WAKAF SEBAGAI SOLUSI PERMASALAHAN-PERMASALAHAN DUNIA PENDIDIKAN DI INDONESIA
Authors: Furqon Ahmad
Published: March 2023

Education is the mainkey for improving the quality of civilization and human resources. Education in Indonesia facing a wide range of educational issues, such as collapsing school buildings, children drop out of school because of the expensive cost, teachers who lack of focus on teaching due to restricted honors received, etc. Islam has the solutions for those problems through waqf instrument. Waqf is a typical Islamic financing instrument that can be a solution to the problems of education in Indonesia. This paper attempts to discuss the role of endowments for the development of education, and the steps that must be done so that endowments can be a solution to the problems of education in Indonesia. From the discussion, it can be concluded that Indonesia has a huge potential asset of waqf to be developed, ie the number of waqf land and the very large endowments of money as waqf. Â Waqf must be managed by an independent charitable organization, professional, trustworthy and focusing on productive forms of waqf.

E-commerce is preferred because many people presume as having many benefits i.e. demonstrating the value employers professionalism, making efficiency and effectiveness of business services, minimizing capital investment, etcetera. The urgency of this study due to the principles of contract law that are procedurally ignored in the online transaction. E-commerce is assessed valid if the pillars and prevailing conditions in the sale are fulfilled. The study on the validity of e-commerce in this article is not just approached by usul fiqh, but also from the perspective of mu'amalah jurisprudence and fiqhiyyah principles.
KITAB AL-KHARAJ: STUDI TERHADAP KONSEP KEUANGAN PUBLIK YAHYA BIN ADAM
Authors: Shulthoni Muhammad
Published: March 2023

This article emphasizes the importance of Yahya bin Adamâ€™s Kitab al-Kharaj to the investigation of public finance in the second century of Islam (Hijriyah). His work stands out as the accessible terminus a quo documenting the foundations of the â€˜traditionistic schoolâ€™ of economic thinking. Under Abbasid Caliphs, he endeavored to compose policy guidelines of public finance for both believers and officials. He tries to construct a welfare society that aims at not only promoting distributive justice and allocative efficiency but also maintaining combination of right to property, security, autonomy, and liberty. His views on land and taxation policy (kharaj) are enlightening. Kata Kunci: pajak tanah; perpajakan; ijtihad imam.

The development of Islamic financial industries, especially Islamic Banking in Indonesia, needs the contribution of educational institution in creating professional in the field. There are two categories of education in Indonesia, formal and non-formal education. In formal education, Islamic economics education taught in higher education since 1990s followed by primary and secondary education who pioneered by Tasikmalayaâ€™s government in West Java since 2006. In non-formal education, Islamic economics education taught in Pesantren since 16 centuries in the old fashion called fiqh muamalah. However, this study find that Pesantren Sidogiri, the oldest non-formal and traditional Islamic educational institution in East Java has launced in Islamic Economics program since 2005 in the new fashion but still maintaining old tradition eg. teaching materials from kitab kuning, and others. Pesantren Sidogiri creating new educational program called â€œmuamalah programâ€. In thisÂ  program, santri trains in modern economic sistem called Islamic economics.Â  The choise of developing education program is based on the need of the community where the pesantren operates. The curriculum developed by Pesantren based own initiative under supervision of tarbiayah wa taklim madrasiy board where subjects are different and not follow the national curriculum as public schools in Indonesia.

Authors: Mustofa Imam
Published: March 2023

This paper endeavors to explain the decline of Islam which is caused by stagnation of interpretation in its jurisprudence (fiqh), with no exertion in finding a new interpretation or understanding. To change the situation, we have to shift our paradigm to Islamic jurisprudence (fiqh) and principles of jurisprudence (usul al-fiqh) perceptions with a new understanding. Hassan Hanafi has contributed an excellent thought to reconstruct the stagnancy of Muslim world in order to modernize its jurisprudence with his writing, â€œMin an-Nash ilÄ al-WÄqiâ€™â€. In his article, Hanafi presented an innovative methodology in understanding the fiqh through integration between raâ€™yu and wahyu.

Authors: Rohayana Ade Dedi
Published: March 2023

This article attempts to observe the significance and relevance of relation between Islam and pluralism. Historically, the idea of pluralism was adopted from the Prophet Muhammad PBUH when he lived in Madina. In this region, he lived in the heterogenic society together with different religions, races, colors, and tribes. There are some verses in the Qurâ€™an and sayings of Prophet Muhammad for pluralism. From these verse and hadiths we can understand that Islam recognizes the pluralism. In doing so, we cannot deny that this thought become the important concepts of inclusivismâ€™s implementation in Indonesia. Only these discussions are good advantages and positive sides for pluralism on behalf of Islam.

