Published: July 2024

This research aimed at analyzing the effectiveness of the Bankziska program in empowering victims of loan sharks through the al-Qarḍ al-Ḥasan contract funded by zakat, administered by the Amil Zakat Infaq and Shadaqah of Muhammadiyah Institutions. Qualitative method was used in this research with a phenomenological approach using the activity data from the Amil Zakat Infaq and Shadaqah of Muhammadiyah Institutions in empowering loan shark victims through the Bankziska program. The data sources were obtained from managers, volunteers, and loan shark victims who were the partners of Bankziska. The research results showed that the reasons for the Amil Zakat Infaq and Shadaqah of Muhammadiyah Institutions to lend zakat funds were the references from fiqh and fatwa, training studies, organizational encouragement, academic input, and it is easy to implement. The implementation of the Bankziska program had detailed standard operating procedures, starting from the beneficiary categories, distribution, and payment processes, to mitigating the risk of default. The al-Qarḍ al-Ḥasan program of Bankziska had an impact on improving the quality of skills, mental, intellectual, technological, communication, and religious studies of managers and volunteers. The impact of the program for partners was the awareness to abandon usury, reduced debt both in nominal terms and the number of loan sharks and an increase in the ethos of economic independence. This research contributes to providing discourse and alternatives for other social and religious fund management institutions in using zakat funds productively for economic empowerment through the al-Qarḍ al-Ḥasan contract for victims of loan sharks who have difficulty accessing Sharia financial institutions to obtain business capital or financing services.
Reforming the Rules on the Division of Joint Property: A Progressive Legal Approach
Authors: Khairina Khairina , Khairani Khairani , Efendi Roni , Kasmuri Kasmuri , Afrianto Okky
Published: July 2024

According to Presidential Instruction No. 1 of 1991 concerning the Compilation of Islamic Law (KHI) Articles 96 and 97 on the division of joint property, each person in a marriage that dissolves due to divorce or death is entitled to half of the property that is joint property. However, the legal circumstances presented in Payakumbuh Religious Court's Decision No. 657/Pdt.G/2022/PA Pyk did not follow the KHI and gave the plaintiff (the husband) a portion of ¼ and the defendant (the wife) a share of ¾ of the joint property. Therefore, the goal of the analysis presented in this article is to respond to the judge's ratio decidendi when it comes to joint property that are unrelated to the KHI. Then, a more thorough explanation of progressive law as a method of legal change in the realm of community property is provided. The research approach employed in this paper is the normative legal method. The investigation's findings demonstrate that the judge's reasoning is predicated on the idea that the wife's inherited assets, rather than the husband's income from their marriage, constitute the joint property at issue in the proceedings. In terms of income, living expenses, or child-education expenses, the plaintiff was unable to demonstrate how much he contributed to the defendant's household during their time together. The plaintiff could not provide sufficient evidence to support his claim that he could afford to buy the property, house, and four-wheeled vehicle that are at issue. According to the judge's ruling, progressive law satisfies societal legal requirements. The judge's ruling about the contribution of joint assets served as a legal justification for not dividing joint assets in half, based on the facts of the case

Published: July 2024

This study aims to discuss the institutionalization of custom and Islam in the Fatwa of Aceh’s Ulama Consultative Council (MPU). Local genius and adat have recently emerged as essential role of the legal pluralism discourse in the age of globalization. This fatwa was issued in an effort to preserve Muslim land and property ownership in Aceh, Indonesia, after the tsunami. The effort has its dynamics, considering the existence and control of property by non-Muslims. The problem in this study is how the dynamics of the legal system, encompassing legal substance, legal structure, and legal culture, interact with the institutionalization of legal rights in Aceh's MPU Fatwa. This research is socio-legal research. The results of this study indicate that adherence to adat, mediated by ‘hak mieung’, has placed adat structures as dispute resolution processes. Legal culture is of greater significance than legal structure and substance in the institutionalization of hak langgeih in Aceh.

