The introduction of toxic substances or energy into the environment degrades environmental quality, which in turn can have negative effects on living things like human health, biodiversity, and the global climate. This multi-faceted problem has far-reaching consequences for ecosystems and human life. For Indonesia, this has grown into a major problem throughout the last several decades. Water, air, soil, and noise pollution have all seen dramatic increases due to the expansion of cities, the industrial sector, and the proliferation of motor vehicles. All four forms of Indonesian environmental pollution—air, water, soil, and noise—are covered in this research, along with their origins, effects on human and environmental health, and potential solutions, both governmental and grassroots. A literature review of secondary sources, such as government papers, scientific journals, and other official publications, is employed as the technique. This document is written with the intention of drawing attention to the significance of environmental protection and offering broad preventative actions. According to the results, industrial operations, automobiles, household garbage, and a general lack of environmental consciousness are the main causes of pollution. Hence, in order to lessen the impact of pollution and enhance environmental quality, technological solutions, regulatory laws, and communities that are both interdisciplinary and collaborative are crucial tools.

Reciprocal tariff changes imposed by the United States on its trading partner countries including Indonesia, create changes in export and import tariffs in Indonesia which result in a significant impact on the Indonesian economy, which has an impact on export and import sectors such as oil and gas, then non-oil and gas which includes processing industries, agriculture, forestry, fisheries, mining as well as consumer goods, raw / auxiliary materials, and capital goods. This research aims to analyze the impact of exports and imports in the country of Indonesia due to the reciprocal tax rate policy implemented by the United States. This research uses a qualitative approach with the type of content analysis, which involves collecting data from news articles, research reports, and relevant academic publications. The results showed that the imposition of reciprocal tariffs imposed by the United States against Indonesia caused an increase in imports from 2017 to 2020 by 1.38% in the consumer goods sector. On the other hand, the export side decreased in the oil and gas sector from 2017 to 2020 by 2.37% which resulted in disruption of economic stability in the global supply chain that created inflation, and increased imports in Indonesia resulted in competing local product prices with imported products so that many Indonesian manufacturing companies reduced production and terminated employment. From this research, it is expected that Indonesia will be able to maximize the opportunities that exist from the changes and challenges of global trade.

Stockpiles are accumulations of materials such as coal or ore stored at specific locations. Accurate stockpile volume measurement is crucial in the mining and logistics industries for inventory management and cost efficiency. Conventional methods like Real-Time Kinematic (RTK) GPS rely on surface coordinate measurements but require numerous points, especially for irregular-shaped objects. Newer technologies like Terrestrial Laser Scanners (TLS) offer high-precision alternatives by capturing thousands of points per second, expediting and enhancing the resolution of volume measurements. This study compares TLS and RTK GPS methods in measuring the volume of andesite rock stockpiles at PT Bara Tabang. This research uses a quantitative approach, involving six Ground Control Points (GCPs) measured using the Sokkia GRX2 RTK GPS on October 24, 2024. TLS generated over 8.6 million point cloud data filtered down to 35,197 points, while RTK GPS yielded 2,276 coordinates. Accuracy testing showed very small RMSE values (RMSEr: 0.008 m; RMSEz: 0.007 m), and both LE90 and CE90 demonstrated 90% confidence within a 0.012 m range. Volume calculation using Surpac software with the cut and fill method showed TLS produced a volume of 18,766 bcm (51,982 tons/m³), while RTK GPS resulted in 18,694 bcm (51,782 tons/m³), with a difference of 72 bcm or 0.211%.These results indicate that both methods offer acceptable accuracy; however, TLS provides greater data density, efficiency, and precision, particularly for complex or large-scale stockpile objects. Therefore, TLS is recommended for high-accuracy volume measurement in mining operations that require efficiency and detailed analysis.

This research investigates the implementation of stock opname procedures in the General Affair warehouse at PT Bernofarm Pharmaceutical Company, a major pharmaceutical manufacturer. The study responds to the problem of discrepancies in inventory data, which can disrupt operations due to inaccurate recording or delays in documentation. The objective is to analyze the effectiveness and structure of stock opname procedures in controlling non-productive inventory. A qualitative descriptive method was employed, utilizing observation and interviews with Accounting and General Affair warehouse staff to collect primary data. The findings reveal that stock opname at PT Bernofarm is conducted periodically through coordinated stages: scheduling, preparation of inventory data, physical inspection, data reconciliation, reporting, and inventory adjustment. The procedures are carried out collaboratively between the Accounting and General Affair divisions, with clearly defined responsibilities and documentation such as stock cards, credit memos, and goods receipts. Despite a difference in theoretical and practical implementation—where inventory recording is managed by warehouse staff rather than accounting—the presence of functional segregation and supervisory checks ensures effective internal control. The study concludes that a structured and consistent stock opname process improves data accuracy, minimizes discrepancies, and enhances accountability. This research is limited to non-productive inventory in a single company division, and further studies are suggested to explore digital solutions or comparative analyses across industries.

The policy of granting Mining Business Licenses (IUP) to universities under Article 51A of the Minerba Bill raises legal, ethical, and sustainability concerns. This study applies a qualitative approach through literature review to examine the provision from the perspectives of Indonesian law and Islamic teachings. The findings reveal that allowing universities to manage mining permits risks diminishing their academic role, compromising scholarly independence, and fostering potential conflicts of interest. From the standpoint of positive law, this policy contradicts the precautionary principle, social justice, and educational objectives enshrined in the 1945 Constitution, the Higher Education Law, and the Environmental Protection Law. In Islamic thought, irresponsible exploitation of natural resources is classified as fasād (corruption), strictly prohibited, as reflected in Hadith No. 479 narrated by Bukhari. The study concludes by rejecting the provision and recommends repositioning universities as guardians of sustainability values rather than participants in extractive industries.

This study explores the role of halal certificates in increasing consumer confidence in food industry products in Indonesia. In a Muslim society and a global market that is increasingly aware of religious ethics and values, halal certificates are not only proof of halalness, but also serve as a signal of quality, safety and integrity of the producer. This research uses a qualitative approach through a literature study, by reviewing scientific articles, books, official reports, and relevant documents related to halal and consumer behavior. The results of the analysis show that halal certificates have three main roles: (1) as a credibility signal to reduce information asymmetry between producers and consumers; (2) as an instrument to reduce risk perceptions of ingredients, processes, and production ethics; and (3) as a brand communication medium that builds emotional attachment and social value. Consumers, especially millennials and Gen Z, demand halalness accompanied by transparency and education in the certification process. Halal certificates also strengthen product competitiveness in the global market, reflecting a religious lifestyle while being modern and sustainable. Therefore, industry players need to make halal certification a comprehensive brand strategy, while regulators such as BPJPH must continue to improve the transparency and effectiveness of the system.

Work in the informal sector, such as weaving, has high health risks due to the repetitive nature and static positions required. Weavers often experience Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSDs) due to sitting too long in front of the loom for about 8 hours. This condition causes muscle contractions in the shoulders and neck, reduces blood flow, and causes pain and fatigue. A study of two sarong weaving industries in Dalangan Village found that 70% of 10 workers complained of low back pain. Many workers work with non-ergonomic positions and inappropriate equipment. Improvements in work attitudes are needed so that workers' health and productivity are maintained.
