Authors: Nausheen Siddiqa
Published: September 2024

The word Demurrage itself explains the cost imposed on the consignee or owner of goods for delays beyond the free days which is called lay time in legal terms but due to late clearance and many more related issues shipper and consignee both suffer. Although, the courts of Pakistan grant a stay to the consignee for non-payment of demurrage under section 14-A custom Act yet ignore the fact that the doctrine of privity also operates in contracts, as both the shipper and owner of the goods sign the terms and conditions regarding the payment of demurrage, as in every contract lay time is always provided to the owner of the cargo. However, every cargo owner is not always entitled to a stay on nonpayment. Here the barrier or issue of less trade arises. This article explores the legal framework for Demurrage and the issues involved in its application in Pakistan.

Effect of Corporate Governance on Corporate Social Responsibility: A Theoretical Review
Authors: Shoaib Muhammad , Shah Farooq , Khan Shiraz
Published: September 2024

The major points are summed up in this. Looking at the causal effects of these two forms of governance on CSR involvement, the goal of this work is to establish the empirical link between "corporate governance (CG) and corporate social responsibility (CSR)". Initially, delayed "Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)" seems to have minimal effect on "Corporate Governance (CG)". On the other hand, delaying the CG variable favours corporate involvement in CSR projects. This is still the case when one takes into account other aspects unique to the company. We use a sizable and varied American sample. Agency theory and stakeholder theory are examined in connection to CFP and CSR. The purpose is to prioritise these three concepts. Despite endogeneity bias, CSR actions boost corporate CFP. The facts do not support stakeholder conflict-resolution theory or agency CSR overinvestment hypothesis. CFP growth is also driven by company diversification, worker, community, and environment programmes.

Authors: Siddiqui Tauheed Ullah , Naeem Hafiz Muhammad , Musa Muhammad
Published: September 2024

The conventional financial system is based on credit financing. Banks advance loans to borrowers, charging interest thereupon and passing a portion to depositors/investors. Over the centuries, the world has been experiencing financial up and down cycles after every few decades. Global Financial Crisis of 2008 was the latest among all. The common thing in all these crises was the massive capital infusion of public into irrational speculative investments. On the contrary, Islamic financial system functions wholly on equity-based financing. Instead of offering credit, they offer to invest in assets either together with clients or exclusively. In former, both become partners whereas in the latter, bank becomes buyer by advancing finance and client becomes a seller. In this article an attempt would be made to analyse key actors of the financial crises and their aftermath on the World’s financial system and to explore Islamic modes of financing as a sustainable alternative.

In apple orchards, scab (Venturia inaequalis (Cooke) G. Wint.) and powdery mildew (Podosphaera leucotricha (Ellis and Everhart) Salmon) can result in low fruit production and poor quality, and premature fruit fall can also occur. The work involved identifying a fungal disease in the apple orchard PF «Khoram» in Khoram village in the Almaty region. The garden was populated with ‘Gala’, ‘Fuji’, ‘Golden Delicious’, ‘Quinte’, ‘Red Delicious’, ‘Divo’, ‘Korey’, and ‘Stark's Earliest’ varieties. The ‘Gala’ variety has been planted in 1.5 hectares of land and 1600 trees have been put into the field. It was found that 22.29% of the trees in the garden where Golden Delicious is grown are infected with scab, while 28.71% have powdery mildew. The average growth rate of scab on leaves of ‘Gala’, ‘Golden Delicious’, and ‘Stark's Earliest’ decreased from 6.86 to 8.82% (1 point). ‘Gala’, ‘Fuji’, ‘Golden Delicious’ and ‘Red Delicious’ leaves were found to have powdery mildew on 0.76-2.5% of their leaves. ‘Golden Delicious’ leaves had an average infection rate of 10.75% and it was moderately resistant (2 points). Based on the phytosanitary result, in 2023, scab spread was 16-20% in the areas planted by the PF "Khoram" farm, while the prevalence of powdery mildew in the valley fluctuates within a range of 1.9-30%. According to the results of a three-year phytopathological evaluation, it was found that the varieties 'Quinte', 'Golden Delicious', 'Korey' and 'Stark’s Earliest' have high resistance to powdery mildew. Clear measures can be developed to combat scab and powdery mildew disease and maintain product quality, based on the results obtained. Varieties that have proven highly resistant to the pathogen can be recommended as donors in the selection of immunity.

