in some samples did not significantly differ in terms of L*, a*, C*, and h*values, although all samples exhibited a significant difference in terms of b* value. The texture characteristics of the five samples showed no significant differences in terms of springiness and cohesiveness, but significant variations were observed in hardness, gumminess, and chewiness. The sensory profiling involved 30 consumer panelists and 18 attributes, with sample 259 emerging as the most preferred among consumers. The analysis of consumption patterns based on five aspects of the food model, considering age and gender categories, revealed significant differences in several aspects, mainly related to food preferences (stir-fried, tutug rice, sauce, and fried oncom), self-conditions (feeling of sadness), and environmental conditions (hot weather). However, a significant difference was observed in the ecological aspect, specifically cold temperatures, when considering the gender category.
