Exploring the Concept of Ma'rifatullah as Preparation for Marriage: Thematic Study of Tafsir Al-Misbah
No full textThis research is motivated by the high divorce rate in Indonesia, which indicates a fragility in marital resilience. The root of the problem often lies in the daily interaction dynamics between partners with different characters and backgrounds. This article aims to explore the concept of ma’rifatullah (deep knowledge of Allah) as a fundamental spiritual provision for building household resilience and harmony. To achieve this objective, this study employs a qualitative method with a library research approach and applies thematic interpretation (tafsir maudu’i). The primary data source is Tafsir Al-Misbah by Muhammad Quraish Shihab, used to analyze QS. Az-Zāriyāt [51]: 56, QS. Al-Baqarah [2]: 2-3, QS. Ar-Rūm [30]: 21, and QS. Aṭ-Ṭalāq [65]: 2-3. This is supported by secondary sources such as relevant journals and books. The research findings conclude that ma’rifatullah offers a solid spiritual foundation by instilling the values of piety (taqwa), patience (sabr), gratitude (shukr), and trust in God (tawakkal). These values serve as a practical guide for couples in navigating conflict and household dynamics. Thus, the internalization of ma’rifatullah plays a crucial role as a shield against dissolution and as a bonding agent for realizing a family embodying tranquillity (sakinah), love (mawaddah), and mercy (rahmah)
Optimizing invesment decisions: A comparative analysis of fundamental and technical approaches
Get PDFThis study discusses the comparison between using technical analysis independently and combining fundamental analysis with technical analysis in optimizing stock investment decision-making. The data used is secondary data from LQ45 stocks during the period of February to July 2024. Technical analysis in this study uses the Stochastic RSI indicator, while fundamental analysis refers to the Price to Book Value (PBV) ratio. The results show using technical analysis has an accuracy rate of 92% with a profit of 16.224, which is higher than the combination of both analyses which recorded an accuracy of 87% and a profit of 5.999. Nevertheless, the combined strategy is proven to be more effective in reducing investment risk, making it still relevant for investors who focus on long-term security. This study is important because in investment practice, market participants often face confusion in choosing the most suitable analytical approach. By empirically comparing the two strategies, and this study provides insights that can help investors adjust their strategies based on their goals, risk tolerance, and investment horizon, so that the decisions made are more targeted and measurable
Natural resource dependence and economic growth in Sulawesi: An empirical study of the resource curse phenomenon
Get PDFNatural resource abundance does not always guarantee successful regional economic development. In many cases, heavy reliance on extractive sectors can lead to structural disparities and growth stagnation, a condition widely referred to as the resource curse. This study aims to identify early signs of the resource curse in six provinces across Sulawesi Island and to examine the influence of the Regional Resource Curse Index (RRCI) on Gross Domestic Regional Product (GDRP) during the period 2013–2023. A quantitative approach was employed by constructing a composite RRCI derived from the Natural Resource Dependency Index (NRDI) and the Regional Sustainable Development Index (RSDI), followed by regression analysis using Two-Stage Least Squares (2SLS), with nickel commodity prices used as an instrumental variable. The results show that the highest RRCI value was recorded in Southeast Sulawesi at 49.7 in 2023, followed closely by West Sulawesi and North Sulawesi, both with scores of 50.8. While the OLS and Fixed Effects models found no significant effect of RRCI on GDRP, the 2SLS estimation revealed a significant and positive causal relationship, with a lnRRCI coefficient of 0.5438 at the 1% significance level. These findings suggest that regional economic growth remains strongly driven by the extractive sector, although its contribution may be short-lived. This study concludes that Sulawesi Island has not yet fully experienced the resource curse, but early indications are present. Strengthening institutional capacity and developing alternative economic sectors are necessary to prevent long-term dependency on natural resources
Determinants of local government revenue and economic potential: Pathways for revenue enchancement
Get PDFFiscal independence represents a critical indicator of regional governments' capacity to finance development without dependence on central government transfers. Klaten Regency continues to exhibit low fiscal autonomy levels with suboptimal of local government revenue (LGR) contributions. This study aims to: a). identify principal factors influencing Klaten Regency's LGR, and b). analyze local economic potential for enhancing revenue sources. The research novelty integrates comprehensive economic factor analysis including Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP), population, tourist arrivals, regional taxes, regional levies, and capital expenditure with leading sector identification through Location Quotient (LQ) analysis. This holistic approach fills a significant research gap in Klaten Regency studies. The methodology employs multiple linear regression analysis of six variables, stakeholder interviews, and LQ analysis to determine base economic sectors. Results demonstrate that GRDP, population, and regional taxes have a significant influence on LGR, while tourist numbers, levies, and capital expenditure show no significant impact. Notably, levies exhibit negative effects on revenue generation. The study concludes that LGR enhancement requires optimization of base economic sectors rather than broad-spectrum approaches. Strengthening fiscal capacity demands adaptive, targeted management strategies aligned with local potential. Future research will focus on formulating tourism sector development strategies through regional business management frameworks. This comprehensive analysis provides policymakers with evidence-based insights for improving Klaten's fiscal independence through strategic economic sector development