Published: March 2023

Since agency theory was founded in 1970 by accountancy experts in the United States, the reliability of accountancy role as information media for people outside company was questioned. Agency theory explaining risk problem between prinsipals and agents resulted from cooperation between prinsipals and agents frequently discusses the role of accounting information as relating media between both sides. The insight discrepancy between prinsipals and agents and the information difference of agents make agents often report invalid asymmetric information to earn expected advantages. This moral hazard urges the prinsipals to implement controlling system to watch management behaviors as amanah holders.

Authors: Al-Baijat Hamadallah , Alzgool Husein A.
Published: March 2023

The authors conducted a comprehensive research study on adding olive oil mill and brine wastewater to the concrete mix to investigate torsion, bending stress, shear, and compressive strength. The total number of specimens were 33 beams 100 mm (depth) × 100 mm (width) × 500 mm (length). Three beams were used as control samples, and thirty beams were divided into two groups: fifteen samples were from an olive oil mill, and the other fifteen were brine wastewater with different percentages of additive material (olive oil mill and brine wastewater), with 2.5, 5.0, 7.5, 10.0, and 15.0 % of each. The beams were reinforced with 4 ϕ 8 mm as longitudinal steel bars and ϕ 4 mm stirrups spaced at 20 mm. All specimens were tested at 28 days. It was found that the torsional strength of the samples containing brine wastewater when added at the best percentage, which is 10%, was 5.46 MPa. As is the case when adding olive oil mill wastewater with the best percentage, which is 7.5%, it was 5.16 MPa. These data are greater than the torsional strength in the reference samples, which were 4.38 MPa, meaning that the torsional strength when adding brine wastewater and olive oil mill wastewater increases by 24% and 17%, respectively. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-2023-09-03-012 Full Text: PDF
Strength Characteristic of Lightweight Modular Block (LMB) Element using Stabilized Dredged Soil-EPS
Authors: Marfuah Nurul , Harianto Tri , Muhiddin A. B. , Irmawaty Rita
Published: March 2023

For several decades, lightweight material applications have been extensively studied. Modifying various types of soil with EPS beads or lightweight geomaterials is an alternative construction material on site that can reduce excessive problems such as large deformation and lateral pressure. This study aims to examine the strength characteristics of lightweight geomaterials, namely lightweight modular block/LMB. LMB is composed of EPS beads, dredged soil, and cement. The cement amounts are 3%, 5%, 7%, and 9%, with EPS variations of 0.5% and 0.75% to the mixture weight. Laboratory tests were conducted to investigate the strength with unconfined compression and undrained direct shear tests. Before testing, the specimens were made using the one-layer static compaction method and were cured for 7, 14, and 28 days. This paper also presents explanations related to the specimens making and treatment by providing preliminary test results to compare the effectiveness of the three-layer and one-layer methods. Moreover, the curing treatments to avoid cracking were explained explicitly. The result shows linearity between both increasing the amount of cement and adding more curing time to the increase of the strength parameter. In contrast, adding more EPS decreased the strength, but adding cement helped increase the strength parameter with a remarkable value at C7% and C9%. Increasing the amount of EPS also reduced the density of the mixture by 18%–29%. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-2023-09-03-014 Full Text: PDF
Implications of Palm Kernel Shell-Filled Plastic Bottles on the Structural Behavior of Concrete Slab
Authors: Dadzie Donald Kwabena , Kaliluthin A. K.
Published: March 2023

The implications of palm kernel shell (PKS)-filled plastic bottles on the structural behaviour of concrete slabs were carried out by comparing the flexural performance of conventional solid concrete slabs to concrete slabs incorporated with plastic bottles filled with palm kernel shells and placed vertically, horizontally, and diagonally at the neutral axis of the slab as per Bubble Deck Slab technology. One-way slab specimens of size 700 × 300 × 150 mm thick were produced and subjected to a four-point flexural load test. Findings from the study indicated that: (1) The PKS-filled bottle slabs deflected more than the conventional solid slab, hence making them more flexible than the conventional slabs and, as such, giving the occupants enough time to evacuate. (2) The flexural strengths of the PKS-filled bottle slabs exceeded those of conventional slabs by 18.3% and 10.9%, respectively, for five and ten percentages of the volume of slab concrete occupied. (3) The condition of the PKS, either dry or saturated, coupled with the bottle arrangement (either vertical, horizontal, or diagonal), does not, however, cause any significant change to the performance of the PKS filled bottle slabs in terms of load carrying capacity, deflection, and strength. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-2023-09-03-016 Full Text: PDF
Finite Element Analysis of Two Nearby Interfering Strip Footings Embedded in Saturated Cohesive Soils
Authors: Ayasrah Mo'men , Fattah Mohammed Y.
Published: March 2023

