ENVIRONMENTAL RISK MITIGATION ANALYSIS OF GLASS INDUSTRY DEVELOPMENT POLICY ON REMPANG ISLAND

Nularna, Patminah, Yustina, Yustina
Abstract: This research comprehensively analyzes the glass industry development policy on Rempang Island, Batam City, Riau Islands Province, using an environmental risk mitigation approach. Employing a descriptive qualitative method… od with a case study design and library research, this study examines five main dimensions: the chronology of the Rempang Island case, policy conflicts and controversies, the government regulatory framework, disaster risk analysis from nine environmental perspectives, and overall policy evaluation. The findings reveal that the Rempang Eco City project, designated as a National Strategic Project (PSN) through Permenko for Economic Affairs Number 7 of 2023, triggered prolonged agrarian conflict due to the absence of meaningful participation from indigenous Malay communities who have inhabited 16 ancient villages on the island since 1834. The project implementation was marked by forced evictions, repeated acts of violence, and non-transparent environmental impact assessment (AMDAL) processes. Disaster risk analysis from nine environmental perspectives covering air quality, water quality, coastal and marine ecosystems, sand mining and geological degradation, biodiversity, community health, social-cultural impacts, climate change vulnerability, and environmental governance consistently produces high-risk assessments, affirming that Rempang Island as a small island ecosystem lacks adequate carrying capacity for large-scale glass industrial development without permanent and irreversible ecological damage. Although Presidential Regulation Number 12 of 2025 de facto removed Rempang Eco City from the list of 77 National Strategic Projects under President Prabowo Subianto’s administration, the absence of an explicit revocation of Permenko Number 7 of 2023 creates ongoing legal ambiguity for affected communities. This research concludes that Indonesia urgently requires fundamental reform in its investment-based development policy paradigm, encompassing strengthened indigenous community participation mechanisms, elevation of AMDAL as a non-circumventable legal requirement prior to investment designation, and application of the ecological precautionary principle in small island development.

BRIDGING THEORY AND PRACTICE IN ISLAMIC ECONOMICS: A PRISMA-BASED SYSTEMATIC REVIEW ON ZAKAT, WAQF, AND ISLAMIC SOCIAL FINANCE FOR WELFARE ENHANCEMENT

Ekawaty, Marlina, Hanafiansyah, Mochammad Rizki
Abstract: Islamic economics operates as a normative framework prioritizing social justice, equitable wealth redistribution, and collective wellbeing. Despite its robust philosophical foundations, empirical consensus regarding how… these tenets translate into measurable welfare outcomes across heterogeneous developing nations remains highly fragmented. This study addresses this critical gap by executing a systematic literature review guided by the PRISMA 2020 statement to synthesize empirical evidence on the operationalization of Zakat, Waqf, and Islamic Social Finance (ISF) as structural instruments for poverty reduction. Departing from traditional descriptive reviews, this paper introduces an original analytical taxonomy that maps the operational mechanics of ISF against micro-level and macro-level development outcomes. Based on a rigorous multi-stage screening of peer-reviewed empirical studies published between 2020 and 2025 across emerging economies, a final synthesized sample of $n = 10$ high-quality primary articles was evaluated. The qualitative narrative synthesis reveals that integrated ISF instruments exert a structurally positive impact on poverty alleviation, income optimization, and socio-economic empowerment, particularly when embedded within digital financial ecosystems and formal financial inclusion frameworks. However, the analysis uncovers substantial outcome heterogeneity, demonstrating that welfare efficacy is highly conditional upon institutional governance quality, targeting accuracy, and localized implementation designs. The structural novelty of this research lies in its empirical crystallization of the explicit boundary conditions under which normative faith-based capital successfully disrupts poverty traps, offering an evidence-based operational blueprint for policymakers and Sharia social institutions in the Global South.