Authors: Kadhum Rusul W. , Abd-Alhammid Shaimaa N.
Published: July 2024

Background: Dutasteride, is a drug whose mechanism of action is inhibition of the enzyme 5-alpha reductase. It has been approved for use in the treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia. Dutasteride has low solubility and high permeability, which classifies it as Biopharmaceutics classification system class II, according to the Biopharmaceutics Classification System. It has a water solubility of only 0.038 ng/mL and a slow dissolving rate, resulting in its exclusive availability in the market as a formulation contained within soft gelatin capsules.
Objective: The aim of this study involves two parts. First, is the enhancement of dutasteride dissolution rate, by the creation of dutasteride nanosuspension, and second is the enhancement of patient compliance by the transformation of this nanosuspension to oral fast-dissolving film, which is characterized by its fast disintegration, stability, and ease of administration.   
Methods: The solvent anti/solvent precipitation method was used to formulate dutasteride nanosuspension. In addition, dutasteride nanoparticles oral fast dissolving films were prepared by using the solvent casting method.
To compare the in vitro release patterns of pure dutasteride film and selected dutasteride nanoparticles film, the statistical analysis for the dissolution investigation was conducted using the model-independent technique (employing similarity factor f2) utilizing a DD solver. The selected dutasteride nanoparticle film was supposed to be the test material, while the pure dutasteride film was supposed to serve as the reference.
Results: dutasteride nanosuspension demonstrated a high enhancement of the dissolution rate. In addition, the prepared dutasteride nanoparticles oral fast-dissolving film exhibited a further increase in the rate of dissolution and fast disintegration, and the administration is easy, all of these properties making it a promising dosage form.
Conclusion: Nanosuspension is an excellent approach for enhancing the solubility, dissolution rate, and effectiveness of drugs with limited aqueous solubility such as dutasteride. In addition, the oral fast-dissolving film can be considered a promising dosage form that will increase patient compliance due to its high dissolution rate, fast disintegration, and easy administration.

Published: July 2024

Policies related to the minimum wage are a contentious issue in employment across both developed and developing countries, aiming to meet community needs and benefit families. However, a research gap exists in applying justice and moral principles to wage determination from the perspective of Sharia economic law in Indonesia. This study aims to analyze fair wage components according to Islam and the role of business ethics in protecting workers and determining wages. Employing a literature review method, data were gathered from various sources such as books, journals, and previous research findings, which were reviewed and analyzed using descriptive analysis techniques. The study emphasizes the importance of justice and moral components in Islamic wage determination, rooted in the absolute essence granted by God, essential for morality. Business ethics in work protection and wage determination are crucial to ensure fair treatment and prevent exploitation. Recommended steps include optimal labor protection and wage determination, timely payment of agreed wages, recognition and guarantee of labor, fair wage determination without harm, and providing worker freedom. The study's novelty lies in integrating Islamic principles of justice and morality into minimum wage policies and developing practical business ethics guidelines for labor protection and wage determination under Sharia economic law in Indonesia.

Authors: Hakim Lukmanul , Rosyadi Imron , Setyawati Almasah Farah Diah
Published: July 2024

This study aims to evaluate the impact of the delay in Mie Gacoan’s halal certification on consumer loyalty. The delay in halal certification can influence consumer perception and loyalty, yet there is limited research exploring its impact on the food industry in Indonesia. This study employs field research methods, using direct observation and a descriptive qualitative approach to collect and analyze data. The results indicate that most Mie Gacoan consumers know about the delay in halal certification. Despite this, consumers remain highly interested in visiting and purchasing Mie Gacoan products, as they trust that 100% of the raw materials used are safe and have been certified halal. These findings suggest that the delay in halal certification does not significantly affect purchase intentions and consumer loyalty. This research provides new insights into consumer responses to the delay in halal certification, demonstrating that consumer trust in the quality and safety of raw materials can mitigate concerns related to the delay, thus maintaining consumer loyalty to the product.

Published: July 2024

Kualitas perawatan kesehatan yang baik dipandang menjadi hak pasien dan merupakan tanggung jawab personalia rumah sakit (Zineldin, 2006). Kualitas pelayanan yang diciptakan oleh instansi atau rumah sakit bertujuan bukan hanya ingin meningkatkan kepuasan pasiennya saja, melainkan untuk meningkatkan standarisasi rumah sakit dan kinerja karyawannya juga. Tentunya tidak hanya berorientasi pada komitmen materi saja melainkan dijalankan pula melalui prakteknya sebagai bagian dari nilai ibadah (Yunus 2012). Tujuan penelitian ini untuk mengetahui hubungan antara pelaksanaan Pelayanan Kesehatan Islami pada RSI Cempaka Putih terhadap Kepuasan Pasien. Studi ini merupakan penelitian kuantitatif dengan metode cross sectional. Responden mengisi kuesioner yang diedarkan melalui manager rawat inap yang kemudian diteruskan ke ruang rawat inap, terkhusus ruang pasien pasca bedah, dengan teknik purposive sampling. Data yang didapatkan diuji menggunakan uji statistik Spearman untuk melihat korelasi antara variabel dengan kepuasan pasien. Sampel pasien rawat inap pasca bedah terdiri dari 88 responden. Didapatkan 54% pasien memiliki harapan yang tinggi terhadap pelayanan Islami. Namun pada kenyataannya angka kepuasan terhadap pelayanan Islami mayoritas berada dipenilaian cukup puas 73% dan 25% puas. Hasil uji korelasi Spearman menunjukan penerapan pelayanan mutu wajib syariah di RSI Cempaka Putih terhadap kepuasan pasien rawat inap pasca bedah memiliki hubungan yang lemah namun tidak signifikan secara statistik. Namun, berdasarkan hasil analisis setiap pertanyaan, ditemukan hubungan yang signifikan antara kepuasan pasien dengan pelayanan wajib mutu, yaitu untuk variabel digunakan hijab bagi ibu menyusui. Sedangkan secara garis besar, penerapan pelayanan minimal syariah memiliki hubungan yang tidak signifikan terhadap kepuasan pasien rawat inap pasca bedah di RSI Cempaka Putih. Angka kepuasan responden tidak terlepas dari bagaimana komitmen rumah sakit untuk melaksanakan pelayanan Islami dengan sesuai standar. Konsitensi pelaksanaan pelayanan Islami terlihat dari bagaimana konsep Islami tercakup di dalam perencanaan dan aktualisasinya, ada kebijakan yang secara lisan maupun tertulis yang diterapkan oleh RS. Konsep Syariah/Islami harus ada di dalam perencanaan tersebut baik di dalam renstra (rencana strategis) yang bukan sebatas visi misi tapi juga teraktualisasi dalam 4 hal yaitu: SDM yang seimbang, anggaran yang tercukupi, mekanisme sarana prasarana dan kewenangan yang jelas. Sebagai rumah sakit yang menerapkan nilai keislaman, perlu diperhatikan juga aspek kebersihan dan kesehatan lingkungan.

