Published: July 2023

Indonesia as a country with a majority Muslim population has philanthropic developments that are quite encouraging both nationally and globally. This cannot be separated from the influence of the dimension of religiosity in Islam which is constructed in the culture of society. One of the customs that has been passed down for generations and continues to be preserved by the people in Wonorejo Village, Poncokusumo District, is the existence of various congregational traditions that become a forum for Islamic philanthropic practices typical of the Wonorejo Village community. This paper aims to analyze: 1) the construction of Islamic philanthropy in the Wonorejo Village community; 2) the process of acculturation of Islamic educational values into the local culture of the Wonorejo village community, and 3) the influence of local culture-based Islamic philanthropy on the socio-economic conditions of the Wonorejo Village community. The theoretical approach used is the social construction theory of Peter L. Berger and Thomas Luckmann and the Koentjoroningrat acculturation theory. Location is restricted in Wonorejo digital village Poncokusumo Malang. This research is a descriptive qualitative research. Data collection is carried out by observation, interview and documentation techniques. Data analysis techniques include data reduction, data presentation and conclusions. While checking the validity of data through triangulation. The results of the study found three things in the moment of externalization (the existence of exemplary characters), objectification (the existence of institutionalized community appreciation) and internalization (normative-theological-conservative, sociological-pragmatic-calculative, sociological-empirical-intuitive typologies). Meanwhile, in the acculturation process of Islamic philanthropy and local culture, there are a) influential scholars, b) group lifestyles, c) the means of practicing Islamic philanthropy, and d) the positive response of the community. Meanwhile, in the process of the influence of local culture-based Islamic philanthropy on the socio-economic conditions of the community, the people of Wonorejo digital village feel that the practice of zakat, infak and sadaqah and waqf has become a necessity and even creates a pattern of friendly, harmonious and peaceful relations even though it is not optimal in alleviating poverty in the local community, especially the absence of the use of technological media as a base for local Islamic philanthropy.

Authors: Lutfiana Faradisa Lali’ , Amri Muhtadin
Published: July 2023

The rapid development of information technology has significantly influenced the growth of the banking industry, particularly Islamic banks, by facilitating business transactions. Mobile banking has gained popularity among customers, highlighting the potential for advancements in this sector. In Ponorogo Regency, the convenience of making ZISWAF payments from home without visiting the bank has been underutilized by users. Additionally, difficulties in identifying eligible recipients (mustahiq) and insufficient user trust in the bank, along with limited understanding of BSI mobile, pose challenges. This study aims to examine the influence of convenience and trust on ZISWAF payments through the ZISWAF sharing feature in Ponorogo Regency, with gender as a moderating variable. A quantitative research approach is employed, focusing on BSI customers in Ponorogo Regency. The sample consists of 100 respondents selected using purposive sampling. Data is collected through questionnaires, and the analysis includes multiple linear tests and moderated regression analysis interaction tests. The findings reveal that convenience does not have a significant positive effect on the decision to pay ZISWAF (p-value = 0.107 > 0.05). However, trust has a significant positive effect on the decision to pay ZISWAF (p-value = 0.008 < 0.05). Simultaneously, convenience and trust exhibit a positive and significant influence on the decision to pay ZISWAF (F-test: p-value = 0.015 < 0.05). Gender does not moderate the relationship between convenience and the decision to pay ZISWAF (t-test: p-value = 0.309 > 0.05), nor does it moderate the relationship between trust and the decision to pay ZISWAF (t-test: p-value = 0.761 > 0.05).

Published: July 2023

Sharia principles are provisions originating from the Quran and Hadith that regulate worship and human activities in muamalah matters, which are then written in fiqh. This study aims to determine the effect of literacy and perceptions of Islamic economics on sociopreneurs in Surakarta. This type of research is called descriptive research. The data analysis method in this study used multiple linear regression with the SPSS version 25 program. The population of this study was the people of Surakarta, with a sample size of 100 respondents. Collecting data using a questionnaire with a non-probability sampling technique. The results of this study indicate that, partially based on the results of the descriptive analysis of the literacy variable (X1), it has a significance value of 0,024 < 0,05 and a tcount value of 2,597 > ttable of 1,989, and the perception variable (X2) has a significance value of 0,002 < 0,05 and a tcount value of 6,232 > ttable of 1,989. This shows that H0 is rejected, so it can be concluded that the literacy variable and perceptions of Islamic economics partially have a positive effect on the interest of the people of Surakarta to become sociopreneurs. Thus, the first hypothesis (Ha1) states that literacy and perceptions of Islamic economics have a significant positive effect on the interest of the people of Surakarta in becoming sociopreneurs. Furthermore, based on the results of the determination test (R2), it is known that the adjusted R square is 0,654. Thus, the literacy variable (X1) and perception variable (X2) of Islamic economics have a jointly positive contribution of 65% to the interest variable of the Surakarta city community to become sociopreneurs (Y).

