The Indonesian government issued Presidential Regulation Number 79 of 2023, amending Presidential Regulation Number 55 of 2019, to accelerate the adoption of battery-based electric vehicles (BEVs) and reduce greenhouse gas emissions through incentives. These incentives, both fiscal and non-fiscal, aim to encourage the public to switch to electric vehicles. However, the environmental impact of electric vehicles needs consideration in the context of sustainable transport. This study analyzes the challenges of the incentive policy in promoting BEVs and its potential connection to greenwashing practices, aiming to develop effective solutions for environmental issues related to these incentives. Using a normative juridical approach, the research relies on secondary data, including primary legal materials and secondary sources like textbooks, journals, expert opinions, and jurisprudence. The findings highlight the need for supervision in providing incentives and suggest prioritizing the electrification of public vehicles to achieve sustainable green transportation.

Abstract. Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF) is an infectious disease caused by the dengue virus and transmitted through the bite of the Aedes aegypti mosquito. This disease continues to be a serious health problem in Indonesia, with high incidence rates in various regions, including rural areas. Efforts to prevent DHF are often focused on controlling mosquito vectors through various methods, one of which is the use of insecticides. However, the use of chemical insecticides can have negative impacts on human health and the environment. Therefore, this research develops a natural alternative in the form of Anti Mosquito Spray and Hand Sanitizer made from lemongrass (Cymbopogon citratus). Lemongrass was chosen because it contains citronella, a compound proven to have activity as a repellent or mosquito deterrent. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of lemongrass-based mosquito repellent spray as well as its capability as a hand sanitizer. The results show that this product is not only effective in preventing mosquito bites but also safe to use as a hand sanitizer, making it a practical and environmentally friendly solution in the prevention of DHF. Abstrak. Demam Berdarah Dengue (DBD) merupakan penyakit menular yang disebabkan oleh virus dengue dan ditularkan melalui gigitan nyamuk Aedes aegypti. Penyakit ini terus menjadi masalah kesehatan serius di Indonesia, dengan tingkat kejadian yang tinggi di berbagai wilayah, termasuk daerah perdesaan. Upaya pencegahan terhadap DBD sering kali difokuskan pada pengendalian vektor nyamuk melalui berbagai metode, salah satunya adalah penggunaan insektisida. Namun, penggunaan insektisida kimia dapat berdampak negatif terhadap kesehatan manusia dan lingkungan. Oleh karena itu, penelitian ini mengembangkan alternatif alami dalam bentuk Anti Mosquito Spray and Hand Sanitizer yang berbahan dasar serai (Cymbopogon citratus). Serai dipilih karena mengandung senyawa sitronela yang terbukti memiliki aktivitas sebagai repelan atau pengusir nyamuk. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengevaluasi efektivitas spray anti nyamuk berbahan dasar serai serta kemampuannya sebagai pembersih tangan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa produk ini tidak hanya efektif dalam mencegah gigitan nyamuk, tetapi juga aman digunakan sebagai pembersih tangan, sehingga dapat menjadi solusi praktis dan ramah lingkungan dalam upaya pencegahan DBD.

Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis peran pembiayaan syariah dalam pemberdayaan Usaha Mikro, Kecil, dan Menengah (UMKM) pada PT BPRS Baktimakmur Indah, Krian, Sidoarjo serta mengidentifikasi kendala dan solusi yang dihadapi dalam implementasinya. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan metode studi kasus. Data diperoleh melalui wawancara, observasi, dan dokumentasi, kemudian dianalisis menggunakan teknik reduksi data, penyajian data, dan penarikan kesimpulan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa PT BPRS Baktimakmur Indah berperan dalam pemberdayaan UMKM melalui penyediaan akses pembiayaan syariah, edukasi keuangan syariah, konsultasi bisnis, dan pendampingan usaha. Jumlah nasabah pembiayaan UMKM dalam tiga tahun mengalami peningkatan, namun, dibandingkan dengan jumlah UMKM terdaftar di Kecamatan Krian jangkauan pembiayaan masih sebesar 34,53%. Temuan penelitian menunjukkan beberapa kendala dalam pemberdayaan UMKM, yaitu rendahnya jumlah UMKM yang memanfaatkan pembiayaan syariah, rendahnya literasi keuangan syariah, keterbatasan administrasi dan manajemen usaha, rendahnya pemanfaatan program pendampingan, terbatasnya kegiatan pemberdayaan, serta tingginya risiko pembiayaan UMKM.