Correlation of the terms “social order” and “public order”, “social security” and “public safety”
Authors: Chyshko K. O.
Published: July 2024

It has been stated that the science of administrative law is faced with the issue of not replacing and/or unifying the terms “social order”, “public order”, “social security”, “public safety”, but rather with their coordination with each other, and as a result, it is proposed to focus on the difference between the adjectives “public” and “social”, which lies in the conditional scope of the concept “social”.
Public order applies to an indefinite number of persons and literally knows no boundaries, while social order is limited to a certain number of persons on the basis of certain characteristics or “interests”. It should be borne in mind that the terms “public order” and “public safety” are very broad concepts that include not only administrative offences and public order protection, but also a state (order) in which society is capable of progress and positive development with a minimum of fear that rights will be violated by third parties or due to the occurrence of special conditions.
Instead, social order and social security relate primarily to citizens or their individual groups in the state, it is essentially the establishment of the law and order in the country that is necessary to ensure such living conditions for citizens in which they feel inner harmony, have a stable psycho-emotional state and feel safe.
In conclusion, it has been noted that the proposed approach to understanding the analysed terms does not introduce an imbalance in the current legislation, and if this approach is used, it becomes possible to further harmonise the norms and approaches of international and national legislation. Moreover, if used, it levels the debate on the tasks of the police, since, while ensuring public order and security, it carries out much broader activities to detect, prevent and suppress administrative offences, which is one of the areas of police work under Article 23 of the Law of Ukraine “On the National Police”. Therefore, the terms under study can coexist, provided that the correct approach to their understanding is chosen, without any radicalism, but it is still advisable to clarify the provisions of the Law of Ukraine “On National Security”.
El sistema penitenciario ecuatoriano. Sin luz al fnal del túnel
Authors: González Malla Janeth Patricia
Published: July 2024

¿Por qué no se soluciona la crisis carcelaria en Ecuador? Esta pregunta lleva a explorar la problemática penitenciaria desde sus orígenes hasta llegar al contexto ecuatoriano actual. El objetivo es reflexionar y demostrar que las prisiones y la privación de libertad han mantenido la misma dinámica desde sus orígenes, causando sufrimiento y dolor a los reclusos, en contraposición a la fnalidad resocializadora de la pena; el contexto actual demuestra que la gestión penitenciaria no ha evolucionado, pese al desarrollo científico y normativo de esta rama. El enfoque cualitativo y socio-jurídico son la base de la investigación porque a través del diseño narrativo se describe de forma secuencial la historia del sistema penitenciario, el avance normativo y se compara con la realidad social; es decir, se hace un acercamiento del derecho a la sociedad a través de la revisión documental de fuentes secundarias. En definitiva, se concluye que no existe la voluntad política del Estado para abordar el problema de forma técnica y con el personal especializado, tal como sugiere la doctrina; al contrario, la crisis carcelaria en Ecuador tiene un tinte anacrónico, deshumanizante y alejado de la finalidad de la pena; es decir, no hay rehabilitación ni resocialización.

