Religion and Politics in Indonesia: The Role of Kyai in the 2024 Election, Case Study on Partai Kebangkitan Bangsa (PKB)
Authors: Mutiullah Muhammad Yaufi Nur
Published: August 2024

This qualitative case study investigates the impact of religious leaders' authority on Indonesian society. In this case, religious leaders possess exceptional and reliable religious expertise and a significant impact on society. The Indonesian populace formerly referred to them as Kyai. This study primarily examines the impact of the Kyai on the Partai Kebangkitan Bangsa (PKB) party following the Ijtima' Ulama Nusantara gathering. This gathering serves as a strategic maneuver by PKB to secure victory in the upcoming 2024 general election. This study examines the impact of the religious leaders' authority within the PKB party leading up to the 2024 general election. The author contends that religious leaders in Indonesia wield authority that extends beyond religious matters and encompasses all aspects of Indonesian culture, including politics. The author also aims to assert that the party utilizes the influence of the kyai to enhance its electability and garner support from the community. It has been demonstrated, among other ways, through the Ijtima 'Ulama Nusantara event hosted by the PKB party to secure victory in the 2024 general election. This study utilized a descriptive-analytic methodology. This study gathered written data from multiple literary works and crucial information or news from the media. This study employed Clifford Geertz's theory on religious experts as cultural brokers.

Authors: Hidayatullah Muhammad Syarif , Azhari Fathurrahman , Yusuf Mahmud , Fadillah Rahmat
Published: August 2024

Islamic bankers have a central position and an essential role in the implementation of Sharia principles in Islamic banking practices because Islamic bankers are parties directly related to the operational implementation of Sharia contracts. This research attempted to reconceptualize the figure of the Islamic banker with the formulation of the ideal Islamic banker within the framework of Sharia norms. This research was qualitative research that applied a literature study. Referring to the Hadith of the Prophet, Atsar Umar bin Khattab and Qaul Abu Laits, which serve as the foundation for the formulation of the ideal Islamic banker in the ideas of banking jurisprudence related to Islamic Human Resources Management, Islamic bank management must consider the relevance of education in selecting employees as an application of the Islamic recruitment model. Furthermore, the ideal Islamic banker will be realized through Islamic training, which forms ways of thinking, competence, character, and work motivation within the Sharia framework. The results indicated that Islamic bankers had adequate knowledge of Sharia and enthusiasm and commitment, which was vital in implementing all Sharia provisions in banking transactions to create a Sharia compliance ecosystem in Islamic banking.

Authors: Ali Mazurina Mohd , Ghani Erlane K , Hasnan Suhaily , Handayani Susi
Published: August 2024

This study examines the influence of board gender diversity and ownership structure on integrated reporting. Integrated reporting is widely regarded as a report providing the most comprehensive and valuable information regarding an organization's performance and value creation, offering significant benefits in improving stakeholder relations. This type of reporting is expected to accurately represent existing relationships between organizations and their stakeholders by focusing on investors and other stakeholders. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to examine the influence of gender diversity and the role of ownership structure in an integrated reporting context. In order to elucidate the relationships among the variables in this study, the agency theory was utilized. The sample of the study was derived from the top 100 Malaysian companies based on market capitalization for the years 2018 to 2020. The content analysis approach was employed to hand-collect the data from the annual reports. The findings of this study show a positive and significant relationship between board gender diversity and government ownership with integrated reporting. However, this study found a negative and significant relationship between family and foreign ownership with integrated reporting. This study could assist company owners and management in improving their company's information disclosure practices. Also, companies might consider adopting policies and practices that promote gender diversity in leadership roles and optimize ownership structures to enhance their integrated reporting practices. Additionally, regulatory authorities might find the results of this study valuable in formulating effective policies aimed at advancing integrated reporting.

Assessing Delayed Collapse Risks in Load-Bearing Reinforced Concrete Walls Exposed to Parametric Fires: A Numerical Investigation
Authors: Cherif Guergah , Mohamed Baghdadi , Salah Dimia Mohamed , Siqueira Antonio Marcos de Oliveira , Campos Júlio César Costa
Published: August 2024