Abstract: The agriculture sector plays a strategic role in the national economy and is highly dependent on fertilizer availability on support crop productivity.  This study aimed to analyze the effectivenss of subsidized fertilizer… er distribution and its impact on rice productivity in the tidal lowland areas of Tanjung Lago District, Banyuasin Regency.  The research employed both quantitative and qualitative descriptive approaches using a stratified random sampling method involving 60 farmers who received subsidized fertilizer and 30 farmers who did not reveive subsidizer fertilizer. The effectiveness of subsidizer fertilizer distribution was evaluated using a likert scale based on the Six Appropriateness Principles, while the impct on rice productivity was analyzed by comparing the productivity levels of the two farmer groups. The findings showed that the distribution of subsidized fertilizer was generally categorized as moderately effective, with an average effectiveness score of 71,33%.  The price compliance indicator was classified as highly effective (91,66%), while location suitability was categorized as effective (81,00%).  Meanwhile, quantity appropriateness, fertilizer type suitability, and timeliness of distribution were categorized as moderately effective. The findings showed that the distribution of subsidized fertilizer was generally categorized as moderately effective, with an average effectiveness score of 71.33%. The price compliance indicator was classified as highly effective (91.66%), while location suitability was categorized as effective (81.00%). Meanwhile, quantity appropriateness, fertilizer type suitability, and timeliness of distribution were categorized as moderately effective.  In contrast, the fertilizer quality suitability indicator was still considered ineffective, with an effectiveness score of 55%.  The use or subsidized fertilizer also contributed positively to rice productivity.  Farmers receiving subsidized fertilizer achieved an average rice productivity of 3.77 ton ha⁻¹,  whereas farmers who did non receive subsidized fertilizer produced an average productivity of 3.20 ton ha⁻¹.  This resulted in a productivity defference of 0.57 ha⁻¹..  equivalent to approximately 17.81%.

Abstract: This study examines the visual symbols and cultural values ​​contained in the Marhum Pekan Tomb, one of the historical sites inherited from the Siak Sri Indrapura Sultanate which is the cultural identity of Pekanbaru City.… City. The purpose of this study is to reveal the meaning, philosophical values, and forms of acculturation of Islamic culture with local Malay traditions represented through the physical form and ornamentation of the tomb. This study uses a qualitative descriptive method with Erwin Panofsky's iconographic approach which includes three stages of analysis, namely pre-iconography, iconography, and iconology. Data sources were obtained through field observations, in-depth interviews, as well as literature and documentation reviews. The results of the study show that visually (pre-iconography), the Marhum Pekan Tomb displays the architectural characteristics of the Selaso Jatuh Kembar House, the use of Malay regalia, stepped jirat forms, and headstones with gender-differentiating shapes, all of which are a blend of local and Islamic culture. Based on the iconographic analysis, all ornaments in the form of plant and flower motifs contain symbolic meanings of purity, fragrant names, good deeds, and obedience to Islamic teachings that prohibit the depiction of living creatures. Meanwhile, iconological analysis reveals the fundamental meaning that this tomb complex is a tangible manifestation of the Malay people's philosophy of life, namely "Adat bersendi Syarak, Syarak bersendi Kitabbullah". The tomb of Marhum Pekan is not merely a burial place, but also evidence of the history of Islamic-Malay civilization and the collective memory of the community, which confirms that the development of Pekanbaru City grew and developed on a foundation of religious values ​​and harmonious local cultural wisdom.

Ismawatie, Emma, Jimat, Resi Tondho, Putri, Arum Kusuma, Kurniawan, Adi
Abstract: Blood group examination is a blood grouping system based on the type of antigen. Examination of blood groups with antisera reagents, namely examination of blood groups with antisera reagents obtained from in vitro supernatant… atant cultures derived from mouse cell immunoglobulin hybridization. Examination of blood type with serum is an examination that uses blood type A as anti-B, blood type B as anti-A, and blood type O as anti-AB. The purpose of this study was to determine the profile of the ABO system blood group examination using antisera reagents and serum slide method. The research method used was descriptive with samples of the ABO system blood group using antisera and serum reagents for 30 respondents using probability sampling technique. The materials used are human blood groups A, B, AB and O and anti-A, anti-B, anti-AB reagents. Data analysis was descriptive in the form of a profile table of the results of the ABO system blood group examination using antisera and serum reagents. The results of the study revealed that the results of blood group A were 7 (23%), blood group B were 7 (23%), blood group AB were 8 (27%), and blood group O were 8 (27%). The results obtained showed that the antisera and serum reagents had differences in the blood group examination results, namely the grade of agglutination produced by the serum was different from that of the antisera. It can be concluded that the results of blood grouping with antisera and serum reagents can be used for blood group examination. However, compared to antisera reagents, the results are better using antisera reagents compared to serum.
