Authors: Nursaputra Munajat , Kurniawan Kurniawan , Malamassam Daud
Published: August 2024

Population growth and land conversion have led to the degradation of mangrove forests on the southern coast of South Sulawesi, especially the Mamminasata area. Reduced mangroves increase carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. However, data on the potential carbon absorption of mangroves is still lacking. To overcome this, remote sensing is used to estimate carbon reserves. This reseach utilises Sentinel-2A imagery to estimate mangrove carbon stocks in Mamminasata. The image processing process includes radiometric correction, atmospheric correction, image classification, and extraction of NDVI values. The NDVI value is used to classify the density of mangroves into sparse, medium, and dense, covering 1,244.75 hectares. Field data collection was carried out through a survey of forest stand measurements. The results of NDVI transformation show a value range of 0.2 to 0.8 for mangrove objects in the Mamminasata area. The NDVI data on the analysed images were then made into three density classes. The rare density class has a carbon value of 3.56 – 21.16 Ton C/ha, the medium density class is between 21.17 – 31.49 Ton C/ha, and the dense density class is between 31.50 – 39.18 Ton C/ha. Regression analysis shows a strong correlation between NDVI and carbon stock (R² = 0.7134). This study confirms the effectiveness of remote sensing in environmental monitoring and mangrove conservation. These findings support conservation efforts and sustainable management policies by highlighting areas with high carbon sequestration potential.

Ulul Albab: The Concept of Perfect Intelligence in Islam: Theoretical Review and Application in Islamic Psychology
Authors: Utama Dian Sandi
Published: August 2024

Allah as the Creator of the universe, including human beings, has bestowed the brain and intellect including the heart (qalbun) to humans as His great gift. This is what distinguishes humans from other creatures in this universe. Man becomes a perfect creature because he can think and feel or have lust (will). Perfection can make the human being the best creature if he can maximize the potential that Allah gives in him. Nevertheless, humans can also become the most despicable creatures even more than animals if they cannot harness this potential in the path of goodness. In maximizing this potential, Allah provides guidance in the holy book of the Qur'an. As a manual book, the Qur'an is the perfect book to be explored and guided in maximizing the power possessed by humans, including the aspect of intelligence. The research uses a qualitative approach with the type of research being literature research. The result of this research is that Ulul albab became a term used by Allah to describe this intelligence. The figure of ulul albab is a Muslim human being who is strong in his thinking in using the potential of his intellect, strong in dhikr in forming spiritual intelligence which will eventually have good emotions or the ability in emotion management or emotional intelligence. Therefore, it is very appropriate to mention that ulul albab is the concept of perfect intelligence.
The Deferred African American Dream Depicted in Harlem by Langston Hughes and Lorraine Hansberry's a Raisin in the Sun
Authors: Amaliyah Syaila Nur
Published: August 2024

This research analyzes how the American Dream is represented and why the depiction of the dream is written as a dream "deferred" in Langston Hughes's poem Harlem and Lorraine Hansberry's play A Raisin in the Sun. Systemic racism and economic limitations have historically prevented many African Americans from achieving the American Dream, their dream in this case being equal opportunity and financial stability. This research uses qualitative methods, based on the Sociology of Literature theory of Rene Wellek and Austin Warren, to analyze how Hughes and Hansberry depict the American dream and the effects of African Americans' challenges in pursuing their aspirations in the 1950s. The result of this study shows that The American Dream for the Younger family includes a decent home, a fulfilling job, and educational opportunities. Mama's desire for a better home reflects the aspirations of African Americans. Despite obstacles, Mama remains resilient, supporting Walter's business ambitions and Beneatha's dream of becoming a doctor. Economic limitations and racial discrimination pose challenges, impacting the family's well-being. Yet, their unity and determination symbolize resilience. Hughes' "Harlem" highlights the consequences of deferred dreams, mirroring the family's struggles. These narratives underscore the importance of perseverance and unity in pursuing the American Dream amidst adversity.