The issue of interaction between nearby footings is of paramount practical significance. The interference effect should be taken into account since the footing may really be separated from or bounded by other footings on one or both sides. In this regard, this paper studies the effect of two nearby interfering strip footings embedded in saturated cohesive soils, which will help to provide a better understanding of the impact of footing depth on the interference effect. A numerical study is carried out using the finite element program (Midas GTS-NX), and the behavior of closely placed strip footings embedded in the saturated cohesive soils is investigated under the influence of different factors such as the spacing between footings, the depth of footings, soil undrained shear strength, and the groundwater table. It was concluded that the soil cohesion and the footing depth ratio have a notable influence on the interference of closely spaced footings. For all cohesion values, it has been observed that the spacing needed for interference to vanish decreases with an increase in the depth of the footing and water table. In addition, as the S/B ratio increases, the ultimate bearing capacity (UBC) of interfering footings decreases until it reaches the same value as an isolated footing at greater spacing. The UBC is approximately 10% higher at S/B = 1 compared to the isolated footing. However, at S/B = 1, the UBC of two footings achieves a value equal to that of an isolated footing and does not change when the S/B ratio increases. With increasing footing depth, there is an increase in UBC. Finally, the highest values of x were obtained in all cases when Cu = 40 kPa. This indicates that the interaction between footings is greater when the soil is softer. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-2023-09-03-017 Full Text: PDF
Behaviour of Steel I Beams with Web Openings
Authors: Abbas Jinan Laftah
Published: March 2023

This paper aims to study the behavior of steel I beams with web openings. However, web openings might lead to a noteworthy reduction in the load-carrying capacity of beams, but can also be so supportive and essential from an economic point of view. An experimental investigation and nonlinear three-dimensional finite element analysis using the ABAQUS computer program were planned and conducted on six steel I-beams having the same dimensions, different diameter ratio spacing, and opening shapes such as circular, rectangular, and hexagonal. Experimental results showed that the ultimate load of a steel beam with web openings reduced with an increase in the area of the opening. A circular opening has a stronger shape than a rectangular opening because a rectangle has fast deflection and torsion angles, so it resists an applied load less than a circular opening. Also, the beam with hexagonal openings is better than that with rectangular openings because hexagonal openings are more resistant to deflection and deformation than rectangular openings. The finite element results, which are validated against the experimental results, show good accuracy with the experiment. Besides, a parametric study is presented here to study the influence of varying the shape of openings on the value of the failure load and midspan deflection. It can be noticed that the steel beam with a circular opening, which had been tested experimentally and modeled by the Abaqus program, is the best case and gives a higher failure load as compared to the diamond, octagonal, trapezoidal, transverse, and longitudinal ellipses. Thus, providing web openings reduces the weight and increases structural efficiency. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-2023-09-03-08 Full Text: PDF

The study aims to propose and validate a new digital model based on the Zettelkasten and interval repetition system for comprehensive and full-cycle training of the students. The core idea is to enhance the learning experience and effectiveness of the given training course by enhancing the student's attention during the learning and long-term information retention. In pursuit of the aforementioned research aim, the study incorporates a quantitative research methodology by combining experiments and a survey. In particular, the effectiveness of the proposed model was assessed via an achievement assessment involving two groups of students and assessing their scores on the same test. This was followed by a metacognitive awareness survey of the two groups to investigate their perceived understanding and performance (with and without the use of a model). The proposed model was found to be effective in enhancing the learning experience and effectiveness of the students on the training course. The Zettelkasten facilitates the management of the student's attention, while the interval repetition system contributes to increased retention. The students that used this model in their learning and preparation scored better than their peers. Also, they reported a significantly higher understanding and awareness of their learning than their peers. The model can be incorporated into the learning process or the provision of training courses to the students. This study is the first to suggest the integration of Zettelkasten and the interval repetition system into one learning model for the students. The article proposes a practical model that can be incorporated by teachers to improve the learning effectiveness of their students. This article has some limitations as well that must be acknowledged. Doi: 10.28991/ESJ-2023-SIED2-01 Full Text: PDF