This study delves into the thermo-mechanical analysis of structures exposed to fire, focusing on the evolution of gas temperatures, thermal distribution in structural members, and mechanical behavior during fire scenarios. Traditional prescriptive approaches assume a monotonically increasing temperature, while contemporary performance-based designs incorporate both heating and cooling phases for a more realistic fire resistance assessment. The critical aspect of this research is the modeling of the fire's cooling phase, which, though not commonly practiced in design offices, is essential for evaluating the risk of delayed structural collapse. Utilizing the finite element program SAFIR, numerical simulations were conducted on reinforced concrete walls to investigate their behavior during and post-cooling phase. The findings indicate potential failure not only during the cooling phase but also after the fire has subsided and temperatures have returned to ambient levels. This highlights delayed temperature increases in the core of the element and the consequent loss of concrete strength during cooling as key mechanisms of failure. A parametric study was undertaken, examining various fire scenarios, wall geometries, load levels, wall heights, adjacency, and boundary conditions. The results underscore that short-duration fires pose the most significant risk for delayed failure, particularly for simply supported walls. Additionally, the study scrutinizes the mechanical properties of materials across the heating and cooling phases. This investigation underscores the necessity of incorporating cooling phase analyses in fire resistance evaluations to mitigate the risk of delayed collapses. The insights gained aim to inform safer structural designs and enhance fire safety protocols, emphasizing the importance of realistic fire modeling in performance-based design methodologies.

Authors:   LL.D., Associate Professor, Professor of the Department of Service and Labor Law of the Povolzhsky Institute of Management, Presnyakov Mikhail V.
Published: August 2024

The article considers the prohibition of state and municipal employees to fill state and municipal positions. The author notes the eclecticism of the normative and legal consolidation of this ban in various legislative acts regulating the status of elected officials, persons holding state and municipal positions and regulating the passage of state and municipal service. The exceptions to this prohibition established by the current legislation were analyzed. The author believes that such exceptions are not always advisable from the point of view of its essence. Defects of regulatory support of such exceptions are analyzed. In addition, the work notes the uncertainty of the legal consequences of violating the ban on the simultaneous replacement of state (municipal) posts and positions of the state (municipal) service. Proposals are made to improve legislation in this area.

The Legal Nature and Concept of a Conflict of Interests
Authors:   PhD (Pedagogy), PhD (Law), Associate Professor of the Department of Civil Law and Procedure of the Orenburg State University, Ruzaeva Elena M.
Published: August 2024

The article discusses that conflict of interest these days is the focus of attention of many theorists and practitioners, not only in jurisprudence, but also in a number of other humanities disciplines. Legal scholars for the most part consider conflicts of interest in the anti-corruption spectrum. Many issues still remain controversial, ranging from the legal nature of a conflict of interest to determining the stages of its occurrence. The author of the article points out that, despite the fairly extensive regulatory framework regulating this issue, there are a number of gaps in the legislation, and the tools for resolving and ending conflicts of interest are not sufficiently developed. The legislator primarily focuses on eliminating an existing conflict of interest, while the cause of the issue remains unresolved.

Authors: Giorno Joilson , Padovan Adilson , Tarosso Isadora
Published: August 2024

This study analyzes the relationship between FDI and the IBC-Br from 2003 to 2022. Our objective is to examine the effect of FDI on Brazil´s economic activities. Thus, we look also for a connection between the Brazilian Central Bank’s leadership in each period and the FDI effect on IBC-Br. To explore this, we employ an approach based on the Granger Causality Test and copula models that encompass Gaussian, t-Student, Gumbel, Frank, and Clayton functions. Our findings indicate that in the short term, FDI exerts some influence on IBC-Br, while the reverse relationship is not observed. Furthermore, using the Clayton Copula function, we identify the dependency of causal relationships between the variables, particularly in extreme economic scenarios. These discoveries contribute to a more comprehensive understanding of the dynamics between FDI and economic activity in the different periods of the Brazilian Central Bank’s leadership.

Authors: Nagar P. , Agrawal M. , Agrawal K.
Published: August 2024

Background: Sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) is one of the oldest oilseed crops grown worldwide. It is rich in protein and micronutrients. It is cultivated and used in different culinary preparations globally in various forms. Methods: In the present study, defatting of mechanically dehulled white sesame seeds using an oil press machine at 200°C was done (local cultivar). This procedure could extract 50-60% oil from sesame seeds, therefore, it has been referred as partially defatted sesame seeds flakes or powder. The by-product, i.e., defatted sesame flakes, was evaluated for nutritional and anti-nutritional qualities. Mechanically dehulled sesame seeds of the same variety were used as a control. The defatted sesame flakes of seeds obtained were prepared in powdered form and assessed for biochemical parameters using standard methods. Result: The defatting could reduce the fat content by 52.48 percent and increased the protein up to 40.35 per cent. Magnesium and zinc increased significantly. As defatting is done using an oil press machine, the nutrient retention was better in terms of bioavailability. The partially defatted sesame seed flakes had a good amount of protein, iron, zinc and magnesium with available other micronutrients and possess a good sensory quality having nutty flavor. The seed flakes can be a great source of food to cater to the nutritional needs of the population at large and to reduce malnutrition, especially in children. This can be used for value addition of various food products.