Authors: Santri Utami Pajri  , Indah Adi Putri  , Zainal Arifin
Published: August 2024

Elections are held periodically, namely once every five years, with the aim of a constitutional change of power as regulated in the 1945 Constitution (UUD 1945). General elections are held in the form of presidential elections, regional head elections and legislative elections. At this time political parties are no longer the only force in political contestation. Elections that take place at the local election level still often encounter interference from elites, especially traditional elites, such as the regional elections that occurred in Kerinci Regency, where one of the elite's roles is as a force in mobilizing the masses. Many candidates use traditional culture to get more supporters in the election. Through its mass power, it can be used as an effective political machine in political contestation. This confirms that political mobilization is the key to winning election contestations. In analyzing mass mobilization by traditional elites, researchers use mobilization theory according to Stefano Bartolini and elite theory from Pareto and Mosca because mobilization in politics is a series of processes carried out by traditional elites in recruiting participants to obtain special support in an election. This research uses a qualitative approach with an instrumental case study method. The research results show that mass mobilization was commanded by traditional elites, such as the Depati and Ninik Mamak of Kerinci Regency, who directed and ordered the community and their nephews to choose certain agreed candidate pairs. The order was issued by Depati Ninik Mamak in a joint meeting to decide on support for candidate pair Adirozal-Ami Taher, so that the results of the meeting resulted in a joint agreement to win the pair Adirozal-Ami Taher.

This research aims to determine the heirs in the żawil arḥȃm group according to Islamic law. And to find out the position of żawil arḥȃm in inheritance from the perspective of Islamic law. This research was carried out using library research and paying attention to the field (Field Research). Literature study is a process of searching for various literature, the results of studies related to the research to be carried out. Literature study can be likened to a key that will open everything that can help solve research problems. The results of the research show that the heirs in the żawil arḥȃm group are (1) maternal grandfather, (2) every grandfather or grandmother who dies gets an inheritance, (3) grandchildren from the daughter's side, (4) daughters from the brother's side. son, (5) Sister's son, (6) Mother's brother's son, (7) Mother's uncle, (8) Uncle's daughter, (9) Father's aunt (father's sister), ( 10) Maternal uncles and aunts (mother's brothers and sisters). This is explained by Imam Nawawi in the book Raudhatut Thâlibîn, and Wahbah Zuhaili in the book al-Fiqhul Islam wa Adillatuhu. Meanwhile, according to the Malik and Syafi'i schools of thought, dzawil arham does not inherit. If someone dies without leaving dzawil furudh or ashabah, while he has żawil arḥȃm, then tirkah is given to Baitul mal. Because in the verses Mawaris only explains the ashabul furudh and ashabah parts. Allah does not mention the żawil arḥȃm part at all. Meanwhile, Abu Hanifah and Ahmad are of the opinion that żawil arḥȃm was given a will based on the word of Allah SWT in Surah Al-Ahzab verse 6. And the position of żawil arḥȃm in inheritance is as a non-permanent heir (outside of fardhu and ashobah experts), and as a place to resolve inheritance problems when there are no fardhu and ashobah experts. And those who do not make the dzawil arham an irregular heir, then the settlement is through radd to the żawil furudh which takes precedence over the inheritance of the żawil arḥȃm, but they inherit together with the person who does not get the radd, namely husband and wife.