NATION BRAND ARCHITECTURE- A REALITY OR REVERIE FOR AFRICAN NATIONS: THE CASE OF BOTSWANA
Authors: Maswabi Tshepo , Monyake Jane , Mburu Paul
Published: March 2023

Nation brand architecture gives a ‘sense of mission’ which can help unify key players, concentrate resources, increase efficiency, and create synergies in customer attraction Joao (2018). However, what seemingly works for product/ corporate brands appears to be more of a brown study for nation branding. Adoption of nation brand architecture is gaining traction in Western nations. Many countries in Africa such as Botswana seem not to be consciously employing this seemingly beneficial concept.This paper therefore explores the extent to which Botswana; an African nation has adopted this concept. It also focuses on how the nation embeds and applies the existing national identities such as national colours (reflected in the nation flag), symbols, animals, and plants in the brand architecture.The study employs a content analysis approach that investigates the nation against four overarching themes of brand architecture. Using the Dinnie (2008) Nation Brand Architecture Model (NBAR), the paper draws valuable insights from an analysis of brand architecture concepts as well as the current adopted or default brand architecture for the nation of Botswana. The paper forms the initial sequel of papers on Botswana nation brand architecture model. The initial findings present a tenuous understanding of the adopted architecture reflective of both the endorsed and branded house architecture.

Review on mangrove restoration: Re-greening the sea coast
Authors: Vardi Venkateswarlu  , Chenji Venkatrayulu  , Adelina Jaya Harsha M  , Govardhan Reddy G
Published: March 2023

Mangroves are important coastal resources that can provide exceptional ecosystem benefits. Several of its ecosystem functions, including sediment buildup, carbon sequestration, and storm surge protection, are being recognized as practical tools for climate change adaptation and mitigation. Its unique capacity to endure extreme environmental circumstances makes them; in particular, the only viable option for ecosystem-based adaptation in exposed coastal locations. Mangroves are among the most severely damaged tropical ecosystems, and they are continuing to disappear as a result of increased human activity. Especially in the Asia-Pacific region, where they exist in the form of complex socio-ecological systems, mangroves remain heavily threatened due to numerous anthropogenic activities. Mangroves are under grave danger; hence it is imperative that prompt steps be taken to methodically conserve and restore their ecosystems. The Asia-Pacific region is the location of nearly half of the existing mangroves, scattered over some of the poorest and post-conflict states. Dependence on traditional sources of income and the recent trend of coastal development have had a negative impact on the region's mangrove sustainability. Lacks of supportive policies and mangrove conversion to non-forest uses has been further fueled by insufficient institutional intervention. Nevertheless, in recent years, participatory, multi stake holder-based approaches for mangrove conservation and/or restoration have gained immense popularity in the region of Asia pacific. Participatory management which exemplifies an ameliorative approach can also support sustainable development, community empowerment, and social inclusion. Despite its asserted superiority, a number of new sustainability challenges need to be carefully examined and reconciled due to conflicting results of earlier experiences.
Software security models and frameworks: an overview and current trends
Authors: Fridah C. Korir
Published: March 2023

The continued dependence on information technology applications has led to the adoption of electronic channels and software applications to support businesses, online transactions and communications. In this perspective, both functional and non-functional requirements are critical for the provision of necessary needs at the early phases of the software development process. This is specifically important in the requirement phase of the software development process. Software security is increasingly becoming a necessity concern in this environment. Unfortunately, security concepts such as access control requirements are mostly considered after the functional requirement definition stage. In addition, majority of the developers and organizations regard security as an activity that can be incorporated after the development of a system. This leads to flaws and security defects in the access control mechanism. Therefore, software security issues must be given higher priority in the early stages of the development process. The aim of this paper is to offer a survey of the software security techniques, frameworks and models that have been developed to deal with these issues. The results obtained indicate that software vulnerabilities have made it possible for attackers to exploit them to cause havoc in computerized systems and has become one of the most critical risks facing modern corporate networks. Since most of these vulnerabilities involve exploitable weaknesses introduced through badly written code, the cyber security community has tried to come up with techniques to enhance software products.