Published: July 2023

There is an increase in stock problems in the contemporary era. Various economic issues no longer have conventional nuances but are integrated with the digital world. Numerous applications and website portals have been created that promise attractive profits when investing and selling shares on their forums. Investing in stocks became a lucrative business with little effort put into its application. The highest power is vested in the largest shareholder, not in workers who have direct contact with the business it self. Problems arise when discussing the legal validity of the event. This is due to the presence of trade monopoly indications and capitalist elements. Furthermore, the concrete stock issues never discussed by classical ulemas are likely to differ from those discussed by current ulemas living in modern or postmodern society. Therefore, it is considered far more relevant to view contemporary economic problems such as stocks in light of contemporary ulema's views. This article examines the views of famous classical ulemas of their time, as well as contemporary ulemas, regarding stocks in general. This study uses a comparative analysis with a normative review of Islamic law and positive law in Indonesia.

Published: July 2023

This study aims to determine the effect of Muslim sandwich generation philanthropic technology on poverty. One of the problems that is still being faced by the Indonesian state is the problem of poverty. Poverty alleviation efforts are carried out to realize the ideals of the nation, namely, the creation of a just and prosperous society. The sandwich generation has the hope of living a just and prosperous life. The sandwich generation is like a slice of a sandwich. Those who have reached adulthood are "sandwiched" between responsibilities for children and their parents who have entered old age to care for, provide for, and meet the needs of clothing, food, and shelter. Becoming the sandwich generation may not be everyone's dream. The responsibility that is carried is not easy because you have to support two generations at once. Sandwich situations require an open attitude among family members to help ensure that money is managed wisely, effectively, and cooperatively. In addition to such a position, the Muslim sandwich generation must be aware that there are still other people's rights in their wealth. This means that this generation must issue obligations such as zakat, infaq, alms, and endowments. According to Marts (2013), this generation is very dependent on technological sophistication because it is required to have fast performance, so it tends to be more practical. This type of research is a quantitative research using the SEM (structural equation modeling) method. The research sample is the sandwich generation of Muslims in Indonesia with a probability sampling technique. This study's results indicate the influence of philanthropic technology used by the Muslim sandwich generation on poverty reduction. In addition, this research is useful for the government and formal charitable institutions to reduce poverty. However, this will be realized if the government protects formal charitable institutions thereby increasing philanthropic behavior by the Muslim sandwich generation. The government must also take a role, namely to regulate the distribution of benevolent funds to areas in need. For example, the centralization of benevolence funds to create a fair distribution. Sandwich generation competence using financial planning technology needs to be developed by the government so that it can build a mindset of people who are aware of managing finances. This can be done by increasing the number of charitable institutions engaged in financial planning technology. Charitable institutions also have a role, namely they must be able to maintain public trust and cooperate with other formal charitable institutions. Every formal charitable institution must be able to distribute all benevolent funds proportionally.

Published: July 2023

Liquid organic fertilizer (LOF) is a solution resulting from the decomposition of organic matter originating from plant residues, agro-industrial waste, animal waste, and human waste containing more than one nutrient. LOF can be made from liquid organic matter (liquid organic waste), by composting and providing composting activators so that a LOF that is stable and contains complete nutrients can be produced. The use of LOF has the advantage that although it is often used it does not damage the soil and plants, the use of organic waste as fertilizer can help improve soil structure and quality, because it contains nutrients and other organic matter. The process of adding different fertilizers to the plants for 10 days showed that there were different height changes for each plant. With only water, the plants only reach 0.1 cm difference in 7 days. The plants that were given LOF and NPK (Chemical Fertilizer) gained height in only 4 days with heights 15.6 cm and 16 cm respectively. The growth percentage between LOF and NPK showed a significant difference in 4 days with 0.6% and 3.2 % respectively.

The changing in learning activities from face-to-face classes to distance learning has brought a decrease in student’s enthusiasm and involvement. This change might also cause a decrease in academic motivation among high school students. Academic motivation could be increased by internal factors, namely perceptions of social support and grit. This study aimed to examine the contribution of perceived social support and grit on academic motivation. This study’s measurements utilized: (1) the Academic Motivation Scale (AMS) for academic motivation; (2) Social Provisions Scale (SPS) for perceived social support; and (3) Grit Short Scale (GRIT-S) for grit. Data was obtained using a series of questionnaire distributed online. This study involved total of 222 high school students undergoing distance learning. Based on a multiple linear regression analysis, it was found that perceived social support and grit had a significant contribution of 8.7% to academic motivation (F = 10.392; R² = .087; Adjusted R² = .078; p = .05). Therefore, related parties need to maintain and develop social support and grit for students so that academic motivation can remain good even when faced with distance learning conditions.