Indonesia, with its wealth of forest resources (SDH) and mineral resources including gold, silver, copper, oil, natural gas, and coal, faces challenges in managing excessive exploitation. Although coal mining significantly contributes to the economy, this activity has resulted in serious environmental impacts, especially in protected forest areas. The Indonesian government has issued various policies to control the use of forest areas by banning mining activities in protected forests. However, conflicts of interest between the mining and forestry sectors still frequently occur, particularly regarding the utilization of mineral and coal resources. There have been numerous conflicts over land rights affecting 4.4 million hectares in the last 30 years, involving disputes between Mining Jurisdiction Areas (WHP) and the forestry sector. In addressing these conflicts of interest, the government has restricted mining permits in the protected forest area of Morowali Regency. Several regulations, such as Forestry Law No. 41 of 1999, Government Regulation No. 71 of 2014 on the Protection and Management of Protected Forest Ecosystems, and Presidential Instruction No. 6 of 2017, provide a strong legal basis for prohibiting mining in protected forest areas. Nevertheless, the government faces limitations in monitoring and enforcing reclamation regulations in Morowali Regency. Some mining companies fail to properly conduct post-mining reclamation, resulting in negative impacts on the environment and surrounding communities. To address these limitations, efforts are needed to strengthen human resource capacity, allocate adequate budgets, foster cross-sectoral cooperation, utilize technology, involve community participation, and impose strict sanctions. Supervision of mining activities in Morowali Regency is carried out by the central government, provincial authorities, and local governments, involving law enforcement agencies. The government also develops an integrated information system to monitor mining activities in protected forest areas. Efforts to rehabilitate and restore degraded protected forests include tree replanting, maintenance, and economic training for communities. Thus, enhancing coordination between the mining and forestry sectors through synergy between the central and local governments, involving civil society and non-governmental organizations, is essential. The strict enforcement of reclamation regulations and awareness campaigns for mining companies can help ensure compliance with principles of sustainable resource management. In the context of economic development, the Indonesian government must continue to improve efforts to manage forest and mining resources. Synergy among related sectors, optimization of supervision, and environmental sustainability and community welfare should be the primary focus to achieve sustainable development.

The misuse of personal data has become a highly relevant issue in the digital age, where cases of privacy violations are increasing sharply. Personal data such as contact information, transaction history, and online activities have become prime targets for cybercriminals to use for fraud, identity theft, and even political manipulation. These crimes often occur in various locations around the world, taking advantage of regulatory breaks and jurisdictional differences, making law enforcement difficult. To address this problem, a multi-dimensional approach is required. Stricter regulations, such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in the European Union, are needed to protect personal data with strict sanctions for violations. In addition, international collaboration is essential as cybercrime often crosses national borders, requiring close cooperation between countries to track and apprehend perpetrators. Public awareness and education are also key components in reducing the risk of cybercrime. People should be encouraged to take proactive measures such as the use of strong passwords and two-step verification. Companies and service providers also need to take responsibility for customer data security by implementing strong protection measures and transparency in data management. In conclusion, the use of personal data as a form of perfect crime is a complex issue, requiring strict regulation, international collaboration, and awareness raising to create a safer digital environment.

Errors and reading performance were recorded and analyzed quantitatively. The differences between the two levels are statistically significant, indicating that university students have better reading skills. However, the performances of both groups remain below the expected norms for their age, with an average delay of -78 months for high school students and -69 months for university students. These results highlight significant gaps in reading skills among Moroccan learners despite ongoing educational reforms.

El sector energético en Ecuador enfrenta una serie de desafíos cruciales en un contexto de transición hacia energías renovables, innovación tecnológica, y la necesidad de sostenibilidad frente al cambio climático. Este artículo examina los nuevos desafíos para los reguladores energéticos en Ecuador y su rol en la región, destacando la importancia de la adaptación regulatoria, la promoción de la inversión privada y la interconexión regional. A través de estudios de caso, se comparan las experiencias de países como Chile, Brasil y México, que enfrentan retos similares en sus sectores energéticos. Se extraen lecciones valiosas que pueden guiar a Ecuador en la modernización de su marco regulador y en la diversificación de su matriz energética. La interconexión energética en la región andina y sudamericana se presenta como una oportunidad clave para fortalecer la seguridad energética y promover la cooperación internacional. Las conclusiones reflejan la necesidad de un marco regulador flexible que fomente la innovación y garantice la sostenibilidad, mientras que las perspectivas futuras sugieren un rol estratégico para Ecuador en el mercado energético regional. El artículo concluye con una reflexión sobre la importancia de integrar políticas energéticas coherentes y sostenibles, que no solo beneficien al país internamente, sino que también permitan a Ecuador influir en la formulación de políticas energéticas a nivel regional.