Published: August 2024

Background: Sclerotium rolfsii Sacc. is one of the destructive soil-borne plant pathogens due to its significant loss in terms of yield and quality in several crop plants including soybean. Use of biocontrol agents in the management of disease is an ecofriendly strategy. Therefore, the study aimed to assess in vitro antagonisticactivity of rhizobacteria and endophytes against Sclerotium rolfsii following dual culture technique. Methods: A total of 75 rhizobacterial isolates, 3 endophytes along with reference cultures were evaluated for the antagonistic activity against Sclerotium rolfsii following dual culture technique. The effective rhizobacterial isolates were tested for the various plat growth promoting rhizobacteria traits viz., indole acetic acid production, siderophore production, Phosphate solubilization, production of ammonia, hydrogen cyanide production and chitinase test following the standard procedure. Result: The two promising rhizobacterial strains i.e., AUUB 209 (Streptomyces enissocaesilis) and Streptomyces racemochromogenes (AUDT 626) were found effective with 76.79 and 64.75 percent mycelial inhibition of Sclerotium rolfsii under in vitro. The antagonistic activity of these two rhizobacteria is mainly attributed to the positive confirmation of various PGPR activities viz., production of Indole acetic acid, siderophore, phosphate solubilization and chitinase production.

A VISUAL REPRESENTATION OF GENDER IN INDONESIAN EFL TEXTBOOKS
Authors: Chojimah Nurul , Widodo Estu
Published: August 2024

Gender inequality remains a prevalent issue in countries such as Indonesia in many communication and social media. One such medium is EFL textbooks. This qualitative study aimed to investigate how visual gender representation in EFL textbooks and describe social factors contributing to the patterns of the representation. The data for this study were human images in three EFL textbooks for senior high school students in Indonesia published by the Ministry of the Republic of Indonesia. Coding and classifying were the methods of data collection. Three dimensions of discourse—description, interpretation, and explanation—were used as the framework for the data analysis. The current study reveals that females and males are visually represented symmetrically, yet the stereotyping of males and females remains prevalent. Women’s movement might be the backgrounding of the depiction of the two genders in a symmetrical position. However, subtle conventional gender stereotypes are also portrayed in this study.
ABORIGINALS’ RACIAL INEQUALITY AND LINGUISTIC DISPLACEMENT IN THE POEM "THEY ASK ME: ‘WHO AM I?’”
Authors: Gazzaz Rasha , Elyas Tariq
Published: August 2024

Through a close reading of “They ask me: ‘Who am I?’’' poem, this paper examines the themes of racial inequality and linguistic displacement of the oppressed race of the Australian Aboriginals, specifically the lost generation as voiced in the poem. Adopting the theoretical frameworks of Kroskrity that focus on the linguistic racism and white supremacy, the authors analytically aim to explore covert linguistic racism through the poem’s narrative. In addition, this paper conveys the representation of race and colonial powers by conveying the exclusion and discrimination the Aborigines faced since the 18th century. It highlights the ‘White Supremacy’ (concerning politics, culture, and linguistics) and the desperate measures the white settlement took to complete the erasure of the linguistic and culture of the minority group of the Aboriginal people. The poem highlights the unspoken voices of the lost generation through the poet's heartfelt agony with his encounter with the history of Aboriginals and their racial and linguistic oppression.

Nowadays, beverages are not just considered as thirst quenchers; specific functionality is the major ingredient expected in beverages, which has becomes a lifestyle. In recent years, these initiations have led to newly developed products in the beverages sector. Companies are learning the consumption styles of various individuals and making novel beverages through blends of milk and energy drinks. Tigernut milk is among the most valued plant-based beverages, obtained from the aqueous extract of tigernuts tubers. This study investigated the mineral and antinutritional components of bottled and sterilized tigernut milk. Two varieties of tigernut tuber (Yellow and brown) were processed using three methods (Boiling, soaking and malting), and the milk was bottled and further sterilized. The results obtained showed that Iron recorded the least value at (1.73mg and 2.24mg) for yellow and brown tigernut tubers; alsotigernut tubers were low in some antinutrients except flavonoids. The result for the tigernut milk elucidated that processing and sterilization had little effect on the mineral content of tigernut milk. The study also showed that the pre-processing treatment applied (Soaking, boiling and malting) to the tigernut either increased or caused a decline in the   mineral content of the tigernut milk, whereas, processing and sterilization affected the antinutrient content of tigernut milk. All processing methods showed a significant difference (p<0.05.) as there was a decrease in the phytate and oxalate content. The study highlighted the possibility of processing tigernut tubers into milk extract that can be bottled and sterilized for a period of time.

