Abstract:This study developed and evaluated a standalone, non-intrusive radio frequency identification (RFID)-based elevator access control system for a four-story residential building. The system used an Arduino Uno, an MFRC522…
RFID reader, and relay interfaces to regulate access to Floors 2, 3, and 4. Authorized card identifiers and floor permissions were stored locally, enabling offline operation without an external database or network connection. The relays interfaced only with the elevator push-button circuits and did not modify the original controller, motor drive, door mechanism, or safety system. Performance was evaluated using 47 registered cards and three unregistered cards, with each card tested 50 times, producing 2,500 authentication trials. Under the tested conditions, all registered cards were correctly authenticated according to their assigned floor permissions, while all unregistered cards were rejected. The system achieved 100% authentication accuracy, 100% correct relay activation, and 100% unauthorized-card rejection. Stable card detection was obtained at distances of up to approximately 1 cm. The first-floor button remained independent of the RFID module to preserve minimum accessibility during module failure. The proposed system provides a practical and low-cost retrofit solution for floor-specific elevator access control in small residential buildings.
Abstract:The discussion about the need for Muslim communities in Muslim countries or those with Muslim majority populations to have an integrated instrument in the fiscal policy has recently been increasingly prominent. At least…
driven by two factors, internal and external. The internal factor is the fiscal policy in the form of taxes that have been implemented by the state by adopting a conventional economic system that has not created what is called social welfare in many Muslim countries. Second, along with de-globalization that has hit the world recently, especially as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic, which has reduced dependence between countries, countries have to rethink to get away from dependence on the global economic system, including how to think about policies. fiscal and monetary in accordance with each country and can survive and be useful for dealing with a similar pandemic. One of the Islamic economic instruments that has surfaced in the discussion of the fiscal system is Zakat. Zakat in many studies indicates that it can be an alternative substitute for the tax position in the state fiscal system. The purpose of this paper is to find answers to whether Zakat is able to replace the tax position in the state fiscal policy system. What is its position in economic theory and Islamic law, and how to formulate zakat as a fiscal policy instrument? This paper also includes a discussion of potential conflicts that arise when zakat is applied to replace taxes.

ine the evolution of women’s roles from historical to contemporary perspectives. Historical approaches and methodological frameworks are employed to structure arguments systematically, covering the basic Islamic concept of women’s roles, the methodology applied in the literature review, analysis of social dynamics and relevant case studies, and critical discussion of challenges and opportunities faced by women in the public sphere. This study also identifies internal and external factors that influence women’s roles, ranging from geographical context to public policy developments.

This article explores various historical and contemporary dimensions that shape the role of Muslim women in the public sphere, highlighting both the potential and challenges in translating Islamic values of equality into policy and social practice. It is hoped that this study will enrich academic discourse on the relationship between religion, gender, and modernity, and pave the way for policy initiatives that support women’s empowerment in the Islamic world.

Abstract:Clean water services are a basic need for the community, so optimizing the performance of regional drinking water companies (PDAM) is crucial to improve customer satisfaction. However, the main challenge faced by PDAM Balikpapan…
likpapan City is low customer satisfaction due to suboptimal service quality, which is largely influenced by employee performance. This study aims to analyze the effect of internal service quality on employee job satisfaction and customer-oriented performance, and to examine the mediating role of job satisfaction at PDAM Perumda Tirta Manuntung in Balikpapan City. This study is motivated by the importance of improving the quality of public services in the clean water utility sector, which requires organizations to be able to create an effective internal service system to support the quality of services provided to the community. This study uses an explanatory approach. Quantitative data were collected through questionnaires distributed to 196 employees, selected using the Slovin formula, while qualitative data were obtained through in-depth interviews and field observations. Data analysis used Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) to examine the relationship between variables. The results show that internal service quality has a positive and significant influence on employee job satisfaction and customer-oriented performance. Job satisfaction was also found to have a positive and significant influence on customer-oriented employee performance. Furthermore, job satisfaction mediated the relationship between internal service quality and customer-oriented employee performance. These findings strengthen the relevance of the Service-Profit Chain Model in the context of public service organizations, particularly regional water utilities. This study provides theoretical contributions through the development of the Service-Profit Chain Model in the public utility sector, as well as practical contributions for PDAM management in formulating strategies to continuously improve internal service quality, job satisfaction, and customer service quality.
Abstract:The problem of poverty is still the main challenge for development in rural areas of Indonesia. Limited employment opportunities and low access to productive economic activities cause some village communities to be economically…
mically vulnerable. One of the sectors that is considered to have great potential in reducing poverty levels is Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs). This article aims to conceptually examine the role of MSMEs in efforts to reduce poverty in rural communities by taking the context of Bantaeng Regency. The writing method uses a qualitative-descriptive approach through literature studies of scientific journals, reference books, and relevant official government documents published in the last five years. The results of the study show that MSMEs play a role as a driver of the local economy through the creation of job opportunities, increasing household income, and strengthening the economic independence of communities based on local potential. However, the development of MSMEs in rural areas is still faced with various structural obstacles, such as limited capital, low managerial capacity of business actors, and limited market access. Therefore, policy support and cross-stakeholder synergy are needed to optimize the role of MSMEs as an instrument to reduce poverty in rural areas

This research uses a qualitative approach with a case study method on MSMEs in the food and beverage sector. Data collection was carried out through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation, while data analysis used thematic analysis techniques. The results show that digitalization contributes to improving operational efficiency, expanding market access through digital platforms, and strengthening relationships with customers. On the other hand, financial inclusion facilitates access to formal financial services, such as financing and digital payment systems, thereby supporting more professional business management. The synergy between digitalization and financial inclusion has proven to be able to increase the innovation capacity and productivity of MSMEs, which ultimately encourages business transformation towards a higher scale. However, there are several obstacles faced, such as low digital and financial literacy and limited access to infrastructure. Therefore, support from various parties is needed through training, mentoring, and policies that support the empowerment of MSMEs in a sustainable manner