Published: March 2023

This study was carried out in Sokoto central Senatorial District to identify the disparity of the fungal frequency responsible for spoilage of fruits sold at various markets of the district. A total of 240 spoilage fruits consisting of twelve (12) fruits each of Mangifera indica, Citrulus lanatus, Citrus sinnensis and Cucubita maxima were collected from five (5) different markets. Each of the fruits was cut into small pieces and inoculated on Potato Dextrose Agar then incubated at 250C and observed for 5 days. The isolates were identified using cultural and morphological features. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to determine the significant difference for the mean frequency of these fungal species at P<0.05 level of significance. The results obtained showed the presence of Aspergillus niger Rhizopus stolonifera, R. oryzae, Alternaria altinata, Mucor, and Fusarium. Significant disparities were reported from Tangaza (P=0.004), Kware (P=0.000), Binji (P=0.000), and Wamakko (P=0.002) markets. However, there was no significant disparity for the mean frequency of the fungi responsible for the spoilage of fruits in Kasuwar Daji Market (P=0.129). It was recommended that proper storage method be adopted in the area to mitigate the adverse effect of the pathogens on the fruits and human health.

Published: March 2023

Background: Knowledge of common urine microbial flora and the sensitivity pattern are essential in determination of empirical antibiotic usage Aim: To determine the common microbiological flora in the urine of apparently healthy adults and the sensitivity and resistivity pattern. Materials and Methods: A cross sectional survey of the pattern of urinary microbial organisms and their sensitivity and resistivity antibiotic pattern among adult population in a university community. Multi staged random sampling was used to obtain up to 465 respondents. Clean catch mid-stream urine samples were collected and prepared. Culture was done in three different media for identification and isolation of bacteria. The antimicrobial sensitivity was determined using sensitivity disk by Kirby-Bauer method. Data was analyzed using SPSS version 25 at 95% confidence interval and a p-value of less than 0.05 was considered significant. Data was presented in frequencies and percentages as appropriate. Results: Female respondents (76.97%) were more. 20-24 age group had the highest number of respondents (50.66%). 36.29% had bacteria growth in their urine. Escherichia coli (63.6%) is the commonest microbial agent found in the urine of the population, followed by staph aureus (20%), then Klebsiella (16.4%). The isolated organisms were mostly resistant to the common antibiotics. However, E. coli was slightly susceptible to Levofloxacine (37.1%), Ciprofloxacine (31.4%) and Gentamycin (30%). Klebsiella showed mild susceptibility to Levofloxacine (15%), Ciprofloxacine (12%) and Ceftriazone (9%). Conclusion: E.coli, staph aureus and Klebsiella are the dominant microbial flora found while levofloxacin, ciprofloxacin, ceftriazone and augmentin are the most sensitive antibiotics.

The female role has undergone numerous changes over the years, paving the way for women from all over the world to enter various fields of society. For the development of this bibliographic study, a qualitative approach was adopted, seeking to substantiate the ideas shared here with authors who study the same theme. A bibliographic research was carried out, with analysis of various contributions. The general objective of this work is to perform a historical analysis of women's evolution in the labor market and the occupation of leadership positions in different sectors of society, recognizing the difficulties and obstacles in appropriating spaces that should already be shared with men equitably and mediated by mutual respect. The specific objectives related to this study are as follows: to comment on how women's achievements took place, taking into consideration that they were considered domestic beings; to discuss the modern woman, highlighting her achievements and what still needs to be conquered. Finally, the research reveals that a possible path that benefits women in general is the implementation of policies that make it possible to reconcile personal life with professional career. Understanding, necessarily, that the role of caregiver, in a society that is aging more every day, should not be exclusively attributed to women.

Solubility plays a crucial role whenever a drug's effectiveness depends on its ability to disperse homogeneously in the liquid phase. On the other hand, the majority of active pharmacological substances have low water solubility. One of the most important factors in the success of formulation development is the solubility of the drugs. A difficult challenge in drug development is improving the drug's solubility, dissolution rate and bioavailability; over 40% of novel chemical entities reported to date are poorly water-soluble medications. Despite having promising pharmacokinetic properties, a large number of innovative drugs are unable to enter the market because of poor water solubility. The aqueous solubility of a drug also affects the physical, chemical and dose stability; it sets a standard for purity, dissolution rate and extent of absorption; and it achieves the desired concentration of the drug in systemic circulation in order to achieve the required pharmacological response in the systemic circulation. In this review, solubilization techniques such as chemical modification, physical modification and other methods were discussed as they open up new pathways for the production of potent and marketable drugs in Pharmaceutical Industry.
An investigation into the age range of women having hysterectomy in district kullu an observational study

Hysterectomy is typically performed on women in their late perimenopausal and postmenopausal years. Indications for hysterectomy include menorrhagia, uterine prolapse, postmenopausal haemorrhage, etc. These symptoms in turn could be brought on by diseases such as endometrial cancer, fibroid uterus, adenomyosis, endometrial polyps, or even endometrial hyperplasia. Age-related pathologies differ from one another. Because of the negative effects of oestrogen loss, hysterectomies performed before the age of 40 should not include oophorectomies. Yet it's also perilous to leave behind an organ that could develop cysts or cancer. Hence, it's necessary to weigh the risks and benefits. Postmenopausal symptoms and their effects continue to be a source of concern that requires constant monitoring and appropriate management because the perimenopausal age group turned out to be the most common one to have a hysterectomy.