Authors: Kertész Balázs , Balogh Péter , Bíró Klára
Published: August 2024

Over-the-Counter (OTC) medicines and food supplements plays an important role in healthcare. It is generally accepted that, when used properly, OTC medicines save consumers time and money. In this paper we looked into the purchasing behavior of the Hungarian population regarding OTC drugs and food supplements, highlighting the significance of self-medication. Using a quantitative online survey in March 2022 with a national representative sample, the research aimed to measure the out-of-pocket health expenditures, focusing on OTC drugs and food supplements. The analysis showed that the population spends more money on OTC drugs and food supplements than the co-payment of prescription (Rx) drugs, and the combined expenditures on OTC drugs and food supplements significantly contribute to the household's total healthcare costs, representing 45% of this budget. Three hypotheses were formulated to investigate the relationships between the spending on Rx medications, OTC drugs, food supplements, and various demographic factors. The analysis showed significant correlations, indicating that as expenditures on Rx medications increase, so do the purchases of OTC drugs and food supplements. Demographic analysis indicated that the younger demographic age group (18-35 years) tends to spend the least on both Rx, OTC drugs and food supplements, while the 36-50 age group exhibits the highest expenditure on food supplements. However, no significant difference in OTC drug purchases was found among those older than 36 years. The study raises further questions regarding the purchasing behavior of chronic patients, the differentiation between OTC drugs and food supplements by consumers, the influence of minors in the household on purchasing decisions, and whether the primary target demographic for these products should be expanded beyond the 35-50 aged women as it is defined nowadays.JEL Codes: I11, I12, M31

This study examines the relationship between Hungarian wine prices and the results of the 2023 Decanter World Wine Awards (DWWA). The study analyses the relationship between the DWWA and the prices of medal-winning Hungarian wines and the impact on the Hungarian wine sector. An analysis of the correlation between the Decanter World Wine Awards and Hungarian wines shows the price-shaping effect of wine competitions on the Hungarian and international wine market. By taking advantage of the recognition and credibility provided by the DWWA, Hungarian winemakers have the opportunity to position their wines in higher market segments, serving discerning consumers seeking premium and award-winning wines. Three regions seem to be best suited for this: Tokaj, Eger and South Pannonia (Villany and Szekszard). The winning wines will contribute to the economic viability and sustainability of the Hungarian wine industry, providing access to new sales channels, international recognition and promoting the unique and diverse Hungarian terroir. The medals achieved in this prestigious competition will facilitate market entry in competitive markets and foster cooperation with distributors and importers seeking quality-driven wine portfolios. Continued investment in quality development, sustainability practices and market diversification will be essential for Hungarian winemakers to capitalise on the success of the competition for long-term growth. In the future, the authors aim to conduct a study of the results of several years of competition, incorporating new perspectives.JEL Codes: E2, E3, F1, M2, M3

Published: August 2024

Genetic-based personalised nutrition is a concept that adapts diets, foods and nutrients to a person's individual needs (genetic, lifestyle and environmental), of which the use of supplements can be an integral part. Personalised nutrition, as a new technology and nutritional principle, could be a good way to improve the objective health status of the population in a meaningful way. However, previous research has shown that Hungarian consumers are distrustful and uncertain about this new technology, despite its obvious benefits. My main objective is to identify the attitudes towards nutrigenomics in relation to dietary supplement consumer behaviour. My quantitative analysis was carried out on a nationally representative sample of 1000 people. In the present study, I describe the clusters of the Hungarian population based on their dietary supplement consumption behaviour. Each cluster has different opinions on who they perceive as having an advantage in the applicability of genetic-based tests and to what extent they expect consensus among experts on genetic-based tests. Clusters show characteristic differences in openness to innovation and attitudes towards genetically personalised nutrition. I complemented my results with a qualitative study, which I conducted in the form of a netnographic survey. Through content analysis on social media, I identified the most common themes and consumer reactions to personalised nutrition on social media sites. Overall, it was found that dietary supplement consumption and the adoption of genetic-based tests show synergies in the manifestation of openness to novelty, health promotion behaviours, social norms, and positive attitudes.JEL Codes: A13, I12, P46

Authors: Safitri Meilani
Published: August 2024

Metacognitive ability is closely related to problem solving ability. This research is a survey research involving 150 students of class X from four high schools in Ngemplak Boyolali. The purpose of this study is to describe the results of the analysis of metacognitive abilities in solving mathematical problems. Data was collected using a Metacognitive Awareness Inventory (MAI) questionnaire. Data analysis was carried out quantitatively and qualitatively. The results showed that 23% of students had high metacognitive abilities, 20% of students had moderate metacognitive abilities, and 57% of students had low metacognitive abilities. Most students who have high metacognitive abilities are able to use their metacognitive abilities in solving mathematical problems. Almost all students who have low metacognitive abilities do not use their metacognitive abilities in solving mathematical problems. Overall, students are less than optimal in using metacognitive abilities when solving mathematical problems.

