The Significance of Maqashid Shariah in the Development of the Islamic Marketing Mix Concept
Authors: Moh. Nasuka
Published: June 2023

This paper discusses the conceptualization of the Islamic marketing mix which is based on the theory of maqāṣid syarī'ah which is derived from the Koran and as-Sunnah covering products, prices, promotions, distribution, and people. The marketing mix in an Islamic perspective is different from the marketing mix in conventional economics. As an illustration, the production process includes moral and transcendental elements in the decision making of the production process. Product pricing in Islam must pay attention to several provisions that have been regulated in Islam. Product promotion in Islam is not justified in exaggerating product quality. According to Islamic principles, distribution channels are not allowed to charge the end customer which leads to higher prices. Regarding the aspect of people, Islam emphasizes the importance of customer freedom in making decisions.

The study aims to empower low-income people through participatory action research in the city of Cirebon. The research method used is participatory action research. Resources come from primary and secondary data in the form of public documents from the Office of Social Manpower and Transmigration; Strategic Plan Document (RENSTRA) of the Education Office of Indramayu Regency for 2016-2021; and relevant literature. The results of the study consist of two sub-discussions. First, based on the results of the analysis using CIPPO, it was found that all APR activities carried out by the Government, local governments, universities, NGOs, and companies were all successful, and had a positive impact both directly and indirectly on increasing people's income. second, the PAR program is able to increase the adjustment between very priority needs and the programs provided to the community. This conformity can be realized because before carrying out the empowerment program, NA is carried out directly from the community. The process of planning, implementing, evaluating, and utilizing the results of programs provided to the community must involve local communities. When the community is involved from planning, implementing, evaluating, and using the program, the feelings felt by the community will increase. When the sense of ownership is high, the maintenance program for existing assets becomes lighter, has a longer lifespan and provides more welfare to the community. From the perspective of Islamic Economics, the people of the Balongan Indramayu area of West Java are said to have fulfilled basic physical needs such as food and shelter, but also non-physical such as education and spirituality. The fulfillment of primary needs (Dlaruriyyat), secondary needs (Hajiyyat) and tertiary needs (Tahsiniyyat). It's just that the implementation of the program has not been maximized, therefore it needs to be maximized in order to improve the welfare of the community as a whole.

Published: June 2023

This article presents the concept of interpretation, hermeneutics, and the reception of the literary text in the consciousness of the reader, which is at the center of the problematic field of literary science. Awareness of the locality of traditional interpretation methodologies leads to the search for other ways of interpreting artistic work. At the present stage of development of literary science, paying attention to the communicative function of literary text, such an interpretive methodology is relevant, which would allow to fully explore the work from the standpoint of an aesthetic dialogue between the author, the text, and the reader. James Joyce's Ulysses represents one of the most complicated works that was written in modern English and world literature and that contributed implicit and explicit interpretation and meaning to the original text.

Tourism industry is one of the most important sectors in Thailand. However, it is the most sensitive industry to any crisis, whether natural disaster, terrorism, political instability, economic, or disease. The spread of COVID-19 has had a profound impact on the tourism industry worldwide, Thailand is no exception. This research attempts to study the impact and provide the survival strategies for inbound tour operators in Thailand. This qualitative research uses in-depth interviews with semi-structured questions as a research tool. The researcher interviewed six tour operators in major cities across Thailand namely, Bangkok, Chiang Mai, and Phuket. It was found that tour operators in Thailand suffered notably bad effects from the COVID-19 pandemic. Most of the businesses had to down-size their organisations, require staff to leave without pay or even lay-off staff since there are no international tourist arrivals due to the closured borders during country-wide lockdowns. It also found that government policies toward financial and other assistance were not flexible nor effective enough. For example, regards short-term loans, tourism businesses did not have sufficient collateral, so they couldn’t borrow money. This is the reason why the tourism businesses lacked adequate financial liquidity. As a result, tourism businesses need learn the lessons from this pandemic and prepare for future challenges to survive in the tourism industry.