Keterbatasan produksi jamur tiram oleh Kelompok Usaha Jamur Bebo dikarenakan kurangnya pengetahuan dan keterampilan mitra dalam memanfaatkan teknologi dan  limbah pertanian lokal dalam kegiatan budidaya jamur tiram. Selain itu, manajemen usaha mitra yang kurang efektif menyebabkan produksi jamur sering mengalami keterlambatan. Tujuan dari kegiatan pengabdian ini adalah untuk meningkatkan pengetahuan dan keterampilan mitra dalam teknik budidaya dan manajemen usaha yang tepat. Kegiatan pengabdian diwujudkan dalam bentuk pelatihan pembuatan baglog jamur tiram dengan bahan baku dari limbah pertanian lokal yaitu serbuk gergaji, daun kakao, dan kulit tanduk kopi.

Kebiasaan mengkonsumsi jajanan pada anak sudah menjadi kebiasaan umum dan banyak ditemui di berbagai tingkat sosial ekonomi masyarakat. Makanan jajanan anak sekolah sering dijumpai di lingkungan sekolah dan biasa dikonsumsi sebagian besar anak usia sekolah khususnya anak usia sekolah dasar karena harganya yang terjangkau dan sebagai tambahan energi. Akan Tetapi,  peranan makanan jajanan yang mudah ini belum diimbangi dengan kualitas dan nilai asupan gizi yang diharapkan. Oleh karena itu, perlu untuk melakukan kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat terkait dengan masalah tersebut. Solusi yang ditawarkan oleh kami adalah melakukan kegiatan penyuluhan tentang kandungan zat-zat berbahaya dalam makanan jajanan di lingkungan sekolah dan dampaknya bagi kesehatan, penyuluhan tentang kebiasaan mencuci tangan sebelum makan dan pemberian susu kepada siswa sebagai salah satu contoh jajanan sehat. Dengan pelaksanaan kegiatan ini, siswa diharapkan bisa mengetahui jenis makanan jajanan yang mengandung zat-zat berbahaya dan memahami dampaknya sehingga sekolah dapat membuat kebijakan terkait makanan jajanan di sekolah untuk menjaga kesehatan para siswa.

Pembelajaran berbasis daring erat kaitannya dengan pemanfaatan teknologi media digital. Banyak aplikasi yang menawarkan berbagai fitur menarik dengan segala kelebihan dan kekurangan masing-masing. Hal ini tentu mendorong setiap lembaga pendidikan untuk menggunakan media digital dalam kegiatan pembelajaran.Â  SMPN 12 Malang beralamatan di Jalan Slamet Supriadi Nomor 49 Bandungrejosari Kecamatan Sukun Kota Malang Jawa Timur. Selama pandemi, kegiatan pembelajaran dilakukan sesuai arahan Dinas Pendidikan Kota Malang. Khususnya pada pembelajaran daring, kegiatan dilakukan melalui Google Classroom dan Google Meet. Dalam pemanfaatannya Google Classroom dirasa kurang mendukung pelaksanaan pembelajaran karena fitur yang ditawarkan aplikasi tesebut terlalu minim. Google Classroom hanya menyediakan pranala materi dan penugasan yang dapat dinilai. Selain itu, pembelajaran melalui Google Meet juga kurang bermakna karena hanya menggunakan metode ceramah. Berbeda dengan sistem pengelolaan pembelajaran melalui Moodle. Moodle memiliki fitur yang melimpah, baik dari fitur dasar maupun fitur tambahan. Moodle bukan hanya dimanfaatkan dalam pembelajaran daring, melainkan juga dapat dimanfaatkan untuk kegiatan luring, bahkan pembelajaran campuran. Oleh karena itu, Tim Pengabdian Masyarakat FS UM bemaksud untuk mengadakan â€œPendampingan Pengembangan Sistem Pengelolaan Pembelajaran Berbasis Moodle di SMPN 12 Malangâ€. Tujuan diadakan kegiatan ini adalah agar guru mendapatkan pengetahuan tentang penggunaan Moodle dalam sistem pengelolaan pembelajaran yang lebih efektif, efisien, dan bermakna.