The application of physical distancing during the pandemic has prompted the government to require schools to implement distance learning. One of the learning approaches that can be applied to carry out school activities today is STEAM learning. For this reason, this service activity aims to train junior high school mathematics teachers in Karanganyar district to be able to design study plans, learning media and assessment instruments. Based on this goal, the community service team carried out a workshop activity at Junior High School 1 Kerjo Karanganyar and POKJA II Karanganyar consisting of 25 teachers. There were two resource persons who assisted in the implementation of the workshop about material on the concept and implementation approach and designing a board game for learning. To find out the understanding of the teachers before and after the training, a questionnaire was used. The results of the questionnaire were analyzed using qualitative method. From community service activities, the following results were obtained, the teachers had (1) understood the concept and implementation of STEAM learning; (2) able to develop learning tools in the form of lesson plans, learning media and assessment instruments; (3) implementing limited STEAM learning
Tools and technical guidelines for delineating the extent of tidal waters : proof of concept
Authors: Priestas Anthony , McKnight C. , Stickney Emily , Gordon Kyle
Published: August 2024

The delineation tidally influenced waters is often used to define the extent of federal or state jurisdictional boundaries, including the US Army Corps of Engineers’ (USACE) limits of jurisdiction under the Rivers and Harbors Act of 1899 (RHA) and Section 404 of the Clean Water Act. The USACE and other practitioners use a variety of field observations and desktop-based data sets, tools, and techniques to identify and delineate the lateral and longitudinal extent of tidally influenced waters. Tidal waters, and thus federal jurisdiction under the RHA, “end where the rise and fall of the water surface can no longer be practically measured in a predictable rhythm.” However, the technical standards, definitions, and data to delineate tidal extent are also lacking. The uncertainty and ambiguity in what constitutes tidal extent increases litigation risk and decreases repeatability and technical defensibility of USACE decisions. Nationally applicable technical guidance and rapid tools and techniques are needed to increase defensibility and consistency across all coastal USACE districts while also accelerating USACE regulatory decision-making. This technical report briefly reviews the regulatory framework and existing practices and proposes various methodologies to identify and delineate tidal influence applied through a few case studies.

Tunu is giant mature gas and condensate producer. As a part of achieving the national production target, stakes in the Tunu Very Shallow layer which were not previously booked as a reserve, will become a zone of interest for production. The definition of very shallow development itself is a reservoir with target depth limited above 500 mSS (300 - 499 mSS). General risks in very shallow reservoir such as; excessive sustained casing pressure due to cement channeling from reservoir target to surface, crossflow from reservoir target to shallowest open reservoir, uncontrolled hydrocarbon release due to fracture formation and sustained casing pressure in outermost annulus of adjacent wells. By acknowledging the risk and challenge, risk assessment should be developed by engineering review and specific mitigation should be implemented to ensure good well integrity can be achieved prior perforation, during perforation, after perforation & sand control means installation and during production.

The engineering review includes validating well barrier, ensure pressure from reservoir is not exceed shallowest perforation fracture pressure, minimum requirement of 50 meters accumulative shale layer thickness, good annulus cement quality, and running noise log if found anomaly annulus pressure for this trial campaign. Noise log shall be performed post perforation if observed leak rate more than 15 scfm. Additionally, specific mitigation involves installation of bleed of line on outermost annulus, utilization of multi-purpose barge and well testing barge ready to mobilize in case emergency, perform punch perforation prior main perforation to observed reservoir pressure, daily well monitoring post perforation until consider stable, and PSHH flowline to be set below the fracture pressure at the shallowest perforation depth.

Prior re-classification stakes as reserve and in industrialization development at Tunu, trial campaign are performed by determining wells candidate to comply with milestone of trial campaign. Implementation of engineering review and specific mitigation measures in a pilot well with satisfactory result and unlocked estimate stakes about 0.12 Bcf.

The successful of pilot well, the engineering review and the implementation of specific mitigation strategies set a strong foundation for considering the very shallow reservoir as a development target and industrialized. This determination can be solidified by evaluating the results from multiple trial campaigns to give solid safe conclusion in producing very shallow reservoir with robust and comprehensive data.
