Assessing Food Safety Challenges in Indonesia’s Free Nutrition Meal Program: Causes and Solutions to Foodborne Illnesses
This study investigates the food safety issues within Indonesia's Free Nutrition Meal (MBG) program, which provides meals to children in schools, and analyzes the causes of foodborne illness outbreaks. A quantitative research methodology was employed, utilizing a cross-sectional survey of schools participating in the MBG program to assess food safety practices, frequency of foodborne illness cases, and other relevant factors. The findings indicate that foodborne illnesses were prevalent, driven by inadequate food safety practices, improper food handling, insufficient training for food handlers, and insufficient food storage and transportation infrastructure. Additionally, the study highlights the role of regulatory oversight by the Indonesian National Food and Drug Agency (BPOM), which faces challenges in enforcing food safety standards at the local level. The study concludes by recommending improvements in food safety training, infrastructure, and regulatory enforcement to ensure the health and safety of children benefiting from the program
The Application of Management Information Systems and Digital Transformation in Chicken Crunchy Roll MSMEs to Improve Operational Efficiency and Data Security
This study aims to provide an example of the application of a Management Information System (MIS) and digital transformation in the Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprise (MSMEs) Chicken Crunchy Roll, which previously operated using manual methods. This effort is intended to improve operational efficiency, data security, and financial information management within the enterprise. The study employs a descriptive qualitative approach through observation and direct interviews with the business owner to obtain an overview of the enterprise’s condition and its MIS implementation. The results indicate that financial recording at Chicken Crunchy Roll MSMEs is still conducted manually and not performed on a regular basis. However, the enterprise has utilized social media, specifically Instagram, as a promotional tool, and adopted QRIS-based digital payments for non-cash transactions. The owner has not yet implemented a point-of-sale (POS) application or cloud computing technology, which limits the business’s ability to manage data efficiently and streamline administrative processes. The implementation of an MIS is considered capable of enhancing operational effectiveness, data protection, and the accuracy of financial reporting. Therefore, it is necessary to develop digital transformation strategies for MSMEs to enable adaptation to technological changes and strengthen their competitive advantage
Analysis of the Role of Baznas and Zakat Collection Institutions in Supporting Sharia Green Banking in Indonesia
This research was conducted to gain an in-depth understanding of the contribution of the National Zakat Agency (BAZNAS) and Zakat Institutions (LAZ) in supporting the implementation of green sharia banking in the framework of sustainable development. Using a library research approach, this study analyzes various scientific publications, regulations, and relevant official documents. The research findings indicate that BAZNAS and LAZ play a significant role in optimizing the use of zakat, infaq, and sadaqah funds to support environmental programs, including renewable energy, waste management, and ecology-based economic empowerment. However, efforts to integrate zakat with green banking practices are still limited by regulatory aspects, institutional capacity, and the level of public literacy. Based on these results, this research emphasizes the importance of strengthening the regulatory framework and increasing institutional capacity in order to maximize the contribution of zakat institutions to green financing

Ethical Integrity and Regulatory Compliance in Sharia-Compliant Multi-Level Marketing
Sharia-compliant Multi-Level Marketing (MLM) has emerged as an ethical alternative to conventional MLM models, aiming to align business practices with Islamic economic principles. However, the stigma of money game schemes continues to undermine consumer trust. This study investigates how Sharia-compliant MLM differentiates itself from exploitative schemes through ethical frameworks, structural mechanisms, and regulatory compliance. A qualitative approach was employed, combining semi-structured interviews with regulators, practitioners, and consumers (n=18) and document analysis of fatwas, regulatory frameworks, and company reports. Thematic analysis revealed four key findings: (1) Sharia-compliant MLM is product-driven and structured to eliminate riba, gharar, and maysir; (2) consumer skepticism persists despite fatwa endorsements, highlighting the need for stronger consumer education; (3) regulatory oversight varies across jurisdictions, with Malaysia and Indonesia providing benchmarks through formal fatwas and supervisory frameworks; (4) digital innovations such as blockchain and ethical e-marketing offer transparency but require ethical guidance and regulatory alignment. This study contributes by integrating Islamic business ethics, legitimacy theory, and consumer trust theory to explain how Sharia-based MLM can enhance legitimacy. Practically, it offers policy recommendations for regulators and governance frameworks for industry practitioners

Quantitative findings revealed a significant improvement in writing scores following the intervention, while qualitative analysis indicated increased academic self efficacy and peer led knowledge exchange. The program not only enhanced technical writing competencies but also catalyzed the emergence of a collaborative academic culture within the vocational setting. This initiative offers a replicable model for embedding scientific writing development into vocational curricula, contributing to institutional goals of research literacy and publication readiness
Cybersecurity Awareness as a Component of HR Policies: Protecting Employee and Organizational Data in the Digital Era
Cybersecurity awareness has become a critical organizational priority in the digital era, where human factors play a significant role in mitigating cyber risks. This study investigates the implementation of cybersecurity awareness policies within human resource (HR) management, focusing on their effectiveness, challenges, and potential solutions. Using a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through interviews, observations, and document analysis in organizations with established HR policies addressing cybersecurity. The findings reveal that tailored training programs, leadership support, and cross-departmental collaboration are key to fostering employee engagement and preparedness. However, challenges such as resource limitations, resistance to change, and rapidly evolving cyber threats hinder the effectiveness of these initiatives. The study underscores the importance of aligning cybersecurity awareness with organizational culture and leveraging innovative approaches, such as gamification and role-specific training, to enhance engagement. This research contributes to the existing body of knowledge by exploring the intersection of HR policies and cybersecurity and provides actionable insights for organizations to strengthen their resilience. Recommendations for future research include examining the long-term impact of cybersecurity awareness programs and exploring their applicability across diverse organizational contexts
The Impact of Consumer Co-Creation on Brand Loyalty: A Structural Equation Modeling Approach
This study explores the impact of consumer co-creation on brand perception, satisfaction, and loyalty. Given the growing importance of consumer involvement in shaping brand identities, this research employs Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) to examine the relationships between consumer co-creation activities and brand outcomes. The study focuses on a sample of 100 respondents actively engaged in co-creation with brands in the fashion, technology, and FMCG sectors. The findings reveal that higher levels of consumer co-creation significantly enhance brand perception and satisfaction, which in turn positively influence brand loyalty. Additionally, the study shows that brand perception and satisfaction mediate the relationship between co-creation and loyalty, indicating that co-creation not only strengthens the emotional connection between consumers and brands but also contributes to long-term consumer commitment. This research provides valuable insights for marketers seeking to leverage co-creation as a strategy for building stronger, more loyal customer relationships in an increasingly competitive marketplace