Study of Tridax procumbens L. Extract on SOD and MDA levels in Cingarette Smoke Exposed Rats
No full textCigarette smoke is a source of free radicals that can damage cells and tissues of the respiratory tract. Tridax procumbens L. has potential as an antioxidant because it contains flavonoids that play a role in counteracting free radicals. The study aims to determine the potential of Tridax procumbens L. as a source of antioxidants against SOD and MDA levels in Wistar rats exposed to cigarette smoke. The study used Wistar rats (25 heads) with 5 treatments consisting of K (aquadest), KN (exposed to cigarette smoke), P1 (exposed to cigarette smoke and given 100 mg/kg BW extract), P2 (exposed to cigarette smoke and given 200 mg/kg BW extract), and P3 (exposed to cigarette smoke and given 300 mg/kg BW extract). Extract administration was carried out on days 1-21 and cigarette smoke exposure was carried out on days 8-21. Parameters observed consisted of flavonoid content test (by KLT method, total flavonoid content, total phenolic content), body weight, SOD levels (whole blood method), and MDA levels (TBARs method). Data were analyzed by one-way ANOVA test (P<0.05) followed by Duncan post hoc test. The results showed that Tridax procumbens L. contains flavonoids with an Rf value of 0.23. Body weight showed no significant difference (P>0.05), but SOD and MDA levels were different between treatments (P<0.05) with the most optimum dose of 300 mg/kg BW. The conclusion shows that a dose of 300 mg/kg BW of ethanol extract of Tridax procumbens L. can act as a natural antioxidant from exposure to cigarette smoke in vitro
Analysis of the Implementation of the Contractor Safety Management System (CSMS) in the Implementation Phase at PT X Ogan Komering
Get PDFThe high intensity of the project and stages of work at PT X Ogan Komering, so it requires contractors and subcontractors to operate in the area. Overall at PT X there are 70% of workers from contractors, so work accidents are more prone to occur in contractor workers, so it is important to ensure that contractors prioritize aspects of Occupational Safety and Health (K3). One approach to achieving this goal is to implement a CSMS, which ensures that contractors include OSH aspects in the project being undertaken. The implementation of CSMS often faces challenges, such as contractors' limited understanding of CSMS, for which efforts are needed to overcome these obstacles and prevent errors among workers that can cause incidents. The design of this study uses a descriptive qualitative method with a case study design with data collection from interviews, observations and document reviews. The Contractor Safety Management System (CSMS) consists of 2 Phases, namely Administration and Implementation, in the Implementation Phase consists of Pre-Work Assessment (PSB), Running Assessment (PB), and Final Assessment (PA). In general, the implementation of CSMS has gone well, this can be seen from the availability of SIKA, SIM-L and there is also Safety Induction as a step to minimize the risk of accidents. The supporting and inhibiting factor in the implementation of CSMS is the awareness of all parties involved. If awareness in the implementation of CSMS is lacking, its implementation will be hampered. The implementation of CSMS has been well underway and has succeeded in increasing OSH awareness and reducing work incidents, but it needs to increase supervision and socialization of contractor workers, especially in high-risk jobs

Reimagining Vietnam’s early childhood curriculum: Moving toward competency, equity, and cultural relevance
Get PDFThis paper analyzes the current Early Childhood Education (ECE) curriculum in Vietnam and the key innovations proposed in the Ministry of Education and Training’s (MOET) new draft curriculum. A systematic review of 42 academic papers identifies major limitations in the existing curriculum, including rigid content, outdated pedagogies, and limited alignment with 21st-century learning needs. In contrast, the draft curriculum introduces a modern, competency-based and rights-based approach that prioritizes holistic development, social-emotional learning, and respect for diversity. Its reforms center on three orientations: (1) curriculum modernization through socio-emotional competencies, child agency, and flexible pedagogical approaches; (2) strengthened teacher and institutional autonomy, including improved working conditions and increased decision-making power; and (3) equity and inclusion through rights-based practices and robust family–community engagement. These developments demonstrate Vietnam’s commitment to global ECE standards and advance international discussions on competency- and rights-based early childhood curriculum reform