У зв’язку із сучасними тенденціями змін клімату, що супроводжуються підвищенням середньорічної температури повітря, яке пришвидшує парниковий ефект – емісію СО2, актуальності набувають дослідження та заходи щодо мінімізації втрат органічного вуглецю із товщі ґрунтового покриву, який, до того ж, є основою гумусу (органічної речовини) ґрунту. Вимірювання інтенсивності емісії СО2 проводилися за допомогою портативного газоаналізатора Testo 535, вимірювання проводилися протягом 1 хв. у ізольованій камері об’ємом 2645 мл, а мікробіологічна активність визначалася за методикою інтенсивності розкладу лляного полотна Є. Мішустіна за період у 50 діб, показник виражений у відсотковому значенні розкладу лляного полотна відносно його початкової ваги. У статті наведені результати трирічного періоду досліджень біологічних параметрів, а саме визначення емісії СО2 та мікробіологічної активності, осушуваних мінеральних та органогенних ґрунтів та динаміка змін параметрів. Встановлено, що показники емісії СО2 та мікробіологічної активності ґрунту на органогенних ґрунтах мають у понад третину більші значення, ніж на мінеральних, також встановлено залежність параметрів від ступеня обробітку ґрунту. Визначено динаміку змін наведених параметрів впродовж трирічного періоду досліджень, й в результаті визначено, що на мінеральних ґрунтах найбільші втрати емісії СО2 були зафіксовані на другий рік досліджень, це ж стосується і показника мікробіологічної активності ґрунту. Окрім цього, встановлено взаємозалежність показників мікробіологічної активності ґрунту та інтенсивності емісії СО2, залежності показників від цільового призначення дослідних ділянок, відтак ступеня обробітку ґрунту. Наведено особливості та рекомендації раціонального використання осушуваних ґрунтів для ведення землеробства, спрямованих на мінімізацію емісії СО2 та підвищення активності ґрунтових мікроорганізмів. Також автори наголосили увагу на актуальному питанні щодо доцільності використання осушуваних торфовищ у сільському господарстві, з огляду на політику зменшення обсягів викидів СО2 в атмосферу, яка існує в Європі та Україні.

Abstract: As a tropical country with high biodiversity, Sri Lanka has a diversified variety of fruits, however most of them remain unexploited. Unfortunately, most Sri Lankans are not aware of those neglected fruit crops and their nutritional value and health benefits. Therefore, this study was carried out to determine the total antioxidant capacity, bioactive compounds and physiochemical properties of nine selected underutilized fruit species in Sri Lanka. Extracts of selected nine unexploited fruits namely, Syzygium cumini (Java plum), Ardisia elliptica (Shoebutton fruit), Eugenia uniflora (Surinam cherry), Antidesma alexiteria (Ceylon bignay), Dovyalis hebecarpa (Ceylon gooseberry), Malpighia emarginata (Barbados cherry), Morus alba (Mulberry), Flacourtia indica (Governor’s plum) and Antidesma bunius (Bignay) were assessed for their total phenolic content (TPC), total flavonoid content (TFC) and total antioxidant capacity (TAC) as well as physiochemical properties. TPC, TFC and TAC were determined by Folin-ciocalteu method, a colourimetric method and ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) assay respectively. The fresh weight (FW), moisture content and total soluble solid (TSS) were also determined. Statistical Analysis was done by analysis of variance (ANOVA) followed by Tukey Multiple Range Test using SAS. The highest fresh weight was observed in Eugenia uniflora (7.31 ± 0.60 g) whereas, the highest moisture content was recorded in Morus alba (88.81 ± 0.48 %). Flacourtica indica had the highest TSS value (19.95 ± 0.71%). Malpighia emarginata had significantly the highest TAC (2623 ± 43.37 mg TE/100 g FW) and TPC (1624.01 ± 71.45 mg GAE/100 g FW) whereas, significantly high TFCs were observed in Flacourtica indica (1374.03 ± 222.61 mg RE/100 g FW) and Syzygium cumini (1305.97 ± 202.17 mg RE/100 g FW). This study concluded that Malpighia emarginata, Syzygium cumini and Flacourtica indica had potent sources of bioactive compounds and antioxidants.

Background: Only a few research have been undertaken to assess the influence of nanoparticles on the surface hardness of thermal investment materials. As a result, the current investigation was carried out to determine the influence of silica gel agents on the surface hardness of dental phosphate investment material at various percentages. Materials and methods: in this investigation, commercially available phosphate-bonded refractory investment material (Zetavest fine) and Silica gel powder (Himedia-India) were used. The specimens were manufactured and split into four groups (n=16): specimens without silica gel substance; specimens with 1% silica gel material; specimens with 2% silica gel material; and specimens with 3% silica gel material. A hardness test was performed with the use of an indenter durometer (Shore D). Surface hardness characteristics were analysed using A way ANOVA (post-hoc Tukey) test with a p-value of ≤0.05 indicating significance. Results: The surface hardness of investment specimens with 1%, 2%, and 3% silica gel powder before heating were comparable and have shown substantial differences from the specimens with non-additive. Conclusion: Silica gel of 1, 2, and 3% can improve the phosphate-bonded surface hardness.