Published: June 2023

Background: Salivary characteristics include pH, salivary flow, consistency, composition, and saliva buffer capacity, so if changes occur, they will increase the risk of dental caries associated with the initial process and the speed of caries development. In addition to saliva, nutritional benefits can interfere with increased incidence of higher caries, reduced salivary secretion, decreased salivary buffer capacity, and qualitative changes in saliva. One of the parameters that can be used to measure nutritional status is the body mass index which also correlates with the DMF-T index. Objective: determine the correlation between flow, consistency, quantity, salivary buffer capacity, and body mass index (BMI) to the DMF-T index. Method: The group consisted of 78 respondents. Stimulated saliva samples were collected to measure salivary flow, saliva consistency, saliva quantity, and saliva buffer capacity using a saliva test buffer kit. Weight and height are measured to obtain a body mass index. Result: the average salivary flow of 1.9487, indicating a normal category because salivary flow occurs in less than 60 seconds. The average saliva quantity score was 2.6026, including normal at more than 5mL. The average buffer capacity is 2.6282, which means the standard is too high. The average BMI was 22.798, which indicated it had a normal weight and an average DMF-T level of 3.179 which belonged to the very low category. Conclusion: salivary parameters such as flow, buffer capacity, quantity, and BMI do not significantly correlate with the DMF-T index. However, one salivary parameter correlates to the DMF-T index, namely saliva viscosity.

Published: June 2023

Before and after the 2019 Presidential Election there was political polarization in society. This condition is made worse by the existence of identity politics which has the potential to cause social segregation. This situation can certainly threaten the security and order of the people of West Java. To analyze the West Java Provincial Government's efforts to deal with community dynamics, the authors used the Dynamic Governance concept approach proposed by Boon Shiong, Neo, and Geraldine, Chen (2007) with a focus on discussion on Capability elements which include Thinking Ahead, Thinking Again, and Thinking Across. In addition, the Culture element will analyze five of the thirteen values, namely: Integrity, Multi-racialism (Different ethnicities and beliefs), Relevance (According to the Will of the Society), Stability, and Prudence. There are also changes due to elements of culture and capabilities. Moreover, to analyze the commitment of the West Java Provincial Government in implementing the development of human security this research was analyzed by using the theory of Human Security according to Mary Kaldor (2007). Based on the research results, it was found that; First, the West Java Provincial Government was able to predict the potential for social conflict due to political polarization in society. Therefore, preventive, pre-emptive, and repressive steps are taken to locate potential conflicts so that they do not spread; Second, the Provincial Government of West Java has not carried out social consolidation and reconciliation to reunite the polarized society.

The North Natuna Sea (NNS) conflict among some countries has been an important case in Indonesia. Related to the North Natuna Sea conflict, it will discuss Indonesia's future conditions faced with the interests of China itself. The NNS conflict is a prolonged conflict because it is faced with security conditions for China itself, also related to the future of the country which is related to economic conditions and territory for China. From the results of predictive analysis both in exploration, projection, and forecasting, the results obtained are Scenario I: China's hegemony in prioritizing its interests has not changed by continuing to carry its nine dashed line, Scenario II: China's hegemony began to reduce its military power in the NNS so that tensions were reduced and Scenario III: Entering social power, which in this case is the concept of cooperation and the presence of ASEAN in bridging conflicts that occur so as to create security stability in the NNS. The results of the analysis stated that, the system-change scenario is faced with a concept that is favorable for countries in conflict in the NNS, especially Indonesia. If faced with an open war, of course this will have a negative impact on the safety of the nation and world peace, then cooperation is the right choice to avoid prolonged conflict. However, a more definite mechanism is needed to regulate the concept of Indonesia - China Cooperation in managing the NNS which certainly does not necessarily interfere with the nation's sovereignty.

As a means of communication between speakers of different linguistic backgrounds, translation activities can be implemented across other human activities domains, including legal texts. Attempts have been made by various researchers to clearly articulate the strategies for translating legal texts into another language, describing the challenges, and offering solutions. In many cases, the legal discourse of the originating language and culture is not the same as the target language’s legal and cultural background. Considering the intensity of the consequences associated with even the most minor translation mistakes in legal documents, this domain is often recognized as the most difficult to penetrate. This research aims to evaluate the complexities associated with legal content translation and provide strategies to mitigate the challenges. A simple descriptive approach was implemented for this research, primarily the exploratory study design. The findings of the study indicated that there are three primary challenges with translating legal documents. There is difficulty in determining the appropriate equivalent, a lack of familiarity with the English legal system, and a failure to decode the legal nuances of the original text. As a result, the study proposed for solutions to mitigate the challenges. The use of digital tools was proposed. The study also proposed locating the notion of the legal nuances, adopting a descriptive or thematic strategy, and implementing a purposive approach to translation. In conclusion, a translator of legal writings needs to be well-versed both in the source language and in the target language, as well as have a solid grasp of the relevant legislation and cultural projections that underpin the legal system.