Government loudspeakers: How Indonesian media amplifies the state's narrative towards the Free West Papua movement
Authors: Adiprasetio Justito
Published: July 2023

In early 2021, the Indonesian Coordinating Minister for Politics, Law and Security, Mahfud MD, made a statement that all armed actions in West Papua carried out by individuals or groups with the aim of liberating themselves are ‘acts of terrorism’. This was the moment when the Indonesian government formally labelled the Free West Papua Movement as ‘terrorist suspects’ and ‘terrorist organisations’. Indonesian online media responded by providing extensive coverage of Mahfud MD’s statement and the excesses after this statement. Indonesian online media tend to use the term ‘terrorist’ in their reporting to label ‘separatist’ West Papua movements, those seeking independence or self-determination. The term ‘terrorist’ replaces Armed Criminal Group—Kelompok Kriminal Bersenjata (KKB). This study shows how six Indonesian mass media organisations frame cases of labelling terrorists against West Papuan pro-independence groups. This study, using quantitative framing analysis, examines framing conducted by six national online media which are dominant in Indonesia and have the most audience share: Okezone, Detik, Kompas.com, Tribunnews, CNN Indonesia and Tirto. This study also elaborates the experiences and perceptions of journalists who write on the issue of West Papua, particularly in terms of labelling West Papuan ‘separatist’ groups as ‘terrorists’ by the government and how the media frames West Papua. The findings of this study show that the media tend to only be a ‘loudspeaker’ for the government, use all discourses issued by the government, and even participate in using the term terrorist to replace the KKB.

Finalizado el conflicto bélico del Atlántico Sur entre la Argentina e Inglaterra, el 14 de junio de 1982, se inició el proceso de desmalvinización con Reynaldo Bignone en el turno dictatorial. La desmalvinización encontró justificación en la necesidad de impulsar lenta y sistemáticamente el restablecimiento de las relaciones bilaterales entre el Estado argentino y el británico, sentando las bases para determinar las condiciones reales y efectivas del cese de hostilidades y garantizando el sistema de intereses económicos y financieros de aquellos últimos en la región. Esto se plasmó en los Acuerdos de Madrid I y II, que firmaron la Argentina y el Reino Unido entre octubre de 1989 y febrero de 1990, y en la sanción de la Ley Nacional 24184, durante la presidencia de Carlos Menem y con Domingo Cavallo como ministro de Relaciones Exteriores.
En el siguiente trabajo nos proponemos examinar en detalle los Acuerdos de Madrid II, abordando el documento denominado “Declaración conjunta de las delegaciones de la Argentina y del Reino Unido” y la Ley 24184, con el propósito de revelar las consecuencias políticas y económicas que tienen para la soberanía de nuestro país.
El conflicto por el consulado y las casas comerciales alemanas en Tapachula, México (1921-1923)
Authors: Mejía Ana Johari
Published: July 2023

Tradicionalmente se ha suscrito la creencia de que la comunidad alemana en el Soconusco mexicano era un grupo unido por lazos mutuos de amistad y simpatía; sin embargo, la designación del nuevo cónsul alemán sacudió a la colonia alemana en 1921. La disputa puso de manifiesto las viejas rencillas económicas, los intereses personales, las estrategias comerciales de los comerciantes alemanes del café y cómo perseguían sus objetivos y movilizaban para tales fines los recursos que tenían a su disposición. A partir del análisis de este conflicto se busca entender la manera en que los empresarios cafetaleros construían alianzas y negociaban con su país de origen, a pesar de la distancia, así como las distintas posiciones políticas que adoptaron frente a los cambios históricos y, particularmente, frente al reciente gobierno socialdemócrata de la República de Weimar. Con los datos provistos por las fuentes consulares en el Politisches Archiv des Auswärtigen Amts de Berlín, hemos podido reconstruir un conflicto y las dinámicas comerciales de los alemanes asentados en el Soconusco, un grupo de reducidas dimensiones que gozó de mayor permanencia en la región debido a su poder socioeconómico.

Recruitment of adequate number of healthy volunteers is vital for success of clinical trials but there is limited research on factors motivating the healthy volunteers to participate in clinical trials especially in developing countries. Pakistani researchers also faced the problems in enrollment of enough healthy volunteers during COVID-19 pandemic when a number of clinical trials began in Pakistan. Around 117 research proposals were processed by the National Bioethics Committee (NBC) of Pakistan in last two years. A major proportion of these clinical research studies target healthy populations as primary research subjects or as controls.

Numerous studies have investigated factors such as motives, barriers, risks. benefits and ethical values affecting recruitment and participation of healthy volunteers in clinical trials. We have reviewed the literature to learn about factors that motivate or prevent the healthy persons to volunteer along with the pertaining ethical issues.

Financial incentive is the principal motive for healthy volunteers to participate in clinical trials along with altruism, contribution to sciences, research and other people’s health, desire to take part in something important, learning more about science and medicine, access to healthcare & free medical checkup and prospects of one’s social network expansion whereas time inconvenience, confidentiality, possible side effects & route of administration of drug and fear of contacting the disease were identified as important barriers.

Application of knowledge of these motives and barriers will help Pakistani researchers to enroll adequate number of healthy volunteer for their clinical trials.