Rauvolfia vomitoria (RV) and Gongronema latifolium (GL) are medicinal plants used for the local treatment of various health issues. Their activities on the brain motivated this investigation on the histology and immunohistochemistry of the dentate gyrus and spontaneous alternation behaviour (SAB) of adult Wistar rats following RV root bark and GL leaf extract administrations. Twenty young adult Wistar rats (130–160 g) were assigned into four groups: Group 1 served as the control (5 mL/kg of distilled water placebo), while the test groups 2–4 were, respectively, singly administered 200 mg/kg of RV, 200 mg/kg of GL, and their combination. The administrations were oral and lasted for seven days. A T-maze SAB test was carried out, and the animals were sacrificed immediately after ketamine hydrochloride intraperitoneal anaesthesia. Serial sections of the hippocampal region from perfused rat brains were stained with Cresyl fast violet and immunolabelled with neuronal nuclei (NeuN) for neurons and glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) for astrocytes. Results indicated that SAB was significantly (p < 0.05) lower in the test groups. Histologically, Nissl was less distributed in the RV and GL-only groups but not in the combined group, while there was less NeuN positivity in the RV group, with the GL and RV + GL groups not affected. There was less positive GFAP expression in individual RV and GL groups, but not in the RV + GL combined group, all compared with the control. In conclusion, the combination of RV and GL did not improve SAB but modulated Nissl, NeuN, and GFAP expression in the dentate gyrus.
The Impact of Cryptocurrency on Money Laundering Practices
Authors: Verma Harsh
Published: August 2024

The coming of cryptocurrencies has, amazingly, changed the face of the financial space. It has opened up opportunities and challenges in the field of money laundering. The deep impact of cryptocurrencies on the practice of money laundering becomes a detailed study. Since digital currencies are embedded with inherent characteristics, such as anonymity, decentralization, and the ease of performing cross-border transfers, criminals have now found new ways to conceal their illicit financial activities. The paper critically reviews how cryptocurrencies are used in money laundering schemes, evaluates the effectiveness of current legal provisions and anti-money laundering measures, and reviews case studies that exemplify real-world applications and challenges to regulatory bodies. Moreover, it offers recommendations on the use of new technologies, like blockchain analytics, toward better detection and prevention of money laundering through cryptocurrency. The paper thus provides a range of useful insights, associated with recommendations for the strengthening of the global regulatory framework in dealing with the increased threat of cryptocurrency money laundering, through a synthesis of the literature review, case analysis, and expert interviews. The paper contributes to this debate by providing insight into the challenges that regulatory authorities face and making recommendations to improve anti-money laundering efforts in the cryptocurrency space. This is done through an in-depth review of recent cases and legislation in this area. The findings were that, though cryptocurrencies pose a great challenge, innovative technology solutions coupled with international cooperation can play a vital role in mitigating the risks associated with cryptocurrency-based money laundering.

In today's competitive corporate and economic landscape, businesses strive to increase their value by acquiring additional funds or capital for expansion. These funds can be obtained internally, externally, or through loans, including international borrowing. This study specifically focuses on the factors that influence the capital structure of mining companies listed on the Nairobi Securities Exchange. It highlights that businesses in a competitive corporate and economic environment often aim to enhance their value by considering various financing options, such as internal funds, external sources, or loans, including international borrowing. Previous studies have indicated that factors like profitability, company size, asset structure, and external elements such as commodity prices can impact a firm's capital structure, which is typically represented by the debt-to-equity ratio. This study employs a cross-sectional research design to investigate the determinants of capital structure among mining companies listed on the Nairobi Securities Exchange. The findings emphasize the significant role of profitability and asset structure in shaping capital structures. Additionally, commodity prices and company size also exert an influence. The study provides valuable insights into how firms, especially those in developing countries like Kenya, manage their capital structures in the face of various economic and industry-specific challenges.