In modern studies, researchers have found that the leaves of Costus igneus N.E. Br to be effective especially for Type-I Diabetes. In addition to its’s Anti-Diabetic property it has various other properties like Anti-Oxidant, Anti-Urolithic, Anti-Proliferative, Anti-Inflammatory and Anti-Lipidemic property. The Isolated Pharmacologically active moiety is a Flavonoid called Quercetin. A traditional method of identification of a plant species is by estimation of its Leaf Constants. Just like fingerprints, each plant has its own unique identification in terms of leaf constant. The fresh leaves of the plant were collected from Insulin plant of Bengal School of Technology, Hooghly, Herbal Garden and a Herbarium was prepared. The Herbarium was then authenticated and identified from Botanical Survey of India, Shibpur, and West Bengal. The authenticated plant was collected for fresh leaves and the Leaf Constants that were calculated were Stomatal Number, Stomatal-Index, Palisade Ratio, Vein-Islet Number and Vein-Termination Number. The leaf constants were observed and shown in table.

Published: March 2023

Pandemi COVID-19 menurunkan proses produksi minyak atsiri (MA), dan harga jual minyak anjlok, terutama di Samigaluh. Bahan baku dari petani dibeli dengan harga yang lebih murah, sehingga banyak petani yang menolak pesanan dan mengubah lahannya untuk menanam produk pangan. Stok bahan baku daun kering terutama sereh dan daun cengkeh saat ini menumpuk di gudang penyimpanan yang seharusnya bisa segera dimurnikan. Selain itu minyak cengkeh kaya akan eugenol sebagai antiseptik, analgesik, dan efektif melawan infeksi bakteri. Serai mengandung citronellol dan geraniol, juga memiliki aktivitas antibakteri dan jamur. Tujuan penelitian ini dapat menjadi alternatif pengembangan produk Handsanitizer (Hz) dengan bahan aktif MA untuk membantu UMKM mengembangkan usaha baru dibidang PKRT. Peluang bisnis Hz saat ini sangat terbuka lebar karena dianjurkan setiap fasilitas umum menyediakannya untuk mencegah penularan virus Covid-19. Oleh karena itu, melalui program pengabdian kepada masyarakat, kami mentransfer ilmu dalam mengolah EO menjadi bahan aktif dalam formula Hz. Diversifikasi EO ke dalam bahan aktif formula Hz menghasilkan produk yang baik dan stabil serta memiliki aktivitas antibakteri yang optimal. Mitra dapat merumuskan produk dengan baik dan dapat dikembangkan bersama kelompok UMKM lokal. Prosedur pengajuan izin sudah disusun, dan produknya sudah bisa ditemukan di media sosial yaitu Instagram dan e-commerce.

 

The COVID-19 has decreased the destilated process for essential oils (EO), and the selling price of oil has plummeted, especially in the Samigaluh. Raw materials from farmers are purchased at lower prices, so many farmers refuse orders and convert their land to growing food products. Stocks of dry leaf raw materials, especially lemongrass and clove leaves, are currently piling up in storage warehouses that should be able to be refined immediately. In addition clove oil is rich in eugenol as an antiseptic, analgesic, and effective against bacterial infections. Lemongrass consists citronellol and geraniol, also has antibacterial and fungal activity. The aim of this research can be an alternative for developing Handsanitizer (Hz) products using active ingredients of EO to help UMKMs develope new businesses in the field of PKRT. The business opportunity for Hz is currently very wide open. It is highly recommended that every public facility provide it to prevent the transmission of the Covid-19 virus. Therefore, through community service programs, we transfer knowledge in processing EO into active ingredients in Hz formulas. The diversification of EO into the active ingredients of the Hz formula produces good and stable products and has optimal antibacterial activity. Partners can formulate products well and can be developed with local UMKM groups. The permit application procedure has been compiled, and the product can be found on social media, namely Instagram and e-commerce.
